On Thursday of last week Charles A.
Bullard was taken before the Superior
Court in Boston on the charge of robbing
the Boylstown Bank, in 1869, of nearly
$500,0 900. This recalls TO remembrance,
the singular circumstance whereby Con-
ductor Mckinney of the Hartford and
New Haven railroad became 81, 200 richer.
On the night after the bank burglary, as
Mckinney was going through the cars,
collecting fares, a man, in paying his fare,
gave him bill to change. The conductor
looked carelessly at the bill, and thinking
it was 800 bill, said he would bring
back the change On a more careful look
at the bill, he found it was ono of 81, ,0O0.-
This was too large an amount for him to
change. He went back, and accosting the
man said, "Are you the man that gave me
this bill to changer" The man, apparent
ly frightened, said "No;" and another
man back Of him said to the conductor,
"He gave you ticket" Conductor Nc
Kinney reported the case to the company,
and they deposited the bill for some time
with the Trust Company, allowing McKen-
ney to draw the interest, and finally giving
him the bill. IT was supposed at the time
that the man was one of those connected
with the burglary, and that he was so
frightened that he preferred losing the bill
TO being arrested. It is not yet definitely
ascertained, and probably never will be,
whether this supposition is right or not
Bullard is notorious robbcr, who was con-
cerned in the great American express rob
berry ON the Hudson river some years ago,
and was captured and confined in White
Plains jail, from which be escaped. His
next undertaking was the Boylston bank
Job, which proved successful.

Arissocracy.
According to Webster an arlstocrat is
one belonging to or connected with royal
family But it does not contine itself to
royalty, or eveA to nobility. 1t is gener-
ally said aud expected that pride of birth
and station should be confined to the old
world One might excuse Mary Stuart or
"A Douglass or a Bonaparte in feeling proud
OF their royal blood. But in democratic
America should not have so much distinC-
ton, when the beggar boy may be Our iu-
ture president. We have as many classes
here as in the old world, though not as dis
| tinc'. Each place has its elite, or those
who consider themselves so. Even within
| the sacred sanctuary do we see the same
pride of wealth Don't the people on the
broad aisle and those who pay the highest
rents consider themselves a trtlc above
their poorer neighbors? Aud even the
honest old sexton suon learns that he must
show the wclldressed strangers Il front
seat, but back seat Will do for poor
person. When see people eNlhbit this
feeling | always think Of what an cid
French beggar woman said to mt On ny
asking her if she was not Tired Of begging
and having no friends She replied, "rhe
good God is my friend When he takes
me my soul will be as white as the richest
lady in the land OF all kinds Of pride,
pride of wealth is the most contemptiblc-
that is for persons to think they are enti-
tied to better position and should bo held
in higher esteem simply because they are
possessed of more Of this worlds goods than
their neighbors. One can excuse Il man
who, without any aid save his own energy
and perseverance, has amassed large for
tune, in taking pride in his wealth. But
for one who through some friend has been
removed from poverty To affluence-ior
such person to shrug his shoulders and
not know some old friend of former DAYS,
is The kind of human nature that | cannot
endure. This | call "shoddy aristocracy.
Mrs. Shoddy looks back with loathing to
her former condition, when perchancc she
sewed or washed for her daily bread but
now what Importance and pride of wealth
does she exhibit toward her interiors, OF
those she deems her interiors 1t matters
not if she has no education, no refinement
society smiles on her, for she possesses that
one thing, money. How does the world in
general treat its fellow creatures ID,
they select those who have the most brains
and those who have the best education
Oh no Society will allow none but tho
wealthy, or those who possess wealthy
friends, a position to step within its realms
In my opinion society is a sham.
