Responsibility of Savings Banks.

An interesting case has just been de-
cided in the City Court of Brooklyn.
William Allen sued tho Williamsburg
Savings bank for $1,000, and the result
shows that banks cannot be TOO careful
in paying out money.
Mr.. Allen had deposited in the bank
named $1,000. In October last, Mrs.
Allen procured false keys and opened
the trunk in which her husband kept his
bank book. She abstracted the book,
filed out draft for $2,950, presented
the book and the draft at the bank, and
got the money. In January last Mr..
Allen went to the bank to have his inter-
est account written up. He was then
told that his wife had drawn out s., $50,
and the draft and the entry in the book
were pointed out utasproof Of the estatement.
Mr.. Allen denied all knowledge of the
transaction, and demanded that the
50, $50 be restored to his credit. The
bank declined to do this. Then he asked
for the return of the whole $1,000. This
request was likewise denied. His last
resort was an action of the law, which
was begun and decided forthwith. The
bank urged that all the bylaws required
was that the entry should be made in
the book, and that that was sufficient
proof of the transaction. On the other
side, another bylaw was pointed out,
which provided thata savings bank must
use its best endeavors to prevent fraud.
1t was shown that instead of doing this,
the bank had accepted draft with Mr..
Aliens name attached, but that it did
not even pretend to be an imitation of
his signature. The jury were out five
minutes, and gave the plaintiff verdict
for the full amount.

Only a Basket of Flowers.

Last evening a dapper young gent,
with educated mustache and patronizing
smile, entered an up-bound car on St.
Charles avenue, and having deposited
his fare with the tips of his gloved fin
gers, took seat and drew imaginary
maps of Africa on shining pair of boots
with delicate malacca cane. The only
other occupant of the car, excepting the
Jehu, our informant, was a modest
young lady, who sat next to the lion.
Soon a flower boy entered the car and
proflered his wares for sale. The self
satisfied young man gallantly directed
the boy to present the basket to the young
lady with his compliments, with instruc-
tons to help herself as she pleased. The
young lady slowly and deliberately pro-
ceeded to relieve the flower boy of his
entire burden, which so pleased the
young man that he smiled most ap-
proving smile, and promptly paid down
the whole amount to the boy. When
the lady saw that the boy had been paid,
she slowly proceeded to pile the flowers
together, after which, with an expression
of scorn that added unreasonable to her
loveliness, she threw the whole of them
out into the street. Tableau !-Ne,L

A Free and Easy Watering Place.

Berek is on the French coast,a short
distance from Boulogne. The fish
women set the fashion, and the Wealth.
est visitors easily follow it. A single
thin garment, falling from the neck to a
little below the knee, and pair of gay
ly-worked slippers, constitute the entire
costume at Berek. Stockings are un-
known, or, at least, if any lady appears
with stockings she is recognized as a
newcomer. 1t may require twenty-four
hours for her prudery to wear off ; at
the end of that time she will appear in
as scanty dress as the rest. About
half of them, indeed, dispense even with
the slippers, and one sees groups play
ing croquet, the gentlemen clad in
snowy linen and wearing red or blue
caps, and the ladies in hats and short,
bright-colored skirts, but neither en-
numbered by shoes or stockings. Often
times, however, the wind blows the dry
sand for miles over the beach, and to
prevent this from getting into the eyes,
glasses Or spectacles with wire -gauze
frames are worn, which on young and
fair faces have droll effect. One would
think also that the same sand would
sting the lily-white ankles and calves
which are SO freely exposed, but if SO the
effect is not severe enough to induce
their owners to don the stockings.- -

of the local panic /; then he changed to
New York, still as banker, and then
back to San Francisco to settle up bus
mess which had not been specially re-
munerative. We next find him practic-
ing law as a member of the firm of Sher-
man, Ewing & McCook, which, as he
says, "helped to pass away the time,
but afforded little profit" Then he be-
came Superintendent of military col
lege in Louisiana, which he abandoned
at the outbreak of the war. He went to
st. Louis as President of horse-rail-
roads company, was offered the Chief
Clerkship of the War Department, but
declined, and shortly after was appointed
Colonel in the Regular Army, and from
that has grown to be the General of the
United States forces.

Heroic Women.

A cotemporary, speaking of heroic
women, says, as rule, that bravery and
heroism do not accompany beauty, and
instances Joan of Arc, who was not
handsome, though a true heroine; the
Maid of Saragossa was also a very plain
person; also naming other instances in
corroboration of the idea. The rule is
not an infallible one, certainly, and no
doubt by little research one might
easily support the opposite proposition.
Without time upon our hands to rake
over the musty records of the past, one
striking instance of beauty and heroism
combined occurs to us, relating to the
lovely Madame du Frenoy, French
lady of great personal beauty, and who
became famous for her extraordinary
and gallant conduct on more than one
occasion. She was remarkable for the
delicacy of her beauty, and its refined
and touching character, yet she could be
bold when the occasion required-bold
as lioness.
Madame du Frenoy was once on board
of polacre in the Mediterranean,
bound for Genoa. 1t was during the
wild days of Algerine pirates in those
waters, and corsair attacked the vessel.
The rover ranging alongside by means
of his strongly-manned sweeps, poured
broadside into the polacre, then cast
ing his grapnels, prepared to carry the
vessel by boarding, the piratical captain
leading his men and cutting down all
before him. The crew of the polacre
made stout resistance, because they
knew that to yield was simply to be muir
dered half hour later, but being so
largely outnumbered they began to be
disheartened, many of them lying dead
and bleeding upon the deck. 1t was a
very unequal contest-a peaceful crew
defending themselves against an organ
lied band of corsairs, and the polacre's s
men were about to submit to the enemy
when the tide of battle was suddenly
changed.
Madame du Frenoy rushed out of the
cabin with pistol in her hand and shot
the leader of the pirates dead; then
seizing cutlass from dying sailor, she
cut with vigorous arm right and left
among the corsairs, giving terrible
wounds in their faces and upon their
heads. She seemed endowed with SUI
perhuman strength, and paused In
amazement, actually dazed by her won
drous beauty and her deeds. The crew
of the polacre rallied at the sight, and
drove the invaders from their deck. The
pirates thought that Saint had come to
theprotection of the polacre, and SO made
hasty retreat.
For this brave and gallant conduct
the Grand Master of the Knights Of
Malta sent, as present, costly brace.
let of rrlbies to Madame du Frenoy, and
she was received with acclamations by
the people of Genoa.

Saxon,s the Thing.

"We are not attracted" says the dr.
cadian, I" to patrenize barber because
he styles himself 'tonsorial artist, and
his place of work 'hair dressing studio;'
but we rather bear him a grudge for
trying to impose on us with such vile
rhetoric, and congratulate ourselves as
we cross to the opposite side of the
street, that verbal fourishes upon the
whole are less dangerous than fourishes
with razor. But it is not to be doubted
that there are some people who think
more highly of themselves because they
get their boards cut in studio by an
artist; and it is to this shoddy element
that the 'tonsorial artist, the fine art
tailors, and the other nondescript hum
bugs Of the period appeal. Their Gus
toners are the people who live In resi-
denees,' worship the golden calf in tab
ernaeles,' do their shopping in 'empori..
nrus,' cool their wine In reffigeratorsr
aud extend invitations, forsoeth, ss Il
invitations were things to be held ont ut

A couple of horsemen coming into the
city the other day from the interior,
overlook an old man and his wife seated
in the bottom of mule-cart. Feeling
in high spirits, one of the men called
out:
"Hello, uncle, how much will you
take for your wife, cash downa"
"Oh, I dunno" he slowly replied.
"Well, name your price,"
"How much1l ye give9" he asked.
"Ten dollars. %
"Take her!''
The horseman didn't know what to say,
and was gathering up the reins, when
the old woman jumped to the ground
and exclaimed:
"Pass over the ducats, mister! 1 like
the old man, and he likes me, but we 'ar

Against Trains.

Oliver Wendell Holmes writes: "Our
landlady's daughter is young lady of
some pretensions to gentility. She wears
her bonnet well back upon her head, which
is known to all to be mark of high
breeding. She wears her trains very
long, as the great ladies do in Europe.
To be sure their dresses are SO made only
to sweep the tapestried floors of chateaus
and palaces; as those odious aristocrats
of the other side do not go dragging
through the mud in silks and satins, but,
forsooth, must ride in coaches when
they are in full dress. 1t is true that,
considering various habits of the Ameri-
can people, also the little accidents which
the best kept sidewalks are liable to, a
lady who has swept a mile of them is not
exactly in such a condition that one
would care to be her neighbor. But
confound the make-believe women we
have turned loose in our streets Where
do they come from? Not out of Boston
parlors, I trust. Why there isn't beast
or a bird that would drag its tail through
the dirt in the way these creatures do
their dresses. Because queen or a
luClooo WCttIS lOuS IOUtS Ou SICde OOSo-
sions, maid of all work or factory girl
thinks she must make herself nuisance
by trailing about with her-pah that's
what I call getting vulgarity into your
bones and marrow. Making believe
what you are not is the essence of vul-
garity. Show over dirt is the one attri-
butte of vulgar people. If any man can
walk behind one of these women and see
what she rakes up rs she goes, and NOT
feel squeamish, he has got tough stom-
ach. 1 wouldn't let one of 'em into
my room without serving them as David
served Gaul at the cave in the wilder
ness-cut off his skirts, sir, cut off his
skirts. Don't tell me that true lady
ever sacrifices the duty of keeping al
about her sweet and clean to the wish O.
making vulgar show. won't believe
it of lady. There are some things tina
no fashion has a right to touch, ant
cleanliness is one of those things. If {
woman wishes to show that her husband
or father has got money which she want
and means to spend, but doesn't know
how, let her buy yard or two of sill
and pin it to her dress when she goe
out to walk, but let her unpin it befor
she goes into the house"
