4 prominent lawyer who had kept a
large deposit for some time in the Broad.
way Bank, New York, drew it out and
placed it in the Atlantic Bank When
the Broadway failed, last winter, he
felicitated himself upon the cha &C he
had made. Early in the spring he took
his money from the Atlantic and put it
in the Union Trust Company. Soon
after the Atlantic closed its doors and
he was delighted to think how lucky he
had been in not leaving his funds in its
custody. When the run begau on the
Union Bank he hurried to the bank,
and, by three hours of excitement, anxi-
ETY. and crowding, he carried of his
balance and lodged it with Howes n
Macy There he felt confident it would
be safe, and was confouuded on learn
ing that they had also suspended. He
is now of opinion that it was his destiny
to have his money in some failing bank,
ing-house, and that if he had changed
it hundred times, the ultimate result
would have been the same.

THE Detroit ADVERTISER g. TRIBUNE

-
says:
The tone assumed by Harper Week.
ly since Mr.. George William Curtis re.
turned to its editorial chair is both in.
vigorating and significant Every arti.
Gle in the last number bristled with q
demand for Reform, vigorous, forcible.
and admirably expressed That journal
rendered yeomans service to the Re
publican cause last year in both its edi
torial and its pictorial departments. All
it is doing no less valuable work now
in its appeals for the preservation intact
Of the old-time purity Of that powerful
organization. The leading editorial ia
its last issue was most cognent call up
on all honest and honorable Republicans
to see to it that their party is repre-
sented by its best men and held to its
highest aim From it we take this
paragraph, which deserves to be read
by every voter Of liberal sentiments and
pondered upon by every politician o!
selfish aims
"The danger of the Republican party
is not from without, but from within.
1t is not wise to forget that 4 conside-
rable vote was cast last year for Gen.
Grant under protest, and that the OBJ
ject OF that vote has been achieved. The
intelligent and conscientious opinion,
which has always been and is now the
Republican strength, is very independ-
ent, and wears lightly the party cock
ade 1t does not value the party. but
the purpose for which il has been sus-
tanned. The best men in the country
have supported the Republican party,
because they felt that, by so doing, they
served in the most practical way liberty
and public morality. And so long as
they feel this they will continue to sup
port it. But when they cease to feel it,
the party can count upon them no long
er. Vain will be the thunder of the
party tom.tom 1t has no terror for
those who do not seek place or pluuder.
The Union is not now imperilcd Eman-
cipation is secure Reputation is
dream, The reelection of the Presi.
dent has dissipated the hope Of reaction.
The Republican party is not now bound
together by the recent years, and it can
therefore maintain its present urques-
toned ascendency only by the charac-
ter of the Administration. II it should
be seen that the National patronage
controls local politics more and more,
despite the claim of a reformer of the
civil service; if recognized representa-
tives OF the National Administration III
the varons States and in Congress
should not command, because they
would not deserve, general respect and
conhdence;if continuous Republican vic
tories at the polls should not stay the
torrent Of corruption, and bring the
best character, ability, training and ex.
perlence into the management of public
affairs-then the earnest patriotism that
made the Republican party would make
another, which would gloriously contin-
ue the work that the Republican party
gloriously begun"
These are the words Of an able and
pure man Of ripe experience aud sound
judgement. They sum up with per-
spicuity the facts of the existipgpoliti.
cal situation, and they deserve to be
Needed for their fairness and wisdom.

the question was could he bring them

idea prevails among almost all farm

after setting; but Mr.. Baker got a
box big enough to put them both in.
over the eggs, and drove thirty miles

ALMOST A FIRE AT THE JUNCTION
HoUsE.-A fire was discovered in rear
of the carriage house of the White
River Junction House about two o.
clock, Monday morning. 1t appeared
to have originated near the ground in
the back part of a coal bin, over which
there was lean-to or shed. The
flames had followed up the boards of
the carriage house, which were very
dry, to the caves, when discovered by
one Of the help; and the discovery
was not made one moment too soon
to prevent complete conhagration of
all the buildings upon the premises,
for fresh breeze was blowing at the
time. AS there is no way of account
ing for an accidental fire where it first
started, everything seems to indicate
that it must have been the work of an
incendiary. Montpelier Journal.
