The following story, says The Christian Advocate , conies to us from the other side of the Atlantic: “A great manufacturing company in Massachusetts recently paid its workmen on Saturday evening seven hundred ten-dollnr bills, each bill being marked. By the following Tuesday four hundred and ten of these marked bills were deposited in the bank by the saloon-keepers of the town. Four thousand and one hundred dollars had passed from the hands of woikmen on Saturday night and Sunday, and left them nothing to show for this great sum of money but headaches and poverty in their homes.
