GREAT NATIONAL LOAN.
50T-NEW FIVE; PER GENT. BONDS OF
THE UNITED STATES.
The Treasury Department is now able to promise'that the
registered Certificates of Stdok, and a good part of the Cou
pon Bonds, of the New Loan of the United States, bearing
Five per cent. Interest, payable quarterly in Gold, will be
ready for delivery early in the present month. The Sub
scriptions to the Loan now amount to #62,000,000, and it is
expected that the Subscriptions and Sales will progress
more rapidly when the Certificates and Bonds are ready for
market abroad as well as at hemd. The whole sum of Five
per Cents offered to the public generally, and to the holders
of United States 6-20 Bonds, without qualification, is #200,-
000,000. Whpn this amount, to which preference is thus
given, ia taken np, the remainder of the Five per Cents,
#350,000,000, embraced in the New Loan of July 14, 1870,
"for refunding the Public Debt, will be offered in connection
with 300,000,000, Four nnd one-half per Cents, and any part
of 700,000,000 of Four*per Cents, the [one running fifteen
years and the other thirty years.
The following is a copy of the New Five per Cent. Bond,
under and pursuant to the New Loan Act of Congress:
fobm of 5 rrn cent. bond.
interest | FUNDED LOAN OF 1881 | 6 pet cent.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ARE INDEBTED TO THE BEARER IN THR SOM OF
DOLLARS.
THIS BOND is issued in accordance with the provisions
Os an Act of Congress entitlod “An Act to authorize the
refunding of the National Debt,” approved July 14, 1876,-
amended by an Act approved January 20, 1871, and is re
deemable at tbe pleasure of the United States, after the first
day of May, A. D., 1881, lu Coin of the standard value of
the United States on said July 14, 1870, with interest in
such Coin, from the day of the date hereof, at the rate of
FIVE PER CENTUM per annum, payable quarterly, on
the first day of February, May, August, and November, in
each year. The principal and interest are exempt from
the payment of all Taxes or Duties of the United States, as
well as from taxation in any form, by or under State, mu
nicipal, or local authority.
Wasiiinoton 18
Entered Recorded
Register of the Treasury.
Registered Bonds will be issued of the denominations of
#6O, #IOO, #6OO, #I,OOO, #6,000, and #IO,OOO, and coupon bonds
of each denomination except the last two. The interest will
be payable in the United States, at the office of the Treas
urer, any Assistant Treasurer, or designated depository of
the Government, quarterly, on the first days of February,
May, August, and November, in each year.
The Interest on the Registered Stock of this Loan, it is
determined by the Treasury Department, will be paid as
conveniently to the holder as on the Coupon Stock, and per
sonal attendance, or attendance by proxy, at the Treasury,
to draw and receipt for the Interest win be dispensed with,
whenever the check of the United States Treasury, mailed
punctually to the address and order of each holder, on oT before
every quarter-day, is preferred to such attendance. This check
payable in Gold Coin at the Treasury In New York, (or such
other office as the Stock is registered at), will be nego
tiable or collectable on the indorsement of the owner or
owners of the Slock. In pursuance of this arrangement,
the subscribers to, or purchasers of, the Stock jn its regis
tered form, (which is a complete protection against theft or
other losses Incident to Coupon Bonds payable to Bearer) are
advised to give their Post-office address ia full, and to notify
of any change in tlio'address between quarter days.
The whole proceeds of the new loan will be applied to the
payment or redemption and cancellation of the 5-20 years
six per cent, bonds, and, in addition to these proceeds, the
6-20s are now being reduced by purchase at the rate of #lO,-
000,000 per month.
The entire effect, therefore, of The New Loan, in connec
tion with the existing Sinking Fund process of the Treas
ury, is to reduce both Principal and Interest of the Fublic
Debt of the United States. The Loan creates no additional
Supply of Qovernment Stocks, while the application of the sur
plus revenues derived In Gold from Customs is constantly
lessening, as it has been doing for two years past, the
Funded Stocks bearing six per cent. Gold Interest.
The Ist of May schedule of the Public Debt, which lias
just been published by the Seoretary of the Treasury’, shows
a reduction in these Stocks since the April schedule of
812,215,700, and a further lessening of the yearly interest
charge thereon of 8732,942. This leaves the total yearly
Interest charge in Geld 8111,982,034. In the same month
the Treasury paid and cancelled 82,470,000 of the Three per
Cent. Currency Debt, reducing, the whole of this debt bear
ing interest to 851,023,000, and the yearly interest charge
thereon to 81,537,470.
The proposed further reduction of the annual interest
charge upon the Public Debt by refunding is as follows;
By exchange of $500,000,000 United States six
per cents for new five per cents of 1861 $5,000,000
By oxchange .of $300,000,000 United States six
per cents for four and a half per cents of 1866, 4,600,000
By exchange of 700,000,000 United States six
per cents for four per cents of 1901 14,000,000
Total saving per annum by refunding $23,500,000
The large and rapid accumnfetion in the Jast few years
of private capital now retired from active business, and of
the cash Savings and Life Insurance premiums deposited
with or intrusted to the provides! institutions of the coun
try—all seeking the most undoubted security, pledged to be
kept free of all taxes, under national or local authority, and
content, provided this object be assured, with moderate
rates of interest—will, no douht, ultimately absorb so much
of these New Stooks as may not be taken in voluntary con
version of United States 5-20 e, or marketed abroad.

Rev. Sir. Henry.
Last Fall, as a number of the members of the
Cincinnati Preachers’ Meeting well remember,
Rev. Mr. Henry, of the Wesleyan Church, Ire
land, was present, and spoke at one of the meet
ings. He came to America with letters of
recommendation from Rev. Robinson Scott and
Rev. Wm. Arthur. His health being infirm, he
hoped that a residence in the Central or South
western belt of our country would prove bene
ficial. Proceeding with his wife to Tennessee,
he was present at the session of the Tennessee
Conference, and was admitted to that body, and
appointed by Bishop Simpson to the second
charge, McMiiinville. For a while his health
seemed better, but after a time pulmonary in
dications of an unmistakable character pointed
to his early death. He was better and worse
during the Winter and early Spring, but &4out
the middle of April 'he fell asleep in Jesus. His
remains were brought to Cincinnati for inter
ment, Rev. Dr. J. F. Wright and Rev. C. W.
Ketcham attending the funeral ceremonies,
from the residence of brother Wm. Betty. The
remains were interred by the side of those
of his father-in-law, Rev. Robert Wallace, in
the Wesleyan Cemetery. Cincinnati. It will be
remembered that Mr. Wallace was co-delegate
with Dr. Scott, from Ireland, and that be died
in our city, of cholera, in 1866, during the ses
sion of the Cincinnati Conference, at Ripley.
Mrs. Henry, whose father and .husband have
thus strangely found a grave in a land of
strangers, is still at McMinnville, a stranger in
a strange laud, with two children in her care,
the youngest being but two or three weeks old.

During a recent trial or comparison of ordinary Bak
ing Powders in New York, with Dooley’s Yeast Pow
der. it was shown conclusively that better results were
attained from one hall to two thirds the quantity of the
latter, than with any other in market. The secret of the
success lies in the care with which Dooley’s Yeast
Powder is prepared, and its entire freedom from sub
stances that are injurious to the system.

tbe Methodist Episcopal Church in 1815, was

Bishop Soule, February 27,1835, ordained El
der by Bishop Morris, February 14,1838, moved
to Bradley county, East Tennessee,lß39, where,
after 55 years of faithful labor in the Christian
ministry, he quietly fell asleep in Jesus, April
2,1871, in the 87th year of his age, like a ripe
shock ready to be gathered to the garner in the
sky, saying as he went down near the waters of
Jbrdan, “happy soul, thy days are ended.”
Here we will say “ servant of God, well done,
rest from thy loved employ, the battle fought,
the victory won, enter thy Master's joy.”—
Father Chilcutt left behind his aged companion,
with a large family and many loved friends to
mourn their loss, but they sorrow not as those
that have no hope, for their loss is his eternal
gain. While we sympathize with the family
and friends of the deceased, the Church will no
doubt feel its great loss, and drop a silent tear.

JOHN HOEEAND’S
SUPERIOR GOLD PENS.
(Successor to George W. Sheppard, Cincinnati, O.)
TO be good and durable, a O O L I ) I* E N"
.should be made of 16 carat gold, as no writing fluid
will corrode gold of this fineness; be sufficiently heavy
to bo strong and possess good elasticity. The points
should boos the best quality of Tridosmium, (commonly
called diamonds.) firmly attached to the gold and well
finished. It is almost impossible to wear out such a point on
paper.
Those who wish to enjoy the advantages of GEN
UINE GOLD PENS should only pur
chase those that possess the above qualities, and be
careful in selecting a pen adapted to the hand, as they
necessarily vary in point and spring.
If fairly used, they are warranted for one year from
the time of sale.
