A Sad Procession.

A startling scene was witnessed in New York city recently. Fifteen mur- derers marched from the Tombs to the courthouse for trial. They stepped from the Franklin street door of the prison handcuffed in threes, and were formed in 8 procession, with deputy sheriff, like lieutenant, in front of each trio of prisoners. There were in the company two women, three negroes, and two boys. A local exchange says Their faces are bad, either wickedness or ignorance, or both, being repulsively featured in them. Around the line rela- tives of the murderers-a few men and children, but more women-were clus- tered and some of them were weeping, but the prisoners were in the main stolid. The spectacle drew multitude even within the few seconds before the start. Scannell was separated from the rest, and taken unmanacled to the courthouse, and the two women were also spared the humiliation of walking with the rest. The twelve that walked in the hand cuffed company, interspersed with the officers, and surrounded first by their friends, and outside of them by the star ing throng, were marshaled through Centre and Chambers streets to the court house. On the way the throng was augmented until the street was full Some of the murderers seemed humili. ated, and hung their heads. One who was the middle of his rank, with both hands fastened to his companions, per. suaded one of them to pull his hat brim down over his face. Several seemed dazed, and not to care how they looked or who saw them. More numerous thar either of these kinds, however, were those who held up their heads brazenly and gave stare fer stare. The wife ot one of the negroes walked by his side holding his unfettered hand and sob bing hysterically. The mother of one of the boys kept close to. him, and once took off his hat to fix his hair, which was light fayen and had grown very long He was of the few who seemed ashamed and his eyes overhowed when hil mothers hands touched him. The off cers made them walk fast, and conse quently the time in going to the court house was brief.

The Duration of Life.

In ancient Rome, during the period between 200 and 300 A. D., the average duration of life among the upper classes was thirty years. In the present cen tury, among the same classes of people, it amounts to fifty years. In the six teenth century the mean duration of life in Geneva was 21.21 years, between 1841 and 1883 it was 40.68 years, and at the present time as many people live to seventy years of age as three hundred years ago lived to the age of forty three. In the year 1893 the British government borrowed money, the amount borrowed to be paid in annuities, on the basis of the mean duration of life at that time. The State treasury made thereby good bargain, and all parties to the transac- tion were satisfied. Ninety-seven years later Pitt established another tontine or annuity company, based on the presump- tion that the mortality would remain the same as. aihundr> years before. But in this instance it transpired that the government had made bad bargain, since, while in the first tontine 10000 persons of each sex died under the age twenty eight, 9 hundred years later only 5,772 males and 6, 416 females died under this age. From this fact it appears that life under certain favorable infu- ences has gained in many and probably in all it's forms and manifestations, both in vigor and duration.

A Village Demolished.

The town of Las Cruces, New Mexico, was nearly devastated by waterspout flood. The Bordere7' says the flood dropped out of the cloud at the foot of Organ mountain, little east of town, just in the dusk of the evening. The roar of the rushing torrent was heard long before the seething waves appeared in sight. When it reached the town every street was filled with such rush of waters that it was impossible to cross even with horse. Families in the most exposed portion rushed for safety to other places. In an hour houses and corrals began to tumble, and it seemed for some time that not house would be left standing. Darkness came on with a heavy rain, and the progress of devasta- tion could be marked in the vivid fash es of lightning, and the sound of falling buildings. At midnight the flood began to abate. Next morning the village was mass of ruins. One end of the convent and academy was knocked in, and the two finest private residences in the place were demolished, and the costly furni- ture ruined. A two story residence, oc- cupied by James D. OcRoa and family, came down with crash, the inmates barely saving themselves from death. The Masonic hall, the largest building in, the town, was so badly damaged that it will have to be torn down, if it does not fall down. Altogether, some fifty houses were leveled, some of the smaller and almost worthless ones being drifted away, and about twenty poor families found themselves bereft of all their worldly goods next morning. The loss was about $100,000.

How He Did 1t.

The Boston Joav7ot's New York cor respondent writes: A Now York mer- chant died the other day whose early life has good lesson for young men to copy. He went as a boy into the "Swamp." and took the rough work connected with the leather business. At his mothers request he joined a Sunday school. From that he joined the church. He was not only peculiar for his readi- ness to work, but his readiness to give. There was hardly anything started that he did not help along in humble way with his humble means. His church was in tight place, as New York churches are apt to be. The members were as- sessed generally, and he was put down for $25. He couldn't have raised that sum if he had sold all his clothes and trinkets. One day man came into the yard and showed him the skin of a muskra. told him how he caught the animal and cured the skin. He said nothing, but that night after work wa
 done he went down to the dock and cap- tured few rats. He kept the work up for week. He cured the skins and found ready sale for them. Before the subscription became due he had $25 and handsome balance over. He was sensible enough to see the handsome business open to him. He turned out to be frst-class business man, and died leaving fortune of half million.

 Very Bad Treatment.

In San Diego county, California, pro- ceedings have been commenced to de- priYe a, small band of Indians snumber- ing two hundred and fifty soF three hun dred persons, of 7 valuable propefty, which undoubtedly belongs ato Them. The Iemecula Indians, fofmerly belong- ing to the Missioner San Luis Ray, have for more than forty years been recog- nized as the most thrifty and industrious Indians in the State. ;, A party of, white men, ten in number, ,hold 'anI old sMexi- can grant for, the, ranch occupied by these Indians, and in, 1873 they obtained from State court Judgment in eject ment against some few white men who were residing on the ranch and nearly all the adult male population of the In dian village of Temecula. Recently the sheriff of San Diego county received or ders not only to remove the Indians, but also to take of their property whatever may be required to pay tue costs of the more than twenty years they have been commissioners and agents that they should be protected in the possession of their lands. z. They have farlned the land on Wn1cns1ney nave nVeu, ana QWn con- siderable property in horses, cattle, and sheep. all of which will Nprohably be taken away from themsto Raythe costs of legal proceedings they knew nothing about, while they are to be driven from their homes at the. worst season of the year for earning 9 Livelihood. A delega
 tion from the band went to Los, Angeles to appeal for protection to the Indian agent whose duty it 2 was to look aftel their interests, but they could neither find him nor obtain any information re
 garding his whereabouts. California newspapers denounce the whole busi
 ness as the extreme of injustice. tias&

NOtre Dame and the Commune.

The Abbe Riche has just published long and interesting article in the Gag cite de FrGnce telling how Notre Dame, of Paris, was saved during the days when nearly all the public buildings were burnt by the Commune. On the 25th of May, 1871, he was called out to give spiritual consolation to a young workman about to be shot against the nearest wall. When the abbe told him his fate he fell as if already shot, then striking his hand against his forehead, cried: "Ah I knew it would bring me bad luck" Naturally the abbe was curious to know what and asked the question. After moments hesitation the workman said that he had been de- tailed to put powder and petroleum in Notre Dame, and that it would be found in four different places, naming them. He told the abbe to run and save the building, for the fire was to be set be- tween nine and ten o'clock, and it was then nine. The Abbe Riche did not hesitate. He hurried off to the cathe- dral, running under fire between the two lines, and arrived just as pile of chairs was beginning to burn. With the aid of the suisse he put out the fire, and then found the casks of powder in the places indicated by the workman. As soon as he could leave the abbe went back, find ing his man on the way to the place of execution. He called the commanding officer and told him the story, saying that the Hotel Dieu, with hundreds of sick, was only few yards away, and that the loss of life must have been fear ful but for the fortunate revelation made to him. He demanded the life of his man, and the request was granted. Very few were aware before reading this de- tailed account that the great cathedral had so narrow an escape. I reme mber that there were reports at the time about the discovery of the casks of powder, but the general impression prevailed that they were to be fired by electricity, and that the wire had been accidentally dis covered and cut in time.

A Phenomenon EXnlained.

The sight of 8 swarm of bees suspend ed from the branch of a tree, and so heavy sometimes as to bend it, is sur prising one, and the observer naturally asks how so great weight can be sup ported, without apparent fatigue, by the few scores of bees that are fixed to the inferior surface of the branch. Accord ing to Dr. Bourgeois modern science es. inmates the amount of weight which can be supported by means of vacuum (oi which the sucker on 8 bees foot affords an example) at one kilogramme thirty grammes per square centimeter. Now the sucker of 8 bees foot, magnified six, ty diameters, represents a surface ol more than centimeter. Each bee hay. ing six feet, it will therefore be possible, vigorously, for ten bees to support the weight of one kilogramme. Thus, the phenomenon in question may be ac- counted fnr.

iManageiaent of Banks.

4EE Aal
 If the public at large knew how slight was the knowledge of five directors out of ten of the actual business; and hnan- posed to direct, it would readily be un- derstood why we hear so much of bank losses and bank failures all over the country. How many directors would be able to state correctly the salaries of the employees, or the total running expenses of the banks they represent, if suddenly called upon for such information & And yet this sort of knowledgeise elementary. In many cases a director who is too cu- rious as, regards rdiscolntsy suspended accounts, profits and loss, compromises, old. law suits, etc., is looked upon as med ddling or wasting time which might be better employed. There is ill almost all banks confidential clerk who has much to do with the management of the details of the business sunde othez ghid- ance of the president or cashier, He oc- cupies no particular official position, but becomesef general i'm portaIlee by reason of his great aptitude and intimate fa- miliarty with the affairs of the. bank. He is, ofEcourse, implicitly trusted, and by degrees 'becomes almost necessity to the bank officers. He is always on hand, knows everything, can explain everything and reetify every errsr. In cases of defalcation it will most general ly. be found Chat this trusted individual plays very hfnp pertant part, While more banks are wrecked ;thr incapacity and carelessness than, through bd down right dishonesty on the part of the off cers, and while the very essence of busi- ness is the unlimited oenf5epee reposed in those who occupy positions of trust, ii must nevertheless always be borne in mind that if those who, are appointed tc direct, manage and supervise the chief officers and employees chosen to conduct the affairs of our moneyed institutions fail properly to dischatge their duties, it
 is but natural to expect that things will
 gradually go from bad to worse, witt
 every chance of final crash.
