The Defaulting Treasurer.
The Bond and Record.

The law requires the official bond of the
Treasurer to be kept in the Office of the Au-

is known as the bond book, required 70 be
kept in the Office of the Secretary Of State.
The original bond is now found to be miss
ing from the Auditors Office; from which
it was taken without the Auditors knowl-
edge or consent. Several weeks ago, soon
after the Treasurer was ordered to make
his bond, he went into the Secretary OF
States Office and asked that the record
book be loaned him in order, he said, to
draw up new bond by the copy of the old
one. The bond was loaned him and that is
also missing. What Mr.. Vincent did with
il can only be surmised, but it is supposed
he either took it away with him or destroy
From his known connection with the dis
appearance of the record book, it is con-
cluded that MIR. Vincent is responsible for
the disappearance OF the original bona
from the office of the Auditor. These are
the only acis OF deliberate prepar .tion for
disclosures he must have known were COM
lug that has yet been discovered.

City or Countryl

Our people are slowly crowding in
to the cities, towns and villages.
This movement has been kept up for
years and does not decrease. Why !?
Can any one point out the advant-
ages gained by the people who con-
glegate in cities Do they make
their life purer and happier, or their
children more independent? Are their
children better fed and clothed or
better trained and educated ? Is the
doctors bill for parent and children
less and the call for the undertaken
less frequent ?
Experience. dearly bought. teaches
that for the majority of the people
who seek the allurements oftown life
the advantages in the things named
are with their friends and neighbors
left benin in the country. The man
who, without a trade or profession
moves large family into a town,
must altogether too certainly pass
throuA b all the stages Of privation,
want and poverty, ending sometimes
in shame and disgrace. The chill
dren reduced to rags and thrown on
the streets learn lessons in all the
vices that lead to the prison and the
penitentiary.
Generally towns are already well
stocked with servants, washerwomen,
cooks, carriage-drivers, and the like.
Any increase Of the number, only
serves TO cut down the already starv-
ing rates Of these laborers. Any
healthy, industrious man can earn
more, live more respectfully, and feel
more like q free American citizen, as
a farmer, than as a mere menial.
All that is needed to better the
condition Of orr farming class is lit.
tie more thrift and economy-more
hogs raised, and chickens, turkeys
and fowls generally; a smaller whis-
ky and tobacco account; moro school
books and better care of the township
school, and better houses to replace
the untidy log huts. Even without
theee improvements We regard life in
the country a. far preferable to the
wretchsdness endured by large por-
ton Of interpolation Of eur towns
and villages: So bad is their condi-
tion that statistics show that death Is
reaping them ten to one in the ordi-
nary condition of life.
Probably two-t thirds of the people
,of,the towus would do better in the
country. To those who have not yet
made the mistake to move to town,
we would say do not do it. To those
hearty, healthy ysung men not amt :
tious for the professions we would
say, slightly changing Greeley's ad-
vice, go to the country young men,

Vincent was sworn in and began his
third term as Treasurer on November Zo
last. The law requires that, before taking
the oath of office, the Treasurer shall flle
bond of $3.50 900. THIS WAS not done and
the omission is chargeable to the outgoing
Governor Cobb and his administration

nea -ly all of the deficit occurred before
that time the old bondsmen will have to

AID all are good for the money, so that
the State will only lose the deficit in ex-'
cess of the bond.
Vincent is man of middle age, was a.
good confederate soldier, has wife and
two children and was very popular. "
vINCENT's CAREER AND HABITS.
He was for many years Register in Chan
Gerry of Chamoers county; was private
secretary to Governor Houston from 1874
to 1878 was elected State Treasurer in the
latter year, reelected in 1880 and again
last year despite the popular opposition
to third termism. His honesty was his
strong point, as his ability was only mode
rate.
His salary as private secretary was 81, 500
md he lived modesty. AS treasurer he
received So 100 and there was marked
change in the style of his living after he
Wis elected treasurer. 1t was currently
reported that he had made some luck
deals in futures" aud he was supposed
to be living on that. His more recent
style Of living has been luxurious; he has
kept carriage and fine horses, has bought
iiamohds for his wife, silver for his table,
a house to live in has furnished it hand
somely and in all respects was one of the
upper ten, and, to crown all, he was an
amateur of some pretentions as a poker
player.
1t is now said that he lost most of the
States money in "cotton futures" Al
Fred Wolffe's bank alone he bought $119,-
600 of exchange on New York to cover
losses on futures.
All of these drafts were in favor of Fred
Wolfe, and it is thought he and Wolfe
we're engaged in joint speculatlons. He
also bought large amounts from other
banks. ~

Sea Sickness

Just how the pitching and rolling
of ship acts on the human frame so
as to produce the physical and mental
prostration of seasickness is q matter
Of dispute. A theory recently started
by DR.. Irwin, an English physician,
attributes it to the disturbance of the
fluids in the semicircular canals of the
ear. 1t is generally recognized that
irritation of any kind in these passages
produces nausea and vomiting DIR.
Chapman, on the other hand sees the
main prOximate cause of this disorder
in the presence of an undue amount
Of blood in the spinal nervous centres,
which renders the nerves proceeding
from them active, with the result of
disturbing the action of the organs
especially the stomach-whose move
ments they regulate. Another new
writer on the subject. DR.. Carpenter,
is inclined to attribute seasickness to
the continued action Of the brain of a
certain set of sensations, more particu-
larly that Of the want of support.
Nothing is more disagreeab!e than the
feeling consequent on the sudden
giving way of a prop on which
one is leaning, and the repeti-
ton OF this sensation every
time the vessel makes its downward
movement is supposed to produce the
nervous arrangement which manifests
itself in seasickness. DIR. Ellis writes
to the Lancet that he found a complete
remedy in carefully attending to the
motion Of the vessel, and accompany
ing-in his mind. evenly a slight
STOPPING or pressing downward of the
body the sinking down of the vessels
deck. Another medical correspondent
states that he found relief by watching
the motion of the vessel, and, as she
was about to descend, making an ef-
fort as though to force her down. The
Philadelphia Continent says that The
application of light belt round the
lower part of the abdomen mitigate.
the shocks to which, in rough sea,
the nervous system is subjected. The
late DR.. George Boards remedy was
bromide of sodium, taken three times
a day few days before embarking
and kept up at sea till the danger il
: past.
