William Bradford, tho American artist,
had begun Ito us businessman md never
quito oyoroamo tho traditions of trade.
With this was combined rigid consoien-
tiousnoss, derived from his Quaker an
cestry. Ho md Van Best were living ut
ono time in New Bedford. Van Boest
was a genuine swashbuckler, gifted with
unusual eloquenoo in tho art of profane
swearing, Once Van Best requested
Bradford to refund him loan of $50.
When the lnttcr protested that it was In
convenient to return It then and pleaded
for time, Van Best let fly volloy of rod
hot oHths, swearing that ho must have
the money then and there
With considerable reluctance Bradford
handed him a $50 noto, Van Best there
upon proceeded, with tho utmost nom
chalnnco, to light his pipo with tho bill.
Completely overcome by such an amazing
net of folly following hard ON such blast
of profanity, Bradford loft tho room in n
state OF stupofncton. After he had gone
Van Best burst out laughing aud took
tho bill from his pocket, telling tho by
ISLANDERS that the bill which no had notu.
ally used to light his pipo with was a
counterfeit that he had dextrously substi-
tuted for tho genuine bill, and that no got
the money from Bradford ut at'particu-
lar time expressly to play of this trick OIL

II Is perhaps no oxnggcrntlon to say
that the amount Of hard cnsh now rescrv-
ed by tho various governments in Wow Of
a possible outbreak Of war exceeds rather
than falls short of el50, 600, 900, which
would not under any circumstances DO
pnrted with, oven for the most temporary
object. IL does not require much investi-
cation to provo that tho outcome Of this
must be anything but beneficial.
The mlser who boards his gold Injuries
others as well as himself, Just as land
owner who deliberately permits his broad
ncres to lie waste is inilicting blow upon
tho community which might live and
thrive upon tho produce Of tho soil. For
the greater part Of the last 20 years first
one nation and then another has played
the part OF tho niser and laid greedy
hold upon treasure which should have
boon allowed to circuittO and increase
many fold tho wealth OF those through
whose hands IL passed. Nor could this
have happened at a moro unfortunate
time, for while tho output of silver in
creased by leaps and bounds that of gold
fell away rapidly.
The gigantic efforts made TO convert
Enropo into an armed camp have impov-
orishcd the people, not merely by demand
ing their labor, which would have been
more probably employed in filling the
ground and tending the mill or tho loom,
but by hcnping upon them AN almost I'M
bcnTnblo burden Of taxation, which thoy
arc so much tho less Bblo to meet While
this state OF things continues, and these
war chests arc being nddcd to, there can
be littlo hope of nny rolief-Chamborg'

Tho Confederate Contribution.

There were really two OF thom, the
"proyisiunul" and tho permanent" con-
stltutions of tho southern Confederacy,
After the burning of Richmond tho orig
inal documents fell Into tho hands Of the
Dc FontnlnO family, In whose possession
they remained up to ten years ago In the
spring OF 1855 Mrs. II. G. do Fontnino,
thon living In New York city, wrote to
tho governors Of the ex- Confederate states,
Offering TO sell tho historic documents Of
which she was at that time solo owner,
but failed to find purchaser among
them. She then opened communications
with tho southern historical societies, but
only ono OF those institutions, that Of
Maryland, took enough interest In the
matter to call a meeting to consider tho
lhdy's proposition. 9hoy soon ascertnlnod
that the finances of tho society woro not
In condition to warrant the trustees In
making an offer" Aftor these successive
failures Mrs do Fontaino turned to prl-
VITO relic hunters. This was the proper
move, and within fow days sho had an
offer OF $1,000 for tho original draft OF
the permanent constitution from Mrs W.
]. do Renno of Savannah. Tho offor was
accepted, and some time later the docu-
mont was presented to tho Georgia State
library by Mrs. do Renne. The draft of
tho provisional constitution was purchased
by tho late W. w, Corcoran, tho wcll
known Washington banker, and by him
presented to the state Of Virginia.
