spoke in the whining tone of a ruined
man. He was pincher of other men
and screwed the salaries of every one in
his employ down to the last notch. He
was all encysted in money-making. He
had no blood in his heart for anything
in Gods world besides accum ulsting
money. "Did il ever occur to You.
said the man who was content when he
got what with care would keep him as a

Clark Mills Furnace.

The late Clark Mills was man OF or
iginal ideas and determination to carry
them into effect. Thirty-one years ago,
when he built furnace in Washington,
in which to melt the bronze for his great
statue of jackson, scientific men ridi-
culed him for constructing it partly uu-
derground. Away down there. they said,
there would not be oxygen enough to
melt bronze. He answered that he would
secure sufficient heat by preventing its
escape through the chimney. On q
South Carolina farm. he said, he once
knew heavy iron chain to be missing.
After long search it was found melted
into sbapeless, at the bottom of char
coal pit. II there was heat enough con-
fined in that pit TO melt iron, he felt sure
that he could melt bronze in his half
underground furnace. So he persevered,
and the logic Of events in time proved
he was right.

Great excitement has been caused throughout

that State Treasurer Vincent had decamped
after having absorbed a large amount Of the

secured by good bondsmep. 1t has devel-
oped that the money was taken in the last
two years aud nearly all before November
last. Vincent, by the statement Of a witness
before the committee, lost over Sl00, 900 in
cotton through one house, Fred Wolfe, end
some through Others. 1t is surmised he
may have loaned some. The governor has
taken charge of the keys Of the treasury.
