ABOUT SOILED BANK NOTES. l'ank notea are cleaner than they used to be. It in the policy of the New York bank to send thoir soil ed n'-tes to the United Statca Treae nrv to be destroyed as soon ss a Siifficicn: iiumlH;r acciiniiilatt'8 to justify it. Banks in the West send on whole batches of swiied New York notes to their correspondent banks in this city, and the bank that receives them sorts them out and sends round each little batch to the banks by which they were isncd. These sorted ntes are then sent to the Tnastiry to be de stroyed hnd others issued in their place. New York is thus a sort of de ot for foiled and damaged notes of its own imiie. The printing pro cess for bank notes has been so de veloped of late years that the Gov ernment has adopted this policy of ntfjticntly destroying soiled notes and reissuing good ones. The Bank of England never lets a note go out a second time. Its lowest notes arc for 5, so that the loss per pound is cotnp iralively small in thus destroying little used notes. Some, indeed, come into the bunk as frceli in appearance as when they were issued. A note coming in is niarKeo lor destruc tion and laid away for a time. Meanwhile the name and address of the presenter are taken, along with the nntiiher of the note, in order that there may be some c'ue in case such a note is reported as stolen It is not suspected how import it an element in a bank's profit on circulation is the destruction and loss of notts in the hands of holders. This was much larger in dys when n-Usuis were lees fre- inetit tlisn now. 1 ho larger the amount a bank may issue the great er the loss in the hands ot the peo ple. A bank of this city that shun ned its circulation before the opening ot tne civil war yet lias manv thousands of its old notes out. They were outlawed years ago, though $3,000 of them pre sented about ten years a:o were identified and redeemed. The whole issue of the bank was only about $250,000. Although t lie average life of a Bank of England note is said to be but five days, and one seldom en counters a soiled l!.:tik of England note in London, those notis circu late for years in the colonies, for they are taken abroad by travellers and are current almost every where. They circulate along with our notes in the regions hot dvn British (iiiiana. There are Scotch and Iritth banks ot issuo emitting small notes, and t!cse notea are ol ten greasy and worn, since they are not regularly destroyed when they reach the home bank. Canadian bank notes are current along our northern border, and they are suf ficiently like our own, being in dol lar denominations, to deceive those not acciibtomcd to make thodiatinc tion. They are often kept long in circulation on the border, and are occasionally worked off on the vis iting New Yorker, who finds them uncurrent in thU city and must ex change at a discount. New York Sun. The Real Issue. This arrogant money poer, blinded by seltirhness and pride of wealih, will do well not to force the issue. For if the issue is joined the end is sure. The people will tri umph. And if it should seem to the people, the millions ot New England and the Middle States, the tens of millions of tho already passionately indignant South and tho great West, that the inevitable alternative forced upon them hy tlihs ring i either government by secret Wail 6troctsyndi!i'ea or free silver, they will choose free silver. The American people will never consent to the virtual control of their gov ernment by Wall htreet. And there are tens of thousitiids of honest souiid-uioiiey men who, when com pelled to chotwe U-tween the two evils, will, however reluctantly, rather submit to free silver than to role by tho Wall street money power.

X. Prevents flair from Falling Out THE SYNDICATE NO GOOD. MR. MORGAN ANNOUNCES DISSOLVED. THAT IT IS J. P. Moigan has dissolved the syndicate, which was formed for tho nnroose c.f loaning the govern merit a hundred million dollars in gold. The members of the syndicate received a circular announcing that their subscription will not be re (inired and that the contract signed does not therefore remain in force, The circular is accompanied bv copy- of a letter writien by if Mo,. an to President Cleveland two da;s before the bond issue was announced, that in any event, whether the President decided to issuo a popular loan call or enter into C3ntract with tho syndicate, he and the syndicate could be depend cd upon to furnish the treasury sumcient gold to maintain its credit Mr. Morgan .-,nds out, under his own iiiznature. an explanation of his position in a two column state ment. He says that during his viit to Vashingten no negotiations for a loa. were commenced or sug gested, nor was there any agree inent entered into then or sinco that lie should take steps prepara tory to making a contract. As a result of the visit he learned that the President and Secretary Car lisle were determined to maintain the gold reserve, but no action would lie taken until it was learned what Congress would d- ; that the executive department preferred to secure two hundred millions in gold to avoid tho probable necessi ty of similar negotiations bef jro the metttng ot the next Congress snd that it was absolutely certain Con gress would giant no aid. Mr. Morgan says, further, '"upon my return to New York, appreciat ing the full gravity of the situation, I prepared to make a loan of two hundred millions which was acconi plished iu four days. Among the contributors are leading banks of this country, Germany, Belgium, France, Holland and Switzerland. I waited several days to hear from Washington and then sent a special messenger with a letter addressed to tho President." With great hes itation he addressed him iu relation to the scrii us financial situation and continuing, suggested the most important step would be a move ment towards the restoration ot gov eminent credit by re-lacing the fold reserve. He notified tho 'resident of his preparation to take bonds to the extent of two hundred millions if such contract was desir ed. For l he best interest of the government he also offered any other aid suggested by the Pres ident. Finally, Mr. Morgan admits the success of the present loan and ex presses a desire to aid in any way poHhible to sustain the credit of the country. Every act of Proaident Cleve land shows the great wisdom of the man. For executive ability he is to-day without an equal on this con tinent. He is by all odds the grei t est etitesman America has produc ed. Time will prove it and Cleve land's name will go down in histoiy as that of a great, wise and good man. ON HIS WEDDING NIGHT. Tho Salisbury W jrld of Monday prints tho following cluster ot oc curences w hich read more like a romance than a reality, bat which are evidently true to the letter. That paper says : "Last Thursday niht Prof. John Hodges, principal ot Hodges Busi ness C liege, iu Davie county, was married to Miss Sallie Thompson in the Methodist Church at Au gusta. While the wedding cere mony was in prcgiess some one poured kerosene on the Professor's new Business College, and the same persons saturated tho Augusta Seminary and applied the torch. The Seminary was burned to the ground but a yoiing man on his way heme from the wedding dis covered the College on tire before the blaze had gained any headway and with the assistance ot the fath er of the biide and several other neighbor the tire was extinguished.

A young married woman, the wife of the private secretary of Western Congressman, says the Washington Post, was one of a par ty the other evening talking aooti leap rear. "I proposed to my husband," said she, "aud it wasn t leap year aud I'm not a new woman." Ev ery one was anxious to hear how sue tiappenoa to ao ir, tor sue is lovely woman of the womanly type. and the last one in the world to ever ask a man to marry her. Then, too, she was a belle, and had hosts ol admirore, many ol whom would have been glad to have won her. "Why, I don't know how it hap pened, loll see, Jack Had ocen attet tive to me for years, and every little while would tell me how much he loved me, and ask me if I could care tor him. 1 put him off, p then atter two or three year le began to neglect telling mo ot us love, in the meanwhile I lean cd to love him. and tried in every! Jay to make him speak, but then lb never wanted to see trie lono. i hud alwavs tried to have some at tho family about. When we were alone he was moody and silent, and no amount of sweetness on my part would bring him to an other avowal. At last he called and said that he was going to Wash ington. That there was no use of us staying out nest, lucre was no ties to hold him, and no one for whom he especially cared. I used my best endeavors to dissuade him, and hinted in every way possible that tie might expect a favorable answer if he would ask me to mar ry him. Jack stid good night to the people, and I went to the door with him. We stood at the en trance some time, aud I tried so isrd to bring him out, but no use. He spoke ot no one caring for him, and all that sort of thing. Finally, he shook hands and left. I saw him walk down the yard, and as he reached the gate I called to hitn to come back. I had seen him leave rue forever in that minute, and could not stand it. When he came up to the steps, I raid : 'Jack, I care for you a great deal.' The rest naturally followed, and we were married in the tpiing. --j - PRAYER AND WATCHFULNESS. Prayer is the soul's laying hold on God. It is tho most vital exer cise iu the spiritual life. It is to the soul what taking food is to the ody. 1 lie prayerless soul is dying, t not dead. There are few people trom whom a suddenly realized, terrible danger will not extort a prayer, llnssliows that in most men there is a latent feeling of dependence on God. there is no merit, however, in a iraycr extorted by mere fear ot ca amity. Such prayer is Belfish. Tho soul should be brought to rayer through its effort to honor God by a life of obedience. Such an effort will discover to the soul its moral impotence. Even tbo it succeed in an outward obedience, the life of the heart will not rise to the height of tho noble law of God. he heart will find itselt lacking in supreme love to God, wanting in due love to men. Brought to feel its own weakness, and still hearing the command? ot the majestic law of God, it may then cry nnto God for help to a life of perfect obedi ence. And such prayer has promise of answer : "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteous ness, for they shall be filled." But with the dependence on God there must also be a watchfulness against temptation. A mere reli ance on Goa to free us from sin in His own good time, while we goon yielding to temptation, is insulting 3 presumption, iho soul must hi the true balance between reliance on God and reliance on self. Our Savior has given the direction in words that will ever stand as the only sureguard against sin : Watch ana pray, that ye enter not into temjttittion. THE MILLENNIUM AT HAND. A dispatch from Baltimore says that Iiev. Dr. II. M. Wharton, a prominent evangelist, thinks the millennium is close at hand. In his sermon last Sunday on "The War Clouds and What they Mean," he said in part : "Christ is coming again. It will be a personal coming. He came first as prophet and priest. He will come again an king at the res urrection. He "ill call the right eous dead from their graves, and the righteous still alive will be call ed together. I believe that the Christian men and women will dis appear suddenly from the streets, and the world will know nothing about it. Men will go on with business as before. "I cannot prophesy as to the time of His coming, but according to my belief, it looks ss if this is just about the time. Look at the signs. Tli Gospel Las been preached to all nations ; there is a general tail ing away among Christians from the laiih ; there is great suffering, a tnsrtyrdom such as the world never saw, for Christ's sake ; great earthquakes, and war clonds, aud war talk more portentous than ever before. "These tacts are signs which por tend the coming ot the King." That tired feeling, loss of appe tite and nervons prostration are driven away by Hood's Sarsapsrilla, which make pure blood. THE TIME AND PLACE FOR HOLDING THE DEMOCRATIC NA TIONAL CONVENTION SETTLED. Wasiiinoton, Jan, 16 Tho Democratic .National convention will be held in Chicago on July 7th. Such was the decision reached on the twenty ninth ballot by the Na tional committee to-diy after a spirited contest in which Chicago won by a bare majority with St. Louis only two votes behind. It was practically a fight between tho free silver forces on the one hand and the hard money men on the other. This statement cannot be taken as literally correct, for several silver men finally voted for Chicago whilo other votes were cast for St. Louis by hard money men. As a matter of fact, the vote which Chicago received was, as Mr. Smalley, of Vermont, expressed it, a natural one inasmuch as it was cast by the States lying within the group known as tho .Middle, Y est and the East. St. Louis' vote 'night also be called equally natural since it came mainly Ironi the Southwest and the W est. i ho tree silver men who were bitterly hostile to New York made St Louis their rallying point ana throughout the entire twenty nine ballots they were loyal to the city of their choice. 1 he splendidshow ing made by St. Iouis surprised the best posted politicaneat the Arling ton hotel, as it was believed last night and this morning that she could not rally to exceed fifteen or eighteen votes ; that she would then drop out of the race and that the tight would narrow down to Chicago and Cincinnati. That she did stay in the race and in the concluding ballots steadily increased her strength shows how admirably her forces were disciplined. JNew lork s poor showing did not surprise any one who was ta rnilisr with tho situation. It is not that New York's campaign was not cleverly managed, for her delega tion neglected no argument that could secure her the support of the committee. It was obvious yester day afternoon that she could not win, but her representatives pluck- ily continued tho fight in the face of certain defeat. It was thought that Cincinnati might bo the second choico of a suf ficient number of members to secure the prize, but this hope was not realized. At no tune during the dav was Cincinnati a serious com petitor and at no time did she se cure more than twelve votes. Chicago began with six votes, aud it was not until the fourteenth ballot that she increased them to ten. She remained practically at that figuro until the twentieth bal- of, when her strength was increas ed to thirteen. Again she stood practically still until the twenty- feventh ballot, when her vote of tixteeu iu the preceding ballot was increased to twenty. At that time St. Louis, which had begun with nineteen, had twenty-one votes. New York had falleii to three and Cincinnati to six. It was then manifest that notonly had the tight narrowed down to Chicago and St. L uis, but that Chicago's steadily increasing gins indicated her ultimate victory. This came on the twenty-ninth ballot, when her vote of twenty-one in the twenty-e'ghth ballot was increased by five, thus giving her a bare ma jority and leaving St. Louis a dan gerous second with twenty-four, while Cincinnati was reduced to one. New York's four votes on this ballot went to Chicago, as did also one of Cincinnati's. A Mother's Awful Crime. A terrible tragedy occurred last Tuesday six miles from Marysville, Kansas, on a farm. Joseph Hilde brant, wite and eight children, the latter ranging from two to fourteen years of ago, lived happily Hilde brant went off to Kansas City to be treated at a hospital. His wife becoming despondent administered poison to the children and seven have died. The other is not expected to live. Then she completed the work of destruction by hanging herself t a rafter. The cause ot the tragedy was poverty. Mrs. Hildebrant had become des pondent on account of tho ailment ot her husband and it is supposed her mind became affected. This shows that one-half of the world don't know anything about the other half and don't care much. In every nook and corner there are people who need help and words to choir them.

For fifty years they have been apart, only this one thing dividing them. Bnt in this year of graco 1S9G they have come tosether on the negro, and the experiment of work ing not only side by side, but arm in arm in this field, is being first tried here in North Carolina. The Baptist State Mission Bofd of Piorth Carolina and the Amen can Baptist Home Society are work ing together for the education of the l'aptist ministers of the colored race in JNorth Carolina. At a recent meeting the Baptist Mission JJoard ot this State appro priated nearly $ 1,000 for this work in which the American Baptist Home Mission society is also oa gaged. It was arranged that the two boards of the same denomination were to work together in institutes, Jn these institutes prominent ministers ot both races deliver Jec turea on various theological sub jects to the colored preacliers of the surrounding section, and teach them theology as much as may be in the necessarily short period of these meetings. the institutes lat from one to two weeks, and are attended by 1 the colored ministers in the vicinity of the place where the institute is held. These institutes have already wen b"gun. The first one was held at Winton, Hertford county, the first week oi the new year. The second has been held at Luinberton, the meeting having closed biindhv. Both these institutes seem to have been successful, as far as has been heard. As lefore stated, this institute work is supported by joint appro priations trom our own State Mis sion Uoaru and trom the llome Mission Society of the Northern Baptist Church. A colored man is in charge of tho work in this State, he being designated the missionary for this section. J. II. Vincent lias been selected. The meetings are called "New Era" institutes, and will bo held in every nart of iho State. I his is the first move toward the union ot the Soulhorn and North ern churches in this work. And the experiment is being first tried in this State. Ualeigh Observer. CURIOUS THINGS. Strange bed-warmers are used by Chilian women.

Yesterday we mentioned that the National Board of Trade is at the head of a movement looking to the reduction of letter postage to one cent. Ihe Board states that the Postmaster General's teport for 1890 shows that in that year the revenue from letter postage amounted to $38,000,000, while the cost was oniy $8,000,000, leav ing a profit of $30,000,000, and that one cent letter postage in that year would have yielded a profit of It is pointed out that tho losses in tho mail service are duo to abuses connected with second class matter, which aggregated a loss the past year of more than eighteen million dollars. The Board ge6 on to state : "TLis ioss is duo mainly to the phenomenal increase in 'he mailing of novels and serial publ'cations; for under the plea of disseminating useful knowledge, dime roveis and literature of everv variety, are pub lished in such stylo as to conform to the letter of the law, aud are therefore handled by tho postal de partment at eighty-seven and a naif per cent, less than uctual cost, or at tho rate of ono cent a pound. for instance, tho Police Aews and Police Gazette; the Report of the Breckenridge Trial; Bube Burrows, King of Outlaws; the James Boys; Fate of a Libertine; aud numerous other degrading publica tions, issued at regular intervals, are carried by the postal authori ties, under existing law, at only one- eighth as much as is charged for carrying a copy of tho Bible, or a standard scientific volume; only one-sixteenth as much as is charged tor carrying the same weight of merchandise; and only one thirty second as much as is charged for carrying letters." There is no doubt that the second- class matter privilege is greatly abused and in tho interest of justice, f not in tho interest of onejnt postage, some adjustment should be made. Legitimate newspapers, periodicals and magazines should have as cheap postage as possible, out a stop should be put to the prac tice of admitting all kinds of trash to second class rates. Whether or not this would open the way to reduced letter postage without a loss, we are unable to say. t would not be sale to countlupon the present heavy second-class mat ter if the rate upon this class was ncreased, for the reason thpt much of it would be changed to other channels of transportation. Une cent letter postage would mean a big saving to the business nterests of the country and should bo adopted as soon as practicable. Winston Sentinel. The Riches That Perish. Dr. Ruthven stood at his door waiting for his carriage, till a fu- eral procession had passed, lhere had been much sickness in Stone- boro tho last few weeks, and many deaths. The funeral to-day was that of a rich merchant. As the doctor stepped into lis carriage, the words came into his miud : "For what shall it profit a man it lie shall gain the whole world, aud lose his own soal ?" He could not forget the death bed scene he hsd but recently wit- essed, the rich man dying, with all his thoughts and affections set on earthly riches. ihat evening, when hu work was dono and he had a little quiet time to himself, he sat down to think over his life. He knew he had been toiling early and late tor ong yearn, wun nouigneraim man to be a rich man. He bowed bis head on his arms on the table, and nraved earnestly that for the future he might be able to make right use of his riches, and be kept from the ove of money. As years passed on many people wondered why Dr. Ruthven, with is largo practice, did not move into a larger bouse, and live as a rich man might. The doctor's heart was set on the home beyond. He cared little or nothing for this world's goods save to uso them lor the good of his fellow creatures.
