"Kensington,"

Mrs. Julia Hawthorne has been writing
to Hd1pe''S Bdzdr describing the meth
DDS of work at the South Kensington
school OF art needle-work in London.
The designs for the school, she SAYS,
are made by the first artists in England
as a labor Of love, and the treasures of
antique needIe-work gathered together
in the South Kensington and other
museums are freely loaned for their
benefit. The ladies connected with it
are always on the search for new designs
or stitches, and modern work from j ap-
an, India, Turkey, and Greece is
brought over to aid their invention or
give them new hints in coloring. One
lady was engaged upon the last of eight
pairs of curtains, which have occupied
her for three years. These are for the
MUSHROOM Of large house in London,
and cost $500 a pair! The body of the
curtain is of dark blue velvet, the bor-
der of paler blue satin, with design
chiefly in applique work of two darker
shades of blue velvet, outlined in gold
bullion, and arabesqucd with gold
thread. The more delicate parts of the
design were in silks of various shades of
yellow. The gold thread used in the
school is all imported from Japan, that
being the only kind which does not
tarnsh. The gold bullion cord, which
is about the thickness of the largest
pipng-cord is, by late invention,
lacquered, thus preserving its bright
In another small room are the silks,
crewels, and gold threads used in the
work, arranged in shallow drawers,
Lady Gordon said, when we remarked
what a delight the colors alone gave,
that on foggy days, or when she felt de-
pressed, she had these drawers opened
for her, and the exquisite gradatons
and tones of color induced such
thoroughly happy state of mind that it
carried her triumphanty through the
day" This last touch is really delici-
Gus in its glimpse into the mental at
mosphere of British aristocracy.

THE FUNDING BILL.

President Hayes refused, wisely we
believe, to sign the funding bill as passed
ny congress. The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of
the bill, the one to which the president
specially objected was the fifth section
which was no part Of funding bill, but
was tackled on for some inscrutable pur-
pose known only to the representatives of
the people at Washington. Its becoming
law would have been unjust to the banks,
and through them disastrous to the coun-
try. A great many Of the national banks
favored the passage Of the funding bill,
without this section, we know the CITY
National bank of Cairo was among
those that favored its passage,
but under the fifth section
which as we before said is no essential
part of funding bill, very few if any new
national banks could be organized and
great many of those now existing would be
driven out Of business. The withdrawal Of
their circulation and winding up of the af
fairs of even part of them would not fail to
prove disastrous to the business of the
country.
No far sighted business men could have
done otherwise than the officers of the CITY
National Bank Of Cairo, and other national
banks have done, in withdrawing part of
their circulation and taking up their secur-
tiles before the moose formed by this 9Th
section should have tlghened into chok
ing condition, and yet no strictly business
transaction las been subject to greater
abuse by press and public.
The banks, as well as business men and
Legislators, see the necessity Of righteous
law for retunding the public debt soon to
tall due, but no one desires that it should
imperl or impair the usefulness of the
national bank system (and thereby defeat
its own purpose by deprlving them of the
privilege OF securing their circulation with
any kind of government bonds they may
elect and combining them strictly to the
cheapest as did the fifth section of the
bill which President Hayes wisely refused
to sign.

The Amateur Farmer
I dreamt of beautiful time

drcamt OF q beautiful time
When the world shall happy be-;
When the elephants and hyenas
Shall blossom on every tree.
When tamarinds and potatoes
Shall cease their dreadful roar;
When turnip trees shall blossom
In the garden for ever more.
dreamt of great republic
When the people shall all go West,
Sow plums and reap tomatoes
In the land they love the best;
When pig iron and molasses
Shall bloom on every hill,
And chickens low In the barnyard,
While gooscberries toll at the mill.
I'm weary of seeing the cabbage
Handle the rake and the hoe;
I'm weary of watching and waiting
For the grasshopper bush to grow.
i long for the time when spinach
Shall cope with bread and milk;
When hens shall lay potatoes,
And horses spin raw silk.
OH sweet were the vanished hours
When wandered down the glen,
And wrcathed my brow with toma toes,
Or plucked the ripcned hen;
When the donkey twned up the trcllis,
And the cucumber chirped In the grass,
And the sweet potato whistled
To It's mate in the mountain pass.
But gone are the days of childhood,
And manhood's dreams are mine;
Yet long for the by. gone hours,
AS sit meath this Turkish vine.
Oh! wreathe your blossoms about me,
And sooth my aching breast;
While gooseberry plaintively MARBLES
And lulls me into rest.
