The Printing of Money.

The Bank OF England note is printed
on Irish linen water-lined paper, plain
white, and with ragged edges. The
notes are five inches by eight in Ginen-
sions. They reissued by the
bank, but burned as soon as taken in.
In sending money from one part OF the
country to another the note is gener.
sent IN separate envelopes. The bank
OF Ireland note is in appearance and
size much the same, with the addition
of more elaborate scroll work in the
engraving. German and Austrian
currency bear upon each bill a warn
ing against counterfeiting, threatening
penitentiary to any one who shall
make, sell or have in their possession
any counterfeiting orfac smile Of any
OF the notes. The German are printed
in green and black. They are in de-
nominations from 5 marks to 1000,
marks. The currency Of Austria is
printed in two languages, Austrian
on one side and Hungarian on the
other, in order to accommodate his
Majesty Francis Joseph's Magyar sub
jects. The engraving is profuse with
artistic angel heads and rather elab-
crate scroll work. The note is print
ed on q l~ight-colored thick paper.
Some OF the more recently issued
German notes, however, are printed
upon paper very similar to that used
for United States Treasury notes.
The smallest denomination in Aus
trian currency is one form. The
denominations are from one form to
1000 t1orins. A noticeable peculiar
ity is the fact that in exchanging, Aus
TRANS or Hungarians prefer the paper;
money of their own country to coin,
while German, Swiss, or French peo-
pie invariably want coin in preference
to currency. The reason for this is
not known, unless it is because the
smallest note in Austrian currency is
much smaller than the smallest note
in the currency of the other countries,
and the common people become more
used to handling currency than in the
others.

The Drummer Talked too Much,

An ambitious young commercial
tourist living in one OF the cities on
the middle Hudson became acquainted
with a young lady attending a we'll
known seminary, whose father is an
influential citizen of one of the Wash
lngton county towns, and is reputed
to have a solid bank account. Hav-
ing progressed in his acquaintance
with the young lady so far as to seek
and receive an invitation to visit her
az her home during her school va
cation, he essayed to risk the danger
that might attend his reception at
the paternal domicile. Having en-
gagged the fastest trotters and the nat
test turnout Of the village liveryman,
our tourist set out.
The ride was about six miles, and
after hehad journeyed about halfthat
distance he overlook apedestrian and
inquired If he was ION the right road
to Mr.. Smiths farm house?" Receiv-
ing an affirmative reply the drummer
asked the farmer to ride. The latter
got in the buggy, and as soon as he
was seated the Young man pulled out
his flask and asked his new made friend
to imbibe. 1t was declined, and the
prohered cigar elected the response
that he neither drank liquor nor
smoked nor chewed tobacco. To this
the sharp young mar reioined by
avowing his belief that there never
was a man but what was addicted to
some OF the vices. Meeting with no
contradiction on this topich inquired
OF the stranger if he knew Mr.. Smith
and his standing in the community.
YES" replied he, II know him very
we'll, and l think he is quite fair with
his townsmen."
He's well hooked up, amt he?"
"Wl-l, he owns n ofthe beet farms
in the town, and he prides himself on
his stock"
"He has a daughter?"
Yes, three of them"
"Well, | mean the one that is at
school in -, l have met her and
am invited by her to call and spend
the evening.
"Ah, is that so? She is an excellent
girl"
"Well, she is clear mashed on me,
and intend to do my level best to
marry her and get a share OF the old
man $ money TO set me UP III bust
ness. Don't you think that q bright
business idea?"
"Well, as | said. she is q good girl
and one that loves her father dearly,
and obeys him in everything. You
could not obtain herhand without her
fathers consent"
"1.ll see about that. I'd give more
to obtain the daughters than the old
mans consent" replied theimpetuous
but undiscerning young fellow.
At this moment they were ap.
preaching a stately farm house, and
as they reached it's front the farmer
said: 81 live here and will get out, il
you please"
The commercial man gently halted
the trotters, and, as the old gentleman
reached the ground, he said to him.
Now, how much further is it to Mr..
Smith's?"
81 am Mr.. Smith, sir" replied the
farmer, sternly, land you IAN drive
on, for | will not permit you to step
on my premises"

A Burmese Fairy Story,

FAIRY tales are popular among them,
and there is one which comes from
over the border in Siam which was
told us by a Siamese. The exagsera.
tions all hang together artistically and
are in the same key ash were: "There
was once a king who heard that there
was an enormous giant in a far
country, and he declared that he should
never rest until he had a hair OF the
giants head. So he sent his fleet, and
they sailed and they sailed and they
sailed for weeks and weeks and weeks,
and at last one day in the afternoon
it became suddenly dark and they
stuck fast and could get neither for.
ward nor backward. Now the fact
was that they had got inside a hole in
a sort Of carrot, the smallest vegetable
in the giants kingdom. And behold
the next morning the giants children
went out to fish, and as they went
they picked up two or three elephants
on their way for bait, but they were
only able to catch q few OF the
very smallest fishes in the country
Something equivalent to your min.
nows' (siad the narrator). And as
they were going back they saw the car.
rot growing by the waters edge, and
pulled it up to put it into the curry,
and inside it was the whole fleet. AIT.
er they got home the giant threw the
fish and the carrot into the pot in or
der to boil them, when the fleet rose
out of the root to the top OF the wa
ter with all the men in it. What are
those curious insects?' said the giant,
peering down into the pot. Then
came a good deal more, which the mar
rator had forgotten. The men tried
to shout to the giant and tell him
what it was they wanted, but their
voices were too weak, and he could
not hear a word they said. A tlength he
lifted them upto his earin his hand. and
a whole boats crew marched in at the
hole and went yer such long way up
inside, and then they all shouted to-
gether and told him they had come
from their king to ask him for a hair
OF his head. So atlast he was able to
hear what even then seemed to him
only a whisper. Unlike his kind, the
giant was apparently as goodnatured
as he was big--he gave them the hair,
lifted them back to the sea, where the
hair, when put on board the fleet,
nearly sank it, after which he pulled
out his cheeks and gave a tremendous
blow, which carried the fleet straight
home hundreds of miles at one co.

Belle and ShOpkeeDer.

From a New York Letter.
No fun was in the reDulse by a belle
at the Orthopedic ball, OF a Young
man who there renewed a slight &C
quaintance with her. This was q
charity affair, and had distinguished
characteristic. Hitherto on occasions
OF festive philanthropy the lines be-
tween the self-constituted aristocrats
and other respectable folks had been
relaxed for the sake OF the cause, and
the proudest Astor matron or maid
condescended to mingle with ordinary
mortals; but this time it had been
ordered that the incest circumspec-
ton be used to make an exclusive as
sembla9e. and each purchaser OF q
ticket had been critically considered
by a committee of society DANES.
Somehow or other, however, a retail
tradesman got in. He looked all right
in his faultless evening dress, his char.
acter was above reproach and he was
a. tigure OF grace as he leaned one ell
bow dawdlingly on a fowerstand
while he politely said, good evening"
to the daughter OF a first family. She
identified him with an inward spasm
OF horror, for she had bought shoes OF
him many o time and oft; but out
wardly she was calm and very cool,
while he lost a little of his self. posses
sion us he fumbled with a dancing
card and pencil.
"Ah!" said the girl, with the slight
est possible elevation of her eyebrows
and u steady gaze OF mild impudence
into his flushing face, "have you
brought your bill to me here? That
really seems very urgent, but if you
need the money l will have papa pay
you"

AFTER n BALI.

She counts her conqnests all as naught
s. Before this browning one
The love that seemed to come unsought,
Like spfendors of the un;
I And every word he spoke tonight
Is craven on her brain
In letters Of auroral light,
Forever to remain.
She lays her lips upon the hands
His fervent lips have kissed;
All Ger her clear eyes as she stands
There comes a happy mist.
What was her charm in form or face
Der Others at the ball
hat, he should do her such q grace
As choose her mid them all?
She casts her shining silks aside,
And robes her for her rest;
Her only dream till morning tide,
He loves me-loves me best"
O, virgin faithl O, face so sweet
o, heart that pulses true!
Will amy mars heart ever beat
As loyalty for you?
he leaves the ball, but not Tor rest,
And not for faithful dream;
Life needs, it seems, another zest
Who're Lais reigns supreme.
Fill high the beaker with champagne,
And crown the board with flow'rs;
A husband may not know again
Snch gay Bohemian hours.
Not his tho love that lives for aye,
Not his the loyal troth;
His passion lasts . Summer day,
He swears a traitors oath.
So take the mortal mid the strife
OF Hymeneal plans.
That love is all a womnn's life,

intimidating and absolutely controll-
ing they SD neutralize their opposition,
that it amounts to little or nothing.
Every man knows these facts who has
examined the situation even but cas-
ually.
Under such condition OF affairs
what is the duty of people opposed to
the traffic? Can they passively and
quiety submit to see:the;r best represent
ative men pushed aside at the nominal
ing conventions, or If nominated
slaughtered at the polls. and they con-
tinue to vote for the liquor alliance
candidates without q murmur, because
such candidates have been forced on to
their ticket?
This cowardly course is exactly what
has brought the third, or prohibition
party into such prominence in a num-
ber Of northern Ind western states, and
is building it up rapidly in the southern
states. To suppose that tens of thous-
ands of the best citizens Of the country
will submit to be thus controlled po-
litically by the combined liquor inter
eat. when thev are made acquainted
with the situation, is a delusion. The
dread which our stronger and most
Jealous party men have of the aggres-
sive new party cannot be realized in
fact. except by their refusal to assert
thei- manhood and independence, in
voting constantly for candidates of
pledged opposition to the reign of the
rum power IT they vote against pro-
hibition and for license on the End of
November next, in sufficient numbers
to defeat the amendment and install
the reign of licensed liquor selling
again in Cecil county, then the dread
ed ''third party" will confront them
from the hour the polls close. The
steady going, thinking people of both
parties are determined to give those
parties fair chance to deal with the
liquor question, and the moment they
are satisfied that the whiskey combi-
nation is too strong for their old organ
izations to control, they will take mat
ters in their own hands. This is the
hand writing on the wall which re-
quires no Daniel to interpret.

The license party arc growing small
by degrees and beautifully less.
Two members ofthe 'high license"
delusion lad the scales removed from
their eyes at Rowlandville on Tues
day evening last under the powerful
appeals of Rovs. Hill and Barrett
and openly confessed their conver-
ton to prohibition. People need only
to be enlightened on this subject to
become unanimous in their opposi'
ton to licensing and setting up sa'
looms in the county. And then q
little more public spirit infused into
them and they will put ont and run
out every jug sneak in their neighbor

Organizing.

The whiskey power is organizing.
On Monday last a Convention of
brewers, distillers. whole sale and re.
tail wine, spirit and beer dealers was
held in Chicago for the purpose Of
forming a National Union whose
object will he to oppose the advance
mcnt of prohibition sentiment, and
prevent laws from being enacted and
enforced against the liquor traffic.
Or as the "Ca = for the convention
puts it. take action that will repel
the accusations and check the public
sentiment hostile to our legitimate
business and our rights-a sentiment
that has been voiced in State and ev-
en- in National Conventions, and
that has given shape to organizations
too determined and too aggressive to
be ignored

Prohibition in Railroad Companies.

It is significant fact that no railroad
company or large manufacturing es-
tablishmcnt will allow a drop of liquor
to be sold on the premises they have
control over. The railroads first bu 1t
established saloon in every important
station, but experience soon taught
them that the apparently immense rev.
enue derived from them was far out
weighed b. the expense, waste aud de-
struction they caused, and the saloon
was banished from every railroad
station in the country. Railroad COM
panies have long since established total
prohibition laws which are enforced
rigidly among their employees. The
companies compel their thousands of
emplovesDto obev this prohibition statute
and prohibition prohibits, every where
under the corporations jurisdiction
Can county or STATE not enforce laws
that railroad company can?

Politics and Whiskey.

1t is we'll known fact-in fact the
liquor men in convention publicly
proclaim it themselves-that they op-
pose and use every effort to defeat all
candidates, without regard to what
party they belong, who will not stand
up for the whiskey interest BY this
means and this practice thev are enab =
1ed to a large extent, to control the
candidates and actions of both political
parties. Those they do not succeed in
