Scarcely had the words of praise which
celebrated the career of Ethelbert s. Mills been
uttered over his grave when the bright story
of his usefulness, his enterprise, his charities,
his probity and his enlightened love of art was
supplemented by the dark tale of his crime
The whole seems horrible mockery of every
thing that is good, and no man will envy him
the seeming success of his life in recalling the
disgrace which covers him in death. II is the
was too much trusted No one doubted the in
tegrity of Ethelbert s. Mills. He was one of the
few men who were honest in a dishonest age
but the treacherous wave swept him from life
into death, and at the same time
washed away all the green memo
grave. Death calls for settlement of the
affairs of every man even in this world, and,
unfortunately, death found Ethelbert s. Mills
a defaulter. AS President of the Brooklyn
Trust Company he had appropriated its funds
to his own use. Unfortunate speculations by
which he lost large sums and the payment Of
extortionate interest made him poor, and, like
the burglar, he turned to other mems savings
to repay his own losses. He was enabled to
do this because the trustees of his company
had too much faith in him to do their own
duty. These worthy gentlemen, among the
most prominent in Brooklyn, did not even
know that he had negotiated two hundred
thousand dollars worth of the repudiated
bonds issued by Governor Bullock, of Georgia,
at seventy-fve per cent of their face value.
Neither did they know that he had negotiated
a large amount of almost worthless railroad
bonds. Under these circumstances it was
scarcely to be expected that they should
know he had overdrawn his account and, per-
haps, ruined the company. After his death
the investigation into his affairs was con-
sidered mere matter of form, and its results
were surprise-as great surprise to the
trustees and the stockholders as to the deposi-
tors and the public. All this has its lesson
but reprehensible as was the crime of the de-
ceased defaulter, it was not more reprehen-
sible than the neglect of their duty by the
trustees of the company. When they penned
their resolutions of testimony to the virtues
of their former President they condemned
themselves, for they almost simultaneously
discovered that he had robbed the company it
was their duty to protect We care not to
moralize on this remarkable transaction, and
we can only deplore that public confidence in
our moneyed institutions should be shaken
because such outrageous abuses of public con-
fidence as this are revealed.

If THE health authorities continue the
same vigorous, uncompromsing war on death
breeding nuisances which they have Just
begun they will earn the thanks of the
community. The Augean stables could
scarcely surpass in offensiveness the delect-
able establishment Of the New York Render
ing Company up town, or the no less filthy
fungi around Washington Market The ofal
sheds Of the bone boilers between Thirty
ninth and Fortieth streets are to be purified
by fire, and the obnoxious market booths to
be pulled down. Now, these are commend
able resolutions Of our sanitary guardians
but it is all-important to know whether they
will be carried into effect Such plague spots
should not have been tolerated 50 long but

Health viii go far TO compensate for previo1s

"WHAr's IN A NAME?"-On the strength of
his capture of Captain Jack some of the In
diana Htpers are beginning to talk of General
JEFF G. DAVIS as an available military chieftain
Sr the democpts to nominate for the Presi-
dency The idea appears to be that many old
line democrats who may have still lingering
weakness on State rights for JEFF Davis will
be apt to fall into line on JEFF G. Davis, and
the idea is utterly absurd.

Wall Street.

Unusual activity has prevailed on our
American Bourse during the past week. A
Summer speculation has occurred, and, under
its influence, large transactions have been
made. What is known as "the Vanderbilt
line of Stocks" comprising New York Central,
Lake Shore and Western Union Telegraph,
seem to have led the upward movement, and
the work of the week closed with strong and
healthy indications for the immediate future
Northwest common stock, by reason of its
transfer from the hands Of mere spectators to
the real friends of the road, has assumed
new phase on the market, and entered upon
new career. There has been manifestation
of corresponding strength, together with spec
ulative sympathy, throughout the entire list.
Hence large orders have come from the water
ing places and holders of stock elsewhere to
buy or sell according to the fluctuations daily
reported. The brokers are happy; business is
lively, and good feeling exists all around.
Erie" It was attended with all the
premonitory symptoms Of corner" How
it will result is a question that belongs to the
future. The manipulation is understood to
be under the control of three or four German
bankers, who for the nonce have abandoned
their business of selling exchange in order to
turn ON ''honest' penny in speculation. With
out going into the merits of the question at
this time, we need only say it is sorry spec
tacle to see parties of whom America buys her
promises to pay abroad dabbling in o stock
that has been the ruin Of the best hnanciers of
the country, and making it doubtful, even
while these lines ore being written, whether
the foreign exchange they have sold to their
customers is worth ten cents on the dollar or
not If a man is a butcher, let him stay so
as long as he hangs out his sign. If he is the
president of bank or German banker, let
him likewise keep within the purview of his
legitimate business, and so retain the conf
dence of the public, When he steps outside
of this circle our people have become
too familiar with the ups and downs
of Wall street corner to take
stock in any firm not known to be legiti-
mate spectators, no matter what may be their
credit who stake their reputation and exist
ence on the tumultuous gambling of an hour.
It is o serious reflection on those German
bankers, who are daily quoted as authority for
the value of exchange, that they have entered
field wherein they will be brought face to
face with ruin, and perhaps drag into vortex
hundreds and thousands who have regarded
them as among the safest and most conserva-
tive elements of the financial world. ma
tional bank that would use its capital for such
purpose would lose its credit. Cashiers in
Vulnerable have tried their hand and failed,
and some are in the State Prison, and it
would not be astonishing if two or three of
these self-same bankers, in their effort to make
little revolution of their own on sixty thou
sand shares Of Erie, should eventually be
brought to grief, and heard OF only among the
obituary notices of the street.

CHOLERA AT VIENNA is again reported, and it
seems to be of o peculiarly fatal and malig-

must seriously interfere with the success Of
the Exposition.

the ripper powers of the great Italian composer,
and even seasoning with the customary grain
of salt the extravagant encomiums passed
upon it in Egypt and Italy, it must be a very
remarkable work and one in which every
musician will take warm interest From
heeting glance at Wagner's opera, caught
during its production in German here, enough
was ascertained to pronounce 1t the best of
that wayward composers works. There is
more solidity, regularity and beauty of form
in it than in any other specimen Of the
school of the future. As these two operas are
on the Meyerbeer pattern of scenic effects and
spectacular splendor we may expect an entire
change from the time-honored and dust
begrimed scenes of the Academy stage.
Such is the dish, fit to be set before king,
which the Strakosch Brothers have prepared
for the New York epicures in the Fall. It is
gratifying to learn that since the revival of
Italian opera two years ago the taste and
inclinations of the public in this direction
have encouraged operatic managers to compete
with the veterans of the European houses in
securing for New York the best talent. No
city could be less favorable to the importation
of imitation metal instead of the pure, refined
gold of art than ours. Managers have found
it to their cost how difficult, if not impossible,
it is for them to palm off on our public,
especially in music, aught that is not claimed
and endorsed by art. This has been demon
strated over and over again in Italian opera,
and had some of our impresarii been gifted
with q modicum of prudence and foresight
they would have avoided the narrow, tortuous
course so plentifully strewn with the wrecks
of operate barks. This new enterprise of
which we have spoken bears with 1t an omen
of success in the transcendant ability of the
prima donna, the reported strength of the
company and the interest attached to the
new works of Verdi and Wagner. Thee is
little to be apprehended by an operatic man
ager NOWADAYS lest he venture too far in
