A defalcation in the great banking
concern of the Rothschilds is such an
extraordinary occurrence that the
European papers devote much space
to the late affair in Vienna. 1t seems
that the Vienna branch of the house
had long had in its employ man
named Straffer. He entered its ser
vice in 1864, at the age of twenty-one,
obtained numerous promotions by his
zeal and fidelity, and in 1874 was CIV
en- the important post OF cashier of the
stock and bond department of the
bank. He was quiet, industrious
man, and was to all appearance wholly
devoted to his employers, whose conf
dence he enjoyed. Nothing in his way
of living excited suspicion. He was a
bachelor, and his salary of $1,000
year seemed ample for his expenses
About fortnight since Straffer called
upon the principal attorney OF the
Rotlschilds and confessed that for sew
eral years he had been specializing on
the Bourse with funds obtained by
hypothecating the securities placed in
his charge, and that he had covered
up his operations by false entries in
the books of the bank. A series OF
heavy losses had made it impossible
for him longer to conceal his guilt, and
he made clean breast of the whole
affair. He was led to speculate by the
belief that he could safely initiate the
operations of the bank, of which he
had early knowledge. His mistake
was in not taking INTO account the
fact that he knew only of the transac-
tions of one branch of the great firm
which has its agencies in every money
centre of the world, and that the
Rothschilds might choose to lose in
Vienna for the sake of winning in Lon
don or Paris. Straffer's defalcation
amounts to $4,000; not enough to
make much of sensation in New
York, perhaps, but sufficient to cause
considerable excitement in Vienna.

Henry Ward Beecher is shouting for
the third term. He would do better
both for himself and for the cause he
champions by holding his tongue. There
was time when Mr.. Beecher's words
had weight, just as there was time
when he was Looked up to and respected.
That time has passed. His influence
has gone, and his opinions have ceased
to be of interest or Importance to the
American public. he says ne is ior

Lord Cairns, late Lord Chancellor, to

Lord Cairns was Chairman of the Lon

and those of the Vice Chairman, Lord
Salisbury, the railroad came to salts
factory settlement with its creditors, and
attained its prosperous condition.

THE END OF THE sEAsoN-LEGIs-
CUTIvE AUTOMATA AND ACCOM-
PLIsHED CLERKS.
From our regular correspondent.
The disreputable gang ofboat rae
ing gamblers has left the city. Squads
of Senators, members, and other pol
itical toilers and moilers have gone
to Chicago. This August heat in
May has driven the fair daughters
of fashion and their mammas off TO
the mountains, the sea shore and
Europe. The season has been
brought to a sudden close. Wash
ington is merely the residence of
the Executive and Legislative De-
partmeDts of this Government,
which, by the way, as every one
ought to know, is run by the 1900
clerks. Ifany man will invent an
automaton that will sign its name
as President of the United States to
bills, commissions, ETC., and cheaper
automatons that will sign the names
of heads of Departments to the
documents prepared for their sigma
ture by 800 clerks this government
might be propelled along the ring
ing grooves of progress with much
more economy and much less nom
sense.
The great diplomat who has been
at Constantinople, when not some
where else for the last three years
will, in few days, assume the du-
ties SO called, of Postmaster Gener-
al. What does he known about the
business s.? But then it is not neces-
sary for him to know anything. The
perfected machine worked by 1900
clerks runs itself,and as long as those
300 clerks remain in place
throughout our mammoth civil ser
vice it makes but little difference,
except for the name of the thing,
whether we draw Cabinet Officers
from Constantinople or some other
lunatic asylum. But l was writing
about this deserted village. The
flag that tells the presence Of the
National Legislature still waves
over the Capitol, but the halls of
Congress are devoid of interest and
the galleries are no longer filled
with their accustomed crowd. That
Congress will protract the session
far into the summer is very gener-
ally believed, but the wives, the
daughters, sisters, cousins and
aunts of Congressman have hired
away to cooler summer retreats
where they can lounge on cool ver-
andahs,
"Pour where bathing waters flow,
And watch unfolding roses blow"
lave their Musidora bodies in the
salty surf, and knit the revealed
sleeve of last seasons dissipation
Curse the man, or rather the Satan
that ever invented a city. 1t was
Satan's invention. He was the
cause of Adams leaving the coun-
try, the paradisos, and his wretched
defendants have ever since had to
forego the forest, the stream, the
happiness and peace Of prim@val
nature for the saloon, the shop, the
factory, the office. Alas, why can
not every woman be a man, broth
er, and a granger. Tempus will fid-
get swiftly with those romantic
roamers in sylvan paradises, but to
those of us who must remain here on
these streets of pitch, in the daz-
zling reflection of the marble gov
ernment buildings by day and the
vulgar gas-light of beer gardens by
night, time will drag heavily like an
INCREASED oX-Wain.

Tn. cuI,l,a,Ion Of Fors., Tree.

Prof. G. s. Sargent has undertaken On on.
terprise in which he ought to have the coOpo-
ration and support Of all thoughtful men
the collection and dissemination Of knowledge
concerning forest trees, and the promotion of
their systematic cultivation. The jewellers in
our eastern States, remembering the vast
wooded tracts which yet lie at their doors, are
apt 10 smile incredulously at the notion that
the cultivation of trees can be source of
much gain to them but they may be remind
cd that certain valuable kinds OF timber, such
as black walnut beach, butternut and birds
eye maple, are nearly extinct on the Atlantic
slope, while their value has greatly increased,
a single log Of figured black walnut from the
Ohio valley having recently been sold for
$4,000, and even then returning a handsome
profit in the sale of veneers and many new
species might be successfully introduced.
But for the far West from the Mississippi TO
the Rocky Mountains, II may be said that
forests are the one great and crying need.
Not only as settlements increase is the want
of timber severely felt, but the terrible
droughts which now rob the fertile lands of
Western Kansas, New Mexico and Colorado
Of half their value might be controlled by the
simplest kind of tree planting, systematically
pursued, and a vast addition made to the
wealth Of the continent. How much may be
effected, even in a short time, by such work
thoughtfully carried out, is shown by the e1-
ample Of desolate and sterile valley in the
wild region of Barcellonnette in the Lower
Alps which until 1868 was almost annually
devastated by the foundations OF the noun
tain torrent which flowed through ii. Its re-
clamation was begun by building dams Of
stone across the torrent, which, thus checked,
expanded in time of flood into series Of
lakes depositing fine alluvium, in which
grass was sown as the waters receded follow
ed by bushes, which soon gained hold suf-
iicient to prevent their being swept away by
the now gentle current. The growth of these
itself moderated the violence of the floods by
retarding the melting of snow and the descent
Of water from the slopes and trees began to
flourish, these multiplying in geometrical ra-
ito as their own good effect increased, until
now the once bare valley is clothed with vege-
tation, the ftful torrent has become steady
and quiet brook, and foundations have ceased.
