OF GENERAL INTEREST.
Tho Boston "Ladle.' Depo.,t,, sw,nd,


THE Boston newspapers furnish number
of interesting details of the Ladies' Deposit
swindle in Boston, and OF the so-called Presi-
dent, Mrs. Sarah t. Howe, that have not been
published In the Times specials. She and her
agents have repeatedly declared that their
"bank" was no experiment; that it had been
in operation for forty years in Alexandria,
Va, where It had been founded by capital
furnished from time to time by benevolent
Quakers anxious to aid vrtuous and unpro-
tected women. The object of the Deposit was
never to accumulate money but to benefit
humanity, especially its feminine portion.
Consequently, II was as willing to pay ninety
six per cent. per annum as half o
quarter of that rate. At least three
fourths of tho depositors are asserted
to live out of Boston, and never
TO have drawn their interest when It had
fallen due, which has materially helped the
"bank" to pay of city creditors. The fact
has been revealed that large number of Bos-
ton business men have, slnQularly enough,
raised every dollar they could by selling Sc
curities, household furniture and personal
property in order TO put it in the Deposit.
While they had no faith in its management or
ultimate solyency, they were willing to incur
the risk, reasoning that, If the establishment
should onlylast one year. they would nearly
double their capital, and then draw out the
whole amount. The opinion that most of the
deposits have been from the middle and lower
classes Is entirely erroneous. Many of
the first families in that city are de-
clared TO have intrlistod Mrs. Howe with
the care of their funds to the extent of
from $1,000 to $4,000 each, and to have
sustained, as well as the business men, very
heavy losses. The house in East Brookline
street, where the bank was situated, was most
extensively, though tawdrily, furnished. Sc
many costly articles were bought and carries
there last spring at the time of its remoya
from humber quarters, that the whole neigh
borhood wondered at such luxury. There are,
doubtless, various branches of the Deposit
and not few of the depositors are reported to
be residents of this city. Mrs. Howe's record,
which has been industriously traced, shows to
extreme disadvantage. Her ago is given at
sixty, and she is described as short, fat, very
ugly, and so iliterate rs TO be unable to write
an English sentence, or to speak without max
ing shameful bunders. How such a woman
could have been SO successful u swindler defies
conjecture.-N. Y. Times.

Three Rrnre Rnvs.

ON the afternoon of the Seawanhaka disas-
ter, last summer, three boys, Fred II. Wight
man, Herbert II. Dean and Edward L. Lamb
were fishing in rowboat near the loat of the
Knickerbocker Yacht Club. As they saw the
burning steamer coming through the Gate,
they sprang to their oars, and rowed pluckily
to the rescue. They reached the shore of
Wards Island just MS the steamer grounded,
and theirs was the second boat on the spot; the
brave boys succeeded in rescuing fourteen
persons, among whom was the Captain of the
steamer. The matter came to the attention
of the Irving Club, an association composed
of prominent residents of Harlem and il was
unanimously voted to make public recOgni-
uon OF the gallant conduct of the boys by pre-
senting to them gold medals. The medals are
handsome pieces, made by Tiffany. On one
side is representation of the boys i'm their

A Remarkable Case.

THERE died on Tuesday last at Bayview
Asylum one of the most singular persons that
has ever hved-a female with a woman's head
and the body and arms of a child. Visitors to
Bayview have noticed this singular case, and
1t has attracted largely the attention of med
ical men. Her name was Kate Dashields She
was received in the old County Almshouse in
1882 with her mother. THE latter died of the
cholera and the child has been cared for ever
since by the city. On the separation of coun-
ty and city and the erection of Bayview Asy-
lum for the city poor Kate was removed to
the latter place. During all the time she has
been in the institution her head has grown
with each day and year until it be-
came the head of woman, but below
the neck nature was at stand-still
She occupied to the day of her death the
childs chair she occupied when three years
Old, and slept in the same cradle. Her arms
and hands were beautiful, and she would show
them with great pride to each visitor. This
vanity was about the only womanly trait she
exhibited, and with the exception of being
alive to remarks complimentary to the white
ness and perfection of her hands and arms
she seemed to be insensible to all else passing
round her. This singular creature was sub
ject 10 epilepsy, and this is what caused her
wonderful condition. She ate and slept well,
and seemed in her usual health up to fifteen
minutes before her death, when she was
seized with an epileptic fit, from which she
never recovered. Katie was forty-eight years
of age at the time of her death. Forty-five of
these she was cared for at the county Aims
Eouse and Bayvew Asylum, and it is perhaps
attributable TO the care and treatment she re-
ceived In those institutions that she had sur
Vived so long.-BdltimOre Gazette.

The Honest BOOtbIack.

ONE day, as | sat at my ol1ice-desk
writing busily, heard knock at the
door. Come in said L.
The door opened, and there stood q
small boy, very ragged and rather dirty.
"What do you wantP'' asked, sharply;
for was ANNOYED ut the interruption.
"Please, sir" said the boy, will you
set me upF"
1t was such queer request that
laughed outright. "Set you up?" said
l. "You are not bowling pin, are
youP What in the world do you mean?"
please, sir, want to be set up in
business"
"oh! you want me to give you some
money"
"No, sir, only want to borrow"
"And how much do you want?"
"Only twenty cents, sir"
t"What kind of business will that set
you up IMP"
1.-The newspaper business, sir.
want to buy papers"
"And you promise to pay the money
back?"
Yes, SIR"
There was something about the boy
that pleased me, | handed him two
dimes, and he went away. A friend
who happened in, Just as was closing
the transaction, expressed the opinion
that had been imposed upon. "You
will never see that little rogue again"
said he.
Day after day passed, and began to
think that my friend was right. The
boy had not come back. But, Just as
had about given him up, he appeared.
and repaid the money honestly. | was
so pleased that made him a present
of the amount, and added trife to it.
Two years or more afterwards, L
stopped one day at street-corner to
have my shoes cleaned. AS placed my
foot on the block, the bootblack looked
up in my face, and said, 81 should like
TO shine your shoes for nothing, sir"
"Why SOP" said |.
"Don't you remember, sir, how you
set me upP'
Then 1 recognized my old acquaint-
ance, though he had grown so that
should hardly have known him. He
was thriving, he told me, in his new
line of business, and had no occasion
now to borrow any more money.
He had improved greatly in his looks,
and, what was better, he had been inn
proving himself in many other ways.
He had learned to read aud write, and,
being ready to turn his hand to any
honest work, he was trying bravely to
make his way in the world.
All this happened good while ago.
l kept watch of that boy, and took great
pleasure in finding that my first impress
sion of him was correct. Whatever he
undertook to do he did with will, and
he soon found better employment
than backing shoes.
He is now prosperous merchant,
and, if were to tell you his name, you
would hardly believe that he ever could
have been Tom, the bootb.ack. Alfred

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

AN International Sanitary Congress
will be held at Washington in January,
1881, under the authority of the Govern
ment.
PROF. SILvEsTRI finds that the sum-
init of Mount Etna has been lowered
about forty feet as a result of recent vol
canic activity.
UNDER favorable conditions the chest
nut and the oak will live thousand
years. The beech and the ash live less
than half as long.
THE attraction of the earth upon a
magnetic needle ut its surface has been
found to be about the same as that of a
strongly magnetized hard steel bar
forty inches long at distance of one
foot.
AN appropriation bill passed by the
United States House of Representatives
provides for survey of the Gulf Stream
from its origin to the Saragossa Sea.
The plan embraces soundings, deep-sea
temperatures, and observations of the
currents.
IT has been proposed to utilize the
swift current of rivers by systems of an
chored floats carrying current wheels
connected with dynamo-electric appa-
ratus. The electricity thus generated
might be used for almost any purpose
for which power is required, as well as
for lighting towns.
ANOTHER lake village, assigned by
experts to the age of bronze, has been
discovered at Auvenier, near Neuchat Ell.
Several millstones quite new, others
half made, have been brought to light,
from which it is inferred that the place
may have been the seat of manufac-
tory of these articles.
THE size attained by icebergs is some
times prodigious. From measurements
made upon one, DIR. Hayes estimated it
to contain about 27,000,000, feet,
while its weight must have been not less
than / 900, 900 tons. 1t was grounded
in water nearly half mile in depth
What, then, must have been the thick
ness and size of the glacier from which
this mass had become detached.
A VERY curious proof of the identity of
animal and vegetable protoplasm has
been supplied by Claude Bernard, who
has shown that both are alike sensitive
to the influence of an9sthetics. Ex-
posed to ether, q sensitive plant no
longer closed its leaflets when touched
Assimilation and growth, as well as
termination, are arrested by chloro-
form. Schuztenberger has proved that
the fresh cells of the yeast plant breathe
| like an aquatic animal.
