 "Poor Traill! The loss of his money has taken his brain. What demon has entered this house ?" sighed MT. Duff in the presence of a despair more tragic even than his own. Look here, old fellow!" said Traill, sud- denly bursting into laughter-"look here l found these ln the roof of your pig-sty this

 them there with your own hands,"

 In month or two he resigned his office, retir- ing on liberal pension to his farm and in order to compensate James Hamilton for all
 his recent trouble and misery, Mir. Duff re- quested, as a personal and final favor, that the Directors might appoint him to the position of Assistant Agent with George Traill, propo-
 sal which the Directors favorably entertained. These offices both of the gentlemen hold with honor to this day. It may be mentioned, too that George Traill and James Hamilton are now brothers in law, each having in due time welded one of Mir. Duff's daughters The
 bank is James Hanilton's home, while George Traill has rented farm adjoining Mir. Duff's The fresh country air, and fishing, and unlim- tied golfng-all enforced on him by the doc

Dismsy fell on the quiet little bank in Toll kirk. The former uneasiness became panic.
 Hamilton had been made ill by the anxiety of his position, and was in bed on the day that MT. Traills deficiency occurred. After close ly scrutinizing every entry in the books, Traill came to the conclusion that he had not paid the money in excess to any one, and that the notes must have been stolen by some one on the premises. The banks safe was duly ex- amined but the locks bore no marks of being tempered with. The windows and doors of the office were unaffected, and MT. Duff's do- mestics-who swept out the office-had been
 his servants and were known to him for years
 The matter was on this occasion reported to the banks head office but thence c;ime the cold intimation that no further deficiency could be made good, and referring the bank agents to their recent letter to that effect of such and such date Mir. Duff began to think the place was haun- ted. Wherever the money was gone it had to be paid up <; raising the total losses made in this mysterious way to the unpalatable sum of fourteen hundred pounds in less than three months. The mystery was all the deeper that during the day of the difference in Traill's cash, It had happened there had not been a slngie cash payment amounting to five hundred pounds. Then there came vague rumors- such as the Police, had the matter passed into their hands, would certainly have made use of

not state what the solvent is,
nobody can tell whether it is
subject to a duty Of 50 per gal

The telegram referred to i'm
parts the information that the
manufacture OF quinine is car
ried on in Stratford, England,
in Frankfort, and in Paris; but
that there is no factory in the
world that approaches that oil
Powers & Weightman, which
covers ten acres, besides a lab
oratory 100 by 800 feet nearer
the centre Of the city. This
establishment and that OF
Rosengarten & Son, which is
also in Philadelphia, are the
only ones in this country that
are engaged to any consider
able extent in the manufacture
of quinine. 1t appears, there
fore, that the duty on quinine
has been for the benefit OF
these two firms almost eXclus-
lively. The importance OF this
i" native industry with re-
spect to the employment OF
labor may be inferred from the
statement Of Mr.. Farr, that
when Powers u Weightman
stop the manufacture they will
discharge eighty men. AS
their establishment is the
largest in the world, it is not
likely that more than one
hundred and forty persons, all
told, are employed in this
branch Of manufacture, and ii
is not likely that more than a
dozen families have derived
any benefit from the monopoly

been very greatly benefited

Hotel Beats.
How a Certain Glass of People Live
Well on their Fellow Men.
From the Philadelphia Record. l

From the Philadelphia Reeori.I
The genus homo known as hotel beats are
rapidly becoming a tribe Of the past. Time
was when, without q dime in pocket, they
could fare sumptuously every day at the ex-
pense of numSe.less hotel propretors through
out the country As time rolled on, and "beat-
ing" became more successful, their ranks in
creased from q regiment to small army.
Then the leading hotel proprietors throughout
the country thought it was time to look out for
themselves. "Organizep' "Organizer' was the
cry. And so convention was held, at which
they swore eternal warfare against the whole
army Of "deai bsats'
Out OF the convention came hotel keepers

Chicsgc. The plan of operations is simple.
When hotel keeper has been defrsuded he
at once telegraphs particulars to the head
Office. The latter at once sends out to every
member of the organization a printed paper
headed in large letters "Dead Bests." Below
this follows the usme under which the fraud

the manner in which the fraud was accom-

THE unfairness of the Nation toward
Republicans and its partiality for Democrats
gets a fresh illustration in its abstract of the
testimony of Dunn, one of the members OF
the South Carolina Returning Board. The
Nation uses quotation marks freely, after its
fashion, and represents Dunn as testifying
that what Democratic prospects OF bribery
he heard, she regularly communicated to
Governor Chamberlain as danger Signals
just as Marble communicated the corrupt
proposals he received to Pelton." The
Nation is unable TO perceive any difference
between bringing proposals of bargain and
sale to the knowledge of Governor Chamber
lain who had the strongest possible interest in
rejecting them and dlscomfiting the bargain
ers, and bringing them to the knowledge of
Pelton who had the strongest pos sible inter-
est in closing with the offers. That is, there
Is no difference between exposing the weak
ness of bank vault to the police who guard
it or to the burglars who propose to break

THE Nation suggests, in discussing the
Presidents letter to Collector Merritt, that
''the best way Of preventing the recommen-
dations of the President or Secretary Sher-
man from having any influence would be
the steady refusal of these gentlemen to give
any recommendations. III this way the bur-
den OF the Collector would be lightened and
good example set to members of Congress.
1t would be very hard for Mr.. Merritt not to
heed letters coming from his superiors, and
he ought not to be called on for any such
displays of virtue. In civil-service reform,
as in many other good things, each officer,
from the President down, must do his own
share of the work. A temperance apostle
who took an occasional dram himself, and
warned his neophytes not to mind him when
he invited them to take drink would
meet with but limited success"
