Restoring Charred Currency.

The process of the restoration of
charred currency and other valuables
constitutes one of the most interesting
features of the service ID the Treasury
Department at Washington. A CORE
spondenJ describes the work as it is
carried on In one of the sunny rooms of
the treasury building, where four ladies
are kept constantly employed. 1t will
be remembered that an express car was
recently burned near Washington, The
government had SIS, 750, 000in it, and the

Wise Mems BIuuderS.

Some very amusing additional blum
ders have been found in the new re-
vised statutes. The chapter upon the
War Department has many serious er.
rors. The following laws have been
omitted from the revision: The law
which authorized the President to as
sign an acting chief to amilitary bureau;
the law which allowed whisky to fatigue
parties in certain cross-cases; the law
which made beans part of the army
ration; the law which forbids the draw
ing of government checks to bearer;
the law which fixed the first assistant in
the Ordnance Bureau; the law which
defined the duties of certain clerks in
the War Department. The statutes
also give the President the right to APP
point two-iand- one half persons TO the
Military Academy every year, and pro-
vide that militia man must appear
upon parade with match lock, GER
tain number of fints, and pair of bull
let-molds.

Portraits in Silk.

Col. Conveys Letter from Lyons, France.
You have, of course, seen the superb
portraits and landscapes woven on silk
by those Lyons artists; they almost
rival the matchless tapestries at Wind
sor Castle. AS we entered the show
room of the director, quite collection
OF hkenesses, SO produced, looked
down upon us from the walks. There
was the Marshal President Mcmahon,
ex-President Theirs, Napoleon I'LL, and
the Empress Eugene; Pedro, King
of Portugal, in his youth; Pope Plus
TX; jacquard, inventor Of the silk
loom, born in Lyons, in 1852; and over
all marvellous portrait of George
Washington. And as if to prove the
veneration with which the father of our
new country is cherished in this beau
tiful metropolis, one Of the oldest COM
munities in the Old World, directly
under his silken picture are the follow
ing words woven in English. taken from
one of Washington's public papers;
they are significant at time when
skeptical unbelief seems to have &C
quired a new force among the European
people:
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead
to political prosperity, religion and morality
are indispensable supports. In vain would
that man claim the tribute Of patriotism who
should labor to subvert these great pillars OF
human happiness. these tirmest props of the
duties of men and citizens. The mere politi-
clan, equally with the pious man, out to re-
spect and cherish them.

stop here. 81 have got something else

rolled an almost-speaking likeness of
Abraham Lincoln. I thought [ could
do nothing better than to purchase
three silken portraits of the same size
one of Washington, one of Lincoln, and
one of jacquard, and to preserve them
for my friend, Col. Fitting, as another
humble deposit in the National Museum
at Independence Hall.

recommended and sold over the bar by

pure herbalistic extracts, known to
possess sterling medicinal qualities, and
is compounded without the use in any
shape of spirits. Its action upon the
internal system IS not stimulating to the
extent that alcoholic poison is, but it at
once attacks blood impurities, and by
removing the original cause destoys the
germs of disease and invites returning
health. Its action upon the stomach
