About the hour of three yesterday
afternoon the special officer of the
Union National Bank was seen wsnd-
Ing his way down Market street stag.
RertnK under the weight of huge
bag OF coins which werd slung over his
shoulder. he was seon to enter the
Farmers Bank. In little while he
was seen to go through tho same pro-
gramme again. A number OF gentle.
men were Watching the operation and
calculating tho weight Of tho coins
and the Mount in the bag
They deGld ID 1t was about 100 lbs
and therefore $1,000. but when the
opinion OF a prominent broker was
asked he decided there was but $500
In each bag. A New York gentleman
spoke up and said. That could not
have been carried unprotected through
the streets of New York; But here
WINS our messenger going down the
street unprotected and as uncnncerned
as II 1t was a bag of nails. Many were
the coNetous Chances cast upon the
filthy lucre, but that was all.

John told him that no was very
sorry but he could not get job for
himself. 1t IL conceded that Mr..
Comegys will be confirmed for two
reasons.
The first one is that he is O Demo-
crat against whom nothing can be
suid, and secondly because he would
be the most formidable opponent
which Senator Grays brothsr.ln
wonld have for the office. Comegys
would put the vote taken In the legis-

stick to party lines. He did bett r
though for he helped to send senator
Higgins as q representative from

Visiting Gard Holder.
One Of the latest Partisan tea table novel
ties Is the butterfly napkin holder This is
a gilt. silver or bronze clasp made in the
shape of butterfly's body, ornamented
with imitation jewels, which likewise serve
for eyes. The napkin itself is small, Of
course and as fine and elaborate rs one
chooses to make it, The one in the sketch
is of white linen, with n scalloped edge en-
broidered in forgetmenot blue silk.
A spray of forgetmenots is embroidered
In each corner. The butterfly body has
sort OF clamp or pin arrangement under
meath just large enough to hold the napkin
securely when the latter is gathered up In
the middle. These butterfly bodies come
also as menu holders. In that case the
menu card is shaped in such way us to
form the wings.
Another French fancy Is a crescent shaped
holder for visiting cards. This may easily
be made at home by any one apt at fancy
work. A large crescent is cut out of strong
pasteboard, and also another one somewhat
