Banking with a Looseness.
The investigation of the affairs Of the
First National Bank at Washington has not
proceeded far enough TO revealit condition.
1t is, however, generally believed to have
been very bad fsilure. A Cabinet officer
:emarked to. day that he did not see how
this failure could have occurred without
gross violation ofthe banking law, and very
severe comment is made on the fact that
this bank was the agent of all other banks
for exchanging mhtilated currency, and
policy of caution and honest dealing was es-
pecially incumbent upon them. Persons
who deposit with this bank regard their de-
posits as hopelessly gone, and are very bitter
on its management.

in a town. Their absolute devotion
to their chief is proved by the fact
that not one was tempted by the re-
ward of $4,000 reals (f5O0) offered
for the capture of Santa Cruz, dead
or alive, and $4,000 reals is for
tune to a Basque peasant. The
most complete order and discipline
are enforced IN his little army. In
the evening, when the days work
is over, the enemy distant, the hour
for repose at hand, and the rations
eaten, those rough men assemble
round their chief, once more their
priest, to hear prayers read, in which
they all join. Their prayer is for
''King Charles VII; for Spain, now
delivered over to the demon of an
archy; for those who have died in
battle, and for those who may yet
fall in the cause of the King" And
then, wrapped up in their nsantas,
which serves as cloak or blanket,
they lay themselves down to sleep,
each with his loaded musket by his
side, ready to start up at the slight
est notice; while men are stationed
as sentries at regular intervals, to
give warning ofapproaching danger.

JOHN JAxK1N,s SERMON.

The minister said last night. says he,
"Don't bo afraid of givfn';
II your life Amt nothfn' to other folks,
Why, what's the use o. livin'y',.
And that's what say to wife, says L..
There's Brown, the miserable sinner,
He'd sooner bcggar would starvc than give
cent towards buyin' q dinner.
tell you our minister's prime, he is,
But l couldn't quite determine,
When heard him a-givin' it right and left,
just who was hit by his SERMON.
OF course there couldn't be no mistake
When he talked of long -winded prayin',
For Peters and johnson they sot and scowlcd
At every word he was sayfn',
And the minister he went on to say,
There's various kinds o. cheatin',
And religions as good for every day
As It is to bring to meetin'.
l don't think much of man that gives
The Lord Amens at my preachin',
And spends his time the followin' week
In cheatin' and Overreachin'."
guess that dose was bitter enough
For man like Jones to swaller;
But noticed ho didn't open his mouth,
Not once, after that to holler.
Hurrah, says I, for the minister
or course said 1t quiet
Give US some more OF this open talk;
It's very refreshin' diet.
The minister hit 'em every time;
And when he spoke Of faehion,
And a-riggin' ont in bows and things,
As woraan's ru:iu' passion,
And a-cOmin' to church to see the styles,
couldn't help a-winkin'
And a-nudgin' my wife, and, says I, ''That's you ,
And guess It sot her thfnkin'.
Says to myself, That sermons pat;
But man Is a.queer creation;
And I'm much afraid that most o. the folks
Wont take the application.
Now IL he had said word about
My personal mode o. sinnin',
I'd have gone to work to right myself
And not set here a-grinnin'.
just then the minister says, says he,
"And now I've come to the fellers
Who've lost this shower by usin' their friends
As sort o. moral umbrellas.
Go home" says he, "and find your faults,
Instead of huntin' your brothers;
Go home" he says, land wear the coats
You've tried to fit for Others"
My wife she nudged, and Brown he:winke1,
And there was lots o. smilin',
And lots o. lOOkn' at our pew;
1t sot my blood a-biin'.
Says to myself, our minister
Is gettin' little bitter;
I'll tell him when meetins out, that
Amt at all that kind of a critter.

Obtaining . Pardon.

Oflate oufnews prints have borne
record of various shifts resorted to
by interested friends to obtain par
dons for convicted criminals, but
none of them can approach in cool
.audacity an attack to that end which
was made upon Gov. Shannon, OF
Ohio, thirty years ago. In 1912 or
'43-many in that State will remem-
Der lthe circumstance well-a man
named Green Mcdonald had been
convicted of crime and sentenced
to the Penitentiary. A few Of his
friends were eager to get him par
doned out. They knew that upon
the merits of the man and the case
a pardon could never be obtained,
so they resorted to other means.
At that time, by the death of Gen.
Harrison, John Tyler had been left
President of the United States, and
though not noted traveller, yet Mr..
Tyler, especially in the later days
of his administration, was not averse
to exhibiting himself to the people.
The friends of Green Mcdonald hit
upon John Tyler as the scape-goat.
a petition was drawn up inviting
President Tyler to visit Cincinnati,
and host Of distinguished and in
fluential citizens signed it. AS
soon as these names had been OBJ
tanned the original heading was re-
moved, and petition put in its
place imploring Gov. Shannon to
pardon Green Mcdonald. The thing
looked fair upon its face, and the
good-hearted Governor was COM
pletely deceived. He granted the
pardon forthwith, and not until the
convict was clear, and beyond the
reach of the law, was the trick dis
covcred.-Ne,c York Ledger.

THE CURE OF SANTA CRUZ.
Singular History Of the Fanatica
Cnrl:st Leader.

A dispatch received by the cable
on the 18th inst. announced that
the bloodthirsty Cure, Santa Cruz,
turning his back upon the bands of
Carlist insurrectionists of Spain,
had resumed his clerical robes and
gone to Rome to ask forgiveness
for his sins. 1t was quito time for
him to make this show of penitence.
The newspaper have recorded some
of the most abominable of the bloody
deeds he has committed since the
outbreak of the Carlist war, and
now the romance of his personal
history is described by n writer in
the July number of Blachacood's
Magazine.
Manuel Santa Cruz, cure of Her.
nialde, is certainly a remarkable
man. He is only thirty-three years
old, but he has been a devoted ad-
herent of the Carlist cause all his
life. Before the guerrilla war be-
gan he was leading a quiet life in
his Parish of Hcrniaide; he was of
slight, delicate frame, and looked
like an invalid. Since then he has
grown stout and strong; exercise,
constant living in the open air, and
ever-recurring danger, he seems to
thrive on. The abstemiousness he
had always practiced he has never
parted from. In person he is under
the middle stature; his features dark
and irregular, and rather common
place, but his small black eyes, deep
set, glow from out thick eyebrows,
and indicate the fiery energy that
burns within. When he took the
field as
CHIEF OF PARTIsANs,
he quite laid aside the clerical cos
tune; for the long black cassock,
the black cloak, and the enormous
hat of the Spanish priest would be
inconvenient in campaigning and
dangerous. He assumed the dress
worn by the peasants-the low vest
of strong brown cloth, the red sash
round the waist, the loose-ftting
breechcs of the mountaineer of Ma
varre, reaching to the knee, the legs
enveloped in black CATERS, and the
feet protected by the sandals or al
pargatas of the country. Before
close-shaven, like all Spanish priests
not missionaries, or of the monas-
tic orders, he let his beard and mus
tache grow. He carried in his belt
a pair of loaded revolvers, and IN
his hand the thick stick, which is as
necessary part of the equipment
Of a Basque peasant as the shillelah
to an Irishman. His head-dress
was tho bona or fiat white cap,
white in color, with blue tassal in
the center, which, according to the
fancy Of the wearer, may be Of wool
en-, silk, or silver fringe. His body
guard was composed of ten or
twelve stalwart youths from his ma
tive village, who accompanied him
in all his expeditions, armed and
equipped like himself, and prepared

An exasperated Bostonian is rnsh-

The slight cause for all his mental

one of his daughters had used one

to sharpen her lead pencil with,
while his wife had rendered his
