WRrrING.- Consider the materials
of writing. The first was stone
Shells, plates of various materials,
ivory, bark, and leaves Of trees, have
been some of the early substitutes
for paper. Hesiod's works were
written on leaden tables. Montfaueon;
speaks of a book with eight leaden
leaves. The laws of the Cretans
were on bronze tables. The Romans
put their public records upon brass.
Copper plates have been dug up near
Bengal, dated a century before the
birth OF Christ, Sometimes songs
have been found on strips OF leather.
The Arabs took the shoulder bones
of sheep, aud carved remarkable
events upou them, and then hung
them up in their cabinets. In IL
brary Of Europe, there is a letter
upon piece OF bark about two yards
long. In others are copies OF the
Bible written upon palm leaves. The
.
skins of animals and serpents We're
also used. Wax was also used in
different forms, sometimes of itself
and sometimes on wooden tablets.
The Egyptian papyrus superseded
all former materials. This grew in.
large quantities on the banks Of the
Nile. After the eighth century, the
papyrus was superseded by parch-
ment. Paper from cotton was made
as early as the ninth century, from
linen III the thirteenth. The first
paper-mill in England was erected
by German in 1888. Thomas
Watkins brought the art Of paper
making to perfection in IT'S. The
pens used in the translation OF the
Bible were iron styles. The Romans
used ivory for writing. 1t was not
before the seventh century that quilts
were used. We possess no ink in
beauty and color equal to that used
by the ancients. The manuscripts
written from the fifth to the twelfth
century are in better state Of
preservation than those from the
fifteenth to the seventeenth century.

Redemption of HIuttlated Bank Notes.
The following important circular has
been issued by the Treasury Department ::
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Ofice Of the Comptroller Of Currency,
Washington. ID. G..

The following suggestions are offered
relative to the redemption of mutilated
circulating notes of national banks, and
their return to this office:
First-1'he notes are to be redeemed by
the banks by which they are respectively
issued, and should not be returned to this
office in sums less than five hundred dol
lars, or in even multiples of that amount.
Sccond~-Mutilated notes which have
been t0ru or defaccd will he received, when
presented by the bank that issued them,
provided all the fragments are returned
aud the engraving or signatures are not
SO far obliterated that it cannot be deter
mined by what bank the notes were issued.
Third--Frngments should be redeemed
by banks in full when accompanied by an
affidavit stating the case and manner OF
mutifation, and that the missing part Of
the note is totally destroyed, The good
character Of the ailiant should also be fully
vouched for by the officer before whom the
affidavit is taken.
These affidavitS must be forwarded to
this Office, with the fragments to which
they relate, in order that the banks pre-
senting such parts Of notes may obtain
credit for the same.
Exceptional eases may occur in which
10 affidavit can be obtained, aud where no
reasonable doubts can exist in regard to
the entire destruction or irreparable dam.
age to missing portions of notes---as by
fire, acids, etc.-where evidence of identity
is ample by the signature of one or both
officers, or title or locality of the bank,
aud the denomination of the note-where
the integrity OF the bill-hoider is unexcep-
.;pnable, and where no question could
arise in regard to fraudulent or improper
use Of missing parts; in such instances
iudicious discrimination must necessarily
be exercised by the officers of the banks.
1t is, however, advised that such notes
be received at their full face value, per-
feet note given therefor, q record being
preserved of the fact, to be sent to this Of
fee with the mutilated note when returned
for redemption by the bank, in which case
full credit will be ALLOWED in this depart
ment.
Fourth-When no satisfaction cen he
obtained in regard to the missing parts,
and possibility exists that any improper
use can be made Of the same, it is recon-
mended that proportionate value only be
allowed, estimating this by comparison of
the proportion returned to the missing
parts A record should be kept of the
amount allowed in sill such instances, and
q voucher of the same rendered to this of
fee, when the mutilated note or notes shall
be returned for redemption.

AN ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF MATRl-
MoNY.-We never remember to have
seen the field canvassed from the
point of view here chosen We
present it for the sage consideration
Of our fair readers :
No one will contend tAat there
are no crimes committed by mar
ried men, Facts would look snch
an assertion out Of countcnancc.-
But it may be said with truth, that
there are very few crimes commit
ted by married men compared with
the,pumber committed by those who
are unmarried. Whatever faults
Voltaire, may have had, he certainly
showed himself man of sense
when he said :: 1"Tbc more married
men you have the fewer crimes there
will be- Marriage renders a man
more virtuous and more wise. y
: An unmarried man is but half of a
perfect being, and it requires the
other half to make things right !;
and it cannot be expected that in
this imperfect state he can keep
the straight path Of rectitude any
more than a boat with one oar, or "a
bird with one wing can keep a
straight course. In nine causes out
Of ten, where married men become
drunkards, or where they commit
crimes against the peace Of the
community, the foundation of these
acts was laid while in a single
state, or where the wife is, as some
times the case, an unsuitable match.
Marriage changes the whole cur
rent of u mans feelings, and gives
him d centre for bis thoughts, his
affections and his acts. Here 10 a

PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND SENATOR
SUsNER.-A contemporary gives the
following report of a conversation
which recently took place between
the President and Senator Sum-
ner, II
Good evening, Mr.. President"
said Senator Sumner, last week,
upon entering the Presidents room
in the White House.
"Good evening, Mr. Senator" re.
piled the President. Please be
seated for moment, until | finish
a letter to an old friend"
The letter being finished, the
President turned to Mr., Sumner,
when the latter said
''Mr. President, called upon
you for the purpose OF expressing
to you the views of our people on
the subject OF reconstruction"
We'll, sir" replied the Prcsi-
dent.
Mr.. Sumner, commenced by say
ing - "Sir, your North CaroHlla
Proclamation does not meet the APP
probation of our people, and they
will not submit to have the great
results of the war thus thrown
away"
"What people are you represent
ing, STRIP asked the President.
"The whole Northern people"
said Mr.. Sumner.
81. 81 appreheud you will find, you
but represent small portion Of the
Northern people" replied Mr.. John
son.
:''Then,7 said Mr.. Sumner, I'VE
must take your North Carolina pro
clamation as an Indication of your
policy, are we?'
Eyes, sir" replied the President.
Then, sir" said Sumner, you
do not intend to entranchise the
black man ~
al have nothing to do with the
subject that exclusively belongs
to the States. You certainly would
think it an usurpation on my part
if attempted to interfere in fixing
the qualifications Of electors in
Massachusetts"
But" replied Sumner, "Massa.
chusetts has always been q loyal
State"
THAT may be-" replied the Presi-
dent, "but the loyal men Of the
South have made untold sacrifices
for their Union sentiments, while
Massachusetts has made hundreds
of millions ont of her loyalty, and it
would be poor return for Southern
adherence to the Government, if the
latter should, in violation OF the
Constitution, thrust upon them
local laws in opposition to their
wishes"
At this reply of the President,
Mr.. Sumner, became impatient and
irritable, and reioined by saying,
II am sorry to see You evincing so
little sympathy with that element
that placed you in power"
At this, the color flashed to the
Presidents face, and he added, en-
phatically; "You and might as
well understand each other now as
any other time. You are aware sir,
] have no respect for a secessionist;
but, as much as | despise them, |
still have greater detestation and
contempt for fanatic"
"Good evening" said Sumner,
and left in huff. ~
