IDr TELEGRAPH THE TRIBusE.l
BOsToN, April 10.-Vogel Brothers, firm
OF Hong Kong. China, have succeeded fn swindling
merchants in Europe, NewYork and Boston. The total
loss In New-York and Boston will amount to about
sl25,0o0 Last year the firm bought a vessel and
cargo. ond Immediately offered to sell In New-York
the staple goods for cost and freight expenses.
Such offers quickly taken and the New-York mer
chnnts awaited the result Of their bargains But when
tho vessel arrived they called upon TO freight
sum almost large enough TO buy the ship and certainly
sufficient to bring the of the goods up to the full
market rates But recently the firm adopted more
illegitimate methods. Late in 1881 q NewYork sugar
refinery ordered by cable from Vogel Brothers
cargo OF sugar, stating that telegraphic letter
OF credit would be sent soon AZ
instructions could reach London bankers to that effect
Vogel Brothers Immediately shipped cargo OF Chinese
sugar OF poor quality 1t is stated, and local banker
paid the firm the price presentation OF the cable
order with bills OF lading Ten days later the tee
graphic letter OF credit received from London,
wheseupon Yogel Brothers Immediately shipped
second cargo and successfully negotiated real letter
OF credit with another Hong Kong banker Meantime
the telegraphic order and bills Of lading sent
TO London for collection and the BANKERS, knowing
the cargo had arrived cashed 1t. But by tho next
the real letter of credit which being GEN
uine, the banking house obliged cash The loss
therefore, fell upon the bankers, the cOnsgnees refusing
To accept the second cargo.
The next victims were European silk merchants. The
Nogels received In all during the first months OF the
present year orders for about 900 bales of first grade
SIX. Payment was received before shipment as in all
cases, the value OF the goods being nearly 5000
bale. Within short time the goods
reached England and France. The bales were found
TO be made up of an outside dressing OF fourth grade
1t estimated that the loss to English and French
dealers by this operation amounts to over - 100000

[We are pleased to give the follow ing valuable suggestion on the topIc of Shade Trees piace in our col umns. It is pertinent, and should set business men to thinking.
 ED. HERALD Your reference to the cottonwood-tree nuisance in late issue is of more importance to the future welfare of this valley than the casual observer would suppose. At present tEe trees cultivated are of no value, except for shade, and q filthy shade at that. Ii those who own the lands and ditches would manifest an interest outside of bacon. beans, and barley will jut look at the beautiful. thrifty, and valu ble ash trees growing here in Phenix, they will understand, if they will only reflect, that the cultivation of the ash and other similar hard woo1s means the furnishing of timber for farming machinery, wagons, and many articles in mining implements which must, Tn few years. be man. among us.

can do so from our just and
 honest convictions; when we
 garble their acts and misrep-
 resent their positions we de-
 clare ourselves vicious and
 cowardly and void of the senti-
 ment of truth; in fact we de-
 clare their opinion, their ideas,
 beyond us and our power to
 cope wi h them; we become
 self = acknowledged imbeciles
 who can only win by trickery and drceit. A man may be wrong and be thoroughly hon est and we in the same condi- tion, may oppose him or he
 may be right and we honestly wrong; in either case we con- not lose our self-respect nor do we challenge the disrespect of others. When, however, we manifest'y distort his posi- ton for the purpose of effect we deserve the judgment which is sure to follow, judg- ment that condemns us as weak and destitute of the very first principle of probity.
 The political press of today, we are sorry to acknowledge, too often places itself in position to have it's motives and it's honesty seriously ques-' toned, and nowhere is 1t more apt to disgrace itself than where dealing in local political cheff. Too often 1t disgraces itself with unwarrantable and mean personal twaddle which can only tickle the ear of per sonal spite, but which can never achieve Q public demand or grace the triumph of any party. Men are too intelligent md too wide awake now days o attribute any force whatever o, or to be influenced in any manner whatever, by driveling appeals to their prejudices.
