I"Gath's" New York Letter.
How few men are fit TO be presidents OF
banks or of anything else, The whole
system Of tiduciary trusts is bOtlomed
upon hypocrisy The law provides for
directors, and the directors hardly ever al
tend 10 the business. In this city II Is
usual in most of the corporations to put
upon the dine tors plate 50, SlO OF
SO for every meeting rs temp
tation TO attend. or as a recognition OF the
attendance, This money some shrewd
old misers who are in these boards OF
directory take with greed and pay no
further attention to the proceedings OF the
board. some OF these men are worth
half million. but il is so delightful to
them Ia get an unexpected SlO as
gratuity that they would probably stand
on street corner like beggar, with
hand or hat out, for the same amount OF
money. Yet IL the bank should make
mistake and one of these directors be held
responsible as was done in Scotland not
long ago. il would be as hard 10 get direc.

bOokkeepers, note clerks. etc. The presi.

upon the amount aud character Of every

enough for two or three months; but

the long revolution Of years, and its &C.

loans are renewed and re-renewed Until

Konrad schmid, am now ready to receive all my
old friends and new ones too, and to offer them
such bargains in my line as will convince them
that it is actually cheaper to wear new clothes
than old ones. 1 have no damaged goods to offer;
my stock is new and clean but my present quarters
are so small that must sell to make room. You
can easily test the truth Of my assertions by drop

War on PhYaic.

The New York Tribune, referring re- cently to war being made on dealers in and manufacturers of quinine in that city, said that the analyses of samples purchased showed that some Of them contained 90 per cent. of worthless in- gredients. Quinine is the active constitu- ent in nearly one-iourth of the medicines prescribed by physicians, and there can therefore be DO punishment too heavy for its aduiteration, which may indirectly dangerously ilL It is often prescribed for colds as tonic, but as it is an expensive drug, what more natural than that parents whose children are suffering from cold or cough should resort to some simple or apparently harmless syrup? Bu, here science steps in and shows that these preparations, as a rule, contain morphia and poison, and that their use, not in- discriminatory, but at all, Is dangerous. o Oaly recently in Philadelphia and Evans vile, the deaths of children from the ad. ministra,ion of such mixtures have been reported. What, then, are people to do2 Fortunately at this time comes he an- nouncement tha. g remedy has been dis covered free from impurities and poison ous isgredi .nts, promp, in removing the cough, and instrumental in building up the system. The remedy has been of- fcislly endorsed by the heads of the Boards of Health Of Brooklyn, Baltimore and other cities by the leading prac. ticing physicians of the State of Maryland, including Dr. C. F4wcet., for thirty.three years resident physician of the Union Protestant Inhrmary, Baltimore Gov. ernor McLane and Attorney General Roberts, of the same State; Mayor Latrobe and Postmaster Adreon, of Bal. timore Judges and Clerks of Courts {; Congressmen and Federal officials These gentlemen have stated publicly over their own signatures that their en- dorsement of the remedy in question, Red Star Cough Cure, is given from prac- tical tests and personal observation and that besides relieving promptly, 1t has the rare quality of being free from par- cotics, optates or poisons. Adulteration of drugs will always go sn, we suppose, but with the discovery sf such pure and effective remedy, it will be peoples own fault it they are subjected to unnecessary danger.

 "0f course we wilir' shouted the gang, and, before the nan could recover, they rushed him to the counter and he paid for the drinks.
