The following sounds very much like the
stories Of the Arabian Nights, or sinbsd the
Sailor, but as It comes from respectable
source, we give it for what it is worth:
It has been great mystery to English
bankers and to the directors of the Bank Of
England, how the bullion Of the Bank Of
Frsnce could be 30 greatly inc1eased within
the last three years, while the institution has
been constantly sending gold to Englaud, TO
Germany and to America. Not long since the
Bank Of France drew some Il. 600 ,O00f. in ail-
yer from the Bank Of EnEland, which 1t psid
for in, gold bars with the French mint stamp
on them. At It's last report it showed bal
ance Ct IL, ,000, ,e00t. in gold, wAlle the amount
one;year ago Was unier 50 00O, ,000f-nearly
oDe.third increase. It Is whispered that this
abundance in gold is the result OF = scientific
discovery, which tbs Emperor Napoleon has
secured the monopoly Of. Gold is at the prss-
ent moment manufactured at Paris in a secret
manner. The principal articles used are not
lead and arsenic, and though it is not known
low extensively the precious metal is pro
duced, yet eereral hundred weight Of the ma
ter1a1 are taken TO q certain place on the first
Of each month. Everything is conducted In
