THE PUZZLED BANKER.

MIR. DUFF, the worthy and respect
lVI ed agent of the Central Bank at
Tollkirk, was startled by his teller, Jas.
Hamilton, coming to him to say, just as
the banker had signed the last official
letter before proceeding to lock up the
safe: 81 am sorry to say, sir, the cash
appears to be one hundred pounds
short" James was very pale as he
spoke, and, despite his efforts to prevent
it, his voice trembled. A stranger could
not have told whether the youths agita-
ton was the result of fright or guilt.
Mr.. Duff knew him too we'll to let
the latter alternative dwell in his mind
for even a moment; but the lads ex-
citement was somewhat infectious, and
it was with just little throb that he
replied: YOU'RE joking, jamie" Mr..
Duff leaned back in his chair and nib
bled the feather end of his quill as he
looked into the lads face.
81 never was more serious in my
life," reiterated Hamilton.
''It is some mare 's-nest, depend upon
it," said Mr.. Duff in a tone that partly
treasured the young fellow. g Have
you been very busy at the desk to-day,
James?"
'That is the mystery of it, sir; we
have not been. busy. Hardly three
pages of our cash. book are filled"
"A hundred pounds! Hml am
going up stairs to dinner. In the mean
time, check your summations and your
cash, and by-and-by I'll come in to lock
upthe safe with ye.'
The teller went from the banker
room to the outer Office with very
grave face. Mr.. Duff,swho lived with
his family, as is customary in Scotland,
in the very commodious house attached
to the bank, sent his letters TO be copied
by the junior clerk, and then went leis-
urely up stairs to dinner.
Mr.. Duff was, for man who does not
object to permanent residence in pro-
vincial town, very easy and pleasant
mode of life. His work WAS not hard,
nor were his responsibilities very heavy.
He had pretty and comfortable home
in an old fashioned country town,

Short in HIa Accounts.

| WASHINGTON, d. c., May 27.-It ap-
pears that John G. Thompson, who has
1 been sergeant-atarms of the house OF
representative since 1874, is behind In
his money accounts with the members
TO congress. The regular way for the
congressman TO get their money is from
Jhe United States treasury, on certifi-
Gates signed by the speaker of the house.
For convenience, the custom has grown
up for the sergeat-at-arms 70 draw the
money from the treasurer on these GER
tiflcates and then the congressman draw
ON the sergeant-at-arms as they
need the money. The Office of ser
geant-at-arms is conducted on the order
OF bank of deposit for members.
Thompson, as did his predecessors, would
draw large sums of money, keep il on
hand and cash checks of members of
Congress when presented TO him. It
seems he kept his own pay and accounts
along with all others, and in using mon
ey he had on hand he went beyond his
own funds and is unable to NEE. the
checks of congressman who did not
draw their pay up to time. 1t some
times happens that members leave mon
ey in the hands of the sergeantat-arms
for months. Under the new rules
Thompson's bond Is $4,000, but as it is
not, under the law, his duty to pay con.
gressmen, il is claimed that his bonds |
men cannot be held for the deficit 1t is
claimed in behalf of Thompson that in |
handling such enormous sums of money |
as he has, some members have been &C. |
commodated beyond what was due |
them, and that in settling up Thompson |
will make everything good and square ]
up To every dollar.

POPULARIZING THE SCRIP
TURES.

The revision of the holy scriptures
promises to be a perfect means of popu-
lariZing them with the people. The
American people, as a rule, are rushing
through life In such hurry that some
attractive means mast be adopted to
catch their attention upon any subject
The ordinary methods employed to get
the people to read the Bible will do for
those fixed in their belief and habits,
but If the outside world is brought into
subsection TO the rule of the Master,
the outside worlds attention to the
means of grace must first be attracted.
1t is proclaimed that Christ 'came not
to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance" and it has ever been ser
ious question with scriptural people
how to get the attention of the world.
This revision seems to have attracted
more notice To the inspired writings than
anything which has ever been done.
The work of revision, as it has proceed
ed, has received thorough advertising,
for years, and now that it is completed
the metropolitan papers are
publishing the New Testament
entire. This is the most attrac-
tive form in which the pages of holy
writ could be given to the people. 1t is
likely to secure for them a more
thorough reading with large class Of
people than they have ever had before
They naturally want to see what changes
have been made. They will be read
in the new form, with interest. The
newspapers have given the newly re
vised Bible a boom, and undoubtedly
four or five millions of copies of the
new and old books have been dispOseC
OF. The old standing joke that an en-
terpFising editor somewhere was pub
fishing chapters of the scriptures a
matters of news TO his readers, has be
come q reality, and the leading paper
everywhere are publishing the changes
portions, or else are commenting upOl
and calling fresh attention to the gOo'
work. When the newspapers begin +
aid in the work of disseminating th
lessons of the Bible the good bool
will be more thoroughly read than
ever has been.

The committee OF investigation ap-
pointed by the secretary are said to be

this matter, and will probe its iniquity
TO the bottom. This is what the public
demands. The people want thorough
ventilation OF alt peculation In Office, to
the end that the government service may
be purified and an honest and economi-
cal administration Of the public affairs
secured. A man who is guilty of a mis-.
appropriation of the public funds has
forfeited all claims to conf

should be allowed to stand in the
way of his free exposure. No party can

MBER CANE. OR SORGHUM.
Condensed Directions for the Culture of
This Important Product.

The discovery and development of
amber cane, its hardness in Northern
attitudes. and its proved success as SUI
gar-producing cane. have given a new
impetus to the cultivation of sorghum,
which bids fair to make it an important
and permanent farm crop throughout
the Northwest. For the purpose of aid
ing the inexperienced, the following con-
densed directions have been compiled
from the most approved sources. on the
culture of this Important product:
SEED.-Purc seed should be obtained
from reliable sources, using, say, two or
three pounds to the acre. Seed should
be obtained from n different locality
every two or three years, as experience
has shown that it deteriorateS by repeat
ed replanting in the same locality.
SOFIA rich, warm, sandy loan, with
sandy or grayelly subsoil, is the best for
cane, but it will grow wherever corn
will. Undertaking benefits this crop
perhaps more than any other. A very
rank black soil produces large crop,
but inferior sugar. Sour, mucky, wet
soil should be avoided. High lands are
much the safest from early frosts.
PREPARATION OF THE SOIL. Tho
roots of sorghum run very deep; they
have been traced TO the depth OF four
feet. Therefore pillow deep, subsOil if
possible thoroughly work, and well
pulvcriZe. Manure the year before, or
use wcll-rotted manure gin the spring,
but never fresh or raw. A crop of clo-
yer turned under The year before is
capital preparation.
PLANTING.-Plant carly, even before
corn. An early start is very important
when the frosts come early, as the plant
grows very slowly at first Plant half
an inch deep, and in rows three feet
apart each way, and ten or twelve seeds
in hill. When well.started, thin out
to from five to eight good, strong plants.
CULTURE.-The young plant is tender
and grows slowly. Care should he TAX
en- lest the weeds get the start. With
the above extra caution the same care
should be taken as with Indian corn.
HYRRIDIZATIoN.-T evil should be
carefully avoided. Different kinds OF
cane, if planted too near, will hybridize
with broom corn, doura-cOrn, and all the
millet family; and, in some localities
the corn has been badly deteriorated for
lack of care in this respect. Some con-
tend that it will hybridize with Indian
corn, but others doubt it. 1t is said
Siberian cane will not mix with any
thing.
Last years crops of sorghum were
very satisfactory, and perhaps double
the amount will be raised this year.
Thee years ago it was seldom seen in

THE AMERICANS HOPE ABROAD.
American ARricn1turiat

We have gained a market for our
meats and grains, not to mention fruits
(apples, etc., on the other side of the
Atlantic, and we are sanguine of being
able to keep it. The prosperity and
peace of foreign powers will have its
influence, and the crops which the Irish
and English can grow in the years
to come, will increase or diminish the
demand for outside supply, but however
prosperous they may hope TO be, our
meat and grain will find more or less
ready market in London and the con-
tinental cities. With a market that
may be considered as tolerably
secure, the American cattle grow
ers should do all they can TO develop it
by devoting their attention to the
Improvement of the quality of their
meat, at the same time practising the
greatest economy ia feeding. We need
to increase the number of our first-class
animals. There are thousands OF herds
that require introduction of pure-blood
bulls to greatly increase their value.
Some one has very truly said, "a bull is
not be overlooked in improving the
quality of American meat, is the early
maturity of animals. and this can be at
tanned by using breeds in which this Is
prominent Characteristic. Much can
also be done by breeding 10 this same
end. With such sufficient care in the
management of our vast herds, and the
facilities for growing beef eheapiy, we
need not fear the sharpest competition
in the foreign market
