National Debts and u. s. Stocks.

The creation Of national debts is not mod
ern improvement but the ability of a great ma
ton to provide for great debt, and to make
it the most convenient and best form of perso-
nal property, is a modern wonder The debt
of Great Britain was begun by raising a million
sterling by loan in 1892, and when her great
contest with Louis XIV. was terminated, the
debt had reached fifty millions. Many states
men and economists were then alarmed at the
great burden which had been imposed upon the
industry of the country, but when the war of
the Austrian succession had swcllcd this amount
to eighty millions, Macaulay says that hist0ri
ans and orators pronounced the case to be des-
perate. But when war again broke out, and
the national debt was rapidly carried up to one
hundred and forty millions, men Of theory and
business both pronounced that the fatal day
had certainly arrived. David Hume said that,
although by taxing its energies to the utmost,
the country might possibly live through it, the
experiment must never be repeated ,-eYen Il
small increase might be fatal Granville said
the nation must sink under it unless some por-
ton of the load was borne by the American
Colonies, and the attempt TO impose this load
produced the war Of the revolution, and, in
stead of dimtnishing, added another hundred
millions to the burden. Again, says Macau
lay was England given over, but again she was
more prosperous than ever before. But when
at the close Of her Napolconic war in 1916, this
debt had been swclcd up to the enormous sum
Of over eight hundred millions sterling, or foul
thousand three hundred million dollars, OF
nearly one-haf the entire property OF the Uni
ted Kingdom, the stuutcst heart, the hrmest
believer i'll rational progress and national dc.
vclopmcnt, might we'll have been appalled,
But in the very face of this mountain Of obi
gatiOn,-tO say nothing of her vast colonia
possessions, the property of the British ma
} ton has been more than trcbled, and her deb

HEAVY DEFALCATION OF A BANK OFFICER.
On Monday afternoon, between two and
three O'Clock, Mr.. Charles f. Clark, the pay
ing-teller of the Commercial Bank, on Chest
nut street. Philadelphia, left the bank, sta
ting that he would return in few minutes.
Three clock arrived, and not returning, some
uneasiness was felt, and after waiting some
time longer, an investigation into the accounts
was entered into, when, to the astonishment
of the officers of the bank, it was discovered
that there was a large deficit in the accounts of
the teller. The amount of the defacation, so
far as could be ascertained by actual count, is
about $l58, 900, besides evidences of indebted
ness of perhaps $50 600 more, which, there is
reason to apprehend, will come to light through
the exchanges by the banks. The bank, it is
feared, will lose largely, but not to an extent
that is at all likely to affect its sOlvency. 1t
was never i'll a more prosperous condition than
now, and it had already been determined on,
after adding 100000 to its contingent fund,
to make, on Tuesday, its usual semi-annual
dividend Of five per cent and an extra divi-
dend. The probability is, in face of this dis
aster, that the proposed dividends will be
passed. The defaulting clerk has been in the
bank some fifteen years, and was supposed
worthy of all confidence, though some of his
outside transactions recently were hardly con
sistent with his salary as a bank clerk There
is also reason to believe that a part of the de-
ficlt has existed for some time, and that he has
from day to day thrown it forward by the use
of due bills. Ledger.

MURDER. On last Sunday morning the dead
body of negro woman named Mary Russell,
wife of Henry Russell, was discovered lying
near negro hut in the Mill Woods, near Do
yer. In the afternoon officer u. l.. Butler ar
rested three negroes, among them the husband
of the deceased, on suspicion Of having been
concerned in the murder, and they were COM
mitted by Esquire Pratt On Monday the
Coroner held an inquest on the body, and the
jury rendered verdict that she came to her
death from injuries inflicted by some person or
persons unknown. Subsequently we learn,
Henry Russell, her husband, acknowledged
that he committed the Decd and the other pri-
soners were discharged. From the appearance
of the body of the deceased it was evident that
she had been stamped and kicked to death, the
print of boot heel being visible on several
parts of her body; the principal injuries being
about the chest. Henry and his wife were
known as drunken, disorderly characters, and
had been at a carOusal at house near where
the body was found the night before -Dela
