s'COming of the LOrd''-Adventists.
; The Chicago Tribune contains a
detailed account of the meeting of
Adventists, in that city, on Monday
night, April 18th: The scene was a
remarkable and, in some respects,
touching one. About one hundred
and fifty of the Adventists assembled
in their hall, including both sexes
and some children. The band was
led by Elder Thurman, an old man of
profound convictions, pure life, and
long devotion to the faith. In the
hall substantial supper was spread,
and 1t was confidently believed by
those present that Christ would ap-
pear in person, partake of the supper
with them, and point the way to glory.
Early In the evening thunderstorm
of some violence came up, with sharp
lightning. The JOY of the Adventists
at this event was unspeakablc, for
they interpreted it as a sure sign of
the coming OF the Lord. During the
prevalence of the storm the excite
ment ran very high. The evening
wore on. and at 9 o'clock all sat down
to supper. There was shade of sad
ness on their faces at the non-arrival
OF the expected guest, but hope was
not yet lost. 10 and IL O'Clock came
The stol m was over, the lightning had
ceased and the stars shone out serene
ly. Fatigue and hope deferred began
to tell on the deluded band, but still
they kept up heart. About midnight,
when some were asleep and others
were fast losing hope. Elder Thurman
rose, and, with tears streaming down
his face, confessed the failure of his
predictions He declared that for
thirty-two years he had devoted him
self to studying the prophecies, and
they all, without exception, pointed
to the 10Th of April as the time of the
second coming of Christ: He had
proven his calculations over and over,
and there could be no mistake-and
yet there was some mistake. He
could not fathom the mystery nor ex-
plain the failure He only knew he
had done his duty and that all his
life-work had come to nothing. He
declared the burden of his disappoint-
ment to be greater than he could bear,
and asked for speedy release from
his sorrows. During his remarks
there was sobbing and subduea ex-
citement Many Of those present had
given away their furnitureand broken
up their lodgings, expecting to- have
no further use for them Now they
were houseless and homeless in the
world. their hopes shattered and their
faith destroyed. In reply to ques-
ton what his future plans were, Elder
Thurman said he had none, his course
was run. Being asked if he should
continue tie publication of his paper
he replied, mournfully, There is
nothing to publish it for; my work is
done. / do not know what | shall do,
where l shall go. 1t was the har-
mony of those dates that convinced
me that Jesus was the Christ. and
now l do not know what to believe
As the night wore on the assemblage
broke up and the unhappy fanatics
went their several ways. filter subjects
for sympathy than ridicule, more de-
serving of respect than contumely.

National Banks.

The total annual taxation paid by
the national bankA is not less than 4
per cent. ON the aggregate of their
capital and surplus. There are some
features of the national banking sys.
tenn which show it to be by far the
best system of finance ever adopted in
this or, we might say, any other coun-
try. In the first place, notwithstand-
ing some failures, the system of goy-
ernment supervision of the manage
ment of the banks inspires confidence
in depositors, and for that reason the
deposits in the national banks are
larger, by probably 500, 900, than
they would be in an equal number of
private or State banks with an equal
amount of capital. This increase of
deposits is practically an increase of
that much money offered in the mar
ket; and we believe that if the nation
al banking system were abolished. the
loss of confidence in the stability of
banking would cause permanent de-
crease of deposits sufficient to make a
permanent advance in the rates of in
terest for money We do not wish to
be understood as claiming that the
national banking system is perfect.
There are many features Of it which
need amending; but we believe its
general principles are superior to
thvse Of any other banking system
now in operation in the whole world

letter of whose name is All Kee.
Frequently he would, on solicitation,
advise Mr.. All Kee how to invest his
surplus change, which advice would
generally prove satisfactory. All kee
also learned point" from the femi-
nine sex, and utilized the keyhole in
listening to Senator Sharon's private
conversation with his brokers. De-
tecting this, Sharon urged his broker
to purchase an unlimited quantity of
a certain stock. All Kee left his key
hole and Immediately brought his
hidden wealth to bear, borrowed all
he could, and advised his Celestial
friends to do the same. A few days
later KEGS countenance indicated

THE MINERAL WEALTH OF NEVADA
is not alone confined to silver and
gold. 1t also abounds in coal, lead,
borax, sulphur, soda, copper, antimo-
ny, and iron and salt mines OF great
productiveness, the latter of which
cannot be worked profitably owing to
lack of transportation to market.
A few garnets and other precious
stones have been found in the silver
mines, but these articles are as rare
as they are precious.
The development of the mines of
this State is just begun, and their
productiveness of the past few months
may be reasonably taken as an index
for their future wealth.

In printing, steel plates are used,
on which two hundred stamps are en-
graved. Two men are kept hard at
work covering them with the colored
inks and passing them to a man and
girl, who are equally busy at printing
them with large rolling hand presses.
Three of these little squads are en-
ployed all the time, although ten
presses can be put into use in case of
necessity. After the small sheets of
paper upon which the two hundred
stamps are engraved have dried
enough, they are sent into another
room and gummed. The gum used
for this purpose is a peculiar compo-
sition, made of the powder of dried
potatoes and other vegetables, mixed
with water, which is better than any
other material, for instance, gum
arabic, which cracks the paper badly
The paper is also of peculiar tex
ture, somewhat similar to that used
for bank notes After having been
again dried, this time on little racks,
which are famed by steam power, for
about an hour, they are put in be-
tween sheets of paste board and press
ed In hydraulic presses, capable of
applying weight of two thousand
tons The next thing is to cut the
sheet in half; each sheet, of course,
when cut, contains hundred stamps.
This is done by girl with large
pair of shears, cutting by hand being
preferred to that of machinery, which
method would destroy too many
stamps. They are then passed to two
other squads, who, in as many opera
tions. rerforate the sheets between
tie stamps. Next they are pressed
once more, and then packed and la
beled, and slowed away in another
room, preparatory to being put in
mail bags for dispatching to fulfill
orders. If a single stamp is torn, or
in any way mutilated. the whole sheet
of one hundred is burned. About
five hundred thousand are burned
every week from this cause For the
past twenty years not "a single sheet
mas been lost. such care has been ta-
ken in counting them. During the
progress of manufacturing, the sheets
are counted eleven times

The President of the Berlin society
for promoting the burning of corpses
has applied to the Ministry of State
for the suspension or the removal of
the police order by which cremation
is forbidden. The Ministers of the
Interior and Public Worship have
replied that the prayed for permission
would be illegal, and it is not in their
power to grant. For the present there
is no intention to apply to the Legis-
lature for an alteration of the law in
this matter.
