In this way the holders of sueh bonds will receive payment for them, with interest to matur­ ity, before the bonds mature. The very large pay­ ments 6f called bonds to be male in July will fully' occupy the different offices of the department in that month, and preference in the order of liquidity tion will be given to the maturing bonds rather than to those bonds, past due, the holders ©f whicA* have failed to present them for payment. • 1 All United States bonds forwarded for redemp­ tion should be addressed to the "Loan Division, Secretary's Oiftce,n and all registered bonds *fabulol be assigned to "The Secretary of the Treasury for redemption." When parties desire checks in payment of regis­ tered bonds drawn to the order ot any one but the payee, they should assign them to the Secretary of the Treasury for the redemption account ot owner or owners, giving the name or names thereof. As it is impossible to notify directly the holders of such called bonds, the press of the country is respectfully requested to give publicity to this no­ tice, that there may be no delay in the payment of the bonds, and that an accumulation of money in the treasury may be avoided.

St Mootaiede, who fa said to have been a disciple of 3t. Peter, was discov­ ered to be a Christian by giving barial to Felicula, a maiden who had been martyred in the J)omiiian persecution.

It will be noticed that, while the life and death of Christ form the subject of many commemora tions, of the Holy Spirit there is bnt one, and of the Father none. All the remaining Sundays of the ecclesiastical year are, in the English Church, named after the Holy Trinityc while in the Church of Borne they are named after Pentecost. 5. St. Boniface, the apostle qf Ger­ many, was born in Devonshire about the year 680. He had a strong desire to spread abroad the knowledge of the gospel, and, having obtained the sanc­ tion of, Pope Gregory IE., he proceeded on a mission to Germany, and was made first Archbishop of Mayence in 745. He appears to have labored in Bavaria and on and about the Rhine, and in the year 745, having previously resigned his bishopric in order to carry on his mis­ sionary work without impediment, he suffered martyrdom at Utrecht, with fifty-two of his companions. 8. Corpus Christi is not in the Angli­ can calendar, but is a high day in that of Rome. It was instituted in honor of the doctrine of trans-substantiation of Pope Urban IT., in 1263, and confirmed by the Council of Yienne in 1311. . 11. St. Barnabas.--One of the most active of the disciples was Joses, sur- named Barnabas, the Son of Consola­ tion. He is said to have been one of those Who, having possessions, sold them and laid down the price at the apostle's feet. He for some time la­ bored with St. Paul; but after a while dispute arose, and he pursued his own course, choosing Cyprus for the field of his labors. He was stoned to death at Salamis, and was buried .with a copy of St. Matthew^s gospef on his breast. This was the longest - day, old style, hence the saying: i$lfd Barnaby bright, Barnaby bright,., • t s Longest day, and shortest night. T 17. St. Alban, the first English mar­ tyr; suffered in 303. He was converted to Christianity by Amphibalus, a priest of Caerleon, who, flying from persecu­ tion, was hospitably entertained by ;St. Alban, at Vend am. Being closely pur­ sued, he made his escape in his host's olothes. This being discovered, ex­ posed St. Alban to the fury bf the^ pagans; and, on refusing to sacrifice to their gods, he was first miserably tort­ ured, and then put to death on the spot where the town of St. Albans now stands. 24. St. John the Baptist.--Unlike most other saints in the calendar, whose deaths alone are commemorated, the Church celebrates the birthday of St. John, for the reason, says an old writer, that, even before his birth, he was can­ onized. He was the son of Zacharias, a priest, and Elizabeth, the cousin of Mary. Like Elijah, he was a recluse •ad a preacher of righteousness^ 20. St. Peter, brother of St. Andrew and son of Jonas, was a fisherman who left all to follow Christ. He appears to have been one of tne most zealous and attached of all the disciples, and, al­ though frequently rebuked, was one of the most honored by the friendship of his Master. He was married, and is said to have had a daughter, Petronilla. St. Paul, having founded a church at Home, of which Linus was the first Bishop, went there again, [accompanied by St. Peter, and, as a Roman citizen, suffered death by decapitation, A. D 65. St. Peter, regarded as a Jewish slave, was crucified, but, at his own request, with his head downward, not conceiving himself worthy of suffering in the same manner as his Master. f /'i v,,.^ A mmrMN«*wuL II is not often we have fe re- cord anything unamiable concerning dogs; and if what. I am going to relate appears to contradict our knowledge of dog nature, it must be noted that in this case the evil deed probably took its rise from intense af­ fection. A family whom I know had two dogs, one of them a big creature. This big dog and a small companion went out with their master, and when at some distance from home passed a pond situated a little distance from the road. Both dogs ran into the middle of the pond, and when there, in a spot whence it was impossible to reach him, the big dog seized hold of the little one, dragged him beneath the water, and held him there until the breath* had left*his body. During this scene his master tried in every way to force the creature to loose his hold of the ealled to him in his most authoritative voice, he threw his stick at the him, he hurled laige stones, but to no pur­ pose. It was not until the small dog floated dead on the surface of the wafcjg that the big dog wmtm back to land! Jealousy was the only explana­ tion that eould be given of the sot. The children had fondled the small dog and had taken notice less be­ fore of his big companion.--Exchange. • ' 8TH41TQM! ovcuBxxircm. There runs between Tampa, Fla., and Fort Meade, ten miles apart, what is known as the "Telegraph road." As Henry WellOck was riding on a mule, just east of Tampa and on the Telegraph road, lie felt a strange sensation, as though the world w<*re rolling from un­ der him.. The mule also observed that something wad wrong, and refused to budge. Wellock dismounted, and the ground trembled slightly under him, as though he were walking on the back of an elephant. He whipped the mule back toward Tampa, arousing some ne­ groes along the route. A number of Tampa people, headed by the Tampa Tribune man, rode to the spot, upon Wellock's representation. They found that the earth had punk somewhat. Toward evening the sink was deeper. The Tribtme says: "The road ran near about through the center of the sink, which is about forty feet in diam eter and as round as a circle. A pine tree, fully seventy feet tall, that stood by the road, went down, and its top is now a few feet below the surface of the ground. 'The sink has filled up to within six or seven feet of the surface of the surrounding ground with water, Otit o! which the tree top stands some three feet. There seems to have been a Sinking also of the surrounding ground for a distance of fiity yards all around the margin of the hole. The water which has appeared in the sink is of a deep azure color, and very clear. On account of the light rainfall since last autumn, the lakes are getting low, and it, & supposed that, the water support to the vault of some subterranean pas­ sage from the nearest lake being no longer present, the earth gave way and drppped into the subterranean vacuum. .1 • 1MB PLAQUE, Dr. !brasche, who was sent by the Austrian Government to investigate the plague in Russia, has communicated some interesting facts to the medical ptofessiott since his retSfn to Vienna. His investigations led him to believe that the dangerous source of the plague is the Mesopotamian valley, where it first appeared in 1867, and from whence it was spread by Schuts' caravans carry­ ing the dead bodies to the catacombs of Kerbelah and Yetsche. Spreading further on, it appeared in 1877 in Persia (Retsrh), and then in 1878 it passed to the Volga, and appeared in the village of Vetlanka. It was brought from As- ffcakhan by a woman, who fell the first victim on the 13th of October of last year. Up to the 5th of last February, when the ravages of the plague in Russia appear to have come to an end the actual deaths caused by it did not number more than 450, according to Dr. Drasche; and the limitation of its ravages was due to energetic measures adopted by the Russian Government. The doctor recommends the establish­ ment of a^i international sanitary com­ mission, whose duty it shall be to watch and present the spread of epidemics, especially in Turkey and Pepia.

One day Billy, that's my brother, he and Sammy Doppy was playW by* mud-hole, and Billy he saad: "Now, Sammy, les play we was a barn­ yard* you be the pig, and fie down and wofter, And I'll be a bull, and beiler like everything." So they got down on their hands and knees, and Sammy he went in the dirt and wollered, while Billy bellered like distant thunder. Bimeby Sammy he cum out muddy--you never see such a muddy little fellow--and he said: "Now you'll be the pig, and let me t a H e r .

Lying, stealing, and drunkenness were crimes of which she impressed me with the utmost horror and dfegaat. A poor b°y> engaged in carrying a gentleman's letter-bag in our neighborhood, stole a letter with money in it. I remember listening to the oenverpation of my father and mother on this subject; the grief and disgrace they painted in their description of the theft made a great impression on me. I also remember ^ell a circumstance which was of the greatest importance to me, and ever in­ spired me with gratitude to my mother. One day I entered our home eating * cake; my mother's quick eye fell upon it she observed, too, that I made some attempt at concealment--so she ques­ tioned me. " Who gave you that? " I answered, "The woman in the.street who sells cakes." She went into the corner of the room, where a rod waa kept, than took me by the hand and led me to the woman. * Did you give little boy a cake?" "No* "Where­ upon the rod was vigorously applied in the presence of the people in the street who were looking on. My distress waa great. At evening prayers my father, who had been informed of my disgrace, dwelt in a solemn manner on the sin I had committed--the great crime of theft and lying. That was my first theft, and my last. BYXON'S WEAKNESS. | Undoubtedly Byron's life waa ppis- 1 oned by his one great defect of lame- 1 ness. In external appearance he real- | ized that ideal standard with | which imagination adorns genius. | He was of middle height, five feet | eight and one-half inches; regular feat- | tures, without a stain or furrow on his | pallid skin; his shoulders broad, chest | open, body and limbs finely propor- | tioned. His small, highly-finished '| head and curly Hair had an airy and | graceful appearance, from the massive-1 ness and length of his throat; you saw' i his genius in his eyes and lips. In. f short, nature could do little more thaw Bhe had done for him, both in the out- | ward form and in the inward spirit she >1 had given to animate him. But all | these rare gifts, to his jaundiced imag- | ination, only served to make his one personal .defect (lameness) the more f apparent, as a flaw is magnified in a : 1 diamond when polished; and he brood- | ed over that blemish as sensitive minds- § will brood until they magnify • a wart :J into a wen. • 1 GAMIBALDX IN BOMB. .1 The poor, war-worn old hero wasf far- || ried past us into his waiting-room, and | I saw many an eye suffused with tear* and heard many a mournful ejaculation | when the door was closed. The eno- I % tion was thoroughly genuine and thor- ® oughly natural. To the vast majority of the men there he had been the hero of their youth, the incarnation of Ital­ ian independence, the captain who led them to victory, or to defeat which in­ volved victory. I was among the favored few admitted into the waiting- room. The litter was placed on the floor and surrounded eagerly by all who | had gained admission. The General's | face had gained a little color and ani­ mation since the first moment of his arrival. His eye was bright, his expres- | sion cheerful, and his voice--that | marvelous voice which has always | Informed one of his chief personal attrac- tions--'although feebler than usual, had I not lost its deep musical tone. He spoke cheerfully with one and another. --London Standard. W JHAKKET8. . IS & . 8 25 8 75 . I 1 1«X. , 42 10 . 35 <m NEW YORK. Bon*.... Rons COTTOX .
