ANOTHER DEFALCATION.

Two collecting lawyers, both members
of fashionable churches, and very promi'
nent in them absconded this week, with
something like quarter of million Of
money belonging to their clients. 1t is the
old story-high living and speculation in
Wall Street. They had the confidence OF
everybody, and they did the business Of
the best houses in the city. But they
would speculate, and they did lose, and Il
flight to Europe was the only way they
settled it, And speaking of iinancia
troubles,
THE EXPLOSION OF THE NATIONAL TRUST
co.
is the last lhunderbolt. That institution
possessed the confidence Of the business
community, and no one supposed it wa
in difficulties. But all ut once rumor!
began to gather about it, an investigation
was ordered, it was reported with am
pie assets but when those assets CAM
to be examined into they were found Il
be of the most flimsy character, and thou
sands upon thousands that long figured Il
good" had no existence ut all. In short
it was another case of frightful misman
agement and worse.

POLITICAL,

Senator Conkling has declared war, and
has locked horns with the president. It is
now Il war to the knife, and knife to the
hilt. There can be no compromise nor
settlement The president has determined
! upon the removal of the officials 1T New
! York, for the reason that he wants men in
office with whom he can work in the drec-
ton of reform, and for the reason that the
reforms already instituted were not rs he
claims carried out in good faith. 1t is true
that several hundred employees of the Gus
tom house were removed by Collector
Arthur, in accordance with the orders of
the secretary of the treasury. But it is
claimed that the men intended to be re-
moved were the ones retained. That is
the political strikers and the ward poiti
clans were kept, and the really effective
workers who were without political in
fluence were dismissed. Senator Conkling
on the other hand claims the right to con
troll the patronage himself and denies the
right of the president TO NEEDLE with it
The city is divided on the question. The
active politicians 81 IG with COnkIing, ant

careful in Disgusting the question and arc

the people will have to settle it. 1t is ;

is every school day to the child that is
now sowing the seeds of that knowledge,
which will blossom and ripen in the after
years of his life.
We close this article by reminding
parents that they err in not giving
teachers that firm, cordial, moral sup
port they need and deserve. Teachers,
no matter who or what they are, by vir-
tue of their position and relation to
your children, are entitled to your es-
TEEN, advice and assistance in their
work. 1t requires more tact and wisdom
to govern and teach school. than most
of us possess, and unless teachers are
assisted in maintaining discipline, by
parents, their task is hard, and their sue
cess doubtful.
When parents are led to see that theil
neglect and indifference in regard to the
education of their children is contribute
to the bad character of many schools, anC
that they are responsible because thei
children are making little or no progress
they should awake to sense of duty
and act as sensibly in this impOrtan
matter, as they do in regard to the tri
vial affairs of life.

WELL DONE EDMUNDs I

Vermont, one of the smallest and least
important states in the Union has al
WAYS been fortunate in men, and now
she has the honor of having furnished
a statesman who lad sagacity and abili-
ty sufficient for the successful solving
of one the most difficult political prob
lens that ever arose in this nation.
While others would resort to ex-
IRENE measures, Mr.. Edmunds sought a
plan. for the settlement of the vexed
presidential question, that commended
itself to the best elements of both par
ties, and he had courage to press and
advocate his measure to q successful
termination.
He is the accredited author of the
Electoral Bill, and the country is In
debted to him more than any other man
ties test 'A tahag cGssssssful termination of con
disrupt the nation. Mr.. Edmunds va va
sagacious enough to see that an intel
ligent tribunal would not so constru
law, and could not so pervert justice, a
to give the election to Mr.. Tilden. Re
publicans ought to remember the spunk
senator from Vermont, who led theI
from doubtful victory to a gloriou
triumph, and VermOnters should accOr
all honor to Geo. I. Edmunds.

The London Echo predicts that the
decision of the Electoral Commission in
Washington will be accepted as final By
both parties. 1t says the Americans
carry their love of the laws to a point
of obedience which Englishmen do not
understand; "There is strength in the
moderation of the American character
which we only read of when it is at its
highest tension under military pressure
or great POLITICAL o1oitoment, do i'll u

victory could so easily forget all they

DO WE NEED LIQUOR AGENTS 2

Some very good temnArA"~~=..-
opposed to the appointment OF town
liquor-agents, on the ground that it is
very easy to obtain liquors of unauthor-
lzed liquor sellers, while others have
become disguised with certain agents
who have sold liquor unlawfully, and
so they are opposed to the appointment
of others. 1t is true that liquor can
often be obtained of the common rum
seller, but it is equally true that no
person can buy liquor of any body ex-
cept an agent without becoming law
L---l--- h;raoAlf
An eminent authority on morals has
laid down the maxim, that we should
not sin that grace may abound, and
any temperance man who advocates OF
practices the violation of law, makes a
sad mistake if he thinks thereby to ben
eft the cause of temperance.
There nnght 20 be In every town some
honest, temperance man who will act as
agent, and lawfully dispose of such liz
uors as the people need, and we advocate
the appointment of such agents.
The present Commissioner. DR.. ]. f
Skinner has requested the select-meI
of the several towns 10 select suitable
person for agent, but the majority 0
the towns have nnt ~--Pffou WIN tn'
request, and it is impossible to lawful,
obtain liquors in many places. w
hope this matter will be thoroughly
ventilated, and such action will be take
as will result in the appointment O
agents.
The only wise course to follow, is t
obey the laws. The people shoul
choose good Commissioner, and aid hir
in his duties.

SETTLED AT LAST.

After bitter contest of six months
the presidential question is settled, the
High Commission and Congress having
decided that Gov. R. B. Hayes was
chosen president on the 9TH Of Novem-
Der last. The result Of the election was
painfully close, and though Gov. Hayes
is the successful man, some men in
both parties will claim that Tildcn re-
ceived the election.
We have been Of the opinion, from the
start, that a perfectly fair election in all
the States would have given Hayes so
large a majority that there would have
been no dispute; but the wrong has at
length been overcome in peaceable
manner, and the great majority of the
people rejoice in the result.
The final decision was reached early
Friday morning. after the Senate and
House had been in session through the
day and night. There was great ago

6libusters, but the patriotic members

The Muggins Family.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.

Sylvester Muggins and family hsv
just left for Yeurupp, in the Cunard
Line. The recent rise in cheese so
inflated Muggins and biz pocketbook
that it wus wuss than madness to
stay on this side of the Atlantik osh.
IN emmy longer. He took all biz
live traps with him, which consisted
ov biz only wife, two dauters, biz on
ly son Ruben, and sore-eyed lap.
dog, bought for the trip. They TUX
fustclass chance on the steamer,
800 in gold each, lapdog thrown in.
He will make the tower ov Yeurupp,
so he said before be started, and see
Naples, if it kills him and the rest ov
the family. Sylvester Muggins, and
family have stuck to the cheeze bizzi.
ness for 81 years, and hav never been
from home before, but having studdid
the glide books very cluss lately, they
kno more about Yeurupp, than they
do about their natiff land. The two
dauters will come bak 3 years from
now and hav Is nu silk dresses each,
and talk a few words of French, and
Jerman, and the whole family will
hav forgot their nabors, and almost
their natiff tuonge. Ruben Muggins,
the son, wont kno mulch ov emmy
thing, but this waz alwuss natral TO
him. Old Muggins himself, don't ex-
pect to polish mulch, he liz too CHEEKY.
The old woman will make hash of
things awfully when she gifts back;
she will tell her Majors all about the
leaning tower ov Copenhagen, the
Pantheon of Paris, and the bridge of
signs at Dublin, and every now and
then will risk French, or Jerman
phraze, that will be decidedly CHEEKY
The Muggins never ought to have
gone to Yeurupp at all, they were
industrious, and respektabel enuff at
home, in the cheeze bizznes; they will
cum bak, simply disgusting.

The Tuberose.

At the present day fashionable
bouquet or basket of flowers Is hard
ly thought to be complete unless it
contains one or more of these de-
lightfully fragrant flowers, and yet
comparatively few seem to meet
with success 10 the culture of this
much admired favorlte. The culture
is not so difficult if conducted proper.
ly.
In the first place, the condition of
the bulb is TO be looked after. In
selecting the bulb be sure to get
those that have green centers or
hearts, for where the heart or flower
germ is deoayed, the bulb hardly
ever blooms. The bulbs should
never be planted in the open ground
sooner than June /, as the ground
does not get sufficiently warm be-
fore that date. When they are plac-
ed in the open ground too early, the
flower germ 10 very apt to decay .and
it is often the whole bulb will rot if
placed in the ground before the
weather is warm.
1t does not seem to be generally
understood that the bulb must DO
two, and sometimes three years of
age before il will bloom. Asa gen.
eral rule they bloom the second
year. The bulb that blooms onoe
never blooms the second time, but
the young bulbs which are found
clinging to the old one will bloom as
coon as they have acquired the prop
or age and size.
