Why Rogues Thrive in Our Banks.

There is hardly dedication on record, in connection with banks or other tinan- cial institutions, the details of which do not show that the long continued dishon- esty had been plainly written upon the books of the concern for months before it was accidently discovered. Were those charged with the examination of the accounts to make proper scrutiny of the books Gin which are forced balances), and not rest satisfied with simply count, ing the cash on hand (which, of course, is sure to tally with the forced balances), most of the rouges discovered only when they have brought the bank to ruin, would be detected in their rascality be- fore they had succeeded in effecting much damage. It is only the burglar from outside the bank, who boldly robs the safe and makes the deficit at once ap- parent; the thief within the banks doctors ! the books first, so that the cash missing from the strong box is not noticed by the easy going examiners from the Board O.
 Directors. There is but one way to pre-
 vent the skillful robbery from within the passage of law making the examin
 ing directors individually responsible fo
 every dollar lost through false entrie
 upon the books which they are supposed
 to examine, but which they seldom,
 ever. scrutinize. York Herald.

Marriage of Ex-Governor Sprague.

Ex-Governor William Sprague, of Providence, R. l., was married at the Virginia Hotel, in Staunton, Va., on Thursday, to Dora Inez Calvert, former ly of Connecticut, but lately resident of West Virginia, and claiming 8 resi- dence in Staunton, Va. A letter from Staunton, says: The troubles of this couple in securing their marriage license were somewhat remarkable. The groom elect arrived on Wednesday afternoon and busied himself in endeavors to pro- cure license and induce the rector of the Episcopal church here to perform the ceremony. The effort to obtain a li- cense was first made at the office of the County Clerk. Failing in this, by req son of the fact that the clerk could not and would not issue license to parties neither of whom were residents of Au- gusta county, the ex-Governor went tc the clerks office of the corporation. Here, after many difficulties, and witE the consent of the City Attorney, the license was at length secured. The ceremony took place at the hotel above named and was performed by the Rev w. D. Hullihen, formerly cadet in thu Confederate service and an officer of Gen eral J. B. B. Stuart's staff; not without
 however, careful inquiry of ex-Gov
 ernor Sprague as to his divorce from hi
 former wife. Having taken legal advic finally, MT. Hullihen submitted certai
 questions to the ex-Governor, which, be , ing satisfactorily answered, the ceremon , was performed. It was not known tha the bride was also divorcee until tn marriage ceremony had taken place
 after which it transpired that she wa 7 lately divorced from MT. Calvert, no
 citizen of Cincinnati. The ex-GoN ernor put down his age at fifty-one an 3 the bride at twenty-three. Tue brida y couple left last night on the one a. m F train for northward.

A Frightful Death.

Information has been received of the frightful death of two over-,larlng aeronauts in Madrid under peculiarly horrible circumstances. It appears that Captain Mayet and an assistant ascended in balloon in Madrid, before an immense concourse of people. When the balloon had reached height of about 1000 feet Captain Mayet got out upon a trapeze suspended from the basket and began his performances. The trapeze was seen to break and the performer lost his hold. While in the air he turned over and over many times. He struck the stone pavement an unrecognlzab1e mass. A moment later the balloon con- taining the other occupant was seen te descend with meteoric rapidity, and i crashed with terrible force. against the projecting cave of a house, tilting tho basket and hurling the occupant ou head first. Striking veranda, the mal was precipitated to the ground torn, GU and mangled to such degree that h. died in few moments.

APART.

We meet no more, yet dear you are
 In memory sweet, your face l see With splendor, often from afar
 In thought your presence comes to me I see your form amid the crowd,
 Your tender eyes with beauty gleam, As starbeams, through rifted cloud, Shine on dark and troubled stream. dream of you when sunsets glow
 With crimson light in western skies. You clasp me in your lovely arms,
 gaze into your trustful eyes, hear the throbbing of your heart,
 While closely in my fond embrace feel your kisses on my lips,
 Your warm breath on my swarthy face. Oh, have known what man can bear
 Of bitter wrongs, but they are past, And deep in dark chasms of despair
 My hopeless spirit has been cast. But all my sorrows pass away,
 And have reason to rejoice For have seen your face to-day,
 And heard the music of your voice.

AN AWFUL FATE.
Burned to Death Before Her Husband and
 Surviving Children.

A dispatch from Frederick, Md, dated March &, says: Shortly after midnight the home of MT. Simon Cronise, near New Market, was destroyed, by fire, to- gether with his wife and one of his chil- dren. MT. Cronise is 8 planter, and, with his family, retired last night about nine o'clock, leaving a roaring fire in the kitchen stove, around which quantity of wood had been packed for use ill the morning as usual
 About midnight MT. Cronise and his wife, who slept on the second story, were awakened by the smell of smoke. The house was 8 two story old time log-house, but of good dimensions. A single stairway led from the lower to the upper story. On this second floor there slept, besides MT. and Mrs. Cronise, their seven children, the eldest nineteen, and the youngest two, and an old deaf and dumb man named Henry Plumber. Upon awakening, MT. Cronise rushed down the stairway, and opening the door was met by perfect sheet of flame. He realized the position of those dependent upon him at once, and closing the door directed his wife to smash one of the 1 several small widows (about 16 by 20 inches) and let the smoke escape.
 The children, who were all partially suffocated, were helped by their parents through the windows, the eldest drop ping to the ground fifteen feet below. Then the turn of the little ones came.
 Mrs. Cronise told her husband to jump from the window and she would drop the younger children down to him and would then follow. MT. Cronise did as requested and all the little ones had safely landed in their fathers arms but one, 8 five-year old girl, whom her mother had in her arms and was just in the act of putting out through the window. Then like a flash the old deaf and dumb man darted between them and the window and get ting half way out, hung there in his ter TOT unable to move, and blocking the window from the brave mother and child.
 The husband and children below in safety gazed upon the terrible scene, benumbed in their night clothes by the furious winds, and almost petrifed by terror, for Mrs. Cronise could not reach any other window. She wildly beat the terrified old man upon the hands to make him leave his position and drop to the ground below, so that she might save herself and child. Those below shriekeo to the old man to drop, but he could not hear, and still hung and blocked the win dow, terror stricken.
 The poor woman tore at him madly but to no purpose, for few moments later she sank out of her husbands ant childrens sight into the flames behind her, her child clasped to her bosom. 4 moment later they licked the old man. arms, face and chest, and shrivelled hi gray hair, when he seemed to come t. life and dropped to the ground.
 ) When his wife and child sank back int ; the flames MT. Cronise made rush 10 the house, which was then tumblng in , and it took the united efforts of the eide boys to save him from perishing wit ! her

A COSTLY Doa.-A lawsuit about $5 dog has reached Supreme Court decis- ion ill Boston, at cost of $1 300. Mr.. Palmer passed the summer of 1880 at Winthrop, and had with him his dog, which had been properly licensed in Boston. The Winthrop officials imposed a fine, which he refused to pay, on the ground that the Boston license legalized the brute anywhere in the State. The decision is against him.

BOARDING A TRAIN.
Shooting the Conductor and Brakeman, but
 Robbery Prevented by the Engineer.

Dispatches from Van Buren, Ark, give details of an attempt to rob train on the Little Rock and Fort Smith Rail road, near Van Buren. The outlaws are thought to be residents of the neighbor- hood where the crime was committed, and to belong to that large class of country youths who, by reading yellow back novels and drinking pine-top whisky, imbue themselves with inf1amed ideas of their own powers, and long for an opportunity to make themselves infamous. A commercial traveller for a St. Louis house, who was on the train when the attempted robbery and murder occurred, told the following story of the | crime:
 "The train stopped at & little station called Mulberry, twenty miles from Van Buren, at about 9 o'clock. I saw four rough looking fellows enter the car and pass along the entire length, taking seats near the rear end. I noticed as they passed me that one of them was lad about Is years old, and rather tall and slender. Two of the men were of middle age, large, broad-shouldered fellows, with mustaches, and the fourth was about 25 years old, with sallow com plexion, and 8 short stubby beard. l also noticed that they walked very deliberately through the car, and ap- peared to be sizing up all the passengers, numbering probably thirty five.
 ssIn 8 few moments the conductor, John Gain, entered from the rear, and as i I turned to look at him, saw all four oi the fellows spring to their feet and level revolvers at him. It flashed through my mind that the train was about to be robbed. All the fellows seemed to yell at once to the conductor to stop the train, and the order was accompanied with 8 pistol shot. The conductor fell, and the men then began to shout like Comanche Indians for everybody to hold up their hands. The brakeman at that moment entered the car and received 6 bullet that stretched him out. The bandits then rushed through the car but seemed to be as badly frightened as anybody at what was going on. They made no attempt to rob anyone, but kept up continuous shooting. The conductor had pulled the bell cord il falling, and the train slowed up, but when the firing was begun, it started or again. I saw the fellows run out of the car and leap to the ground. The trai1 dashed on, and before the passenger
 could collect their senses, we arrived a
 Van Bmen. There I was told that whel the firing began inside the car, simul taneous attack was made by several mel
 on the engineer It was said that tiv'
 men (some reports say more and som less) jumped out of the brush and at
 tempted to climb on the engine, bu } that Thomas Rodgers SAW them in tim } to open the throttle and start the trail on and thus prevent the robbery. Tn , conductor and brakeman were both sho 7 in the head, and the physicians say the will die. None of the passengers wer hurt, and nobody was robbed. The au F thorities of Crawford County offered
 reward of $1 ,0O0, and the officials imme 8 diately telegraphed to every static offering $5,OOO for the men. A poss l was armed and mounted in fifteen mir l utes and started in purs,lit.'s

AS Others See Us.


The San Francisco Merchant of June
goth has this good word to say about
Los Angeles county:
Los Angeles is privileged county
among the many privileged counties Of
California. Large areas of its land are
eminently adapted to the growth of
cereals, and its crops of wheat, barley,
oats and rye are all large in area and
liberal to the acre. 1t is one of, il not
the best, corn county in the State. and
some of its corn-helds are equal to the
best of those Of the Western States.
In fruits it has no rival. In citrus
fruits, oranges, lemons and lines it ex-
cells Florida, and in apricots, peaches,
pears, and even apples, and some of the
smaller fruits, it runs even with any
other part of California. Los Angeles
more than holds its own as dairy
county. 1t is great sheep county
still, though its wool product Is becom
ing less and less each year, because the
land is becoming too valuable to be de-
voted to raising wool and mutton. 1t
has number of excellent mining pros
poets, and what is better still, number
Of mines which are making their owners
rich. Even its sage-brush deserts pro-
duce honey and wax in abundance, and
its naked hills and gloomiest cafions are
immense store-houses of petroleum, and
the very mountains, lifting their precipi-
tous sides from 1000 to II, 900 feet into
the heavens, are great reservoirs of wa
ter, containing perennial store of wa
ter sufficient to irrigate and fertilize
thousands upon thousands of acres Of
sterile, gravely, sandy desert, now bear
ing only cactus and other vegetable rub
Dish, and make of them the most pro-
ductive and profitable fruit orchards in
the world. Los Angeles is county so
favored that while its cultivable lands
are amongst the richest in the world, its
widest wastes are directly or indirectly
productive Of wealth.

An. Important Omission.


In the various accounts that come in
of the celebration Of the glorious Fourth,
we perceive remarkable omission OF
one Of the most dramatic scenes in the
nations life. The year 1883 is the cen.
tennial anniversary Of the close of the
war of the Revolution, which terminated
n 1888, and should have been made the
subject Of profound regard on our ma
tional anniversary day. In 1876 we
celebrated the Declaration Of Independ-
ence and the rush to arms, with trumpet
and cannon and bonfres and illumina-
tons. 1t was tit that it should have
been SO then, but in 1888 the memory Of
those that fell in the seven years strife
should have had reyerent mention, and
tbs great sadness aud sorrow that walled
on the winds at Newburgh when the
little army of Washington broke ranks
| fer the last time on the banks OF the
Hudson. 1t was scene that moved the
