Too Much of a Good Thing.

A well-preserved old gentleman en- tered the Sub-Treasury building in New York, and presented thirty-five $1, ,O00 called bonds for redemption. After the usual formalities had been gone through with and the necessary papers signed, the clerk placed upon the counter seven bags containing $5,0O0 each in gold coin. The old gentleman gasped out:
 "Wha-wha-what's this ?"
 "Your $35, ,0O0, sir,' was the reply.
 "But 1 don't want gold. Give me legal tenders. I am seventy-four years of age, and I can't carry thos about with me" said the old gentleman, struggling to lift one bag.
 "We have no authority to pay legal tenders, sir. We are redeeming called bonds in gold"
 The old gentleman expostulated, but in vain. He hurried to the Gallatin National Bank and begged President Happen to get him out of his scrape. MT. Happen explained that all he could do would be to receive the gold on de- posit and allow him to draw check against it. The old gentleman was de- lighted. He said he did not care what the arrangement was 80 that he could obtain greenbacks instead of the gold. The banks porter was sent after the bags, the deposit was made, the check drawn, and the old gentleman went or his way rejoicing.

A Grand Time.

Grenville Murray, in new Round About France" paper, tells how Paris IS washed, starched and ironed every week. He says that French laundresses have an awkward trick of putting on the fine linen of their lady customers to deck themselves withal on festive occasions i; and this they do especially at the yearly festival of washerwomen which takes place on the Thursday of Mid-Lent On that day the laundresses of each washhouse elect Queen generally the prettiest girl who washes or irons in the quarter she in turn nominates King, some fascinating young man who drives a laundry cart, and the pair being tricked out in their best are driven about all day in a carriage and pair, followed by gallant procession of other washer women and washermen in vans, carts, and gigs of every description. In the evening there is @ grand dinner, for which two or three tdUoirs club to- gether, and the proceedings wind up with ball. During M.-Careme weeks ladies have often to complain that theil smartest petticoats, silk stockings, and laced handkerchiefs are missing, fer the Queens get themselves up regardless o1 other peoples expense, and are never SC pleased as when they can find among their customers bundles the materials for showy bridal costume, all white and fresh.

THE DIFFERENoE.-Wit sometimes consists of an unexpected definition of words. Father" said a youthful prodigy to the professor of mathematics, "can you tell me the difference between one yard and two yards ?' In an instant the mathematical brain began to run over the theorems of Euclid, but no clear answer came. The professor looked into the boys face and remembered that Hay dn played the cathedral organ when he was five years old, and began to won- der if this boy was equally gifted. "Do you give it up?" "Yes, my son. l think must" and he grew very grave and solemn. "Well, the real difference is fence, father" The boy went out to play marbles, while the old gentle. man thought of great many things which he couldn't express.

A Rare Man Gone.

By the death of Bayard Taylor, our Minister to Germany, the United States and the world loses man of class which at it's largest is far too small. While not positively great in any single particular, his nature combined many distinguished him among his fellow men. His versatility, which is universally &C., knowledged, was neither the result of ambition nor curiosity, but rather the natural outcome of a catholicity of na- ture and taste which compelled him to interest himself in whatever was ad- mirable, manly or good. He was at one and the same time fine embodiment of modern culture and living rebuEe to the generation of pigmies to whom cul- ture IS an incessant but meaningless shbboleth. Beyond the age at which literary men arc most active, and with out the whip of necessity to urge him to labor, he was almost to the last an industrious, painstaking, voluminous writer, always carrying to his work Q degree of enthusiasm which many younger men might envy. Like most other men, he die,l with his favorite work uneompleted and his principal aln- bition uDsatisGed, for to write the life of Goethe and to b. principally esteemed as a poet were the darling desires of his heart. The memory of Bayard Taylor will be afectionately treasured as that of genial gentleman, hearty friend, loyal citizen, an enjoyable writer, and, in the fullest sense of the term, an honest workman, Bayard Taylor was born in Ksnnett Square, the name of a pleasant rural village in Chester county, Pennsylvania, on the 11th of January, 1925, and had consequently nearly com pleted his fifty fourth year at the time of his death. : He was descended from a Quaker family.
