We invite public attention to tho amendment or section offered by Mr. Wright, concerning the temporary investment of any surplus funds in the Treasury, all the intentlBd appropriations shall have passed. It ably follows up the suggestion on this subject in the last annual report of the Seer tary of the Treasury.

It will, if adopted, tend to produce these results: 1. A1 the money in the Treasury not wanted to meet appropriations, and to render the operation of the Department easy and prompt, will thus be put on interest at the market rate. 2. All question about the large sums in the deposit banks, and its unequal distribution, and the small or large interest they should pay, ill thus be avoided, as the surplus ill be taken out of those banks, and put on interest at Uie market rate. 3.

All complaint as to its not being laid out or distributed equally, or being employed for political objects, will then have not even "the baseless fabric of a vision" to rest on. 4. In this way the people will realize an income froui all the surplus, till the present finuicial HERRINGS. liARKF.LSNnl her knees, began to pray in a loud voice. 1 he-nuns, dreadfully alarmed, ran to wake the abbess, who at first would not believe what they told her, but at last was persuaded to go to the church, where she saw the nun, who was pray, ing, riso from her plane before the altar, and re-turn to her coffin, where she lay down and closed her eyes.
