Good Company for Noyember.l
Bounded on all four sides by the
street, all the windows of the Bank of
England prudentially open into a cen

1t has been occupied every night by a
detachment of soldiers. Its business
requires a working force of one thous-
and two hundred men. Its bank
notes are printed within the building.
The same note is never paid out over
its counter twice. The new bill that
is issued this morning is retired as
soon as 1t returns. no matter if the
same mar pays it in again this after
noon without a wrinkle in it. 1t is
allowed to issue notes to the amount
OF 10000 600 on the security of its
standing loan Of a much larger amount
to the government, which constitutes
a part Of the public debt. For every
note issued above that-and it has a
circulation of over 100000, 00-bul
lion Of an equal amount must be paid
into its treasury, and must be kept
there for the redemption Of the note
when it returns. The transfer on
the continent often finds its notes at a
premium in gold. No note is issued
OF a less denomination than e2.
Every note is numbered, and the
name of the party to whom it is paid
out is carefully recorded. The prac-

If the trunk manufacturers do not
quit making so many thousands of
valises exactly alike, somebody is 60

about it some time, and some trunk
makerwill be sued for damages enough

The other day an omnibus full of
passengers drove up town from the
Union depot. Side by side sat a COM
mercial traveller. named William
Mocabyand Mrs. Winnie G. Dumblo.
ton, the eminent lady temperance
lecturer. When the omnibus reached
the Barrett House the commercial mis-
sionary seized his valise and started
out. The lady made a grab after him,
and he halted.
Il beg your pardon" she said but
you have my valise."
You are certainly mistaken, mad
am, the traveller said, c~ourteeusly but
firmly, this is mine"
No, sir, the lady replied firmly,
1T is mine. | would know it among
a thousand. You must not take it"
But the traveller persisted and the
l~dy insisted, and they came very near
quarreling. Presently one of the pas
sengers pointed to a twin valise in the
omnibus, and asked:
Whose is that?'
1T isn't mine, said the traveller:
1T is just like it, but this is nine"
And it isn't mine." said the ladve
he has mine, and I'll have it or I'll
have the law on him. It's a pity if a
lady cant travel alone in this country
without being robbed Of her property
in broad daylight"
Finally the traveller said he would
open the valise to prove his property.
The lady objected at first, saying she
did not want her valise opened in the
presence Of strangers. But as there
was no other means of settling the
dispute she at length consented. The
traveller sprung the lock, opened the
%valise, and the curious crowd bent
forward to see. On the very top Of
everything lay a big fiat flask, hall
full of whisky, a deck of cards, and
one or two other things that nobody
knew the name Of.
The traveller was the first to recover
his elfpossession and speech.
Madam he said, q you are right.
The yalise is yours. | owe you a
thousand apollo"
But the lady had tainted, and the
traveller relocked the valise with a
quiet smile. Early in the afternoon Q
sign painter down town received a
note in a feminine hand, asking him
70 come to the Barrett House to mark
a red leather valise in black letters a
foot and a half long.
