THE NAVAL SCHOOL.


The cadets assemble at bugle-call for
their first dress parade. All are provided
with rifles, and line is formed on the
lawn in front of the main building. The
splendid band plays a lively quick-step as
the line Is formed, and the companies are
led through the movements Of military
drill They aequit themselves admirably;
march, halt, shoulder arms, present and
fire with the steadiness of veteran corps
1t is very pretty sight, and an inspiriting
one, but the greenhorns soon learn that
there are harder duties, and that the life
before them in the Academy Is not too full
of play and prettiness. Unless the new
conner is in earnest, and has plenty Of
courage, am afraid he will wish himself
home again before he has served many
days. The course Of studies for each Of
the four classes occupies the greater part
Of the time. A loafer has 40 chance.
The rereiRe is sounded at six in the morn
ing. aud between then aud ten =. NJ
bed -time---the students have not much
more than two hours for themselves
Some Of the studies arc reereations, to be
! sure, but they are all compulsory, and We
suspect they are not the more enjoyed on
shat account. Gymnastics, sword prac-
tice, rowing, sailing, dancing and swim
ming are among them.
The midshipmen arc berthed two in a
room on the upper deck" Of the main
building. The rooms are small and neat,
furnished with two camp bedsteads, a
wardrobe, two chairs, small table and
washing utensils We were disappointed
J at the absence Of even the simplest decora-
tions in them, as We had expected to find
them looking like cosey cabins, with more
space aud comforts than could be had on
board ship. One room is exactly the
same as the other; without pictures on the
walls, or vases Of flowers on the table, or
shelves loaded with books Of adventure and
\ travel, or, in fact, any Of the natty little
odds and ends that boy usually amasses
In his own sanctum.
We asked why?
DR.. Philip Lansdale, the Surgeon-in-
Chief, told us in answer that it was accord
Ing to the rules of the Academy. Form
erly the midshipmen were allowed to de-
corate the rooms, and the wealthier ones
burned their quarters into miniature draw
ipg-rooms, filing them with expensive
furniture, pianos, richly -bound books, and
III the luxuries Of home. The rooms Of
4 (he poorer students looked SO shabby aud
dismal in comparison, that envy and un-
eharitableness cropped out in many a
heart, and to avoid this evil the seemingly
harsh law was.passcd that all rooms should
be furnished in the plainest and most uni
form fashion. Perhapsit would be better
II the law was not quits so strict, or If II
gave permission to hang the photographs
of mothers aud sisters on the walls, which
Il does not But they are martinets at
ihe Academy, and among their other les
sons the members are taught TO endure
discipline. H

Chinese Bank Bills.

Paper money Is well known to have been
10 use in China from very early period.
The native banks Of Fuhchaufa are quite
numerous and the bank bills in use are
noted for their unique appearance, and for
the difheulty with which they are counter
feited- The banks are not under govern
ment inspection or control. Any individ-
ual who has the capital, or any company
OF individuals who can furnish the neces-
sary funds, may establish bank and issue
bills, without getting charter, or applying
for any kind of permission from the gov
ernment. The outline of the bill, with
various devices to make eounterfeiting diff.
iloai', IS engraved neatly on solid block
OF brass in the case Of wealthy banks; poor
proprietors of banks use hard wood instead
Of brass. The right-hand margin is made
an inch or more wider than the lcft-hand
marginof the block Of brass Or wood. The
value OF the bill and the day Of issue arc
iiiied in with the pen, and ono or more
words to facilitate the detection Of coun
terfeit Various stamps, large OF small,
round or square or cblong, some Of which
are very curiously and elaborately engray-
ed, arc impressed on different parts Of the
bill, using red or blue ink, These add
very much to the neat and handsome up
poarance of the note, and are believed
usually 70 have some secret or private
mark, From these and other causes, the
notes are very difficult to initiate with pre-
cision and exactness By counterfsiters.
But perhaps the use which Is made Of
the wide right-hand margin furnishes the
greatest security against eounterfeiting,
On this margin there are stamped or
written various words, phrases, Or senten-
ces, before the bill is cut of or trimmed
and put into circulation. When every
thing is ready, these stamped Or written
sentences or phrases are cut through BY a
sharp knife, leaving the right-hand margin
OF the bill about the same width as tie
left-hand, though il presents a very differ
ent appearance. OF course, the edge Of
the right-hand margin Of the bin, and The

Andrew Johnson.
THE FLAG IN WHICH He WAS BURIED.

]
| Fro the Knoxville Press aud Herald
Major Slerl. Hanbright, though
opposed in political sentiment to Mr.
johnson, recognized in him a warm
personal friend aud feeling a regard
and high appreciation for the oit-ex
pressed sentiment n the dead states-
man, to he buried in the flag Of his
country telegraphed esterday mort
ing to the bereaved family that he
had flag 60X30 feet. which the fam
lily could have TO bury the ex-Presi>
dent in, if acceptable.
This Is the finest fig in East Ten
nessee, and is the individual property
Jl Major HamOrigi.t, and the oner
speaks well for the esteem in whi n
Mr.. Johnson was held by his polih
cal opponents.
The flag was captured from Gen.
Rosecrans by Gen. Bragg at Chica.
mauga, and taken to Richmond. SUBJ
sequently it was rctaken in the battle
before salisbury, North Carolina, by
Gen. Stoncmans command, with
which Mnjor Hambright was c1nnec.
ted as Provost Marshall, and fsl. to
the poss sson of Major Hambright.
1t has since been used on public oc "a
sion- at Knoxville, such as dccora>
ton days, etc.
Major HambrisEt received tele,
gram from the family Of Dir. johnson
accepting his kind offer, and the flag
has been forwarded with the request
from Major Hambright if that is toe
large TO answer the purpose, % pre-
sent it to Mrs. Stover, the daughter
of the ex>Presdent. with his regards;
in order that the R,g may lie as e.
mento in the johnson family OF the
high regard in which the ex Presi
dent was held, aud lasting emblem
of his failhfulness 10 the Union and
the constitution.

the rays, passing over the dense cold ar of
the verges, are refraCted many degrees
prOb0bly ten or ffteen-so that by one refrac-
ton and one or two reflections, the rays of
light would be thrown out over the verge to
that through which they entered, and because
these rays would converge upon the concave
surface Instead of diverging, they would
produce abundant light and heat throughout
the interior, so that this objection has not the
slightest force.
Many people believe IN Symmes' theory.
Others, scientific souls, do not place any faith
in il, and can produce figures and facts, too,
perhaps, to prove its impOssibillty. The
present Mr.. Symmes says that had Capt Hall
gone several degrees farther north he would
have been enabled to find such evidences as
would have proven his father theory beyond
doubt. Mr.. Symmes has collected lot of
interesting and wonderful facts concerning
his world to come, based upon the discover
les of Kane, Hail. and others, and proposes
to Use them in verlfication of his fathers
theory at his lecture. The theories of Column
bus and others were ridlculed when first
made known; so has been that of Symmes
May it not be verified as theirs were?
