government bad inquired Of the company as to
the cost of tbs canal, AID the company had made
its statement-that was all It had presented
no account against the United States.
Mr.. ingalls, explained that the boards of
engineers had called on the company to make
up statement in order to ascertain what the
company would expect to receive in case the
government should decide to take control of the
work, and the company had made this state
ment, showing cost of $178000 The state
ment was fabricated. simulated and fictitious.
1t was made up almost wholly of estimates that
were formed after the proposition was made 20
buy the canal It consisted Of interest, COM
pounded, on stock that never was sold, OF
salaries that never were paid; but it did nat
state the amount that was received for the land.
Mr.. Miller remarked that the company might
have declined to present any account, and might
have required the government if it desired to
take possession of the canal to pay the value of
it. This great water way, this mate to the great
commerce of the lakes. ought to be now owned
and held by the government so that no tolls
should be levied that commerce. When the
government asked to be informed what the
canal cost. the company had very properly put
in the cost for the services of its officers. This
perfectly legitimate. These services were
fixed at very modest figure-$l. 900 year for
the president and ST ,0G0 for the secretary and
treasurer That was all there was in the oues-
ton.

iourned.

of his peculiar labors remain to be developed

century, preached to vast audiences in Antioch

Chrysostom was an immense success, and Jones

A STORY OF FREDERICKSBURG.

II was after the battle Of Fredericksburg;
The ground was strewn with the fallen foe,
They lay in ranks on tho side of the hill
With their front to us, and boy could
throw
A stone to the nearest rank, SO closo
Had they pushed their way to the frowning
edge .lfy
or our rifle pits in the last mad charge,
When they struck our lines like an angry
sledge,
And fought up under the very guns
Till the blue line wavered, and turned, and
broke,
And the stragglers sullenly disappeared
Behind the mantle of pitying smoke.
There was one tall man in the nearest rank,
So tall he had lowered above the rest
Az We watched him tearing the tattered flag.
He lay with rifle ball through his breast,
We thought him dead, but he turned at last,
And raised himself on his elbow there,
And looked down over the bloody field,
Then back at us N fierce despair.
We saw him tumble beneath his coat,
And feebly draw with shaking hand
A little package of letters stained
With use and tied with faded band.
He spread them out, and picked up one,
The smallest letter of oil the store,
We knew that his eyes were filed with tears
That botted the tiny packet DER.
He tried to read, but his head dropped low
On his breast, and his hand fell nervelessly
Blu; the stiffening fingers still kept their
grasp
On the words that his eyes could no longer
see.
A murmur ran through the rifle pits;
We watched him there from our sheltered
stand;
We fell to wondering whose hand had traced
Theletter he held in his big brown hand.
"His wife" said one; mo, his sweetheart,
boysl"
Said another, "His mother" said one whose
Was fresh and fair as girls; he dropped
His gun and clambered from out the place.
He ran to the dead mans side and raised
The hand, and there in childish scrawl
Was written, 81 love you, papa dear"
The hand had closed DER the rest, and all
That had cheered his soul in that lonely
place
Was the simple note of q little child.
And yet, it sweetened the taste of death,
For it seemed to me that the dead man
smiled.

An Old Bank Note.

The Oldest bank note probably in
existence in Europe is one preserved
in the Asiatic museum at st. Peters
burg. 1t dates from the year 1899
before Christ, and was issued by
the Chinese government. 1t can be
proved from Chinese chroniclers that
as early rs 2697 B. G., bank notes
were current in China under the
name of flying money" The bank
note preserved at st. Petersburg
bears the name of the imperial bank,
and number of issue, signature of q
mandarin, and contains even list of
punishments inflicted for forgery of
notes. This relic of 1000 years ago
is probably written, for printing
from wooden tablets is said TO have
been introduced in China only in the
year 160.
