AT THE BANK.

The president of bank was asked this question
Suppose / give check on my bank fol
any of money, and when the check Is presented
the paying teller, not knowing the holder, certifes
the check; the holder gets 1t caSed outside in the
course Of time the check reaches the bank upon
which 1t is drawn; in the meantime have learned
that the representations upon which gave the check
were false and made for the purpose of committing
an illegal act; ] have notified tie bank that sucf
Is the case. When the check Is presented Is the
bank bound to paw it and am the loser?"
The reply Of the bank president IS: Yes the
bank must honor its own certfcation: inasmucl
as the check certified the fact that you had
bank account where the check was presented, and
that the signature of such check was yours YOU must
lose. You have no recourse unless Won catch the
fellow who made the Misrepresentation and that
doesn't always get the money. / think such an
act as the one Of which you speak is penitentiary

A BULLDozER IN GARRISoy'S DAY.

FIOU IIo bOsI0H NuNtTIIstT
Apropos OF the recent discussion Il the character
Of William Lloyd Garrison, the Table is told story
By an eyewitness Of the occurrence. In 1874 CARR

York. Just before he noted New York bully
assembled the platform and shaking HIS fist savagel
in Mr. GarriSons face. shouted You may call God
Almighty all the names you please, but If you say one
word against my President I'll smash your head. ,
II will readily be believed that the 4" who would
not retreat single inch" and who would be heard
was not greatly alarmed at this threat but IL well
illustrates the condition Of the times and the arrogance
OF the slave olgarchy. A man who, in these days,
should commit such arocOus offence this in the
presence OF public audience would be taken in charge
BY the police and fined the next morning, regardless
Of his political preferences.

TIE announcement is made that the
Mount Carmel Aeronautic Manufactur-
ing Company, Of Illinois, was char
tered with capital of $50, 900, 600.
There isnothing startling in this an.
nouncement so far as the amount Of
capital is concerned In these days of
big sums on paper it is the easiest
thing imaginable to launch company
for the most impracticable and visionary
of purposes with capital of score Of
fourscore Of millions. But if this new
company is going to accomplish all that
is promised, or little of it, the world
is on the eve of the most tremendous
social and economic revolution of all
the agos. The company is going to
navigate the air not in uncertain and
almost useless balloons, but in aerial
ships capable of carrying fifty persons
each, Or, say, 5000 pounds of freight
The inventors claim that the problem
of aerial navigation has been solved,
and that they have demonstrated this
experimentally. Within sixty days,
they assure us, the first air ship will be
in trim. They promise to make it pos.
sible TO circumnavigate the globe in five
days, and to leave Chicago in the
morning and spend the afternoon and
evening with your uncle in San Fran
cisco. Aluminium is to be the material
of the coming ship, and electricity its
motive power. So sure are the promo
ters of success that they do mot ask the
public to subscribe for o single share
of the stock.

The secret of Success,

To young men who would @get on"
in this world. and reach the age of four.
score years, with happiness end pros.
perity, there is little more to be said.
But I will refer'them to study of my
own rules of action:
Briefly, would say-be honest; dc
not spend as much as you make; don't
smoke or drink; depend upon your own
personal exertions, and do not leave
important affairs to third person
don't have too many irons in the fire
do not get above your own business,
and, above all, be systematic. Adver-
tise your business on all possible oc.
casions; but attend to it. too, and see
that your claims and promises made tc
the public are fulfilled. It does not
pay to have single customer go away
dissatisfied. Nor does it pay to take
money for services for which you dc
not render an equivalent.
, tIhe best working years of o. mans
life are usually between twenty-six and
sixty; but much good work is possible
long after the three-score year mark
has been passed. lean say, for myself,
that every moment Of my time is put tc
some definite purpose, and, though ]
have numberless calls and demands,
enjoy a reasonable recreation each day.
Both work and rest, and joy also, should
make up the sum Of busy life. p. e.

Some one has invented an automatic
chair for use in theaters. Tn its normal
condition it remains closed, but when d
penny is dropped. in slot it opens,
closing again when the person who oc-
cupied it rises. The other day lady
who was visiting the Edinbnrg Exhibi
tion rose from her automatic chair too
deliberately, and found that in closing
the chair had seized her dress improver.
AS nothing could induce the chair to
open and release her, except and addi-
tional penny dropped in the slot, and as
the lady had nothing except sover-
eign, she saw herself compelled to
choose between remaining permanent
prisoner and calling a.surgeon to ampu-
