Shiloh Battlefield.

The following taken from the
National Tribune, Washington,
d. c., in reference to the purchase
of the Shiloh battlefield for a
memorial park is self explanatory:
Col. L. T. Lee, Secretary of the
Shiloh Battlefield Association. of
Monticello, ILL.,, is in the city. He
is here to make a report to the
House Committee, composed of
Col. ID. b. Henderson, of Iowa;
Gen. Joseph Wheeler, Alabama,
and John 9. Black, of Illinois; also
the Senate Committee, composed
of Senators Isham G. Harris, of
Tennessee; John Sherman, of Ohio,
and w. f. Villas, of Wisconsion.
The report covers the proceed.
ings of the Association from its
organization, and includes the re.
port of the committee that visited
the battlefield and secured options
on the land which the association
desire the Government purchase
for a grand memorial park, and
the graves of the soldiers there be
preserved. The association is
meeting with great encouragement
in their efforts. There is an uni.
versal sentiment all over the
country that this old historic bat.
tlefield, where was fought the first
great open-feld battle in the West
should be preserved. The old
Army of the Tennessee have none
of the battlefelds preserved, ant
they claim Shiloh.
Secretary Lee has received
thousands of letters from the ole
survivors from all parts Of the
country urging that this battlefield
be preserved, and he has the
names and postoffice address o
1000 of the survivors of that bat
tie. Many of these will atten(
the Reunion on the battlefield
next April 6 and 7, and assist TIT
association in marking the posi-
tons held by their commando
during the battle of the 9th ant
18th, 1862.
1t is requested that each com
mand prepare marker of som'
kind to place at these positions. |
, has been suggested that for tn
present a One.inch board 10 by i
be painted white, with the letter
and number in black, to nail t.
the trees until more permanen
! markers can be placed there b.
the Government, the States, or tn
various associations that took par
in the battle. All are invited t.
the Reunion on next April 6 and
to assist in this work.

Chinese Money.

Chinese bank notes are more like
promissory notes than our bank notes.
There is not and never has been nation.
al banks, and notes are not used as cur.
rency to any extent The banker
merely writes the amount on the motel
and puts his private seal or chop over
it, writes correspondent of the Phila'
delphis Times.
Such notes are made out for all sums
from five to 30, 900 taels, and the Chi
nese banker never goes back on hisl
signature. He pays the notes when
they are presented in silver or gold
The silver is usually paid according I'd
weight, in Jumps the shape of toy
bathtub, ranging in value all the way
from 81 to $50. The usual size
worth about $50, and it weighs about
five pounds. The gold is made in long
thin cakes, and is twenty carats fine
The banker stamps with his privatt
seal every piece of silver he pays out
and even the Mexican dollars are
marked thus with India ink.
Every big bank or company has O
man who takes all of the silver dollars
that come in and fits them into holes
made in q board, 80 that when they
lie in them their surface is Just level
with the board. He then takes q
brush and water and washes them as
white and clean as though they had
just come from the mint. He now
stamps his chop on each of them, and
this means that he guarantees their
payment.
Any one who has been In China will
see the necessity of this. There are
no shrewder counterfeiters in the
world than the Chinese, aud they are
especially adept in the plugging Of
coin.
The other day an American got a
silver dollar in trade, at Hankow, and
attempted to pass il at the bank there.
He was told it was not good, and upon
his questioning the matter, the Chinese
cashier sent for a candle and lit it.
He then held the coin over it and 10
in a moment it began to melt. The
sides fell off and in the centre there
was piece OF copper. The counter
feiters had split genuine coin and
had followed out the two pieces on the
inside so that the copper could be fit-
ted into them. They were then
patched together so neatly that only
the experienced ear of the Chinese
shroff could detect the fraud.
