To the Editor Of the New York Graphic: The
duty of the hour in these hard times is economy.
Papers tell us So preachers tell us 80. Especi-
ally, economy in living The most virtuous
and useful citizen is he who can publish to the
world the lowest rate of weekly expenses. From
present appearances. the coming man will live
on peanut day There is to be no need for
the raising of prize cattle or premium fruit or
vegetables Economy must prevail, and no one
can afford them. The earth will remain as
fruitful as ever in wheat and corn, melon and
peach, potato and cabbage. Four-fold the
present yield will be raised il necessary; but
then. there is 80 little money to buy with.
There's the rub. The earth will now grow dol
lars and greenbacks. Because these are scarce,
food, or, at least, good, wholesome, nutritious
food must be scarce. Stale eggs are much.
cheaper than fresh eggs. Hence, 1t is more
commendable to live on stale eggs--if you can.
They may not readily assimilate with the stom-
ach. No matter. These are hard times. The
stomach must manage to pull along, and suffer
with the rest. 1--WE all suffer together" Half
q loaf is better than none. It will just keep
you alive, and give you strength to feel and
bear pain. We must live for economy. Luxury
is crime. The aim and end OF living hence
forth is to live as poorly and cheaply as pos.
sible. The raising Of the best wheat, the best
potatoes, the finest apples, the freshest eggs,
the purest milk. the finest oysters, must be dis
couraged. They are expensive. Expensiveness
OF all sorts must be condemned. The earth is

4 Novel Accidental Discovery.

More novelties are the result of accident
than is generally supposed. The origin
of blue-tinted paper came about by a
mere slip of the hand. William East,
an English paper-maker, once upon a
time set his men to work, and went away
on business. While the men were at
dinner, Mrs East accidentally let blue
bag fall into one of the watts of pulp.
Alarmed at the occurrence, she deter
mined to say nothing about it. Great
was the astonishment of the workmen
when they saw the peculiar color of the
paper, and the great anger of Mr. East
whenI he returned and found that thewhole
vat Of pulp had been spoiled. After
giving the paper made from it warehouse
room for four years, Mr.. East sent it up
to his agent in London to be sold "fo1
what it would fetch"
"For what it will fetch ~ said the
agent, misunderstanding the meaning.
"Well, it certainly is novelty, but he
must not expect too much"
So he sold the whole at q considerable
advance upon the market price, and
wrote to the mills for as much more as
he could get The surprise of Mr.. East
may be imagined. He fastened to tell
his wife, who found courage to confess
her share in the fortunate accident and
to claim reward, which she received in
the shape of new cloak. Mr.. East kept
his secret, and for short time supplied
the market with the novel tint, until
the demand far exceeded the supply, and
other makers, discovering the means
used, competed with him.

81 got up and went away from him,
and then somebody killed him." she
gaspingly explained
She seemed hard and cold at first,
and one would have said that she had an
evil face, but the mention of her children
melted her in an instant and set her to
sobbing.. When asked about her two
eldest children, she gave their where
abouts; but when the name of the young
est was mentioned she threw up her
arms and sobbed out:
My baby Oh, my baby Why
don't they let me see him just once
more ?"
They took the little boy from her arms
when they led her away to Jail. He
clung tightly to her neck, his innocent
heart knowing nothing of her awful
crime, and every day since her long
sentence began he has looked into the
faces OF strangers, and tearfully and pitt
fully asked
"Where's mammaP When will man.
ma come homeP"
The two older ones went quietly away
from her, dimly realizing that a happy
home was forever broken up, and that
the whispers of men and women around
them of horrible murder implicated
the mother who had sung them to sleep
and taught them to pray. The baby
clung to her Just the same, aud its name
has only to be mentioned to wiring her
very soul with grief.

A Daring Robbery.

A despatch from Wapakoneta, Ohio,
says A daring robbery, unprecedented
in the history of Auglaize county for
boldness, was committed in this place.
Lewis Myers, the county treasurer, was
going homeward at about ten o'clock, p.
NJ, and just as he got opposite the first
alley east of his residence three men
threw a heavy blanket over his head and
pressed him to the ground. Mr.. Myers
guessed their object instantaneously,
and attempted to throw away his office
keys; but his quick-eyed captors detected
the attempt and prevented it. They
carried him back into the alley, and
guarded him until about eleven o'clock.
Then they carried him bodily to the
court house, unceremoniously throwing
him over the fence in the alley east of
r.. d. Marshall's.
The back door was then broken open,
and the treasurer was carried into the
hall and requested to open the office
door, but he refused, even under the
threat of torture by burning. To show
they were in earnest, q fire was started
in the narrow passageway between the
vaults, and Mr.. Myers was held over it
pantaloons and scorched his feet. After
being nearly suffocated with the smoke,
he unlocked the door and admitted them.
He still refused, however, to open the
safe, protesting that the combination to
unlock the inner doors was unknown to
him, being known only to his son. They
would not accept this, and presenting a
cooked revolver to each temple compelled
him to open the safe.
While two of the robbers were rifing
the safe, third stood guard at the back
hall door, and from certain sounds Mr..
Myers inferred that one was at the front
door. At little after midnight the rob-
bers departed with their booty, except
one who stood over the county treasurer,
revolver in hand, until the three o'clock
train came in. Then he vanished.
At six o'clock Mr.. Myers was discov-
cred by the ianitor, gagged and tightly
bound to chair, where he had suffered
during the long hours of the night.
The loss is between $31, 900 and $32,-
600, wholly in greenbacks and bank
notes. The robbers overlooked in their
haste package of $4,000 in govern
ment bonds belonging to Samuel Bitter,
of the Farmers Bank. 1t was in an en-
velope, and wrapped up in an old piece
of newspaper.
Mr.. Myers hat was found where it
had been dropped in the street. His
watch was found where it was thrown
over the fence The thieves took it
from him, but had the discretion not to

Savings Bank Salaries.

A New York correspondent says: The
whole amount of savings bank deposits
in Gotham is over 5000, 900, 900, and the
total cost of taking care of them is $725,-
900. The salary list is an interesting
study. 1t gives one an idea that the
men who run the savings banks don't do
it out of philanthropy altogether.
There's money in it for most of them,
and quite a good deal for some. One
bank pays it's president a salary of $10,-
600. Another pays n treasurer $12, 900.
A third pays secretary $40, 900. Another
pays $22, 900 to president and secre-
tary. 1t is curious how things are mixed
as to the compensation of the officers. One
bank pays treasurer $12, 900, and gives
only SO, 900 to its president. Another is
run by an actuary and an assistant, who
together get $11, 800. In another there
is neither president, secretary nor
actuary, but comptroller, treasurer and
accountant gather in $4,000 between
them. One bank employs nine book
keepers, and another thirteen. One
keeps an appraiser of real estate at $3,-
600, another keeps one at 5000. A bank
with deposits OF nearly $50, 900, 900 has
an expense account of $93, 900, and one
with deposits of $2,000,000 expends
$50, 600.

A Little Walk To Church.

A good story is told by the Troy
IN. Y.) Press at the expense of Hon.
Neil Gilmour, superintendent of the
State department of public instruction,
who has been visiting his parents in
Scotland. On the first Sunday at home,
his mother, who is nearly eighty years
of age, invited him to attend church
with her. He accepted and proposed to
get carriage, which offer his mother
declined, informing him that she always
walked to church. The dutiful SOD could
do no less than follow the example of his
good mother, and so they started for the
church. After walking what seemed O
reasonable distance and seeing no church,
the uneasy official asked how far the
church might be. and was somewhat
astonished to learn that it was only foul
miles awaC.

long line, then breaking the line, danced
forward, ten or twelve ut time, for a
few steps, bend down their bodies and
spreading out their hands, as the little
shoots of wave run up on the beach.
Then wave after wave rolled in, and then
at the end of the long line ran round,
first a few at time, some falling back
again; then more and more, as the tide
runs up on the shore-side of the reef,
and nothing but small island of coral is
left The band kept up sound like the
roar of the surf; and as the tide rose and
the waves began to meet and battle over
the little island, the dancers threw their
arms over their heads as they met, and
their white tappa-covered heads shook
as they bounded into the air, like the
sprays of the breaking surf The people
sitting round screamed with delight.
The idea of the dance could not have
been more artistically carried out.

but is sold every time"
