not uninteresting to our readers
The chief role is played by money
the prime mover in sueh affairs
An eye witness recited to us the
occurrence in the following words
One evening that I took tea
with an intimate friend of mine
while we were seated at the table
Mr. Baker, my friend’s husband
ivhile absently feeling in his vest
pocket, found a five dollar note
55’hich he had no recollection of
putting there.
' Halloa!’ lie exclaimed,' that is
no place for you. I should have
put you in my pocket-book.—
Here, wife, don’t you want some
ready money ?’ and he threw the
note across the table to her.
' Many thanks,’ she replied;
' money is always acceptable, al
though I have 110 present use for
it.’ She folded the note and put
it under the edge of the tea-tray,
and then proceeded to pour out
the tea and attend to the wants of
her guests.
At her right, sat Mrs. Easton
or Aunt Susan, 5vhom we all knew
as an acquaintance, who, from
time to time, spent a week with
Mrs. Baker. Her visit was just
at an cud, and she was about to
return home that evening. As
Mrs. Baker was pouring out her
tea, it occurred to her that she
>vns in her aunt’s debt for certain
small matters, and when she had
the o||portunity, she pushed the
note under her plate, saying:
' Here, aunty, take this five dol
lars in part payment of my debt.’
' Very 5vcll,’ she replied, * hut
the money does not belong to
me. I owe you fifteen dollars,
my dear Grace, which you lent
me last Saturday. 1 had to pay
the taxes on my little bouse and
had not the ready money, aud
Grace lent it to me,’ exclaimed
aunt Susan.
Grace, an orphan, was a cousin
to Mrs. Baker. She and her
brother Frank boarded with her,
and made a very pleasant addi
tion to the family circle. She
was studying music, aud her
brother was a clerk iu a mercantile
establishment.
As soon as aunt Susan received
the note, she handed it to Grace,
saying
' I will give you this uoiv on ac
count, and the rest as soon as I
get it.’
'All right,’ auswered Grace,
laughing, * aud since we all seem
in the humor to pay our debts, I
will folloiv suit. Frank, I owe
you something for music you
bought me; here is part of it;’
and she threw the bank note across
the table to her brother, who sat
opposite
us count up,’ said Grace.’
' Mrs. Baker gave aunt Susan
fifteen dollars, which aunt Susan
gave me—I gave Frank twelve
dollars and sixty-two cents-Frank
gave Mr. Baker ten dollars; alto
gether fifty-two dollars and sixty
two cents.’
'It’s all nonseuse, I tell you
cried Mr. Baker, again, * you all
05ve each other Avliat you owed
before/
'You are deceived, my dear, by
the rapid, unbroken race this lit
tle sum has made ; to me, it is as
clear as daylight,’ replied Mrs.
Baker.
' If it is all nonsense, how could
the note 5vhieh you gave Mrs.
Baker, if nothing to me or to you,
he divided between us tivo ?’ asked
Grace.
Mr. Baker didn’t seem to see
it very clearly, but the others did,
and they often relate this little
history for the amusement of their
friends.

We were all
see how the note wandered around
the table.
' This is a wonderful note,’ said
Mr. Baker, ' I only wish some
body oivcd me something and
owed somebody something, so
that I could come into the ring.’
' You can,’ said Frauk. ' I owe
Mrs. Baker, or you, it’s all the
same, for my board; I herewith
pay you part of it.’
Amid general laughter, Mr.
Baker took the note and playfully
threw it again to his wife, saying,
'It’s yours again, Lucy, because
what belongs to mo belongs to
you. It has completed the round,
and we have all had the benefit
of it.’
'And now it must go round

Stamping Checks,
On the 8th instant, a law was ap-
S roved by the President of the United
tates amending the existing Federal
customs and internal revenue laws,
which enlarges theclass of drafts and
checks on banks that are required to
bej stamped vvitli two cent revenue
stamps.
The section referred to and now in
operation is as follows:
Sec. 15. That the words “ bank
check, draft, or order for payment of
money whatsoever, drawn from any
bmk, banker or trust company, at
sight or demand, two cents,” in sched
ule B of the act of June 30, 1864, be,
and the same is hereby stricken out,
and the followiug paragraph inserted
in lieu thereof:
“Bank-check, draft, order, or vouch
er for the payment of any sum of mon
ey whatsoever, drawn upon any bank,
hanker or trust company, two cents."
The change in the law is embraced
making the addition of the word
“voucher” in the description of the
notes referred to, and in striking out
the words “at sight or demand.” A s
it now stands the law is understood to
include every possible kind of paper
on which money can be drawn from
a banking house, and to require every
such paper to be stamped with a two
cent internal revenue stamp.—Savan
nah Advertiser.
A Wonderful Invention.
THE PEN SUPERCEDED BY A WRITING
MACHINE.
We were shown yesterday, in the
office of Col. E. W. Cole, President
of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis railroad, an invention which
claims something more than a passing
notice. It is called the Typewriter,
and is useful for all kinds of manu
script writing. A simple touch upon
a key produces a letter, and the action
is as easy as that of piano; consequently,
the speed with which writing can be
performed is only limited by the ce
lerity with which the operator can
move his fingers. There are experts
in the country who can already write
eighty words to the minute.
The writing is done in a small capi
tal, with either black or purple ink.
The latter is used when an impression
is wished for the letter hook, and the
result is far superior to the best pen
manship, being plainer and muoh more
compact, thus saving much time in the
reading thereof, besides the minor con
sideration of stationery.
It will take twenty-four manifold co
pies at once, and'four on ordinary
letter paper.
In appearance it is highly orna
mental, and not unlike a sewing ma
chine, The keys are in four rows, of
eleven each, so compactly arranged .that
but little movement of the arm and
wrist is required for its manipulation

immediate result of plsiut decay;
and farmers siowly yielded their
long-cherished belief that the
black portions of the soil alone
could make plants. These new
doctrines gave rise to the use of a
subsoil plough, which, without el
evating the subsoil to tho surface
disturbed it, and permitted a free
circulation of atmosphere hetwecu
its particles. The deep cuts made
by the plough also acted partially
as under-drains, and permitted
under some special conditions of
surface—such as the slope of hills
etc.—redundant xvater to pass
away. Air necessarily entered
and chemical * changes occurred
the surface of the particles of the
subsoil ivere soon conditioned so
as to sustain roots, and they pass
ed into it to greater depths than
had been before knoivn. These
in turn, absorbed from the subsoil
larger quantities of inorganic mat
ter, rendered soluble by chemical
changes consequent upon moisture
and air. The constituents were
taken into the plants above, and
portions not marketable as crops
decayed in the upper soil, addinj
to the greasy, unctuous, organic
matter, new portions of inorganic
food for future crops. Plants had
longer roots as 5vcll as greater
number of fibres, and larger crops
ivas the consequence. The decay
of these roots in the soil left tubes
to great depths; the atmosphere
could come in laden with ga. i es
resulting from vegetable decom
position, required by plants; rains
and dcivs, which wash the nitrogc
nous exhalations of all organic na
turc from the atmosphere, de
scended into the subsoil, which
gradually changed color so as to
make deep loamy soils in locali
ties 5vhero before, only sparse,
shallow-rooted crops could he
;ro\vn. All of this was heard of
l»y the American farmer long be
fore he ivas awakened to action ;
and even now, wheu every truly
practical fanner owns a subsoil
plough, he can tell you of some
neighbor who cautioned him
against its use, and who insisted
that the deep disturbance of his
soil, would let all the manures
filter downward; forgetting that,
if that were true, every well
would be the receptacle of- the
results of decay, every spring
would he a cesspool, and every
rivulet hut uu organic charnel
house. Nature, in tho wisdom of
her laws, has rendered the carbon
and alumina of the soil, after
proper exposure to atmospheric
influences, capable of receiving
ni:d retaining all the results of de
cay ; and the value of a farm must
to a great extent, depend on the
depth to which its surface by dis
turbance, is rendered capable of
performing this peculiar function.
Thoroughly subsoil-ploughed
lands soon become capable of
deeper surface ploughing, with
out injuring the crops; and, if un
der-drained, which is but the per
fection of the very principles pre
sented ill the theory of subsoil
ploughing, then all the mechani
cal conditions necessary for the
maximum results are secured;
and when these exist, the condi
tions follow as a natural conse
quence. ,
Among «*the advantages arising
from subsoil ploughing, may bo
enumerated the followiug: the
value of land for agricultural pur
poses is, in many instances,
doubled, especially, when sub
stances are not disturbed too deep
ly, which might, for the time be
ing, he unfriendly to vegetation;
the relative amount of manure re
quired, as compared with the
amount of produce, is lessened;
the farm is essentially protected
from the effects of drought; all
future labor of the farm is mate
rially lessened, and thus the ex
penses of* teams, the wear and
tear of agricultural implements,
are all decreased, whilo the quali
ty of crops, aud their quantity
aro so augmented that, per bushel
or per pound, they take a prefer
ence in every market.—Pen and

Dr. J. Walker’s California
Vinegar Bitters are a purely Veg
etable preparation, made chiefly from
the native herbs found on the lower
ranges of the Sierra Nevada moun
tains of California, the medicinal
properties of which are extracted
therefrom without the uso of Alcohol.
The question is almost daily asked,
“ What is the cause of tho unpar
alleled success of Vinegar Bit
ters V’ Our answer is, that they
remove the cause of disease, and
the patient recovers his health. They
are the great blood purifier and a
life-giving principle, a perfect Reno
vator and Invigorator of the system.
Never before in the history of the world
has a medicine been compounded pos
sessing tho remarkable qualities of Vir-
soar Bitters in healing the sick of
every disease man is heir to. They are
a gentle Purgative as tvell as a Tonic,
relieving Congestion or Inflammation of
the Liver and Visceral Organ*, in Bilioni
Diseases.
The properties of Db. Walk
er’s Vinegar Bitters aro Aperient, Dia
phoretic, Carminative, Nutritions, Lsi»-
tiro, Diuretic. Sedative, Counter-Irritant,
Sudorific, Altrr:i' : vt\ and Anti-Bilions.
