He went home, laid the note on the mantel and went to sleep. It disappeared. He believed it had fallen in the fire, made an affidavit to this effect and received $780, 900 more, giving as a guarantee that if the note was found he would assume it's responsibility. Thirty years afterward, the man having in the meantime died, the note was presented and the bank had to pay it; and as the mans estate had long been divided the bank lost the money,

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

The original theory upon which this government was founded was that the government had little to do in a financial way except collect its revenues and ap- ply them to the payment of it's expenses.
 This was the independent treasury sys- tenn. which was the result of the wisdom of our forefathers. But the theory has been perverted. The government now
 holds the place occupied by the Bank of England in Great Britain. For two cen turies> the Bank of England has been closely interwoven with the history of Great Britain. It loaned to King William at one time S6OOOOOO to pay government expenses. Parliament passed an act giving the Bank of Eng land special privileges. The debt now
 owed to the bank by the government amounts to s55.O0o.OOO. The bank has available assets of s600, ,OOO. 900. It em-

coIoNE1 PArrERsoN's SPEECH.

The address delivered by Hon. Josiah
 Patterson at the opera house yesterday
 afternoon was not "gold bug" speech,
 nor were his sentiments antagoniStic to
 silver currency. On the contrary, he
 spoke for sound money of both metals.
 He exhibited an earnest desire for the
 preservation of the value of American
 silver money by honest dealing with the gold dollar. In other words, Colonel Pat
 terson. in clear. logical, forceful man.
 ner, showed the fallacy of any attempt
 by this government to give the nat stamp of American hints upon silver at a ratio of Is to Land took the still further
 position that at no fixed ratio could free
 coinage of silver secure safe clrcula-
 tion of both metals on parity. He
 pointed clearly to the truth, by illustra-
 ton, that a ratio of 100 to 1 would drive
 silver from the hints, because the com
 modity would command a better price as
 bullion than as money; that ratio of
 to 1 would drive gold from the hints,
 because that commodity would com
 mand a better price as bullion than as
 money-hence no ratio of mintage by
 this government, independent of other
 nations, would preserve the parity of
 the two metals The speaker made this
 point very plain and enthused his audi
 ence with the strength of his argument Notwithstanding the indictment wealth CT, a large audience of Birmingham cit izens. thinking men, were out to hear the distinguished speaker, and they demon- strated their indorsement of his remarks. Of course all did not fully agree with him in all that he said, but the generally expressed opinion is that Colonel Patter- son made an able speech. Many of his hearers went there with unsettled views
 on the great question of the day. These
 were willing listeners and were deeply impressed by the logic of the speaker. Colonel Patterson is pleasing speak CT. a sound Democrat, and withal mag netic man. He closed his address with | a fervent appeal for an exercise by | Southern Democrats of that spirit of gratitude which has ever characterized | our people; for a preservation of the na- | tion's credit, and loyalty to the faith of | the fathers.
 The speech ought to be heard or read | by every thoughtful man, of whatever persuasion. Colonel Patterson desires that our people should send a strong del- egation to the Memphis convention on the 23d instant, and Chairman Little, who presided at the meeting announced that our citizens would take action on the subject at an early day.

CITED FOR CONTEMPT.
Judge Golf Hauls Up oonstables Who Dis

Judge Golf Hauls Up Constables Who Dis-
 regarded His Injunction.
 Columbia, S. C., May 6.-There was big sensation at the very outset of the hearing in the dispensary injunction cases before Judges Golf and Simonton of the United States court this morning.
 All are familiar with the fact that Judge Golf recently issued temporary injunction restraining the state board of control and all state liquor authorities and employees from interfering with uouor brought from another state to this, not only while in transit, but While in the hands of conSignees. The state authori ies utterly disrega rde1 the order of injunction, and Commissioner Nixon issued a circular of instruction to con- stables, ordering them to be more active than ever in seizing liquors. Plenty or seizures were made. Dr. Pope, attorney for complainants, called this to the at- tention of the court and presented copy of the order with proper affidavits. He also presented affidaYits as against certain constables who made seizures.
 In consequence Judge Golf issued or ders against Nixon and Constables A. T. Davis and s. C.. Lafar, requiring each to appear before him at 10 o'clock tomor- row morning and show cause why they may not be attached and punished for contempt of court.
 MT. Townsend was interrupted by the judges and attorneys on the other side all the way through his argument for the state. Some questions were pro- pounded to him that seemed to stun him. pr. Pope made a strong argument of two hours duration for the complain ant. He severely handled the dispen- sary monopoly. He was followed by MT Caldwell for the complainant, who was more sarcastic and severe on the representatives of the state government than any speaker who has appeared in any of the cases. He told of how the people had voted by 15,000 majority for prohibition. and this dispensary scheme, this political machine and monopoly for revenue only, had been saddled upon them.
 Tomorrow MT. Bryan will make an elaborate argument for the complain ants, and the attorney-general will close. The opinion is general that the dispen- sary system has gone by the board in so far as interstate commerce is con cerned, and if this be so, the law is effec- tually nullified.
 The contempt cases to be heard tomor- row at 10 o'clock promise to be of the greatest interest. It is thought the state' commissioner will be severely dealt with.

Wilde Released on Bail.

London, May 6.-Investigation having confirmed the responsibility of Wildes sureties, Justice Pollock has signed the order for his release.
 Wilde will probably leave London at once for the seaside
 The statement of MT. c. r. Gill, coun- sel for the prosecution, that Wilde would undoubtedly be tried at the next sesion, was made without the authority of the public prosecutor. It has not been de- cided whether the government will take steps to have Wilde again placed on trial. They are willing that he should be again arraigned, but it is understood that the heads of the churches and other eminent persons urge upon the govern ment the fact that much harm will be done to the public morals by the adop- tion of such course, referring to the reprinting of all the perncious details of the case In the meantime the police are ordered not to maintain too close a watch upon Wilde's movements and not to prevent him from going to the con- tinent if he wishes to go there.

JUDGES OF THE TENNIS CONTEST.

The selection of Messrs. Harrison and Morgan as judges in the international lawn tennis match may rebound to the credit of the United States or it may not. Mir. Harrison will doubtless bring into play something of the jingoism he ex- hibited just before the expiration of his term. The little republic of Chill pri- vately informed this government that It would make reparation for the injury inflicted upon American seamen at Val paraiso. While President Harrison had this information in his possession he is sued a resounding proclamation calling on Chili to pay up or fight Such tactics as this introduced in an international lawn tennis match would not result in any Hove" scores, as tennis players say. Perhaps Morgan is a better selection than Harrison. He is chairman of the committee on foreign relations and Is fully conversant with international di- plomacy. He would certainly save the United States all the expense possible, and may demand that the foreign tennis players furnish all the balls-he himself would agree to furnish the racket. His position that the United States should refuse to pay the $425, 900 assessed by the Behring sea tribunal shows that he has an eye to economy. Senator Morgan's demand for the annextion of Hawaii also shows a desire to "claim everything" which will serve the country we'll if there is any dispute in the tennis match.

The Ghost Of a Chance

Is very shadowy affair. Ere the chance of recovery becomes a vanishing ghost take a most potent means of overcom- ing the inactivity of the organs that ter inmates in. too frequent fatal disease by resorting to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which gives just the requisite impulse to the renal organs to promote their viz orous action without exciting them, an effect too often produced by the fiery and unmedicated stimulants of commerce. Bright's disease, diabetes and inactiv- ity of the bladder are foes of terrible menace to the system. The inroads may, however, be stayed if they are met at the start and combatted with the bitters. This fine and genial corrective also rem edies malaria, dyspepsia, rheumatism, debility, nervousness and the infirmities incident to age. It hastens convales- cence and is promotive of sleep and appe- fife

 If the silver monometallsts have their way, the old saw about the cloud having the silver lining will be verified, only they will get the silver while the peo- pie largely luxuriate in cloud. If it was the fall in the price of silver which forced wheat down to 50 cents a bushel, is the rise of over 25 per cent to 63 cents also due to the fall of silver? If silver is the all-powerful agent free sill yer cranks say it is, then whatever hap pens must be due to it. If wheat falls and corn goes up, the lower price of one and the higher price of the other must be due to the purturbations in silver Ihat metal seems to be wild irrespon- siole sort of creature, which blesses and curses recklessly.
