the merest accident that the facts were brought
to light, and so it has been in plenty of other
cases. The fact il that in great cities few peo-
pie know what their neighbors are doing, and
most are too busy to trouble themselves with
inquiries. The world may be very small as it
has been the fashion to say Of late years, but
great cities still afford conditions Of conceal

to elaborate precautions. The greater the pop

rule which governs AL such cases and which

THE SECRECY or GREAT CITIES.

Much surprise has been expressed that the
EMPLOYERS of ScOvil should have known moth
inc of his way of life: that he should have
lived as a rich man for years without attracting
su-picion. But there is really nothing aston
shng in this, for in all great cities similar
things are continually going on. Business men
rs Il rule seldom meet their employees out oil
business hours. and have no knowledge OF
their mode or scale Of living. And there are
many cases on record of defauterS, torgerS ana
embczzers who, though maintaining costly es-
Establishments on their stolen funds, have kept
M for many years successfully appearances
which ought to have challenged suspicion.
Two of the most prominent OF these cases are
those of Robson and Rcdpath, the English rail-
way forgers. Both of these men, though clerks
on comparatively small salaries, lived most lux
uriously Both of them gave costly entertain
ments, kept horses and carriages, had town and
country houses, subscribed literally to chart
ties. and in a word did everything they could
do to attract attention and gain n0t0riety. Yet
though their profuse style of living had been
going on for years, their employers knew moth
ing of it until other circumstances had aroused
their suspicious. Robson was the first to be
caught, and the disclosures following his arrest
naturally caused uneasiness among railroad di-
rectors generally.
1t was while this uneasiness prevailed that
one day certain peer was standing on the
platform at Great Northern Railroad station,
talking to the chairman of the company. just
then Redpath passed, and bowed to his chair
man. The peer sprang forward and shook
hands warmly with the subordinate. This sur
prised the chairman, who asked the peer,
"What do you know of our clerkf" The reply
was, a. He is capital fellow, and gives the best
balls and entertainments in London" That set
the chairman thinking and the result was the
discovery that this Observation-Disclosures, patron
of literature and the fine arts, and generous

NO CARS IN FIFTH AVENUE.

The pre- sident of the New-Yorb Cable Rail
road Company says that they are doing nothing
at present to further the project of railroad
in Fifth ave, and are content to wait until the
property.owners desire one. We trust that he
will prove true to his word, both in letter and
spirit and that all other projectors OF new lines
who have cast covetous eyes upon ew-Iork's
fairest thoroughfare will be of like mind. II no
steps are taken to lay tracks in Fifth-aye. until
the residents call for them, the day OF that
calamity is far off. The ambitious schemers
who wish to fill every quarter of the town with
the janglng of car bells and the jarring of car
wheels must leave our finest residence street
untouched, IL they do not wish to call out
storm of public Indignation which will bring
ruin on all their plans
The new Broadway line from Union Square

The extraordinary interest which the Repnb-

the number of Blaine and Logan clubs which
have been formed within the last few weeks IN
various parts of the State. Seldom or never
before at this stage in campaign has so much
been accomplished in this way by the spontane-
ous movement of the voters themselves. Cen

1t is only day or two since alarming rumors
Of the ravages of Texas fever among the cattle
in the West were sent East. The early stories
were quickly found to be exaggerated, however,
and already the disease is under control, so that
there is no chance of its spreading. The fever
itself is not likely to do US so much harm as the
mere report of it. This will be spread over
England and other countries, and much capital
will probably be made of it to injure the sales
and prevent the impor alton of American beef.

Mrs. Elizabeth J. French of PhiladeI-
phia in response to the request preferred
by many of our most prominent citizens
will lecture this evening at the Larkin
House. Capt. Larkin has kindly tender
ed the use of his parlOrs, and the lady's
friends in the city anticipate a crowded
hall. Col H. S. Greenleaf. member of
Congress, from Rochester, n. Y, so
kindly remembered by many of us, has
often declared that he owed life and re-
newed health to the ministrations of this
gifted woman. Our Northern exchanges
TEEN with favorable notices of her lect-
ures, and especially thank her for the
high moral and christian tone pervading
them, and the strong chaste language in
which her thoughts are clothed. Ladies
are especially urged to attend, and are
assured that these thoughts of a woman
singularly gifted and exceptionally well
informed will be especially useful to
those Of her own sex on whom fall so
heavy burden in the sickness of family
and friends. Dr. French's thoughts on
the practical laws of life and health will
be useful to all, and we hope she will be
accorded an audience commensurate with
her ability and the importance of the
subjects discussed. Capt Larkin's kind
tender of his spacious parlors ensures
comfort to all.

EDITORS News: There was a goodly
number of people assembled at the George
town school house Wednesday evening
to witness the entertainment, gotten up
by theladies for the purpose of procuring
seats for the building instead of the I'M
comfortable benches now on hand. There
was fair audience and it would have
been larger but for the threatening
weather. MIR. Hind was stage manager.
Miss Edith Hart and Miss Alice Angler
gave comic recitations, and Mr.. Henry
Hawkins spoke and acted a comic negro
piece entitled ''Williamses Watermelon, ="
which brought down the house,
Miss Stevens rendered very finely ''Da-
rians Green and his Flying Machine, .
after which came the refreshments, which
were well patronized. Then came the
leading feature of the evening-the play
of BOX and Cox" in which Hawkin
brothers and Miss Witt excelled them
selves and won compliments from all.
Miss Picnic Loadrin was voted to be
the most popular young lady present and
Mr.. DeverauX the hOmeliest young gen

o'clock and will be remembered a good
while by those present.

Nineteen Years of War Taxation.
New York Sun.
The people Of the United States for
more than eighteen years have been pay
ing taxes levied for war purposes in time
of war.
Look at the internal revenue system.
We are now living under the third law of
the kind. The first was enacted to aid in
extinguishing the debt of the revolution.
The second was passed to furnish means
for carrying on the second war with
Great Britain. The third went into eff
feet in 1868, to provide money for sup
pressing the rebellion.
Mr.. Jefferson recommended the repeal
of the original internal revenue act upon
the ground that the surplus created by it
would be a temptation to war. Sound
principles" he said, will not justify our
taking the industry of our fellow citizens
to accumulate treasure for wars to hap
pen we know not when, and which
might not perhaps happen but for the
temptations offered by that treasure"
There is no danger of war now. But
there is a far greater danger in the cor
ruption, extravaganza, and demoraliza-
ton which are encouraged by a standing
surplus in the treasury. Rings, jobbers,
public plunderers of every degree, and
spoilsmen regard this surplus as the aim
TO which all their schemes are directed.
1t has polluted our politics, melted rob
berry, and augmented the public expendi-
lures; and the internal revenue system is
to blame for its existence.
