Washington Street in London.

In this centennial year, says Boston
paper, when America celebrates her one
hundredth birthday, it is especially
gratifying to Americans to learn, by the
latest files of the London papers, that
Washington's name is much venerated
by at least portion of our British
cousins. The London Times has grace
fully granted the hospitality of it's col
umns to suggestion made to the metro
politan board of works, which is just
now at loss for name for the new and
important thoroughfare between Char
ing Cross and the Victoria embankment.
The author of the suggestion says that
this thoroughfare should be called
Washington street or place, in honor
of one of the best and bravest men that
the English race has ever produced.
Cromwell knocked about kings men
and loyal principles much more ruth
lessly and with far less reason than ever
did George Washington; and now one
of the finest avenues in the West end
of London bears his name. George
Washington, after fair and gallant
fight, headed O nation which in all hu-
man probability could not have become
one-tenth part SO great and prosperous
under the old system; and the result
has led to so entire a change in our
mode of our governing our other colo
MES that the old home has been vastly
strengthened by the event. In blood
and language, in religion and laws, in
wholesome vigor, and in the peaceable-
ness which accompanies true strength
we are one. The street or place near
the ancient sat of our once common
government willrise simultaneously with
the Centennial exhibition at Philadel-
phia, and my proposition is that its
name should be made symbol, how
ever inadequate, of the feelings with
which we regard the transatlantic cele-
bration,"

The Unfortunate Bank.

The committee engaged in investigat-
ing the affairs of the Freedman's bank
called upon the United States secretary
of war a short time since for report of
the transactions of what was known by
the officers of the freedmen's bureau as
the Rost Home colony in Louisiana.
This was plantation originally seized
by the bureau, and after restoration to
the owner rented by the officers of the
bureau and cultivated at public expense
on the plea that it was for the purpose
of giving employment to negroes out of
employment. By some means commits
sary and quartermaster stores were OBJ
tanned upon credit, and in this way the
government has lost about $4,000 or
$40, 1000, as these accounts were never
settled. The crop raised the first year
was estimated to be worth about $780,
600, and there should have been a suffi-
cient surplus to have reimbursed the
government.
Just where all the money went does
not clearly appear. The only proceeds
which can be traced are a matter of
$15, 900, which were deposited in Loui
siana branch of the Freedman's bank by
direction of the former commissioner.
This money was sent to the central
branch in Washington, in accordance
with the orders which drained all the
Southern branches of ready money, and
put it into the hands Of the leeches in
Washington, who were using it for their
own advantage. Soon after this $15,-
600, which had been deposited in Loui-
siana as fund for educational purposes,
reached Washington, the government
bonds, in which it had been invested for
security, were sold, and the money was
loaned out to some favorite in Washing
ton and security taken on some unavail-
able real estate in that city. This Sc
curity is all the colored educational fund
has for the money thus stolen through
a violation of trust.

A Responsible Endorsement.

A money article of the New York E:r-
press contains the following interesting
item
Two remarkable bills of exchange,
which call for comment, made their ap-
pearance in the marketlately. They were
for 80 600 francs each, drawn by the Astor
estate, on Hottinguer, of Paris, and in
dorssl by John Jacob Astor and the
National Bank of Commerce. These bills
were bought by August Belmont & Co.,
and in the course of transmission will
probably go to the Rothschilds of Paris
and receive their Endorsement, and fin
ally be accepted by Hottinguer. The
combined wealth represented by the
names that will be written upon these
bills is something, we believe, without a
precedent. The aggregate wealth Of
the Rothschilds is set down by eminent
French authority as So, 200, 900, 900. The
Astors may be put down for $3.50, ,OOO-,
600; the Bank of Commerce has capi-
tai of $10,000,000, August Belmont is
estimated to be worth $l0,000,000 and
Hottinguer, $25, 900, ,000 This makes a
common wealth of three thousand four
hundred and ninety five millions of dol
lars. We are very strongly of the
opinion that these bills are good.

A Minister'S Story.

The Rev. DIR. Lorimer, of Boston,
tells a story that while in the West he
was invited to perform a marriage cere-
mony, and rode ten or twelve miles
through mud and rain to unite the pair.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the
mother of the bride offered DR.. Lorimer
a filed wine glass, which he declined,
and said: "You ought to be ashamed
of yourself, madam, for offering these
young people that which may ultimately
work their ruin" The woman, placing
her arms a-kimbo, said: "Look h'yar,
Mr.. Preacher, you kim to marry this
var couple. You've married this var
couple. Now git"

The Worried Clam,

A clam while passing through car
penter's shop encountered a hungry
heron, and (for the wind was southerly)
knowing him from the surrounding
handsaws, modestly withdrew into his
shell. The heron commented unfavor-
ably upon his conduct for some time and
proposed a mutual council, but all was
of no avail. Finally thought struck
him, and he denounced the clam before
Heaven as periurer and q horse thief.
The indignant clam thereupon impru.
IDENTIFY abandoned his policy of silence,
but, alas he had hardly opened his
mouth when the heron swallowed him.

ways best.

A Calf Story.

The Waco (Tex.) Examiner says:
The other day, near town, small year
ling calf was grazing by the roadside
when it was approached by mule and
most viciously attacked. The calf offer
ed no resistance at first and endeavored
for some moments to escape, giving ut
terance to the most piteous cries duiing
the time. The mule followed the poor
thing up, kicking and biting it at every
turn, until finally, in sheer desperation,
the calf turned and butted the e emy
squarely in the forehead. The mule
staggered q moment and fell to the
ground, and when the gentlemen who
witnessed the singular occurrence rode
up they found it to be quite dead, while
the cali, standing few yards away, was
apparently unhurt.

Mother.

When she undid her hair at night,
About the time of lying down,
She came and knelt was so small
There in my bed, her curls did fall
All over me, bright gold and brown.
l fell asleep amid her prayers,
Her fair young face (far off it seems),
Her girlish voice, her kisses sweet,
The pstter Of her busy feet,
Passed with me into charming dreams.
And when woke at merry morn,
Through her gold hair I saw the sun
Flame strong, shine glad, and glorify
The great, good world. Oh, meier can I
Forget the words: "My darling one!"
All checkerod years since then have crept
Past her and me, and we have known
Some sorrow and much tempered Joy;
Far into manhood stands her boy,
And her gold hair snow white is blown.
The world has changed by slow degrees;
And as old days recede, slas
So much of trouble hath tho new,
Those rare far joys grow dim seen through
Sad times as through darkened gass.
But just this morning when woke
How lovingly my lips we're kissed
How ohaste and clear the sunlight shonc
On mothers hair, like gold dust sown
Athwart thin clouds of silver mist

What One Can Go Through.

The Worcester Spy tells this extraor-
dinary story: A Taunton man of forty
six has had checkered career. He has
been shipwrecked once, narrowly es'
capped baking in railroad accident, ha
been run away with times innumerable,
was shot in the neck at Gettysburg, had
taste of Libby prison, fell overheard
from a whaler, and, before being picked
up, left two fingers in the mouth of a
shark, was drafted twice, had the right
arm broken in two places during the
New York riot, stood on barrel with a
halter around his neck from sunrise to
sunset; in 1868 was crushed under
falling building during California
earthquake, and was without food or
drink nearly fifty hours, and, when
homeward bound from the mines of the
White Pine region, narrowly escaped
lynching through mistake in person.
Amid all, he preserves his equanimity,
and refuses to believe that luck is
against him,

Lawlessness in Iowa.

Two families returning from church,
about eight miles northwest of Indianola,
became involved in quarrel, and about
twenty shots were interchanged.
George and John Howery, aged respec-
lively nineteen and twenty-one years,
were stabbed and instantly killed.
Their father and James Groom were
fatally stabbed. The attacking party
we're Benjamin and Levi Westfall,
Thomas and Jack Dillerd, Frank Bat
ties and Thomas Flanagan, oil of whom
were armed. There has been feud
between these parties for long time.

A Newspaper Field,

The Nashville american, speaking of
the death of the Atlanta (Ga.) Herald,
says: The HeraId's suspension sup
ports the proposition we haveheretofore
advanced, that to each city of not less
than $4,000 population only one daily
journal can have reasonable hope of re-
munerative existence. One daily to
every 10000 of population is about the
newspaper supporting capacity of the
largest and most prosperous cities. It's
surviving rival had an older existence
and more permanent good will, for pa
pers long established seem to have q
marvellous tenacity of life.

A Fatal Illustration.

In casual conversation at the central
police station in Montreal, Major Voyer
took up loaded revolver, and in ex-
planning to Capt. Larue how New
York policeman shot himself, placed the
muzzle at his side below the heart. He
had no sooner done this than the revol-
yer went off, the ball penetrating through
his bowels and coming out below tho
right lung. He fingered few hours,
when he died.

Corners, in the edge of Ohio" ut
seems that MI. William Rynd, brother
OF DR.. Rynd, OF this city, who dives near
there with his father, had purchased a
wild young colt which no one could
handle. He desired the colt, which was
stout, spirited animal, should be
broken to horseback riding, but the
colt steadily resisted all efforts that
were made to mount him. The country
round about was searched for man
who would dare to ride the colt. None
could be found. At last the father, Mr..
Charles Rynd, who ls seyenty-six years
old, ordered his son to bring him bis
spurs. The old, rusty spurs were
brought out. and amid The protests oi
son and daughters and all who stood by,
the old gentleman mounted the snorting
young steed. Rearing and pitching and
tearing, the colt went around the yard,
while the women cried and begged the
OLD gentleman to dismount and save his
neck. Az every jump the colt made the
spurs were drawn from his side and the
blood followeds In an hour or less the
animal was perfectly quiet and docile
The old gentleman rode him up to the
barn, and, dismounting, remarkedl tina
