The priests have considerately organized a bank for the spirit world. To this the provident may remit large sums during their life time, and can draw on the bank as soon as they reach the dark country. The priests periodically announce their in tention of remitting money on a certain day, and invite all who have any to de posit to bring it. All who feel doubt ful of the generosity of their next heirs accordingly tome and buy from the priests as much as they can afford of the tinfoil paper money which is cur rent among tin; spirits. It is an excel lent investment, as for a handfull of brass cash, altogether worth about one penny, they will receive sycee, i. e., tiie boat-shaped blocks of silvery look ing tinfoil, bearing a spiritual value of $ol). Paper houses, furniture and clothes may in like manner be purchased and stored beforehand in the happy security that neither moth nor rust shall corrupt them, neither shall thieves break through and steal. When the depositor (probably a poor cooley or an .aged beg gar) has invested his little savings in this precious ruobish in the e.cL*siast- ieal bazar he delivers it to the priest, | together with a sum of real money as i commission. For this the priest gives a i j written receipt. All this din is thrown I into a largo boat. It is a framework of I reeds with a bamboo mast, and its sails and planking are of paper.

Cien. Duller'* Mfcn at Ship Inland. [Chicago Herald.) “I’ve heard a good deal about minors gathering round a stage coach to see a utmian get off,” remarked an old sol dier, “but 1 saw a little sceue of that kind once during the war that beat ’em all. It was at Ship island, near New Orleans (Jen. Butler, you know, was in command. There were n,000 or 10,- 00d men camped there. The soldiers' tents were on both sides of a plank walk laid down in the sand. That walk was fully a mile and a half long. Well, sir, there wasn’t a woman on the island, not oven a colored woman. Most of ka hadn't seen a woman for three months. “One day it was rumored Gen. Butler's niece, Blanche— Blanche— Whatsher- lame.'—anyway she married the gov ernor of Mississippi—was coming to visit at the island, iou never saw such ex citement among a lot of men. If wed been told a Confederate cruiser was go ing to sweep the place with shells before daylight it woutdn t have caused so much commotion. Sure enough, next afternoon sho landed. Escorted by some o.ncers she started up that plank walk. The news of her corning traveled faster thanshedid, though, b -ing passed from mouth to inou.h a.ong the tents. Well, if there wasn't a gittin* up and dusting in that camp. Every man of us able to move ftaried for the plamc walk. The lame walked up, some crawled on the sand, and the sick begged to be carried. “The young lady—and she was as pretty ?s a picture-walked that mile and a half let ween two row’s of gaping, a Inuring men, each row twenty men deep. The men were well behaved, kept still, and most of them doffed their hats But, do you know. I’ve always thought we eu.oyed it I utter than she did.” Which arc perfectly pure and fresh Remember that they make a specialty of Seeds and handle onh the best.
