Savings banks that fail, savings
banks that are plundefed by burglars,
and savings banks that are robbed
even more completely by their officers
-sayings banks, in short, which are
mere traps for the small store of the
poor peoplerthese classes seem to be
more numerous than any other sort of
savings banks of which the people can
hear, and therefore ii becomes a very
important problem what thrifty men
and women shall do with the few dol
lars they are able to lay aside from
their earnings. One of our dispatches
points out that some of the citizens of
Washington have found a s~atisfac-
tory solution of this difficulty. They
have withdrawn their deposits and
purchased, as far as their means go,
the government four per cent. loan.
For some years now we have urged
that our government should follow the
example set in England in associating
with the postal service a system for
accepting the deposit of savings. All
the arguments in favor of that are in
favor of the people using the govern
ment bonds for the same purpose. BY
this means money is less Immediately
accessible in case of need than it
would be by the postal savings bank
system, but it is at least removed from
all the perils that surround it in the
average institution for savings.

success, both here and in SenatobIa
We are glad that this hero from the
West is appreciated at home as he is
here. He reached Independence on
the I'd inst, and the people of the
city turned out to do him honor. They
gave him a grand reception at the
opera house and cheered him as if he
were a conqueror returned from a
great conquest, and so he wa and was
regarded. 1t seems that the gathering
was in the opera house where a pOlit-
zeal meeting had been held that even
ing, and some one had INDUCED in a
bitter sectional speech. When DR..
McCulley arrived be was escorted into
the house amid the most unboundcd
applause. The independence Kansiau
of the 9th in its report says:
After a few short congratulatory reccp-
ton speeches by some of our tOwnsmen,
DR.. McCulley, among other things, said
that for the past sixty days he had been
through scenes that would harrow up the
inmost soul of the most hardened man On
earth. He then spoke Of the high esteem
in which the people Of the South held the
people Of the North, and how grateful
they were for the succor which the North
ern people had sent them. The doctor
said that he knew of his own knowledge
that a Northern man in the city of Mem
phis would be as much respected as any
Southern man could possibly be, and that
SIT would be worth a mans life for any
person in the city Of Memphis 10 even
speak lightly Of a Northern man. THE
effect Of these statements, coming as they
did right upon the heels Of Grass bloody
shirt speech was most wonderful. The
audience eheered and stamped whenever
the friendly sentiment of the South was
referred 20, and the fact was, the backbone
of Grass speech was entirely broken. 1t
was the best refutati0n against these
bloody shirt harrangues that could posi-
bly have been made. There stood the old
hero, Just returned from the South, I'M
willingly giving the lie to the essential
part Of the colonel's speech. OF course the
audience could see the point.
g We are glad that the people Of
Memphis have such a friend and wit
ness as DR.. McCulIey, and ifthe gem
tlemen about independence who make
speeches against US are really sincere
and believe what they say, we only
wish they could come down here for a
few weeks and they would be con-
yerted to DR.. McCulloy's way ofthink-
ing. Long may the old hero live.

the least marvel connected with Mr..
Cough is his energy. Efforts which
have caused much stronger

apparently little or no effect on him.
From his whirlwind Of passion he was
in an instant calm, quiet converSa-

several minutes, the zeal and Gre were
almost painful, as we thought Of tho
reaction on the morrow yet we find
that in this style he has lectured, at

may be affirmed, that Of all decorators

so short as Mr.. Cough, so that when,
at the expiration Of an hour and a half,
he ~apologized for too long an address,
the audience, by unanimous, hearty
and continued round of applause
showed how much longer they could.

power Of Mr.. Cough in very few
words. He is so great an actor that
we are in doubt as to which is the
greater-his loss to the stage or his
gain to the platform.

in ministering to the sick Of our pes

the distinction Of being the only vol

MRS. HAYEs-MRs. THOMPSON
A Pretty Incident About These Dis.
tlngulshed Ladies'.

For nearly a year, says a writer in
the Washington Republican, I've been
%treasuring a little secret, in which
Mrs. President Hayes and Mrs. Eliza
beth Thompson, Of New York, are
associated in a very interesting way,
neither of these ladies having until
the present time, given their permiss-
ion to have the story told. Somebody,
however, has written a letter from
Saratoga abiding to the incident, and
this letter, although purporting to be
private, has gone to the public through
the press, as everything else does in
general. Under the circumstances, l
am pleased to be able to give the facts
without breach of confidence.
On the eighteenth birthday of Mrs.
Thompson, her husbands mother pur-
chased, as a birthday gift for this lady,
whose name has since become a syn
onym throughout this country and in
foreign lands for noble b~enefaotions to
he race, a magnificent broOch-a silver
eagle studded with rubies and dia-
mOnds, the red, whitgAnd blue shield
on its breast finely wrought in enamel
The suggestion Of the gift came from
Father GavavOnia, then in this coun-
try, as, in his estimation, peculiarly
appropriate; and with the celebration
Of the day the splendid momento was
placed upon the lady's neck By him
with the charge, When you find AM
other spirit more deyotedIy patriotic
than your own present the Keepsake
Mrs. Thompson had become one of
Mrs, Hayes ardent admirers some
time before an opportunity occurred
for personal acquaintance, and about a
year ago, when in the city, in an inter
view with Mr.. Secretary Rogers, allud-
ing to her very warm appreciation of
the lady Of the White House, she un-
pinned the eagle from her throat and
handed it to him with a very earnest
request to bear it for her as a gift to
Mrs. Hayes, r~emarking, as she told the
story of the Fathers charge, 1T be-
longs to her, and adding, in reply to
Mr.. Rogers remark, that Mrs. Hayes
might be unwillingto receive so valua-
bic a gem as a gift, Request her then
at least to wear it for my sake until
we meet"
Mr.. Rogers carried the treasure to
Mrs. Hayes with the accompanying
message. Some time interviewed befor'
the ladies met. The opportunity.
however, was at length presented upon
a subsequent visit of Mrs. Thompson
to the capital; and, when the very
agreeable occasion came, Mrs. Thomp-
son was gratiied to see the brilliant
ornament sparkling at the throat o.
the ideal of her heart, who, before
parting with her admirer, quietly un.
fastened it, and with such rare deli.
cacy and taste as she alone commands
returned it, saying, Il need not tel
you that | do, indeed, appreciate YOU
beautiful gift, but, as the wife of tn,
President, it is hardly proper that ]
should be the recipient"
Such is the substance of this inter
esting incident. The gem is kept b.
Mrs. Thompson more sacredly thar
ever, as nevertheless belonging, b.
virtue Of the charge with which It wa.
received by her, to one she so mucl
loves and hOnors.

DEATH OF 6. D. s~rxiskUHr.

In the death of Captain Chris"
Steinkuhl, as he was known, one of.
the best-hearted men IN Memphis has
gone to the shades of ElmwOOd. His
friends, comrades and family feel that
the expiring plague has delivered a
stunning blow, which has felled as
true and brave a man as ever lived
In 1862 he enlisted as a private in
Company A Of Forrest S old regiment,
Captain Mcdonald commanding the.
company, in which he distinguished
himself by his gallantry. On the re-
organization Of the regiment he was
promoted to first %heutenant Lieuten
ant Barbour being promoted to cap
tain. In all the battles in which For
rests regiment was engaged up to the
surrender he acquitted himself with
great bravery and distinction, in sew
eral instances being in hand-tO-hand
conflicts. He was the favorite of all
the soldiers ofthe regiment and when
he was in the lead his men were always
anxious to follow. After the war he
engaged in business here, and but for
his l%iberality, which knew no bounds
among his friends or the needy, he
could have been a wealthy man. He
was the promoter Of every charitable
enterprise, the friend of the poor and
the sympathetic listener to every ap-
peal Of the distressed. At home in
the domestic circle he was the idol
lied husband and father. No man SO
well known had fewer enemiesy per-

C0urier-Journal.l
Rev. B. +. Converse, editor of the
Christian Observer. entered a Sixth
and Broadway car on his way home at
the corner Of Sixth and Market yes
Hterday afternoon. As he walked for
ward to deposit his fare IN the nickel
box, Mr.. Converse observed Rev. Sam
fuel r. Wilson, Of the Presbyterian
Church, sitting in n corner Of the
front of the car. There we're half a
dozen others on board. On account Of
numerous newspaper publications con-
cerning the disruption Of the First
Presbyterian Church, four years ago
these two gentlemen had not met for
some time. When Nh. Converse n
tered the car he observed that DR..
Wilson booked him square in the face,
and as he passed through the a he
was conscious that his eyes we're still
upon him. Doubtful of the feelings
with which the venerable preacher
gazed upon him, Mr.. Converse turned
his face toward him and with a polite
bow said:
HGood evening, DR., Wilson. "o13na.
Have you the impudence," said
DR.. Wilson, have yousthe impudence
to speak to me, sir, after slandering
and lying about me as you have in
your paper for the past four years ?"
Excuse me, DR., Wilson," said
Mr.. Converse, and quietly took a seat
in the rear end of the car. godso.|
DIR. Wilson turned toward him in
his seat and said:
You have slandered me and lied
about me, sir"
At these words a lady accompanying
Mr.. Converse becoming alarmed.
pulled the bell rope, and would have
left the car had not one of the passen-
gers laid his hand upon her shoulder,
saying, filf | were you | would sit
still. There is no danger, and then
you will show more independence by
not leaving the car"
DIR. Wilson then arose to his feet.
and, addressing himself to the passen-
gers in the car, pointed to Mr.. Con-
verse, and accompanying his words
with eloquent gesticulations, said:
That man is Mr.. Converse, the edi-
tor of the Christian Observer, Of the
Courier Journal ring, which has been
slandering and lying about me for the
past four years. And yet he has the
impudence to speak to me. He is a
liar and a slanderer! He is a harl a
liarl a liar lllp ~
After thus relieving himself of his
pent-up rage he returned to his seat,
and with folded arms sat in silence,
but with apparently great agitation Of
