A New System for Destroying Bank Notes.

A new system was adopted ON JAN
uary for the destruction of the nation
al bank notes redeemed by the ContrOll-
er of the Currency. Heretofore it has
been the custom at Washington to de-
stroy the notes by fire, thus wasting a
large quantity of material from which
the national bank notes are made. Work.
men are now engaged at the national
capital in erecting machinery for the
purpose OF reducing the notes to pulp,
and by chemical process extracting
from the pulp all impurities that it may
have acquired in printing, circulation,
&c. In this manner the Uuited States
bonds and spoiled note sheets have been
treated for some time past, and large
amount of valuable material has thus
been saved. The destruction OF circu-
lating national bank notes by fire has
been so large that it was deemed advis-
able to Try the same system with them,
and it is expected to realize a large pro-
fit. The pulp thus saved will again be
made over into new bank notes, dc. The
Controller of the Currency has also
adopted u plan of numbering every note
of issue with the designation number Of
the specified national bank by which it
was issued, in orderto expedite the sort
ing oil such notes when redeemed by the
Controller. The clerks in the Controll.
er's office at Washington have no occa-
sion now to read the aame of the bank
from the note, but can sort them numri-
cally, without the possibility of chargeing
the notes Of one bank to the account OF
another. 1t Is expected that large
saving win be effected by this system,
as well as preventing errors through q
similarity OF appearance Of the notes.

German 0eean Once Dry Land.

The German Ocean, or North Sea, like
the English Channel, was once an inland
plain or valley, raised far above the sea-
level. The sea has but recently invaded
this depressed plain, submerged its for
ests, and superseded its river courses.
The buried trees of it's sunken forests are
still standing, rooted in their own vege-
table soil, although beneath the waves.
yCromer Forest, which dips into the wa
ters from the coast of Norfolk, is the
most famous of the submerged forests of
the German Ocean. The ancient wood
land has been traced at low tide for more
than forty miles. At-certain seasons,
and especially after. great storms, the
etumps Of oaks alder, yew and Scotch
lire are seen standing upright in the wa
ter. The condition of the wood and of
the fire comes-some of the latter evil
IDENTITY bitten by animals-tells us that
the sinking of the land here occurred at
no distant period in the physical history
of our country. The remains of land an
finals, too. as well of the forests they in
habited, are discovered in the bed OF the
German Ocean. In his "Physical Geo.
graphy of Norfolk" Mr.. Woodward tells
us that in less that fifteen years the fish
ermen of the village. Of Happisburgh
dredged up from their oyster beds as
many as two thousand teeth OF man.
AnoIA' Dohes anu tlisks VI ihhihuoInS
have also been fshed up from these wa
tery depths. 1t takes US back to the
lime when the European mainland, in
stead of terminating as it does to-day,
with the coasts of Norway and France,
stretched far westward in one broken
area, beyond the present coast of Ire
land. These were the fourishing days of
the forests of oak. chestnut, and alder
and yew, which are now submerged in
The German Ocean and the English Cham
nel.

Servants Balls in London.

The etiquette Of the affairs is thus laid
down by the London Queen: When it
has been settled to give a servants
dance, the lady of the house gives direc-
tions to the housekeeper to invite the
servants of the neighboring houses, and
permission is given to the servants to
invite their friends, subject, of course,
to the housekeeper's approval in case OF
under servants. The master and mis-
tress should appear for short time
with any guests who may be staying i'll
the house, and should open the ball. A
country dance is the best TO commence
with. The lady should open the ball
with the house steward or butler; the
gentleman with the housekeeper. After
the country dance there should be a
quadrille, in which they should also
join, and then waltz, after which the
servants infinitely prefer being left by
themselves. In this waltz the gentle
men of the party should join, but the. Ia
dies should remain spectators. Nore-
striction should be placed Oh the length
of time the ball is to last; servants
dances are few, ,and they will with pleas
ure dance uninterruptedly from nine or
ten O'clock until five or six in the morn
ing. Ladies should endeav0r to dis
pense with their maids services Ut bed
time, so as not to interrupt their amuse-
ment.

r. Adolphus Trollope tells a curious
story about Home, the medium, illustra->
ting the way in which intelligible COM
munications are made through mediums,
at least sometimes: AT one Of the Sc
ances, Mr.. Trollope had summoned the
spirit of his deceased brother. Many of
the answers were satisfactory, but he
could get nosreply to the question where
himself ana his brother had last met.
Home promised, however that the spirit
should report correctly at the next Sc
ance. Mr.. Trollope's wife doubted Home
and determined to test him. One day, in
conversation with him, she turned the
subject to diseases of the chest, and
said that she feared that Ostend had
been very bad for her late brother-in-law.
At the next seance at Powers house,
MIR. Trollope repeated his question and
the spirit promptly replied "Ostend."
Mr.. Trolfope said: esprit, you know
nothing about what you are talking of;
you are wrong" Mr. Home became iRs-
mediately very angry, and reproached
him venemently for Sinterrupting the
spirip'-ior not waiting for what he was
probably going to say. 1t was likely
enough, he added, that the spirit was
about to say that Ostend was not the
place. Mr.. Trollope said: "Pshawl In
that way he might go through the whole
Gazetteer." Mr.. Home then said that he
(Trollope) was not in tit mood to be Q
sitter at such meetings.

A Chinese Dinner Party.

The San Francisco papers record a
perfect marvel in the way of Christ
mas dinner party given by few
wealthy Chinese merchants to some OF
their American friends. Under the guild
anee of Dune Some and YIN Chang, the
guests found themselves in a perfect
maze of grandeur, rivaning the descrip-
tion OF the "Arabian Nights" in splen-
dor. There were gigantic lanterns,
gilded hangings, and embroidered chairs.
During dinner the guests were regaled
with the "Overture a la ConfuciuS," or
celestial Chords" with tin pans and
clashing of gongs. There were lacquered
tables, ivory chess and checkers for those
who cared to retire for a smoke. Over
the backs of the sofas and chairs and
around the side tables were covers OF
of elaborately embroidered scarlet
broadcloth in gold and silver. The
dinner table was a marvel OF taste and
beauty. No two plates or bowls were
alike. Beside chop-sticks, there were
the usual array OF spoons, knives, etc.;
and scattered over the table were ima-
ges OF dragons, lions, antelopes, devil
fish, in rice, -four and sugar. The native
wine was scented with altar of roses,
and it was SO strong that couple OF
thimblefuls were considered sufficient
for the evening. The bill of fare con-
sisted of thirty courses, comprising
stewed BIRDS nests, stewed shark fins,
duck legs, Lii Chez nuts, pigeons, water
melon seeds, fried fish fins, mushrooms,
and ducks web-foot. capon and ham and
almond paste. The pastry was wonder
full in design, resembling birds, beasts
and fishes in endless variety. After each
course the party lett the table, convers-
ed, lounged and smoked. Following the
Chinese dinner came European
spread, of twelve or thirteen courses.
After six hours hard dining, the party
