POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

"Out Of evil. still evolve.h good.
The distress and distrust created by
the wide spread wreck Of savings banks

the department Of savings is concerned,
to the government.
A bill has already been introduced
into Congress whose features are as
follows: Each Office where the post
masters salary is worth $1,000, on APP
plication savings bank shall be estab-
lished. Deposits shall be received at as

The investigation that has been going On
for some months, of pansh aud school board
records under the late regime, throughout the
State, reveals such a mass Of corruption and
villainy, without the slightest regard 10 the
commonest prelenses TO honesty that the only
wonder is tina, any Of the public mon"y at all
was expended for its legitimate purposes. We
have reported, from time TO time rom our
parish exchanges, the results of number of
these investigations by the new police Juries
and school boards 1t was the public school
fund that proved most attractive 10 the oliiclal
REGULATORS. The evidence is patent that tens
of thousands Of dollars of this fund have been
stolen outright by the parish officials having II
in charge, whilst the amount OF work done TO
further the cause OF public education is so
small that it might better not have been done
at all. For example, in the parish OF Avoy~

In furry garment, softly rolled,

And lays him on the icy breast
To take his last and final rest.

A Highly Romantic Story from Jennie
June.

1t is not often that fate blesses man
with such entire completeness as hap
pened IN the case of a New York jour
nallst a few months ago. He was a fine
looking fellow, handsome and distin-
guished, with just thai soupcon of b.
hemianism IN his appearance that takes
with women. On a certain fortunate
morning he was sent to report the open
ing or som ething or other of railroad,
whose President was a man of very
large fortune, and whose wife, much
younger than himself and very beauti-
full, was among the most conspicuous of
the guests. Our journalist, not troubled
with bashfulness, was presented;
naturally, as journalists always do, he
made himself agreeable The lady was
pleased, the attraction, to a certain eN-
tent, was mutual, and by 81 singular
stroke which must have come from the
hand of destiny itself the railroad mag
nate shortly after died, leaving his
young and fair widow to mourn and be
comforted Our journalist thought he
could do no less under the circumstan-
ces than write a letter of coincidence
which was answered by little note in
timating that after the lapse of proper
time the lady would be pleased to have
him call. He did call, more than once
and, fifteen months after the death of
the husband, proposed to the widow,
was accepted, and the two were mar
ried. What is little singular about
the affair is, that he never inquired the
amount of the lady's fortune, and was
considerably astonished on the day of
the wedding to be presented with Sc
curities representing $1,750,00O in value.
This amount the lady desired to endow
him with and make his own by right,
but the gallant young journalist abso
lutely refused to acceptit. He wouldn't
even go shares. He insisted that the
whole should be settled upon herself,
and would consent only to be the dis
burser of the moneys expended for
their joint use and benefit The happy
pair sailed for Europe, and letter re-
ceived from him the other day from
Vevay, in Switzerland, contained the
declaration that he was the "happiest
dog alive" that his wife was the best
and most charming woman in the
world, and Vevay the most enchanting
SPOT in the universe

Uncle Sans Cash Account.
Omaha Herald Oct. Sth

Secretary Sherman asjust issued one
of Uncle Sans balance sheets, and to
prove that the country has advanced in
prosperity he compares the account Of
this year with that Of October 1, 1876.
The public debt, less the cash now in
the Treasury, amounts to $2,051 ,5S7 81,
a decrease of $4O,679, 32O92. The
amount OF currency in the department
on October lst of this year was $14, 206,-
417.2, an increase of nearly two mil
lions during the year One Of the most
important and gratifying items in the
statement IS that concerning the foreign
trade of the United States for the past
twelve months. In 1876, October LIST,
the imports for the year were valued
at S44l 1876, 100, and the exports at
$472, l69, 273. For the year ending last
Monday the imports were worth $465,-
523, 645, and the exports 1928, 1913, 948
These figures show total increase in
the foreign trade of the country of $780,
10000. Surely, times are improving.

UNDER THE ROOF.

In the dim. low attic chamber,
Where the little children play.
Where the childish glee and laughter
Pass the happy hours away,
How we llnger and we listen
Dreamlly the ye-long day
Quaint and curious forms, like visions.
Fit before us to and fro
There are golden curls and dimpIes,
There are faces SCARED with woe:
There are blue eyes. there are brown eyes
Coming from the long ago.
There are wrinkled grandmas trembling
With the weight OF many DAYS;
There are men of stalwart muscle,
Men of stern and earnest gaze;
There are gentle, Joyous children
With their frank and honest ways.
All seem gathered in that chamber
Underneath the rafters old
Faces that long since have faded.
Hands we know long since were cold,
Forms that years ago have mingled
With the village churchyard mould.
one dear face, the light of heaven
fingered round it everywhere
Fhere was heaven in each feature,
Heaven death had made as fair
As the presence of an angel
Sent in answer unto PRAYER
Are they only, these dim figures,
Weird creations of the brain.
Drifting through the mlsts of fancy,
Like the shadows on the plain,
Thrown from waving trees at sunset.
These strange spirits of the rain?

Remarkable Sleep-Walking,

A young lady of Paterson, Is years
old, arose in her sleep at about 4 o'clock
on Wednesday morning, put water
proof over her night-dress, and wan
dered up by the Falls, and thence along
the turnpike towards Little Falls until
she reached the high bridge of the Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western Rail
road By fortunate coincidence, Il
woman living there, who happened to
know the girl, had her attention called
to her from the fact that it was some
what unusual thing to see a young lady
walking along the lonely road at such
an early hour in the morning, with her
hair hanging uncombed down her. back,
her head uncovered, and her white
night dress and bare feet peeping out
from under her waterproof So the
woman went over to see who it was,
and then at once recognized her. She
spoke, but the somnambulist did not
answer. Her eyes were CLASSY and her
face expresslonless, and it could easily
be seen that she was asleep. The woman
then took the girl by the hand to lead
her to her house, which awakened her.
She was very much frightened and be-
wildered at being In such an unexpected
place, but no i'll effects followed, and
she was soon after returned to her fam
lily in Mill street, none the worse for her
ramble.
