Thurlow Weeds Span of Life.

The late Thurlow Weeds life almost
spans the history of the country under
its present Constitution, says a New
York paper. He was born before
Washington died, and when Webster,
Clay and Calhoun were making theiI
regulations he had edited several coun-
try newspapers and fought in the bat
ties of his country. He was older
than Seward or Lincoln or Greeley,
and when Clay, Webster and Calhoun
were dead he had not entered upon the
most important part of his career. He
was alive when NapOleOn's star ap-
peared in the darkness of the French
revolution, and was already young
man when the battle of Waterloo was
fought. He lived and worked with
three generations of public men. Most
of the men who are now begin ming to
attract attention might have been his
grandsons. Benjamin Franklin died
seven years before Mr.. Weed was horn
The lives of these two journalists take
the world back into the reign of Louis
XIV. and beyond the birth of Fred
erick the Great. Another such would
very nearly reach the time of Shakes
peare.

The following is an interesting ac-
count of the manner in which the
greatest financial institution in the
world is conducted: The constitution
and government of the Bank of Eng
land are not fully understood. even by
many otherwise welEinfOrmed resi-
dents in the city of London itself. 1t
differs from most corporations in the
fact that it has no permanent COVER
nor nor chairman, and furthermore
that the remuneration paid to the di-
rectOrs for their services is individ-
ually small The governing body con-
sists of twenty-six directors, that is to
say, one governor. one deputy-gOver-
nor and twenty-fOur directors. This
body does not change except by death
or resignation, etc, but the governor
and his deputy, who act as chairman
and deputy-ehairman of the board or
court of directors. change every two
years, the deputy becoming gov
ernor and all the direct
ors being deputy and governor in TO
tation. The salary of the governor.
as well as that of the deputy governor,
is now 81, 600 per annum. while that
of the other twenty-fOur directors Is
$500 each. According to Francis.
whose history of the Bank of England
is practically out of print. the man
agement of the bank is vested in the
whole court of directors. which meets
weekly, when a statement is read Of
the position of the bank as regards its
securities, bullion and liabilities. The
directors have equal power. and should
majority disapprOve OF the arrange
ments they may reconstruct them.
Eight directors go out and eight come
in annually. elected by the court Of
proprietOrs. The list of candidate
recommended by the court Of
directors is transmitted to the
proprietors. and the eight 50
recommended uniformly come
in. When any person is pro
posed as a new director. inquiry is al
ways instituted concerning his private
character. Those who survive this
fiery ordeal, anu are approved Of by
the court of directors. never fail to be
elected. The qualifications for a di-
rector are the possession of bank stock
to the amount of $1,000. for the dep
uty-gOvernor. $4,000. and for the gov
ernOF, $4,000. The directors are re-
sponsible for the management Of the
affairs of the bank. and penalties are
attached to their office individually
and collectively on certain occasions
By their charter. however. they are
not answerable to the government fO1
the management Of the monetary de
partment, and the security which the
public has for a good administration
of affairs depends upon the discretion
of the directors. subject to the charter.

Ted's reach.
The next moment both boys were
grasping it, and began to draw them
in. 1t was an easy task, for the IN
coming breaker dashed them toward
the scow. AS soon as they were along
side the boys scrambled in and pulled
Moncheer in after them.
He rallied when we reached the
shore, and laughed once or twice gayly.
as the women, who had gathered on
the beach, crowded about him, crying
and praying to God to bless him. But
when he tried to stand ON his feet he
fell down helpless.
We carried him to his cabin and
sent for DR.. Debrett.
MOncheer beckoned to me as he lay
on the bed and asked for a pencil and
piece of paper, and then he scrawled
two or three words. 1t was telegram
directed to some one in Washington,
and written in French.

DR.. Debrett came in and he looked
up to him with gentle smile on his
poor, thin, old face. never saw him
alive again. That night he died.
The next morning. by the early
train, two gentlemen arrived and
hurried to Moncheer's little cabin. 1t
was said that they were men of rank
members of the French legation.
"We have found him at last" one
of them said to DR.. Debrett; "but
only when it is too late"
The story was whispered about in
Cedar Haven that Moncheer had given
up his little income in France and emf
grated, that his grandson might be
educated. marry and live in comfort.
1t was for this purpose that he had
hidden himself for years in Cedar Ha.
ven. do not know, even now, how
true the story was. But it is certain
that his body was sent back with great
ceremony to Bordeaux, and that the
members of the French lega-
tion. who superintendent the arrange
ments, paid the most profound respect
to his memory.
remember the quiet summer Sun
daywhen the village people went in a
funeral procession to the little cabin
to say goodbye to "Old Moncheer."
We boys came last, together. The
old man was dressed in a faded uni
form which had been stored away for
many years in his trunk. His white
hair was pushed back from his gentle
face
