power of 100 diameters, thus exhibiting

Under its powerful lens. the commonest

scales, respondent with prismatic coiors :;
a drop of vinegar seen through it becomes
an aquarium, filed with ecls and sea-ser-
pents; the dust from piece of old cheese
is bewildering collection of nondescript

Paper Money in China.

The following facts in the history of
paper money III China are gathered from
a late and valuable work, and may not be
without interest to curious, and instructive
TO the practical.
Paper money was known TO the Chi
nese at very remote period, it having
been in use ll9 years before the Christian
era. 1t circulated among them with a
conventional value in the form of pieces of
parchment, or square cartoons. In the
tenth century Of our era, the imperial
treasury emitted kind of bank bills in
exchange for goods left with it in deposit
Those bills bore the seal of the govern
ment, and were everywhere used in trade
The celebrated Marco Polo. in his
travels through the country about the
middle of the thirteenth century, found
paper money in circulation and used like
silver. 1t was used to pay the officers Of
the Government. and in trade and COM
merce to purchase all kinds OF goods
The people We're required TO accept it for
debts and purchases under all circum-
stances u'der the penalty Of death. 1t
circulated in the form of square coupons
made Of the bark of u tree after under
going some sort of preparation. There
were bills of different value bearing the
Signatures of many great mandarins and
the seal of~the. Enperor.1h he counter
feiting of these bills was punishable with
death They who had in their hands
bills which had been worn and tattered by
use, could exchange them for new bills by
paving five per cent. on the amount OF
the bills.
The use of paper money continued and
went increasing TO such a degree under
| the Mogul dynasty, that Ii resulted IN the
most serious evils to the country, all OF
! its resources being exhausted, at the same
/ time blind and tvrannical government
was endeavoring to give it artificial
( wealth.
Without pfofiting by the lessons which
! their predecessors had bequeathed them,
| the Emperors of the Ming dynasty con-
| tinued to emit paper money and endea-
/ vored to give value TO these by absolutely
prohibiting the use of gold and silver
| But towards the middle of the 18th cen.
tury these bills become so discredited thai
one for thousand "crtsh" brought only
tire 80 cash in copper money! The
{" cash" with the Chinese is small

SQUARE hole i'll the centre through which {
| string is passed to tie them together by
tens. fifties, and hundreds. A thousano
being about equal to or dollar, dollar II
paper money was worth only ha.t' cent
In IS45 the Government ordered all taxes
to be pain in paper money, and absolutei,
! forbade the use of hard money. But th'
conventional use of paper money soon de
clinetI. and in Il short time utterly disap
peared as it had become utterly worthless
In the summer of 1859, the write

made the first American visit TO Pekil

banks as art could produce in New York
but compared with the inevitable string

some were bought by individuals OF on

ADULrERATIoN OF FooD.-Very few
of us know what we eat and drink, al
though we may think we know what Is
poing into our stomachs. Men drink rye
whisky, composed of rotten corn, vltriol
and strychl,ine, and smack their lips over
it with gusto, and more delicate palates
are delighted with excellent wine, made
from diluted whisky, plentifully charged
with decoction of iogwood and burnt
sugar In the great cities. large amounts
of chalk, alum and plaster are daily swal-
lowed by the poorer classes, under the de-
lnsion that it is wheaton bread. A Lon
don professor. in lecturing recently on this
subject, handed round coffee, which was
pronounced excellent, and then told the
audience that they had been RECALLED with
a mixture of buIlock's blood, chickery,
sheep's liver dried, and old coffee grounds.
He gave them capital porter, too, made OF
spirits of wine. gum arabic and burnt
sugar.

A RELIC OF THE LAST CENTURY-In

digging "A cellar on a spot formerly occu-
pied by an old house, situated on farm
in Montgomery county, near PhGnixville.
and within three hundred yards of the
banks Of the river Schuylkill, they dis
covered, at the depth of two feet, what
proved TO be a heavy plated silver ink
stand, about two and a half inches square
having on the insides in the bottom, an
apartment screwed thereto, containing n
beautifully executed likeness OF gentle
man, set in fine gold medallion frame
Of whom the picture is a portrait or how
the same came to the locality where ii
was found, is not known. Judges who
have seen the ink-stand state that the
same must have been in the ground over
seventy years. The relic is in possession
of Judge Joseph Hunsicker.

1t Is not our present purpose to speak OF the

step By step into this unfortunate war, nor Of
their irrepressible and antagonistic nature, for,

efforts to avert it. In this respect they most
cheerfully leave their defence to impartial his

have the Democracy been convinced that

War, to Conquer the Idea,

This being the real state of the case the
policy of the war on our part should have been
wisely adapted to conquer the grand idea and

any of the local rights and institutions of the
individual States. 1t should have been waged,
If waged at all, against Southern belligeTent

overpowering State constitutions and State
governments by q strong military organization,
created by the individual citizeus, and not by
the States themselves All the opposing and
corrective measures required were for the con-
servative masses of the Nation to assume such
geographical and military positions in our
common country, as to render impossible the
success of the idea OF another powerful and in
dependent rival nationality within the terrific
rial domain of our Union. The idea being the
conception of grand empire, TO divide ard
dsmember its unity was the most certain
means to its inevitable extinction. For, no.
thing less than the whole of that stupendoDs
conception of colossal power and dominion,
could satisfy the American mind OF those en-
gagged in It's construction. They could never
content themselves to be circumscribed within
national boundaries not greater than TWEEN

demonstrated by arithmetical demonstration,
for, they have twice the population of the

reasonably made that not enough battles have

them. Nor can az! person il the world find

The rule Of the greatest Captain Of any age
was to strike for the centre of the enemys

them and to occupy them himself. The exact

time, and this has been owing. doubtless. to
the peculiar character OF the war: il being for
the purpose of catching all the rebels and
compelling them to take the oath Of allegiance

campaigns was, DO doubt, suggested by the
old fashioned Eolf-hunts 10 Illinois" where
