In fact, tho losscy ocourring to that institution from forged notos nre, and always havo been, commonsurate with tho grealness of its transactions, Bowo of tho mora curious of tese forgerios are porhaps worth narrating. Johnu Mnihison was a man of great mechanieal capacity, who, becoming acquainted with an on- graver, unlappily acquired that art which ulthinately proved his min. A yot more dangerous qualification was his “of imi- tating eigoatures with inconceivable acenracy, "Pomptad by the hope of sucden wealth, his flrst forgories were the notes of n country hank.

Having been in tho habitof procuring notos from thio brnlk (the moro acoutately to copy thom) ho clianced to be thore when a clerk from tha excise office paid in 7,000 guineas in gold, ouo of whick waa seruplod. Mathison, from a dietanco, said itwasn good one. *Lhen,” said the bank- clork, on tho trinl, * I recollected hi T'ho frequont visils of Mathison, who was very incautione, togethor with other circumotati- cos, created o sllbg(clan that ho might bo con- nocted with forged notes that were bulnd; contin- ually presented.

Thero was & roluc- tance to make tho matter public, and My, Bacon was desired to Icop silence; *“but,” the lattor wout on to say, *if you invite John to dinner, and when alono taxhim with the crinie, ho might perhaps rofund thio money.

The following morning Mr, Bacon went to his bnuker to pay in the notes, and found to hin surpriso that thoy wero nll countorfeits.

T'k:o following notico appeared in the Témes of August, 1968 : * On tho 17th inst., £10 wero paid into the bank, for which the clork, as usual, gave o ticket to receivo a bank noto of oqual value, Thin ticket onght to hiave beon cerriod immodiatelyto ho ensbicr, instoad of which tho boarer took it away, curiously added an 0 to tho original sum, nnd presonted to tho eashiers noto of £100. In tho ovening the clorks found a deficionoy in thio nccounts ; and, on examining the tickols of tho day, not only that, bul two others, vore dis- eovered to have been oblainod in tho tamo man- nor. In tho one the fignra 1 way altered to a 4, and in another to 5, by which tho artist recoivod near £1,000." During tho hurry attoudant upon n proolama- tion mado in front of tho Royal Exchango ano day lnst wintor, whon the gorgeous costume of tho herald, and Lho caparisons of the horses, and tho proud 'bonring ol garter-at-avms, and the nound of martiul musio, and the raports of the “Tawer artillery, and tho noiso of teumpots, ar- rested nttention, fourtoon forged notos of £i0 ench were presented ab tho ollico and cash paid for thom.

THE COMMUNE IN THE CEME‘.TERY. A Sceno in Pere-ln-Chalse, About two weeks ago, tho Parininna colabrate thio Foto dos Morts, uad docoratod tho graves ot thoir dend with fmmortalles. A correspondent of the London Telegraph, aftor describing somo of ;g%nnmmu,tuvzdu: iy i » ‘‘Tho most tragically interosting part of Poro-la-Cliniso hins no gravestonos wl};‘,uvor. although there is no En\'l in which the desd aro 80 olodolv piled togethor. ‘That {s tha corner in which tho Communists mado thoir lash fight, and wero shob down like dogs. Driven from point to Ralue, thoy tool rofugo in tho come- tery, and offored "the desperato rosistanco of mon who know that overy chance of life fs gouo. ‘Tho marks of the conflict aro ter- ribly vivid, " In ono placo aro piled g mess of the giavestouos, bohind which the Communiats fought, and which wore broken by the cannot-shot. A lnrgo gap in tho wall, Aillod up by & wooden paling, marks tho placo up which tho Vorsaillnis cutered tho cemotery, antd other parts aro rent from top to hottom by can- nou-shot. Againat enothor portion of the wall the survivors of tho desperate fight wera driven and mowed down by the mitrailleuso. _No quar- tor wag givon, and the bodics of the dend wero flung into n hugetrench sud hastily buried. Evon yot tho wall in spatterod with marks of the Bhot, which ave hortibly suggestive of the ear- naga; but atill moro striking wera the symbols of affection which had heon furtively token o the spot. Somo daring hand had draivn a black crons on tho wall, whila Lers and thero had been placod garlands of immortelies or bunches of dlowors. Somo of tho wrenths woro such ay lay on tho graves of men and womon who had dieil in ponco; butmontof the eymbols were only small bunches of violats aud imuortelles, which socmod to indicate either that the mourners had boen too poor to buy the ordinary garlands, or _that thoy had chosen such symbols ns could bo easily hiddon from tho oyo of tho police, Four policomon wera on tho spot, watching tho per- sons who camie, but theydid not touch the marks of mourning for the Communists. I saw two younz men tako off their caps in salutation to tho dend, and thon glance round to sce whellor tho policowere Jooking ; but the guardinun of tho peacowero prudontly blind torll thesomanifesta- tions, and nothing could bo moro peacoful than tho whole of the crowd. A largo body of polica and n squadron of dragoons had been sent to fho cometery to prevent any politicnl manifestation, but wothing called for any oxorcizo of forzo. Yot nono the less eloquontly did the brolon grave-ptoney, the nhattored wall, and tho marks of tho mityaillouse recall tho terriblo days of tho Commune; and nono the less ominously did tho bunchos of flowers on tho graves of the Communists reyenl the fires that still slumber beneath the surfaco of Parisian society.” e g A Xumane Suzgestions Apropos of tho Ashantee war, tho London Court Journal malkes the following humane avg- gestion: ““Wa are told that the gold const is'a 188 of imponotrable jungle and forest, through which it 18 difilcult to march, and in which tho cnomy can safoly hido.
