barsh banker AZ Scott was 4 well
educated young man, Of Sue personal
appearance and agreeable mahners,
there could be but little reason for
siving tho banker preference, except
his wealth and social rank. Scott felt
this keenN through life, and In
"Rokehy' he revives the episode az
some length, Matilda, the heroine Of
the poem, represents the object Of his
early love, who there rejects a poet in
favor ofOne Of higher rank, aud this
scene becomes douhy Interesting as a
picture ofSeOtt's early experience.
In 1871 Lady Forbes died, but she
had lived long enough to see the once
pennilcSs barriSter the first poet in
Scotland, Her death was deeply felt
by Scott for although he had been
married for years, the old flame was
not oxtinguiShed. "Rokeby" APP
peAred the next year, and Lockhart
says p" that there is nothing wrought
out in all Scots prose more exquis.
lite than the contrast between the
rivals for the hand of the heroine
Six years afterward Scott wrote thus
to Miss Edgeworth Matilda was
attempted for the person Of a lady
who is no more, so that | am hattered
with your distinguishing it, AS this
took place nearly twenty years after
the Disappointment it illustrates the
tenacity with which the author held
to his first love. When Lady Forbes
died Scott was so affected that he
called on her mother, and both fell
to weeping over the sad affair.
1t is a curious incident in do.
nestle history to see a man carrying
his FIRST love so tenderly through
life, while married to another woman
to whom he always showed great at
tachment. Scott evidently made Ma
tilda the ideal or dream-wife who ac-
cOmpanied him TO the last. Having
recovered from the worst effects Of
disappointment, he met a French girl
whose father had saved both life and
fortune by fleeing from the dangers of
the revolution. At the time referred
to Miss Carpenter (or Carpenter)
was an orphan, and to her Scott trans
ferred his affections, aSfar as this was
possible. He appeared, as has been
said, much attached to his wife
through life, and sincerely incurred
her death. She was, however, intel
lectually and physically inferior to the
Scottish ladies. of the day, and the
rapid degeneracy of the family may in
some degree be ascribed to so unfa-
vorable a union.

MunicinnI Indebtedness.

Judge CoOley's lecture on The
Evils Of Municipal Indebtedness F"
deserved a larger audience than the
students of the Johns Hopkins uni
versity, Baltimore. He remarked
that there are no statistics of the
amount of municipal Indebtedness in
this country. but the estimates range
between 81 900, 900, 900 and 81, 500, 000,-
600, and even this latter sum is be
lieved to be below the actual amount.
The opinion has been expressed by
many that the municipal indebtedness
of the country is equal to the whole
national debt. But even if the
aggregate were smaller, it is enough
to threaten the peace, the proper
government and the honor of
the country very much more
than the national debt, for the
reasons: l. A national debt is spread
equally over the whole country and
affects us equally as may be all the
people. Municipal debts, however.
are not even spread equally on all
localities that are subject to them.
2. The origin Of the debt is not unim-
portant. A national debt ofany great
magnitude is not likely to be created
except under the pressure of great
necessity but in directing attention
to the local debts of the country one
finds that nothing is more noticeable
than thls-that as a rule they have not
been contracted under the pressure of
any necessity at all, but are the out
growth of speculative periods. The
lecturer enumerated some of the evils
that spring from excessive municipal
Indebtedness. l.. Such indebted
ness tends to create d~istrust,
u%neasiness, aud at last a re,
sort to doubtful measures on the
part Of those who are the creditors.
z. 1t extreme measures against NUM-
cipallties prove successful, there is
another disconnected class that makes
its appearance which embraces all or
the most of those who are compelled
to make payment. 3. Large munich
pal debts cripple the ability to make
the necessary annual improvements
and repairs needed for the city. A..
Heavy municipal debts tend to weaken
the sense of public honor. 1t is the
man who owns but little or none at
all who feels most keenly the sacred
ness to pay, The idea of reputation
only springs up in mems minds when
the debt has become a burden. 5.
The existence of heavy debts is a con-
slant temptation for the city to dis
pose Of its valuable property and fran
chiSes. G.. Heavy city debts tend to
drive people from the city into the
country, and thereby diminish the
city's population and resources.

The COIOred Exodus.

81. Louis Globe Democrat. 16th.l
The negro exodus is a much more
serious thing than many suppose. The
indications are that il has hardly COM
menced in earnest yet. Letters are
received in this city every day from
colored preachers and others, making
inquiries about transportation, and
stating that hundreds are ready to
leave localities which have not been
supposed capable Of subsisting that
many. Meantime all sorts of devices
are resorted to for the purpose Of de-
tanning the colored men In the South.
The latest We have heard Of Is a writ
Of attachment, illegally served on 9
colored man, just as he stops on board
a steamboat for the North. These
writs are obtained in blank the negro
is asked bis name by one party and the
blank is fllod by another. As many
as twenty negroes have been captured
from a single vessel this way. This is
we fear, the only kind of attach.

The experiments with the Jabloch-

complete failure. The light was lite

pence, while turbot, fresh from the
