The guillibillity of some people is beaut-
fully displayed in the career Of the so-called
Cooperative Credit Bank, Of London, which
has recently been compelled to shut up shop
with only lis. lid. in its drawer. For months
the manager of the concern has been adver-
tising in the English papers, inviting de-
posits. and promising interest upon them at
the rate of one and a half per cent per month,
or eighteen per cent per annum. although
everybody who had any knowledge OF the
money market knew perfectly well that the
best obtainable interest consistent with good
security was less than five per cent per an
mum. Evidently. his purpose was to pay the
promised interest out OF the principal, as long
as it lasted, pocketing in the meanwhile a
handsome salary aud then let the concern
collapse. This is just what has happened,
and although the rogue is in the clutches of
the law, his dupes will never get another
penny of wha. lie owes them.

Heryieux, died of broken heart, leaving
behind ber four children, and as there
was property which required TO be legally
settled the Hervieuy family were forced
10 look after Nau. They wrote TO the
various authorities abroad, and soon re-
ceived answers that all that was known
of the gentleman in question was that he
had been convicted of swindling and i'm
prisoned. and had left the country. The
family then took charge of the children.
The war now broke out. and Nau once
more made his appearance in London,
where he pretended to be charged with an
important mission from the government
of Tours. He succeeded 20 well that he
deceived the Charge d'Affaires OF the
Legation of Hayfi, and obtained from
him a passport in the name of
the "Comie de Nau," with which
he Travelled about at the expense OF
ho,ei-keepers and local authorities in
France. What became Of him after the
war Is not known, but in 1873 he was
once more found in the dock of the Paris
tribunal, and sentenced 10 two years inn
prisonment for embezzlement. Having
served his term in Jail, he was ordered by
the Government 10 be expelled from the
country. But whitherf What country
would receive him. He could not return
TO either Belgium, Switzerland. Germany,
Italy or SPAN on account Of his " little
doings" in all these climes. SO he was
forced to select England, as the refuge Of
all people in distress. He is said To be
still on your side of the channel. He now

me from the care Of my children, neither

cording TO the laws of Hayti, white man
cannot be the guardian of a native. The
family council should have obtained the
decision of the Haytien Consul at Paris.

the operations Of the French family coun-

A Miners Luck.

About four years ago an Austrian,
whose name we believe Is John Travis,
bid anieu 10 his native land, cmigrsted 70
America, and finally determined 10 court
the tickle goddess Of fortune in the land
OF gold. He leff wife and family be-
hind, intending 10 return for them a. soon
as circumstances would permit. He fixed
upon Amador County as the scene OF his
toll. Being man industrious and Of
steady habits he experienced little Difficult.
~ In finding employment. He worked
principally In the Oneida mine, and at
the end flour years, by perseverance, and
frugaIity, he had amasscd about 8 800 In
gold. Little writing had passed between
the pair during these years Of separation.
Having accumulated this amount Of
money he determined 10 return home for
mis- family In Delmatia, expecting 70 give
them an agreeable surprise, With the
greater portion Of bis gold sewed up in q
belt which he wore around his waist, he
went to New York, where he took passage
on board q steamer bound for Hamburg,
thinking 10 make the remainder Of the
journey by land. Al length the vessel
reached her destined port, and visions Of
home and reunion with his long lost
friends danced before him. But a cruel
fate had vetoed the realization OF his
dreams Of bliss. On inOoring alongside
OF the wharf, planks were placed from
the vessel 70 the shore To enable the pas
repgers 10 land. All eager 10 press the
soil or the fatherland again, some twenty
or thirty stepped upon the treacherous
plank, wien II gave way, precipitatfng
It's living freight into the water. A scene
ensued that beggars description. Five Of
them persisted before assistance could be
rendered. Travis happened 10 be one OF
the number on the plank when II broke,
but, being an expert swimmer, he struck
out manfully for the landing place. But
the belt of coin around him dragged him
like milestone beneath the wave. He
fought hard 10 save both his life and his
gold. The conviction, however, soon
forced itself upon his mind that he must
part with one or the other. Taking his
band Of wealth from his body he cast 1t
into the sea, and lived to tell his tale.
The water was some four or five fathoms
deep and the bottom muddy. He spent
three days In q diligcnt search for the
buried treasure without success. Sixteen
hundred dollars, representing years OF
toll and self.denial, were gone. Counting
the slender stock OF money which he had
reserved for incidental expenses, he found
that he had just about enough 20 take him
home or bring him back TO California.
Which should he dor To go home with
his tale OF disaster would be worse than
useless. Turning his back upon the
friends he had 30 nearly reached and
whom he longed TO gee, he took a Storage
passage across the Atlantic, made his
way back 10 the Pacific coast and arrived
In this State few weeks ago. We under
