Bank sAfeS-where to Locate Thsm-LCsonS OF
RxperIFnee

The New York Journal Of Commerce re-
marks Of the recent robbery Of Baltimore
bank by digging into the vault from an unoc-
cupicd back room. When the Ocean Bank,
some time after II was cleaned out In Green
wich street, moved up to Broadway, the d.
rectors determined not TO be caught by the
vault trick again. So they bought an enOr-
nous safe and planted il squareIy In the mid
die Of the new office. There II stood, the
admiration OF dcpositors and the challenge Of
burglars. With gas.llghts burning all night
and q street Waterman on duty, the Ocean
Bank was then deemed to be secure against
burglars; though unfortunately the security
did not extend to the inner financial affairs
OF the Institution. Burglars are among the
most accomplished artisans Of our time, and
we do not confidently say that anything In
the safe cracking line IA Impossible TO them.
But safe thus exposed to view on all sides
and under constant espionage from the street,
il certainly more secure against assault than
the old-fashloned vaults which Rbut on parll-
ton walls. Those vaults offer the most cor
dial Invitations 10 burglars to come aud
ttfiic;" and they never fail To respond to the
call when O room can be hired directly In the
rear of the vault. What with their fnG
rhisels, crOwbars, sledgc-hammers, jack
screws, and other admirable apparatus, they
are perfectly sure OF the inside of the vault
sooner or later, II Is only a question OF
time; aud the man who struggles for prize
of 800, 600 and upward can RtfOrd 10 dig pa
ticntly. No mere thickness OF stone or iron
can keep burglars out OF bank vaults II they
can only lease the room next door. THIS
great truth being now lncOntestably estab.
lishcd we should think that banks having
their vaults thus auurlngly placed would
take u little palns 10 hnd out who occupies
and what Is going on in that particular part
of the adjoining premises which touches the
rear OF the treasure houses.

"Can any one tell why, when Eve was
manufactured from one Of Adams ribs a
hired girl wasn't made at the same time to
walt on herr 2"
Because Adam never came whining to Eve
with ragged stockings 10 be darned, u collar
string to be sewed on, or glove TO be mended
right away, quick now!" Because he never
read the newspaper until the sun goes down
behind the palm trees, and then stretching
himself yawned Outi "Ain't supper most
ready, my deari" Not he. lie made the
fire, aud hung over the tea kettle himself,
wen venture, and pulled the radlshes, peeled
the bananas and did everything else that he'd
ought to. lie MIXED the COW, fed tho
chickens, and looked after the pigs himself
lie never brought home half dozen friends
u diuner, when Eve hadn't any fresh pOme-
granates, and the mango season was over.
lie never stayed out until eleven o'clock TO q
ward meeting" hurrahing for an outand-
out candidate, and then Med because poor,
dear Eve was sitting up and crying inside the
gates. He never played billiards, nor drove
fast horses, nor chOked Eve with segAr smoke.
lie never lOafed around corner groceries
while solitary Eve was rocking little Gains
cradle ut home. In short, he dldn't think
she was specially created for the purpose OF
waiting on him, aud wasn't under the impress
sion that It dlsgraccd a man TO tighten his
wfc's cares little.
That's the reason that Eve did not need q
hired girl and we wish Ii was the reason that
none Of heI fair descendants did.

EARLY MORSISG. - Somebody who has
taken the trouble to rise early in the morning
imparts to the IndrpenOtid some very inter
day. lie says; From four o'clock I'LL seven
there Il a period IA distinct from day as Is
the time from six In the evening until ten.
Most persons understand the meaning of eve
ming; but morning meana no more than
pOlnt-a mere time to get up and dress for

marked part Of the day-the fullest Of unique
Joys songs and suggestions the morning.
Thomas Fuller Qs iti) says; DO not spill
thy morning (the quintessence OF the day) In
TeCrealiOns.' That Is II eXActly-the quint-
essence. About four Of an August morning
the great wave of blrd.sOng reaches you.
Where 1t starts don't know. Probably on
tue shores OF the Atlantic, with reed birds;
but II always comes, with the sun, from the
East. At first you hear Just one inquiring
note, away down the valley; after a little,
another sleepy twill then another and an-
other, keeneT, fuller, Wide awake, Joyful;
until the valley Is rocking and rolling with a
tide Of song. And all the while II Is drawing
nearer. A robin shouts In the elm over the
roof; the tide dashes and flows over you-On,
on 10 the Pacific. For half an hour every
bird In all your world II half crazGd with In
SEPARATION, pouring forth the exquisite rhymth
Of his being In a halleluiuh chorus. And
then the perfume and purity Of the air. II
has an Odor neither Of night nor of day; but
the dew seems TO hold In solution those pc
cullar hOneysuckle odOrs that are never
emitted Till night.

MeiE.

The following letter appears In the Courier
OF the Lower Rhine, dated the llth Of last
month "a deep, alarming silence prevails
In our town. Let us not hide the truth. The
streets are deserted, and what attracts more
notice still, there Is no business doing. Again
to-day a man was deprived OF all he had,
being left so 10 speak, with nothing but the
article Of dress that covered him, to pay the
taxes One does not require 10 be a prophet
TO foresee that this will happen 10 many
Others. II may be said, no doubt that such
things happen In all towns, aud II IL so, no
doubt, but not with anything like the same
frequency as at Metz. This cause Is the com
plete stagnation OF business, and our gov
ernment should consider what means should
be employed 10 diminish the calamity with
which the town Ia threatened. II will not do
TO shut our eyes, The Strassburger Zeiiung
Is wrong when It estimates at G, 900 the num-
her Of those who have left In 1869 Metz bad
40 900 Inhabitants, without counting the gar
rison. At the last census the number had
fallen TO $1,000. There was thus dmlnu-
ton OF 10, 900, and since then the population
has continued steadily to decrease. II Is
very well known that at present II does not
exceed ut most 10000 and, this being the
case, 1t Is easy TO understand the disastrous
change which has occurred In commerce aud
industry. Tue number OF persons who
avAiled themselves Of the option last SatuT-
day amounted, to 1850, the greater number
of wbor' were fathers Of families. YestOr-
day slxty-hye persons took the same course,
and that will continue for some days, We
know very well that these persons will
neither hear nor see anything, But that
does not mend matters for US, the Germans
OF Metz. II can do no good to keep silence
and not speak Of the mischief. Several
newspapers have noticed the arrest at Metz
Of NJ. Jehan, who was sent Into the annexed
provinces to gather together orphans In the
name Of tho committee Of Alsace and Lor-
raine. VI. Jehan writes TO the Temps re-
questlng that newspaper 10 publish correct
account Of what happened, No provision Of
the German code could be quoted against
him. NJ. Jehan was charged with carrying
away children (rdpts deIVdHts) by fraud or
violence. After the examination the accusa-
ton fell To the ground as untenable. NJ.
Jehan was accordingly set NJ liberty.

ARRTEETH Personal Figaro
says that an execution lately put into tho
house Of man In Paris, surprised him while
he was at his toilette, and that the official
saw nothing more valuable than set Of false
teeth, and be ut once set them down In Ills In
yeutory. The insOlyent debtor protested
that these teeth were sacred IS part Of his
person, and suiting the action TO the word he
put them at once In his mouth. But the
sherifls officer with many violent gestlcula-
lions, Insisted that the teeth having been
once In his possession, It was contempt OF
court TO take them from him, and his threats
forced the victim to surrender them. A

The Dead Body Of. Condemned Murderer Sub,

Barclay, the young man who was hanged at
Columbus, Ohio, on Friday last for most
brutal murder, consented that the students Of
medical college 10 that city could have his
body for experimental purposes, aud ten min
utes after It was cut down II was placed In
wagon and drlvenr rapidly to the college, where
apOwerful battery had been placed in position
for the purpose Of trying the effect of cleo
trlcity as a medium to restore life. Attwenty-
four minutes to one o'clock six students car
rcd tho body into the automlcal locturlng
room Of the college, where were assembled
the students and all the prominent medical
gentlemen Of the city. TWAS then taken from
the coffin and placed upon the operating-table.
The pupils OF the eyes were found to he dilated
aud the face discOlorCd. The body was strip
ped OF It's clothing, and at thirteen minutes to
one O'Clock, thirty-sevcn minutes after death,
the students began operations. Theeectricai
instrument used was one Of the most powerful
known, consisting Ui six cups Of Bunscn's
battery, attached to Ritchs Induction coil of
the largest size. II was operated by Profess
sOr Mendenhall an eminent electrician, while
Professor WOrmley and Professors Holder
man and Denig conducted the experiment.
Two currents OF electricity were used-One
placed at the lower extremity Of the body
and the other drawn along the arm, neck,
face and breast. The effect was wonderful;
the eyes opened tho face drew up as II Ia
pain, the mouth jerked 10 one side the arm

The limbs also raised and the toes and IN
gers worked, and once the body almost
turned TO one side. The arms were next laid
bare and a current Of electricity introduced.
The whole system seemed 10 respond and the
movements Of the body were ut times violent.
At l:58 o'clock the electricity was removed
and faint actions of the muscles could even
then be observed. The body was afterwards
left till $40, when the electricity was again
applied, and the muscles of the body stlll
responded as before, but with less force. The
breast was then opened and a current passed
Into the heart, but II gave no response II
was carried to the hands and feet and all re-
sponded as before. The heart was then taken
