 He ran away in August with $125,- 900 of stolen money; he is on his way back in December without cent, and with prison bars staring him in the face. Angell's is the old story of the trusted officer who, becoming involved in losses and debts through companionship with the dissolute, helped himself to his en- ployers' money and disappeared. Yet he was quickly overtaken, even in far off Portugal, and ere the new ear is far advanced he will be back again, no longer the secretary of heavy corpora
 tion on large salary, but in disgrace and prisoner. The good-sized moral
 of these recurring defalcations is that
 the first downward step is in listening to
 the words of dissolute men. The path
 to destruction is easily trod after this
 start is made.
 In connection with the story that
 Governor Wade Hampton shot and killed
 Colonel James Cameron, brother of
 Simon Cameron of Pennsylvania, at the
 battle of Bull Run after Cameron had
 surrendered, Henry Koener of New
 York, says: "I was member of the
 Seventy-ninth New York regiment, of
 which Colonel Cameron was colonel. I
 was at Bull Run with him. was not
 ten feet away when he fell, and was the
 first to raise h1m up. The enemy was
 three or four hundred yards away, can-
 nonading us, and we could not see them,
 they being screened by the trees and
 bushes. Colonel Cameron fell after two
 or three rounds had been fired at us, and
 long before our regiment was forced to
 surrender"
