When Nicholas Biddle retired from the
management of the United States Bank, we
considered that he was retreating from 4
sinking concern, and we therefore gave him
credit for a lage portion Of that instructive
sagacity which is said to belong to certain
animal. The bank, however, pursued its
course in open hostility to the Bank Of Eng.
land, Specializing in cotton, in canal, railway
and other shares, and drawing fresh resources
from England by means Of post notes, at 12
months date. This latter kind Of currency
was Tesorted to in 1887, when the interest Of
money here did not exceed 81 per cent; and
inasmuch as the post notes gave an interest
OF 8 per cent, theywere voraciously received
BY the money lenders Of London. Such an
investment was considered safe one, and
those who bad money commanding only low
interest, wee tempted 10 speculate upon d
higher rate. We thought and said al the
time that II was impossible that any traffic in

New iron should be very gradually heated

1t il good plan to put new earthenware
into cold water, and let it heat gradually un.
till it boilS-then cool again. Brown earthen

way. A handful Of rye or wheat bran thrown
in while it is boiling, will preserve the gla

or salt.
