ENGLAND.
Her Enormous weaIet

tJ.WForney's London Letter to Philadelphia Press
We hear mitch OF her losses by un-
fortunate hazards in America, but not
much of her gains. Nearly three years
ago, May, 1875, procured and printed
a list of the deposits in the public banks
of London at midsummer, 1874. Most
of this treasure was not then, and, of
course, is not now Qor the times are just
as gloomy as they were in 1879, draw
ing more than 2 per cent. The Bank of
England is not included il the list, in
which the private deposits are the bal
ances of the bankers; nor are the heavy
deposits of the Indian, Australian, and
Canadian banks nor is there any return
of the immense boards in the hands of
the thirty one private bankers-any one
of whom has more money on hand than
any one of the public banks named. I
now submit the list of the public banks
of London, with the money in their
vaults June 30 1874;

Remarkable Phenomenon.

About twelve years ago Mrs. Weis, an
es5imable lady aged about so, died at
her home near this city, and her remains
were inferred on the farm of relative,
Mr. Jacob Kepf, about two aud half
miles north of Fort Wayne. AS the
farm was about to pass out of the hands
of the family, the body was yesterday
disinterred for the purpose of being re-
moved to Underwood Cemetery The
coffin, which had been wasting in damp
place, was found to be well preserved.
When opened the remains presented a
most striking appearance. The feat
ures were unchanged, having altered in
no respect since death. The body was
completely petrifed. every portion of 1t
being as hard as a rock. When struck
with the hand the resulting sound was
as loud as If stone wall had been bit.
Mrs. w. was very large woman in her
lifetime, and when she died weighed
about 200 pounds. The weight of the
body yesterday was SO great that it taxed
to the utmost the strength of six large
men to move it. The lines of the face
were hardened, and the entire body was
as rigid as bronze statue. The re-
mains were complete, with the excep-
ton of the feet, which were gone, there
being only two small bones left, which
were detached from the ankles. The
body was brought to this city yesterday
and reinterred in Underwood Cemetery.
Mrs. Weis was the mother-in-law OF

Killed With a Baseball Bat.

Kent McLin, young son OF s. B.
McLin, formerly of Florida, died in this
place on Sunday night from the effects of
injuries received during the game of
base bail on Friday afternoon. A num-
Der of boys were playing game of base
bali, and young McLin and another
young man named Dudley were on the
same side McLin claimed that it was
his turn to go to the bat, and Dudley
said il was his, and walked up to McLin
and took the bat from him. McLin be-
came angry and struck Dudley in the
stomach with his fist Dudley jumped
back, and seeing McLin still approach
ing him, as if to strike again. he com
menced waving the bat rapidly in front
of his body and walking backward. Nc
Lin continued to approach. trying to rur
in near enough to strike, holding hi.
head forward and down. In til:
position he ran up too near to Dudley
and the bat struck him on the temple

Bismarck Sued for Libel.

Few public men have more determined
enemies than the iron-and blood Chan
cellor of Germany. A few months ago
one of his stanchest political allies,
Baron Diest, turned against him, and
accused him of having very questionable
dealings with certain financiers Failing
to slbstantiate his charges in low court
the Baron was imprisoned; but it was
not long before he reiterated his accusa-
tons In pamphlet, with evidence which
had not been produced at the trial. On
an appeal to higher court the public
prosecutor read, In confirmation of the
indictment, a letter which he said had
emanated from very high source, and
In which various assertions of the ac-
oused were denounced as Infamous lies.
The Baron, incensed q. having his honor
impugned by a person whose name the
prosecutor refused to give, although it
could be no other thar the Chancellor.
arraigned Bismarck for libel.

Competitive Examinations Condemned.

Above all things, let my imaginary
pupil have preserved the freshness and
vigor of youth in his mind as well as his
body. The educational abomination of
desolatioh of the present day is the
stimulation of young people to work at
high pressure by incessant competitive
examinations. Some wise man (who
probably was not an early riser) has said
of early risers in general, that they are
conceited all the forenoon and stupid all
the afternoon. Now, whether this is
trtie Of eafly fisefs ia the common ac-
ceptation of the VOID or not, L will not
pretend to say; but it is too often true of
the unhappy children who are forced to
rise too early in their classes. They are
conceited all the forenoon of life, and
stupid all it's afternoon. The vigor and
freshness, which shoald haze been
stored up for the purposes of the hard
struggle for existence in practical life,
have been washed out of them by pre-
cocious mental debauchery-by book
glutidny and Lesson bibbins Their
faculties are worn out by the strain put
upon their callow brains, and they are
demoralized by worthless childish tri-
umphs befofG tie teal work OF life be-
gins. [ have no compassion for sloGh,
but youth has more need fer intellectual
rest than age; and the cheerfulness, the
tenacity of purpose, the power of work
which make many a successful man what
he is, must dfteh be placed to she credit,
not of his hours of industry, but to that
of his hours of idleness, in boyhood.
Even the hardest worker of us all, il ne
has to deal with anything above mere
details, will do we'll, now and again, to
let his brain lie fallow for q space. The
next crop Of thought will certainly be
all the fuller iii the ear and the weeds
fewer. HUXLEY, in Popular
Science Monthly for March.

In round numbers, adding the esti-
mated funds in private banks, it is safe
to say that there are to-day $500, 900, 900
($I, 500. 600, ,000D on deposit in London
in these receptacles alone, drawing very
small interest, which, with better times
and honest dealing, might be attracted
to the United States, where all sides
agree there is more stability in the Gov
ernment and fairer prospects for invest
ment.
Another instance: A few evenings ago
[ Was invited by "the President and
Council of the Statistical Society" to
hear Robert Griffin read a paper on the
"Recent Accumulation of Capital In the
United Kingdom" William Shaw Le-
feyre, M. P, in the chair. A number
of persons took part IN the discussion
after the lecture, which was very able
A few of the facts may serve to strength
en- my position:
1t appeared that the growth of those accu-
mutations had been very rapid. The income
tax returns showed that the gross income
assessed in Great Britain from ELS, GOO 900 at
the beginning Of the gentury to 4130, 000 900 in
1915; G251, ,000. .0G0 In 1S45 aud E262. .000 600 in
1858; and then, in the United Kingdom, from
S50s, 000.D DGH in 1855 to 1896, 000 900 in 1865,
and e571, 900, 000 in 1875. II the capital of mat
portion of the income deriFed s:ch capital had
OILY progressed at the same rate, thS annual
increase of capital all through, and especially
of recent years, must have been enormous.
The increase in the income assessed between
1S65and 1875 amounted to e175, ZOO, 900, which
equal to IA per cent. of the income assessed
in 1865. Leaving out altogether the capital
not yielding income, a similar increase OF cEpi-
tal; assuming the present to be what he had
stated, woulG give rs from 1865 total capital
of about e5, 200, 900, 00G, on vhich the increase
at A per cent. would be 92, ,2Z6, 09O 900; or, in
round figures, 9230, 600, 900 per annunl. Tie
foreign investments, though they were very
large In the years before 1875, were by no
means the chief part of the national accumula-
tiUns., Our mait savings were at home. Be
fore Tie fiation sgqid be said to be living OH its
capital, it must be Showt1 that not only was
capital being called in from abroad, bit that
more was called in than was being simultan-
eously invested at home. He had not seen this
point considered by any of those who had made
suggestions that the nation was living on its
capital,

THE LAND OF LIBERTY.

thor, after travelling in Europe, - Do you hnda
untry better than America ;''1
We wander far o'sr land and sea,
We seek the old and new,
We try the lowly aud The great,
The many and the few;
Ger ststes at hand and realms remote,
With curious quest we roam,
But find the fSfrezt spot on earth
Just in our native home.
We hold communion, high and sweet,
With men in ancient lore
By day, by night, with reverent eyes,
Ger volumes old we pore;
But Rome, and Greece, and Orient lands
And heroes far away.
Great i'll their time, still lack the charm
That lights our own to-day.
We seek for landscapes fair and grand,
Seen through sweet summer haze,
Helvetia's mountains, piled with SHOW,
Italia's sunset rays;
And lake, and stream, and crag, and dell,
And new and fairer flowers;
We own them rich and fair but not
More grand, more fair than ours
With solemn air we tread, where trod
The feet of ancient men,
And fill old palaces and courts
With echoing sounds again.
Temple and forum, bath and arch,
Unearthed in glory stand,
These with admiring gaze we view,
But crave our native land.
We hear with joy the golden speech
OF men of high repown,
We sec with praise the jewelsd wealth
OF scepter, mace and crown
Bu, dearer far the golden words
That made people free;
And crown and scepter pale before
A 1ation's liberty.
o land where saint and pilgrim come,
With loftiest purpose fraught,
Nurtured in hardship, toll and faith,
o land, divinely taught:
As streams the light from headland tower.
Guide over the stormy sea,
So hope, to all the oppressed, beams forth,
Dear native land, from thee.

A Deputy Sheriff,S Lick,

John Conners, Deputy Sheriff of ST.
Clair county, Missouri, was on his way
week ago from st. Clair county to
Jefferson City, conveying to the peni-
tentiary prisoner named Jones, and at
one of the small stations thirty or forty
miles from ST. Louis, on the Missouri
Pacific road, the prisoner got away
Corners was dumbfodhded, and got off
the train and plunged out wildly IN tie
dark, not knowing just why, but anxious
to do something. He wandered out into
the country, until, tired and wet, he
reached cabin, when he concluded to
stop and learn his whereabouts. He
knocked vigorously at the door.
"Who's dar?" inquired, excited1y, a
voice within.
Mr.. CUnners explained his mission
and his situation.
We'll, you jes' can't come in heah |
My ole mans away, an Ise all by my
self. Use feared to let yer in heah, fur
shuah p
The Deputy Sheriff pleaded manfully
though. and the colored woman in the
cabin finally relented and let him in. He
took seat, and, tired as he was, soon
fell half as1eep. The old negress went
out, and he dozed alone, when there
came laundering knock at the door.
Conners started up and shouted, "Come
in!"
The door opened and q man entered.
He stared ct Conners and Corners stared
at him. Then the visitor gasped OUT
"H-h-ow did you come here ?''
The man was Jones, the escaped pris-
oner By one of the most remarkable
condolences on record he had, after es-
Gaping, walked INTO the very jaws of
danger again. Not one time in thou
sand could an officer have been 30 lucky
as Corners. He seized the prisoner with
yell aid hunE, on to him. Twenty
four hours later Jones was in the pehi-
tentiary.

CONCLUSION. ".s
Your committee feel assured that no
language, by way of comment, would
add force to the simple statement OF
facts attending this era of revelry,
embracing pecuation, ombezzlcments
and robbcries of q, character hitherto
unknown in South Carolina. Tho
perpetrators are covered with infamy
and disgrace, and should be pursued
during tlioir natural lives with tho
sword of justice hanging by thread
over their heads.
But in justice TO tho honest taxpay-
ers of the State, what can be said to
relieve those mel chants and dealers
who participated in their profits aris~
ing from such stupendous frauds?--
The testimony submitted shows that
these persons other were reckless of
tho interests of the people Of the State
or winl1cd at, connivod at or colluded
with tho robbers to fleece the people
a collusion as humiliating as tho
facts are disgracolul and culpablo.
We regret TO place this on record;
but it is true, and tho facts as proved
justify your committee in njoining with
the good people Of the State in dcn~
ouncing such conduct now and for
oyovcr.
