The London City Press, remarking
upon the amount of labor and ingenuity
expended upon the production of the
Bank of England notes. states that
they are still made, as for generations
past, from pure white linen cuttings
only-never from rags that have been
worn-and SO carefully is the paper
prepared that even the number of dips
into the pulp made by each workman is
registered on dial by machinery. and
the sheets are carefully counted and
booked to each person through whose
hands they pass. The printing is done
by a most curious process-secret, of
course within the bank building; and
there is also an elaborate arrangement
for providing that no note shall be ex-
actly like any other in existence, and
consequently there never was dupli-
cate OF any of the banks notes, except
by forgery 1t has been stated that
the stock Of paid notes for seven years
is about "a, 900, 900 in number, and if
the mass were placed in pile, it would
be eight miles high, or. if joined end to
end, would form ribbon $4,000 miles

A Backwoods View of the Toilet.

A popular Macon minister recently
spent the night thirty miles below
Americus with backwoodsman, whose
house consisted of only two rooms.
The family, however, consisted OF
twenty one, though, owing to dance
in the neighborhood only seventeen Of
the children were at home. The min
lister spent the night with the farmer
and seven sons in the room, while the
old lady and ten daughters occupied
the other. In the morning junior
member of the family, in response to al
application for a washbowl, brought
him an old tin pan, and after the face
toilet was completed hunted up about
seven teeth of an old tucking comb for
him to arrange his hair with. During
the progress of this important ceremony
the following conversation between the
two took place: Mister, do you wash
every mornin'?" 81 do" "And comb
your hair, too?" eyes" "Well, don't

Jack Rafferty, made wager that he
could drink without paying in every
saloon on Spring street, Jefiersonville,
Ind, He got safely into and out of
seven places, but in the eighth, when he
said. ''Hang it up" the bartender
gave him dreadful whipping. There
were six more bars to cover, and he
struggled on; but his appearance was
now against him, and at the eleventh
his skull was fractured with club; so
he lost the bet.

When Simpson mounted his horse to

to dismount, but stuck fast to the sad

the saddle with tar. He finally leaned
forward, cut the hitch rein, and rode
homeward. He severed the saddle

SPIRIT Of THE PRESS,


The Commercial says: At the close OF
the war the South opened an inviting field
TO the Meth dist Episcopal Church North,
and the work was Immediately begun. AT
that time there existed eirht conferences
of the old Church in the South, with an
aggregate membership of 81, ,S04, and own
ing property valued at more than $780,.
SO0 In 1879 the membership had in.
creased to 4l0,899. and the value of the
church property 10 $S,563,4l very re.
markable growth There exists q
separate Methodist Colored Church
in the South, with several Con.
ferences, presided over by five Bish.
ops This Church, however, is an offspring
Of the Methodist Church South. which
ceded to the colored Methodists liberal
share Of Church property. But the colored
people Of that region who are not members
Of it regard the Methodist Church as one OF
the agencies in their emanci patton and ihe
preservation of the Union; and they look
up to it with veneration and affection and
desire to be incorporated with it. Although
MIR. Hammond, of the Kentucky Confer
ence, took high ground and demanded the
election Of coored man to be a full Bish.
op in the Church and not a class Bishop, he
knows that practically his work would be
largely of the class kind, and that his time
would be practically spent among the people
of his own race. Still, Mr.. Hammond yery
eloquently and affectingly says that no
such distinction should be made in select
ing the Bishop.-It is not surprising
that a delegate on the Conference
floor, realizing the Importance of oc-
cupying the entire South and gathering
into the Church 100000 of colored
people, should have said, if it were the op-
portunity OF the Catholics they would put
fourteen colored Bishops in the field, if
necessary. He would give every encour-
agement to the development of Methodism
among the colored people. The decision of
the General Conference is certain to have
important bearings on the work in the
South, ana it can hardly afford to refuse
the demand made upon Two
men are ainbling to the front all
along the line of human occupations.
Law, politics. theology, medicine and the
sciences and fine arts have their represen-
tives OF the female sex. In ordinary voca-
tions, especially in shop-keeping and book
keeping, they are fairly crowding out the
superior beings in pantaloons and frock
coats.-And still they are not satisfied,
though soAe of them appear to be happy.
The Enquirer says: That was curious
spectacle in the United States Court on
Monday. A Judge whose Clerk is charged
with the gravest of crimes, committed un-
der the very eye of that Judge. and who is
himself, by the plea of the counsel, charged
with administering a mock oath where a
real one should have prevented the crime,

day night to buy barrel Of -four
or hundred bushels of coal,
and yet his aristocratic grand
father, who used to be banker, loaned
McShoddy's father the money to start a
peddler's cart, which laid the basis OF
the present McShoddy fortune, now over
million. What is there in common,
therefore, between John and his en-
ployer, or between his family in their

1t is curious to note, however, that
Washington, the distinguished man on
whom history has bestowed the proud
title of the Father. of His Country, was
originally country surveyor from an
obscure settlement in Virginia, but he
lived to be first in war, first in peace and
first in the hearts Of his countrymen.
We might add that Abraham Lincoln
whose niche in history is one of the
most ilustrious of modern times
was born country farmer and
his father had to file a bond
that his offspring should not become
a puplic charge, or paupers, before he was
permitted to enter wedlock. Gen. Grant
who in his recent circumnavig ation of the
globe, received more distinguished honors
from foreign nations and potentates,
than any person living, and who had
previously enjoyed the highest honors
that this country had to give, hauled
cord wood to the markets Of St. Louis
and worked at tanning in Galena in his
earlier manhood. We might

all who have intrinsic worth, the social

Meantime the McShoddys, like the
fly upon the wheel, imagine that they
are not only the salt but the saviors and
the directors of the social machinery Of
