Saturday, September 18th, 1877. !

We rejoice to see The not ice of a third
di vidend to be paid on Savings Bank de.
posts. This will nike 60 per cent, re.
cajved by depoSitors of over S.. Those
who had less than S. in the Bank were
oil paid off at once. OF this class there
were 800 claims. representing deposits to
the amount OF 1892 So. The other depo
sitOrs numbering 1919 in Nay 1876, re-.
presenting S~49.4l7.Ol, but rrduc ed TO
892 in December 1876, representing
$50. 473.7O have already received two
fif5hs OF their deposits, aud one fifth moro
will now be paid. They are, after this
payment, still to receive 40 per cent. of
their deposits. to meet which theIs will be
required $40, 766, besldt about Si,797 Tbe
whole present liabilities Of The Savings
Bank will amount, therefore, after this third
payment, to $2I,563. There is due
to it up to date the sum Of about
$4,000, besides interest. A part Of
this, about one fifth, must be considered
lost, or at LEAST not oblainablr for the pre-
sent. The balance OF good outstandings
amounts to about $50, 600. Leaving, then.
q wide margin for bad debts, there is still
enough to render it highly probable that
every one who has money in the Savings
Bank will receive TIE m40}e Of it. Such il
at least the opinion Of many wIo seem to
US well qua'if9l to Judge.
When this Bank first came under Iioli.
dalton, there Were Of course tho usual
people whose black clcu Is are all black,
without any '%'sllver Ii&il3' at all, who pro-
phesied that no DO ~ would get anything
"no not a%sti'cr." These pcotle hare been
mistaken already. lhare was also a small
number of sangnino people, ourselves
among them, who believed tat every one
would get all that was due him. So We
still believe. We may Be mistaken. But
at eli events let the Cepositors hope, as
no manner of good can cone Of /" putting
oat trouble. to interest,"" Sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof, =" sud the
All Wise One.
The Savings Bank is in the hands of
well chosen commissioners, Who possess
the c"nfleucs OF this community, and
WAC. if any man can d. it, will see that
no one loss finally. Il is. u~nhappily, not
even in their power to rsatore the lost
confidence, lost SO completely that we do
not believe q Savings B1uk could be set
on foot hers again in our generation, uu-
less it were based on some tangible secu-
rlty. 1t such an institution could again
be established, resting on tbs security of
the Government, as is the case in some
other countries, it would be a loon to
many OF our poor, who now put their
money iuto holes under or above ground,
and often have it stolen, or else get rid of
1t In a way even Sursr and not more
satisfactory. viz. by snt-usting it to per-
sons who are perfectly unreliable, and who
simply spend it on themselves, with no
means of paying it back.

A C0ssack and His Horse.

Many stories are told of the cleverness
of the Cossacks in obtaining what they
needfor themselves or horses, and all tend
to show that their morality is of diff
ferent type to that of European civiliza-
ton generally. Some of the stories may
possibly have been invented, but they
show the general tone of feeling, and
what is expected from these quaint,
reckless, merry troops. Passing through
the streets of Galatz, the thin, weary
looking horse of Cossack fell suddenly,
and lay apparently lifeless' on the
ground. Its master was moved even to
tears, and bewailed the unhappy fate
which had not only deprived him OF a
favorite, but left him horseless just at
the most interesting moment OF the war.
A crowd gathered around, and in it were
men whose kind hearts would not suffer
them to leave the poor man without
some practical expression of their pity.
A subscription was made, aud the man,
taking the saddle from the ifeless AMI
NAL, went on his way with dried tears,
for he had actually wept. AS the crowd
were bending over the little horse IN
pure sympathy, whistle was heard at
the other end of the street. The horse
sprang to his feet, and with joyful
neigh Joined his master, Whose trick Yves
much admired, even by those who snf'
fered by H.

Drowned in the Surf.

Moore Beatty, wealthy builder OF
Philadelphia, was drowned at Atlantic
City while attempting to rescue Mrs.
Matilda Phillips, OF New York city, who
had gotten beyond her depth. Just be-
fore the accident Mr.. Beatty, with his
wife and little daughter, were sitting in
the Surf House watching the bathers.
Suddenly Mrs. Beatty exclaimed: 81
believe that woman is drowning" point
ing toward Mrs. Phillips, who was some
distance beyond the other bathers.
Answering: CT belieye she is" and
throwing off his coat and boots, Mr..
Beatty plunged into the water and swan
out to her. He got hold of her and made
desperate attempt to bring her to
shore, but the drowning woman seized
his legs and dragged him under. By
this time large crowd had collected on
the beach and boats put out to their
assistance. The two did not sink, but
were hauled on board one of the boats.
At first it was thought life was extinct,
but when the boat reached the shore
both began to gasp. A physician was

Diamonds In Brazil.

The operation of working for these
precious gems is very simple one. The
alluvia soil Cthe cascalhoa) is dug up
from the bed of the river and removed to
convenient spot on the banks for work
ing. The process is as follows: A rancho
is erected about hundred feet long, and
half that distance in width down the
middle of the area is conveyed canal
covered with earth; on the other side OF
the area flooring of planks about six
teen feet in length, extending the whole
length of the shed, and to which an in
clined direction is given; this flooring is
divided into troughs, into which is
thrown portion of cascalhoa; the water
is then let in, and the earth raked until
the water becomes clear; the earthly
particles having been washed away, the
gravel is raked up to the end of the
trough; the largest stones are thrown
out, and afterward the smaller ones; the
whole is then examined with great care
for diamonds. When negro finds one,
he claps his hands, stands in an erect
posture, holding the diamond between
his fore-fnger and thumb; it is received
by one of the overseers posted on lofty
seats, at equal distances, along the line
of the work. On the conclusion of the
work, the diamonds found during the
day are weighed and registered by the
overseer en- Chef If a negro has good
fortune to find stone weighing upwards
of seventeen carats, he is Immediately
manumitted and for smaller stones pro-
portionate premiums are given.
