HOW -FOUR AMERICANS GOT THEIR
MONEY.
SHARP PRACTICE BY DUNCAN,
SHERMAN & co.
New YORK, August 70,

A correspondent writing from Paris,
says "Not half an hour passes that do
not hear of cases of distress arising from
this failure. Probably the majority OF
losers are persons to whom the event will
be a real hardship, as they have no re-
serve fund upon which to rely.
A widow who came to Europe a few
months ago to reside here and educate
her children, deposited all her money
with Duncan, Sherman & Co., and took
their letters of credit. She has not ten
dollars in her possession, and there are
rent and and school bills due. Her ex-
citement and alarm are so great that her
friends apprehend insanity. There are
many teachers, students, and others in
the same condition, and they are not
only in Paris, but all over the continent.
At least four Americans, who heard OF
the failure before the news reached the
Rothschild agency, secured their money,
and have retired from Paris to avoid trou-
BILE. One of the four was visited by the
cashier of the agency, who demanded the
return of the money, which was refused,
A policeman subsequently escorted him
to the American embassy, where the
cashier was told that he could not make
the arrest. "He can only seize his bag
gage, and advise you not to do that"
The cashier concluded he would wait,
apologized and departed.

A THRILLING SCENE
A FATHER RESCUES HIS CHILD
FROM THE CLUTCHES OF
AN ALLIGATOR.

Last Saturday, about sundown, four
miles east of this place, on Biloxi Bay,
occurred a scene calculated to send a
thrill of horror through every human
heart, and to make even the boldest
tremble with fear. Two little girls daugh-
ters of Mr.. Elan r. Blackwell, living on
the Back Bay of Biloxi, while bathing in
the bay Immediately in front of his dwell
ing, were attacked by an enormous alli-
gator. The eldest, a girl of about seven
years of age, was holding the youngest,
an infant of two years, in her hands, and
was quietly enjoying her bath, when sud
denly her little sister was snatcEed from
her and borne swiftly from the shore.
Terrified beyond measure, and unable to
render any assistance to her unfortunate
sister, the elder girl uttered scream,
which was quickly caught by the ear of
the father, who happened accidentally to
be passing within thirty or forty yards of
the spot where his daughters were bath
ing, Realizing instantly from the tone
of voice that his children were in some
peril, but unable to conjecture its exact
nature. Mr.. Blackwell, who is an active
and athletic man, rush rapidly to their
assistance, and arrived at the spot just In
time to discover his little daughter being
borne out into the bay by an alligator:
Comprehending the scene at once, and
nerved to almost superhuman effort by
the desperate situation of his child, the
agonized father leaped madly into the
water in pursuit of the would be destroy
er of his daughter, which was then some
twenty-five or thirty yards from shore'
The water for a distance OF forty or hity
yards out into the bay, from the point
where his children were bathing, ranges
in depth from one and a-half to two feet,
and then suddenly attains a depth OF
forty or fifty feet, and both the animal
(which by this time had discovered the
pursuit) and the father seemed to reallze
that the deep water Immediately in front
of them once reached, pursuit ana recoy-
cry would be alike Impossible Dotn,
therefore, redoubled their efforts, the one
to reach the point, the other TO prevent
it. In this struggle, althoug n sinking 70
his waist in the soft mud at the pottom on
at each bound, the father was suceessinl.
He succeeded in grasping his child oy
the arm about ten feet from deep wafer; i;

THE VITAL PRINCIPLE OF THE
OHTO DEMO- TITO PLATFORM.


s. That the contraction of the curren-
cy heretofore made by the Republican
party, and the further contraction pro-
posed by it with view to the forced re-
sumption of specie payment, has already
brought disaster to the business of the
country, and threatens it with general
bankruptcy and ruin. We demand that
this policy be abandoned, and that the
volume of currency be made and kept
equal to the wants of trade, leaving the
restoration of legal-tenders to par with
gold to be brought about by promoting
the industries of the people, not by des-
troying them.
g. That the policy already initiated by
the Republican party of abolishing legal
tenders and giving National Banks the
power to furnish all the currency will in
crease the power of an already dangerous
monopoly aud the enormous burdens
now expressing the people; without any
compensating advantage, and that we op-
pose to this policy the demand that all
the National Bank circulation be prompt
ly and permanently retired, and legal
tenders be issued in their place.
10. That the public interest demands
that the the Government should cease to
discredit its own currency, and should
make its legal tenders receivable for all
public dues except where respect for the
obligations of contracts requires payment
in coin and that we favor the payment
of at least one-half the customs in legal
tenders.
II. The extinction of tie present Ma
tional Banks, and the establishment in
their stead of a system of free banks of
discount and deposit only, under such
regulations as the States may respective
ly prescribe, and no paper currency ex-
cept such as may be issued directly by
and upon the faith Of the General Gov
ernment,

THE COMMERCIAL VALUE OF FE-
MALE BEAUTY.

The United States District Court OF
Oregon has given Emertine Koch, a Ger
Inan girl of nineteen summers, $4,000
damages for injuries sustained while on a
passage in the steerage of the Oregon
Steamship Company's steamer, the 0ri-
hamme, last March, from San Francisco
to Portland. The libellant could not
speak English, and the steward in charge
aof the steerage could not speak German.
The family with whom Emertine travelled
were cabin passengers, and had procured
for hera steerage ticket. She was struck
by some boxes of tin which, by the roll
sOf the ship, between San Francisco bar
and Point Reyes, going at usual speed,
were thrown down and inflicted upon
her a wound, leaving permanent scar,
which disfigured her forehead. Judge
Deady in his opinion CALAMITY remarks :
In this country, at least, it is still open
10 every woman, however poor or hum
.Dle, to obtain a secure and independent
position in the community by marriage.
In that matter, which is said to be the
chief end Of her existence, personal ap-
pearance, comeliness is consideration
r0foomparative importance in the case of
every daughter of Eve" Ithaving been
5udicially decided that the chances to
marry are open to every daughter Olive,
at becomes carriers to the Oregon coun-
try to ext rcise great caution in transport
ing fair freight, as heavy damages will
'1e likely to follow any neglect in this

MR.. BEBCHER IN THE MOUNTAINS.
His First Vacation at the 1win
Mountain House.
TWIN MOUNTAIN HOUSE, N. H.,
August Sth, 1875.

The first of the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher's vacation sermons was deliver
ed here this morning. There was large
attendance made up of the residents of
the village adjacent and guests of the ho-
sels in the vicinity. Host of the inmates
of the Crawford and Fabyan Houses
were brought by special train Of cars
run from Crawford. One hundred and
eight vehicles, drawn by 218 horses came
loaded with persons anxious to see and
hear the pastor of Plymouth Church,
Not only was the great drawing room
crowded, but the adjoinging piazzas and
corridors we're th'onged. 1t is probable
that not less than 1900 or l 400 people
listened to the sermon. In the audience
were G. Hilton Scribner and General W.
w. Clarke, of New York.
After the opening prayer was offered
and the Introductory hymns were sung,
the revernd gentleman announced as his
text the Sd chapter of John, 5th and 9th
verses: "Jesus answered, Verify, verify,
| say unto thee, except man be born of
water and of the spirit he cannot enter
the kingdom of God. That which is
born of the flesh is flesh, and that
which is born Of the spirit is spirit"
Mr.. Beecher began by describing the
charater of NiCodemus and defending
him from the charge ofcowardice. Then
he defined morally and spiritually, and
avowed his belief in the Importance of
both He discussed their relative values
and declared the latter as we'll as the for
mer to be indispensable to salvation. The
discourse, which occupied nearly an hour
was attentively listened to, and was fol-
lowed bya brief prayer, and then, after
taking up collection for the purpose of
procuring additional copies Of the Ply
mouth collection of hymns and tunes for
the accommodation of those who worship
here, the services closed with the singing
of a hymn.
Mr.. Beecher expects to preach at this
house every Sunday morning during his
soiourn at the mountains. Regularly on
week days he conducts services in one of
the parlors, on which occasion he reads
passages of scriptures, comments upon
them, and after brief prayer the
audience unite in singing one or two
hymns.

ONLY once before in the history of the
country was there no living ex-President.
That was in 1899, when Washington died.
No one who had held the Presidential
office died from 1949 to 1862, and five liv-
ing ex-Presidents-Van Buren, Tyler,
Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan-might
have graced the inaugural of Abraham
Lincoln. This was the greatest number
of x-Presidents living at any time. The
proposition has been often broached in
the newspapers to make ex-Presidents
ex-ol1icio members of the Senate, in or
der that the national councils might have
the benefit of their experience in public
affairs; and the history of the nation
shows that the number of these gentle
men surviving at any one time can never
be so great as to give them undue infu-
ence.

HORRIBLE RAILWAY ACCIDENT IN
CHILL.
IRA ALNFALLS THRO UGH A SHODDY BRIDGE
THE WRECK TAKES FIRE.AND HALE
THE PASSENGERS PERISH
PANAMA, August |, 1875.


On the night of the 9th ult. one of the
most horrible railroad accidents that has
ever happened in Chill occurred on the
Santiago and Valparaiso railroad. AS
the train from Valparaiso was passing
over the bridge at Lima the structure
gave way, and with the exception of the
engine and tender, the whole train, con-
tanning persons, was precipitated into
the river below. The lamps were broken
in the fall, and the oil running out igni-
ted and set fire to the larger part of the
wreck. Fully one-half of the passengers
were either crushed to death or perished
by fire or water. The investigation went
to show that the accident was caused by
effectiveness of the bridge, which was
condemned by the engineer as unsafe
several months ago, without any meas
ures being taken to remedy it.
The cold was so intense in the prov
ince of Roncauga, Chill, that four per-
sons were frozen to death.

HoWTHEYHArcH EGGSN OHINA

In Minturn's "From New York to
Delhi" | was reading lately what he saw
of egg.hatching in Southern China. Its
SO different from the usual methods in
practice that it struck me as being well
worthy of reproduction in the Tribune.
"0n our return from the Gardens we
stopped at an egg-hatehing establish
ment. This was a large wooden, barn
shaped building on the river bank. The
eggs are purchased out of the produce
boats that come down the river, and are
here artifcially hatched. The process
employed is singular, as using snly the
natural heat of the egg, and is as fol-
lows Large baskets, each twice the size
of an ordinary barrel. and thickly lined
with hay, to prevent the loss Of heat, are
filled with the eggs, and then carefully
closed with a closely-ftting cover of
twisted straw. The eggs are now left for
three days, after which they are removed
from the basket and replaced in different
order-those eggs which were before on
the surface being now on the lowest tier.
At the end of three days more the posi-
ton ofthe eggs is again altered, and so
on for fifteen days, after which time the
eggs are taken out of the basket and
placed on shelfin another apartment
and covered with bran, In the course
of day or two the chicken bursts its
shell and makes its way out Of the bran,
being at once taken charge of by an at
tendant who is always on the watch.
The whole secret of this process is in the
fact that the animal heat of the whole
mass of eggs being retained by the bask-
ct, which is formed of materials which
do not conduct caloric, is sufficient to sup
port the animal life or any one particular
egg, and to foster its development.-N

for monetary purposes, rather than to be
afflicted with the old wildcat currency.
But then note of the United States
Government is not wildcat. 1t is about
