Bank of England Notes.

With the Bank of England the de- struction of its notes takes place about once a week and at 7 D. ID. It used to be done in the daytime, but made such a smell that the neighbor- ing stockholders petitioned the gov ernors to do it in the evening. The notes are previously cancelled by punching a hole through the amount tin figures) and tearing of the sigma ture of the chief cashier. The notes are burned in closed furnace, and the only agency employed is shay ings and bundles of wood. They used to be burned in cage, the re- suit of which was that once a week the city was darkened with burned fragments of notes. For future pur- poses of reference the notes are left five years before being burned.
 The number of notes coming into the Bank of England every day Is about 5O,OOO, and 350,0OO are de stroyed every week, or something like Is, 900, 900 every year.
 The stock of paid notes for five years Is about 77,745, 900 in number. and they fill 13, 400 boxes, which if placed side by side would reach q miles. If the notes were placed in a pile, they would reach to a height of B miles, or if joined end to end would form a ribbon 12,4 miles long.-Chambers' Journal.

 mont and Left UnsoIVed.
 The following rather curious piece of composition was recently placed upon the blackboard at a teachers in stitute in Vermont, and a prize of a Webster's Dictionary offered to any person who could read it and pro- nounce every word correctly. The book was not carried of, as 12 was the lowest number of mistakes in pronunciation made.
 A sacrilegious son of Beial who has suffered from bronchitis, having exhausted his finances, in order to make good the deficit. resolved to ally himself to a comedy, lenient and docile young lady of the Malay or Caucasian race He accordingly pur- chased a calhope and coral necklace of 8 chameleon hue and securing a suite of rooms at a principal hotel he engaged the head waiter as his coadjutor. He then dispatched a let ter of the most unexceptional cali~- raphy eNtant, inviting the young lady to a matinee. She revolted at the idea, refused to consider herself sacrificable to his desires and sent polite note of refusal, on receiving which he procured a carbine and bowie knife, said that he would not now forge letters hymeneal with the queen and went to an isolated spot, severed his jugular vein and dis charged the contents of the carbine into his abdomen. The debris was removed by the coroner.
 The mistakes in pronunciation were made on the following words. Sacrilegious, Belial, bronchitis, cN- hausted, finances, deficit comedy, lenient, docile, Malay. caliope, cham eleon. suite, coadjutor. cahgraphy. matinee, sacrificable, carbine. hyIne- neal, isolated, jugular and debris.- Chicago Tribune.

We have received cur fall and winter goods of the best selected line of imported and domestic wool ems ever brought to Arizona. Gen tlemen seeking fine tailoring can secure excellent satisfaction at mod crate prices with us. All our work IS made on our premises by first class mechanics. We have had many years experience in cutting and m making up garments for some of the very best firms east and west prior to coming to Prescott two months ago. We have been with Polasky Bros. ana Geo. r. Taylor of Los Angeles. Cal, for the last five years, two of the best known first class tailoring firms on the Pacific Coast. We arc here to stay with the intention ol building up a good trade ou a square basis. We regret to see the fine tailoring so greatly misrepresented in this locality by eastern and western houses as the work for those firms Is made up by inferior mechanics in sweating shops, or filthy Chinese dens.

 1t costs 8 and one hour in jail to send 8 challenge to fight a duel, Tn Virginia. Reforms move slowly, but the time may come when even Virginia will be controlled by a majority of the legal voters within her borders.
 Representative Haines, of \. Y., says: fl will vote against the tariff bill fl I am the only democrat in , the house who does; it hits a blow at every industry in my district"
 Chairman Wilson should allow Mr, Cleveland to dictate his letters for him, as he did the tariff bill. or, he should quit answering com piaiats. His explanations do not explain.
 The free trader cannot convince the man whose wages have been re- duced ar himself laid of. because of the fear of the effects of free trade, that free trade will bring the coun- try great blessings in the future. And even if he could, future bles- ings, although pleasant to anticipate, would not even pay the landlord and the grocer for present shelter and food.
 The democratic party has yet to learn that il is by doing, and not by undoing, that political party earns the support of the people a2d per manent success.
 Democratic Congressmen do not consider protection unconstitutional when 1t is given to their pet con Stituents.
 Let the democrats in Congress be honest in their treatment Of the tariff, if such a thing is possible. Let those of them who are striving to secure protection for some special industry either come out squarelv in favor of letting the tariff alone, or in favor of absolute free trade. If protection Is right for one in- dustry 1t Is right for all. If wrong, vice versa.

Our ChrIstmns Trees

The henewspapersa are frequently very pathetic over the enormous destruc
 tiOn of forests, caused by the annual sales of Christmas trees. As trees are in any form valuable only for the pleasure which. humanity can derive from them, there seems to be no more reason why they may not be sacrificed for this pleasure when com paratively young as for floor boards when they reach maturer years. The satisfaction that thousands of young folks receive from the Christmas tree Is a full compensation for its destuc- ton, and aside from this, as any one knows who may have visited north ern forests, the trees usually are far too close together ever to form first class timber. Spruce and frs may be seen growing together as thick as wheat in the grainfeld, and to ex- pect timber from such closely grow ing specimens is entirely out of the question; hence the trees may be cut from the young northern forests without operating against full grown forest trees eveRtually.-Meehan's Monthly.
