the lawyers cannot hope to stand II the
DEGREES and injunctions Of the Courts can be
violated with inpunity, when there is an
easy way Of correcting any injustice or error
that may hare been mnde, then We may as
weh abandon onr Courts. II the "opinion +"
Of hired attorneys that an injunction is Illegal
relieves those who violate it Of punishment
for contompt, and if such attorneys are freed
from contempt because they. did not adoise u
violation, but merely gave an t'opinion " that
it was Illegal (knowing it would be construed
as advica), then the Courts had better cease
issuing injunctions unless they are furnished
with an army to enforce them. The fact is
that desperate game was played by des-
perate men,. md the lawyers who gave it. q
professional sanction viii have more reason
in the end to regret their action if this con-
tempt is not punished than if it is punished;
for, in the former case, the Courts upon
which they rely will henceforth be powerless.

it was q well-managed troupe; md It was
comparatively an inexpensive one~ With ono
exception, it made money upon each per-
fotmanca.
The sum TOTAL shows TINT; notwithstanding
the hard times, the people have been liberal
in their patronage OF music. The disastrous
reverses Of the managers have been parity
due to bad management, but mainly to the
fact that the managers have taken no account
Of the dullness Of the season and OF the de-
termined economy Of the people. They have
come to Chicago when business was slack and
money tight, and urranged their prices Of ad-
mission as If tha times wore flush and money
abundant The same remark is true OF the
purely local concerts. - OF the hundred OF
more given in this city for churches, char1-
ties, and other purposes, very few have paid
the expenses, partly because they have not
been very attractive in the programmes, and
partly because the prices have been too high
The managers Of Our local concerts have not
been particular enough to make their pro
grnmmes new. People have been surfeited
with P1Nsur1, CLAY Mo11oY, VIRGINIA Ga
Of this stamp, who are tedious1y alike. If a
large price is charged the programmes
must contain something attractive There
have been amateur, concerts given here
this season, at opera prices, which
did not contain = single element Of nov-
city in their programmes, or q single
number which has not been heard scores Of
times On the whole, however, there has
been an increase OF interest in musical mat
ters. The number Of entertainments for
187+'75 has been much larger than for 1873
~, and thu various musical organizations Of
the city are in good condition Immediately
after the Fire, TEE TRIBUNE predicted that
music would be the last element to recover
the ground it had lost, and this has proved to
be the case. All the signs, however, are now
hopeful and We anticipate for next season
much greater success than this, both fnan-
cially and musically.

OF the Cook County National Bank. With
disdainful disregard Of the limitations Of the
National Currency act, and an utter indifer-
enee to the penalties thereof, Mr. ALLEN, as
an individual inaucier, kept on checking out
money from the bank which he controlled
until, it is now believed, that be had person.
ally used about $500, 600 of bank funds be-
fore the doors were closed.
Of course Mr.. ALLEN was not able to meet
the requirements of 3 large banking inshtu-
ton like the Cook County National, doing q
reckless business On poor securities, and
weathering the storm Of general panic,
without dabbling in outside operations. Here:
Mr. ALLEN genius served him. With $40, COZ
Of the bank funds he could obtain $75,UD
Of notes, which he could indorse and Use
for his personal necessities. Then he
would get hold of q couple of b.rm-
dred Thousand sent to Chicago to invest
in pork, aud he would postpone the
Investment Then country bank would
send on some money to be invested in g nited
States bonds, and he would defer buyir:g the
bonds, Then special providence would como
along in the shape Of Government 'funds,
secured through political influences. City
funds helped curry him along for while,
and even the State contributed to the extent
Of Mr.. HARRER's deposit When everything
else failed-and ALLEN was frequently On the
ragged edge, ready to go over-he ct",ld gen.
orally obtain somebody's note as collateral,
and start things up again At last; he sold
exchange when his New York CORE tpondents
would no longer honor it, and eve 4 then he
hoped to bridge over with deposit Of State
funds which we're to besecured through the In
duence Of one Of his newspaper q :gans,-tha
Inter-Ocean. In this he was q sappointed,
aud his resources were oil Ell, nusted He
closed his doors like Ftaulein SRI: :rz1EB, when
the principal waa all gone and h. could bor-
row no more.
We pass over in silence Mr. ALIENS run
ming comments on the gentleulen with whom
he was associated, and som Of the other
bankers Of Chicago. Mr. Dt,EBns and Afr.
CHAuscEx 7. Bowen probsbly have their
opinion of A1r. ALLEN now; We suspect that
Mr. Coo11AuoH had his long ago. We do
not regret that circumstances which we shn1l
not reveal led Mr ALLEN to transcribe his
operations from day to dry; for it was this
daily transcript which hiss enabled the world
to become familiar with tb mos: remarkable
financial career On record. But as Mr.
BEEcHER's troubles have probably served rs
q warning not to write Letters, Mr. ALIENS
example Will probably aiew the folly Of keep

| 9 dollar Of any kind, or eny couatef8t IL III
bank, lie put out sign that, until he coulc
! convert some of his vast real-estate posses.
.6ions into cash, be would close the doors Of
| his bank.
That Mr. ALLEN was an adVenturer, and
! never had in Chicago the lenst financial sub
stance, is beyond all question, He was for
! ever seeking Influence" Like Mr. Ca177Es'-
DEN seeking paving contract at Washington,
he was always ready to pay any man who had
"inhuence," and would exercise it to induce
other people to put their money in his bank,
aud he was followed by q pack Of men who
were bleeding him on that pretense. How
much ho paid for 'induence to hnye the
inspection funds placed in his concern may
yet appear How much be was topay for
ttintluenoe" to have the Internal Revenue
collections deposited with him, and how
much he was to pay to have the State funds
brought from Springfield and put in the Cook
County Bank, may never be known, because
both attempts failed 49,:
But, in the case Of I. the attempted raid on
the State Treasury, we hare Mr. ALIENS Own
testimony as to who was one Of the agents
using political influence for that purpose,
and, before week is over, we will probably
be able to give the Whole history OF that
transaction, 80 far as HI. ALLEN has put it On
record.
The State Treasury of Illinois, in January
last, when the new Treasurer took possession
of the Office, had in its vaults fraction over
TWO aEu11oNB or po11Ansi How much Of
this sum-whether one-fourth, one-third, or
one-hnlf-was contracted by Il PALMER, Of the
Inter- Ocean," to be transferred from Spring
field to the Cook County Bank, does not ap-
pear from those portions of ALIENS daily
record which our correspondent has
sent to us; but We hope to have
the full particulars. We, however, have
to congratulate the people Of Illinois that
they escaped the calamity which would
have attended such q transfer. Whatever
had gone into that bank would hive been
lost. We have no doubt that, so desperate
was the condition Of the man when PALMER
went to Springfield on that mission, he
every dollar brought to bis bank. Hence the
people Of the State may understand the prob
ablo price which ALIEN was to pay for the H.
fluence which would have transferred the
State funds to his then empty bank-vaults.
Wo must, in justice to hr. RDowAx, the
state Treasurer, say that there is nothing in
ALIENS daily record to show that he had
made any such promise to deposit the State
funds with either ALLEN OF his bank. The
only thing TINT appears is that "PA1nER, Of
the Intr-0eean," assured him that he o.
had fixed the matter, and the money would
come up as soon as the Treasurer got into
office

BLO0DTHIRSTY FLOWER

Sir JOHN LuBBocK's last book is entitled
sBritish Wild Flowers Considered in Rela-
hon to Insects" He shows that number Of
them, considered in this way, are eaters o1
flesh and drinkers Of blood They live partly
on the forces they draw from air and earth,
but partly, too, on the insects they allure, en-.
snare, and digest. Tho statements Of this
book are confirmed by the researches OF
DARWIN and Dr.. HooKrE in England, several
botanists in France and Germany, and Mrs.
MARY L. TREAT, Of VinelRnd, N. J. This
lady has been studying the subject indefati-
gnb1y, and has published soma curious results
Of her Investigations
There are eight known genera Of insectiv-
orous plants, and several moro, as yet undis-
covered, probably exist. Several varieties are
very common in this country. Among them
are the bladder-wort and the gnn-dew. Some
Of them swing little buckets of water in tbs
air, and so catch and drown rash insects.
Others thrust out tubes coated inside with a
sweet glue, in which bugs stick and strangle.
Still others are arranged like an old-fnshioned
rat-tap, with sharp points that allow an un-
wary animal to pass in but prevent his going
out. And others, again, hold valves open
until some winged creature hies through
them and then suddenly shut them up and
proceed to absorb the victim. These vegeta-
ble blood suckers are provided with nervous
systems and digestive fluids.
The sun-dew has been examined with
especial care by Mrs- Treat. It is savage
insect-destroyer. It th1usts out hairs which
exude sticky fluid that shines like diamonds
in the sunlight, aud so attracts the
creatures it ensnares. Tbs long leaf
catches not only small bugs, but
" ;nnurnerabls moths and butterflies two
inches across." The leaf is by no means
a passive trap. Il acts with apparent intelli-
genoe and with something like free will.
When Mrs. TREAT pinned living flies within
a quarter Of an inch OF a sun-dew, the latter
reached out its hairs and caught the victims.
When live fly was put in the centre Of a
leaf, it was completely enveloped within
three hours The sane leaf folded up around
piece of raw beef within twelve hours
When it YVES offered minerals, bits Of chalk,
ETC., it declined to swallow them.
It is one Of the greatest boasts Of science
that it is practical. The average American,
looking at these new facts, will at once be-
think him Of 4 possible application of them.
The grasshoppers are eating up the Vest !;
the sun-dew can eat up the grasshoppess !;
then give it chance, Plant the infested
districts thickly with this erasahopperivorous
vegetable. Detail tho Digger Indians, whose
stomachs yearn for the hopper, to stand in
ranks behind the sun-dew in order to capture
and devour any locust that escapes sticky
death. Then the farmers Of Kansas can live
in plenty and the rogues OF Kansas can no
longer live by collecting subscriptions for
sham sufferers,

erdrees, pudding, fruit, ices, and cafe an lalt,
at the o'clock dinner. The programme fol
the latter part Of the week may seem hard to
the average minister, but the average minis
ter should remember that tho Son Of Man
cid not come eating and drinking; that
-fETER and PAUL, and the rest Of the Apos-
Ties, lived upon fish and that JoHs, who WAS
most eloquent and effective, and came crying
in the wilderness, Jared sumptuously on
"1ocusts and wild honey. The former Lively
bird is now SO abundant in this country that
every minister might hare plate Of than at
least once Or twice week, either made into
soup or fricasseed, as he prefers them.
The only difference between TIE CHICAGO
TRIBUNE and Prof. PATTON is that, while the
former hns recommended pork and beans for
Sunday morning, which is the foundation OF
the New En- land theology, the latter thinks
it Is dangerous distender, and ought to be
reserved until Monday morning. TIE Tam-
uaE is not inclined to make any issue on such
an immaterid point, and is disposed, there
fore, to yield to Prof. PATTON, who has prob
ably had Sunday experiences with the con-
ventiona1 New England dish, and speaks
knowingly. The TRIBUNE, furthermore, ls
disposed to congratulate Prot. PATTON that,
while they may not agree upon what the
preacher ought to preach, they do agree
upon what be ought to eat. The Chicago
ministers may, therefore, understand that
TIE TRIBUNE and the interior have formed
an alliance to reform their menus and secure
"sparkling and swapping preaching.

VANITY OF VANITIE9,

"Vanity Of vanities," saith the preacher
"all is vanity" And if SOLOMON had known
LIE GRAND LOCKWOOD in bis Life, and seen
his palace ct Norwalk, Conn, ANIL foreseen the
ultimate destiny Of the Norvalk palace, he
would hive made his reflection still longer and
stronger. Only brief decade ago Mr.. I1
GRAND LOCKWOOD was millionaire, rcl1ing
in money. Everything he touched was
transmitted into gold He had I'll the power,
influence, md advantage: which almost
boundless treasures. can bring. Some 3D.
mired and others envied him, and he was
courted by all. 4 Large portion of his
wealth was put in private residence
at Norwalk, which was pnlatial in di1nen-
sions and in equipment He built
it Of solid blocks Of granite, and
be finished it with rosewood, mahogany, and
cedar Of Lebanon. He adorned his floors
with mosaics Of more than fifty different
kinds of marbles, and one door nlone, CON-
posed Of many different kinds OF wood, cost
him 33 600, which IS more than the average
price Of the dwellings Of the rest Of man
kind He 1aid out forty acres Of ground
with the finest taste aud skill in landscape
gardening money could: procure. Three
acres of conseryatories were filled with the
rarest e1otics and, when the palace Was
done, it had coat Mr. LIZ GRAND Lock
WOOD q million and qnartaz Of dol:
Lars. And what then ? Cui 6onof hr.
LIE GRAND LOCKWOOD died (Eor even
millionaires must dia), aud was gathered
to his fathers. The palace has passed into
the possession Of the Lake Shore &, Michigan
Southern Railroad Company By foreclosure
OF mortgage, and the elegant establishment
upon which Mr.. LIE GRAND LocKYooD er.
pended his million and a quarter WAS recent
~ offered for sale at $110, ,0oo,--a beggarlJ
pittance as compared with its original cost
Notwithstanding this is the way Of the world,
there is an element Of sadness in it. It IS
pathetic close to an ambitious life, when AZ
its aspirations arc left unsatis6ed, and
the dry which opens 50 gloriously and bright
" closes in gloom and Storm Although the
social economist may mourn and mora1lze:
over the folly Of squandering 20 many tho1*
sands upon residence, there is something
laudahlo in this desire to establish an elegant
home for ones self and posterity, and sonae-
thing Had when ones ambition is crushed snd'
.vulgarized, and ones dreams tutn to such
atern and bittAr realties. The moral, how
ever, remains, and the words Of the gFsat
preacher are just ~ true now u whom thy
were uttered .. -.
