BANK Ole ENGLAND NoTEs.-Few OF
the persons 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 cuttings, never from
rags that have been worn. They have
been manufactured for nearly 200 years
by the same family, the Portals, Protest
ant refugees. SO carefully is the paper
prepared that even the number of dips
into the pulp made by each workman is
registered on a dial by machinery, and
the sheets are carefully counted and book
ed to each person through whose hands
they pass. The printing ~ done by a
most curious process in Mr.. Goes de-

There is an elaborate arrangement for

To WoMEN.-A sensible women should
not indulge in that feminine weakness
the love Of variety, which so frequently
displays itself by an ever-varying cos
tune. Whimsicality Of dress is neither
proofof good taste nor good sense, but
rather results from the mistake notion
that to attract attention is to gain admir-
alton. But whimsicalty, whether show
in dress, manner or opinions, permanent
admiration; it is more likely to meet the
smile Of contemptor or the sneor Of diculc.
A claim to superiority and distinction,
established on such foundation, has
nothing to secure it.

A QUEER STORY.
How wilkes Booths statement
Came To be Destroy ed.

LOUISVILLE, June 2l.-Mr. John L.
Ford, in his statement Of the assasslns
tion of President Lincoln, does not tell
the whole story. The package contain
ing the statement of John Wilkes Booth
was delivered to John +. Coyle, then
editor OF the National Iateltigencer, but
1t was never opened, but was destroyed
IN the presence OF very distinguished
company.
An eve witness relates that on the
night OF the assassination OF Mr.. Lincoln
u private dinner party was in progress in
a back room at Wormley's restaurant, IN
Washington, at which were present Gen.
Baird, Robert johnson, Hon. Samuel
Randall, John Morrissey, John +. Coyle,
editor of the National InteLLigeRcer, and
one other gentlemen.
During the progress of the dinner
waiter, who had been out on the streets,
returned and stated that the President
bad been shot at Fords Theatre.
The news created great CONSERVATION
in the party, who at first thought the
waiter wss drunk or crazy. Later on,
when they were assured that it ws' tsct,
and that John Wilkes Booth was accused
of The crime John f. Coyle, with
banched feature and trembling lips,
said: my God, gentlemen, this very
day l met John Wilkes Booth in the
market place. He wss on bay mare,
and role up to me and handed me
sealed envelope, saying, as be did SO: If
you hear Of me in twenty-tour hours pub

that time destroy this and he rode away.

pocket, "What must do with it2'

The doors were carefully locked, q fire

envelope and IFS contents were carefully
burned. Even the ashes were carefully
collected and placed In dish and water
poured upon them, and the two mixed
into q paste, which was afterwards put
into the fire and burned again.
