Latest Monetary Adyices.

II you have any business with Il bank,
put 1t off until 3 o'clock, or if possible
a little later, III it looks a little more
business-like to rush in Just AS the
bank il closing.
Never put stamps on your checks be-
fore you get to the bank, but give the
teller two cents and ask him TO lick il
and cancel it for you the teller expects
to lick all the stamps and it il n source
of disappointment to him when people
insist on doing it themselves, and viii
save him buying his lunch.
In dcpositing money, try and get ii
upside down and wrong end foremost,
80 that the teller may have a little exer,
else in Strengthening it up before count
ing it.
II is best not to take your bank. book
with You, but call Mt another time to
hive IL entered. You can thus make
two trips to the bank where one would
nswer.
If II check is made payable to your
order, DO careful not to indorse it before
You hand it to the teller, but let him
return it TO you and wait while you
indorse it; this helps pass the time
and il n pleasure and II relief to the
teller.
You can generally save time when
making II deposit by counting your
money down to the teller, and you can
nearly always count moro speedily and
correctly than he can.
If you make IL deposit of one hundred
dollars and give n check for fifty, it is n
good thing to call frequently Mt tho
bank and ask how your account stands,
M it impreescs the officers favorably
with your business qualifications.
Never keep any record of when your
notes fall due, and then if they are
protested censure the bank for not
giving you notice.
Always date your checks ahead; it is a
never. failing sign that You keep II good
balance in bank, or if you do not wish
it generally known that You are doing
a good business, do not deposit your
money until about the time you expect
your check will be in.
A strict observance of the foregoing
rules will make your accounts desirable
for any bank, and make You II general
flvorite with all the bank officers.

Gambling in High Life.

Some little excitement is going on in
London about II vice which threatens
TO become II fashion in the highest cir
Giles of society, and which has already
cost some serious scandals. Ladies' of
high rank aud great wealth, for lack Of
something better to do. have set the ex-
ample Of gambling Mt cards for large
stakes, and in n or two apparently
decorous drawing rooms ums Of money
have changed owners of appalling
amount. SCANDAL whispers that n no.
bleman Of high rank has been obliged
b. sell estates which have been in the
family Tor centuries, in order TO clear
himself of the difficulties in which his
wife had involved him by her passion
for gambling. The duchess of Man
chester il said to have 10 cli0, 900
sterling, but TO this ! can not pledge
myself. The matter liz really grave one
and.,it 3 seriously to be hoped that
some way may b , found Of checking the
practice before it has become widely
fashionable. Unluckily gambling ap.
pears +, exert II fatal influence over
those who have once iudulged in it,
and 1t liz the more important, therefore,
that the leaders Of fashionable society
should resolutelv crush the practice
which they can do il they %choose-by
closing their doors against either man
or m who is known to he Il gam
bier. The utter useltssntss and lazi.
ness which ruins the lives of both men
and women in our upper classes is the
true source of such a vice as gambling,
and only earnest work and honest labor
will cure the diseases which are slowly
eating away all that is best and noblcst
from the natures of our luxurious and
idls nristocratic class.

A Curious Historical Relic.

A curious and interesting art relic is
among tho contributions to the art ex'
hibition at the Lotus club. IL consists
Of a miniature portrait OF General
George Washington, accompanied with
a portrait of Martha Washington, each
painted on ivory, and encased IN a
medallion solid gold frame. Each
miniature is surrounded by hair from
the original. The pictures have, for
nearly a hundred wears, been in the
possession of the Washington family.
The portrait of General Washington
was painted in the federal camp during
the siege Of Boston, by Charles Wilson
Peale, and presented to the general,
Some years later, at the time of the
first presidency, the portrait OF Martha
Washington was painted, and the two
pictures were inclosed in the present
case, with the hair of General Wash
ington and his wife, and presented by
General Washington to his sister, Mrs.
Betty Lewis. Upon the death Of Mrs.
Lewis, the miniatures descended to her
daughter, Mrs Carter, and from her
were handed down TO her grandson,
Mr.. John II. Patteson, son Of Eleanor
Carter, the granddaughter Of Mrs. Bet
tie Lewis. There are several points OF
interest in this portrait Of Washington.
The expression Of the face gives a diff
fcront impression of the N II from that
conveyed by Stuart's famous picture.
The mouth ia softer and more kindly
than in the Stuart portrait, and the
eyes and the brow also vary in notice
able particulars. II must be remem-
bercd, however, that Washington Mt
this time was less mature than when
the Stuart pOrtraiJ was painted. He
had not yet begun to wear the set of
false teeth, made from n solid block Of
ivory, which afterward distorted his
face. Under the generals uniform
coat is seen, in this miniature, a wide
blue scarf, which, it is asserted, was
only worn at an early period of the
war, A general order, which included
Washington himself, indicated, by the
color Of the scarfs to be worn, the
grade Of the various generals, at that
time personally unknown to the army.
The color of Washington's hair be-
meath his powdered peruke was brown.
