THEY seem to have rather loose ways
of doing business in Hartford. Bank of
ficers of the highest respectability make
ducks and brakes of $700,OO0 of their de-
positors' money ; the Town Collector,
also eminently respectable, drops $40, 900
astern of his accounts before the public
take any notice and now that 81 2,000,-
900 deficit is suddenly discovered in one
of the leading insurance companies, there
is an apparent disposition to temper the
wind-not to the shorn, but to the shear
ers. The Hartford Courant reaffirms
that Mr.. Furber owns three-fouIths of the
Charter Oak stock; pays himself salary
of $4,000 has a contract with himself
as financial manager, which was wortf
$426,000 TO him last year and is believ-
ed to have been simultaneously drawing
salaries from three or four other embar
rassed companies. The Crlrant add
that the situation is "far from satisfactor,
to the policy holders" We should sup
pose it would be.

There are twenty-one mutual insurance
companies in New Hampshire, but it is
said that none of them paid expenses last

business there, and seem to have carried

got S544,518 gross premiums and paid

THE recent elections in Charleston city
and county, S. c., to fill the vacancy in
the Legislature created by the expulsion
of the seventeen Republican members
who were sent from that city and county
by fraud, was participated in by the negro
voters quite largely. In one ward, where
the Democrats polled 1859 votes the ne.
groes had deposited 300 of them. In
another ward the negroes voted 176 o.
the 825 ballots cast. In the aggregate
the colored voters, it is said, cast about
the same proportion of the total Demo
cratic vote as their representation on thu
whole list-three out of seventeen. o
course the whole vote cast would be ex
pected to be light, since the Radicals
seeing no chance to commit fraud, IN ad,
no opposition.

affections, enkindles the fires Of her heart,

heart Of the battle, give her a child. q

Keep YOur Agreements

One reason why many people do not
get along in the world is because they
cannot be depended upon. They do not
keep their agreements When they are
weighed in the balance of actual affairs
they are too often found wanting. They
are seldom on time. The workman who
is always on hand at the appointed time
and place, and does his work according
to agreement, is sure to get along. To a
young mechanic, starting in life, the hab-
it OF promptness and punctuality is worth
mere than thousand dollars cash Capri
tal-though a thousand dollars is not to
be despised The trustwoI,hiness of the
faithful workman produces money; but
the untrustw orthiness Of the uniaithiul
one causes him to lose money.
This is an everlasting principle. He
who would be permanently prosperous
must keep his agreements.

Fourteen miles Southeast vr pawlirg
Green, XIV, is a cavern more extraordi>

ul,r height, made almost inaccessible by
vines. brsmbles and densely growing for
est trees. TrammeI's enters brakes
creek just above the strange aperture to
unknown depth and impenetrable dark
ness below. This adytum is ten feet
long and four feet wide, and
the chasm seems to yawn. and its great
mouth is horrible to contemplate. Rude
people in the vicinity call it "Helrs
Hole" or the Indians Pit"
From the measureless abyss there Isl

ders, worn round and smooth as if ground
by friction when upheld by currents of
air. and falling back again and again, lit
ed up and rubbed by other stones, cover
the hillside and have rolled from the
cavern's mouth into the valley below.
People living near by tell that in Fall
and winter the heavy stentorious breath
ings from the cavern are much warmer
than sharp blasts sweeping along the
deep gorge while in Summer the misty
vapor from within is cooler than the ex>
ternal atmosphere This fathomless pit
grows wider in its downward course, and
nothing living or inanimate that has enter

ders had encountered any object within
miles of the entrance the sound produced
would have been surely borne to listeners
above by the strong, steady air-current.
The impression fixed from childhood to
age, that the solid earth must be forever
immovabe as the sun and stars and blue
vault above our heads, is surely shaken
when one stands in the presence of such
demonstrable hollowness and emptiness as
this. Very much the same sensations
are excited when standing at the pits

land and sea and makes men and women
shudder When, not long ago, it was
sought to ascertain the depth, of the

strong cord. the lead went down, down,

weight, when withdrawn, was unsoiled,
and by the moisture on its surface show

very hollowness of life and its evanescent
pleasures are almost illustrated in physi>
