and the deed, which was signed, gave the
millionaire immediate and absolute control.
Anxious to realize, and true to his ruling
passion, Mr.. Stewart at once gave orders tor
the demolition of the old building, and the
leveling up of the graveyard, through the
removal of the gravestones and the usual
cemetery attendants. Those who lived in the
neighborhood demonstrated and petitioned the
great dry goods man. for few weeks till they
could remove their dead. Mr.. Stewart de-
clined to stay proceedings, as he wished to
turn the property on the market. The lat
ters' indignation was aroused, and so much
did the petitioners take the matter to heart
that several of them were heard time and
again to utter the threat that if Stewart cared
so little for the dead of others, he himself de.
served not decent burial. Others went fur
ther and said that die when the millionaire
might, his remains would not be allowed to
remain at rest, as they did not deserve to be,
when he cared so little for the dead Of others.
1t is believed these threats are being carried
out, and that Stewards body was removed out
of revenge for inhumanity practiced by him
while alive.

down in the shape Of half note, the other
half to be paid when she announced her safe
arrival in Texas with the stolen child. Mrs
Gorrigan had an unquenchable thirst, and in
her transit between London and Liverpool
allowed her precious charge to slip out Of her
hands, with the consequences we know.
1t was the watch borrowed from Sir Lewis
Mallaby which first aroused Jacks suspicious.
1t bore the strange crest-two hammers
crossed, with the motto, II strike"-which
was marked upon the linen of the child that
Dan Blockit picked up at Kirklington sta
ton. The initial of the name Mallaby coin
cided with the monogram of H. L. M. Jack
rapidly drew his conclusions, and made a bold
shot, which hit the mark as we have seen.
Lewis Mallaby's confession soon reinstated
the rightful heir and Dan Blockit in after
years had no reason to regret the generosity
which had prompted him to give the little
foundling the shelter of his rude home.

A CASE OF STERN JUSTICE.

The indictment on criminal charge Of
eight directors of the broken West Of Eng.
land Bank is an evidence of the stringency Of
the English law in regard to the protection OF
stockholders in banking institutions: There
is no charge of fraud against the indicted di.
rectors. 1t is admitted that when the bank
got into difficulties they did not seek to save
themselves by selling their shares but, on
the contrary, that they bought more shares in
the hope of pulling the bank through, and
that they did not use any of the money of the
bank for their own private purposes. Person.
ally, they were perfectly clean-handed. Their
error was in striving to bolster up two crippled
firms to which they had made enormous loans,
by which large amount of money was thrown
away in the effort to retrieve that which was
already lost. 1t was an error of judgment
and not an act of deliberate wrong.doing.
But the English law takesno account of good
intention where other parties may suffer from
it. The offence for which they are indicted
criminally is that they kept the condition Of
the bank secret from the other stockholders,
and so involved themselves and their associate
stockholders in one common ruin; for by the
English law, where the bank is not chartered
on the limited liability principle, the stock
holders not only suffer the loss of their shares,
but each individual stockholder is made liable
for the debts of the bank in the event Of its
failure. The law, in this respect, worked so
much hardship in the case Of the Bank Of
Glasgow, and more recently in that Of the
West of England Bank, that it was changed
at the last session of Parliament, by the pas.
sage Of general law, giving any existing
bank, without winding up its affairs, the right
to reorganize on the principle of limited liza
bility. 1t seems hard on the West Of Eng
land Bank directors that they should not only
lose all the amount they held in the shares Of
the bank and be called upon to make good the
losses of the bank to the extent of their pri-
vate fortunes, but that they should also be ar
raigned as criminals, on charge of misman-
agement growing out of an over. confidence in
their ability to carry the bank through its diff
6culties Their fault was that when they
found the losses of the bank had absorbed its
capital they did not call meeting Of the
stockholders and explain to them its condition,
so that either fresh capital mig ght be supplied
by new subscriptions, or the bank be put in
liquidation. In this case only the loss of the
original stock would have ensued. As it was,
they went blindly on, piling up other losses
which they and their fellow-stockholde have
to pay, and it was the wrong thus done to the
latter for which an Indictment has been found
which threatens to land the misguided direc-
tors in convict's cell. - si8

THE ENDLESS PROCESSION.

THE ENDLESS PROCESSION.
Down the vista of the ages,
Saints and sinners, fools and sages,
Marching onward, slow and solemn,
60 in never ending column
Here the honest, here the knave-
To the grave. :
Like the rolling OF the river,
Going on and on forever,
Never resting, never staying,
Never for an instant straying,.
Peer and peasant, lord and slave,
EQUALS soon to mix and mingle
In the grave.
Duty cannot, nor can pleasure,
For moment break the measure;
They are marching on to doom,
They are moving to the tomb,
All the towards, all the brave,
Soon to level all distinction
In the grave.
Sincethe morning of creation,
Without break or termination,
Ever on the line is moving -
All the loved and all the loving,
Allth mothers ever gave
On to silence and to slumber
-s.ts In the grave.
Here no bribe the bond can weaken,
Here no substitute is taken;
Each one for himself-no other,
Son nor father; no, nor brother;
Love the purest cannot save;
Each alone the roll must answer
At the grave.
Who.commands the dread procession
That shall know no retrogression
Who can be the great director?
Ha that grim and grizzly spectre,
Hin that Sin to Satan gave;
Death, the mighty King of Terrors,
And the grave.

DEPARTED GLORIES.

General Charles G. Dalgren, late of the
Confederate army, connection OF the late
Mrs. Dorsey, who has enriched Jeff Davis by
her will, tells the following Munchaussenish
story of the splendors and exclusiveness Of
Natchez society in the good old days before
the war.
Natchez was the home and pride Of the
cream of the southern aristocracy. 1t was
surrounded by the beautiful homes of the
planters, whose broad acres extended up the
river for many miles. The finest people on
Gods earth lived there. Why shouldn't
they have been /? They spent money enough
to secure every grace and accomplishment,
l believe, in the world. The people did not
look for money or good clothes especially
although it perhaps required both of these to
maintain a position once obtained, but they
looked at character. If that was all right in
man he was welcome and was treated
warmly and Hospitality; but if he was tested
there and not found sound, then he had no
hopes of favor. There was wealthy slave
trader who used to come to Natchez with his
wife. She was woman Of rare beauty and
graceful demeanor, and all that money could
buy her was bestowed upon her, but she was
ostracised because her husband sold slaves.
True, the very planters themselves were guilty
of this, but they quieted their conscience with
the feeling that they never separated families,
but speculating in human flesh was so repug'
nant to their sensibilities, that there was q
perfect loathing of slave trader. So this
poor yet very rich woman came to Natchez,
stopped at the very best hotel, and hadn't q
particle of society.
One morning met her husband crossing
the street, carrying box in his hand
"Dalgren," he said, Il am not happy
"What?" I said, "not happy with all your
millions ?" "Ob," he said "money is nothing.
l will give you all that is in that box, and
will guarantee that there is 100000 there,
if you will introduce my wife to the people
you know" I passed on. He might as we'll
have asked me to take his wife on a journey
to the stars. There were in those days men
about Natchez who had incomes varying
from 100000 to 100000 year. Men were
accustomed to think and talk on big scale.
When bank was organized in Natchez there
was dispute about the salary of a cashier,
and one gentleman impatiently said he could
not waste his time discussing matter like
that, and told the other directors that as their
only object in organizing the bank was to
get interest on their money, if they would stop
talking and hand him over the million dol
lars capital, he would pay them their interest.
I demonstrated one day with my brother:in.
law for endorsing to the extent of 100000
for a neighboring planter. "Ob," he said
what do l care for that amount? See here
is report of my sales from Liverpool. The
amount is $4O0,OOO.' One morning I met
S. S. Prentiss, going along the street. He
was one of the most brilliant lawyers at the
bar of bis day, but unfortunately loved his
liquor too well. He had roll Of bills OF
large denomination in his hand and said: 81
just got those for making three-hours'
speech" The fee was $4,000.

"PAY AS You Go."-This advice is always
good, but it is specially timely, now that the
prospect ahead for work or business looks en-
couraging, and everybody feels cheerful.
How many times have you said to yourself
during the past few years, "If I could only
get my bills squared up, never would be
caught in this way again" andyou have fused
and worried over debts, contracted when times
were flush and the prospect Of paying seemed
fair. Now is a good time to turn over new
leaf, because it is just the time when the
tenn ptation to do the same thing again is very
strong upon you. 1fyour wages are increased,
or you are selling more goods and getting a
better profit, you begin to think "now | can
buy that new carpet, or chamber set, that my
wife wants and can pay for it in short time" :"
You had better wait until you have paid up
all the old bills first. Don't get trusted.
Pay for your provisions and groceries as you
90 along, and husband what you have over.
The relief from the old debts will be like the
recovery from boil-you feel better when it
is well-and the comfort Of feeling that the
little pile you accumulate is subject to no.
body's lien, is a positive pleasure. Flush
times almost invariably lead to speculation,
and speculation includes not only the invest
ment in stocks or lands for rise, but the dis
counting OF the future for anything that you
want. The man who buys what he is unable
to pay for at the time Of the purchase, is
mortgaging his life and his labor, and incur
ring burden which most likely he will re.
gret. "Pay as you 60 is wise maxim, for
yourself honest, and for your neighbor just
It's observance will tighten the cares and bur-
dens of life, sweeten toll, encourage industry,
reward honesty, promote good neighborhoods,
and induce prosperity.

AMERICAN STATE PRIDE.

A correspondent CT the London Times, wri.
ting about Minnesota, incidentally says: Each
State, from rugged Maine to sunny Florida,
and from imperial New York to golden Cali
fornia, considers that no other one rivals or
excels it. The citizens Of each speak as if
they had been placed by kind Providence
on the most favored spot of the whole earth,
and they regard the stranger who doubts
whether their good fortune be wholly excep.
tional, as person who is utterly ignorant and
inexcusably prejudiced. Indeed, a new. conner
will ingratiate himself the most easily with
the citizens of a particular State if he can
look upon all others for the time being, through
their spectacles His wisest course will be to
copy the example of the Frenchman ridiculed
and stigmatized by the late Gen. Sir Charles
Napier. That renowned soldier and eccentric
man entertained the conviction that French
men are all hypocrites, and he illustrated this
harsh and ungenerous opinion by saying: "lf
Frenchman were to 90 to hell, he would put
on an overcoat, compliment the devil on the
fineness of the climate, and add that, if any.
thing it was rather chilly" once said some
thing to a Pennsylvania, alike laudatory
and merited, with regard to his State. he
accepted the compliment as matter Of course,
and replied: THAT'S so ; Pennsylvania is best
in everything" Travelling in Colorado short
ly after the late total eclipse of the sun, re-
marked, in the presence of several citizens, it
was fortunate that the weather had been so
favorable there for the purposes Of observa-
ton. One of them told me, in reply: "Sir,
Colorado can beat the world in eclipses as in
everything else." These instances might be
multiplied. They all exhibit that pride in
ones State which is as notable characteris-
tic Of United States citizen as pride in his
country. When Captain Basil Hall travelled
in North America, he bitterly complained Of
the pertinacity with which every one demand
ed his opinion about it, and of the extreme
annoyance which was manifested if the reply
was not unreservedly complimentary. 1t is
far less common now than in by-gone days for
a stranger to be questioned concerning his
view of the Republic as a whole, and to be
expected to draw ffattering comparison be.
tween it and what the ignorant call the et-
fete monarchies of Europe. 1t is far more
probable that he will be asked by the citizens
of one State what he thinks of another, and
then, unless he display little of the French
polteness which Sir Charles Napier detested,
he will give as much offense as Captain Basil
Hall gave when he denied that the United
States we're the only land worth living in.

memory serves me, Arnold solicited and OBJ
tanned the command of West Point in conse'
quence of his being an invalid, and the reason
why his negotiation was not completed by
flag of truce, will state what General Wash
ington told the French ambassador, Lucerne.
He stated on his route to Hartford that he
dined with General Arnold at Haverstraw at
Joshua Smiths, where Arnold and Andre
met. General Arnold showed him letter
from General Robinson directed to General
Israel Putnam, an officer commanding West
Point, requesting an interview by flag of truce
on business of the first Importance to the
United States. General Arnold asked Gen.
eral Washington if he should 60 and hear
what he had to say. General Washington re.
piled that it would be very improper for the
commander-in.chiefo of post to meet any
body himself. He could send a trusty hand
if he thought proper. But, he added, had
no more suspicion of Arnold than 1 had of
myself This accounts for Major Andres
failure to negotiate by flag, and his subse,
quent movements.
II have thus complied with your request,
giving you such facts, by what had from
the mouth of Major Andre, and what heard
General Washington tell the French minister
soon after the execution Of Andre"

PREMATURE WoMEN.-When girls mid

APPLYING THE sERMoN.-The pastor of q
church in neighboring State, preached q
sermon on the Importance of saying "No,"
and in the course Of it dwelt impressively on
the moral courage required to use that mono.
syllable at the right time. After the sermon
a collection was taken for a very deserving
charity. When the congregation was dis
missed, certain man waylaid the pastor in
the vestibule and selling him by the hand,
thanked him effusively for the sermon, one Of
the most effective be had heard. The pastor
modestly replied: "Im glad you think so,
but cannot see why you should"
"Why," replied the man, "when went in.

dollars to that charity, but your sermon i'm

WHY STEWARDS BONES WE'RE DISTURBED.
A correspondent who resides in Hamilton,
Canada, who for many years lived in New
York, has theory of the stealing Of the
late A. T. Stewards body, which has never
yet been given to the public. 1t is not only
extraordinary, but highly plausible. Many
years ago Mr.. Stewart became the proprietor of
a block of land in New York in which was a
closed up cemetery. 1t was church property,

The KING OF THE UTEs.-Considerable
interest has of late been aroused in the Ute
Indians of Colorado, and few facts about
their head chief Ouray, who is an exception
al Indian, and his manner of life, will be in
teresting. Ouray has had built for him at
his place, about ten miles from the Los Pinos
agency, on the Uncompahgre River, by the
Government an adobe house, 80 by 40, fin
isbed in good style, with American furniture
and carpets He has farm of three hum
dred acres inclosed, and over sixty acres un-
der cultivation, in hay, vegetables and grain.
The work is done by Indians and Mexican
retainers. His wife takes an active interest
in the farm work, and does her full share of
the outdoor labor He has herd of two hun
dred horses and mules, and some of them being
very fine animals; in addition to the horse
stock, he has some cattle and several herds
of sheep and goats. His buildings are quite
extensive, consisting of large storehouse,
four dwellings, stables, corrals, granaries,
&c. He has fine family carriage, one of
the best that could be purchased, a present
from Governor Edward McCook, which, with
a stylish team and Mexican driver, makes q
conspicuous turn. out.
The farm operations and business enter
prises of Ouray have been very successful, and
prove him to be a shrewd business man. 1t
is the opinion of all who know anything about
him, that he desires to adopt entirely the hab:
its and life of the whites, and cut loose from
Indian customs, but the innate love Of power
and prominence makes him cling to his lead.

During the Council it was observed by Gener-
al Hatch that Ouray was born leader, and
exhibited diplomatic talents Of high order in
managing his unruly subjects and dealing
with every point and question advanced by
the Commission. His age is about 40, and he
has one wife and child.

SHAMs.-The Rev. DR.. Macleod, father Of
DR.. Norman Mcleod, passing through the
crowd gathered before the door of new
church he was about to open, was stopped by,
an elderly man with, doctor, if you please,
I wish to speak to you" Asked as he could
not wait until after worship he replied that it;
was a matter on his conscience. "Oh, since;
it is matter of conscience, Duncan" said the;
good natured minister, 81 will hear what it is. !"
"Well, Doctor" said Duncan, "the matter 50
this Ye see the clock yonder on the new
church. Now there is really no clock there,
only the face of one there is no truth there,
only once in twelve hours and in my mind
that is wrong, very wrong, and quite against
the conscience that there should be a lie on
the face of the house of the Lord" The
Doctor promised to consider the matter.
"But," said he, "Tm glad to see ye looking
so we'll, man. Ye're not young. remem-
Der you for many years but you have fine
head of hair still" "Eh, Doctor" exclaimed
the unsuspecting Duncan, "now ye're joking;
it's long since l had my hair" DR.. Macleod
looked shocked, and answered in tone of re-
proach: ,"Oh, Duncan! Duncanl are you
going into the house of the Lord with a lie
on your head ?" He heard no more ofthe
lie on the face Of the clock.

The OLD FoLKs.-Do young people ever
think that they will be old that they will
soon feel that the grasshopper is burden and
fear is in the way? Only few short years
ago that aged man and feeble woman were
young, strong and full of life; their young
hearts were gushing with tenderness and care
for the little ones who now stand In their
places. Do not jostle that aged. couple out
Of your pathway, but rather lift them with
tender care over the rough declining road.
You may have forgotten how they kept your
tender feet from stumbling, and with what
care they watched your advancing steps.
But they have not forgotten, and the time
will. come when you are forcibly reminded >.
it, by the love you have for your own little
ones. Will they hand you the same bitter
cup to drink that you put out for that aged
father and stricken mother? Verify, with
the measure ye mete, it shall be measured to
YOU again" Think of the anxious days and
nights your mother has watched by your sick
bed remember her loving care; her pa
tience and long suffering with your fretful-
ness, and then let the blush Of shame dye
your brow, that you should be impatient or
unkind to her now that she is old. Old folks
are such trial Yes, they know it; they feel
it and SO will you be such a trial to your
children in the days that will surely come !;
aye, anG you will remember, too!
