Old Time Detectives,

A New York paper speaking Of the
ineficiency and corruption Of the detec-
tives of the present time relates this
mecdote of a detective of the last
generation:
One of. our banks kept losing money,
only in small sums, yet the loss was
constant and mysterious. Acelebrnted
detective was called in. "Let every
body leave the directors room,' he
said. "Send in everybody, one by one,
who has had chance to steal" So
the president, the cashier, the tellers,
the book keepers and clerks had pri-
vate interview with the detective.
Every one in the bank knew the pur-
pose of the. visit, and all but one we're
slightly nervous and uncomfortable un-
der the. searching questions of the
chief, The last who entered was
nephew of the president. He walked
in cool, unembarrassed and Indifferent,
and with an air that said proceed.
lie was dismissed as well as the rest.
The detective said not a word, left the
bank, and in one week returned. He
had been shadowhg the presidents
nephew. In clear. fair. hand, was
written out the whereabouts of the
young man for the past six days, the
company he kept, what he drank, the
hours he spent on the road, his night
orgies, and all his movements by night

nephew was thethief That his health
was not good, that he was travelling in
Europe, and that his place in the
bark was tilled by another, was. well
known. The bank was saved from
robbery, the family from dishonor, the
detective commended for his skill and
prudence, and all the happier for a
check of $1,000 -

A MYSTERY IN MNINE.-A large
mound stands near the Maine Central
track, about a mile from the village of
Cumberland Centre, and in plain sight
from the road. Mr.. Sweat, track
man, has several times lately seen two
men standing near the mound and
pointing toward it. Last Tuesday
morning the mound was discovered to
have been disturbed. 1t had been dug
into in a slanting direction five feet and
then down five feet. The prints of a
box were plainly discernable, two and
half feet long by one and a quarter
feet broad. Mr.. Sweat's description of
one of the men answers to a man named
Elisha Philips, aged about seventy
years, who is a native Of the village,
and was convicted twenty or twenty
five years ago in Massachusetts for rob
bing a Boston bank. At the time he
pretended to be able to point out where
the treasure was hid to the officers, but
ran away from them and was afterwards
rocapturcd. His term of imprison-
ment must have expired not very long
ago, and the villagers think he has re
turned for the bank treasure.

Of the debate in the Senate on Pinchback's

ism of this country. Though the session

aciens ability and energy to warrant

lse for further occupying the short time Of

The FRENCH SENATE.-A new bill for the
organization of Senate has been introduced
by the deputies of the Centre, which may be
accepted by the majority. 1t provides for the
selection of seventy Of the Senators by the
Assembly, who shall be irrenovable, leaving
two hundred and twenty-five to be elected by
the Councils General, the municipal coun-
ellis and councils of the ACCOMPLISHMENTS,
one-third of the latter to be replaced every
three years. This bill is sufficiently liberal to
merit the approval of the Left, and at the
same time offers guarantees to the conserva-
tives. The government is evidently willing to
accept it as q compromise measure and has
already abandoned all claim to the right Of ap-
pointing any portion of the Senate. BY the aid of
this measure the Republic might be definitely
established, and if the republicans are we'll
advised they will accept measure that will
place the control Of affairs almost wholly in
their hands. BY the time the Scptennate
comes to q natural end France would be bet
ter prepared to carry out the republican pro-
gramme to its logical conclusion.

prefer that nothing be done at present. If the

repeated within two or three years, and the
residents would be subjected to the annoy.

The announcement that Bismarck will take
six months vacation at the request of the
Emperor, although it may prove erroneous,
is given on good authority. Some days since
the Cologne Gazette reported rumor that the
great Chancellor would retire definitely from
public life on his sixtieth birthday, which
occurs the 1st of next month. That report
had in some degree the appearance Of coming
from Bismarck himself. It looked like
story set afoat in the press
by the agency of the Prince, who either
intended to retire in reality or to make
people believe that such was his intention.
Few will believe that man of his temper
would not personally rather die in harness
than give way in the midst Of great conflict
with the only Power that remains to dispute
in Germany the sovereignty, in the service Of
which he fights. In the midst of the greatest
labor of craftsmanship that this century has
seen undertaken in Europe-the political Or
ganization of Germany-and having in the
conflicts it involved overcome the centrifugal
tendencies kept up by the smaller sovereignties
he has crushed out, and having overthrown all
foreign opposition, it is incredible that the
one incomparably great man Of our time
would willingly yield the field to the opposi-
ton of the old nobility and its stanch ally,
the Church of Rome. 1t is more probable
that the Gaseae's rumor was put out to give
shape in the public mind to coming event,
seen to be inevitable to make appear as the
result Of his own volition retirement which,
though put in the shape of a vacation forced
upon the faithful scrvitor by his Sovereign, Is
none the less an expression Of the success of
the cabals that the great Minister combats in
Prussia and Germany. No fertilization, the
soldiers say, is stronger than its weakest point,
and an analogous formula applies in politics
Bismarck's great combinations all had their
weak point, which was the Emperor Of Ger
many. 1t was not only necessary for the
Chancellor to do great things he had also to
make the necessity and the dynastic safety of
these things apparent to the small soul Of his
Sovereign, and in this labor his persistent
spirit has at last either suffered the eclipse Of
his own disgust Or of the Junker and priestly
