The sequel to this charming impo-
sitlon upon poor working people is
told in the following dispatches

BosroN, Oct. l5.-The liabilities of the
Ladies' Deposit Bank, now closed, is est.
mated at from five hundred thousand TO a
million dollars.
BosToN, Oct. ia warrant was issued
to>day for Mrs. Howe, President of the swind-
ling woman's bank
The police also arrested Julia A. Gould
charged jointly with Mrs. Howe in the con-
spiracy TIC obtain money under false pre-
fences through the Ladies' Deposit Bank
from depositors, and both women are de-
tanned at the City Hall. Mrs. Crandal, the
cashier, is also in custody.
In the case Of Mrs. Howe, bail has been
fixed at $40, 900, and $4,000 is required as
surety for Julia Gould. The women are in
Jail. They are much cast down and exhibit
great nervousness and alarm. Mrs. Howe
stated tonight that she was wholly innocent
of any wrong doing; that she was in the
employ Of a number of wealthy men, and
that the whole truth would soon come ont.
The estimated liabilities reach fully half
million dollars The losses are distributed
among large number of po1r women

Successful Banking.
Papers of ten to fourteen days ago
the following

buC iOllOW
The greatest sensation of the decade is the
discovery in back street in Boston, of "the
Ladies' Deposit Company" private bank.
operated exclusively by women, and for wo.
men. 1t did not receive much attention I'M
til few months ago, when a reporter dis
covered that the depositors received the
astounding interest of per cent. per month
for their money. or S96 per year for every
800. The bank offered to receive sums Of
not less than $50 and not more than 81 900
from any unmarried working woman paying
the interest already given. After a good
deal of trouble the newspapers discovered
that the manageress, Mrs. E. G. Howe, rep
resents herself as belonging to rich south>
ern family, and who had been engaged in
philanthropic business, according TO good
authority, fifteen years. She did not evince
much Of disposition TO answer questions,
but the reporters became aware that the
depositors not only received the fabulous
interest of 80 per cent, but actually obtained
fourth of it in advance. The journals, es-
peciauy the Advertlser, made fierce assault
on the whole business. denouncing it as a
swindie, which had the effect of causing a
run upon the bank. This was promptly met
by payment of all deposits demanded, and
the specified interest, and a provision that
all who withdrew their funds, forfeited for
ever the benefits derived from depositing
with the institution. While hundreds drew
out their money. other hundreds, impressed
with the firmness of the women in charge,
either abandoned the idea of taking out their
lucre, or else handed in some more. This
equalized the chances of the bank, and up
to date it refuses to fail. Mrs. Howe is very
mysterious about the thing, but says it is a
noble charity, and chat the world should have
been told Of IL only for the abuse poured
forth on the depository by the Boston journ-

HANCOCK AND SOUTHERN CLAIMS.

1t is said that General Hancock has posi-
lively refused to make public declaration
of hostility to the payment of Southern
war.claims of any description. 1t will be
remembered that during the Presidential
campaign Of 1876 Mr.. Tlden felt it neces-
sary to write letter for publication max
ing such a declaration. That these South
ern claims are by no means merely imagin-
airy is proved by the fact that the gross
amount of such claims as are not covered
by the prohibition in the Fourteenth
Amendment, now in the hands of claim
agents at Washington, is nearly 81, 500,-
600, 900, or in excess OF the entire national
debt. This renders the refusal Of General
Hancock to follow Tilden's example the
more remarkable, but the Cincinnati Ga
zette boldly declares that he will not write
the letter proposed, because he dare not
"do it" and alleges that she owes his
nomination to a syndicate of claim agents
"haying its headquarters at Washington,
"and composed in the main of Judge
BARLEY Poole of North Carolina, Fowler
"of Tennessee, West of Louisiana, and
"Butler lB. FL OF Massachusetts,. The
Gdzette further intimates that the defeat

TIE SENSE OF HEARING IN BIRDS

When we arrive at the sense OF hearing
we come to the point where proper esthetic
feelings begin 1t is quite impossible to
doubt that birds are fond OF musical sounds.
The song of our own nightingales and lin
nets, the deep notes of the South Ameri-
can bell. bird, the incessant cooling of the
dove, the noisy chattering of the parrots,
the ringing cry of the whippoorwiil, all
lead to the same conclusion. Here, again,
these sounds are of precisely the same ma
ture as those employed by the crickets,
katy dds, cicadas, and othermusical insects,
as well as by man himself in his vocal and in
stIumental music. Something of the same
taste is displayed among the quadrumanaby
the howlers and other monkeys. But it is
noteworthy fact that large majority OF
these presumably sexual calls, in birds, in
sects, and other animals, are true musical
sounds, not mere noises. | have pointed
out elsewhere the probable reason for this
preference OF pure tones in the case of man
kind and the same argument will apply,
mutatis mutdndis, to other animals. But
there is certainly singular analogy in this
respect between sounds and colors, most
animals preferring the relatively pure and
simple musical tones to confused noises !;
and the relatively pure and analytic colors,
red, blue, green and yellow, to confused
mixtures such as brown, gray and
mud color. At any rate. bird evidently
pays far more attention to the musical
class of auditory perceptions than to mere
noise A canary will take no notice OF or
binary confused sounds in a room but, ii
one begins to chirp or whistle to it, it i'm
mediately responds with another chirp in
emulation. So. too, when a piano or
other musical instrument is played in the
neighborhood OF singing-bird, it will
often show its recognition of the musical
character by pouring out its fullest flood OF
song, as If TO conquer its unconscious rival.
OF course, the singing matches between
birds themselves are too familiarly known
to call for separate mention.

FIR TIcEENoR EXPLOITED.

Mr.. Tichenor, the ingenious but too con.
fident individual who undertook to per-
suade the people of California that he
could extract gold from mineral springs,
has been exploited by the State Mineral
ogist, DR.. Hanks, who insisted on seeing
his process, and who at once detected his
clumsy introduction of chloride of gold to
the water Mr. Tichenor is evidently
nothing like SO ingenious an impostor as
many of his predecessors in that line. The
old alchemists and those who traded on
the pretense Of alchemical lore knew
several tricks worth any quantity of these.
The notorious DR.. Dee was an adept in the
alleged transmutation of metals, and he
never allowed himself to be caught. Even
Dousterswivel, Walter SCOTS creation, was
more subtle and cunning that Mr.. Tiche-
nor appears to be. The truth is. however,
that he is evidently not smart enough to
be successful knave, whatever his inclina-
tons may be in that direction. A man
who wishes to impose upon the public now
adays must possess some knowledge Of
chemistry, and must at least be able to in.
vent plausible theory. Mr.. Tichenor has
no knowledge of chemistry, and his theory
is merely ridiculous. He should have
stayed at home.

of Tilden at Cincinnati was brought
about mainly by this syndicate, in
retaliation for his published declaration of
hostility to Southern war claims of every
description. 1t remains to be seen whether
General Hancock is really afraid to COM
NIT himself in this matter, but it is certain
that if he delays to express himself much
longer the presumption Of his implication
in the manner alleged by the Gazette will
be greatly strengthened. The reality, the
extent, the audacious persistence OF these
Southern war claims, render the subject one
of first-class importance, and no Presider-
tial candidate whose dependence is upon
solid South can afford to refuse to declare
his views and purposes concerning them.
No one can doubt that the belief in pur-
pose to look leniently upon these claims
would raise such storm of public indig
nation as no party could withstand but
great many people entertain very serious
doubts whether the Democratic leaders
would possess either the courage or the
ability to resist the contemplated raid
upon the Treasury if they were in power.
For this reason it is of considerable i'm
portance that General Hancock should say
what he means in the premises.

THEY MUST SPEAK OUT FOR HONEST
MONEY.

One conspicuous lesson of the Maine
election is that the Republicans must
henceforth cast aside all hesitation on the
financial question, and stand up boldly for
honest money and honorable discharge of
the public debt. There is no longer any
justification or excuse for trimming on
this subject, if there ever was, which we
assuredly do not admit. But the Green
hackers have now cast their lot with the
Democrats, and whoever favors their ideas
will certainlynot go to the Republican party
for aid and comfort. On the other hand
there are many Democrats who are honest
money men, aud who will not follow
their party into the Greenbacker camp
These may be gained by the Republicans if
the latter have the courage of their con-
victions, and will boldly take up the gage
flung down to them by the Treasury
wreckers. There has been far too much
vacillation and tinidity on this subject
hitherto. Politicians, knowing nothing
themselves of the true principles of finance
and therefore incapable of distinguishing
between good and bad policies, have acted
as though it were a matter OF Indifference
what financial measures were adopted,
and for fear of causing opposition have
shirked and evaded questions which
because of their vital Importance must
be discussed fully and frankly, and
cannot be thrust out of sight And
we desire to point out to the Republican
managers that the time has now come
when it is necessary for them to take a
manly and unambiguous position in this
regard. Nor can they hesitate for mo-
ment as to which side they shall take
Arrayed against their party are the Demo-
Gratis and Greenbackers, and both these
latter represent practically the same finan.
cial follies and absurdities and knaveries.
The Republican party will be forced to
champion honest finance in the future as it
has done in the past. 1t will thereby at
tract to itself all who realize the gravity of
this issue, and are sound on the main
questions connected with it. The follow
ers of vagaries and fantasies have already
lett its ranks and worked their way over
to the Democracy, ana there they viii stay
until the Democrats once more discover
that the sense of the nation is opposed to
reputation and depreciation and fat
money and all the rest of the roguery
proposed. When that discovery is made
the Democrats will once more profess them
selves hard-money party; bat the Re-
publicans are by inheritance the guard
iaus of the national honor and interests in
this connection, and the time has come for
them to recognize their responsibility.

Ocean saws a person claiming to be q
special correspondent of the SACRAMENTO
DAILY RECORD. UNION came here just before
the Knights Couclave, and being unable to
secure quarters at any hotel, rented rooms OF
well-known detective. Things passed
pleasantly, and the alleged correspondent
was delighted with his quarters. During the
Conclave the detective was called away to a
| distant scene of operations on business OF
some Importance, and did not return to the
city until few days since, when he found
bred dollars in money and the alleged news
paper correspondent had simultaneously
taken fight. The detective will probably
have quite important business on hand for
the rest of the year"
