S We visited South Bend for :he first
time last week. 1t is beautiful place;
nature having lavishcd her favors upon
it; rendering it all that the heart of man
could desire in search of spot upon which
to build himself pleasant and happy
home The public buildings, Court house
and Hotel. especially, are ornaments of the
city, and cleditable to the public spirit of
its citizens. At the St. Joseph Hotel,
we found most delightful retreat, and the
arrangements of the House perfect. Mr.
B0Trs, the proprietor, enjoys a high repu-
tation among the travelling public, and is
eminently worthy of all the enconiums

burg (Pa.) Standard of late date has the
following extraordinary statement:
For some days past there has been sin
gular story afloat in this community, whe-
tner true or not, we are not prepared to say,
but the information comes from such rela
BILE source that we are free to say there must
be something in il. 1t appears that one day
last week man in the neighborhood of
Mount Union, Huntingdon County, while
cleaning grain, suddenly discovered that the
weevi Fad destroyed the greater part of it.
This so exasperated him that he blasphemed
the Savior in such wilful, wicked, and ma
icous manner that it viii not bear putting in
print. He left the barn and seated himself
in chair, where he had renamed but few
minutes before he turned to his wife, and
asked her what she said. She replied that
she had not spoken. II thought" said he,
"that heard somebody say must sit here
till the judgment day." 1t is now alleged
that he is still sitting in his ehair, unable to
rise or speak, with his eyes rolling, and tc-
tally incapable Of moving his body. HIS IA

Council Of that city. The ceremony took
place at public meeting held in the Queen
street Hall. The Lord Provost presented

and he, in return, made pleasant speech
about Africa, its people, products, soil, eli
mate, and prospects. Some passages may
aIuuse our readers

attempt to ,eli what their numbers may be,
they put to me the question, \ they as
many Gs a cloud Of locuSts?' IfIsy yes,
they ask fur her, whether, if each Of the
white people were to take a locust into his
hand they would finish the whole cloud -
OF course | say | think they would. Then
they will add, Your queen mus. be very
rich indeed, when she has so many people
% yes | reply. she is exceedingly rich :
and am asked, has she many cowss'-a
question really could never answer; and
then when mention the fact that | have
never seen the queen. they say, What sort
of people must you be, never to have seen

SHOW the same kind of ignorance respecting
to that country to hunt; but as the Africans
have no idea of sport, they wonder TO See
gentlemen working SO hard for a little dry
antelope meat, and they put the question to
me, Have your friends no meat at home 3
Not W sh;ng my friends to appear in such a
light, say, These gentlemen could have

pie think about Africa, they imagine that all
the Africans are like the specimens we have
in front of the tobacconists' shops. This is
not the case at all That is the real negro
type that is only to be found in the lowest
part of the popuiption: The people gener-
ally are not altogether black. Many ofthem
are of Olive color, or of the color of coffee
and milk, and usually the higher grades Of
society are of this liz hter color. | imagine
that the type we see on the eminent Egypt
ian monuments is more near the type of the
central population than the tobacco-shop
variety When | was lately with the
Bakwain tribe, found that when any En-
elish gentleman came to that part Of the
country, hs always paid his way hooorably;
and such was the confidence this honesty
inspired, that the native would 90 with them
five hundred miles, all the way to Graham's
TJwn, simply on the promise ofa small pay
ment when there. They would also go with
them to the porth, and hunt with them for
months together, serving them faithfully all
the time, and trusting to their honor as En-
glishmen. They would not have trusted
Boer, or any other tribe but the English
could appeal to the English gentlemen who
have visited that country, that when they
wanted two guides their only difficulty was
lest four should 60 with them"

BANK OF ENGLAND NorEs.--A bank Of
England note has some peculiar and inter-
esting characteristics Of manufacture, the
paper being distinguished by its color,
which is a peculiar white, such as is neither
sold in shops nor used for any other pur-
pose; by its thinness and transparency,
qualities which prevent any of the printed
part of the note being washed out by tur-
pentine or removed by the knife, unless
hole is made in the place practiced on; by
it's characteristic feel, peculiar crispness
and toughness by which those accustomed
to handle it distinguish the true notes in
stantly; the wire or water mark, which is
produced on the paper when in a state Of
pulp. and which is easily distinguished from
a mark stamped on after the paper is com
pleted; the three "deckle;' edges-the
mould contains two notes placed lengthwise
which are separated by knife at future
stage of the process-this deckle or wooden
frame Of the paper mould producing the.
peculiar effect seen on edges OF uncut paper,
and this edgng. being caused when the pa
per is in state Of pulp. precludes any Sue
cessful imitation after the paper is made !;
also. by the strength of the paper, which is
made from new linnen and cotton. In its
water leaf or unsized condition bank note
will support thirty-six pounds; and when
one grain of size has been diffused through
it. it will lift half hundred weight. The
Bank of England never reissues a note. 1t
issues only new notes, and no note below G5
or t35.

now standing a monument OF patriotism and

to the list. But oldLucre declined respect
fully.
~ do not see," ssid he, "what benefit
this statue will he TO nc; and five hundred
dollars is a great del Of money to pay for

"Ben, tit to you !" replied the Colonel,
"why, Sir, it will benefit you more than
anybody else. Tn, statue can be seen from
every window of yhr house; it will be an
ornament, and al dignity to the whole

"Ah, Colonel, answered old Lucre. 81

he placed his had on his heart
