LOST BANk-NOTES.
One of the Great Sources of Income of tn,
tank of England.

One of the Great Sources of Income of the
Bank of England.
There is one fate which befalls a
bank-note that no one as yet seems to
have noticed, not even the lynx-eyed
Chancellor of the Exchequer. What is
TO be said, or left uusaid, about all
those bank-notes which, going out
month by month and year by year
from the Bank of England, never re-
turn? How many go down in ships TO
the bottom OF the sea? How many
perish in the fires of great cities. or
are buried with living men and women
in yawning CULTS by earthquakes?
Some, il is on record, are cast into the
fire in "A feminine fit OF temper, or used
in vulgar ostentation by rich cox
comb to light his own or Il friends
cigar. Who shall say how many Of the
lost notes are not eaten by rats or
mice, or torn to shreds in play by Tim
othy, the winsome catp How many are
swept into the sewers of our big cities,
or into the cutters of the streets, washed
out of all semblance of their original
form and beauty All these destroyed
or missing notes. representing gold
which has never been demanded, are
pure profit and gain TO the Bank OF
England. The immense value OF this
gain is known TO the Bank of England
only. The outstanding notes for a
century and more are recorded in its
books and ledgers. q, we gods and
Radicals! what an amount OF sun
earned increment falls TO the bank
from these unclaimed notes, bearing
on their face the promise TO pay on
demand" so many hundreds and hun
dreds of thousands of pounds! Whisper
it not in Downing street; breathe it not
at St Stephens.
1t has long been rumored that the
palm Of Mr.. Goschen's hand itches after
some Of what the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer considers untaXed or insult
ficiently-taxed profits of the Bank OF
England. But the Bank of En-
gland is not an institution TO
be lightly touched or trihed with.
1t is beloved of men. 1t is the out
ward and visible sign of the coun-
try's wealth. 1t is not only respectable
itself. but it confers responsibility on
all connected with it, The holders OF
Consols-even of mere "Goschens"-
are among the elect of mankind. Its
stockholders are princes to be wor-
SHIPPED from afar. What is the wealth
of Ormuz and of Ind compared to that
of the Bank OF England? 1t is the
temple in which the Golden Calf is set
up for worship In the heart OF man
alas, that it should be so!-the bank
note (the image in our day OF the
Golden Calf reigns supreme. 1t puts
even woman's love in the background.
The Bank of ngland-especially as
regards its gold and bank-note depart
ments, where the outward and visible
signs Of wealth may be looked at and
touched-draws the hearts of men from
far and wide. Although its outward
structure is uncouth and mean, TO the

Teaching Frugality.

The wealth Of Holland and the
great commercial prosperity OF that
country about 200 years ago were
built up by a parsi monious frugality,
which for a long time marked the
character of the Dutch. This habit
gave place to luxury when wealth
had been secured. The clergy used
/ to rebuke the acknowledgements,
and a French writer tells how sue
ce ssful business man taught his fel-
lows a lesson:
Before retiring from business and
taking leave OF his friends in the city
he invited them to dine with him.
| The guests, on arriving at his resi-
dence, were surprised to see the ex-
traordinary preparations that had
been made for their reception. On
plain oak table, covered with blue
cloth, were some wooden plates,
spoons and drinking vessels. Pres
| emily two old seamen brought in
dishes containing behring's some
fresh, others sailed or dried.
Of these the guests were invited to
partake; but it was clear that they
had little appetite for such poor fare,
and, with considerable impatience,
they awaited the second course,
which consisted of salt beef and
green's This, also, when brought in,
they did not seem to relish.
At last the blue cloth was removed,
and one of fine white damask sub
stituted and the guest were agree
ably surprised to see a number Of
servants, in gorgeous iveries, enter
with the third course, which consist
ed OF everything necessary to form
a most sumptuous banquet. The
master Of the house then addressed
his friends in the following terms:
"Such, gentlemen, has been the
progress of our republic, We began
with short frugality, by means Of
which we became wealthy; and we
end with luxury, which will beget
poverty. We should, therefore, be
satisfied with our beef and greens,
that we may not have to return to
our herrings,' Youth's Companion.

Rs ilroad Wrecks In Iowa.

A wreck occurred on the Chicago, st. Paul
& Kansas City road about two miles north
Of Dubuque. The Grand Army had been
holding a picnic at Twin Springs, resort
about thirteen miles from Dubuque. Over
five thousand people were in attendance,
trains being run every hour to and from the
grounds. The carrying accommodations of
the railroad company consisted of two
co aches, two stock cars, seated, and nine
cabooses. In these cars 5000 people were
being brought home again when the accident
occurred. The excu rsion train had landed
1900 people at Dubuque and was returning
for the mainder of the crowd, which CON
sisted Of about 1000 men, women and
children, when it colliled with a freight
train en- route to Dubuque.
& 1t is admitted that one man, a brakeman
named Corrigan, was instantly killed and
three Others seriously injured. A large num-
Der of people on the excursion train were go
ing up to pass a few hours in the resort. in
tending to return on the late train, and it is
believed many people were killed. The wreck
occurred at point not accessible by wagon
road and nothing further can be learned I'M
til the return OF the physicians and officials
who have gone to the scene ofthe disaster.
One serious feature of the affair was
that about 1900 people, many of them
women and children, we're compelled to re-
main over night on the grounds without
shelter or sufficient raiment to protect them
from the chilly night air. No satisfactory
reason for the accident has been assigned 1t
is thought to be the result ofcarelessness
On the same day. the Chicago. Burlngton&
Quincy passenger train going west and the
rear section of Freight No. u going east
collided at Cooks Crossing, two miles
east of Fairfield. The passenger consisted OF
six coaches full of excurtionists and the
freight was a double header with thirty -four
| cars OF freight and stock running thirty
miles an hour. They met on long curve
All three engines reversed, and put on ali

WHO KILLED THE FAIR.

What the Stockholders say and
what the Directors did.
The refusal of the city council to
grant the franchise asked for by the
Land and Improvement company,
compelled the directors of the Fair
association to take same action. A
meeting was held yesterday at $50
p. m. in which the directory was
fully represented, only three long
absent. A full discussion of matters
was held. The whole ground was
gone over. A business statement was
made showing the expenses of the
fair, all of which had been carefully
estimated; also the carrying capacity,
under the most favorable circumstan-
ces, Of the various means of transporta
ton more available, and the conclusion
demonstrated that it would be utterly
impossible to convey enough persons
to the grounds to meet the expenses.
1t was therefor deemed advisable not
to 60 into an enterprise that would
necessarily involve loss, being dis
credit upon the city and handicap
some future effort to resuscitate
the Fair under, different transporta
ton conditions. 1t was the unani-
nous opinion of those present that it
would be best to abandon all idea of
holding fair until such time as the
citizens who should be deeply inter-
ested in this thing are willing to
grant transit franchises to the fair
grounds. There was no doubt eX-
pressed as to the success of the EEK
hibit should a fair be held, nor of the
attendance in this city of the thous-
ands necessary to constitute the fair a
financial success, only knowledge of
the impossibility of carrying these
thousands from the city to the
grounds. These views found express
sion in the following preamble and
resolution
Whereas, The efforts of the Inter-
national Fair association to secure safe
and adequate transportation to the
fair grounds have been attended with
failure, and,
Whereas. 1t has been fully demon
strated that fair and exposition can
not be successfully held, that will be
in keeping with the name of the In
ternational Fair association and that
will not operate other than as tinan-
cial failure to it's projectors and stock
holders without such character of
transportation, and,
Whereas, The city council has
shown a disposition to withhold any
franchise to anyone praying for the
same, thereby demonstrating to the
friends of this institution, and to the
country interested, spirit if not in
imical to our enterprise, at least I'M
mindful OF it's benefits to the city and
of the interests of hundreds of it's
stockholders, it is hereby
Resolved, That in view of the fact
that the city council has persistently
! opposed any and all attempts to pro-
vide safe and adequate transportation
to and from the fair grounds, and de-
clined to grant any practical franchise
for such purpose, it is decided not to
| attempt to hold fair this year.
