The SorroWinu Dove.

A year or so ago little girl living
near Rathboneyille, n. Y, village Oh
the line of the Erie railway, was pre-
sented with a pair of doves. One day,
recently, they were flying across the
railroad track, when the male bird came
IN collision with the smoke stack Of the
Pacific express, which passes the spot at
about 7 o'clock in the morning, The
bird was killed by the shock, and III
stantly thrown out Of sight of his mate.
The female circled about the spot for a
few moments, in evident amazement at
the sudden disappearance of her mate.
She then flew to mile-post near by,
and for long time gave utterance to the
mournful notes characteristic of the
dove. Suddenly she seemed to realize
what had carried the male from her
sight, and she rose in the air and
flew swiftly in the direction the train
had gone. She did not return till
about noon. She alighted ct her coop,
where she remained the rest Of the day,
uttering her plaintive cries. Next
morning, just before 7 o'clock, she was
seen to fly away and take position near
the spot where she last saw her mate the
! day before. When the express train
came along, she few at the locomotive,
lowered about the smokestack and
around the cab, as if looking for bel
mate. She accompanied the locomotive
for mile, and then returned to her cote
Every day since then she has repeated
this strange conduct. She goes to he1
lookout for the train at precisely the
same time every morning, and waits til
the ktrain comes along, no matter how
late it may be. She never goes further
than about mile with the train, re-
turning to her cote and mourning piteous
ly all day.

Angel island, hauled into their nets a
marine monster. They discovered that
there was some difficulty in the opera
ton, and to their surprise an enormous
Chang Kwei Yu," or large devil-fsh,
appeared entangled in the meshes. AS
it came slowl y to view on the surface Of
the water, its arms grasped the side of
the boat. With sharp ak they succeed
ed in chopping off the huge feelers, and
thus freed their craft Finally the whole
body was got into the boat, and the
prize conveyed to Chinatown, where it
was cut in pieces and sold to the various
Chinese restaurants. The heshy part of
the fish partakes somewhat Of the cuttle-
fish, which forms an important item in
the gastronomy Of the Celestials. The
eyes, horny beak and ends of the claws
are used for medicine by the Chinese.

The career of Silns NJ. Waite presents an
exceedingly interesting psychologist study,
and one not easily to be comprehended by
ordinary steady going, honest-minded NOR
tails. CHANGING back over the past ten years
in our local history, it is entirely phenomenal
to see what an amount and variety of respon-
sibility he has assumed, and in how many
ways his mind has been exercised and strain
ed, at the same time that he has been carry
ing his terrible load of crime. Within this
period of ten years he has been chairman of
the board of trustees of the Congregational
society," chairman of the board of village bal
lifts, and at two different times chief engineer
of the fire department and has run" all of
these institutions in the same absolute and
autocratic manner in which he has invariably
and inevitably run" everything with which
he has had anything to do. During the
whole Of this period he was a member of the
village school committee, and the whole con-
troll and supervision of our graded schools
was virtually in his hands. His time was
freely and cheerfully given to the schools,
and no one disputes that on the whole they
have been well managed During all of this
time his hands have been full of railroad
business. He has been n director in the
Connecticut River company, has had big
and successful fight with the Central Vermont
to secure the control of the Vermont Valley
road, and for year was Che sole manager of
the latter road, during which time he made
many very valuable and important improve
ments upon it, including the arch bridge
1.
of the Putney culvert lie also negotiated
| the lease of the Ashuelot road to the Connec-
ticut River company, and for two years, dur
ing the inception of the Brattleboro & White
hall enterprise, he threw himself, heart and
soul, into the work of making that enterprise
an assured fact. He was the owner of the
Hinsdale bridge, the owner and manager of
the gas works, and a part owner in and vir-
tual manager of the Elliot street carriage
works. All this has been in addition to his
regular duties as bank cashier, from which
he has scarcely been absent a day, and in adj
dition, also, to his big organ fight, which he
pushed with untiring yigor.
In all these things, it is needless to say,
there has been no halfway work with him
it was either all or nothing. How many
minor items of individual or public enterprise
we have omitted from our list we cannot un,
dertake 10 say, Certain it is that while the
man was pushing all these varied interests
he was at the same time carrying load Of
crime, liable at any moment TO fall and crusl
him. It is now entirely evident why he con
trived, though often in New York, Spring

have made him known TO all the people of
the country who take any interest in public

The Responsibility.

Much has been said, and, in large measure
well said, in connection with our ruined bank
and S. NJ Waite's rascaities about the re-
sponsibility Of dire ctoIs Of banks ard other
similar institutions Of trust. We desire to 90
n step farther and say word about the re-
sponsibility of stockholders A gentleman of
this village who held a considerable block of
the First National stock, and who has as
much reason as any body to feel sore over the
disastrous state Of affairs, informs us that at
the successive annual meetings of the corpor-
alton for years it las been impossible to get
out stockholders enough TO make even n re-
spectacle show Of attendance, and that it has
been often only ly persistent drumming
about the street that enough could be
got in to transact the necessary business.
For such a state Of things there can be no ex-
cuse. The directors may have weakly allow
ed themselves to be hoodwinked or bulldozod,
but this was no reason why, amid the preva-
lent feeling of dstrust, the stockholders
should not have gone to the annual meetings
in body, and by their votes and their united
voice have compelled radical examination
of the banks affairs. In spite of Waites de-
termination not to have the thing done, and
of his willy methods to prevent it, the stock
holders had it in their power TO overturn the
whole management, elect n new board Of d.
rectors and 90 TO the bottom of things. But
as whole they evidently were too easy, too
dilatory and too much inclined 10 shirk re-
sponsibility 10 do this The result Of their
folly they have reapod, and they cannot throw
the whole responsibility ON TO the directors.
We do not say this to smooth over or excuse
any real or apparent dereliction On the part
of the directors For them we can only re-
peat what we said last week, that we do not
understand, nor have We ever been able to
understand, how they could consent to re-
main in intimate and responsible relations
with a man, TO be connected with whom in
any sort of public trust or Office was inevita-
bly, to be a mere figure head or useless side
light. For any person, be he a bank stock
holder, or simply member Of the body poll
tic, to constantly shiIk his individual RESPONSE
bility, and not in the end suffer the disas-
trous consequences, is an impossibility. 1t is
this sort of easy and procrastinatng avoid
ance of duty which permits banks to become
rotten, social organizations TO be run for pri.
vate and selfish ends, and politics and politi-
cal parties TO become hopelessly corrupt.
The moral of the sermon is of universal APP
plication-it hits every member of the con-
gregation.
