After Many Years.

Nearly ten years ago the cashier of the
Merchants Exchange National Bank Of this
city absconded after having robbed the
bank of hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars He was arrested and held to ten
thousand dollars bail, which he forfeited.
Yesterday he was arrested in this city, hay
ing for years been successful in eluding the
vigilance of the police. He has been most
of the time in Montreal and his arrest now
was owing to his betrayal by an acquaint-
ance. According to the defaulter's story his
stolen money did not do him much good.
He left an honorable and rcmunerativc
position, which he might still have flied,
since he possessed the confidence of nll the
officers of the bank. He is now pennilcss,
and has on several occasions since his fight
been compelled to beg for bread. We are
told that 1.-THE way of the transgressor
is hard" and there is ovory reason why
it should be 80. Men who COM
NIT crimes are not generally the sort of
persons who live easy. pleasant and HARM
less lives afterward. In this case the amount
of one hundred and fifty thousand dollars
did not suffice to enable the dishonest
cashier to lay by competence or even to
guard against penury. Certainly his way
has been hard, and if it were not for the
easy lives. handsome establishments and
heavy bank accounts of some life insurance
directors and savings bank trustees we
might believe that NIL transgrossors suffer n
similar penalty.

and yet the money is consumed. lie streets
are left unswept and the garbage rots in the
cutters, but no part of the monthly appro-
priation is suffered to remain in the public
treasury.
We are just now undergoing intense
heat, and only by cleanliness and prudence
in living can the public health be pre-
served. Filthy streets and decaying vege-
table matter are in such season as the
present the inevitable promoters OF dis
case. II any portion of the city should be
stricken by pestilence there would be no
room to question the cause OF the Ca
lamity. It would be due to the neglect
OF the street cleaning authorities. They
are allowed an amount of money amply
sufficient, if wisely and honestly used,
to keep the streets perfectly clean in
fine weather and to promptly remove the
garbage every day as it is placed on the
sidewalks by the residents. They scarcely
ever put broom to the road in some streets,
and in localities where speedy removal
OF the garbage is most necessary the carts
of the bureau are seldom seen over
twice a week. People who are hived in
close, badly ventilated tenement houses,
when they leave their hot rooms inhale the
poisons arising from the decaying vegetable
matter left to rot in the sun for three and
four days without removal. If contagious
disease should break out in the city it
would be due to these causes and the
deaths would lie directly at the door of the
street cleaning authorities, who dishonesty
squander the public money while neglect
ing the work for which it is appropriated.

Listen to tho Mocking Bird.

1t is not so long since all the young
ladies were chanting the above invitation to
the general public. Those who had never
actually heard the bird pictured to them
selves at first very delightful woodland
scene with a sentimental female in the fore
ground and bird singing somewhere in
the backgrounds singing on the tree"
we believe. After while the invitation
became bore. You were asked to listen
to him by small boys and fat old men
who did not in reality care whether you
listened to the bird or not. You may have
been curious at one time to hear him, but
gradually your heart hardened against him,
and at length you would gladly have wruna
his neck. 1t is possible that when Mrs.
Henry went to live in East Twenty-sixth
street the landlord held out as an induce
ment that there was hooking bird across
tho way-Mrs. Pettigrew's knocking bird.
In it's wild state, when it sings on tho tree,
or when trained in purely melodious and
strictly religious ways, it may be tolera-
bic bird but when its rest is disturbed by
tho night-ranging Thomas cat, and it is
stirred to initiate The love songs Of that ser
enading animal, it is rs near total deprav-
ity as o bird can be. Mrs. P.'s hooking
bird behaved itself fairly in the daytime,
but at night it gave oil the symphonies
in the Thomas (caD repertory. This
it varied with lifelike limitations Of
the factory and ferryboat steam whistles.
The whiskered Thomas cat is like the wind
in one respect, that he goeth where he
listeth, and as he is not faithful lover he
serenades many back gardens and basement
windows, but Mrs. Pettigrew's bird al
ways chanted in front of the same
house. That a frantic lady appealed
to the law, that counsel argued loudly
and learnedly is not at all surprising |;
but, although we abhor lenity in such o
case, the sentence of the Court we think
was unduly severe. The bird was con-
demned to be hung Of the back win
dow. We dislike to call Justice Duffy o
cruel Judge, but we think sentence Of
three months at Reformatory for Depraved
Birds would have met the case. Where is

MTha Heat Wave"


New York city the sometimes overpowering
odors from the Newtown Creek manure
works and oil factories fill every building
in the city that is directly to leeward, and
we are made sensible Of the existence of
these nuisance breeding establishments in
An unmistakable manner. The effiuvie are
borne by the wind across the East River and
niay be traced far to the westward by the
delicate sense of smell. In like manner
when volumes Of air become super
heated during prolonged period OF
cloudlessness in the West and Northwest
and over the treeless and sandy plateaus of
Nebraska and Dakota, they move with the
general atmospheric flow over all the dis
tricts eastward of the areas Of such q devel-
opment Now. air when heated expands in
volume and ascends to the levels where it
Is in equilibrium with that of the stratum
it attnins but becoming cooled there it
gradually acquires an increased density and
begins to descend to the surface. In the
meantime, however, it has moved east
ward and forms toward night va
por charged atmospheric mantle over
a region which has been also subjected to
the solar heat. The consequence is that
the radiation of heat from the earth's sur
face in the eastern area is checked; that is
to say, the heat absorbed during the day
cannot find its way by radiation to the
upper air, and must therefore be retained
by the earth or impaired TO the stratum of
air imm ediately above it.
This process continuing for several days
prepares the route for what is called the heat
wave, but which is really but the gradual
accumulation of solar heat from west to east
along zone as wide as, or perhaps wider
than, the area whereon the heating of the air
commenced. This area is undoubtedly that
OF the plains between the lines OF the Lower
Mississippi and Missouri rivers and that of
the Rocky Mountains. The cold wave fol-
lowing the heat represents the gradual sus-
pension of the operation of heating these
western areas, which is brought about by
the movements of baromctric disturbances
that reach the heated centre from the
Pacific Ocean. These develop the day
cloudiness that interrupts the solar heat
rays and reverse, as it were, the relations
of absorption and radiation by reducing
the former. Some of these disturbances OF
low energy are moving now along the zone
of low pressure northward Of latitude
forty degrees. The atmospheric circu-
lation induced by these depressions tends
to dispense the heated air volumes over
their areas OF development, but the hot air
which has accumulated to the eastward has
not yet boon disturbed, hence we suffer
from its influence. The dispersion of the
vaporous covering by thunder storm is
usually followed by general cooling OF the
mir. This we experienced in New York yes
terday for some time during the afternoon
and night, when tho sharp lightning storms
passed over and near the city. The long
list of cases of prostitution published this
morning shows how unprepared the victims
wcro by habits and conditions of life to
Withstand the small increase of two or
three degrees of heat.

ask for registered bonds that means that
they are putting their savings away in
permanent form; to use popular
phrase. they are sailing down their
money" Evidently the number Of this kind
of bondholders is rapidly increasing; and
what is even BETTER it is plain that
good many workingmen are saving
money. That they think well enough of the
governments credit to invest their savings
in its bonds is certainly good thing. 1t
gives them direct interest in good and
economical government. On the whole, is
it not time to stop the foolish cry about the
s'bloated bondholders ?"

From day to day the papers publish sto-
ries OF the difficulties encountered by the
internal revenue officers in collecting the
tax on distilled liquors in various districts
of the South. Tales Of q similar tenor come
from South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and
Tennessee. The men who make "moon-
shine" on tho mountains are surprised III
their lairs by deputy collectors posse, and
a still is destroyed after hand to hand
encounter, from which some Of the officers
and some of the ''moonshiners" generally
carry away an ounce or two OF lead in their
bodies. Furthermore, tho case is compli-
Gated by the State courts occasionally COM
ing to the assistance of the whiskeymen of
the mountains by indicting and holding for
murder any officer who kills a 'smoon-
sinner" The duty of the officers is, there
fore, at present difficult one.
This tendency to resist by force the rev.
enne laws on whiskey is historic. 1t, Of
course, reaches it's most dangerous form in
wild and sparsely settled regions, whose
inhabitants would as soon fight as eat.
1t originated in the mountainous regions Of
Ireland and Scotland in the last century,
and in the former country whiskey which
had 'never been blasted by d gauger's eye"
was doubly dear to the bibulous. First,
because it was whiskey; and, second, be-
cause it gave no monetary comfort to the
enemy England. Many a gauger bit the
dust in those heroic times, and many
mountaineer died in the heather Tor the
sake of his potheen still. There was more
or less of patriotic halo around the
"moonshiner' of that period. The inge-
nuity of quick-witted people was directed
to conveying the product of the illicit stills
to the places where it would do the most
good While instructions were only occa-
sional the war on the gaugers went on
without ceasing. In our own country the
opposition to tax on whiskey produced
in 1894 an insurrectionary state Of affairs in
Western Pennsylvania, which Alexander
Hamilton, then Secretary Of tho Treasury,
characterized as threatening "the founda-
ton of the government and the Union"
Houses were burned, officers tarred and
feathered, men killed, and at one time
on Pittsburg, which narrowly escaped de-
struction at their hands. Washington,
however. sent an army of fifteen thousand
militia from the neighboring States into tho
disaffected district, and the ''war" ended
without blow. There is not much chance
Of the scattered ''moonshiners" Of the South
requiring such Wholesale treatment, but it
is worth noticing that some Of them, such
as Redmond, of South Carolina, are taking
heroic proportions in the eyes Of some of
the inhabitants Of the State. He is hand
some, carries a silvcr-mounted rifle and q
brace of navy revolvers-just the figure for
a Bowery drama or blood-curdling novel;
but it is also said that he is vulgar thief
and general rufiian, which so many of
such heroes" prove to be on close exami-
nation. Instead of talking Of sending
regiment or an army of marshals let tho
government try Moody and Murphy on the
recalcitrant "moonshiners." That would
be something new to the South.
