This Currency Issukd.— Under four acts of
Congress about one thousand one hundred and
twenty millions of currency of various kinds
have been issued, of which nearly five hundred
millions have been withdrawn, leaving only six
hundred and twenty-six millions afloat on the
Ist December last. But of this six hundred
and twenty-six millions, only the four hundred
and twenty-six millions of greenbacks, the
Financial Chronicle argues, are nQW efficient
paper mouey, as the remainder are interest
bearing notes, and have ceased to exercise most
of the functions as active currency. It is also
held that but little new legislation is necessary
to contract ihe currency, as the act of June 30,
IBu4, gives the Secretary of the Treasury power
to convert at his discretion the whole mass of
greenbacks into compound interest notes, with
a view to convenience in funding.

AST - When the Emperor of Japan is dissatis
fied with his officers, he frequently sends them
an elegantly finished sabre, with which they
are to politely rip their own entrails out. Re
cently the Emperor became highly displeased
with one of his officers, and seni him the “ re
nowned ” sabre. The officer held high rank,
and in order to alleviate as fur as possible the
effect of the message, the Emperor sent him
one of his own swords, set wi'h diamonds, and
selected his prime minister as bearer. The
officer received the present, and was well aware
of what it signified. After reverent Ly regarding
the instrument of his punishment, lie quietly
left his house, went to the part, got on board a
French ship bound for Havre, and safely
reached Paris, where he sold the sabre for one
hundred and twenty t‘ ousaud francs.
