Advocates Of uncomfortable paper cur
rency NAV perhaps derive some sa,i>fac-
tiOn and encouragement from the fact
that from the reign of Henry First down
TO the period OF The establishment Of the
Bank OF England, the legal tender mon, =
oil Engian was fabricated out of wood.
This instrlmen, was called an exchange
tally, and by virtue Of il the holder was
entitled 10 receive from the crown the
value inscribed thereon. IL really cou-
sisted OF Oue-hsll of lour-Sided rod Cr
staff. on which, when in It's entire state,
the sum it purporied to represent wss
carved in transverse notches, wary ing in
width for thousands, hundreds, scores,
pounds. shillingS, and pence. These
signs were for the unearned; for the al
vantage Of those who could read. the
sun was written in ink on two opposite
sides OF the staff, and. finally, with a
knife and mallet the staff itself was split
in two longitudinally. One halt. called
the tally or check, was given to the per
son tor whose service il was intended
the other halt, called the counter tally,
was laid up in safe keeping until its cor
responding tally should be brought in by
the person who had last given value for
il. Its intrinsic value was. OF course,
only that oil the wood on which it was
composed, but by representation it de-
noted large sums. From this primitive
tally was derived the Exchequer Bill, inst
introduced in 1896 by Mr.. Montague. the
chancellor of the Exchequer. The word
bill too. was no doubt obtained from
the Norman French word, bile, which
means staff. Bank post bills and bills
of exchange in our own day came from
the same wooden base, and soldiers are
said st this hour to be "bileted," because
formerly they rendered wooden "billes
or tallies to the victuallers upon whom
they were quartered.
In oldeu times officers OF the army
who we're taken into the kings own pay
were said TO be put on the staff, that is,
they were paid with exchequer tallies. or
wooden money Scientific american.

1t seems that apple-Sauce is the Con-
gressiOnal name for whiskey. In order to
evade the law against selling liquor in the
capital, bibulOus Congressman and mer-
cenary restauraters entered into an agree
ment that when apple-sauce was called for
cornjuice should be forthcoming. On the
Senate side they call spirituous liquors cold
tea. But the sale Of the harmful bever-
ages with harmless names has at last been
stopped, and Congressman have to dodge
under their desks and drink out of bot
tie.

The extra session of Congress lasted
seven weeks. 1t failed to dispose of the
business it was called together to consider
The army appropriation and the navy de.
fciency bills were passed, but the general
deficiency and the Paris exposition bills
were neglected. The Republican Senate
passed them, but the Democratic House
was too busy with silver and reputation
bills. The Democrats show singular
business inability. What We need is a

Dear Sir,-I have yours OF yesterday,
asking me in regard to reports you have
heard to the effect that "MSs Ianthe l..
Morgan is with child" to which AN
glad that l sm able to give you an an
qualified denial, so far as appearances
indicate. She has been here now nearly
eight months, and we see no outward ap
pearance of her being pregnant, and no
one here has istimated any suspicion OF
such condition 10 her case, and am at
loss to know how such reports as you
speak OF could have originated. Ger
tsinly not trom ANY person connected
with the Institution hero.
Both OF the sisters have conducted
themselves very well during their con-
inement here, aud we think they have
improved in character and 10 every re-
spect since coming here, aud if the bus
band OF Mrs. Libby is any kind OF decent
mAn. | should think it advisable for her
to be pardoned. and the sooner the better.
Perhaps il may be rs well to let Miss
Morgan remain here another year.

US to enquire regarding the operations
of the Registration Law. Democratic

lead the people in regard to the re

of making political capital But the
law itself, if once read carefully, would
not embarrass any one in its under

fresh in the minds, We give below a
condensation of the provisions of the

Assault with Intent to XIII

On Saturday the 26th ult-, informa-
ton was made before Justice Schal Ter,
of Van Buren township, by Mr.. A R.
Bergman, charging John d. Stokebary,
with assault and battery. 1t appears
that on the 26tn ult. Mr.. Bergman and
lr. Philip Helpman were driving
along the road near Mr.. Stokebary's
in buggy, when Mr.. Stokebary game
driving along the road in a wagon, and
stopping in front of them got out OF
bis wagon and made an attack upon
Mr.. Bergman with a three-tined
pitchfork. One of the tines of tue
pitchfork entered Mr. Bergnan's fore
head and penetrated between the
scalp and bone as low as the eye brow,
the middle tine penetrated the bridge
of his nose and the third tine penetra
ted into his right cheek. Another
thrust was made at him by MIR. s. and
the tines of the fork penetrated Mr..
Bergman's back, when Mr.. B. succeed
ed in getting away from him. The
charge of assault and battery wa.
afterwards withdrawn, and a suir fo
assault with intent to kill has been, W,
understand, entered at this place. Tb,
papers have been made out, and onl,
await the affidavit of the complainant
for a warrant to issue for the arrest O
his assailant. Mr.. 2. insists that O
he knows ofno cause why he was thu
attacked.

Man Killed at Van Buren,

On Saturday last distressing acci-
dent occurred at the Touring mills of
Haddox & Ewing, in Van Buren, by
whicl Mr. Lyman Haddox was sinstant
ly killed. There was no one in he
engine room at the time, and hence no
one saw the accident or can explain
Just how it occurred; but it seems that
he went into the room to adjust the
betting on the main shaft, and some
time after was found lying up against
the mill wall dead and dreadfully
mangIed. The supposition is that he
was caught by the fiywheel, then
thrown out against the wall where he
was found. His legs and arms were
broken in a number of places, his neck
was broken, and to use the words of
our informant there twas not a whole
bone in his body" Coroner Barnhill
was summoned, but on viewing the
body he direc ed its burial, as AN in
quest was unneces sary. The funeral
took place or Sunday and WIS largely
attended.

Should be Getting Easier

We have taken some pains, within a
day or two to ascertain about what
quanit5 of wheat has been sold in this
community since the new wheat began
to move, and find that there has been
about IS, bushels purchased for
shipment and Touring. This may be
fairly averaged at 81. 20 per bushel, and
would represent asum of $4,000 in cash
which has passed into the hands of our
farmers within few weeks, and most
ly to parties living within few miles
of our city. 1t may safely be estima-
ted that as much more has chang
ed hands in other parts of the county,
and that already from $3.50, 600 to
5000, 00n has been let loose in this
county. Keep it going. Pay your debts
that others may do likewise. -

Terrible Accidept-Killed a

We are in receipt OF the particulars
of sad accident which occurred near
McComb. on Friday of last Veek, and
which resulted in the death of a young
man named Robinson. 1t appears
that ne had been hauling stave bolts to
town and had put on larger load han
usual. In driving through the woods
the road passed close by two trees and
just ahead another tree leaned over
the road. . In passing the leaning tree
young Robinson had to bend low to
get under it, and as he did 80 the hind
wheel of the wagon struck one of the
trees before mentioned, and stalling
the team, the wagon set back, forcing
young Robinson into such a position
that he could not relieve himself or
cry for help. In this position he re-
mained from 9 until about one O'Clock,
when a young lad was sent out to see
what detained him. The lad found
him as stated but could not render
assistance further than to unbuttoD
his shirt collar. At this tim. young
Robinson was alive, and the lad hur
rid off to get assistance, notifying the
father and some neighbors, but when
they reached him lie was dead-evi
IDENTIFY smothered. The sad accident
cast a gloom over the community
where the young man was known and
respected
