Some idea of the magnitude of the
Bank Of England may be learned from
the fact that it covers five acres Of
ground and employs 900 clerks. The
bailding is amply protected againt
fire by large cistern sunk in the
courts and by engines kept in order
for immediate use. Light is admit
ted through open courts, there being
no windows on the streets, so that no
mob could force its way into the
structure except by using cannons to
batter down the great walls. The
bank was Incorporated in l649.

money. Reaching Rolling Fork creek
he found it swollen on account Of re-
cent rains. He then hired three me-
groes to help him across. While APP
parently making arrangements they
suddenly sprang on the unfortunate
man and ieled him to the earth. Rii-
ling the victims pockets the assasslns
found but 80 cents. lncesed, it IS
supposed, at not finding more, they
seized him by the throat and choked
him till life was extinct They then
tied stones to the corpse, weighing 1t
down, as they supposed, sufficiently to
carry il to the bottom Of the stream,
but it lodged in a drift below, where
it was found. The next day the news
was spread and a large body Of white
men soon gathered, and the tracks Of
The murderers were found After a
few hours pursuit one of the gang
was caught, brought back TO the ford

The President TODAY.

By another Of the series of fluctuations that
have marke4t Presidents case he is to-day
showing arally from the retrograde movement
of yesterday. While the improvement, or at
least the halt in the deteriorating process,
noted, may not afford groune for san guine hope
of his recovery it at least gives evidence that
he has considerable vitality left, after all the
enormous drain upon it, and he therefore has
still the one chance out of a hundred for life
that he courageously planted himself upon
when he was first shot. The people will look
forward with apprehension, however, to the
Presidents coming Black Sunday, that, judging
by the past will bring turn for the worse.
Should he get through tomorrow without loss
of strength hope will revive again
P.S.-Later dispatches report the President
as having suffered from rigor, or chill, and

1t is evident that his situation is alarmingly
critical.

The Blair letters, as they are now called, prom
ise to remain prominent issue of the political
canvass in Virginia. unless the alleged author
adopts more vigorous measures than he has so
far to prove them forgeries. The testimony Of q
few partisans. one way or the other carries no
conviction to the mind Of the unprejudiced per-
son. For every readuster who will swear that
the letters are forged no doubt democrat can
be found to offset that oath with another that
they are genuine, and probably the atlantis on
both sides would honestly believe that they
were telling the truth Such testimony Is
nothing more than the opinion of the wit
ness. If the letters are forgeries they were
conceived and executed with the purpose of
doing Blair great injury. and certainly the law
can reach the parties guilty of the forgery. 1t
clearly seems to be the duty of Capt. Blair to
put the machinery of the law in motion. If he
does not, nobody will. Wilson, having produced
the letters. and having declared that he received
them in due course of mail, is the person against
whom the suit should be directed. The result
OF the case would necessarily turn upon the
gerulineness or falsity of the letters and there
fore alTthe testimony of every character having
any bearing upOn this question would be pro-
duced- As the matter now stands, every man
is free to decide for himself whether or not the
letters are genuine. He can elect to believe
either Blair or Wilson, just as his feelings may
prompt. for as the case rests it is simply ques-
ton of veracity between these two.

After entering the church the first OBJ

Christmas Tree, which was covered
with presents amounting to $3.50 or
5000. We shall not attempt to enumer

well selected and many of them costly.
After calling to order it was announced
that there would be pair of very hand

with oysters, and everything desirable
in the provision line. Supper over, the
next announcement was the taking Of
the presents from the Tree, IN which the
audience appeared to take much inter-

pleasure. The incomes amounted to
about $40 90. After deducting expenses
the remainder is to be applied in the in

The LAEDING AMERICAN NEWSPAPER
The New York Tribune for 1881.
THE LARGEST CIRCULATION AMONG
THE BEST PEOPLE.

DURING the past year The New York Tri-
bune reached the largest circulation it ever
~ attained, with the single exception of
short period in the first Lincoln campaign. 1t
is larger circulation, and more widely distri
buted over the whole country than any ever en-
joyed by any other newspaper in the United
States. This fact may be taken as the verdict
of the American People on the The Tribune's
political force, it. fidelity to sound principles,
and its merits as 4 newspaper.
For 1881, The Tribune will try to deserve
equally well of the public. What and how much
it did for the success of General Garfield it is
content to let earnest Republicans tell. 1t now
hopes to give to his Administration discrim-
mating support as effective its efforts for his
election.
The Tribune will labor for, and it confidently
expects the incoming Administration to pro-
mote, a free and fair suffrage, South and North,
sound money, protection to Home Industry
judiciOus liberality in Internal Improvements,
and Civil Service conducted on business prin-
ciplss, on the theory of elevating, not of ignOr-
ing or degrading politics.
Every citizen who helped to bring in this Ad-
ministrstion should watch its course The
events to be recorded in The Tribune for 1881
will therefore have peculiar interest The
year promises besides to show whether the SOuh
will still sacrifice everything to solidity; and
whether the Democratic party, after twenty
years of dislOyalty and defeat, will dissolve or
reform. Abroad it will show whether England
can compose Ireland; whether the Republic in
France, without the support of the leaders who
established it, can stand alone; whether the
Turk can longer pOllute Europe. In Science it
promises such practical triumphs as the use OF
electricity for gas, new modes of heating, and
new forms of power in place of steam. In Lit
erature and Art it offers the very flower of our
nineteenth century develOpement; in Religion,
4 concentration of force, and union Of organiza-
tions on simpler creeds and better work
| No intelligent man will be willing to live
through the year without reading of these things
and we will be wise to look for them in the journ-
al which has long enjoyed the dstiction of the
largest circulation among the best people. This
position The Tribune secured and means to re-
tain by becoming the medium of the best thought
and the voice of the best conscience of the time
by keeping abreast of the highest progress, ,fav-
oring the freest discussion, hearing all sides, ap-
pealing always to the best Intelligence and the
purest morality, and refusing TO cater to the
tastes ofthe vile or the prejudices ofthe ignorant
The Well-knOwn special features of The Tri-
bune will be sedulOusly maintained. Its Agri-
cultural Department will remain the fullest and
best. The Household and Young Folks De-
partments, the literary scientific and religious
features, the standard market reports, will all
be kept up, and, as opportunity offers, extended.

words and wicked acts, whsre We had
intended kind words and loving smiles.
Where We had thought to fird a flower,
there is only a bud.
What an eveDtful year the past has
been to many of us. Through what
scenes of trials, privation. suffering and
peril many of us have passed. Shadows
have darkened our once happy hopes.
Misfortunes, bereavements, sorrow and
care have come upon us. And amid it
all, how have We been sustained and
borne over the quick-sands of despair.
But where and under what circum-
stances will another year find us? Per
haps among the dead All, yes; and
how Indifferent we have been acting, as
though We defied death and the One who
gave US this life, and in a moment can
take it away. But we forget the future
our minds are carried back to the past.
Now we are living over the scenes of our
childhood. How yividly the dulcst days
are portrayed upon our memory. Al

covered over with the SHOWS of age,
there are golden hours, which we can
never forget. In our imagination we

they have not taken the memory of those
loved forms and faces. Yet the past
however blissful, few would wish to live
over again. The future alone remains
for us, blessed gift. with its joys and
benefits, wrapped up in its mantle, and
it rests with us to realize the good we
may accomplish, the sunshine we may
diffuse, and the sad hearts that can be
made bright and better for our having
lived.
Let us each one do all we can, and
when our life's work is done find a home

did it unto one of the least of these my
brethren, ye did it unto me-"
