A NEW THEoRY OF THE $47, 800
TREAsURr.-In 1871 a package of $780,
900 was stolen from the City National
Bank of New Orleans and was never
accounted for until few months after
wards a noted thief was arrested for
some offense, convicted and sentenced
to the penitentiary at Nashville. After
conviction he made general confess
ion, duplicating himself in the cele.
brated SCOOTER diamond robbery at New
Orleans, and confessed to taking the
$4,000 package above mentioned by
means of fine wire with steel hook
at the end passed over the screens at a
time when the cashier was within less
than five feet Of The money. The
theory is that the treasury robbery was
done by this means from the gallery
running around above the cash room.
1t will be remembered that the day of
the robbery was dull and cloudy,
and the robber might (by watching his
opportunity have distracted the pack

hook into the seam of the envelope

The PUBLIC DEBT OF VIRGINIA.
The Staunton (Va.) Spectator of this
week, in concluding a series of arti
Giles on the public debt of that State,
says the alternate propositions are
thus presented to the people:
"It you wish to pay full interest on
the public debt, including interest on
the sinking fund, you must raise the
rate Of taxation to CPL cents on 500.
you desire prompt liquidation of
the principal, you must raise the rate of
taxation to 721 cents on 500.
We doubt if there is State in the
Union in which the rate of taxation
does not exceed 72b cents on 500.
When the debt is finally extinguish-
ed, the rate of taxation can readily lie
reduced to 20 or 25 cents on Sl0O on
the present assessed values, which we
have every reason to believe will stead
lily increase.
With such an exhibit, supposed to
be from the Hon A. H. II. Stuart, one
OF the most intelligent fnanciers in the
State, how criminal becomes the folly
of those Virginia politicians who, for
the purposes of temporary gain, are
seeking to cultivate a sentiment in
favor of repudiation-the mere sug
gestion of which has already inflicted
inoalculable damage on the State de-
pressing the value of its bonds, dis
couraging the introduction of foreign
capital, and almost entirely suspending
immigration.

The Last Station.

He had been sick at one of the ho-
tells for three or four weeks, and the
boys on the road had dropped in to
see how he got along, and to learn if
they could render him any kindness.
The brakeman was a good fellow, and
one and all encouraged him with the
hope that he would pull through. The
doctor didn't regard the case az all
dangerous, but the other day the pa.
tient began sinking. ard it was seen
that he could not live the night out.
A dozen of his friends sat in the room
when night came, but his mind wan-
dered, and he did not recognize them.
1t was near one of the great depots
and after the great trucks and noisy
drays had ceased rolling by, the bells
and short sharp whistles of the yard
engines sounded painfully loud. The
patient had been very quiet for half an
hour, when he suddenly Enclosed his
eyes and shouted
'SKal a,ma-zoo T.
One of the men brushed his hair
back from the cold forehead, and the
brakeman closed his eyes and was quiet
for time. Then the wind whirled
around the depot and banged the blinds
on the window of his room, and he lift
ed his hand and cried out
jackson! Passengers going north
by the Saginaw road change cars!"
The men understood. The brake
man thought he was coming east on
the Michigan Central. The effort
seemed to have greatly exhausted him,
for he lay like dead for the next five
minutes, and the watcher felt for his
pulse to see if he had gone out. A tug
going down the river sounded her
whistle loud and long, and the dying
brakeman opened his eyes and called
out
Gam Arbor !"
He had been over the road a thou
sand times, but had made his last trip
Death was drawing a special train
over the old track, and he was brake
man, engineer and conductor.
One of the yard engines uttered a
shrill whistle of warning, as if the glare
of the headlight had shown to the
engineer some stranger in peril, and the
brakeman called out
"Yp- slanty! Change cars here for
the Eel Rivel road"
Hes coming in fast" said one of
the men.
"And the end of the run will be the
end Of his life !" said second.
The dainpness of death began to
collect on the patients forehead and
there was that CHASTITY look on the
face which death always brings. The
slamming of door down the hall STAR
tied him again, and he moved his head
and family said
"Grand Trunk junction Passengers
going east by the Grand Trunk change
cars!"
+ He was so quiet after that that all
the men gathered around the bed, be-
lieying that he was dead. His eyes
chosed, and the brakeman lifted his
hands, moved his head and whisper
ed
