I have country friend-a whole -souled,
honest fellow--whose goodwill value even
more highly than Governor Budd values the
applause for which his grand-stand plays are

front doorsteps with an azure dress, and had
placed q few boards temporarily across the ap-
proach from the sidewalk for q very obvious

himself, and then, with q proud air, mastered
the ascent to the door.

steps are freshly painted"
ftDon't mention it, said my good-natured
friend, "these shoes has been wearin' nigh
onto three years, and amt much, nohow."
Like all pleasures the visit came to an end
and my relatives automatically sought to save
the balance OF the work on those front steps.
'Excuse me, but this is the shorter way
out" observed one of my relatives, moving
toward the side door.
"Jest few extra steps won't tire me, /
guess" was the response; "I'll jest mosey out
the way came"
"But you'll get yourself all covered with
paint, fear.''
"Don't bother about me, now" he laughed.

his balance number of times as he went but

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
Something About the Greatest Institu-
tion OF Its Kind In the World.

4
On the eth OF last July the Bank Of
England reached its 200th birthday
says the Bank Register II is the great
est bank in the world. In its early days
the bank employed fifty-four clerks
and the yearly salary list amounted 10
but little over $4,000. the chief &C
countant receiving 81 ,225 year. AT the
present time the number of employees
is $500. No note of the $4,000 or so
issued daily is ever issued again. Each
note as IL is paid in is cancelled and an
account kept of its filings. One OF the
curiosities of the bank Is a 25-pound
note which was paid in after being out
III years. In the bank album for large
notes and other curiosities is a 1,000,-
Compound bank note which was once
issued for convenience in transaction
involving large amount of money.
Whether lost or stolen, the banks notes
will always be paid. Once clerk ran
away with 100000 worth of notes. For
six months the theft and number of
notes were advertised, and at the end
OF that time Jew appeared with them
and demanded that they be paid. On
being refused he went to the exchange
and raised such an cutlery, saying that
as the bank refused to pay its own
notes, 1T must be insolyent, that the
bank called him back and paid him the
full amount of the stolen notes. An
other time one of the directors depos-
tied $4,000 and took single note.
He put the piece of paper on the man
tie piece and fell asleep. On waking he
found the note gone. He thought it
had fallen into the fire. and got another
note, giving a guaranty that if the
first note ever turned up he would be
responsible for ii. Thirty years later,
the man having died in the meantime,
the first note was presented for pay
ment at the bank. and the bank stood
the loss. The mans estate had been

or Florence. Italy. Miss Carpenter.
who belongs to one Of the Oldest fam
lilies of Philadelphia, met Mr.. Gordigi-
AMI in Europe two years ago. Being
both much interested in art, they were
soon fast friends. The young Italian
soon found that his regard for the
American girl overmastered all other
sentiment, and, after an acquaintance
OF about year, he proposed. Then it
was that Miss Carpenters American
ism asserted itself. She did not at
tempt to conceal her affection for Mr..
Gordigiani. but declared that under no
circumstances would she consent to
take up her permanent abode in a for
eign country. Her lover soon disposed
OF what she had feared would be a seri-
Gus difficulty by declaring he would
make the United States the land of his
adoption. That was entirely satisfac-
tory to all parties concerned, and the
engagement was shortly announced.
Two or three weeks ago the prospective
bride and groom arrived in Philadel-
phia, where his fame as an artist was
already known. Mr.. Gordigiari is
known in the art world as "Gordigiani
the younger" and is on the sunny side
of 30. His father has been painter to
the italian court since 1860, and the
work of the elder is we'll known in this
country. The family has a splendid
mansion In Florence, and country
house in Tuscany, up among the Apen-
mines, over 1000 feet above the level
OF the sea. For centuries the family
has been known to the art world, Miss

ALL oopsoNs OF EUGENE.
Frenchmen Born the Same Day as tine

/ frenchmen Horn the same Day M tne
prince Imperial Are Lucky.
Three thousand eight hundred and
thiry-four male children were born In
France on March 49, 1856, the same day
that the Inflated prince imperial came
into the world, says the New York
World. His mother, ex-Empress Eu-
genie, became a godmother to them all.
Ii is said that the ex-empress has re-
Gently made her will, and in IL has be-
queathed a trifiing legacy to each OF
her gcdsons, whose names and adj
dresses she still preserves. The origi-
nal number, however, must have been
sadly depleted by death in the nearly
forty years which have elapsed, and of
bearded men who will claim their be-
quest when Eugene dies there may be
less than half thousand.
The contrast between that March day
nearly four decades ago and the ex-
empress present fortune is striking.
Then the reign of Napoleon III. was in
the heyday of its power, and the ma
ton, drunken with military glory, wish
ed as heartily as its ruler for an helr
to the throne. Early on the morning
of the 10th the cannon doomed from
the Invalides, announcing the deliver

crown which had been given him by
nearly 100000 votes. France, radiant
in her rejuvenated glory and her recon-
