STATEMENT BY DONvANs BROTHER.

S. }. Donvan, brother of Paul 7. j. Donvan,
who lives at No. 1874 West Twenty-seventh-st,
stated last night to TRIBUNE reporter that his
brother was stationer and printer at No. 90 Ex-
change-place He did much printing for bankers
and brokers In the neigbbOrhood. This work
he did not do IN his own establish
ment, but gave 1t out to photographers and
printers outside. About two months ago, he said.
three persons called at his store to get some bonds
printed, as they alleged, for the Brazilian Govern
ment. These men had their own Autograph stones
already prepared for the press; but as they
we're strangers and the bonds were In foreign
tongue he had considerable hesitancy in taking
the work. Finally. advance payment hav-
ing been made, he consented to take the con
tract. Paul 7. J. Donvan did not understand the
writing upon the plates but supposed 1t was span,
ish or Portuguese. The photographer, Morarty. had
done great deal of work for him, and there was
no occasion for bribing him to do the
printing. s. J. Donvan said he could not
account for the Brazilian notes in his brothers
possession at the time of his arrest. He con-
cluded his sta tement by expressing the hope that
the public would suspend Judgment until his
brothers case could be heard. Paul L. j. Donyan
has a wife and lives in Fifteenth-st.

Mr.. Beecher's Experience Of Poke.
Root.

We recommend our readers never to
dig poke-root, supposing it to be horse
radish. We said to a friend at Peekskill,
two years ago, that we wished she would
get US some poke-root, which grew in
her place. We understood that wher
it was dried and powdered it was just
as good as purging- powder for cock
reaches. She said she would. Three
weeks passed; she sent down the root,
wrapped in a newspaper. and it was
brough. upstairs. We saw it, and sup
posed it was horse-radish. We said :.
Take it down into the kitchen" This
was done, and some of it grated to send
up to table. 1t was passed round !;
somebody took some, and said: "This
doesn't taste like fresh root" We said ::
well, it's dead sort of bitter" An
other tasted it and did not like it, and
we all concluded to let it alone. In
about eight hours after that time more
active family you never saw. Purging,
vomiting, loss of sight, and all sorts of
symptoms of poisoning came on, and if
we didn't have one of the most watch
full and merry nights! Indeed, several
homeopathic physicians sent word to as
certain exactly the symptoms, in order
to correct their descriptions of the &C.
ton of the root, and we were able to
tell them exactly its operation, first,
middle and last. Since then we have
given up all thought of using poke-root

The Punishment of a Man who Boosted

Farmers Wife.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
BATAVIA, Ohio, May 21.-William
Story, alias Allen, is St. Louis man,
snd Mrs Charles A;chley is the wife of
Charles Atchley, well-to do and highly
respected young farmer who lives at
Alton, about four miles north of this
place, on the Williamsburg road. Allen
eloped with Mrs. Atchley. Allen is a
natise of Brown County in this State,
but since 1870 has been travelling in the
West, making his headquarters at St.
Louis, which place ne now calls his
home. The pair were captured by De-
tectives duffy and Shaffer at the Great
Western Hotel in Cincinnati, where they
had stopped on their way to St. Louis,
their place of destination. Charles
Atchley, whose wife is the victim of AL
lens wiles, is young man of excellent
character, and son of David Atchiey,
Township Trustee, and prominent

lodged in Jail, open threats of lynching
were made. During his STAY in Alton,
Allen had made himself offensive by
his frequent boasts that he could run of
with ali the women in town.
The feeling against the man was in
tensified as the facts in his recent es-
capade developed, and early this morn
ing band of men, all masked, went to
the hotel and battered down the door of
his room. The men soon had Allen in
their possession. He pleaded for his
life, but 10 attention was paid to his
prayers. He was taken from the hotel
and hurried to the bridge that spans the
creek close to town, and il was only by
a miracle that he escaped hanging. At
the bridge rope was tied around his
neck, and the other end was made fsst
TO the timbers and he was then thrown

And the looks of their clothes, which are

They are iounging about
And their elbows are out,
But fer public opinion they don't care pin.
When the mercury mounts at the bidding OF

As they stand with their backs to a wall or

And complacentiy whittle

They are looking for work-so they say with
sigh
That is one part emotion. the balance {" old

But their manner OF looking we're bound to
condemn
When We recollect work is inquiring for
them;
should they meet face to face
What would then be the case?
Why, the former would dodge and go rapidly

So they stand in the sun and they think and

How delightful 'twauld he II invited to drink.
And when supper time comes they partake of

AFTER DUSK.

Pale CLEAN the stars In the dark sky,
The yellow moon hangs low;
The little white topped waveiets die
ON foam grit rocks, and ripping flow
ON into shining pools where slow
The silver eel twists TO and fro;
And with a ciang of wings on hi2n
The wild swans seward fly
The seas soft wash among the weeds
sways hushfully away;
The wan blue heron scars and speeds
Back to the inland marshes gray,
Where hardly ever wind breaths fray
The brooding waters day by day;
And from yon sea marge of tall reeds
The loon his shy mate leads
A fitful falling wind doth stir,
And sob as weeping DER
Some deep down wave worn sepulchre;
TIL reaching the dim silent shore
Its music mingleth with the lore
by waves sung softly evermore-
Hush all is st!ll--save one last whirr
OF doves in yonder fir.

Bulgarian Thrift.

The chief characteristic of the Bull
gars is the love of gain; their passion is
thrift; characteristic which, with ed
ucation and freedom, will make them
the advancing people of the East. They
have saying among themselves:
"When a Bulgarian mothers only son
returns to her after long absence, she
does not say to him, MY son, how have
you been?' but, MY son, what have
you brought back?'" One anecdote
combines their thrift with their super
stitions in very characteristic manner.
l had sent mass of new clothes to a
burned village high up on the noun
tain side before the middle of winter,
and, having got the tchorb1dji's receipt,
| delayed going there till early in
March. The snow was up to my horses
knees, and the Balkan wind was cut
ting through my sheepskins. To my
horror I found myself surrounded by q
crowd of half-naked, shivering crea-
lures, some of the children with only q
rag round their loins, the women and
girls budding under tattered rags.
Some, they said, were too naked to APP
pear. What had happened? had my
gift of clothes been lost, or was it stolen,
or whatp "Oh, no." screamed dozen
women at once; "praise God, the
clothes are here all safe; but we have
only them and these rags, and if We put
them ON how could we nave new clothes
for the Paschal feast?" "But," said,
"you will die before Easter comes of
this cold; half of you must be dead al
ready" "Oh, yes" they replied,
" certainly; many and many are with
the saints for want of clothes; and, if
more die, God wills it so. But how could
we keep the Paschal day without new
clothes? 1t would curse usl"-Ihe

is only one he has assumed for stage pur-
poses. The Doctor is the pastor Of the
large and fourishing Bedford-avenue Re-
formed Church, and is we'll known in re-
ligious newspaper circles, having at one
time been editor Of the Christian Intelli-
gencer, and literary editor Of the Chris
tian at Work, and at present looked-for
contributor to numerous periodicals.
/ am of the opinion that he is man of
means; at any rate he can afford to run a
fancy farm at Claverack, on the Hudson,
besides occupying very comfortable city
house. He has been four months in
Europe, and such was the love his people
bore him that they not only continued
his salary during that time, but one of
them forwarded to him before starting a
check for 81 900.
The Doctor returns with renewed
health, and repertoire of valuable ex-
periences, and from appearances his
homely, Puritan-looking face is destined
long to look forth from the pulpit of the
Bedford-avenue Reformed Church. He
is just one of the best hearted men in the
world, so that if his eye chances to fall
on this article he must, from the very
nature of his psychological makeup, ex-
cuse the allusiQp to his homeliness, and
accept the compliment that this little
sketch is intended to pay him.
On Thursday evening his people gave
him royal welcome, as he deserved to
have. While in London lie, of course,
saw Miss Thursby-indeed, it is said, she
sent her old pastor ticket for box at
Covent Garden, where she was to sing.
The Doctor accepted the invitation. He
says that Europe has no allurements for
her compared with America, and that
when he bade her goodbye, she was
looking forward with JOYOUS anticipations
to setting foot once more upon her native
soil.
Now word about the Signor, and l
close. John Clark was formerly an hon
ored member of the newspaper profession
of Brooklyn, and contributions from his
pen are to be found in the bound vol
umes of the Union and Eagle of this city.
But his sweet, flexible, baritone voice
gradually BROUGHT him before the public
in another capacity, until finally his snc-
cess became snfficientlypronounced to lead
him to go to England. There he quick
ly obtained popuarfavor, and now, after
an absence of several years returns to the
United States with the laurel fresh upon
his brow. He is of commanding presence,
and genipl manners, while his voice COM
mends him at once to any audience SO
fortunate as to hear him. His first ap-
pearance will be on the first proximo, at
the Fifth Avenue Theater, New York.
Then he will come to Brooklyn, and
probably will then take up the leading
cities in order.
Should Miss Thursby and Brocolini
visit Cincinnati, I bespeak for them
hearty welcome, as they deserve
nought but the best Of kindly treatment.

Arrest OF Com m cd ore Mutt.

The stories about Commodore Nuts
arrest are all very funny, but none of
them true. The facts are, that when the
police entered his saloon to arrest him he
ran down a rat-hole in the rear Of the bar
and was only dislodged by the aid Of a
ferret. In locking him up it was useless
to put him behind the bars, and as there
was not enough air in a basket Captain
Short confined him in an old boot, tying
a string tightly around the ankle. He
made two attempts to escape in court by
crawling up the Prosecuting Attorneys

might be taken for a flea, but he came
down on hearing the motion granted rel

guilty.

Vermont Savings Ranks PrOsper0ua
fst. Albans (Vt) Messenger


The annual report of the Inspector
of Finance, Hon. w. H. Du-
Bois, of West Randolph, has Just heen
issued, showing the condition of Ver-
mont savings banks and trust companies
on the 1st day of last july. They are
all sound and prosperous. There has not
been a failure, defalcation, nor seri-
Gus run during the year. There has been
an increase of deposits to the amount of
nearly $4,000. The total amount to the
credit of depositors was trife over
$8, ,000 600, of which about $5, 250000 be-
longed to residents in the State. The av-
erage to each was $247 50-a decrease of
$11 20 during the year. There has been
an increase Of small deposits to the num-
ber of 1,882-that is, Of those depositing
less than $3.50.
This shows that the savings banks
are per forming their true func-
ton as oustodians of the funds of
the laboring classes rather than as
financial agents for the wealthy
and speculative. Most of the banks have
paid dividends, and yet the total surplus
is upward. of $4,000. A good many
have been obliged to take more or less
real estate on mortgages, the aggrn.
gate of this being more than $125,OOO
greater than the year before. The total
expenses of all the 81 companies and
banks, was a trifle in excess of $45, 900,
nearly $4,000 less than the year before.
The Inspector estimates that, under the
new law for taxing these institutions,
some $4,000 will be derived annually,
about $4,000 of which will be paid to
towns where the depositors reside, and
the rema nder, being the tax on deposits
Of non-residents, will 60 to the State
Treasury. .
