At present the directors Of the ShackamaxOD
Bank in Philadelphia are taking ali active in
terest in the banks Affairs. If they had done
this some time ago the institution would not
now be worrying over the prospect of having
to make up a deficit of $205,0O0 in the con-
GERMS accounts. 1t is case of misplaced con-
flence in the cashier, who became sick and
speechless when director Suggested that the
books should be examined. TIE surprise was
too much for him.
The officers of the Health Board will doubt
less feel deeply hurt at the presentment OF the
Grand Jury. The charges against them are
"ipexcusable delays in the legal proceedings to
suppress nuisances," and lack of vigor in criml-
nal prosecutions. Any defence which the
Board may make would be more effective if the
successfuI prosecution of Michael Kane by the
Ladies' Health Protective Association were not
fresh in the public mind. What private asso-
citation can do the Health Board ought to do
or make the reason for its inability plain before
the Grand Jury takes action. In that case, the
prcsentment might be against some other de-
partment.
The decision of the General Term in the Mum
sell contempt case will add to the difficulties of
trial by jury if all orders to jurymen must be
given in writing, or if all the things which it is
improper for them to do must always be re-
cited So far as Mr. Munsell himself is con-
armed, the public generally seems to have set
It'd down to the opinion that he was guilty of
indiecretion only. Possibly the delay OF the
General Term in reaching decision was to
punish that indiscretion. If other jurors are
warned thereby to act more cautiously, these
proceedings against Mr. Munsell and Judge
Van Brunt's action will not be without good
effect.
Despite the protest of the Mayor and the

French IdIeness and Absinthe.

That there is going to be great deal
of suffering in Paris this winter is quite
certain, writes Paris correspondent of
the New Orleans Picayune. [ really be-
ieve that there are altogether too many
hungry people even now in our midst,
but notice that the brandy and absin-
the mills" keep on doing a rousipg
business even in those quarters of the
town where the most distress is said to
exist. Too many French workmen have
themselves to blame for the present
state of affairs. They can do good work
but they won't; they can be industrious,
but seldom are; they are economical by
nature, but love of absinthe, strong
wines, and fiery eau de vie has almost
completely mastered them. Your Paris
workmen would scorn to work six DAYS
in the week; even five days are too
many for some, while others labor but
three, and it was this continued idIeness
when there was work that gives them so
much cause to fear famine and cold now
that there is no employment to be
found. Walls of distress ought to be
coming up from the rural districts. if
from anywhere. Agriculture in France
is in a very bad way indeed. Farmers
and their kind are obliged to pay a
third of their produce into the treasury
in the way of taxes; the figures are
Products, $569,000,000; annual taxes.
$191, 200, O00-a very considerable slice,
is it not? This is because of the eco
nomic system of free trade that has exist
ed in this country since 1860. It costs
French farmer more to send a sack of
wheat from Melun to Havre, distance
of 285 miles, than it does an American
shipper to send it across the Atlantic to
any port in France.

A National Disgrace.
[From the Philadelphia Bulletin.]

From the Philadelphia BuLeHn.1
The position of the Skye crofters is
not pleasant one. AS far as any state
ment has been received in this country,
American sympathy will go to the croft
ers, who are in distressing plight.
Mr.. Bret Harte, United States counsel
at Glasgow, has furnished the state de-
partment with an account of the pro-
ceedings in connection with the eviction
of Senants at Kintail, Ross-shi~e, by a
rich American, who is lessee of one of
the largest deer-forests in Scotland. It
is not agreeable to learn that this Amer
lean insists upon harsh feudal claims as
foreign to the spirit of his native coun
try as to the liberal spirit of Grea
Britain. No wonder that the crofters
of Scotland and of the adjacent islands
rebel against medieval law which
permits landlord to convert with little
warning, his estate into an uninhabita-
BILE Wilderness called, for euphony, q
deer-forest. The American in question
rents forest containing 220,00O acres
tract which might furnish the means
of living to many thousand human be-
ings, but which, on the contrary, only
furnishes shelter for deer and smaller
game. The crofters, whose supply of
land is scanty at the best, naturally do
not know whittier to turn when their
landlord condemns the acres upon which
their crops are raised to be converted
into forests. Commissioners who have
looked into their grievance in Scotland
report, according to MIR. Bret Harte's
statement, that "from existing forests no
injury has accrued to farming and farm
ers, and some gain to proprietors and
their dependents" but "that there is q
limit beyond which the extension
of the forest system ought to be pro-
hibited or discouraged by the action of
the legislature" That limit is believed
to have been reached in Scotland, and
probably in the islands-in Skye,
for instance, where the people are still
worse of, and the forests are still more
of an imposition-most of the forest
land ought to be cut down and given
up to agriculture.

Sectional Photographs.
(From the New York Mirror. ]

The craze for photographing sections
of the human form divine has not yet
reached New York, but it's bound to
come. I have been looking over an
English collection.
There were handsome of them
stuck through holes in dark screen
and clasped and raised; others were
taken singly, holding flower; others
again, exhibited the palm in such way
that fortune teller could "read the
lines"
There were bare feet. If any one
ever saw bare foot that was pretty on
anything but baby, then they have
seen Lizzie Weathersby's (Mrs. Nat
Goodwin). She has beautiful foot
without blemish, and might be iusti-
fed in having hers photographed. But
the English feet that have been SUBJ
jected to this process that saw were
something wicked. One, belonging to
Lady Gladys Lonsdale, was handsome;
but it was as big as the foot of bill at
Christmas.
Then the lacks that are taken-just
simple, plain backs, with moles perhaps,
or without; and sections of shoulders
and napes of necks, scruffs of necks-
scrags of neck, the mutton sellers call
'em-or an ear, just one detached ear,
is stuck through slit in piece of vel
vet.

HAUNTED.
BY GEORGE R. PARISH.

They say tits haunted this house of mine,
Nestled down on the Eastern shore,
And sit here watching the sunbeams twine
In golden lattice-work over the floor;
For the day is dying across the HILL
And all rosy red is the silent sea,
AS l sit here in the old house still,
My grandson sleeping upon my knee,
They say tits haunted, and then tell over
A tale, made mellow as ages ago
The old time tale of fair-haired lover,
OF an angry word and hasty blow,
OF maiden fair, long vainly stretching
Shaded eyes-'twas all the same
Down the lane in hope of catching
Sight of one who never came.
1t seemed last night as the wind was signing,
Through the branches that rack the caves,
And breakers on the rocks were Tying,
And raindrops battered among the leaves,
AS if lived iii that old-time story,
When this house was new and its ratters rams
To the stirring tale of colonial glory,
And sweet songs some maiden sang.
The fire blazed again on the fender,
The water DER it Simmered with heat;
The grandsire leaned from corner to render
A kiss to the lips which were lifted so sweet;
The well-sweep hung high over the water,
The m1lk-pans were drylng unoer tne hlll,
daughter
Went by to the spring, her pitcher to fill.
The old curtains now hanging above me,
Ana ainging shadow of years on the floor,
Were rich enough then in beauty to move me,
The sunlight kissed them, in through the door.
High over the fire place rested the candles
Sleeping all day in their bearers of gold
And dark ebon dresser with silvery handles,
But partially hidden meath snow white fold.
I remember one night in that old-time story,
When these narrow windows seemed afame,
And the music rose IN burst of glory,
And the old walls echoed mighty name,
When alone by the fire. all unheeding
Inc many glanCeS, STOOD La FAY 6ttey
With Washington, again his forces leading,
In the stately graces of the minuet.
The gTandsire smiling with the others,
The freight playing in his snowy hair;
And in yon corner hid-a pair of lovers
With brown-eyed hostess circling everywhere
The soft dance music of We olden days,
The brave soldiers when our land was new,
The grand old gallants with their stately ways
And silken stocking and buckled shoe.
The dance is over and the dancers there
Are laid away on the sunny hill;
The house is gloomy and dark and bare,
The rooms are empty and strangely still;
These rooms that echoed to falling tears,
And heard the music of dancing air,
And listened 10 VOWS in long gone years.
From gallant lover to maiden fair
close the door with q vain regret
A thought for the life that ended here,
The faithful love which could not forget,
But watched for her lover year by year.
The hangings are faded in every line;
The bFown-eyed girl needs them no more,
Yes, it is haunted, this house of mine,
Nestled down on the Eastern shore.
