Who Pays ?
[From the Boston Daily Advertiser


If there should be disagreement between
the president of a savings bank or trust com
pany and it's auditor. resulting in the retirement
from the company OF the latter. and the presi-
dent should then publicly charge him with hav-
ing been removed for insubordination and in
competency and he should publicly allege in
his defence that the sole cause of the Presi-
dents dissatisfaction with him was his refusal
as auditor to certify the correctness of accounts
which he knew to have been falsifed by the
President, and the said President should then.
without any explicit denial of this, launch upon
the Press an overwhelming amount of ddUertis-
ing patronage. ingeniously contrived to lead the
public mind away from the true issue, who
ought to pay for this interchangeable company
or the President himself?
This question is respectfully submitted to the
pOlicy-holdors of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York, hundreds of whom are
doubtless readers of the AdUertiSer. 1t is Of
some material interest TO them. In reply to the
card of SHEPPARD Romans, lately printed in the
Advertiser, stating rather pungently why Mr.
| WINSTON, then President, eCishedtO get rid o.
HIM. very costly advertisement is going
| through the leading newspapers from one enc
of the country to the other, and the nearest il
| comes to answering Romans damnng accusa
ton against the Presdent--not against the
company-is this: 81 Mr.. Romans was removed
from his position in this company for sufficien
cause. by the unanimous action of it's board o
| trustees"
For anything that appears in this voumin
| GUS and irrelevant advertisement, the thirty
six trustees, whose names are appended to i
may have unanimously removed Mr.. Ho
mans-if they ever did anything of the sort
just because he refused to audit false accounts
The money is thrown away even as a defenc
of Winston and the company has not been at

money, especially when he has nothing bette

DESTRUCTION IN DIsoUIsE.-It is a
fact that mixtures of bad liquors and
acid astringents are often given for
medicines. They are potent to destroy
and may be safely warranted to ruin,
morally and physically, any human
being who sticks to them long enough.
More drunkards have been made by
these villainous concoctions, labelled
medicines, than by the liquors of com
merce. Alcoholic poisons, advertised
as remedies, are more mischievous than
tavern drains. For intermittent and re-
mittent fevers, as we'll as for all other
diseases which these fiery frauds are
falsely certified to relieve, DIR. WALK
ER's VINEGAR BTTTERs, the nc Plus ultra
of vegetable medicines, is a positive
cure. But this is not all /; the great
Temperance Elixir is a sovereign spe-
cifc for the depraved appetite for
stimulants, created by the false tonicS
and bogus restordtiUes, of Missionaries
of Intenperance. Within the present
year many well-known citizens have
certified that course of VINEGAR BIT
TIERS invariably obliberates the desire
for spirituous excitants.

A Romantic Story,

The following story is told by the
Galveston (Texas) Commercial of man
who was sent to the penitentiary of that
State week or two ago "He is a
German of noble birth. His uncles and
brothers distinguished themselves in the
late FraDco-German war they were
high in rank and live in princely pomp.
Yet this brother, perhaps of morals as
good as the best of his family, will for
two years live in the Texas Penitentiary.
This young man seems to have been the
favorite of his mother, but the hated of
his father. He was sent to the first
schools of Germany, and is proficient in
ancient and modern languages-but he
was allowed to spend money at random,
being taught nothing that is useful.
When of age, he was given few thou
sands and sent to this country. Here we
may premise that while the young man
is neither crazed nor fool, he does lack
that which is called gumption. He
married woman who after a season de-
serted him. From the time of his de-
sertion ne became a wanderer. Being
sick he returned to Germany and was
sent by his family to the most celebra-
ted springs in Germany, and when he
was fully restored they returned him to
this country with sufficient to have es-
tablished him in small business, but
he wasted all-and it is strange that he
did so, for he does not appear to be adj
dicted to any of the money-eating vices.
Reduced to beggary, he walked from
Mobile to New York, hunting employ
ment. Then he got back to Galveston.
Here he acted as scullion in fourth.
rate boarding house, waiting on the
table and cleaning knives. While en-
gagged in this work he stole two watches
worth 81, and on being charged with it
he confessed the offense and begged the
Recorder to send him to the Peniten
tiary, that he might learn trade anG
be able to support himself. He TOLD
the Recorder that if he was not sent tC
the Penitentiary, where he could learn
q trade, he would go out and commi
some crime that would send him there
He was the most anxious man to get il
Jail we ever saw. We hope that his re
sidence at Huntsville will be productive
of all the good he anticipates from it
and that when he leaves it he will be
self-supporting respectable citizen"

The First Steamships.

It was in 1888, says writer in the
Chicago Tribune, that the Atlantic
Ocean was crossed for the first time by
vessels propelled exclusively by steam
power; and pretty much all the credit
we as a nation can claim at this day is
the honor connected with the fact that
the project was first conceived, and
finally carried into successful operation,
by an American citizen. In 1884 we
find this gentleman (Junius Smith, In
London, engaged in the project of en-
deavoring to secure the navigation OF
the Atlantic Ocean with steamships. At
first he met with not only opposition,
but even abuse and derision. In spite
of all, however, he succeeded, in 1886,
in establishing company under the
title of the British and American Steam
Navigation Company. This being
done, contract was at once made for
building two steamships of large dimen-
sions, which, being completed, were in
tended to be the finest specimens of
marine architecture ever constructed.
During the delay in building these yes
sells, in order to give assurance to the
public mind, this company, in the
spring of 1888, sent out the small steam
er Sirius. This vessel made but one
trip, and was succeeded by their after
ward famous steamship, the Great
Western. AS soon as the company S
first steamship, the British Queen, was
completed, she commenced her trips tc
New York. Then came her consort, the
President, which, after crossing the
ocean few times, was lost, with all or
board-no one knows how or where
on her return trip to Liverpool. Among
her passengers was the famous come
dian, Powers, who delighted immense
audiences at the old Park Theatre, New
York, forty years ago. After the los
of the President, the. British Queer
made but few trips to New York. whel
she was purchased by the Belgian Gov
srnment,

A SwINDLING PRINTER. New Jer-
sey paper reports that travelling prin-
ter by the name of g. N. Bence, is now
engaged in victimizing the craft in q
rather novel style. He is accompanied
in his rambles by woman who claims
to be his wife, and states in piteous
tones that she was deserted by him in
Boston, and is now soliciting aid from
printers to enable her to reach her
friends in Pittsburg. After obtaining al
she can from the sympathetic typos,
she quietly retires and meets Mr.. Bence
around the corner, to whom she dis
gorges. She exhibits couple of work
ing cards belonging to said Bence-one
from the New Orleans Typographical
Union, and the other from the Vicks-
burg Union. The paper from which we
quote says that her appearance is cal
culated to exotic sympathy.

Another Step,

The Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany has with characteristic energy
taken another important step in the
prosecution of its great undertaking.
The camp-fres of the Stanley Expedi-
ton will hardly die out in Dakota, be-
fore those Of the construction corps will
be burning. The Company on the 18th
inst, advertises for contracts to grade
and bridge the line between the Mis-
souri, River and the Yellowstone, dis
lance of 205 miles, through the coun-
try which the expedition has just now
passed; or rather the located line is
some 80 miles north of the route pur-
sued by Stanley, avoiding the bad lands
through which he passed, and travers-
ing a rolling prairie region, well water
ed and covered with the rich buffalo
grass, which affords the finest pastur-
age. The success attained by the En-
gineers of the Company in finding so
good line through what has been re-
garded as one of the most difficult sec
tions of the whole route, must afford
satisfaction to all interested in this
great National thoroughfare. .r.

Preserving Eggs.

A Partisan paper recommends the fol-
lowing method for preserving eggs:
"Dissolve four ounces of bees-wax in
eight ounces of warm olive oil; in this
dip the tip of the finger and anoint the
egg all around. The oil will immedi-
ately be absorbed by the shell and the
pores filed up by the wax. If kept in
cool place, the eggs, after two years,
will be as good as if fresh laid" A cor
respondent of the Inverness Courier
says: "On the farm of Docharn, parish
of Detail, occupied by Mr.. Peter Mac
kintosh, there is common barn-door
fowl which changes its color twice a
year. In the summer the plumage is
jet black, and in the winter it is pure
white. In 1871, the hen (Which is a pro-
life layer of eggs underwent the same
change, of which not much notice was
taken; but on observing last year, at
the same time, the color change from
black to white, it was considered as
something wonderful"

An Unlucky Dream.

An Iowa raftsman had bad fall from
hotel window in Davenport the other
night, and afterward explained the ac-
cident to his physician. He said that
his name was John Felt, his residence
being Franklin, Lee county, where his
broteer and mother reside. For fifteen
years he has been a raft pilot on the
Mississippi. Tuesday evening he ar
rived with a raft, and took rooms in
the Mississippi House, where he had
frequently stopped before. He took a
drink or two before going to bed, and
lay upon the couch with his clothes on.
After midnight he had a terrible dream.
He said he thought he was guiding
raft on the rapids in the midst of an
awful storm, and at last the strings
were caught by whirlwind and scat
tered hither and thither in the air and
in the water. The crew were drowned :.
He himself was hanging to a single log
which was rolling and pitching on the
waves so that he could hardly maintain
his grasp. At last his hands and arms
became too tired to hold on longer, and
he let go. Down he sank, in water one
hundred feet deep, but offering no
more resistance to his descent than air
would, and he struck the bottom with
force which Jared him almost to
pieces. Then he aweke He could not
at first tell where he was, but his whole
frame seemed to be twisted and broken,
and he was in tortvre. He soon realized
his situation, and he knew that he had
fallen from the window. He cried for
help, but no one came to his relief, and
there he law until after daylight, when
q policeman arrived. Examination al
the hospital proved that the poor mar
was fatally injured. -Four of his rib'
were broken, and his spine was frac
tured

Many farmers pay but little attention,

seen that this should always be taken
into consideration. Thus, waters con

the STUNT, thus forming an insoluble
soap, which seems to produce unpleas

cucumbers-which we cut up into pieces
like small dice-we put twelve large
white onions, chopped, six large green
peppers, also chopped, one quarter
pound each black and white mustard
seed, and gillo celery seed. These
were all mixed together, teacup of
coarse salt added, and they were then
hung up in cotton bag to drain for
twenty-four hours. Then the salad,
with enough cold vinegar added to cover

Farm, Garden and Household.
The Household.

GREKN-coRN PUDDNG.-Allow one
long ear of sweet corn for each person.
Take half pint of milk, one egg, des-
sertspoonful of white sugar, one OF
sweet butter, and teaspoonful OF salt
to every two ears. Beat the egg and
sugar together, and add the milk and
salt. Cut the corn off the cobs with a
sharp knife, and chop the divided grains
with chopping-knife, but not too fine;
or, better still split each row of grains
down the middle before cutting them off
the cobs. The corn must not be boiled
first. Stir the chopped corn into the
milk, and bake in a brisk oven in GUS
tard-cups or tin pan until the top is
nicely Drowned, but not hardened.
Serve hot, without sauce. This is a de-
licious dish. Some persons prefer it
cold. Common corn may be used, if
young and tender, but requires as much
again sugar.
To Boil GREEN CoRN.-Trim off all
the husks, and put the ears into boiling
water, with tablespoonful of salt to a
dozen ears. If the fire is brisk, tender
corn will be done in fifteen or twenty
minutes, otherwise in half an hour.
Lay a napkin on a large dish, and after
draining off the water from the corn,
lay il on, turning the corners of the
napkin over it to keep it hot. Some
housekeepers prefer to steam the ears
of corn, or wrap them in linen towel
while boiling.
Another Way.-Cut the corn off O
dozen ears, and put it into quart Of
cold water or milk. It should be left
over moderate fire halls an hour. Just
before taking it off, add two table
spoonfuls of butter, and salt and pepper
to taste.
GREEN-ooRN PIE.-Prepare as above
and bake with short under-crust-nc
top-crust. If preferred, six seggs may
be used to eight long ears; but mos
persons would like it best with but four
as then the taste of the corn predomi
mates. -.r.r.<
