Burglars blew open the safe of the La.

of the oath inst, securing about $4,000 and
quantity OF securities.
Three masked men overpowered Mr..
Walter Sawyer, of the firm of Scroggs &

and forced him to open the bank. The
safe contained from $4,000 to $4,000 in
cash and bonds; but, luckily for the owners,
they had recently put on time lock, which
could not be opened. The bank was thus
saved from q wholesale robbery. One hun

is all that the thieves secured. Mr.. Sawyer
was left in the bank till morning, when he

instituted for the burglars. One of them

Frauds ON the Government.

The treasury department has been en-
gagged for some time in investigating alleged
valuations in the silk importaticns at
New York, and it is understood that the
chain of evidence is so complete that
prompt and decisive action is to be taken.
Special agents have been engaged in the in
vestigation, and it has extended to transac-
tons both in this country and in Europe.
It is claimed the evidence already obtained
shows conclusively that the government has
been defrauded at least of three millions a
year by under-valuation of silk for several
years, and that in many cases there has
been corrupt practices by the government
examiners and other employees. In one in
stance it is said the direct evidence of &C.
ceptance of money to lower the valuation
of an invoice OF silks has been obtained
and the name of the offending examiner
sent to Secretary Sherman.

The First Experience of the Japanese
with Electricity.

Mr.. Z. Clark, in Life and Adveafa5yes
IN Japan, gives the following amusing
account of the first experience of the
japanese With statical electricity. The
author lived IN Japan from 1871 to 1875.
and was IN the service of the Japanese
government. He describes the JAPANESE
as being very fond of anything practical,
and as being delighted with anything in
the shape OF experiment, even, apparent
~, when practiced upon themselves
lie says: 81 never witnessed a more lu.
dlcrous sight than the effects produced
upon the japanese by some of my ex-
periments. The innocent manner in
which they stepped UP to the various
eiectrlc machines, and did whatever
they were told, was only excelled by
the dumb establishment or the frantic
yen with which they received the cleo
trio shock. No visible effect, however
great, upon the first who wanted to take
nold was sufficient to restrain the in
tense curiosity of those who wished to
follow. They wanted to feel for them
selves, and their ambition was usually
satisfied after one trial. Two Of the
governors took a spark from one of
the machines, but the third was very
djgnitied, and would not deign to come
DIP TO the table, as it was contrary to
strict etiquette. So politely offered to
bring him some electricity ia a bottle.
tie doubted whether that could be done.
In order to dispel his doubts, and also to
bring him down to the level of ordinary
mortals, [ took q large Leyden lar.
which / charged full of electricity, and
brought it to him with good grace. He
looked at the jar, and seeing nothing in
it, concluded TO touch the brass knob at
the top. The effect may be better i'm
aglned and described, only he didn't
show any more dignity nor touch any
more jars that day"

Maine's Liquor Law.

Neal Dow is ever ready to claim great
and good practical results for the pro-
hibitory law in Maine. Mr.. Ingraham,
member of the legislature, recently
said, in an official report, that drunken
ness had increased and business interests
declined. Mr. Dow replies that there
is not distillery or brewery in the
state, and that the importation of liquor
is exceedingly small. He thinks that
100000 year would cover the value
of all the liquor smuggled in. "Our
vast West India trade" he says "used
to be little else than sending lumber of
many kinds to the islands, and taking
home rum for our own consumption,
and mOlasses to be converted into New
England rum in cur distilleries, also for
home use. In those old rum days the
people were poor and unthrifty; now,
everything in the state, in that respect,
is reversed, as the result of the vast
saving, direct and indirect, coming from
the law which has driven the rum trade
out. Portland, in 1866, lost SIC, 100000
in confagration, but its valuation is
now greater than ever, having gained
$4,000 last year under prohibition;
while Boston, with free rum (licensed,)
lost S70,0O0,Q0O and New York and
Brooklyn, with rum enough, have not
ainedg, / think"
