How Bank Notes Are Made.

| -
Everybody may not know that the
government money is printed on pape,
made inDelton, a Massachusetts, town
i'm mill that has it's origin in colonial
times. "As the grayish pulp passes
between heavy iron rollers, bits of blue
and red silk thread are scattered owe,
its surface. From the pulp room to
the vaults, where it is stored until
shipped to Washington, it is guarded
and watched as though it were gold.
In small iron safes, like those used
by the express companies, the paper is
carried to Washington, where it may
be used Immediately or remain in the
vault for years. l,I l,CirT7
During the past year there were
printed by the government $4,000
900 worth of legal tender notes, $685.
100000 of national bank currency,
$97 100000 of bonds, $685. 900, 900
silver certificates, and 648, 459,615
stamps for the internal revenue. In
the bureau of printing and engraving
more than one thousand persons are
employed in wetting, plate-printing,
examining, pressing, numbering, sep
arating, binding, perforating and en-
craving. The bank note plates and
stamp dies are kept in vaults that re-
quire three mems time a quarter of an
hour to open. All the presidents
down to Garfield have been protrayed
on bank notes, and three vice presi-
dents, twenty four secretaries Of the
treasury, ten secretaries of states, six
secretaries Of war, three postmaster
generals and chief Justices have been
honered in the same way, besides
twenty six senators and representatives,
and a few other noted persons in
science and literature. The highest
denomination of legal tenders is $1O,-
900. The next is $4,000, and 81 900,
$500, $500, $50, 800, $50, SIS, $50,
81 follow. The highest value in ma
tional bank notes is $1,000. The
printing Of a bank note requires TWEEN
ty to twenty-four days, and during. the
process it passes through the hands of
tfty-two persons. = A woman in the
counting department has counted for

Mrs. Stewards Diamonds.

Notwithstanding the dry goods bus.

with her of late, it is gratifying to
know that Mrs. Stewart is in no i'm.
mediate danger of coming to want. At
Saratoga recently she led among all
the ladies by the number and size of
her jewels, and her diamond earrings
are probably the largest pair of
matched solitaires in this country.
They are considerably over half an
inch in diameter, of the most dazzling
purity and wilderness, and the flashes
of light that they admit are fairly
binding. With these $4,000 trifes

monds, moves with their perpetual
sparkle and flash Surrounding her like

The Rising Of the Nile.

Measuring from the cataracts of
Sayene,. where the Nile enters Upper
Egypt from Nubia, to the most north
emly points of the Delta, OF Lower
Egypt, there are about six hundred
miles of country, the settled population
of which is peculiarly dependent upon
the great river for very existence, and
every year swayed by hopes or fears as
the waters of the stream are sufficient
or scarce or too abundant. The wei
fare of the Egyptians is, in truth, IN
dmately bound up with the annual re-
eurrence of national phenomenon
known as the Rising of the Nile.
The river issuing from a valley few
miles north of Cairo, enters the low,
vide plain, which from its resemblance
to the fourth letter of the Greek alpha
bet, received from that people the name
OF the Delta. The stream divides
itself into two branches, that of Reset
ia or old Canopic, and that of Damlat,
or Phatnitic. The river at Rosetta Is
about 1900 feet wide, and at Damlat
nearly 500 feet. The rise of the Nile,
Occasioned by the periodical rains of
Central Africa, begins in June, about
the summer solstice, and continues to
increase until september, overlooking
the lowlands along Its course. Ihe
Delta then looks like an immense
marsh interspersed with numerous

ssThe War of 1885,"

The pamphlet entitled "The War of
1886, Between the United States and
Great Britain, lately issued in Lon
don, is exciting much attention. The
interest which it has excited is by no
means confined to army and navy Of
fcers, but is generally shared by pub
lie men. 1t is recognized as the clear
est presentation of our inadequate bor-
der and seacoast defenses yet made by
any of our writers or speakers. The
fact that it purports to be only a fancy
sketch appears to be lost sight of by
those who discuss it, so entirely plaus
ible and possible do all of it's positions
appear. To most it seems startling
presentation of the subject, and it
seems certain to attain it's evident OBJ
namely, to direct attention to the
weak spots of our national defense, or
rather, to our inter lack of effective
coast or border defense. 1t is exceed
ingly significant that the story of sup
posed events is not regarded as extrav-
agant, either with respect to possible
future attacks upon our lake cities or
those of the seaboard. a..t
The presentation of the need of a
thoroughly organized national militia,
and of preparing and keeping in order
the means of equipping it, is also re,
garded as conclusive. The general
verdict of the readers of the pamphlet
here is that the author. has rendered
timely public service, and with most of
our politicians in congress the problem
of the annual fertilization bill appears
to be how to keep it as low as possible,
in order to give better excuse for IN,
fiating the river and harbor bill. If
the friends of proper preparations for
coast and border defense will make
good use of the arguments of this con-
else and telling publication, they Will
certainly make more impression upon
congress than they have heretofore
succeeded in doing.-WashiHgtOH SPe-

says: II feel that should be governed by

of that will can be had in legal manner
that cannot be questioned. Such an
exression has been had. My individual
opinions were freely and fully stated on
the debt question while the matter was at
issue before the people. sought to have
another verdict from the one rendered, but
the people have spoken at the ballot box,
the only legitimate test of public opinion,
and while holding still to the view that for
Tennessee it would have been best other
wise, and hoping that the
wisdom of her sons in
assembling may yet so see it, I pevertha
less. in obedience to the overwhelm-
ing sentiment as legitimately expressed
that first another tender shall be made to
our creditors, have determined to not pay
interest falling due in January. As I re-
gard myself simply in my official capacity
as the agent of the people I therefore feel
it my duty to take no step in the premises
that may embarrass further this already
complicated question"

THE cIERK,s OFFICE.
Clerk Eell's Answer to the Criticisms o
Commissioners Krch.

Clerk Hell's Answer to the Criticisms of
Commissioners Krch.
A GLOBE reporter finding CLERK Bell of
the district court with a little leisure on
his hands tesyesterday afternoon, called
his attention to the following statement
made by County Commissioners Krch be-
fore the joint committee of the city coun-
Gil and chamber of commerce on legisla-
ton, Wednesday evening: ssThe clerk
OF the courts was paid too
much, getting $4,000 in fees,
when he only needed less men than he
had"
In response Mr.. Bell said the sentence,
as whole, was little blind, but as to the
direct assertion that the fees of his Office
was $4,000, he wanted to say that Mr..
Krch was mistaken. The total receipts of
his Office for the past year, he said, would
not exceed 1000, out Of which he would
have to pay at least $1,000 for clerk hire,
which sum would have to be considerably
increased was it not for extra work done by
himself after Office hours. When the court
was in session, which averaged two out of
every three months in the year, with the
three judges often sitting at the same time,
he had to furnish clerk for each, besides
providing one or two clerks for the reg
ular Office work. The fees received
were for actual work done, from the liti-
eating parties themselves, and in no way
a tax upon the county, the only expense to
the county Of his Office being So per day
for his personal services when in attend
ance upon the court, and the fee for jury
and witness certificates ordered by the
court. I am required to enter all real
estate tax judgments, and make three
copies thereof, for which the county re-
ceives 12H cents per description, not
cent coming to me. Ihave also, since in
the Office, entered some 300 personal tax
judgments, tie largest number ever entered
in the same time, for which receive no
compensation, while all other clerks in
the state get $1.5O for each entry. Then
there are entries for city county and state,
cases, among which are city assessment
cases, very numerous since my incumben-
cy of the Office, for which I receive moth
ing, the tho legal fees going into the treas
ury."
''In Short" said Clerk Bell, 81 invite the
closest scrutiny into the management of
the Office. It is a fee Office, and therefore
l have endeavored, as it was my interest to
ds', by extra work by myself end
ci-lks. to keep the expenses of the
office IS low as possible, at the same time
never allowing The work of tie Office to fall
behind. AS to whether the work of the
Office has been done well and promptly l
refer to the bar of the city, and will cheer
fully abide by their decision"
