The liability of Bank Directors.

The large defalcatinns at the Riv~ CT Plate Bank have set people ask ing once more whether bank direc- tors have a right to consider that they hold sinccures. A few years ago one T'Kindt, a clerk in the Bqnque de Belgique, embedded e920, 900. and it was elicited a: his lrIsl tnat his depredatinns had ex> tended over three or fonr years. A Belgian Senator sat on the board of directors, and he had been deputed many times to audit T'Kipdps ac~ counts. but he had fund it simpler to trust to thnt gentl, man, and he result was that he got sentenced 10 a years Imprisonment for his good nature. Depo. itOrs ard borrowers do not commit their securities to clerk or cashier whose name is un- known to them, but to directors whose names have figured on pros- pectuses, and who seem 10 offer guarantees fer good management. This is point which directors too frequently overlook .--London GrGphic.

Maricopa-s Mineral Belt.

He who thinks that all Ihe great mineral discoveries are confined to any one portion of ArIzona, and all ready have been monumsntcd and exported upon, and that only now and then some "cuss'' more lucky tn .n the average run of mo.tals, by acc dent, will fiud a rich bonanza, will alter his opinion by careful survey of that portion of Maricop4 county lying north and northeasterly of Phoenix.

Sli.l, this stlte of affairs had it's repetition in every mining district iii the Ter itory, and capital, now timid with Its past fail- ures in mining enterpri>es, fal CTS and hesitates in even such glorious prospects as the Red Rover, the leading mine in the Cave Greek Belt, The record of IhIs mine still holds it's own in the catalogue of great prospects, notwithstanding it is burled in the Red Tape of needless nor gages and outrageous specula> tion.

The GIia s' buster PoizI

Soon after publishing ant hstra- October 7, 1882, we had inquiries from various sources fer further in> fo; matlon relative to the HelOdermG horridum and it's habits. In the pa- per referred to, page 231, vol. xvii. and in previous issues consIderabl le is said respecting the harmlessness of the creature on one hand, and it's venomous qualities on the other .. It seems the subject relating 10 the above species of lizard came up for discussion at recent meeting of the College of Physicians in Phila> delphla. Drs. Mitchell and Reich erI exhibited a living specimen of this lizard, and the former read q paper on the nature of the poison, in which he arrives at the following conclusions: ! he BellodermG hor, rtdnaaL, which is found in arizona, is the only one of the lizard family that Is poisonous. It Is usually sluggish in it's habits and will not bite unless provok ed; but when the full s,zed llzard Git grows to a length of three feeO does bite, It produces a poisonous W und. which may prove fatal. For the purpose of experiment, Dr. Mitchell caused the lizard to bite on the edge of a saucer, and when saliva commenced to flow It was caught on watch glass. Differing from the saliva of veuomous reptile-, which is always acid, the saliva of the Hel0dernd is alkaline. A very small qIanii'y injected into pigeon produced it's effect in a totieiing gait iu less than three minutes, and ciused death in less than nine minutes.

THE fact that more than half a
 million of capital has come into our
 valley within the past year, and is invested in business among us
 places the community in a new pos
 sition in relation to that formerly
 occupied when we were cut of from
 outside communication by high wa
 ters and the like. Less than two
 years ago no very great stagnation of business resulted from such iso- lation, for there was less at stake,
 and cur markets 10 the north were
 entirely sufficient to take all the
 produce there was to spare. To day our northern market can use but 6
 small fraction of the products of the valley, and we are obliged therefore
 to look to the south and to the rail-
 road to help us out. When, there- lore, our commercial relations in that direction are cut of, as they have been for the past month or more. the loss by stagnatien Of busi- ness very soon amounts Tn the ag- gfegate to the price of a railroad to
 h soI, zfT bridge the streams that are now such barriers in our way. Our merchants, to be sure, still hold their goods, tut their sa les are greatly interfered with, and the in- terest on their money invested goes on. Their customers can make no turn on produce, abor, etc ., and are obliged to ask credit. As the block ade continues matters become more and more complicated and stagnated till ultimately great damage results. The way out of the difficulty is over an iron track, which will not only secure US communication V ith the outside world, but will, we venture to say, double the business of the valley within year after it is in operation. There is entirely too much at stake now for the valley to allow itself to he commercially bound up as it has been for the past month.
 Order after order IS being sent to us for flour, barley, hay or whatever il is kno we can furnish in the way of produce. It is impossible that one single order can be filled, rot because we have no produce to sell, but because it cannot be moved on account of obstructt d roads. I h, Sc orders are therefore sent to some other place to be filled, and that mach trade is lost 10 the valley-is net only lost but is very likely 10 be permanently diverted to other points which circumstance will cost 8 struggle to regain it, if we ever do. Every ton of grain or other produce that goes out of our valley is just its value in money for circulation smcng us, and to that extent directs butiness to our door, and every ton 1 that we do not sell is just that much | lost on the great amount of capital | that is now invested among us.

Baron Seeuben's AnecdOte,

On some occasions he was accustomed
to dine with Washington. Once several
guests were present, and among them
Robert Morris, who had come up to con-
suit with Washington about the state of
the finances. During the dinner he
spoke very bitterly of the bankrupt con-
dition Of the treasury, and his utter in
ability to replenish it, when Steuben
said:
why, are You not financierp Why
do you not create funds?"
81 have done all 1 can," replied Nor
ris, "and it is impossible for me to do
more"
"Whatp said the baron; lyon remain
fnancier without finances? Then l do
not think you as honest man as my
cook. He came to me one day at Valley
Forge, and said: Baron, I am your cook,
and you have nothing to cook but a
piece OF thin beef, which is hung up by
a string before the fire. Your WAGNER
can turn the string and do as well as
can. You have promised me $40 month;
but, as you have nothing to cook, Iwish
to be discharged and not longer be
chargeable to you That is an honest
fellow, Morris"
Morris did not join very heartily in
the laugh that followed.

Peter COOper'S Sympathy.

Mrs. Susan N. Carter, the head of the
Woman's Art School of the Cooper In
stitute, contributes an anecdotal paper
to the December Century, in which she
says of Mr.. Cooper's aims: "'All l want
he said, is, thatthese poor women shall
earn decent and respectable livings, and
especially that they shall be kept from
marrying bad husbands.
"This subject of unhappy marriages
seemed to be very prominent one in
Mr.. Cooper's mind. That women were
often imposed upon, were ill-used and
broken down, he had lively conviction;
and all his chivalry and sense of fatherly
protection were enlisted to save them,
so far as he could, from these ordinary
misfortunes. While the world is now
occupied with the question of what
women can be taught, their higher ed
ucation, and many kindred subjects,
Mr.. Cooper's acute genius discovered, as
by intuition, many years ago, the rela-
ton of women of the middle class to So
ciety, to industries, and the family. He
saw that many of them could not marry,
and he realized what must be the forlorn
position of number of elderly daugh-
ters Of poor man. He had noted the
dangerous likelihood of giddy, ignorant
young girls marrying anybody for q
home, even if the men they married
we're dissipated or inefficient; and he had
the tenderest pity for poor widows or
deserted wives. He talked many times,
and at great length, on these subjects,
and all circumstances and any sort of
incident brought up this desire of his
heart, to help women to be happy, in
dependent and virtuous.
zone of the last times he was at the
school, and while celebrated New York
clergyman was giving course of Lenten
lectures to women, Mr.. Cooper, with
his face all animated with his feeling
about it, said: DIR. - is of the wealthy
class, and he has been used to deal with
wealthy women. The world does not
look like the same place to him that it
does to me. If he could be In my place
for a month, and read the letters / get
from poor and suffering women, he
would think that it would be best to
have them taught anything which they
could learn to enable them to lessen all
this trouble"
