A very clever reply to a somewhat satirical re
mark was that given to Louis XIV by Cardinal
Richelieu, who was noblemsn as well as a
priest. A celebrated archbishop of Paris was
appointed preceptor to his Majesty
One day he preached a notable sermon
touched principally upon the duties of the nobil-
ity. "Ah," said the King to Richelieu, the
preacher has thrown a vast quantity of stones
into your garden to-day" Eyes, Sire" answered
the Cardinal; land few have fallen into the
royal park" A courtly etiquette of expression
is observed in this answer, with which we may
presume that even royalty itself could in nowise
be offended.
One Of the most distinguished incidents of
Zimmermans life was the summons which he
received to attend Frederick the Great in his
last illness of 1856. One day the King said to
this eminent physician: you have, l presume

Any ordinary person would, doubtless

The Citizens, National Rstires.

As has already been stated would be the case,
the Citizens National Bank yesterday retired
from active business, at the end of its twenty
years charter. The bank has had a long and
honorable career, and some of the principal facts
in connection with its history are of interest
The original capital stock of the bank was $780,
900. On the 18th of October, 1865, it was con-
solidated with the Fourth National Bank, there
by increasing the stock to $780, 900. In 1871 an
additional $500, 900 was added, but in 1878 the
stock was reduced to 100000 at which sum it
still remains The present bank building was
erected and occupied in 1862 Since the organi-
cation of the bank it has paid to its stockholders
$6I2, 600 in cash dividends, and now after all its
obligations paid, its stockholders will receive
more for their stock than they paid for it

THE STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
The Annual Reports of the officers Made to
the Executive Committee.

A meeting of the executive committee of the
State Board of Agriculture was held yesterday
afternoon to receive the annual report of Alex
Heron, the secretary. In his statement of the
financial transactions of the board during the
current year. the secretary shows that the total
receipts amounted to $50, 514 81 and the total ex
penditures were SIG, 1S3. 81, leaving balance in
the treasury of So, 1926. 95 The general expenses
of the board amounted to $S,0SS72. The i'm

which amounted to $10 4143O. The receipts
from the sale of admission tickets to the fair ag-
gregated $40, 878 and 81, 100 80 was received from
the sale of privileges The total receipts from
the fair amounted to 1924, 65l. 80, and the net
profit was 81, 800 rs The secretary's report was
approved by the committee.
In his report to the Governor Mr. Heron says
that the corn crop of the State, Notwithstanding
the drought, will not vary 800 bushels from that
of 1883. The wheat crop is the second largest
ever produced, and the yield of potatoes, which
has become crop of almost as much importance
as wheat is unusually large and of excellent
quality.
The bonded Indebtedness Of the board, the
secretary states, is 100000 bearing interest at
the rate of 8 per cent. per annum and Is que
in one year. but the time may be extended for
five years. 'The keeping up of the fair +" the sec
rotary says in his report to the Governor ito its
very high standard and the paying of the semi
annual interest on the bonds renders it hopeless
to be relieved of the load of Indebtedness in any
reasonable limit of time, through the net profits
of the fair. 1t is great check on that spirit of
enterprise and progress necessary to show and
advertise the resources Of our great State.
Therefore we ask you to recommend to the next
Legislature that they make appropriation to

a Deserved Tribute to Passenger Conductors.
So apt are the travelling public to inadvertent-
1y speak unkindly of passenger conductors, more
especially in the matter of their honesty, that
we are glad to note that railroad managers have
begun to look upon spoilers with very unfa-
vorable eye, and it is fact that few lines are at
present employing them. 1t is good thing that
railroad managers generally are finally coming
80 the sensible conclusion that the spotter sys-
Sem is bad one. A railroad man ventures the
remark that the railroad companies are to-day
losing less by dishonest conductors than when
they paid large numbers of spoilers to secretly
watch their men. Taken as a class passenger
conductors on American railways are honest,
competent, and faithful to the interests of the
company which employs them. The following
ell-deserved tribute to the average railway con
ductor is paid by writer in the Brooklyn Eagle:
''H one were asked to pick out class of employees
who, all things considered, most invariably de-
port themselves as gentlemen, he might very
safely mention the railroad conductors of this
country. There is occasionally to be met with
among them a boor, or one who seems unduly
Smbued with a sense of his own official impor-
tanee, but a man may travel over many roads
and thousands of miles ere he finds such con
ductor As rule, railway conductors are DO
lite intelligent, attentive and considerable So
far as it is possible within the limits of their
DUTY, they are also ympathetic-women chill
Lren, and poor ignorant people being treated by
them with especial courtesy. A cringng, time
serving, person respecting conductor is rarity
These meg are usually brave firm, and indie
pendent IN manner and action, but to those who
behave rightly they display all the webred at
tention that could possibly be expected; and the
patience they exercise under the strain to which
- is so often put is admirable beyond all praise
Men who travel the same routes often contract O
strong personal esteem for conductors"
