The damaging charges by Frank Ii.
Brown, late teller of the Springfield Ma
tional Bank, against Albert Brown, the
cashier, are made public. He says that
several thousands of dollars in bonds, for
which the cashier was responsible, have
disappeared from time to time, that the
cashier made false entries in his books TO
have them balance, and that he confessed
to the teller that his personal debts
amounted to $4,000. Last February
however, the cashier managed to raise
money enough to redeem the bonds, and
they were restored to their proper places.
According to the tellers statements, Pres.
Afford has had more or less knowledge
of the cashiers irregularities. Up to May
18th the names of the president and his
son were on notes owned by the bank,
which, with funds in the sons possession
belonging to the bank, amount to over
$50 900. The teller was called before some
OF the stockholders last week, and answer
ed questions in regard to the reports of
irregularities, and after the meeting he
was discharged, being given to under
stand that three of the five directors, in
GLIDING the president, were in favor of his
dismissal. He had previously been
threatened with Imprisonment if he d.
vulged.

The dangerous illness of Fletcher Harp.
or. the last survivor of the four brothers
who founded the great publishing house
in New York, brings into notice again the
distinguishing traits of the world famous
firm. Perhaps no family was ever asso-
ciated more closely or amicably in all the
interests of life than that of the Harpers.
Their fraternal relations ran through their
business for the reason that there was a
remarkable harmony in their business
IDEAS. They were all unusually enterpris.
ing and exact. but none of them more SO
than Fletcher Harper, who originated one
or two of their periodicals and improved
them all. The business ideas that distin-
guished him have been installed in sons
and nephews, and, whatever happens,
the firm will be Harpers still.
Fletcher Harper, senior member of the
firm of Harper Brothers, publishers, died
Tuesday morning OF gastric fever. De-
ceased was in his seventy-second year. and
although retaining his interest in the firm
had not resumed his desk since the death
of his brother John.

Erickson is u city marshal and Woodlef
a gambler in Houston, and their relations,
one being IN enforcer of the law and the
other breaker of it, have not been pleas
ant. The following description is given Of
one of their recent street encounters
Woodief was angry at the marshal for
causing his arrest the day before, and was
just out on bail, when, meeting the object
of his ire on Main street coming toward
him, the gambler drew his five-shooter
and fired, hut missed. Erickson, perceiv-
ing bis danger, drew Il pistol, hut the
weapon caught in his clothing. In the
meantime Woodlief obtained his second
shot, the ball striking Erickson in the
thigh. He fell, but succeeded in drawing
his pistol. The first time the weapon
snapped. For the next few seconds one
shot followed another. Erickson, although
PROSTATE, fired four shots, three of which
took effect in the person of his assaiant.

WEDNESDAY, MAY 80. 1877.
Memorial Day.

There is every indication that in this
state the observance of memorial day will
this year be more general than ever before.
Habit is the great ruler and while those
who served and those who had friends die
in the army would be panied to have rou-
tine succeed feeling they must be glad that
rs the years of the war recede the nation
more and more marks this one day as a
time given to thought of the past.
There is little danger that with the
years of the future this habit will not be-
come more fixed or that those who succeed
the present generation on the stage of life
will not take to themselves the patriotic
associations Of the day.
Twenty years ago there was no lack
among the youth of the country of rever-
ence for those who fought the battles of
the revolution. And when the rebellion
made war imminent the only fear in the
nation was that the spirit of the fathers
was not upon the children. The traditions
of the "Fonrth" had been among men
grown so mixed with oratory and bombast
that their power was an uncertain one
But for all the gesticulation and froth
the general effect of independence Day"
had been to start the Young American off
with an early and so ineradicable love ofhis
big country and with II sort of underlined
desire to emulate the men who founded it,
The Fourth of July was reality to boys
1t educated them, by rather noisy and un-
couth methods indeed, to something off
patriotism Let even the man who thinks
his love of country comes from more rea-
sonable sources look back at his early
"Fourlhs' and he will find he has not for
gotten the impression made.
Decoration day is for the young better
educator than the old cannon and fire
cracker celebration used to be for the boys
alone. 1t takes IL deeper hold and forms
a better and as brave patriotism. 1t has
carried back the heart of the people nearer
to those who died to give us independence
as well us brought it close to those who
died 10 save it, The graves of those who
were in the revolution and in the last war
are remembered with honors that were
not given them before the rebellion.
IT, ,,,l.l 4, l..
rest well assured that its teachings will
not fall UNDECIDED by the children in whom
is the hope for the future of our country.
What they see and hear in their youth will
attend them through life, and time will
only make their feeling for the patriotic
dead more deep by making it in all their
thoughts part of their own memories of
childhood.

The tone of the local press on the De
Kalb massacre is about as bad as bad could
be. Tho Meridian Mercury, for instance,
published in an adjoining county, talks in
this way: april 20, in De Kalb. never
ought to be investigated, and, if wisdom
and craftsmanship prevail, never will be-
On that day the higher law, which ante
dates common law and all other law, GUST
ell them and all their ministers of iurisdc-
ton and for u brief period of time, suhi-
cient to its purpose, held sway. Its judg-
ments were final. No court is competent
to disturb them. Every attempt to review
them will be both futile and mischievous.
Special instructions to grand-jurors are
likely to be UNDECIDED, and, to save an ex-
hibition Of their ilnpotency, had best not

Laws, a Louisiana negro, was murdered
last week. The first report was that the
deed was Il political one, but it is now
said that the murderer was negro para
mour of his wife. Gov. Nichols in strong
and noble contrast to Gov. Stone of Mis-
sissippi at once took measures to find out
the facts and have the law enforced.
President Hayes has put the whole
theory into three words. Government in.
situations ought to be conducted Just as "a
prudent merchant " would conduct them,
with the same economy, the same disci-
pline. the same industry, the same watch
fulness, and the same tenure of office dur
