William Huse.

Yesterday morning about o'clock a
daughter of Mr.. William Huse had occasion
to visit an apartment in their house on Lin
coin street, when she discovered her father
lying there in an unconscious condition. DR..
Merrill was summoned and pronounced it a
case of paralysis. At noon Mr.. Huse expired.
He had apparently been in good health up to
yesterday, and on Thursday visited the islands,
and in the evening the Almshouse.
MIR. Huse was the son of former surveyor
OF lumber of this city, a man Of very positive
character, and his son inherited all his father
traits. He was born in 1910 and was conse-
quently II years old at the time Of his death.
He was apprenticed in early youth to the
trade of cabinet making, but soon left it to en-
gage in politics. In early life he was pro-
nounced Wing, but when the Republican
party was formed he became an enthusiastic
Republican. For the past thirty-fve years
he has been almost continually in office He
was deputy sheriff under Gov. Paris; was
city marshal in '61-2 under Mayor Thomas;
was for many years assistant city assessor, and
warden for ward 3; a city constable, and men,
Der of the Republican city committee, and
overseer OF the poor. During Gov. Wash
burns relationship he was an inspector of
customs.
Mr. Huse was an excellent official, but he
was very set in his ways and consequently
made many enemies, as II honest officials are
apt to. He was twice married and leaves two
daughters. lie was member of the Citizens
Relief and Aged Brotherhood at the time of
his decease. For some time past he has been
engaged in the lumber business.

The question has often been asked, how
Cashier Baldwin was able to hoodwink the
government expert, who, in 1880. examined
the books Of the NJ chanics' National bank
Of Newark. A story patty answering this
question comes from trustworthy source.
In ono OF the other years examiners were
sent to the bank. Their first days work
was in such direction that it did not
worry the cashier; but the second day they
were likely TO get dangerously near to facts
discovered that both tue x.mnc,s were
the Esse1 Club house, in P .rk Pkce. and
then sent for friend who could talk horse.
The friend appeared, and entertained
the examiners with interesting
facts and opinions about trot-
ters. and while he talked to his new friends
drank costly wine. When they returned to
the bank to complete the examination they
were in pleasant mood, and Baldwin
turned ic and helped them through with
their work. On the following day nothing
remained for them to do but to ascertain
that Baldwin's statement of the banks &C.
count with the Merchants bank of ::is city
should he verified. Baldwin wrote a tele.
gram to the New York cashier. asking for
statement In time a telegram, giving
figures substantially the same as were on
Baldwin's books, was received apparently
from the New York bank. 1t is said that
the telegram from Baldwin did not go
through any telegraph Office in New York.

some private wire. But the response was
made over q Telegraph company's vie.

A Southern l'yDe.

In the south one coon meets the young
man, a lawyer, or editor, or physic an, who
will talk for hours, to any one who Will
listen, OF the superiority of tho south, its
people and its civilization. ever the north
and everything Eorthern. He always talks
we'll, and is usually C very good fellow. but
he proceeds t:.tireiy upon the priori
method, and his conclusions have little
relation to the facts of life. He knows
little Of his own region IF the country, and
nothing whatever OF any other. Young
men of this type always dwell with proud
and endless iteration on "the super;o. pu-
rity Of southern won en-" Their persistence
always brings the mere fact of chastity
moro nakedly and definitely before the
mind than seems "! olcsorne or de.ira-
bic to persons who have seen moro of life
and of the world. These youthful eulog-
gsts appear to think that it is virtue which
is almost unknown except in the southern
states. They 60 not recognize the fact
which is of great importance in any real
discussion of this feature of orr civilization,
that the women of another race. formerly
helpless and now deg,aded. have always
formed a protecting barrier between the Ii
centious passions of Southern white ncn
and the women of their own race. I do
not suppose tho best women of the South
have any superiors on earth. but their i'm
nlunity from temptation and wrong has cost
other women dear.
What youny men of this class most need
is wider observation and larger knewl-
edge of the world, or. especially Of their
own country. They would thus, in time,
understand how much better it is for our
young men to be penetrhe,l and inspired
by the idea of being Americans than 10 be
always dwelling upon the fact that they are
natives OF Virginia, or Massachusetts, or
New Jersey. There is really 10 harm in
hement utteranoes regarding subjects with
which they have but slight &C iraintance
have sometimes furnished convenient ma
terial for the nse of northern politicians
who were hostile to the south.
