How He Took His Bath.

The Cape May Ware relates the fol-

CHANTDAyoINE, who had been hidden
away in Paris ever since the Commune,
went out with his family to pass Sun

The Bishop of Iceland has issued 3 pas
toral ordering 3 service in the three hun
dred churches of that island on the second
day of August, in commemoration of the
thousandth anniversary of the first settle
ment md of the grant of 8 new constitu-
ton by the King of Denmark, which goes
into effect at the date mentioned.
d The ringing Of the bells to commence at
6 o'clock the evening previous. The les
son selected for the day is Psalms &c, IA,
and 12-l7. One of the verses is: For a
thousand years n thy sight is but as yes
terday, when it is past, and as a watch in
the night" But the ecclesiastical dlgnitary
seem TO have INDUCED IN a bit of malicious
but patriotic revenge IN selecting the other
passage. The oppressive treatment of the
~Icelanders by the Danes, during the past
two or three centuries, is well known, and
seems to be referred to in this verse o(16:
"Make us glad according to days wherein
thou hast afflicted us, and the years where
in we have seen evil" Every native OF
the island, in which the feeling against
the Danes is intense, will certainly receive
their portion of the lesson with JUNCTION,
especially as the new constitution ,extorted
from the Danish Government, restores to
Iceland its old right Of self-goyernment.

-rrMPERaNCE CRusApE

Now we have no faith In the success Of
prohibitive measures, either legal or moral
faith, at least, that they will ever
put q permanent eztinguisher upon the
sale and consumption Of ardent spirits,
wine and malt liquors. ..fsaag ai-.r
With our present views, therefore, we
favor q license system, and trust the Con-
stitutlonal Convention viii put into the
new organic. law ~aTpreEisioR empowering
the Legislature TO legislate on the subject;
or, If wishing to avoid the responsibility,
submit the question of license to the peo-
pie of Ohio. A large body of the people,
who are not carried away by an emotional
crusade, and do not see IN it the end of 8
traffic that has existed since the food, are
are anxious that it shall be put under the
laws control, and made to contribute to
the support of the States institutions. In
this view, they VIII have the support of
the most influential of those engaged in
the manufacture and sale of spirituous
and malt lquors.=CSn. Commercial.
We apprehend that 1t will only be the
most influential" that will favor a heavy
license system-for the poorer class Of sa-
loon men VIII see that their Weather
neighboIs may thereby secure a monopoly
and cut the smaller fry of, another in
stance of the big fish eating up the littl,
ones. We do not anticipate then that tie
liquor interest will be unanimous on the
license question.
1t should not be forgotten that a license
system may not relieve liquor dealers from
any of the restrictions now thrown around
the traffic. r. -,

The Rotten FIRST National.

WAsHINGToN, DC, March201874
The. sub Committee = composed of
Messrs. Durham of Kentucky, FarWel of
Illinois, and Merriam Of New York-mads
their report this morning to the Commit
tee on Banking and Currency upon the
affairs of the First National Bank of this
city. The facts developed disclose a per-
fectly rotten condition of affairs. The
amount of past debts running for some
time uncollected is over $I56, 600. One of
the largest banks due the bank at the time
Of the failure was from its President, Hem
ry D. Cooke, the pious banker, late Radical
Governor of this District, and ex-oficio a
Member of the Board of Public Works.
This sum, including interest on the day
OF failure, was $40 778 AZ, and had beendu-
by Cooke since 1868. The amount stand
ing to profit and loss in the bank account
on the day of the failure and for sometime
previously, was about $3.50, 900. The debt
due IN the day of failure by Jay Cooke &
Co., was 1897 900, but on the first Of Au-
gust, 1873, their debt due the First Ma
tional Bank was only $23S,672 So that
this large increase was created in one
month and eighteen days. OF this increase
$4,000 was created on the 18th and 18th
days of September, only tive days before
the failure of these institutions. At the
time of the failure the Bank was in debt
to the Government $287, 900, which has
since been secured by the present Secretary
Of the Treasury, an outside and independ-
emit party having taken care of this debt.
There is a leakage of sac. 343, which is not
accounted for at all. This portion Of the
assets is clean gone, and cannot be traced.
No explanation is given in respect to it,
either in the form Of bad debts or other
wise. The bank had at the time of failure
about $272,60o- IN mHtilated currency
which had not been sent to Comptroller
for cancellation. This money came from
other banks, and its retention was a breach
of the confidence reposed in this institu-
ton. -=rr-

found il the road near Independence, Mis-
souri,, arrived here last night IN charge of
Mr.. Angel, of Chicago, and will be taken
10 that city, No further Information re-
garding the fight between the detectives
and The Younger brothers at Monagan
Springs, last Monday, has been received
here BY any one in authority. But the
Globe received Especial dispatch late last
night. which gives a different version Of
the affair. 1t says that the party which
was searching for the Younger brothers
was composed of Deputy Sheriff Daniels,
of Osceola, and two detectives. whose
names were not given. who. while riding
along the road were oYertaken by the
Youngers, and ordered TO lay down their
arms and surrender. One of the detectives
ran and escaped, while the others surren-
dered and gave up their arms. James
Younger then shot and killed Daniels, and
while firing on the detective the latter
drew a derringer which he had coneeald
and shot John Younger. The detective is
now at Roscoe lying in a critical condl-
ton with three bullets in his back and a
load of buckshot in one of his shoulders.
