The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1878-09-07

A terrible story of suffering and
fear comes from Round Lake. 1t is
only to be regretted that the name
of the noble man who so heroically
didn't "give up the ship" in spite Of
the very thoughtless and dangerous
conduct of his selfish partner is not
given. The tale is thus graphically
told by the Adrian Times, and it is
to be hoped that the lesson will not
be lost on wives in a like situation.
"a man and wife were i'm a boat on
the lake, when, in changing seats,
the boat tipped. and both were
thrown headlong into the water.
All was confusion for a time, but
soon the man succeeded in gaining a
seat of safety on top of the over
turned boat. The woman, however,
acted badly. She hung to the boat,
her body in the water, and struggled
frantically. Her husband, with
great presence of mind, urged her to
desist, representing the imminent
danger of his again being thrown
into the water, aud perhaps drowned.
But still that foolish woman insisted
on clinging to the boat until she was
rescued. What must have been that
poor mans thoughts as he balanced
himself on the swaying boat, mo-
mentarily expecting to be thrown
in the wet water. 1t was terrible
experience; it is not a fanciful pic
ture; his sufferings were real, for the
occurrence was witnessed by several
of our citizens. Free Press.

All About Heads.

Heads are of different shapes and
sizes. They are full of notions.
Large heads do not always hold the
most. Some persons can tell Just
what person is by the shape of his
head. High heads are the best kind.
Very knowing people are called
long headed. A man that won't
stop for anything or anybody is
called hot headed. If he isn't quite
so bright they call him soft-headed.
If he won't be coaxed or turned they
call him pig-headed. Animals have
large heads. The heads of tools
slant back. Our heads are covered
with hair, except bald heads. There
are barrel heads; heads of sermons
and some ministers used to have
fifteen heads to one sermon; ~heads
of cattle, as the farmer calls his cows
and oxen; pin-heads; head-winds;
drum. heads; cabbage heads; at log
gerheads; come to a head, like a boil
heads of chapters; head him off;
head of the family; and go ahead
but first be sure you are right.

Ny attention has been called since my

cation in the INTELLIGENCE Of the 9th
inst, under the heading OF the Bridge
Question" In said communication was
published a letter that 1 had written to
some friends denying the report that l
had pledged myself, in case OF election, to
favor the construction OF a county bridge
at Mt. De Chantal and at Judge Thomp-
sons. Ny letter was untsirly character.

and designed to deceive, and as emitting
to mention the bridge really st issue. To

meeting which nominated Mr.. Atkinson
for Commissioner. The first three resolu-
tons denounced the Work House project
and the exhorbitAnt salary paid the Super.
intendent Of the County lnirmary, all OF

reads Is follows:
"Rs0tpai. That our candidate for Com

all honest endeavors to defeat the building

WASHINGTON, Pa, September IS
Correspondence Of the lnielltseueer.
The Democracy OF this county held q
grand pow.wow here last night. After
drumming up a procession Of two bands
and about sixty persons, twothirds of
whom were boys, tire-water was fur.
nished to the truly thirsty. This putting
them in proper tune, they marched
through town then; after letting out q few
melancholy walls, they dispersed.
The meeting was held in the Court
House and the crowd was very large, ALL
expecting to hear Gibson, OF Pittsburgh,
speak, but it appears that his name was
| only used rs q draw. Dill, the candidate
for Governor, spoke first. He fondled the
Republicans q good deal; in fact, it was
hard TO distinguish which party he 70.
vored the most. He knew that he was in
a Republican county, so he favored re-
sumption, &c. This wiry politician
thought he would gain votes by saying:
1--WE know that whatever wrongs the Re.
publican party has been guilty OF commit
ting were never done Intentionally. Tag
did not Gdrt 10 do lrTOng." Thus because
they have dared to do right they are to be
turned out OF power.
Hester Clymer spoke next, and to him
was left the task OF winning over the
GreenbackerS 0fcourse they saw through
this thin arrangement at once. He said
that the Democrats would control both
houses OF the next Congress, but the aud
renee thought so much the other way that
they would not cheer him, although he
paused for them TO do 50. He told them
how Democratic economy had decreased
the expenses OF the Government, but he
had moi, time to tell them that it was the
workingmen who suffered, while his sala-
~ continued at the sameamount. Neither
did he say anything about those deficiency
bills which his party were compelled to
pass at the last session OF Congress.
Both Dill and Hoyt have spoken here,
and should Dill lose friends and Hoyt
gain them elsewhere as here, it would be
easy to say who will be u next Govern

quiries in regard to the health Of fhis
place, II there is any yellow fever here
and II the hotels are open for the accom-
mediation Of guests and invalids2 nWilf
you permit me to answer these correspon-
dents through your paper? I reply that
there has not been a case Of yellow fever
in this place this summer, in ydat, tier has
naer Gn any, and that it is the opinion OF
all the residing physicians that 1t can not
prevail herr. The town OF Hot Springs is
situated in agorgeof the Ozark MountaifIss
six hundred feet above the tide water.
Hot Springs Creek rises in the mountains
north OF the town andis fed by pure cold
springs. and runs through the valley in
which the town Is situated. The
surrounding country Is mountainous and
very DOOR, covered with an almost
un6roEen forest Of oak and pine timber
with no underground to fall, decay and.
cause malaria. Therefore do not hesitate
TO say that | regard HotSprings as healthy
as any place in the North, aud that ihva-
lids and guests can come TO the Springs
with perfect safety. Hotel accommodat
tons are ample and excellent. The safest
and best route 10 HotSprtngs Is by way of
St. Louis, thence by the Iron Mountain
R. r. Dy this route travellers will avoid
the yellow fever region OF country east
OF the Mississippi River.

Az extraordinary story Of a savings
hank that was organized and carried on
for the express purpose Of plundermg its
depositors is told by ex,Secretary Hahn of
the defunct Teutonia bank Of New York,
who has turned states evidence. Hahn
was n of the banks original incorpora-
tors, and in 1871 was made secretary, to
systema.i1e the plumber that had been
Suins on from the first. This he did by
buying poor securities, charging them to
the bank at the highest rates and deposit
ing the bonus in a pool, which was swelled
by other Skin games and divided twice q
year. Once the division was anticipated,
Hahn giving his note for $1,000, and tax
ing the money directly out Of the hanks
funds, when tho pool failed to .'pan out"
Hahn doCtored the books to suit himself
and, making q mistake of 500 in bill
once paid him, drew the whole amount
over again, besides the additional sum.

Not content with this exhibit, the Jour
nal goes further, and sets forth the earning
power Of bank capital, in comparison
with other capital, as follows:
.'The average rate Of interest now re-
ceived nv the banks on their security Is .
per cent. Let US now take a supposed
hank, with q capital OF 100000. 1t buys
5 n cent bonds. which are now quoted
AT q n premium. It deposits these
bonds with the Government, and receives

Now let US see what the hank couldmake
by loaniny its capital invested directly. Its
'SionOOO bonds cost it 100000. SlUh,OW
loaned directly at 5 per cent would earn
$3.50.
Now. subtract this $50 from the sl0,-
765 above and We have Sl,2SS; and this Is
the entire profit on circulation.
In this calCultion it is supposed that
every dollar OF the circulation Of the bank
is kept out at interest every day in the
YEAR which is not s~upposable at all.
II National Banks make such large prof

their capital? The Merchants National

Quit the system. The First National Bank
Of Wheeling, with $4,000, quit the syS-

ing with $4,000 capital; quit the system.
The National Bankotw W. Va, of Wheeling,
the only remaining National Bank in that
city, has partially retired from the system.
The Comptroller OF the Currency says
the National banks make less than the old
State Banks did. And 1t is an admitted
fact that the State Bank II Grafton Is
making more money than is the National
Bank Of Kingwood.
