The Luck Guinea.

An English journal gives this droll
incident in the history of the great
Coutts clearinghouse:
1t would be wearisOme to our readers
were we to trace out the history OF
this house through all its changes
suffice it to say that it has ever since
the time of Thomas Coutts retained its
high position, equaled by but very few,
surpassed by none of the banks in Lon
don. Amongits customers it has num-
b,red Lord Nithsdale. Pitt. Sir Walter
Scott. the Duke of Wellington. Lord
Chatham, Benjamin West, Charles
Dickens, etc.
There is a good tale told of one of
the prominent members of the Coutts.
family. Periodically Mr. Coutts used
to make visits to a town in the vicinity
of the country seat Of one of his mar
ried daughters. On these occasions he
had attracted the attention of a benev-
client old gentleman, who, noticing the
neat but somewhat worn apparel OF the
eminent banker, imagined that he had
most probably seen better day, but
that his financial position was certainly
not flouriehing.
The last time they met was Christ
mas-time, and the benevolent old gen
tlemen-no doubt warmed up with the
glowing prospect of Christmas festivities
dropped a guinea into the hands Of
Mr.. Coutts as nc passed quickly by him
bidding him a good dinner. Having
discovered the name of his benefactor
Mr. Coutts soon after invited lin 10
dinner. where he made himself known
to him. and, relating the anecdote to
his Gues., told them how he had the
guinea given him, and stated that he
meant to keep it. 1t is still preserved
and is called 1.-The luck guinea. .

November Marriages.

OF the twelve months in the year
November is reckoned in certain vii
lagos in Holland to be by far the most
important The four Sundays of this
month are known respectively as Re

chase Sunday, and Possession Sunday,
names Which sufficiently explain the
purposes to which each is put by the
young people. On the first Thursday
i'm December all the villagers turn out
in their best attire to be present at the
village fair and watch thes respective
couples perform the country dance
which is the invariable opening of such
events. On Review sunday the un-
married girls and young men after the
morning service walk up and down

of obtaining the consent of the parents

Eating Refore sleep.

1t is a common impression that to
take food Immediately before going to
bed and to sleep is unwise. Such a
suggestion is answered by a reminder
that the instinct of animals prompts
them to sleep as soon as they haNy
eaten; and in summer an afteg-siinner
nap, especially when the meal j. taken
at midday, Is a luxury INDUCED in by
many.
Neither darkness nor season Of the
wear alters the conditions. If the or
binary hour of the evening meal Is 6 or
Z O'Clock. and of the first morning
meal Z or s o clock, an interval of
twelve hours or more elapses without
food, and for persons whose nutrition
Is at fault this is altogether too long a
period for fasting.
That such an interval without food
is permitted explains many restless
night, and much of the head and back
ache. and the languid, half-rested con
dition on rising which IS accompanied
By no appetite for breakfast. This
meal itself often dissipates these sensa-
tons. 1t is therefore desirable, if not
essential. when nutriment is to be
crowded, that the last thing before 90
ing to bed should be the taking offood.
SleeplesSness i often caused by star
walton, and a tumbler of milk, if drank
in the middle of the night, will often
put people to sleep when hypnotic=
would fail of their purpose,

At st. James.

Geo. W. Smalley, the well known
American Correspondent in London,
writes as follows in recent letter:
What about the American minister"
''Oh, great deal about him if you
had room. We never had a minister in
England who has done his work better
than Mr.. Phelps. His negotiation of
the extradition treaty with Lord Rose
berry was the successful solution of
what had long been regarded rs an in
soluble diplomatic problem. Then
came his conduct of the fishery negotia-
tons, and the two together have given
him diplomatic reputation hard 10
match. The British foreign office dis
covered, with some amaZement, in this
Vermont lawyer a jurist capable of
handling broadly broad questions of
international law. His communica-
tons to the foreign minister, embOdy-
ing elaborate arguments on difficult
questions. are, know. regarded by the
official people at the F. OF. o. is
English for foreign officers papers of
most unusual weight and force. If 1
may use another English phrase, he
has .bowled over his English ADVERSE
ries on the Canadian business" sa1.S
How does he compare with Mr..
Lowell?'
That would be a delicate question.
if it were necessary to compare them.
But it is not 1t would be easier to
draw a contrast than parallel between
the two, and each would come ont of it
equally well.
Mr.. Lowell's popularity in England
is proverbial, but some of his country
men totally misunderstood his real re
lation to English society. They speak
of him as if he had made some sort of
concession to English sentiment The
truth is no American in England was
ever more American than Mr.. Lowell.
His patriotism was--well, | will even
say pugnaciOus. He was renowned in
England for aggressive Americanism.
| once heard an English lady say she
did not dare assert in Mr.. Lowell ;
presence that American women were
fond of candy. He would take up any
challenge, and he gave many. He
was liked, nay, beloved. in spite of his
disregard of some English Conventional
ties His winning manner and incom-
parable talk and sweetness of nature
enchanted the Englishmen-yes, and
the English women,
Mr.. Phelps has won his fame in a
different way. Not a whit less Ameri-
can than Mr.. Lowell, he has different
ways of showing it. He has many of
the qualities which the English admire
In emselves-dignity. reserve, force
and acertain restraint in speech-which
add weight to what he SAYS. Then. as
most things are known in London
drawing rooms. it is perfectly well
known that Mr.. Phelps has in his
official work held his own, and more
than held his own against their best
men. His speeches, too, have been
heartily liked And, since the wife OF
an American minister is public
