THE facility with which Joseph Her2og,
for years, has pursued the business of OBJ
tanning from our banks the discount of
forged notes seems to show very clearly
that there is something wrong in the man
ner in which they are accustomed to do
this business. As nearly all the hanks in
the city have been his victims, the fault
seems TO he in the system rather than in
the negligence of the officers.
One lesson they have learned is that it is
not well to trust too much to fair appear
ance. They are said to have been great
admirers of Mr.. Herzog' business methods.
He always paid his notes before they were
due, and did not ask for their renewal.
These are excellent recommendations TO
bank officers. They make few days in
terest and seem to have q prosperous Gus
toner. I.iberality and promptitude are
seen to be virtues which the shrewd swim
dler puts on as cloak to his schemes.

THOSE who are interested in the insane
custom of matrimonial presents-and few
there are who do not, willy nilly, belongs TO
this category,-should take pause when they
next think of sanctioning this social barbaric
habit The particulars of the Paxton-Wiilard
elopementare still fresh in the public mind.
The young lady,i will be remembered, was en-
gagged to distinguished son Of New Jersey,
and the cards were out and number of
presents already sent. The father of Miss
Willard was on his way from Europe TO bless
the union. Meanwhile Mr.. Paxton and Miss
Willard We're quietly married, leaving the
New Jersey suitor in the lurch. When the
father of Miss Willard reached Washington
and was made acquainted with the change Of
the young lady's mind he caused to be re
turned to the donors the wedding presents
which had been sent to his daughter in an.
ticipation of her marrying the other fellow.
Now comes Paxton, however, and threatens
TO sue his father-in-law for their value, both
for himself and wife, taking the ground that
the presents belonged to Miss Willard, now
Mrs. Paxton, and to no one else.

BUSINESS failures and divorces seem now
to have the call.

THESE are strong words that Sc nator
Bayard uses to express the great labor that
President-elect Cleveland must face on March
4: "Mr. Cleveland is confronted with an
enormous task, the like of which has hardly
parallel in history. The Democratic party
| is the legatee of the most nonstrous system
| of mismanagement Every department of
| the puplic service is mismanagedor conducted
| in such way as ii should not be-" And yet
anyone who has given any attention to the
career of the next president must reach the
| conclusion that he is the fttest man for the
emergency. He has been lighting corruption
| in city and state for many years, and the
| armor of honesty with which nc is panoplied
| has proved unassailablc TO oven the most
skilful thrusts of INSCRIPTIONS jobberS. 1t is
fitting that his great work in the past should
receive for its capstone tho coming reform in
the national administration.
With the crisp, bracing air of to-day comes
to the well-clad a feeling of healthy satislac-
tion that their lines have been cast in pleasant
places, and insensibly with il "a desire to
reach in the pocket for means TO lift the less
fortunate poorer brother 10 the same happy
plane ofenjoyment. Citizens ofLancasterhave
much to be thankful for in their sanitary sur
roundings The thought, perhaps, does not
occur to them until comparison is made with
other places. Prof Adler has pointed out
that in two blocks Of houses in the Bend of
Baxter and Mulberry streets, New York,
there had been no less than 633 deaths in
three years. In one house, No 81 Baxter
street, there have been eleven deaths in
twelve months. The misery that must ensue

Another Lie Exposed.

In refutation of the base falsehood in
circulation in the Pacific States, that this
paper in 1856 supported Fillmore for
President, it is sufficient to say. that the
Kennebec Journal then advocated the
election of Fremont and Dayton. In that
campaign James G. Blaine first made
himself conspicuous in New England by
the brilliancy and force of his editorials
and his speeches on the stump in favor
of the republican party and its candidates.
and the same year his editorial associate
and partner-John l.. Stevens-was the
chairman of the republican State COM
mit,ee, and for months devoted from ten
to sixteen hours daily in pushing and
perfecting the organization which won
the remarkable republican victory in
Maine in 1856.

DR.. Arthur Newsholme in his recent work
on hygiene, favors tea, but points out that
the common way of taking it, with food in

green tea of causing sleeplessness. But
cocoa is shown to bear the palm over both.

In France the published accounts from

Hume gives of the great battles of Agin-

thousand frog-eating Crapsuds were

is the Chinese who are swept by myriads
ove7 to the great majority in each battle.

the fingers of both hands. In spite of

ing voice adopted resolutions recommend
ing the retirement of their Blaine and Lo-
