BANK NoTEs.-Few Of the per-
SONS who handle Bank of England
notes, ever think of the amount Of
labor and ingenuity that is expended
ON their production. These notes
are made from pure white linen cut
tings only, never from rags that
have been worn. They have been
manufactured for nearly 200 years
st the same spot-Laverstroke, In
Hampshire, and by the same family
the Portals, who are descended
from some French Protestant refu
gees. 80 carefully is the paper pre-
pared that even the number Of dips
into the pulp made by each work
man Is registered on a dla. by ma
chinery, aud the sheets are carefully
counted, and booked to each person
to whose hands they pass. The
printing is done by most curious
process In Mr.. Coles department
within the bank building. There is
an elaborate arrangement for secur-
Ing that no note shall be exactly like
any other in existence. Consequent
ly there never was duplicate of a
Bank of England note except by
forgery. Ithas been stated that the
stock OF paid notes for seven years
is about 94,00O,0O0 in number, and
they fill 10000 boxes, which, if plac-
ed side by side, would reach three
miles. The notes, placed in pile,
would be eight miles high; or, if
Joined end to end, would form a
ribbon Is, 600 miles long; their su-
pericial extent is more than that of
Hyde Park; their original value was
over e3,OOO,0 ,OOC; and their
weight over one hundred and twelve
tons.

She came bounding through the

down on the table with a mighty
crash, and shouted:

THE PENALTY OF iMOB Law.
What the Dreadful Wrong OF
Sunday VIII Cost the People
OF PittsburR.

From the New York World.
The people Of Pittsburg who stood
by and allowed whole trains Of
freight cars to be broken open and
plundered OF property belonging to
their felow-countrymen all over the
country, may expect TO be compelled
to make good those losses Of private
citizens as well as those OF the rail-
way corporations whose buildings
and whose stock they suffered to be
destroyed. 1t is probably % moder-
ate estimate to put the total Of all
these losses at "a, 500, 600. The as
sessed valuation OF Pittsburg Ia $172-
600. 600, and it contains a population
Of lac, 600 persons, many Of whom,
OF course, have been thrown out of
employment or subjected TO losses
and Inconvenience by these scandal
ouS events. The city, therefore, will
have to submit to levy on it's valu-
alton roll Of $2.6l In 800 OF taxable
property, or rather more than one
fortteth of the total amount. This
lis equivalent to q fine Of $S2.15 laid
upon every man, woman and child
in the city to compensate the unjsr-
ed parties or TO an annual impost of
$7.25 per capital to meet the interest
at 2 per cent. Of bonds issued to clear
the Indebtedness. 1t must be obvi-
GUS to the meanest capacity that it
would have been much cheaper, even
as a simple question of immediate
outlay, to preserve order and enforce
the laws. Now that the mischief
has been done, however, it would be
cheaper for Pittsburg to ''execuue
herself" at once, raise the money
and do justice without a lawsuit
than to incur the suspicion of being
unwilling to make it safe for Amer
lean citizens to expose their property
within her limits. And it will be
well for the taxpayers of other
States to take warning In time and
save themselves thereby both ex.
pense and Sha ne.

Shameless OutrageS on the Battle.
field at MatchIn.

From the World correspondent I'm the
Russian Camp.
Having received permission to
join as volunteer the expedition
against Matchin, which is little
more than coup de main or divi-
sion to conceal from the enemy the
point at which the real crossing will
take place, l was one of the first who
had the honor TO step on the right
bank of the Danube. l write you to-
night but o few words after day
Of tremendous hghting, The Turks
have fought with q wild desperation
which has cost as very dear. The
horrors | have witnessed to-day /
shall never forget, am so tired
out that I am scarcely able to write,
but still | want 10 make known to
the civilized world as soon as Possi-
bic and Nnder the first impression
these horrible scenes. At the begin
ming OF the battle this morning
small body OF our sharpshooters were
oveipowered and surrounded by the
Turks. The main force of our
troops was still landing and had to
sustain q heavy and well-directed
Are, so that no immediate help could
be sent TO those unfortunate men.
Before our eyes they were one by one
frightfully mutilated by the Turk
ish soldiery, and then slain in cold
blood. If I live q hundred years |
shall never forget the yells of rage
which broke from our men at the
ghastly sight. They were beyond
all control OF the officers; In one mass
they rushed onward, the Cossacks
taking the lead, cutting to pieces
every Turk who attempted to resist
and giving no quarter. The slaugn-
ter was terrific; no prisoners were
made. When at last the positions
OF the Turks were taken and the
fight ceased for lack OF fighters, we
recovered eleven bodies of tortured
comrades. AS / have said, they
were frightfully, indescribablY mutt
lated, and the mutilated parts of
their bodies were stuck into their
mouths ! Our men are 80 exaspera-
ted that it will indeed be difficult to
control them and we'll they may
be, for though not nervous Or excita-
hle myself, my hand actually trem-
bles with rage and disgust in de-
scribing to you these horrors. "V.,"
who has just returned from Matchin,
tells me that there our men have
found women and children outraged
by the retiring Turkish soldiery and
their limbs tied with strings cut out
OF their skin. When they were
found by our troops some OF the vic
tins were still living! 1t would be
an insult to wild beasts to compare
them with creatures capable of COM
mitting such deeds. And yet our
'civilized" neighbors in Europe will
doubtless pour out torrents OF indig-
nation against "Muscovite" crueltyl
Whatever may be subsequently said
about the matter, / now solemnlY
give you my word Of honor that what
I have said about the atrocities COM
mltted blythe Turks is strictly true.
I myself have seen the mutllated
bodies of our men. OF course the
result of such acts will prove fatal to
the Turks themselves. Hatred and
the thirst of revenge will spread like
fire through our whole army, and il
such horrors continue the army will
be soon past control, and will sweep
all before it until the crescent disap-
pears forever in the waves Of the
Bosphorus. rg..
