The National Bank Note Company, which organized
here ebOrt time snce, has already secured a fair
share of the business of engraving. Ii is under the
management of some Of our most prominent bankers
and business men, and employs artists who are inferior
to none III the country Several banks of this State
have ordered plates from this Company, but yet Mr.
Cook Of the Bank Department has not given his
cent for the printing, although urgently requested TO
do by the banks in question, backed by petition
signed by the officers of every bank in NewYork aud
Brooklyn-thus giving complete monopoly Of the
Bank Note engraving business TO the American Co.
We can see no reason why the banks Of this State
should not be permitted to employ highly respecta-
bic Company this to eDgrave their plates, if they
choose to do so and respectfully suggest to Mr. Cook
that his action in this matter is not in with
the spirit Of institutions, the resolutions of 98.

THE cHExANGo CANAL EXTENSION.
?. IA. Editor Of IN. N y TyiSune.

n the E6itorof TAs ~ y TTibuKe
SIR: We clip from your paper Of the 3lst nit. the
following article:
Or, before the Legislature Of this sppro
plate soc 90 build the Chenango Canal 1t Democratic
Droposj0n urged BY Democrats at the present time for the
purpose adding the heavy financial burdens already weigh
ing the State and thus the Republicans in the
M estimation Whatever may be the merits Of the scheme its
execution ought not undertaken Let at least have
abe sLNgementof the Erie Canal all done and out OF the
before set about any more canal enterpnses'
1t is with deep regret that the Republicans Of Toga
County have witnessed its publication. We assure
yOu that the project of the completion extension of
tie Cbenango Canal the State line of Pennsylvania,
to connect with the North Branch Canal in that State,
is not party measure of the Democrats.
1t lie a measure In which the whole people are
engaged irrespective of party The work demanded
measure Of stated policy, and, instead of embar
rsseiDg the State, il would, when completed furnish
remuneratiDg We pray you at once to disa-
buse the minds of your readers of the into which
we trust you have inadvertently fallen.
The project of extending the Chenango Canal, we
repeat, is not party measure, but one in which all
parties living on near the Chenango Canal are en-
gagged and deeply interested, and one 10 which the
State should at once lend It's aid.

SABBATH ScHooLs IN RUssIA.-A large num-
Der of Sunday schools have been established
lately in Russia. We hear of the opening Of
such schools lately at Kazan and at Tver
The professors of the college and of the pub
lie school at Tver have taken charge of them
and benevolent merchant, Mr.. Bolovinskii
furnishes the necessary books and stationery
The other schools, so far as we learn, are in
fiourishing condition, especially those a
Odessa and kiey. In one school of one hun
dred and forty-six scholars there are thirty
two children of peasants, twenty-five of bour
geois, twenty-five children of soldiers, fiv'
only of the nobility and but one of the mer
chantss guild. Their ages are: ffty-six be
tween eight and fifteen; sixty-three between
fifteen and twenty; and twenty-nine owe
twenty. AS there is much waste time ii
these Sunday schools, the idea has beer
started in st. Petersburg of founding, in con
nection with them, a course of gymnastics
This will soon be carried into execution.

The Picture Mania in the French Capita

Tho Picture Mania in the French Capital.
The Paris correspondent of the Boston
Traveller, writes that the picture mania in
the French capital has reached an unprece-
dented hight. There is in Paris Just now
the Baron Leonce de Knyf, of Antwerp, a
gentleman quite celebrated throughout
Europe as being the owner of Ruben's "Ju-
piter and Antiope, one of the three paint
ings by that great master which bear his
signature. The subject and number Of
| figures are the same as in Correggios we'll
known picture which is in the Louvre; but
while Correggio's represents Antiope and
Cupid asleep, Rubens represents her awake,
| seated, and turning her head in the direction
whence noise seems TO come. Cupid is
seated on his quiver by her side, and Jupiter
| in the form of satyr, pushes aside the
| foliage, and gazes on her beauties with glow
| ing eyes. 1t is not only an admirable paint
| ing, but 1t has never been profaned by
restoration" The moment it was known
Baron de Rothschild went to see him, and
asked him 10 cell his Jupiter and Antiope,
offering $4,000 for il. Baron de Knyff tolt
him he had not come to Paris to sell hi
| pictures.
The next person who called was Lore
Hertford, who offered $40, 900 for the picture
The Baron made the same reply to him
Baron de ROthschild having heard that Lore
and offered $4,000. The Belgian repeated
that the picture was not for sale The Duk,
de Luynes next called; he offered $50, 900 70
the Jupiter and Antiope, and when he heart
the Baron's answer; (which was the sam
given to Baron de Rothschild and Lord Hert

"Duke, the picture is not for sale at an
price. am rich, and | do not want money
however some of my friends tell me an

pleasure of keeping the picture all my lifi

REGULARITY OF SOUNDS WHILE UNDER
WATER.--Any one who has been accustomed
to diving, must have discovered that when
the body is entirely submerged in the water,
the auditory organs are very sensitive TO
sounds which are conveyed through the
duced on land; and are only transmitted
through the upper atmosphere. For example,
although when a man is entirely submerged,
he is unable 20 hear the loudest shouts that
can be raised by persons on shore, his ears
are always painfully sensitive to any sound
that is produced in the water, and Is trans
mitted through its mediumship. A. stone

A Charleston paper, of Friday, observes
Lieut. Simons, OF the Upper Wards Police
and Detective Officer Sehouboe, on Friday,
arrested white woman, calling herself Mrs.
A. E.. Moore, hailing from Savannah, and
accompanied by mulatto, named William.
The conductor, on the arrival Of the train,
communicated to the policemen on duty
there his suspicious that there was something
wrong in the movements of this couple
They took up their quarters in Queen4street.
Capt. Bass hearing Of the circumstances
ordered the arrest of the parties, and tele-
graphed to Savannah for more information.
He was answered with a request to hold the
parties.
On Sunday evening Mr.. Rain arrived from
Savannah, and identified the boy William as
the property of his mother, Mrs. Rain.
Both the white woman and the slave will be
placed under his charge, and taken back to
Sayanneh this day. The marks on the bag
gage of the prisoners show they were either
on their way to Texas, or, as it was thought,
was an attempt to hoodswink the authorities
here. The woman gave several aliases, to
her, name, calling herself Ann E., Moore,
Sarah Moore, Mrs. Robert Moore, SCI When
| first arrested on suspicion she was sent to the
House of Correction, but upon the Chiefs
being satisfied she was an old criminal, he
had her transferred again to the cell in the
| Guard-house.

A DISHONEST LEGATEE DEFRAUDs HIMSELF
BY HIS IGNORANCE OF ART.-There is good
story told in Paris at the expense Of resi-
duary legatee, who was charged with the
distribution of sundry small gifts before he
could realize his residuum, Among others,
he was TO give one picture to near friend of
the deceased. There was some doubt with
whom the selection should lie, and the man
who was to receive the gift, from motives of
delicacy, waived all his right of choice, re-
questing the residuary legatee to make the
selection. Now, the deceased had left an ex-
cellent cabinet Of paintings, and out of this
the legatee was intending to make much
money; SO, the choice being left with him to
select the piece to be given away, he was
anxious to make the hole in his collection as
small as possible. Being an uneducated fel.
low, and having not the most feeble idea o.
the real value of any, work of art, he meas
ured the pictures with an engineers tape
and carefully selected the smallest which hs
| sent to the particular legatee. 1t happened
that this picture-it was by Metzu--was the
most valuable of the cabinet; it is cele'
brated painting, and would, if exposed Il
bids at auction, bring tomorrow five thou
sand dollars, When he learned this through
the heartfelt thanks of the fortunate recipi
emit his anger made him i'll, but his friend
rejoiced at his discontinue. 0. to Ir s.
