The Bank of England.

The Bank of England was one hundred and eighty-five years old

January 27, 1879, having received its charter of incorporation January 2%, 1694. The bank was projected by Wiilam Paterson, a Seotchman. Con- stitated as a joint stock company, with a captial of £1,200,000, the whole sum was lent at interest to the Goverment of William and Mary, then much em- barrassed. At the outset it was servant of the state, and has ever since coptinued such more ‘The charter, granted at first eleven years. has been from time to time re- newed, the last renewal, subject to modi- fication or revocation, having been in 1844. Fora while business was done in oneroom ; now the bank occupies, as everybody knows, a large building in Threadnecdle street, and employs some eight hundred men. Nothing less than a £5 note is ever issued, and no note is issued a second time. The average amount of notes in circulation is £25,- 000,000.

EIGHTEEN FEET IN LENGTH.

It will be remembered by many that soon after the announcement that Cap tain Crapo of New Bedford had suc- ceeded in crossing the Atlantic in his tiny craft, it was reported that another venturesome seaman proposed to sur- pass the feat by undertaking a voyage around the world in astill smaller craft than that of Crapo’s. Lewis Gerhardt Goldsmith, a Dane, who has followed the sea from boyhood, is the new ad- venturer, and since February last he hus been engaged in superintending the building of his boat, Mr. W. B. Smith

of South Boston being the builder. The

and about 6 feet 3 inches beam, being about a foot shorter than Crapo’s. It is rized with an extra tall mast and extremely large sails for so small a vessel, and bears a general appearance toasmall yacht. Its construction is a marvel of compactness and skill, and seems to make it proof against injury or sinking from the worst of storms. ° It is built on the general principle of a life-boat, with watertight compartments fore and aft, that will keep it afloat even if the body of the boat should be- come filled with water. There is a snug little cabin with a bed, and this can be entirely shut in so tightly as to exclude the entrance of water.

An Engineer’s Need Of Nerve.

Unquestionably the bravest men in America are those who stand upon the footboards of the locomotives which draw the fast express trains. But few persons are aware of it, but on the lead- ing railways, where connections must be made if possible, only engineers known to be brave and daring are given enginés on express trains, and as soon ay an engineer shows the least timidity about ruaning fast he is taken from his engine and given one on afreight train to rune Lwo such cases have occurred recently-on Indianapolis roads. Rail- road Officers state that the first sign that an engineer_is becoming timid is that He will be five to ten minutes late, possibly half an hour, for some days or nights in succession. He is then called

convincing another engineer is given his engine to run for a few times, and should he bring the train in promply on time, the first named engineer gets a freight tiain engine to ran until he bracesup. It is stated however, that after an engineer allows his timidity to get a fair hold he seldom so far overcomes it as to have the bravery to step on te an express train engine and run it at the speed necessary to make the time. Quite recently, an engineer on one of the roads ruaning west from here got an impression that some acci- dent was to happen to him, and one night, when running a fast express he constantly lost time, At the first station where the train stoppcu the con- ductor berated him for running so slow The engineer actually shed teas. and ewned that fears had overcome him, and that he dare not run fast, and at hisown request an engineer of a freight- train whieh stood at this meeting point was given the train to run through that night, the conductor telegraphed the train-master, asking that the re— quest be granted. The timid engineer

has since runa freight train on the road,

htiion i Leading Jews of New York are advocat- ing services in their Synagogues on the Christian Sabbath. They say ‘‘the main principle of the Jewish religion is that the Jews ought to worship in the Temple every day, and therefore there is ne wrong done in worshipping on Sunday, providing it is understood to be a week-day service.” The trouble is that the great majority of Jews in the cities are obliged to engage in busi- ness pursuits on Saturday (the Jewish Sabbath) and are thus deprived of religious instruction on that day. —-—__-#+<>r—— Froude’s ‘‘ Cesar” is to be publishe? in America next week. It is noted as an in- teresting cirewmstance that Mr. Froude should become the biographer of Cvsar after having said in one of. his ‘‘ Short Studies” that ‘‘in no language, ancient or modern, is there any adequate, biography of him.” So long ago as that Mr. Froude further said: ‘‘In recorded history no single man (perhaps with the exception of Mahomet) has produced effects so vast and enduring as Julius Cesar.” — Oe George Eliot’s books were especially fas- cinating to the late Prince Albert. He was particularly fond ef novels of character. Mr. Martin said that the Prince revelled in the humor of these books, and often quoted the sayings of Mrs. Poyser. He liked ‘* Adam Bede” so much that he sent a copy of it to Baron Stockmar, saying: ‘‘ [t will amuse you by the fulness and variety of its studies of human character. By this study —your favorite one—I find myself every day more and mere attracted.”

The Death-rate. of 2

Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonable cause, death resulting generally from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in ihe hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thon- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while had Bosshee’s German Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided. For all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Bos- ehee’s German Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest discovery of its kind in medi- cine. Every Druggist in this country will tell you of its wonderful effect. Over 950,- 000 bottles sold last year without a single failure known.

T. J. B. Harvie, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

DeEaR Sir—It is now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced to me. I have waited this ong to see if the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, to you, as poems tis effects seemed to me to be “‘too good to true.”

I was afilicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Catarrh. In reading in yout Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars. The inward “drop had become very disagreeable, and a'choking sensation often preventing me from lying long, 1 would feel like smothering and be com to sit up in the bed. My health and sp were seriously affected.. When your agent cameto Walkertown in August, 1876, I three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re-_ lief, and when I had used two bottles and a third. I quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my heed. A sense of duty to sufferers from that loath- some. disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send, you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave te: make what use of it yon may see proper, Yours truly,
