- Pima COre's Continued Sue
cess at the Broad.

"I. Nj. 5. Pinafore," Sullivan and Gil
berl's great comic opera, continues its
wonderful successful car eer at the Broad
Street Theatre. 1t is now in its tif h
week, and is pronounced an attraction as
when first brought. The audiences re-
main as large and fashionable as ever,
and at each performance the auditorium
presents brilliant appearance. Since
the recent visit of Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher several prominent cergymen
have witnrs 'ed "Pinafore," and all have
with one voice, praised its morality ana
shining merits. Managers Ford and
Zimmerman are constantly improving
the stage business Of the opera. They
have strengthened the cast by securing
the services of Mis-, Lizzie ADnandale,
who now fills the role of Little Butter
cup with marked acceptability, both vo-
cally and dramatically. The chorus has
been greatly augmented, and many new
and beaut ful costumes have been provid-
ed. "Pinafore" is nearing its tittieth rep
resentation, and the indications point to
paying run of several weeks longe..
Seats should be secured in advance, eth
er at 1928 Chestnut street or at the thea
ire. BY this means all disappointment
10 procuring choic places can be avoided
The advance lies for the Saturday matt

dance OH that occasion.-PreSS.

THE BANK DEFALCATION.

The examination into the accounts OF
Evan liice, Cashier of the National Bank
OF Wilmington and Brsndywine, was
concluded last evening, and the amount
OF the defacation, as stated by the Presi-
dent of The Bank, IS $4,000. The al
fair is clear case of embezzlement, the
funds of the bank having been distracted
and money sent from Washington in re-
demptlon If mutilated currency retained
by the cashier. The dishonest transac-
tions were covered from time to time by
false enlries, which were so successful
that they prevented discovery until it
was accidentally made known to the
Bank Examiner last week.
Mr. Rice was somewhat improved in
health this morning, and is still under
arrest at his house, being closely guarded
by Deputy Marshal, while two police
men keep watch on the outside of the
premises. His counsel, Levi G. Bird
Esq, is making strenuous efforts to Sc
cure the required bail-$15 ,00O-and has
succeeded in raising nearly that sum-
lie has until two o'clock this afternoon
to raise the balance, and il 1t is not then
forthcoming. Mr.. Rice will be taken to
New Castle Jail.

THE sEnIoUs DEFECTS IN THE NEW
LAw-1HE QUESTION OF APPkoPRIA'
TIoN.
A correspondent at Washin gton sends
the following.
The bill granting arrears OF pensions
seems to have been SO crudely drawn as
to be capable of very different coDstruc-
tiOn from that by Its author or suppor-
ters, and the question of additional legts-
lation to remedy its defect, is already be-
log considered. The Com missioner OF
Pensions has been asked by General
Rice, the author of the bill, to give his
views upon the measure, and when an
answer is received IL is the Intention of
General Rice to present such additional
legislation as will meet the views Of the
department, and push 1t through at once.
He s9id to-day that there would be no
trouble about getting this supplemental
legislation through, as he and Senator
Ingalls,, Chairman of the Senate Pen
sion Committee, were in perfect accord
and were bound to make the bill COM
plete for the purpose for which 1t was
framed. In relation 10 the money 10 meet
the den ands of the measure, General
Rice aid he had concluded, after inves-
tigating the subject, that the Commits
siOner of Pensions could not perfect and
pay more than S10, ,0OO, 900 on account of
these claims during the coming fiscal
year, and they would therefore recon-
mend an appropriation of that amount
he did not think IL would be necessary
to sell bonds to provide the means for
paying claims arising under the act"
Another correspondent, speaking OF
the same subject, says:
The question of providing for the pay
ment of arrearages Of pensious Is Still un-
der consideration by the House Commit
tee on Appropriations. 1t is understood
that proposition will be made from the
committee to authorize the Secretary Of
the Treasury to re-issue $33, 600 900 of le-
gal tenders of the amount now retired
from circulation. Congressman Ewing,
of Ohio, will endeavor to secure a sus-
pension of the rules on Monday next for
the consideration OF bill authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury 10 reissue
the entire amount OF retired legal tenders
up to the original limit of $400 ,0O0, 900.
The action of the SeEate Committee on
Finance to-day, In voting in favor of the
House bill reducing the tax ou tobacco,
1t Is said will be approved by the Senate,
the represe natives OF the tobacco trade
who are in Washington having assur-
ances of majority IN favor of the bill.
The passage Of this bill would still fur
ther reduce the revenue of the Govern
meDt, and make it necessary to provide
in some way for the payment of pension
arrearages. The amount required for
this latter purpose Is now put down at
S33, 600 900, and a member of the House
Committee on Appropriations said to-
night that In all probability the measure
above mentioned would be reported by
the committee"

A PRESIDENTIAL CANE.

The Cecil Democrat says Mr.. Sam'l
j. Price, the popular auctioneer, left at
our office this week beautiful hickory
cane. A year ago, whi u walking 10 the
woods near town, he cut it from VEN
erab1 trunk that bad, in its battles with
the storms, been shorn of many of its
larger branches. One feature of the cut
ting attracted his attention particularly;
namely, that it contained just thir cen
shoots-spel.ing the names so dear to
Democratic hearts: Andrew jackson.
Samuel j. Tilden, and Thomas f. Bay
ard, and he concluded at once to call it
the "Presideutial cane" IL was dressed
and painted by Mr. James Camblln, of
this town, and is every inch neat piece
oil workmanship. As Mr.. Price suggested
to us, this cane will be an eXcellent in
strument to carry in elect oneeriIg for
the DEMOCRATS choice for the Presi-
dency, DeIaware's gifted son.

Selling the Jewels.
Frgm 81 the Year RgguJ

Irgm Sd the Year KguHd.
The Plantagenets were very rough
and ready iinauclcrs. When Richard /.
took it into his head 10 try conclusions
with Saladin, he raised the neediul by
turning the crown manOrs and the for
trcsscs OF RoHburg and Berwick into
hard cash, selling Offices OF trust 10 the
best bidders, and did not hesitate To
ayow that he would dispose OF London
itself II a purchaser were forthcoming.
Strangely enough, Gwur dc Lion never
seems to have thought Of dong the
same by his crown Jewels. Henry III.
was the first English monarch who had
recourse TO that undigniiicd expedient.
The idea, indeed, did not originate with
him; for il j. recorded that when some
person or persons unknown suggested
the replenishing OF the royal Golfers by
selling the crown plate and jewelry, the
king hintcd doubt A. to the likelihood
Of finding purchasers, and being assured
that the citizens Of London would glad
ly accommodate him, Henry exclaimed
"On my word, II the treasury OF Angus
ius were brought 10 sale, the citizens
are able TO be the purchasers. These
ClownE who assume 10 themselves the
name Of barons. abound in everything.
while We are reduced TO necessities. -
Notwithstanding his indignation, Hen
~, like other men in his predicament.
was willing enough to deal with the full
pursed ones he abused. and 30, in l9iS,
be sold the citizens OF London all tho
plate and jewelry he had not already
moricaged 10 the merchants Of France.
The relief afforded wa, however, only
temporary one, for seven years later
we find him demanding 200 marks Of
the jews. and answering their remon-
STRANGE against the exaction by pleading
that he was a begear, spoiled and strip
ped OF all his revenues, without iarth-
ing wherewiih TO keep himself, and
therefore must have money from any
hand and by any means.
