Treasury Department CrOOkedness.


II begins to appear that the forged
thousand dollar bonds executed by
Brockway and his pals are sufficiently
genuine to worry the Treasury officials.
By some means, at present not clearly
Known, parts of plates were stolen or
loaned from the Treasury Department
and used in the production of thousand
dollar bonds. In the spurious securities
the figures '1OOO," the geometric lathe
work. and the vignettes, in the opinion of
experts, are genuine and executed from
government plates. The Bureau of En-
craving and Printing boots at the posi-
bility of the plates being procured by
outside parties. Its officers insist that
the plates in question were melted up,
and could not be deposited in the
Treasury.
Nevertheless, Secretary Folger has
evidence that they were not melted until
1879. Brockway, too, practically admits
that the plates used were genuine. What
will be the outcome of these discoveries
is uncertain, but it is said that several
Treasury officials are likely to come to
grief. Furthermore, it is feared that
other plates have found their way out of
the Treasury, among them a silver Ger
tifcate plate.
1t is questionable if 1.-THE of the ras-
cality covered up within the walls Of the
Treasury Department will ever see the
light; certainly not until a change of
control takes place. Discrepancies exist
in the records of the transactions of the
department that the Radicals religiOusly
guard from investigation. The shrcwdest
business men and bank directors are
daily hoodwinked by expert employees,
and blinded by altered figures and other
devices. 1t would be strange, if, after
their long experience, some of the Treas
ury officials and underlings have not
prohted by their abundant opportunities.
Thomas Ewing in one of his charac-
teristic campaign speeches remarked that
when a settler wished 10 see if his cabin
was air and water-tight he went inside
and closed the door. He could then see
chinks and holes that were invisible from
the outside. So it is with the Treasury.
The Radical managers are on the inside,
and the doors are barred against inquiry.
Once they are opened and new servants
of The people admitted, the true state of
affairs within can be learned. The
enormous revenues drawn annually from
the people are in themselves a temptation
that might try the virtue of better men
than those who have for years past been
entrusted with their custody A change
is needed, if for no other purpose than
TO take an account of the peoples stock
and show what leaks have occurred.
The few that have come to light justify
the conclusion that more exist.

bequeathed to her By an aunt. She bad
only given him eighty dollars, although they
had been married over two months. She
added that on account OF her refusal 20
agree TO legal separation her husband hao
threatened to take her life. He denied en-
p5aticallY that he had threatened her, out
acknowledged that be desired to be sepa-
rated from her, as be considered that enc
was crazy. The Justice dismissed the COM

Lucas Hirst was q Philadelphia lawyer
snd started his legal career as an ONCE boy
in Attorney General Brewster's office. He
was of more than saving disposition, for out
of his earnings, which consisted mostly of
small fees. he managed to amass fortune
of nearly 500. O00 Even In his most pros
porous days his expenses rarely exceeded IS
per week. Not long ago be went TO the Law
Library TO look up certain law, and point
ing TO a volume asked II he might oorroW IL
for a few minutes. He was Informed that
by paying $40 annually he would have free
range of the entire library, and that oOly In
that way could he have access to the books.
Greatly disguised, he left, and made known
his intention to several friends that at his
death he would found q free law library,
which, he asserted, every city In the Union
ought to have. Last Saturday he died, and
il was found that he had kept his word, for,
excepting annuities for bis three sisters VINO
live in poor circumstances, his entire estate
will 90 to the establishment Of the Hirst
Free Law Library.
Writing upon ants a naturalist remarks
that among the habits aud customs of some
species is one which he dares not set down
as a mark OF civilization lest he should in
cur the censure Of the Anti-Slavery Society.
Il is, however, true that certain species Of
ants make systematic raids upon their
neighboEs, in order to rob them of their
larv& aud pupe. which they convey to their
own nest, and bring up with care as their
own children, In order that they may De-
come their slaves; and It Is at least curious
coincidence that the slaves most frequently
selected are black ants, Forniica ni9ra,
although the slave makers are not very
particular, and Mr.. Frederick Smith, the
author OF "British Formicid@, found
workers Of FoTnatca ttsSca, FOymlica
tara, and a few individuals of Hyr-
m,ca r7t5rG, living in communities, all
OF which had probably been stolen
one species Of ants, F6lyergats r,gescens, is
simply a warrior; its mandibles are not
adapted for working, but are excellent as
weapons; and it has become so dependent
upon its slaves that It can neither attend to
It's own larvae nor feed nor clean itself. To
deprive this species Of its slaves would be
equivalent to cOndemniDg IL to extinction.
Strange TO say, on the return OF the warrior
ants from an expedition If they bring no
puE e the slaves receive them with threaten
ing gestures, and seem inclined to resist
their entrance; but II the warriors return
loaded with captives the slaves hasten to
caress them and relieve them of their loads,
to which they attend with great care.
