Bank OF England Notes.

The financial editor of the Philadel-
phia Ledger states, on the authority of
official report, that the notes of the
Bank of England are made from pure
white linen cuttings, never from rags
that have been worn. They have been
manufactured for nearly two hundred
years by the same family, the Portals,
Protestant refugees. So carefully is the
paper prepared that even the number
of dips into the pulp made by each
workman is registered on dial by ma
chinery, and the sheets are carefully
counted and booked to each person
through whose hands they pass. The
printing is done by a most curious pro-
cess in Mr.. Goes department within the
bank building. There is an elaborate
arrangement for securing that no note
shall be exactly like any other in exist
ence. Consequently there never was a
duplicate of Bank of England note
except By forgery. According to the
City Press the stock of paid notes of
seven years is about "a, 900, 900 in num-
Der and they fill 5000 boxes, which, If
placed 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 3 ribbon $1,000 miles
long; their superficial extent is more
than that of Hyde Park; their original
value was over $4,000, 100000, and
their weight over one hundred and
twelve tons.

An Alligator Story.

Mr.. W. W. Ocain, living in the neigh
borhood of Huntsville, six miles north
east of Lake City, Fla, has for years
been troubled by the depredations of
large alligator. His track as he made
his way through the fields has been Of
ten seen, and the frequent disappear
ance of hogs occasioned this gentleman
to make offers for his teeth. With the
hope of destroying this pest, he put out
bait and poison several weeks ago. The
bait was taken. but still the alligator
took in additional shotes. A large hook
was obtained and baited, but bait and
hook we're taken, the latter by gnawing
the rope which held it. Things were
becoming desperate, and the recent dry
weather favored Mr. Ocain. Last Satur-
day the alligator was traced to his hole,
and, finding it muddy, it was concluded
that he had just sought retreat. A negro
was sent in, but was Immediately seized
by the leg, and with difficulty was res
cued, badly bitten. However, the party
succeeded in killing the alligator, which
measured ten and q half feet. He was
skinned and opened, and in him was
found the hook. large pig, and several
other things. Having been fed 50 well
it was thought good time to try alli-
gator steak, but this was prevented by
the suggestion that the meat might be
poisoned. A dog, however, was per-
mitted to eat his fill, and, strange to re-
late, in q short time was dead.-Jack-
sonrille (Fza.) Union.

FARM TOPICS.

CULTIVATION OF THE PEACH.--At
the late meeting Of the Washtenaw
County (Mich) Pathological Society,
the Secretary, in a paper on the cultiva-
ton Of fruit trees, held the following in
relation to the peach:
This fruit requires two different sys-
TENS Of culture. That is, the bearing
trees must be differently treated from
those that are too young for bearing. 1t
is the nature of the young peach tree TO
keep on growing late into the fall. This
must not be permitted. 1t can be pre-
vented by stopping TO stir the soil at
midsummer The rest of the season is
required to harden up the young wood
for winter. To properly control the
growth, skill and experience are reguir-
ed. In the month of August cultivating
for the young peach tree should stop.
Should the ground be very rich, and the
trees show determination to keep on
growing, the leading branches may be
pinched in. After pinching, new
growth will often start, but then we
must pinch again. Ripening up thor
oughly the new growth of The young
tree should be the aim of the peach
grower. Where the soil is poor, less
care is required in ripening the new
wood. The bearing peach tree can not
be cultivated too often. The soil must
at all times be kept loose. Cultivation
can be kept up till the fruit is ripe.
The new growth of the wood in bear
ing tree ceases to grow early in the
season; and there is no danger in slim
ulating late growth, for the fruit con-
sumes all the extra sap caused by cult
walton. Stirring the soil should be
thoroughly kept up, so that any time,
between the setting of the fruit and its
being picked, you can run your hand
right into the soil and fill it with loose
earth. But in order to grow large
peaches, and all of a large, uniform
size, the tree must have either its bear
ing branches shortened in, or the fruit
must be thinned out. Shortening in is
probably the least expensive operation
of the two. As long as you ship more
than one tenth of second OF medium
sized peaches, you are not master of
your occupation. l have grown the
Early Crawford so as to run from two
TO three and half inches in diameter,
and after all were picked there was no
more than one-twentieth below the
size.

The THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.--Our
readers will share with us in feelings of
deep regret at the announcement that the
Theological Seminary of the Presbyte-
rian Church, situated in this city, will
probably suffer serious loss by the fail
ure of Adger g. Co. The extent OF their
loss has not yet been accurately ascer-
tanned, but those who are in position
to know think that it will hardly be less
than S25, 900 or $4,000. If this proves to
be the case, the institution will be left
without The means of continuing its eX-
ercises. The request of the Board OF Di-
rectors to Rev. DIR. Plumcr that he would
visit the churches Of the State in behalf
of the seminary was made before tho
failure of Messrs. Adger e. Co. was
known, and now the necessity for his
doing so is of course greater than it was
then. We sincerely trust that his mis-
sion may be abundantly blessed, and
that some means will be Providentially
found for the maintenance of this most
useful institution. There are now twen-
ty-one students training for the Gospel
ministry within its walls, thirteen Of
them are in the senior class, six in the
middle and two in the junior, and its
graduates are scattered not only over the
Southern States, but over the American
continent and the world.-C0lumbiG Reg

A VETERAN AERoNAUT LoST.-6.
Louis. October l.-Prof. John Wise made
an ascension in his large balloon Path
finder, from Lindell Park, on Sunday
evening, intending to remain in the air
as long Us the sustaining power Of the
balloon held out. The ascension was
made solely in the interest OF science,
particularly meterorology. A brisk
breeze was blowing when tho fastenings
were cut loose, which carried the balloon
in northerly direction fol perhaps two
miles. at an elevation of from 200 to
1.5OO feet. 1t then turned due East and
sailed away out of sight. Prof Wise eX-
pocted to enter what he calls perman-
ent eastern wind current at an elevation
of about I,500 to 1000 feet, which he de-
sired to keep in if possible and make OBJ
servations; and to effect this more sure
ly, his ballast consisted only of three
quarters inch rope, 800 feet long, which
trailed from tho balloon. When the gas IS
exhausted the balloon was to descend,
and the end of the rope dragging on tho
ground was to relieve the balloon OF part
Of its weight and hold it steady in the
current. Mr.. George Burr, teller OF the
st. Louis National Bank, who has made
three ascensions and takes much interest
in the subject of air navigation, accom-
panied Prof. Wise.
No tidings have yet been received OF
the whereabouts Of Prof Wise and his
companion, and the opinion is growing
very strong that they have met tho Same
fate as Donaldson and Grimwood, who
assembled from Chicago two or three
years ago.
The balloon was new and had made on
ly a few ascensions. The last was at
Sterling, ILL.,, ON the 18th ultlmo, Wncn
John Wise, Jr., grandson oil frol. WISE,
reacbed an altitude of over three miles
and mado n voyage of eighteen miles.
prof Wise is II years of age, and balloon
ing with him has boon life study. Ho
has made 462 successful voyages.

county fair yesterday about two thou,
sand persons assembled on the. grand
stand to witness the races, when the cen
tire of the stand gave way and the mass OF
people were precipitated into the river il.
the rear and upon the ground in front.
Six were killed and large number moro
or less severely wounded.
DETROIT, October 3.-Advices from
Adrian give the total number Of persons
killed and since died from injuries re-
ceiyed in the accident at the fair grounds
Yesterday as sixteen. Seventy-lve moro
are severely injured, some of whom can
not recover The architect of the grand
stand is blamed for tho casualty. The
structure was unusually light, in ORDER
to admit space underneath for tho exhi-
bition of wagons and carriages. The
timbors were simply spiked, instead OF
being mortised and braced.
