Checks for "a Million or So. >,

Several correspondents call attention %
the fact that the check for 81 80. 900 paid
BY the London and County bank was By
no means the largest ever drawn II sp-
pears that at least four OF the London
clearing banks have paid checks for con-
siderably over e. o0O. COO on more than one
occasion In fact, in this great center OF
the worlds finance checks for Il ,0Oo. 600 or
so, especially on heavy settling days, would
seem 10 be a matter of course, If not quite
as plentiful as blackberrles. A few years
ago the Manchester Snip Canal company,
when buying cut the Bridgew&ter trustees.
drew one check for &, ~, 600 on Glyn a.
Co, and this document can still be seen az
the Offices Of the ship canal company.

Didn't Want to Co to Either Place.

A good story has leaked out on one OF
the ministers who took a very active part
in the redemption of sinners at the Ere
mont camp meeting 1t is said that at one
OF the meetings the customary invitation
was given for all who wanted to 20 to
heaven 10 rise up. All present rose 10 their
feet with the exception of one young man
who sat back pretty well on the outskirts
OF the audience. Those who desired to 90
to heaven sat down.
Then all those who wanted TO 20 TO hell
were requested to rise to their feet, and the
aforesaid young man was eyed with good
deal of interest. Still be sat as quiet and
composed as a stone. The minister went
to him and asked him why be did not rise
in either instance. Wall" replied the
husky son Of toll, 81 don't wu1t ter go
anywhar. Fremont's good ernuff fer me"
And the preacher wendell his way back
70 the altar, and sitting on the
mourners' bench leaned over and tied his
shoe.-Fremont Tribune.

MR. JAY GOULD AND PARTY.

Mr.. Jay Gould and Mr. George Gould
and Mr.. 5. H. II. Clark, general manager
of the Missouri Pacific system, accompan-
led by several directors and stockholders
and Sup't Russell Harding, arrived in
Wichita on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock,
coming direct from Pueblo. They were
sorry that it was Sunday, having expected
when starting out, to reach Wichita on a
business day. After a ride about the bust
ness streets with delegation of the Board
of Trade, and after a view of their own
properties here, as also of those of the
other lines, the special train at 1870
pulled out for the eastern portion of
the state. Mr.. Gould proposes to go over
all the lines of the system before return
ing to New York. Some important i'm
provements at this point have been deter
mined upon. Mr. Gould says that he will
in a few more days be into New Orleans
with his Memphis line, after which he
will fix up the most direct line possible
for through traffic from Wichita and from
Pueblo to that city. Speaking of Wichita
and Pueblo the party united in saying that
these two were the most city like
places, and showed more business
than any places they had struck
anywhere on the trip west of the Missouri,
and that Pueblo only was behind Wichita
in the matters of street paving and public
building, in which particulars Wichita
seemed to lead many older and greater
cities of the east. Among many other
things Mr.. Gould said the intention was
to extend the Wichita and Kiowa road
into the territory at an early day, or as
soon as the strip should be opened to set

4 Great Artist,s aIc.aods.

Birket Foster, through the medium OF
his acknowledgements, is perhaps the best
known and most popular artist of rustic
children in landscape that the British
school of art has ever produced. He is the
father of chromo-lithograph in England,
and his venerable appearance and kindly
disposition will accord with his lovely de
lineadons Of the childhood scenes of his
own merry England. Wren sketching from
nature he does not use an easel, but simply
places a thick sheet of loose paper on a
board resting on his knee, and commence
ing at the left hand side finishes as he goes.
The colors are held in a very small box,
and are laid on thick (being only slightly
moistened with water and in patches, no
washes being INDUCED in whatever. On
looking at the paper nature is at once seen
TO be literally mirrored there bit by bit
even potato growing on a matched roof
not being overlooked. Although thus
infinitely finished all is done very rapidly
and with the confidence which great talent
and lifelong practice alone can give.
When finished for the day he places board
and all into black bag, carried with strap
across the shoulders, aud this. together
with his stool and ordinary alpaca UNI

There was little activity at the Monarch

difficult TO tell all that is contained there
