Here is rather a nice tale OF careful banking.
which comes to us from Boston way. Some years
ago friend of its cashier brought TO a suburban
bank Government bond valued at $1,000. He WAS
in the habit of receiving the coupons regularly. but
last January no coupon came. Upon inquiry it was
found that his bond was missing. and he was told
that it had probably been dropped into waste
basket and sold for old papers He was further told
that he had no redress a4the bank was not respou-
sible for individual securities left in it's carea great
mistake, if we know anything of common law.
Still further research dc ops the fact that other
securities lodged in the same bank missing to tho
value of $4,000. These probably were also dropped
into the waste-paper basket

The letter which we publish to-day on the
third page Of this issue from our Paris cor
respondent shows the mental uncertainty of
the Orleanist members of the Committee of
Thirty when President Theirs advised them
to prepare for their own loss of power. They
now appear to be perfectly in harmony with
the President on constitutional project
The result may be seen by the kilograms
which we also publish to-day. NJ. Theirs has
lost the support of those who have been labor
ing for representative republic, and secured
the temporary adhesion OF a party of avowed
nnnarcliists. who only support him because

Mr. Sargent did his country good service in
the House, yesterday. by assailing the Butler
Salary bill and the covetous members who
hope to make an extra $1,000 before going
out of Congress. The blows were well laid
on, and the bill went to ruin last night by a
large majority. This is a clear case Of money
saved and morals corrected.

OF course, the House Committee of Ways
and Means is not in earnest in pressing the
Pacific Mail Investigation. The plea that
Irwin. the sharp fellow who got the subsidy
through Congress, is in California has nothing
to do with the reluctance of the Committee to
proceed with such witnesses as may be nearer
at hand. One investigation has sent the SEN

The Massachusetts, Legislature has repealed tho
law which permits towns to allow the sale of ala
and beer and these beverages will now be just
much prohibited as gin or whisky. The unpleasant
fact however is that there is little certainty and
permanence IN the Massachusetts, policy upon this
important matter The very next Legislature may
restore general license system. or it may reonact
the beer clause. or authorize some entirely new ex-
periments. In this way public opinion is kept un-
settled. and temperance becomes merely conye-
nient cry for political parties to say nothing of the
tendency which this shilly shally style of lswmak-
ing has to bring all laws into contempt.
