Queer Sort of a Joke to Play.

l"NAA-A5NOAA ASSSSAA The cash office of the Treasurer's depart pent in the Treasury building often contains many hundreds of thousands of dollars, and great care is taken against the possible depre &ations of thieves The room is very high Studded and contains 8 gallery which can be Saaaachad hs thaGens-sl AAhlic from the floor Above. The interest clerk is an auburn Haired individual of the most nervous tenn perament, and notwithstanding the fact that he has been in his position for many years he has never lost sight of the tremendous re- sponsibility of handling the vast sums of money which daily pass into his possession. His nervousness has grown chronic, and he is made the butt of many a quiet practical joke. The greatest of these was played some time ago by one of his intimate personal friends who obtained permission from Treas urer Gilfllan to try his little scheme. The gentleman armed himself with about twenty five feet of twine, and attached to one end of 1t 8 machine composed Of steel prod point ed as fine as needle, and solid piece of rubber es ballast. He stationed himself in the gallery directly over the interest clerk desk, where there were heaps of money all nicely done up in packages. Then he slowly let down his string until it was directly over 8 large package and releasing his hold on the twine, the steel prod impaled bundle of notes, which he quickly drew to the gallery, and having secured them, rushed to the Treasurer's office with his prize, which proved to be SC, 900 in legal tenders. Mean while the interest clerk saw his money going skyward and gave the general alarm, but not in time, however, to detect the culprit. The clerk was nearly crazed when he received a note signed ''James GiIfillan,'' asking him to come at once to the Treasurer's office He went as fast as his legs could carry him, and imagine his joy when the Treasurer handed him the missing $6, 1000, advising him to be more careful that his money did not ''take unto itself wings and fly away" in the future. This practical joke has taught the department a good lesson, to wit, that it was possible for a clever thief to abstract money in the meth cd mentioned, and so double precautions have been taken, and under the existing state of affairs such an event is not at all likely to happen again

Illinois fnanciers are startled by 8 Su- preme court decision that under the State laws, a stock certificate is not safe securi- ty for the repayment of borrowed money. The ruling is that if the stock stand in the name of vendor or pledger upon the books of the issuing company, it is liable to an ex- ecution in favor of judg ment creditor of such vendor or pledger, although he may have pledged or sold his stock and delivered the certificate thereof. To illustrate B buys block of stock of A, pays for it, and receives the certificates suffers judg ment to go against him or oonfesses one be- fore the stock is transferred to B upon the books of the company issuing the stock. The execution against A can then be levied at the office of the company, and B loses the prop erty he has bought.

General McMilIen, who ran as the Repub lcan candidate for Congress in the Fifth
 district of Louisiana last fall, does not take a very hopeful view of the party's condition in that State. As the matter now stands, with the whites massed on one side and the ne- groes on the other, he does not think it pos sible for the Republicans to make 8 respecta- ble fight. If the government should make 1t known that fraud and violence at election would unquestionably be punished, MT. Nc Millen believes that it would reinvigorste the Republican party, and with the prospect of success there would come an accession of white voters to it's ranks. But so long as the colored man is not protected in his right to vote, it is practically useless for the Re- publicans to organize He added that ''the North never fully appreciated the southern Republican situation. They expect the same state of things with which they are familiar at home, which has been impossible here Republicanism was new on this soil and it had to encounter all the obloquy that attached to abolitionism, the war, the en- franchisement of slaves and social and poli- tical revolution. They expected a bot house growth to come out of this anar chical condition. and because some desperate, adventurous and question able characters came to the front, they got impatient and rather than wait for sober sec ond thought and the improvement which was sure to come with time, they deserted us, and left to fight the battle against overwhelming odds"

The petitioners urge that the privi- lege of the extra time is simply the continu- ance of an old usage which began in the need of allowing for imperfect means of commun- ication by mail and otherwise. The practica bility of the change desired in New York is supported in part, by the experience of States or countries which have given up the plan of allowing days of grace, and which report no embarrassment from the new meth cd.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Amer ican writes that the true inwardness of the opposition to Home Rule on the part of many whose fathers strenuously opposed the Union '1ies in the apprehension that most of the constituencies would infallibly return men whose main efforts would be in the di- rection of most serious interference with the vested interests of real estate holders. As most persons are aware, the bulk of Ireland has at some period been confscated, and those who claim to be the representatives of the original holders conceive that they are entitled to it. Many years ago a poor wo- man on Lord Dufferin's estate, secretly, in the fullness of her heart for Lady Dufferin's many acts of kindness, submitted to her a plan of the Dufferin property, mapped out in parcels of which her own husband was to have one. She generously intimated that when the hard times came for the Duferins she should, in gratitude for past favors, do all in her power to let them down easy. This bit of feeling about property prevails among three millions of Irish.''

Glad are the birds the summer brings,
And fair the golden DAYS
Which set the path with daisies white
That through the meadow strays.
Red are the roses on their stems
And sweet the air when blest
BY their sweet bloom, but after all
OF life, love is the best.
Bright is the priceless diamonds CLEAN,
And time can never soil.
Yet bought within the dreary mine
By hard and weary toll,
But ali, what little worth the while
The mortal form is drest
With all their dazzling sheen We know
OF life, love is the best.
Love only, smooths the roughest way,
Love makes each burthen light;
1t fecks the day with riffs of sun,
Aud turns To morn the night.
Love bars the door 'gainst sorrows frOwr
And builds the sheltered nest
Where wounded hearts are healed because

AN OPEN LETTER.
Wild Cat Life Insurance Oompan-
les.

To The PUBLIC: Our attention has been
called to letter from John T. Williams,
superintendent of insurance, published in
the Henry County Democrat" of April
18th, under the above heading.in which he
states that the Southwestern Mutual Bene-
1T association, of Sedalia, Missouri, has No
authority to do business in Missouri. We
do not wish or intend 70 argue the cues
tion with Mr.. Williams. The legal status
OF our association, and ALI
other mutual benevolent associations,
was 6xed by our legislature in the
laws of Missouri of 1SS1on pages IS and 81.
We are incorporated under the article re-
ferred to in the laws of Missouri, which
states emphatically that no benevolent as
ISOLATION or society (which shall issue any
certi6cate to or make any promise or sGree-
ment with its members, whereby any sum
of money or benefit 10 to become due or
payable to its sick or disabled members,
or on the decease of . member, solely
from the proceeds of assessments or discs
collected from the members thereof, shall
be deemed an insurance company, or sab
ject to the general insurance laws of he
state" This law was passed with IN
emergency clause, for the express purpose Of
removing all doubt as TO the legality of ben
evolent associations end societies then in
existence. The question was tested in the
criminal court of ST. Louis in 1881, in the
case of the state of Missouri against the
Farmers and Mechanics Benevolent sss0-
citation, of St. Louis, which wss decided by
the court in favor of the association. II il
verv evident that Mr.. Williams' letter 10
written in the interest Of "old line" life

tent to do justice to cur association or to
the people.
