RESIGNATION OF THE TREASURER OF KENTUCKY.
-RUMoRBD DEFALcATION.-Col. James Davidson
has resigned the office OF Treasurer of State. In
disposition is assigned the reason for this
course, and we regret to say the gentleman Is ex-
tremely ILL., Rumor assigns other causes for the
resignation. The letter to the Governor asks the
appointment OF commissioners to settle the late
Treasurer's accounts, and his friends will be era.
titled if they shall be found near correct as the
Investigation, so far, by the Auditor of the State
IT. understood, shows a defalcation of forty or
fifty thousand dollars. 1t is proper to say that a
supposed error in the Treasurer's favor is found
which will reduce the deficit about 5000. The
Treasurers official bond has not been renewed
SINCE $780, the reason for which will doubtless be
explained by the Executive. We understand the
law directs no special place ofdeposit for the bond
and as the Treasurer regularly presented the names
OF his suretles to the Governor it supposed the
bond was executed with them on 1t. As soon az
the Governor learned the facts stated, he issued
an order that until every thing was put to rights,
the Audliors.were no longer to recognise Colonel
Davidson as Treasurer We learn that Colonel
Peter Dudley has been appointed to I'll the va
cancy.-Framkfort, Ky. Yeonam, dug. llh.

PUBLIC CHARITIEs.-The general principles
by which men are actuated who bequeath for
tunes to public charities are fear and ranity,
more than benevolence, or the love of doing
good, which will appear from the following
considerations list. If a man were possessed
of real benevolence, and had (as he must then
have) delight in doing good, he would no more
.iafer the enjoyment of his satisfaction to his
death -n..,1 than the ambitious, the luxurious,
Or tho vain. wov,,l wait till that period for the
qualification of their se,"ral passions. lily
If the legacy be, as it often is, tie hrst chafit-
able donation of any consequence, 1t Is scarce
y possible to arise from benevolence For ne
who hath no compassion for the distresses ol
his neighbors whom he hath seen, how should
he have any pity for the wants of posterity.-
3dly. If the legacy be, as is likewise very COM
mon, to the injury of his family, or to the dis
appointment of his own friends in want, this is
certain proof that his motive is MT benevo-
lence For he who loves not his own friends
and relations, most certainly loves no other per
son. Lastly. If man hath lived any time in
the world, he must observe such horrid and no.
torious abuses of all public charity, that he mnst
be convinced with very few exceptions that
he will do no manner of good by contributing
to them.-Ficlding.

YPsILANTI: WEDNESDAY, FEB. 9, 1913.

was in the proud smile which curIed her eleva-
ted lip an expression of demoniac triumph, which
chilled the Rabbits blood. Hiding his face in
his robe, he exclaimed
"False tempter, begone. have done thy
biding-and 10! innocent blood is upon my
hands. am broken and trodden under foot
like defiled thing. The cup of my pride has
been filled with gall. Depart, therefore, pray
thee, lest in the bitterness of wrath curse thee
Also"
"Rabbi Abimelech, it is said, THE vain-gIo-
rious man shall fall IN the snares of his own
heart The time hath come, and thou could st
not stand fast
"Raca! art thou therer shouted Abimelech,
as he recognized in the speaker the voice of the
nedicant TO whom he had given aims at the
Water Gate the previous evening. Burning
with rage, he seized the prophet of evil by the
throat; but the strength of the old man far ex
ceeded his own, and he flung him to the earth
with violence that shook his frame. Starting
up he beheld, not The old beggar of the Water
Gate. nor the tempter Zorah. He was alone,
not in the dungeon Of prison, but in the lit tie
chamber with yellow harvest moon streaming
through the lattice. Several minutes elapsed
before he could convince himself that the horrors
he had undergone were but the airy painting
of dream. and then, prostrating himself on the
ground, he exclaimed in the fulIness of his
heart, sit is lesson from the Lord was proud
OF my own strength, and when the trial came
was delivered to the Evil One"
From that day forth the Rabbi Abmeech
walked in the path of humility. He had ex-
perienced the dangers of sef-confdence, and he
learned to pity rather than condemn those who
like himself, had fallen in the struggle with
The Tempter.

APPAREL.-A man ought, in his clothes, to
conform something to those that he converses
with, to the custom of the nation, and the fash
ion that is decent and general, to the occasion,
and his own condition For that is best that
best suits with ones calling, and the rank we
live in. And seeing that all men are not cd
ipuses, to read the riddle Of another mans in
side, and most men Judge by appearances, it be-
hoyes man to barter for good esteem, even
from his clothes and outside. We guess the
goodness of the pasture by the mantle we see

have swept the State, by increased majorities,
and have secured the two senators.
Thk house now stands III wings, 66 Locos,
and eight to hear from. The senate stands Is
Wings, 6 Locos.
The Wing state ticket has been entirely sue
cessful. and the course the state laid down for
the November election.
This is a gratifying result. The Locofocos
