Bank Of England notes aro never re-
issued, but when paid in for gold are at

for seven years, so that inquiries rela.

Tho stock OF paid notes for seven years
numbers 94,000,0O0. and fills $4,000
boxes, which il placed sideby side would
reach three miles. Pile tho notes one
on the other. and tho pile would DO

God and myself only know what !

These words were uttered last week
by a man who has been n fugitive from
Justice and who was brought back from
California to his home in Massachusetts,
to undergo his trial for crime. He had
been 4 prominent citizen in large town,
had been 4 prominent member of the
Methodist church but becoming inyolv-

w;ls led on from m act of crime to an
other. Two or three months ago he dis
appeared. 1t was thought at the time
that he had fallen overheard from a
steamer on Long Island Sound and was
drowned. BuL all this time he has been
wandering hither and thither under as
stunned names, - fugitive and a vaga-
bond in the earth" At length he reach
c1 the Pacific coast and Just as he was
about to embark Tor Australia he was
confronted by the officer who had been
on his track, and lie is now brought
back 70 be tried by his neighbors and to
suffer the penalty of the law.
But he has been enduring a worse
punishment than being shut up within
the walls of a prison. He has been suf-
tering the tOrtures Of a guilty conscience
carrying this scorpion within him while
irving to elude the pursuit of the officers
OF the law, and now he back to
his home disgraccd, degraded, a wreck.
This case is only n of a thousand.
There are great numbers of criminals at

countries. or hiding-places in their own,
but who have already been overtaken

llai-a guilty conscience. Many of
them are suffering the torments of an
iMqUisition, and all are conscious of a
