from him and the stock would be trans
ferred to the man paying the consideration
and that mans name would be placed on
the government book in the place of the
former owner. and thereafter the transferee
would receive the &3 year and the $780,
If it was ever paid back. But no paper
passed except the receipt for the purchase
money which was given by the seller to
the buyer, and which the bank official
checked with red mark. These receipts
were not certificates of ownership, and were
seldom preserved never except for purposes
of identification when the new owner went
to draw his first dividend. After that they
were destroyed 1t is true that in old times,
the owner of a consol was given a tally,
which was nothing but a block Of wood with
notcheS on it, split in two so that a portion
of each notch should be on each half, and
the government kept one-half and the own
er of the stock the other half. These
showed the state of the account between
the government and it's creditor, but this
was an antiquated system of keeping ac-
counts, brought down from the days when
writing was little known, and at last they
were abolished by act of Parliament and
burned. There were many of them that
when they were thrown into the furnaces
these became superheated, and the Parlia-
ment houses burned down, which perhaps
served the authorities right for keeping up
the antiquated system so long.

and Chinas sacred lore is shown by a series
of volumes from the Celestial empire, con-
tanning the complete works of Confucius.
One of the most curious books in the
collection is a Persian work. written on thin
strips of wood, about three inches wide and
a foot in length. Associated with this is a
modern Persian manuscript, written on
small octagonal leaves, which fit into case
by way of binding.
After looking at an Arabic manuscript we
come to the medieval books, with their
illuminated capitals and margins; then to q
series of horn books, such as children in
Shakspeares time learned their alphabets
works, principally upon art. costuming, dec
GRAFTON and kindred subjects. OF the latter
one Of the finest is the portfolio filled with
WOOdcutS by Timothy Cole, reproducing the
works Of the early italian painters.
A series of Chinese prints, dating from the
end Of the last and the beginning of this
century. are particularly interesting as be-
ing examples of a school Of art which haS
practically ceased to exist.
Modern Chinese wood cuts do not compare
in richness of coloring to those of two or
three generations ago.
Modern Oriental art is represented by
some Japanese prints depicting scenes in
influence, but the old generation or artists
have bequeathed to their successors much
of their skill in line drawing, as well az
their keen appreciation of color. A striking
print illustrates a combat upon the waters
brink at the foot of a lofty HILL behind
which the sun is sinking to rest. The fig
uPes of the cOmbatantS are almost hidden
in the dusk of evening, but are reflected
strongly In the still river at their feet.
A number of etchings. showing scenes In
old Paris and some photographs Of old
English houses. complete the exhibition.

Gle is the enemy of the pianist who makes
his living by his art. And this suggests the
truism that despite the wealth, the lux
ury, the adulat:on so freely bestowed on
these putative children of fortune, the life
of the great artist is not a happy one. The
pianist must be continually thinking of his
hands; the singer must never forget the
tyranny of his voice, unless he happens to
be a Wagnerian singer, pure and simple,

SANITY OF GENIUS.
A Fine Distinction Drawn Between
Washington and Lincoln.
Chicago Post.

Chicago Post.
1t was in his noble tribute to the genius
of George Washington yesterday that
George r. Peck declared that the first al
tribute of genius was absolute sanity, ana
proceeded to declare that the father of his
degenerate grandsons and great-grandsonS,
native and naturaliZed, looking back
through the vista of hundred years. are
willing to acknowledge that George WASH
ington was not only, pre-eminently out pre-
ternaturally, superhumanly sane. Upon
Apollos roll of greatness, from Moses to
Lincoln, no other name stands forth SO
compact Of the genius of sanity, the san
ity Of genius, as does that of George WASH
ington. AT the cherry tree, at Du Quesne,
town. as President, at Mount Vernon, the
genius of absolute sanity presided over ms
acts and ruled his life. His sanity was the
sheet anchor of the revolution and or the
first stormy days of the Republic, ana IL
is to that same serene, immovable sanity
the rawlings of discomfort send shudder
through the Nation.
Abraham Lincolns sanity was IN the ma
ture of a saving salt 1t did not permedte
his whole being as it did that OF Washing
ton There was a look in those deep, sor-
rowful eyes that seemed to see visions be-
yond the reach of human sanity. surely
they communed with spirits that never VS.
tied the dreams Of George Washington II
we can conceive he ever dreamed.
The sanity of Washington was rock;
that Of Lincoln an equilibrium, preserved
by the sacred sense and habit or humor;
The greatness of Washington was oased
on sanity; that of Lincoln was merely pre-
served by it. IT is possible to conceive the
equilibrium of Lincoln mlnd overtnroWn,
of one was poise of the other, an all-per-
VadiQR possession.
