Bank Clerks.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin
says that the bank clerks of Boston are
as capable, Industrious, and faithful a
set of bank officers rs can be found i'll
any city in the world. But after all, it
states, the place to find an extensive
army of well trained bank clerks is III
the Bank of England. This institution,
with it's capital of ninety millions of dol
lars and dating back to 1894, to-day en-
ploys nine hundred clerks. The build
ing in which these clerks do their work
covers five acres of ground. It has not
n single window upon the street, the
light of day being admitted only through
open courts. It has a clock in the cen-
ter of the bank with fifty dials. The
Bank of England is instituted in the
center of London but it has one branch
at the west end of the city, and many
branches in the provinces. Though the
Bank of England employs very heavy
force of, clerks, it would seem, from q
glance at it's business, that it ought to
keep them we'll employed and fairly
remunerate them. Its sole work in its
issue department is to give out notes to
the public. The profit the bank derives
from its issue department is the interest
received upon the $40, 900 govern
ment debt and securities, which, Mt the
rate of three per cent, is 50, 100, 900 n
year. By it's dealing in coin and bullion,
it has the reputation of making $3.50, 900
q year. The amount of Bank Of Eng
land notes ahoat generally averages about
S1OO, 100000, anu has lately reached
S165, 100000. The deposits in the Bank
of England, out of which it of course
makes great deal of money, range from
$50, 1000 to nearly twice that sum.

An Engineers Suicide.

Charles Collins, civil engineer of the
Lake Shore road, on which the Ashta-
bula calamity occurred, was found deatl
in his house, having evidently COM
mitted. suicide by shooting. He was be-
fore the investigating committee of the
Legislature few days ago, and was
closely questioned regarding the acci-
dent and lack of care which might per-
haps have prevented it, and this, coupled
with the fuct that public opinion would
not be satisfied of his innocence, it is be-
Geved led to the rash act. He had ap-
peared very Respondent previous to and
Immediately succeeding the examina-
ton, and had been missing since the
day following. 1t is supposed that in
stead of going to Ashtabula to join his
family, who were visiting there, he re-
paired to his house, and fell to brooding
over the terrible affair. He had passed
the ordeal of the examination by the
coroner and the Legislative committee
with great satisfaction to all his friends,
the members of the Legislative COM
mittee entirely generating him in pri-
vate. But he was unable to withstand
fears that the general public would not
SO decide. The deed was evidently COM
mitted on the day succeeding the exami-
nation. Mr.. Collins was highly respect
ed as an engineer and a gentleman, and
enjoyed the complete confidence of Com
modore Vanderbilt. He had been in the
position since the consolidation. He was
a graduate of the Troy POLYTECHNIC In
stitute, and former chief engineer of the
Boston and Albany road.

For the North Pole.

Captain H. W. Howgate in u recent
letter says his polar-colonization scheme
naturally divides itself under three heads,
rs follows
/. The organization of a properly
equipped expedition, with ample means,
both to maintain a colony and to prose-
cute efforts to reach the north pole. To
this end Congressional aid is to be sought
and bill has been introduced into the
lower House and properly referred.
This provides that $50, 900 be appropri-
ated, to be used under the direction of
the President, in organizing one or
more expeditions, and that the natural
academy of sciences be invited to assist
with its advice. In case this bill fails to
pass, the necessary funds, it is hoped,
could be raised by private subscription.
2. The establishment and maintenance
of the colony. Proper material for
shelter, ready to be Immediately put up,
should be taken by the vessel carrying
the colonists. With this precaution
they could be made as comfortable as
the signal service officials atpresent are
at the s,lmmitof Pixies Peak or of Mount
Washington, although the exposure of
these astmentioned would be for a short
er period: Proper food should be provid-
ed in proper quantities and sufficient vari-
ETY.. Fresh meat in proper quantities
can be had in the immediate vicinity of
the proposed colony. With proper food
and shelter there is no trouble about
keeping men even at such ATTITUDES in
robust health.
8. Explorations to the pole.-The
officer in charge being on the spot would
be able to take advantage Of all favor
able opportunities, and no doubt, in
three years time or less, would dis
cover the pole itself, if such feat is
within the reach of human efforts. The
vessel taking the colonists should re-
turn Immediately, and the colony be
provided with sledges and small boats
for their penetrations northward.
Captain Tyson, Of the Polaris party,
enthusiastically indorses Captain How
gates scheme. He characterizes it as
the most practicable yet devised, and
thinks the scientific societies of the coun-
try ought to memorialize Congress in
favor of the bill before mentioned. If
the United States, he says, proves too
niggardly to prosecute this enter rise,
England or Germany will undoubtedly
move i'll the matter and secure the honor
of accomplishing the desired result.

The Ballet in Elmira.

The Elmira advertiser thus expresses
it's opinion of ballet dancers, incidental
to a description of a recent performance
in that city: But the ballet was the
most attractive part of the entertain
ment, and it was the best one ever given
in Elmira. If it is said that our people
are hardly up to the finest kind of music,
how much more can it be said that they
are not up to the ballet. They didn't
seem to appreciate it. Some most grace
full and beautiful dancing was allowed to
pass without murmur, while the athlet-
ic Jumps of the master of the ballet, his
gymnastic turns and evolutions, were en-
cored. Four of the principal ladies
were decidedly beautiful in their dane
ing, and looked pretty, except for their
white skirts that didn't reach to the
knee. Their dresses were the only ones
out of character, and out of harmony
with the play. The remainder of the
troupe wore graceful, neat, and not
immodest costume that was Assyrian,
that gave their limbs freedom of action,
and withal was very pretty. If there is
ali ungraceful and ridiculous costume for
a woman, it is the usual ballet girls
dress, the white gauze skirts, that are of
no possible use, either for protection OF
attraction. They had much better be
left off entirely. A woman thus &C
coutered looks like hen with all her
feathers plucked off except rim around
the center of her body, and becomes
rather an object for laughter and ridi-
cule than for admiration.

He Whipped "Yankee" Sullivan.

Among the stories told about the late
Commodore Vanderbilt is the following,
related by an old resident OF Staten
Island: ,
During the warm and closely contested
Presidential campaign of 1874, when
James K. Polk and Henry Clay were
running as the respective candidates OF
the Democratic and Wing parties, there
was great enthusiasm and intense excite
ment on Staten Island relative to the
issue. Commodore Vanderbilt, who was
then in his prime, took great interest
in the fight, and was an ardent supporter
of Henry Clay, for whose success ne ex-
erted himself with all the vigor for
which he was so well noted. He was
among the foremost in getting up meet
ings and professions, and organized and
commanded magnificent troop OF horse
men composed Of about 500 of the finest
men in the Wing party on the island.
When the grand Clay and Frellnghuysen
procession took place in New York Com.
modore Vanderbilt and his troop OF
horsemen occupied very conspicuous
position in it, drew encomiums from oil
who saw them, and were greatly cheered.
The commodore, especially, presented, an
imposing appearance on account OF his
magnificent physique. At that time
Yankee" Sullivan kept barroom IN
Chatham street, just opposite City Hall
park. He was in his barroom with
gang of roughs as Commodore Wander
bits troop passed by, and hearing the
applause and noting the fine appearance
OF the commodore, he thought it a fine
opportunity of exhibiting to his friends
how he could "take the commodore
down." and rushing out he seized the
reins of his horse and tried to compel
him to alight. The horse reared, the
commodore cut Sullivan across the back
with his whip, and then, leaping to the
ground, so badly beat him that his
friends took him away in nearly sense
less condition. Commodore Vanderbilt
remounted and proceeded, and was not
molested again that day. AS every one
knows, Clay was defeated. The result
was, SO far as Commodore Vanderbilt
was concerned, that he went out of poll.
tics, and ever after kept entirely clear OF
party strife.

The Centennial Addresses.

1t is not so generally known as it
should be, says Washington paper,
that Congress invited by special JOINT
resolution, approved March, 13, 1876,
that all counties or towns where historl-
cal addresses were delivered on the CEN
tennial day. July 4, 1876, should file one
CODY of such addresses in the library OF
Congress, ut Washington. Up to this
time about $50 historical documents
illustrating the origin and progress OF
rs many American towns and countries
have been received and filed at the
library of the United States. Many OF
these are in manuscript, many more IN
newspaper form and others in quite
elaborate books with illustrations.
Twenty-seven States and four Territor-
les are represented in this couec-
ton, and others are still coming in,
which, it is hoped, will be continued
until printed sketches or manuscript
histories of American towns are gathered
together Mt the seat of government.
Representative G. A. Hardenbergh.
of New Jersey, under whose auspices the
work has thus far been done, is still Civ
ing the subject his earnest attention,
and hopes to be fully successful in com.
pleting this great commemorating record
of American progress.

The Ohio Valley Floods.

It is fortunate, says an exchange, that
the area of heavy precipitation which
caused the floods in the Ohio and Cum.
berland rivers has been limited to that Of
the Ohio valley region. If it had ex-
tended into the watersheds Of the upper
Mississippi and the Missouri rivers we
might now berecording the destruction OF
levees and the inundation of the bottom
lands along the lower course Of the
"Father of Waters" While the Ohio
and tributaries were gorged with the
floods descending from their respective
watersheds the upper portion of the
Mississippi and the entire length OF the
Missouri were so unaffected by the re-
cent heavy storms of rain and snow as to
add but little beyond the ordinary flow
to the volume of water entering the lower
Mississippi at Cairo. Hence the latter
river below that city was low and ready
to receive the surplus from the Ohio
valley without exhibiting any remarkable
disturbance of it's levels. The damage
caused By the floods was, therefore, con-
fined to tie region:i which they originat-
ed. II, as we stated above, the immense
watersheds of the Mississippi and Mis-
souri, had been proportionately affected
by the storms as was that of the Ohio
valley. the destruction of property would
have been unparalleled, for the united
waters would have continued to be pre-
cipitated into reservoir, or rather chan
mel, already filled. The "danger line "
would have been overtopped at all points
and the adjacent country inundated.
The possibility of this occurring any
year should awaken the State authorities
to q sense of their danger, and induce
them to exert themselves to provide
against such a contingency by raising
and strengthening the Mississippi levees

Shut the Door.

Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore
No doubt you have heard that name before
Was boy who never would shut the door
The wind might whistle, and the wind might
roar
And the teeth be aching, and throats be sore,
But still he never would shut the door.
His father would beg. his mother implore:
Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore,
We really wish YOU would shut the door. '"
Their hands they wrung, their hair they tore.
But Godfrey Gordon Gustavus Gore
Was deaf as the buoy ont at the More.
When he walked forth the folks would roar :
"Godfrey Gordon GustavuS Gore,
Why don't you think to shut the door,"
They rigged out shutter with sail and oar,
And threatened to pack off Gustavus Gore
On voyage Of penance to Singapore.
But he begged for mercy, and said no more,
"Pray do not send me to Singapore
On shutter. and then will slut the door"
"You will?" said the parents, "then keep Oh
shore.
But mind you do! For the plague is sure
OF fellow that never will shut the door

SOiOurner Truth and the Mob.

At one time she was Mt q camp meet
ing, and mob of young rlltfians were
determined to break up the meeting.
She, at first, hid herself, from fear, but
afterward said to herself:
"What shall I rlm away and hide
from the devil-me, servant of the liv-
ing God? Have I not faith enough to
90 out and quell that mob, when know
It is written: 'One shall chase q thou
sand, and two put ten thousand to
fight?' I'll 60 to the rescue, and the
Lord will 90 with me to protect zoe"
She went out into the open field.
among the wild and reckless mob, and
commenced to sing in the most fervid
manner and with powerful voice
1t was early in the morning, it was early in the
morning,
Just at the break of day,
When He rose, when He rose, when He rose,
And went to Heaven on cloud.
Soon the crowd surrounded her, arm
ed with clubs and sticks. AS she ceased,
one spoke up: =,
"Sing on, old woman nobody shall
hurt YOU" Another said: "Talk to us,
old woman Another: "Pray, old
woman, and tell MS your experience y
So she talked and sung and prayed
until the subdued and convicted mob
quietly dispersed, and the exercises of
the camp meeting proceeded peacefully
to the close.
