The Boston DefaIcatton

Jonn U. Iappan, the Boston defauItar wac

being shown the newspapers with the state
ments OF facts coming from gentlemen who
had been connected with him in business he
say anything in explanation, saving thai
there could be nothing said that afected his
character or standing in the community"
After hearing the sketch read, he declared fhe
main statements to be absolutely and mn
quanfiedly false. William z. Hunt. president
OF the Atlas bank, who WAS appointed on the
committee OF investigation, gives the follow.
ng facts about the defalcation: The statement
made at meeting of the creditors on Monday
VAS that Tappan had involved the company 10
the amount OF SSl5,0N. The assets of the
company were valued a $an.O01 The amount
of the property assigned by Tappau To the
company was nominaly over S, O0O,Oo0 but its
real value was uncertain, and certainly mucl
less than estimated. In 1873 the COMPANY va
financially sound and had a large surplus tn
losses occurring since that time. He presume
that the direction was aware that Tappan
was using the name of the company on paper
for his own use, but did not suppose he was
doing SO To a sufficient extent to embarraSS
The company. The credit of the company had
always been good, but for the past two or
three months The banks had become somewhat
suspicious and some had declined to renew
the paper which they had. His own bank held
the cOmpaDy'S paper TO the amount OF $4,000
Iappan had private debts of from $4,000 to
SlehWO, and II Is very probable that his credit
ofs would object to the transfer of his prop
erty, as made to the company, on the ground
that it was an attempt 10 favor the company
when expecting to fail. In this case a settle
ment between the company and Tappan
would be delayed and made more difficult, but
the payment of the company debts would not
be effected in consequence. John G.. Tappan'S
property which he had turned over to the
company consists of stock in gold and silver
mines situated in Colorado, the value of which

How 10 Get a Cinder Ont Of the Eve.

The following prescription for removing a
clnder from the eye will be found especially
useful in the travelling season:
Having caught a cindeI in the eve IL IL
possible that, by remaining quiet a while it
may de dissolved by the tears and vanish or
we may promote the flow of tears by attem Mt
ing 10 open the eye now and then, and cause
the Clnder TO he carried of by them. We NAV
also help the flow OF tears by seiZing the edge,
OF the upper lid, drawing it away from the eve
bail and at the same time blowing the nose
smartly, or We may pull the upper lid down
over the edge OF the lower, and, thrusting the
latter up beneath it, make the lower eye-lashes
90 service as broom in brushing away the
offending substance. III these expedients fail
we have sure one in turning over the upper
I'D and Wlping of the cinder. This is easily
done 10y travelling companion. Take n
pencll-GaSe for fulcrum; place it parallel
half an inch above it; then, with the
thumb and fOrefnger of the other hand
seize the upper lid firmly by its eyelashes and
free edge, and direct the person TO look down.
and the moment the eyeball rolls downward
turn the I'D quickly up over the pencil. Do
not wipe the delicate surface of the everted
lid with the handkerchief more than is neces-
Sary. First find the situation of the Offending
su9stance-whlch possibly may be so small as
10 DE almost invisible; then remove it with the
hnger or point OF the pencil, or with the hand
kerchief turned over the end OF the finger.
The clnder will generally be found at about
the middle OF the upper lid, not far back from
the edge.
in case the foreign body sticks on the bali OF
the eye in front of the pupil IL may be wiped
OFF with a bit of paper twisted to a point, or
possibly by bit OF soft pine wood (say the
Tree end OF common friction match) IT.
however, Ii does not come off easily, surgical
aid must be sought, as great harm may be
done the transparent point of the eye by the
use of sharp instruments in inexperienced
hands.
