The government hostile to him, he suffered Instills, yet lie sleadlly pressed his scheeme— the penny stamp. Every obstacle was thrown In his path. Parliament foam- j ed at the mouth, and declared he wntifd ruin the country, and upset the throne. The official world guffawed when he . appeared before a commission of post office inquiry to describe his Invention— the penny stamp— "an adhesive imstage stamp, a bit of paper. Just large enough to bear the Imprint of her Majesty's bust, and covered at the hack with a glutinous wash." t Rut the diplomatic ability, and the dare and push of his old ancestor In his veins, carried him through to triumph for the people. On January 10. J 840. penny postage was established. Thr gross revenue rose from 1,000.000 pounds to 4.000.000 pounds. The business of the money order office multiplied fifty two fold, lie was buried In WestmlnstATjtibey. London— the highest honor a grateful nation could accord him.— Kansas City Journal. Old Printer a Wonder. . There was Old Limerick, an old man since llrst known. land the boys used tn say he was not only born an old man but was fighting when he llrst saw the light. He would worts until n few dollars were due him. and on thlic would raise enough to get drunk, and when drunk he was worse than a eowpen full of wildcats. He was In bad with the police of every city In the South, and at tlmt time there wasn't a policeman In This county who had not at Home time or other been scratched or bitten by him. Crippled though' he was he was a match for a squad, and It was never rtmld lie put Into a -black marla. . And yet this man who wore his shirts ami socks until they dropped from him. and who never bathed fpr years at a time, and whose every oth-v er word was an oalh. eould discuss theology with a hlshnp, or politics with Rob Toombs. — Macon Telegraph. Beverage of Pine Balaam. The threatened emptiness of "the cup that chccra. but not Inebriates," reminds a correspondent that Oowper was less original than many readers suppose In framing that line. Lone before his time. Bishop Berkeley applied the same encomium to a drink made of pine balsam, In these "The luminous spirit lodged nad detained In the native balsam of pints and firs Is of a nature so mild and benign and proportioned to the human constitution ns to warm without heating, to cheer hut not Inebriate, and to produce a calm nnirsseady Joy like the effect of good news, without that sinking of spirits which Is a subsequent effect on all fermented cordials."

Functions of a Bank I V ^ The actual shipment of coin, however, for each transaction, would involve much risk anil expense, and where trade ran both ways there wa* an obvious gain by offsetting the transactions, which soon developed the use of bills of exchange. If a dealer in Rome was shipping certain goods to Athens and nt the same time receiving certain goods from Athens, he could easily discharge his own obligation by giving his creditor an order on his debtor; and if there were numerous house* in the trade it would be only another step for them to buy and sell bills as suited their con- „ ' venience, ami one step more to the development of the bill-broker or banker who bought and sold bill* on all market*. When Cicero w-as about to send his son to school In Athens he wrote to inquire "whether he can take a bilWor the money he will want in Athens, or whether he mast take the money itself with him." This indicates that the settlements between distant cities were handled then substantially as now, by^g system of book entries and offsets. / ' A banker Is a bookkeeper and settling agent for his community in it* transactions with the outside world. The products which are shipped out create credit* or deposits, in distant ban|(s in favor of local banks, and the , ] purchases outside are setUed by drawing against these credit*. Since all business in the last analysis consiat* of »n exchange of products ami services, if follows that when the checks and drafts arising from current transactions are brought together in the clearing houses they practically offset and cancel each other. A big Chicago meat-packing concern with a turnover 5 of more than a billion dollars per annum, selling meats and by-products in all purts of the world, will draw drafts against it* shipments as they are made, turn them over to its bankers and receive immediate credit at their discounted value, thus replenishing it* funds for the pureh*sc of more ,11*®stock, etc. The task of collection is a banking function, particularly suited j to the employment of the class of fuqpl* which a commercial bank has in its custody. As the collections come in, the bank is reimbursed for its ; advances; the process is continuous and unending. f . , - . | FIRST NATIONAL BANK OCEAN OTY, N. J. .
