In tho course of five years the paid
notes amount to 77,745. 600 in number,
and they fill 13,400 boxes, which, if
placed side by side, would reach two
and One-third miles. If the notes we're
placed in a pile they would reach to n
height OF five and two-third miles, or if
joined end to end they would form n
ribbon II, 445 miles long. Their super
ticlal extent is said TO be rather less than
Of Hyde Park. They weigh over ninety
and two thirds tons, and their original
value was over e1,750, 626, 600. The
| greatest of rogues might be inclined to
fad some comfort in the extent and
! lntlicacy OF such store of old paper
OF course, however, they are most sys-
tematically arranged, and any note of
the seventy seven millions may be
| pounced upon with the utmost celebrity
and precision. At the end of five years
these old notes are thrown into furnace
specially constructed for that purpose,
and burned. 1t is n curious fact, how
ever, that so firm in texture is the paper
of genuine Bank of England note that
burning alone can hardly destroy it.
l
frame the remnants of a note which was
in the great fire of Chicago. Though
completely chared and black, the paper
still holds together, and the printing on
the note is said to be sufficiently legible
to establish it's genulneness and to war
rant its being cashed.
There are some other notes here which
were cashed after having gone down with
the Eurydice few years ago and reduc-
ed to little better than pulp. Indeed,
the scraps and fragments which some
times come into the bank to be cashed
have really ridiculous appearance. On
the occasion of recent visit, for in.
stance, the officials had under examina>
ton number OF fragments of discoIored
piper, none much bigger than a SIX
pence, and when put together present
ing to The unskilled eye not the slightest
resemblance to note. And yet it was
pretty confidently asserted that the
paper would be cashed. 1t is beneath
the dignity of the Bank of England to
take, or even appear to take, advantage
OF accidents to their notes, and if there
is any possibility of establishing the
identity of one of them, it is sure to be
duly honored. Even where a note is
entirely destroyed, proper evidence of
the fact of destruction will be accepted
and payment made. A lost note will in
some cases be paid, and there is one
occasion recorded upon which the liberal
attitude of the directors in case of this
kind involved them in loss of e30, 900
A bunk director declared that he had
lost Il note for that amount, and upon
his giving an indemnity for the sum in
the event of the note ever turning up,
the money was paid to him. Many years
after his death M unknown person pre-
scented the missing note. The paper
was undenlably good, and the bank had
no alternative but to cash it, as it was
payable to bearer on demand, and as tho
heirs Of the bank director who had lost
it repudiated ali liability, the money
could not be recovered. London Globe. |

THE Arkansas Legislature has finally
rejected, by a vote Of SO to 33 in the
House, the proposal TO consolidate the
State with the Federal Congressional
and PresidentiaD elections. The mis-
take was in proposing to consolidate
these elections. Here in Mississippi,
the proposition is to hold them ON the
same day and at the same place, but
under different set of managers, thus
economising time and money, and avoid
ing intermeddling by federal super<

SENATOR BAYARD rises to the high
plane of craftsmanship in his discuss
sion of the Tariff question, We hope
all our readers will peruse the extract
from his speech in the Senate on the
31st ultimo. They are so pat to the
qnestion-so clear and withal SO
reasonable, and proper that they will
rivet attention and compel conviction.
In language simple enough to be
comprehended by the dullest intel-
lect, he describes how tariff reform
should be accomplished, and how
obstructive of just and beneficial
legislation is the demagoguery that
has cropped out in the struggle
among members who are pledged to
a plan of reform, to subserve class
and sectional interests. 1t there is a
rock on which the movement for
reduction of taxes will go to pieces,
it is the danger SO plainly depicted
in the remarks of Senator Bayard.-
