GUARDING ENoLAND's GOLD.

Precautions Taken In the Vaults of the
''old Lady of ThreadneetlIe Street"
The Bank of England's doors are
now so finely balanced that the clerk,
by pressing knob under his desk, can
close the outer doors instantly and
they cannot be opened again except by
special process. This is done TO pre-
vent the daring and ingenious unem-
ployed of the great metropolis from
robbing the famous institution.
The bullion departments of this and
other great English banking establish
ments are nightly submerged in several
feet Of water by the action of the ma
chinery.
In some of the London banks the
bullion departments are connected with
the managers sleeping room, and an
entrance cannot be effected without
setting out off the alarm near the per-
sons head, says the Manchester
Guardian.
If n dishonest Official, during day OF
night, should take even as much as one
from a pile of thousand sovereigns,
the whole pile would instantly sink and
pool of water take its place, besides
letting every person in the place know
of the theft.

GOV. wINANs.

BILE top washstand and dresser and
small writing table and wardrobe, the
furniture being in oak to correspond
with the finishing of the room. The
windows are draped with damask and
altogether the executive has apartments
that are hardly surpassed in the city.
The executive parlors adjoin his private
office on the first floor, and are Gle
gantly furnished with sofas, easy
chairs and divans, while the pictures
of his predecessors, nearly all
life-size and painted in oil,
adorn the walls. The Governors fami-
" reside at Danville. and it is probable
that they will not go to indianapolis
at all, even should he be elected this
fall. Mrs. Chase had the smallpox
some eighteen years ago, and when she
recovered from the disease it was
found that her sight had been very
seriously impaired. She continued
to grow worse, and some eight
years ago became totally blind.
The family is comfortably domiciled at
Danville, and it is understood that Mrs
Chase is averse to taking. up her resi-
dence at the capital. The Governor
pays frequent visits to his family, gen.
orally spending one or two nights each
week with them, the short distance en-
abling him to go over late in the after
noon and return early next morning.
Michigan's Governor has become one
of the best known executives in the

man of commanding figure, tall,
straight and military looking. with de-
cided features that impress one very
fvvorably and can on occasion express
thelSindness and gentleness of a woman.
His hair is iron gray, and mustaehe
of hike color adorns his face and sets
off, very attractivcly, pair of bright
eyes that seem to inspire confidence in
the man. Bright and early every
morning at o'clock the Governor
wakes into the.executive office at the
capitol, lays off his outer coat and
immerses himself in the correspond
ence and gubernatorial work
that is continually crowding
! ing his desk. He is hard at II until u
o'clock, when he goes to luncheon for
an hour, returning and continuing
work until 9. Rarely, if ever is this
routine interrupted, and consequently
the Governor is rapidly acquiring the
reputation of being the hardest work
ing executive Michigan ever possessed
Nothing is eveg left for the clerical
force to superintend unless the Govern
or is unavoidably absent, and even
then implicit instructions are left to be
followed. His evenings are generally
devoted to Mrs, Winans and TO reading

PAY THE wRorH MONEY.
A Druidical Custom That Is stIn OF
served in warwicIxshire.

A Druidical Custom That Is stilI OBJ
served in warwicIzshire.
History books confidently assert that
the Druids have long ceased to exist in
England. Doubt is thrown on this as
sertion by a quaint custom held in the
stormy dawn of yesterday morning
around the remnants of a British
tumulus which exists at Knightlow in
Warwicl5shire, where the Duke of
Buceleuch, as Lord of the Hundred,
exacted payment of certain tributes
which date from the misty times of
our Druidical ancestors.
The Duke did not himself appear in
the character of a Druid to collect the
dues, but was represented by his
agent. Payment is made by twenty
eight parishes of the old Hundred of
Knightlow,th tax Being called s'Wroth
silver
What it was instituted for nobody
knows, and nobody knows exactly why
II was maintained. It only produces
about nine shillings, but if any parish
neglects to pay the Duke has the right
to exact from it white bull, with red
nose and ears The representatives Of
the different parishes assemble at the
tumulus before or on Nov. IL, march
thrice around hollow stone, saying,
The wroth money! and deposit the
tribute in the cavity, from which the
Dukes representative gathers it up,
says the London Telegraph.
A philologer after the school of Dean
Swift's Greek and Latin derived from
English" might explain the meaning Of
the name by saying that the parishes
were wroth at having to pay it; but this
etymology is at once nullified by the
fact that inhabitants of the Hundred
who care to get out of bed so early are
entertained in a neighboring hosiery
by his grace at substantial breakfast,
costing twenty times more than they
pay in ''wroth money" 1t is curious
custom, linking the distant past with
nineteenth century civilization.
