Another Defalcati0n.

Mr.. Ethclbcrt S. Mills Of Brooklyn, N.
Y, was drowned last week. MIR. Mills was
presiden, Of the Brooklyn Trust Company,
an institution in which was deposited the
savings Of many poor artzan, ftrlorn
widow and helpless orphan. Scarcely bad
the words Of eulogy which the clergyman
uttered over the lifeless remains Of Mr.
Mills been concluded, ere it was discover
cd that he was dciautor to the Institu.
ton over which he presided, to the extent
Of nearly 100000. As President Of
the company, he had borrowed Of its funds
to make good the inroads which uuforu.
nate speculatious had madeinlo bis own re-
sources. This he was enabled to do, be.
cause 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 thou.
sand dollars worth Of the rcpudiatcd bonds
issued by Governor Bullock, Of Georgia, at
soventy.fye PER cent Of their face value.
Neither did they know that he had ncgotiat-
ed large amount Of almost worthless rail-
road bonds. Under these circumstances il
was scarcely to beexpoctod that they should
know he had overlrawu hi. account, and
perhaps ruined the company. After his
death the investigation into his affairs was
considered mere matter Of form, and It's
results were asurpriso--as great a surprise
to the trustees and the stockholders as to
the depositors and the public. All this has
its lesson; but reprehcnsblo as was the
crime Of tho deceased deiaul,er, it was not
more reprehensibe than the neglect of their
duty by the trustees Of the company
When they penned their resolutions Of tes-
/ timony to the virtues Of their former Pres
idcnt they condemned themselves, for they
almost simultaneously discovered that he
had robbed the company it was their duty
to protect It is a deplorablo matter that
the public confidence in moneyed nstitu-
tons should be shaken by such outrageous
abuses Of public confidence as are here re-
vealed.

The new statute defining the crime of
murder in New York, provides that where
the crime is not deliberately premeditated,
but is the consequence Of a suddenly form
ed intention to take life, the guilty person
shall not be hanged, butmay be imprisoned
for life. This virtually abolishes capital
punishment in that state, as the cases are
rare in which it can be conclusively proved
that the intention of murder was delibera-
tely formed. If only this will lead tender
hearted jurors to give conscientious yer.
diets, and if the judicial and executive de-
partments will cooperate in securing for
criminals the full punishment of the vio-
lated law, we have no fears but the new or
der Of things will work well. 1t is certain.
ly better than the threat of the galows, of
which no one fears the execution.

The destructive season of unripe fruit
is upon US, when the green apple Stays its
thousands Medical science and ordinary
observation put it beyond doubt that a boy
might better dine on fre-crackers than
green apples, and that if he eau manage to
60 in swimming soon after eating peck or
SO, as he generally makes out to do, he has
dead sure thing on cholera morbus. The
boys may dedantly inquire what we are
going to do about it. Wesuppose nothing.
The green apple has fatal fascination for
the boy mind. If Eve had been an urchin,
Satan would certainly have tried her with
the unripe article, and it would have been
about this time Of year. Parents may lay
their prohibitions on their offspring, in this
matter, with little more probable effect,
however, than to provoke fracture of the
Fifth Commandment. IL is we'll, about this
time of year, to spank boys found in the
neighborhood of orchards, on general pre-.
ventiye principles, also to feel in pockets
when they come home. If you find apples
it will indicate an intent to eat, and if you
find none it will be because they have been
eaten. In either case the duty Of the con.
scontious parent is clear.

The statistics of the Agricultural Col.
legcs are certainly anything but encourag.
ing to those who imagined that by them the
homely profession Of agriculture would be
popularized among young men. Take, for
instance, the one at Amherst, Mass. 1t
turns out as fine young men as any institu-
ton going, champion oarsmen, promising
civil engineers, lawyers, doctors, and good
citizcns-everythiug in fact but farmers.
Apparently the more the young men learn
how to be farmers, the more they don't
want to try it on. Among the successive
grists Of graduates which the Amherst
institution has turned out, the proportion
of intending agriculturalists has been
growing beautifully less, until out of the
class of thirteen graduated this year but
three expect to take up that profession.
Pretty soon farmers who are anxious to
bring up their boys in the love of the soil,
will grow shy of these institutions and begin
to send to Yale and Harvard for catalogues
institutions which experiment shows to be
little more fatal to bucolic aspirations thar
the Agricultural college itself What 0
striking illustration does all this afford Of
that pregnant sentiment Of Josh Billings

expect the most"

"A copy of the treaty which Sir Bar.

in respect to the slave traffic in that island,

However the foundations of Brigham

Mormon emigrants embarked at Castle Gar
den, who took the cars far Salt Lake City

small things is illustrated by suit brought

Caleb Gushing, in many respects the great

it utterly impossible for the great COM

We learn from the official report pub
lished by order Of the House Of Commons
that the importation Of iron and steel rails
from Great Britain into the United States
during the FIRST five mouths Of 1878, is less
than one-half the average Of the importa.
ton during the corresponding five months
Of the two preceding years. This speaks
well for the iron and steel manufacturing
interests of this country, aud we trust the
diminution may continue until all the rails
used throughout the length and breadth Of
our land are manufactured within our own
borders. During the first five months Of
1871, there were 1879 S65 Ions Of rails i'm.
ported; during the first FIVE months Of
1872, 22l 033 tons, while during the first
five months Of 1873, there were only 1922.
ASP tons imported We wish the official
returns might present an equally favorable
result in regard to the importation Of
other manufactured articles, such as silk,
worsted, wooden, and cotton goods, crockery,
glass and hardware, etc. If they did,
there might be some reasonable hope of
avoiding the return of the great pecuniary
and commercial CONFUSION which for the
last half century has marked the close of
every period Of twenty years.

Jerry Black suggests a novel remedy
for corrupt legislation. Ina speech before
the Pennsylvania Convention he urged a
provision in the constitution, that at the
close of each session of the Legislature every
member shall swear that he has cast no
vote in which he was personally interested,
and supported no corrupt proposition He
illustrated his point by saying, that when a
guardian, executor, or trustee is appointed,
he was first sworn to do his duty faithfully,
and when his work was done, that he had
done it faithfully. To make such a provision
effective, the payment Of salaries should be
deferred until an oath Of that character is
taken. Legislators are often suspected of
voting where personal interests or corrupt
motives affect their vote, who would hesi-
tate to do so if exposure or perjury were
involved. If the same principles were APP
piled to other Offices, good results might
also follow.

Retirement Of Bismarck.

One of the most important political
events which has transpired on the CONT
nent Of Europe since the overthrow of the
Commune, is the retirement from active
political life Of Prince Bismarck. The dis.
tinguished statesman retains the exalted
rank Of Chancellor Of the German En-

eminent honor than a position Of command

Debt and Dishonesty.

One who is anxious to discover the
causes and remedies for the prevail.
ing lack Of honesty traces the latter
to the credit system as well as the
financial calamities now upon US. A
thousand honest men are put at the
mercy of a single dishonest man to
pay his debts. If the one pockets
his money and refuses to pay, he de-
priyes thousand who are anxious to
do so. The best way to get capital
is to work for it. Work for wages
till you have money of your own. To
use another's capital, if you lose it
you must replace it. When a man
finds he owes more than he can pay,
he begins to inquire how he can get
rid Of his debt. If all he has will
not pay all he owes, then less than
all, he thinks, will pay a part, and
he hides portion or all from credit
ors. Learn to make money year
before you spend it, then you vii.
buy less and buy cheaper. Other
things being equal, dishonesty. pre-
walls in proportion to the facilities for
escaping obligations. The wise man
has said that the borrower is SER
want to the lender" and he ought to
be till he returns what he has bor-
rowed. When one has had the bene-
ft'o apother's labor, property, per-
son, skill and all are bound for the
equivalent. The ancient Roman and
jewish codes held that a mans life
and labor should be bound for his
debts. This may appear, and some
times is, severe; but strict justice
says, What doth the Lord thy God
require of thee but to do JUSTIFY"
"Owe no man anything" if you can
help it; but if you do, place what
you have at the disposal OF your cred
itor till all is paid.-N. Y Erpress.
