BANK NOTE PAPER.-A Bank of Eng.
land note has some peculiar and inter,
esting characteristics of manufacture
the paper being distinguished by its col.
or, which is a peculiar white, such as is
neither sold in the shops nor used for
any other purpose; by its thinness and
transparency, qualities which prevent
any of the printed part of the note icing
washed out by turpentine, or removed
by the knife uuless a hole is made in
the place thus practiced on; by its
characteristic feel, a peculiar crispness
and toughness, by which those accus-
toned to handle it distinguish the true
notes instantly the wire or water mark
which is produced on the paper when in
the state of pulp, and which is easily
distinguished from mark stamped on
after the paper is completed the three
"deckle" edges-the mold contains two
notes placed lengthwise, which are sep
arated by a knife at future stage of
the process, this deckle or wooden frame
of the paper mould producing the pecu-
liar effect seen on the edges of uncut
paper, and this edging being caused
when the paper is in state of pulp,
precludes any successful imitation after
the paper is made; also by the strength
of the paper, which is made from new
linen and cotton. In its "water leaf"
or unsized condition, a bank note will
support thirty six pounds; and wnen
one grain of size has been diffused thro'
it, it will lift half hundred weight.

SALT.-An improvement In the man.
ufacture Of rock and sea salt has been
patented in England, which consists in
fusing the raw salt, and keeping it for
some time in state Of tranquil fusion,
decanting it into hot molds. or letting it
cool clowly In this manner all the im-
purities are separated from the mass in
fusion. and are eliminated by crystaliz-
alton by the dry process, which cores
ponds with crystalization by the wet

A BRILLIANT IDEA.-The Mariposa

freeze-out. fifteen-two. &c. Their equip
ment will be slung. shot, a Derringer
and pack of cards." A whole legion
might be made up in this city alone !;
and right efficient they might prove
themselves, to; for if Utah could not
be taken in the legitimate process of
war, give them fair chance and they
would steal the whole Territory. They
would astonish the Saints with the ap-
palling anthem Of:

Josiah, you are now about to go out
into the wide world, where it's a good
deal wider than It's here, and no fence
round it, neither. Take them bills :;
and, mind ye, keep yer finger onto 'em
tight, for the winds mighty apt to blow
'em where you'll never see 'em agin
You hain't got hard finish edication,
but | tell We, Josiah, common-school
larnin is jist as good as the hard-fuish,
if you only know how to handle it.
Don't swear-don't throw the dips
don't play keards-Gon't hang about
tarvurhs-but yer may chaw terbarker
some, cause yer dad does, Don't cheat
any body what can't afford to stand it !;
them as can, you may put the hard-fn-
ish onto as thick as yer like. Keep a
stiff upper lip, Josiah, and don't let
nobody impose on ye. If they do. just
you bring out them hard-fnish licks
what yer old dad has guv yer for her

| Origin OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND
So late as the time of the Restoration
every merchant kept strong box in his
own house, and when an acceptance was
presented to him, told down the crowns
and caroluses on his own counter, Gen
tlemen looked up their gold in their
country houses, or travelled with it in
their coaches. Those were the haleyon
days of thieves. when burglar would
often be able, after single nights work,
to retire with fortune and highway
robbery was lucrative profession,
whose adopts were styled "Gentlemen
of the Road"
BY the end of Charles II's reign. it
was discovered that it was both safer
and more convenient to have agents to
keep the cash of commercial houses.
This new branch Of business fell natu-
rally into the hands of the goldsmith,
who were accustomed to traffic largely
in the precious metals, and who had
vaults where masses of bullion could lie
secure from fire and robbers. 1t was at
the shops of the goldsmiths of Lombard
street that all the payments in coin were
made. Other traders gave and received
nothing but paper.
Of course the goldsmiths, from being
the treasurers soon became the masters
of the city. Goldsmiths were the money
lenders. Goldsmiths furnished the funds
for all new enterprises. A goldsmith's
note passed current OF. Change for cash.
The nobility had to court the favor of
the goldsmiths, and royalty itself, when
government loan was needed, private
ly summoned some of the wealthy gold
smiths to its audience chamber.
The same reason which led the COM
munity to gather their cash into fifty
vaults instead of leaving it scattered
among thousand, soon led them to see
that it would be still better to keep it in
one instead of fifty. In William IIi's
time the matter was freely discussed,
and in 1894 it took the definite shape Of
a plan for National Bank.
Of Course so great change was not
effected without bitter opposition. A
large class denounced the Bank of
England" with much violence and vim
dictiveness. Tories declared that banks
were republican institutions, and predic.
ted the ruin of the monarchy. Wings
declared it would be an instrument of
royal tyranny worse than the Star
Chamber, and predicted the ruin of Eng
lish liberty. The nobility suspected it
to be scheme to elevate traders above
the peerage, and the poor were made to
believe it a new device to grind them to
the dust. Nevertheless the bank was
established, and gained popular favor,
less hy argements than by its manifest
convenience and utility. 1t lived, and
grew, aud prospeled, and, for an hund.
red and fifty years, the wealth of Eug-
land has lived, and grown, and prosper
ed with j..
