A warning 10 Bankers.

From the New York COMMERCIAL
When you discharge clerk don't per-
nit him to retain desk-room in your
ofiice-unless you desire to be held re-
sponsible for his acts. This is the plain
English of decision given in the Supe-
rior Court on Monday. Plaintiff sued
to recover from a German banker the
sum of $3.50 in Prussian bank-notes, de-
posted with but not accounted for by a
discharged clerk, who had been permit
ted to write his letters in the bankers
room after dismissal. The clerk, it ap-
pears, could not resist the temptation of
getting even with his former em-
ployer, and so quietly pocketed the
money, after giving receipt for it in due
form. Now, the banker has to refund
the sum, on the ground that he was liable
for the acts of the clerk The decision
is important to all persons who deal with
our bankng-houses.

and returning home with him he died
the next day. The third time he him
self was taken violently i'll and had to
return. The old man at this became
superstitious. He believed that some
fatal impediment prevented the discov-
cry, and guarded the treasure. But he
transmitted the secret TO his son, and for
years young Newell had been persistent
in his desire to go in search Of the wealth
that lies hid in the Gulf
His first attempt, as those of his father,
resulted in failure. The cause of it is
not now recollected but it was sufficient
to deter his attempting it again alone.
At any rate he communicated his secret
to friend now connected with this
Office, first putting him under the obliga-
tions of an oath not to reveal it, and to
never attempt the discovery unless by
his direction or consent. So probable
did this tradition appear to his friend,
that, accompanied by Mr.. Newell, he
went in search Of the pirates wealth.
But storm came on. Thier boat was
dismasted and the rigging torn and lost.
After beating about in the lake and gulf
for ten days, they returned disheartened.
They did not reach, however, the island
they we're in search of and had no reason
to believe they would be disappointed in
case they should reach it. On the con-
trary, they believed that could they reach
the island the treasure would be found.
Since then Mr.. Newell has been per
sistent in his determination to go again.
He tried to persuade his friend to ac-
company him, but the sad experience of
his first expedition had disabused it of
its novelty, and induced him to abstain
from prosecuting his search again.
Mr.. Newell asked him then if he had
any objection to his (Newell) trying it.
To this he replied in the negative, and
they separated. Since then none Of the
friends of Mr.. Newell have seen him
alive.
He went away in his own boat, re-
Gently purchased and doubtlessly fitted
up for the purpose. How he met his
fate no one can tell; but his sudden and
untimely death gives room for specYla-
ton on the remarkable fatality that has
attended any search for the treasure of
Lafitte.
Sunday and Monday night violent
storm swept over the lake. 1t may have
caused his death; but on this hypothesis
the Wounds in his breast cannot be ac-
counted for. The supposition that they
were produced by his floating body
striking against rocks appears untenable.
The bullets of an assassin more likely
occasioned his death.
The curious and superstitious may say
that some mythical Cerberus, guarding
the pirates treasure, killed the intruder.
The mystery is like romance; and the
tale of his adventures and those of his
father are more singular than many that
give themes to the novelist or the ghostly
of the past.

gen. Clinton h. Fisk's $4,000 Libel
Suit Against the SC. Louis Times.

From the st. Louis Democrat, May Isl
During the visit of General Clinton B.
Fisk to Europe, the st. Louis Times
published an article charging the Cen
eral with embezzlement, absquatulating,
etc. On his return Gen. Fisk sued the
Times Company for libel, claiming fifty
thousand dollars damages. Yesterday
the Times Company filed an answer to
the amended petition, in which they
reiterate most Of their charges. They
assert that, during his connection with
the South Pacific railroad, General Fisk
collected $4,000 and paid oyer only
s., zoo; that he transferred $4,000 Of
the company's money to his private ac-
count that he employed one Williams
20 collect rents from trespassers on lands
of the company, and Williams embez-
zled several thousand dollars that
plaintiff informed the officers Of the
company that he had paid one Gibbons
81, 900 for widening cuts on the line Of
road, when, in truth, he only paid him
about $500. Several other allegations
follow, and It is added that prior TO
said publication the plaintiff was
worthless, untruthful, unprincipled and
knavish man, Of no good name, fame
or credit among those who knew him,
and that he bore the reputation among
those who knew him Of being a dishon-
est, untruthful, hypocritical and knavish
fellow.

A Quaker Wedding.

Chicago Times Philadelphla Letter.l
1t took place on Thursday morning at
the regular weekly meeting. My friend,
who invited me to accompany him, and
myself entered the Westinghouse at ten
O. clock, and found it nearly filed
Shortly after, five young ladies, dressed
in white with sweeping trains, jaunty,
gipsy hats, each with an escort in full
evening dress, entered, and took the re-
served seats. Then came the parents of
the contracting parties. Lastly the bride
and the groom; the bride, sweet look
ing girl, wore white silk dress, bonnet
and vail.
After their entrance the congregation
settled into quiet" which lasted
about twenty minutes. Then the pair
arose, joined hands, and the young man
said: "In the presence of the Lord and
this assembly, | take the - to be my
wife, promising with divine assistance to
be loving and faithful husband until it
shall please the Lord by death to sep
arate us" The young woman in like
manner promised to be " loving and
faithful wife, etc.
Shortly after an elderly lady ZAP
peared in supplication. Her prayer
was very beautiful, and to me it seemed
more appropriate than the suunon which
followed it from young man, on the
uncertainty of life and approaching
judgment. The sermon ended, table
with the marriage certificate upon it was
placed before the newly married, which
they both signed-the lady then taking
her husbands name. This certificate
was then read by the clerk of the meet
ing, and those present requested to sign
it. The bridal party then passed out
and the meeting adjourned.
| forgot to say that these same young
people had appeared at meeting held
a month before, and declared their inten-
ton of marriage. The matter had been
placed in the hands of two committees
" to ascertain if both parties we're clear
of other engagements. " They reported
favorably, and the marriage could go on.
This is called passing meeting" We
are not so particular in the West as to
" other engagements. If we were,
think you divorces would be fewer in
number2

Curious story of a Will.

An instance of the renewal in sleep Of
an impression of memory calling up an
apparition to enforce it (it is the impress
sion which causes the apparition, not the
apparition which conveys the impress
sion) occurred near Bath about half
century ago, and it is related by Miss
Cobbe in an article on Unconscious
Cerebration," in the last number of Mac
millan's Magazine. Sir John Miller, a
very wealthy gentleman, died, leaving
no children. His widow had always un-
derstood that she was to have the use of
his house for her life, with a very large
jointure; but no will making such provia
sion could be found after his death. The
heir-at-law, a distant connection, natu-
rally claimed his rights, but kindly al
lowed Lady Miller to remain for six
months in the house to complete her
search for the missing papers. The six
months drew at last to a close, and the
poor widow had spent fruitless days and
weeks in examining every possible place
of deposit for the lost document, till at
last she came to the conclusion that her
husband could have made no such prom
Use, as she supposed, or have neglected
to fulfill il had he made one.
The very last day Of her tenure Of the
house had Just dawned, when in the gray
Of the morning Lady Miller drove up to
the door of her man Of business in Bath,
and rushed excitedly to his bedroom
door, calling out Come to mel Ihave
seen Sir Johnl There is a will" The
lawyer hastened to accompany her to
her house. All she could tell him was
that her deceased husband had appeared
to her in the night. standing by her bed
side, and had said to her solemnly,

mained as uncertain as before. Once
more the house was searched in vain

found themselves in garret at the top
of the house. 1T is all over" Lady
Miller said, | give it up; my husband

that moment she looked at the table
over which she was leaning and weeping,
"This table was in his study oncel Let
us examine III They looked, and the
missing will, duly signed and sealed,
was within it, and the widow was rich to
the end Of her days. 1t needs no con-
juror to explain how her anxiety called
up the myth Of Sir John Miller's appari-
ton, and made him say precisely what
he had once before really said to her,
but Of which the memory had waxed
faint.

Bury me in the valley
Beside some ripping stream,
Where blooms the modest lily
Amidst the emerald green;
And where the feathered songster
Will build its dOwny nest
Amid the fragrant rose-tree
That blooms above my breast.
Bury me in the valley
Where early comes the spring,
And where the towering holly
viii lasting beauty fling;
And let the distant sunset
Its gold and crimson shed
Upon the murmuring water
That glides beside my bed.
Bury mo in the valley .
Where tender breezes blow,
And let them murmur gently
My requiem soft and low;
And let the glistening dewdfop
BE pearls upon my breast.
With quantity carved though humble slab
To mark my place of rest.

HOW NOT TO DO IT.

The trial which has so deeply interested the
Methodist Church in the United States came
to an inglori0us end last week after seven
days course The only result of the inquiry
has been to SOW dssension in the Church. to
arouse uncharitable feelings in the ministry,
and to fill the outside public with suspicion
not only of the commercial prosperity of the
great Methodist publishing house, but Of the
disposition, or at least the ability, of the Com
mittee to investigate thoroughly its condition
or correct any abuses which may have crept
into it. This bitter fruit of the long cOntrO-
versy may have sprung in part from profess
sional ignorance of the ordinary forms of dis
pensing Justice, because ministers are not often
familiar with the processes of courts; but
surely common sense might have saved the
Committee from the egregiOus blunders which
have marked their whole course in this i'm
portant matter. 1t is about fifteen months
since DR.. Lanahan published his charges
against the management of the Book Con-
Germ, alleging that there had been heavy
losses through fraud or gross miscon
duct in the administration. The Book Com
mittee met TO investigate these charges
and found that they were in the main true;
Int meanwhile violent hostility had been
excited against DR.. Lanahan, and in January,
1s7O tbe Committee was called together again
70 revise its former decision. The result of
these supplementary proceedings was MAJOR
ity report whitewashing the Book Concern
and declaring that there had been no losses at
all, and a minority report reterating the pre-
vious judgment.
TO unprecedented outsiders it seemed clear
that DR.. Lanaban's accusations, whether true
OF false Lad at least 30 much apparent foun-
