she AID they are exceptionally sympa-
thetic, they regard her distrustfully from
the first, and are soon armed against her
at all points. If she really loves her
husband, they resent it; if she does not
love him, they resent it also. Indeed,
there is no way usually for the wife to
conciliate her husbands mother except
by surrendering her authority, rights and
responsibility into the mothers hands;
and if she should do so she would cease
TO be in any strict sense a wife. 1t is the
husbands mother who is the true, the
typical mother-in-law; and if men will
still joke for centuries more, as seems in
evitable, on the threadbare subject, they
may as well begin where their jokes shall
have pertinence and point. Hayper's

RaiIrona Ala Bonds.

The people of ST. Clair, Henry and
some other interior counties of Missouri, are
holding mass meetings upon the county bond
question, and the attempted enforcement of
payment by legel process through the
United States courts, which has just been
inaugurated. The resolutions adopted are
very strong, and in some instances declare
the payment shall be resisted by all possible
means. They declare that the bondholders
have put compromise out of the question by
adopting this course. The county judges of
several counties have been ordered to appear
before the United States court at the March
session TO show cause why they do not order
the levy to pay the defaulted interest ON these
bonds, the great bulk of which we're issued a
few wears ago in aid of various railroad en-
terprises. The action of the court viii then
brin.r the long pending troubles between the
counties and bondhelderS to crisis.

The London Economist of the 23d of
Feb, in speaking of the money market in that
city says the rate of discount in the open
market has been firm at "a per cent. The
price of silver is due to the passage of the
Bland silver bill, speculative absorption of
India councils paper, and purchases by Russia
from Germany for coinage purposes. The
stock markets have been subjected to very
sharp fluctuations during the week. Tuesday
the fall of prices was almost unparalleled.
Statements were circulated that Russia was
massing large bodies of troops in Roumana
and buying silver from Germans to a heavy
amount, that our government was hurrying
preparations, and that Lord Derby would
make an unfavOrable statement in the House
of Lords that evening. This Lord Derby did
not do, consequently there has been a fairly
good renewal of confidence, and the result
which has been a moderate improvement in
most securities. The effect Ofthe passage of the
silver bill through the United States Senate
by more than two-thirds majority was not at
once apparent. American bonds prices at
first showed tendency to advance, probably
in sympathy with the general tone Of the
markets, but there has since been some gen
uine selling which caused a relapse. The
American railroad market has been compare
lively well supported.

Kiss me sweetheart, the spring Ia here;
And love Is lord of you and me-
The blue bells beckon each passing bee,
The wild wood laughs to the Powered year
There Is no bird in brake or brere,
But to his little mate sings he:
Kiss me. sweetheart, the spring is here
And love is lord of you and me.n
The blue sky laughs out loud and clear.
The missel-thrush upon the tree
Pipes for sheer gladness, loud and free;
And go singing TO my dear;
kiss me sweetheart, the spring is here;
And Love is lord of you and me-"
R0NDEAU.
Life lapses by for you and me,
Our sweet days pass us by and flee;
And evermore death draws us nigh
The blue fades fast ont of eur sky;
The ripples ceases from our sea,
What would we not give, you and /,
The early sweet of life to buyg
Alas sweetheart, that cannot we;
Life lapses by.
s But though our young years buried lie,
Shall Love with spring and summer die?
What If the roses faded bel
We in each others eyes win see
New springs, nor question how or why
Life lapses by.

A friefsf living in Philadelphia has a
sweet golden haired little daughter, aged
three years, who is devoted TO her father
and endeayors. after her baby fashion, to
govern her actions by his own. This habit
causes much amusement in the family,
though tE5 little one seems quite uncon-
scious tina. she is the cause Of it all.
Not loug ago the child attended divine
service fce the first time with her father
and sat qnietly and grave.v in the pew
until the close ofthe sermon. 1t CHANGED

little daughter was following him. As he
knelt ana bowed his head, the baby OF

hands. Those WHO saw the touching
sight were affected almost to tears, and
nobody attempted to remove the small

The Crooked Banker of san Francisco.

Duncan denies having been guilty of
crime, and says his hands--are clean as regards
any misappropriation of funds of the bank;
that he expected to pull through up to the
very time of closing the bank. He accounts
for a failure by the decline in business since
the suspension of the banks of California and
the Usurious rates of interest he was compel
ed to pay on loans to keep afloat. He denies
having raised certificates of safe deposit stocks
and saddling that on Lawarne. He declines
to give any account of his adventures since
his disappearance, on the ground that it
might make trouble for friends who had as
sisted him. He said he never intended to
leave the city and would not have concealed
himself except at the eOlicitatiOn of friends {;
that the sole attempt made to escape was in
compliance with their desire, stimulated by a
fear that he would be mobbed by the Kearney
crowd if captured. Had it not been for that
fear he would have given himself up long
ago. He believes, if given an opportunity, he
can save depositOls much from the ruins of
the bank, and will use every exertion to that

committee to-day that in November, 1876,
he was sheriff OF Baker county; made a
canvass with the county judge and a
Justice of the peace of the election !;
was invited to participate with Coke, the
clerk, but did not like to comply didn't
want to have anything to do with that
canvass. On the 18th witness, Judge
Driggers and Bill Green, Justice of the
peace, made canvass of Baker county,
after dark, in the clerks office, and
threw out two recincts-Darbyville and
Johnsonville-at the suggestion of Drig-
gers, the reasons given being that intimi-
dation had been practiced at one and IL
legal voting at the other.
The intimidation consisted in refusing
to let a man vote. There was no evil
dence in the Johnsonville precinct, but
IL was charged three or four men voted
who did not live in the county. There
were no witnesses before the canvassers.
The throwing out of the precincts
changed the result in the whole county:
Before throwing out all the returns they
figure out what the result would be-.
They got in the clerks Office with key
in the possession OF Driggers. All the
votes would have given the county to
the democrats. One j. w. Barrett, a
democrat, asked witness to sign Cox's
canvass made on the 10th, and said If
he would there was some money ($125)
for him, but he (witness) declined.
Barrett took witness to Paris store.
where he saw John E. Hartrdge,
democrat, Of Jacksonville, who said If
he would sign the return that Coke made
out he would compensate for witness
trouble. Witness told him he couldn't /;
it looked TO much like a bribe. Hartrdge
said i. wasn't for bribe, but only TO
pay for witness trouble.
