HEAVY DEFALCATION.
a Man AbscOnIIs and Leaves Debts TO
the Amount of SI,OOO,OOO.

n MAN ABSfDnuS ana Leaves DcDES 10
the Amount of SI,OOO,OOO.
From the Philadelphia Press, Aug. 90.
The commercial community was startled
on Saturday last by rumors Of the sudden
exit from our midst of Charles Cabot, of
the frm of Cabot & Ettinge, leaving
behind an unredeemed debt that will prob
ably amount to from 100000 to 81 ,000,-
000 The rumor was subsequently found
to be true, and the whole commercial world,
who placed the most implicit confidence in
the alleged defAulter, were struck aghast.
The matter was kept as quiet as possible,
in consideration of the feelings of Dir. II. S.
Ettinge, the partner of the alleged defaulter,
upon whose name not the slightest blemish
rests, and who is universally regarded as
the soul Of honor and integrity, but who,
from his too great dependence upon the
honor of his partner is compelled to suffer
TO almost If not equal a degree with the
creditors. The alleged defanlter occupied
one of the highest positions in the mercan-
tile community, and his drafts to any
amount would have been hOnored without
the slightest hesitation. He was President
of the Allentown Rolling Mills, aud the
agent of number of our most wealthy coun-
try gentlemen. That the estimate of the
Indebtedness is not overestimated may be
gathered from the fact that to one firm is
owing the sum of $l07 900, while it is fur
Their alleged that he owed every firm with
which he had dealings. 1t Is further stated
that his partner, Ettinge and this appears
TO be the universal opinion Of all who knew
the firm-knew nothing at all about it, aud
was entirely innocent Of all completely in
the affair, aud toward him the majority of
the creditors extend their sympathy, as an
equal sufferer, aud appear to be disposed to
allow him all the latitude he desires 10 meet
his demands He has not yet decided as to
the eEpediency Of carrying on the business

There is no sadder picture in The blood
written history Of Tennessee than that pre-
scented at this time. With all the natural
strength and wealth of a nation in itself,
and an slmOsltrOpical beauty and richness
| of scenery, there is no spot on earth more
cursed, no land so blighted, no despond-
epcy more completely at the mercy Of 4
systematic despotism-the wickedeat despo-
tism the world ever saw. When any Soun-
try is brought to that stage where its own
people-those who have proudly watched
It's growth in prosperous days; who have
built up all that lie great and good within
it, and who ask for no better heritage than
quiet grave beneath its peaceful skies
are forced 10 flee 10 other lands for the pro-
lection they cannot receive at home, there
is little hope Tor liberty there

servation yesterday. Three wotaen, ac.
companied by several children, arrived
here from Greeneyille, Tennessee, the home
Of Andrew johnson, having come the
whole distance on foot. Their money
being nearly exhausted, they were
compelled 90 stop in this city,
where they will probably remain. They
had been a little more than three weeks on
the road, aud were weary and foOtsore with
the long tramp. Their story was told in a
simple way. They said they had Left Ten

the men were in proper condition to fight,
both being under their proper weight, Col

HUMAN SKELETONS IN PoMpEII.

Some Of the details of these discoveries.
contained inIthe journal of the excavations,
are extremely curious and interesting.
Thus, We read that on The both of August,
1887, human skeleton was found in the
corridor uf ahouse which the volcanic mat
ter had not penetrated, but had so complete
ly closed up by Obstructing the d.ors that
escape was impossible. Here the wretch
ed man lived in utter darkness we know not
hcw. long. 1t Is a significant circumstance,
that his bones, instead of lying in one place,
were scattered about the apartment, and
showed marks Of having been gnawed.
Near them lay the undisturbei skeleton of
dog. Il is evident therefore, that the
brute had not only survived his master, but
had also ealen him. In a shop connected
with the public baths, not far from the TO-
rum, we're also found two skeletons of per.
sons who had died in each others embrace.
They were both in the freshness of youth,
and of different sex. The affecting speeta,
Gle excited an unwonted effusion of sertl-
ment in the antiquarian bosom, and The bo-
ny twain were christianed The Lovers"
On the 14th of June, of the same year.
eight skeletons were found under the ruins
oil wall, and in May 1918, another skeIe-
ton was discovered near the Temple of Ju-
plter, crushed by marble column; thus
proving conclusvely that the eruption was
accompanied by an earthquake. In th=
Temple of Isis also were discovered the re-
mains of several priests, with chicken
bones, egg shells, wine goblets and other
indications Of a banquet, on table near
them. One of them had seized a sacrif-
cial axe with which to effect his escape. but
sank dawn exhausted, or probably suifncat-
ed by the mephitic vapOr before accomplish
ing this purpose. The statement made by
several writer's, and reiterated by NJ. Mou-
nier and DR.. Dyer, that the said priest ac-
tually cut his way through two walls, is
entirely erroneous; the walls DO not exhi-
bit any traces Of such operations. Tradi-
tiOn tells of another priest who lay in the
centre Of the adjac ent forum triunguiare.
This man, whom Bulwer calls Calenus, was
SAID to have been carrying of some of the
rich silver furniture of the temple when
death overlook him. AS the journal makes
no mention of the circumsta noes, the rea.
der will receive the account cum gra1o sails.

THE BUD WORM.

Oar friend Dr.. Buie has been investiga-
ting the natural history and habits of this
destructive little insect, with complete suc-
cess. In April last he found a stalk of
corn with the heart cut out by a bud worm.
and the insect itself was buried about two
inches in the ground beside..the stalk. The
DR.. took the worm and placed it in glass
jar, One-tOurth filed with moist earth.
Young stalks Of corn, cabbage leaves anI
turnip tops we're placed in this jar. The
worm ate Of each. After every eating the
worm changed its appearance. 1t changed
first TO the "cut wOrm," which has been
generally regarded as q different insect.
Its next form was that ol the " colIard
worm," its color, from black turning To
geen. and its head disappearing. After
eating the beg would return and remain in
the earth. After this last change he wen.
into the heart Of the stalk Of corn, until it
was entirely destroyed, when becoming
very unwieldy, it wollered, rather THAI
burrowed, in the ground.
II remained il this state for five DAYS,
and on the sixth il had entirely she'd its
covering aud was fully developed moth.
having four mings, the outer ones dark and
the under unes light. Its appearance tous,
as we saw it yesterday, is the same as the
ordinary "cande MOTH" and is, beyond
doubt, the same species OF insect.
DIR. Buie will continue his investigations,
aud when completed will give the benefit Of
his discoveries TO the public. Other in
sects which intest our rardens are aIsn re-
ceiying his attention.

THE CASE OF Mr.. DAVIS.

The farce Of calling up the case Of Jeifer-
son Davis in the United States Court in

formed as regularly as the spring and fall
sessions Of the court occur. II is becoming
b.. this time somewhat munotunous, and the
public begin to look upon i. as bore. to say
the least of it. The case is said to have
been entirely ready at the late session of
the csurt in Richmond, the yenire summon
ed, the Chief Justice present, when it is
postponed for five months. Mr.. Davis has
now been in the hands Of the government
three years, considerable part OF that time

with dependent lamily, and is becoming
old. Is il proper TO subject this man for
the rest OF ms natural life TO such practical
denial Of his right to a trial? II. as seems
probable, the trial will never occur, it
would be both just and magnaniinous to
give him his discharge. But whether tried
or not, no rational being now wants Mr..
DaEis's life and as to the nonsense ot max
