My treatment at Burlington had reached
Middebury, as it ought, and excited much
Indignation; every one therefore had a
curiosity to sec me, and render me every at

agent was all kindness he took my sub
scription book down stairs and obtained a
number Of subscribers, and brought me tho
money this was better than breaking my

dollars in a few minutes. and neglected
everything to attend to me. lie was a

Boston, March 2i.-The Reading bank
By its deislcating treasurer loses upwards
of SS0.O0O. The bank is ruined. He has
held that office since 1853. hsiug held in
the highest esteem and owning property
worth 100000 left him By his fsther.
When the question Of giving bonds was
discussed, it was considered sufficient Sc
curity to accept the individual bond of
Pratt secured by mortgage on his farm.
The bond was Tor $4,000 which the bank
still holds. Since the depreciation OF real
estate the question Of Increasing the secur-
ity has been considered by the trustees. at
whose request Pratt placed in their hands
81 800 in government bonds which the
bank now holds. MIR. Pratt owned a large
land property other than that mortgsgcd to
the bank. but it Is covered with attach
ments to such an extent that the bank will
not recover anything from that sourcs.

WHEN Senator Wallace, who is sort OF
"yhip" on the Democratic side of the
United States Senate. pressed his resolution
calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for
the amounts paid the marshals and deputy
marshals in certain States, Mr.. Edmun1s
offered an additional resolution asking for
information touching the occasion and neces-
sity for the marshals and the facts about
their operations. This compelled the Demo-
Gratis either to oppose authentic information
from oiE,ial sources "a to tho very laws they
proposed TO abolish, or else to unite in call
inc for statements which would vindicate
their valve and necessity. Ot course, the
Democrats voted down the proposition and
refused to receive the facts.

Clay and Randolph.

April 8, 1926, a duel was fought
between Henry Clay and John
Randolph. Randolph had de-
nounced Clay as gambler aud
blackleg. Clay wrote him in re-
gard to the matter, asking him
whether he intended to call him @
political gambler, or to attach the
infany of such epithets to his pri-
vats life; but Randolph declined
making any explanation. Clay
then challenged him. They met,
and before the word was given,
Randolph's pistol accidentally
went of. Another was handed
him and shots were exchanged
without effect. Col. Benton and
others then interfered without eff
feet to stop further hostilities. At
the second fire Clay's bullet passed
through Randolph's coat. Ran
dolph fired in the air, saying, ~
should not have fired at you, sir,
had not my pistol went off acci-
dentally and changed my determis
nation.n Then advancing he said,
"Sir, give YOU my hand.p II
take it,n replied Mr.. Clay; and thus
ended this famous duel. Randolph
never got over his dislike of Clay,
aud gave instructions that When
he was buried it should be with
his feet to the west, so that when

Hard on Conkling.

The Louisville Coarier-Journal
goes for Conkling's scalp In this
savage fashion: Truly, Mr.. Conk-
ling must feel that the devil is
good. Things have taken turn
since Canonchet, and the shotgun
does effective service for the stall
warts whichever way it is leveled.
To be driven off, like dog, from q
colleagues house in the middle of
the gay season and in the presence
of the fashionable world; to tuck
tall and go like dog; to be scorn-
ed of all men, and worse than
scorned by all women; to seem to
be mashed, smashed and done for,
is q curious prelude to ones sud
den reappearance as a dictator-
the hero of the piece-making and
unmakiDg aspirants, rewarding adj
herents,dispersing enemies and CIV
Ing laws to the party ofmorat ideas,
sublimated culture and exclusive
loyalty. Indeed, there is such a
thing as prosperity in villainy.
That which is base, that which Is
despcable, may be elevated by
party frenzy into the greatest
places, and honest and true men
fall down and worship it as they
are at the present worshipping at
the shrine of this smirched saint,
seeing uot behind the star-fowered
drapery Of the flag that blinds their
eyes the hideols Deaths head, with
its top.knots and its soap-locks,
grinnfng with fiend's delight and
CHASTITY as gorgon's; this ridicu-
lous cock-a.doodie-do of saini;
with q whole choir Of scarlet wo.
men to chant its praises, and Hen

Priest. a
