ENGLAND HOPES FOR PEACE.

Lord Salisbury's Speech at the Minis
terial Banquet.
LONDON, July 31.-Lord Salisbury speak
ing at the annual ministerial banquet at
the Mansion house this evening, said that
England's aim in foreign affairs was always
peace with honor. The thunder clouds Of
war still overcast Europe. Concerning the
immediate danger of a conflict he regarded
the vast preparations that had been
made as q great security for peace The
issues involved in was would be SO fright
fui that nations shrank from challenging
each other. The events in Egypt did not
menace toe permanent prosperity OF that
country. The disorder on the frontier
into engagements not to abandon Egypt
her own government in the face of foes,
and these engagements England would
assuredly fulfill.
CRETE's TROUBLES.
Referring to Crete, he did not consider
that there was any need to fear that the
present movement would lead to European
disturbances He repudiated the remotest
desire of seeing England i'll possession of
Crete. The reports current TO that effect
throughout the continent were with
out foundation. Referring briefly to
Ireland, ne held that the result of the gov
ernment's action was the bringing of order
and prosperity throughout the country, and
that If any section of peasaAtry believed
that their interests lay rather in defying
than in obeying the law, that illusion was
rapidly disappearing.

A CURIOUS $40 BILL.


|
Another curiosity in the shape Of na.
tioual bank note currency has come into
the possession Of s. H. Wickham Of SSS
Lexington avenue. The note ia of the
800 denomination, having its back printed
upside down. Il is Of the series Of 1880,
and is comparatively new, having been but
little in circulation.
There is no doubt about lie genuineness,
as iS has passed through the hands Of sew.
eral Of the most prominent bank note ex-
perta in the city without question. Mr..
Wickham, accompanied by = reporter,
successfully passed il upon the teller of the
Seventh national bank, corner of Broad.
way and John street.
"Will you pelase tell me whether that
bill is goodP" inquired Mr., Wickham Of
the teller, spreading the bank note before
him on the counter. The teller adjusted
his glasses and carefully SGutinized the
bill on both sides.
There is no doubt about it," ha re-
piled. Apparently he did not discover the
mistake Of the treasury bureau, for he
handed the note back without comment.
He was requested to examine the bill
more carefully and compare it with a 500
bill Of the same issue. He did 80 and at
once discovered the error. Astonishment
WIS depicted upon his face, and he was
obliged To confess that he had never seen
4 national bank note like it.
Mr.. Wickham then submitted the bill to
a similar test at the Chemical and City
banks, the Third national and the German.
American national banks and in each case
the paying tellers pronounced the bill gen.
uine, and were not little slow in diseov.
ering that the back was printed upside
down. None Of the cashiers had ever seen
a note Of the kind before, and were great.
ly puzzled 10 know how the note got into
circulation.
Mr.. Wickham received the bill from the
cashier Of the Hong Kong and ShanRha
banking corporation, where he is employed
as clerk. The firm in turn received the
bill from the City bank in the usual order
Of their banking system. 1t waa by tbs
Olerest accident that the error of the treas
ory officials was discovered.
The cashier Of the Hong Kong and
Shanghai banking corporation is very me
thodIcal in his business transactions and in
handling currency notes he IS exceedingly
careful to have the face of the bills turned
toward him. After counting a pile o.
bills one way he usually turns them ovel
and counts them the other way. In thil
manner he discovered that one bill was up
side down, and upon closer inspection he
found it was printed that way.
Wickham's attention was called to the
matter, and quick to see good thing. be
proposed to the cashier that he be allowed
to take the bill, substituting from his own
pocket another of the same denomination.
The cashier made no objection, aud Mr..
Wickham does not regret the transaction.
Since then several parties have been neRo-
tiating to buy the bill, offering fancy
prices several tmea in excess Of Its intrin.
sic value.
Mr. Wickhnm has refused all these of.
fers. He thinks if bill stamped 800 on
one aide and $40 on the other is worth
81, 900 his currency note with the back
printed upside down is worth several humid
red dollars.

their consent to the same, and Cnle1 ia,

TWENTY-FIVE horses and carts n
over fifty men are engaged, ana
it would not be necessary to con-

from the bay to the east side OF the Cen

the opinion that before this two miles OF
track are completed the executive officers
OF the two roads would have a conference
and that the consent of the Central would
no doubt be obtained. One thing he
could say, and that was that there was no
disposition on the part of the officers OF
the new road, and never had been, to I'M

no antagonism whatever on the part OF

AROUND THE KITCHEN.


Something's which Housekeepors Would
DO Well to Remember.
Soak wooden bowls in cold water so
as to completely cover them and let
them dry slowly, to prevent their
cracking when first used.
In summer il is essential that all
garbage pals and other dishes used to
contain refuse food from the kitchen
should be emptied daily and rinsed out
with cold water after emptying. Scald
out all such pals once a week with
boiling hot soda and water. All
brushes used about the sinksshould be
washed out with soda suds at least
once week.
The care Of the refrigerator is Of the
greatest Importance in summer, when
a bit OF meat or some other food may
lodge in the corner and taint the en-
tire contents. 1t is a dangerous practice
to connect the waste-pipe Of the re-
frigerator with the drain, but II 1t Is
desirable to carry of the water in
this way pipe in the lower part Of
the pan receiving the waste water
may lead to some pipe well trapped and
ventilated, and connected in this way
with the general sewage pipe. 1t is a
miserable makeshift to lead this pipe
into the ground, and refrigerator so
drained is sure to become musty in
odor
Remember that dampness is sure
forerunner Of disease in some form. A
damp cellar is especially dangerous. A
good coat OF whitewash, with plenti-
full supply Of lime left in corners, will
do more to keep a cellar dry than al
most any thing else. When there is an
unusual number of flies about any prem
ises 1t Is sure sign that these useful
little scavengers are needed. Do not
use fy-traps to lure them into the house,
but search the premises to see what
brings them. II you find every thing
scrupulously clean you may be sure
that they come from a neighboring
stable or some uncleanly kitchen or q
number of sources outside your own
premises. Use wire doors; keep all
food covered when not on the table;
clear of all tables as rapidly as posi-
BILE, and leave no invitation for them
anywhere about. Darkened rooms in
daytime and open windows at night
will offer almost perfect immunity from
heat and flies. IN. Y. Tribune.

1t is too evident to need discussion
that the saloon interest of this State is
aligned with the Democracy. The Re-
publican party as party has not been
sntagonizing the liquor interest save in
the way of wholesome restriction, and
that not to an extent satisfactory to
many adherents of the party. But the
time is surely here now, and that time
forced by the saloonists themselves for
a direct antagonism OF the whole liquor
interest by the Republican party. No
law defying organization should receive
q moments toleration.

England's Quick-Firing Guns.

So astonishing are the results whcih
have been obtained from the 4.7-inch
quick-tiring gun that it promises to SUI
persede the ordinary 5-inch and 6-inch
breece-loaders. The Trafalgar and
Me, now completing at Portsmouth,
were originally intended to carry a
secondly armament of 6-inch guns;
but it has now been determined to
provide them with the same number
Of quick-frers, and workmen are en-
gagged in altering the ports. While,
again, the Medea mounts six 6.inch
breech-loaders, the modified Medeas to
be laid down will have only two guns
of this nature and six 4.7-inch quick
firing guns. The Barham, Barrosa,
Barracuda, Blanche and Blonde will
be entirely armed with the new guns;
and as set of four carriages for the
same weapon has been dispatched from
Portsmouth for the merchant steamer
Teutonic. completing at Belfast. there is
every probability Of the 4.7-ich pattern
of gun being adopted for the mercantile
marine. The difference in the compar-
alive rates OF fire between the present
breech- loading service ordnance and
of the new guns confers an important
advantage upon the latter, more espe-
cially in staving of a torpedo attack,
while their power of penetration is so
great that nothing but an armor-clad
can Withstand the hail Of projectiles
they are capable of tdischarging. =
