Saxon Financiering.

On the 9Th of July, 1878, the very
respectable banking house of Haase l.
Son, at Chemnitz, Saxony. closed its
doors after An existence Of nearly
seventy years. It had borne . very
high reputation, and thousands of poor
people were among its depositors. The
failure created q genuine panic, for
many hard working men were ruined.
Three committed suicide, fourth was
driven mad, and q riot was threatened.
The proprietor and his son were ar
rested. and have just been tried. The
evidence showed that the bank had
been insolvent for thirty-two years,
owing at the close over 81, 500, 900.
while its cash assets were only about
$4,000. It's accounts had been kept
in the most slovenly manner. Up to
1876 no cash-book had been used, and
the bookkeeping was by single entry.
The elder Haase was sentenced to five
years imprisonment, while the son who
knew all the facts. and accepted a salary
which he was sure was paid by other
peoples money, was, straightforward,
acquitted. He had also ovsrdlkwn his
account, but relative made this up.
His father, who is past three score and
ten. is, however, the greater scoundrel
of the two. He spent over $4,000 a
year, mostly on women and in gambling.
He gave his daughter about Sill 900,
when he owed three uarters of mil
lion more than he was worth. and in
general showed himself entirely devoid
OF principle.

it as snare-a senseless. foolish and

morning came he always handed out
his gifts in surly fashion. As he had
done his best to poison the sweet senti-

to make other people unhappy, they

Good Housekeeping.

In the first place, the thorough
housekeeper feels that the successful
management of her domestic duties re-
quires much thought and attention.
She is. therefore, quite willing to ex-
pend some brain power upon it. Now,
suppose we set aside one hour each
morning. and decide to devote that en-.
tirely to our house. Let tue larder

and quantities which should be given

A Zulu Incident.

Forbes, the famous Daily Ne,cs cor
respondent, is now writing from Zulu
land. Here is an extract from one of
his letters:
A young Englishman of good family
there is no need to mention his name
had been appointed to commission in
the Frontier Light Horse under Colonel
Buffers command. Once he had COM
mitted himself through drink, but the
offense had been passed over, and he
was 30 efficient and had behaved him.
self so we'll, both at Zlobane and Kam-
bula, that he had been recommended for
q commission in one of the regular in
fantry regiments. Since Zlobane he
has been subject, it is said, to fits of
excitement, and these were scarcely
soothed by occasional resort to drink.
Last night before lights out heard
him swearing to himself in q very ex-
cited way about some grievance in the
way OF extra duty which he fancied he
had. Later, when the camp was quiet,
he " loosed off" his revolver in his tent.
There was naturally o general commo-
ton. No alarm was sounded but in an in
slant every man turned out. The cause
ascertained, troops we're ordered to turn
in and the young officer was ordered to
consider himself under arrest. The
camp was scarcely quiet again when he
repeated the foolish performance OF
firing his revolver and there was repe-
tition of the universal turnout. The
General and his staff came round into
Buffers camp and summary and strong
measures we're determined on. But the
young fellow was in his tent rapidly
breathing out threatening and slaughter
and protesting that he would shoot any
one who attempted to enter. Major
Clery was equal to the occasion. He
had the tent-ropes loosed, and down
came the tent Oh it's obstreperous in
mate, effectually bonneting him. He
was at once seized, bound and under
guard conveyed into the artillery
camp, where he was made fast to gun
wheel, a blanket given him, and he was
so secured from further mischief. The
poor devil raved on wildly all night.
1t is an evidence of what influence Bull
Ter exerts over those under his COM
mand, that the burden of his constant
cry was, "For Gods sake send me
let me see Butler I never can face
Butler again, after this /" Butler is at
present absent on reconnaissance he
had overlooked the young fellows pre-
vious backsliding, and had saved his
life at Zlobane. He had his prayer.
This morning his accounts were made
up the money due to him was paid
him Gen. Wood, in a sentence, dis.
missed him from his force, with the
stern warning thst if he came back he
should be logged as an unauthorized
camp follower he was set on his pony
and escorted by an officer and file Of
men, conducted to the other side of the
Blood River, and there turned adrift on
the world.

British Grief and French Irritation,

A good deal of surprise is expressed
in certain quarters that there should be
any feeling manifested in France over
the extravagant demonstration Of grief
on the part of Great Britain over the
dead Prince Imperial. Yet the mani
festation of feeling criticised is far
more natural than the demonstration of
grief. The latter, indeed, has a very
himsy apology. Aside from the fact
that the young Prince was o foreigner
resident in Great Britain he had no
clsim upon the British people, and on
that ground no greater claim than any
other foreigner. His claim upon the
royal family was slighter still. The
fright divine" to rule, which con-
stitutes the basis OF friendship be-
tween the sovereigns Of Europe, was
never conceded to the Bonapartes by
the reigning family in Great Britain.
The first Bonaparte was Great Britain's
bitterest enemy durin. his life, and
has been her traditi nal and represen
tative enemy ever since he died. Her
treatment of him was such, moreover,
as ought to have made his family, to
the remotest generation, her enemies.
As for the father of the young Prince,
the "nephew of his UNCLE" he was
only tolerated by the British nation he
never had either the affection or re-
spect of the British people, even when
the two nations were bound by q
solemn treaty of alliance. The extrava.
CANT demonstration of grit, therefore,
over the body of the dead Prince is
only explicable upon the assumption
that it Is an expression Of national re-
morse for the gross carelessness, or
worse, which permitted the guest of
the British army to be sacrificed. And
even this explanation the British have
practically deprived themselves of the
right to make by their unwillingness to
concede that there has been any care.
lessness to be remorseful over.
The feeling Of France, on the other
hand, is perfectly natural and explain
able. However estimable the young
Prince may have been personally, he
was the recognized representative of
antagonism to republicanism in France,
that is to France under her present
government. France, under her pres
ent government. is upon friendly terms
with Great Britain; and it is impossible
for her public men and those who up
hold the republic, to ignore the fact
that the honors paid to the dead Prince
are paid to him, not as an individual
merely, but as the representative of tie
Napoleonic dynasty, the official enemy
of France. Recognizing this they can
not be expected to regard the extraor.
binary display of official grief on the
part of Great Britain as other than evil
dence of unfriendliness.
Whatever excuse there may be any
where for failure to appreciate and un-
derstand this feeling there can be none
in this country. Any American who
can recall the days of the rebellion and
the animosity which was engendered
here when the people Of Great Britain
showed their sympathy with the South
even by the most ordinary courtesies to
Confederate leaders aud off ,ials, ought
to comprehend perfectly why France
resents the ostentatious mourning at
the grave of the Prince Imperial.-De.

KEEPING THE HEAD CLHAN.-A dis
tinguished physician, who had spent
much time at quarantine, said that =
person whose head was thoroughly
washed every day rarely took conta-
gious diseases, but where the hair was
allowed to become dirty and matted, it
was hardly possible to escape infection.
Many persons find speedy relief for
nervous headache by washing the head
thoroughly in weak soda water. Ihave
known severe cases almost wholly
cured in ten minutes, by this simple
remedy. A friend tinds it the greatest
relief in cases of "rose cold" tho cold
symptoms entirely leaving the eyes and
nose after one thorough washing of the
hair. The head should be thoroughly
dried afterwards. and avoid draughts
of air for little while.

Suffering.

The conditions favorable to suffering
uuay be hereditary and may manifest
.nemselves when the child begins to
talk. Some Sufferers have never known
free speech. Suffering may be caused
by fright and by imitation. Suffering
sl1stains itself. That is, the original
cause may be removed and yet there is
no end or diminution of the impedi-
ment, which, on the contrary, increases.
If child recover from nervous or mus
cular weakness-the first cause.-the
suffering may seize hold of the chest,
and by deranging respiration, make
conditions, which, Of themselves, would
bring on the malay. Or if defective
respiration be the first cause, and it be
remedied, the suffering may find
nourishment in disordered nerves or
unhealthy brain. Thus, as already
said, Gu Ises and effects pass the one
into the other, so that they are con-
stsntly changing, not only themselves
but also the character of the suffering,
whose outward manifestations, at inter-
walls of five or ten years, would appear
entirely different to an observer. In
nothing is the adase, "An ounce of
prevention is worth pound OF cure"
more applicable than in suffering. H.
deed, in this instance IN ounce Of the
one is more effective than q hundred
weight of the other. Children with
suffering tendencies sht uld be special
ly we'll nourished; they should take q
great deal of physical and outdoor ex-
ercise; care should be taken that their
lungs are fully developed aud that their
nerves are not irritated. Late hours
aud highly seasoned food, aud every
thing tending to derange, weaken or I'M
duly excite, mentally and physically,
should be avoided. The cLild should
not be allowed to talk too rapidly nor
Hhen out of breath. If he has trouble
with word he should be asked to re-
peat the whole sentence, and not merely
the offending word. Oftentimes u
serious mistake is made here. The
child is drilled upon his most difficult
words, and he comes To fear them, and +,
as q result, his ability to articuiate
them is continually lessened. He should
not be permitted to associate with
another suffering child indeed no child
should. lnveterate suffering may be
caused by mimicking others. Through
out, the child should be subjected to
kind but firm treatment.-Me Voice.

The Iron Boom.

When the panic OF 1873 occurred, one
OF the first interests to feel the shock
and to suffer the most severely in the
after years was the iron and steel in.
dustry. Hundreds and thousands of
blast furnaces, FORCES, rolling mills and
other departments Of iron mongery were
closed up. Many of them never opened
again until after they passed through
bankruptcy. But with the return OF
coin basis for our currency there has
also returned the activity that character.
lied the iron industries prior to the
financial collapse. Advices from all
parts Of the country agree in this. 1t
is known that it vas with the greatest
difficulty that the Burlington and
Northwestern railway company could
have its order for rails filled, alth Tough
the payment offered was equivalent to
cash. Other new roads have and are
experiencing like difficulty and those
companies which have not yet negotiated
for rails will find it almost impossible
to secure them this year unless they i'm
itate Vanderbilt and 60 abroad for sup
plies. But that they cannot afford to
do as the American product is of better
quality and can be furnished as cheap
if not cheaper than British rails. This
view of the situation is confirmed by
correspondent Mt Cincinnati who tele-
graphs Chicago paper that informa-
ton received there from the different
iron districts of the west and south es-
tablishes the fact that marked i'm
provement has taken place in the iron
trade during the past sixty days, from
merchants, furnace-men, and manu-
features tell of healthful advance in
prices, and great increase in orders.
Furnaces that have lain idle for i've
years are being put in blast. Rolling
mills are running night and day in
some localities. In others they are run
twelve hours. and the men are paid for
one and one-ffth of days wages. In
every department of iron industry
good feeling prevails. Dealers agree
that the advance of prices is fully es-
tablished. A leading Cincinnati firm
report larger sales for July than for
any preceding three months in the his
tory Of their business. They say there
is a scarcity OF iron in the market.
Every manufacturer of railroad sup
plies has more orders than he can fill,
and some of the rail mills are sold
ahead for a year. Another encourag-
ing feature is that they now have vol
uuteer orders, where heretofore they
have had to drum up custom. Still
another is the number iof cash buyers.
A great many are discounting their
bills instead Of giving notes. The
great Bessemer steel mills are also
busy turning ont steel rails and market
products. Taken oil in all, the iron
and steel "boom is lively one, and
is very encouraging Indication OF re-
turning prosperity. For it is com
mercial fact that when the iron trade is
good nearly all other departments of
trade are prosperous. The iron trade is
a good commercial barometer B"rl-
