without doubt, true. An elderly and
weff-known gentleman Of Boston, who
while he likes to sit at the convivinl
board, will not touch anything
splrituous, devoting ali his attention
to the lacteal fluid, was invited out a
few nights ago by party OF choice
spirits. A huge milk punch had,
however, been prepared for him, and
when he was asked W hat beverage he
would prefer. his reply was as usual:
"Well, guess I'll take little milk.n
The punch was broaght, and all eyes
were turned toward him to note the
effect. Raising the glass, he took
sip, and then another; at the third,
however, he drained the tumbler,
smacked his lips, and looking lovely
al the empty glass, observed: "Great
Cesar! What a cow!'

THE WIND ON TIE HfxL.

Oh! sweet is the summer air
hlch steals down the chestnut walk,
When the children are playing thero,
Whilo lovers wander and talk.
But the wind on the hill for me,
And tho mist across the down,
And the bright light over the sea,
And ships coming home to the town
Oh merry the sunny strand,
Where waves wash In ut ones feet,
And the wives and children stand
And wait for the fishing fleet.
But the wind on the hill for me,
And the mist across the down,
And the strong light over the soa,
And ships coming home to the town (!
Oh! stately the castle tower,

Where ghosts come back at midnight hour
And the midday sun falls chill.
But the wind on the hill for me,
And the mist across the down,
And the wild light over the sea,
And ships coming home to the town
And solemn the gray church spire
Il see it, looking downD
With its weather-vane tipped with fire,
As the sun sets over the town.
But the wind ON tho hill for me.
And the mist across the down,
And the golden light over the sea,
And the ships going out from the town,
tThat changed all the world one day),
Can 1t be the mist from the moor

But the wind on the hill for me,
And tho mist across the down.
Though the light is sad on the sea,
And the ships go cut from the town.

Some day as the sun goes down,
And the wind, blowing strong and chill,
Drives out the eships from the town!

And the mists may lie below

And secret for me to know!

The President is not yet ready to say that
he will inform the Senate on what charges Re.
publican officials have been removed in cases
where that body has called for information
and the Senate still insists on its right TO have
the charges presented before confirming the
successors Of the officers removed. How the
controversy will end is not yet apparent.
Both the Vermont Senators have taken firm
ground in favor of compelling the President
to show cause why competent Republican Of
icials have been removed. Mr.. Edmunds
shrewdly selected as a test case that of the
United States Attorney for the Alabama dis
trict This attorney was a good lawyer and
a competent official. He vas not an offensive
partisan, except as all Republican Office. hold.
ers are offensive to Democrats. After the
matter had been discussed at a cabinet meet
ing Attorney General Garland sent in to Mr..
Edmunds's committee on the judiciary the
papers relating to the appointment of the new
incumbent but withheld any statement of the
reasons for which the Republican official had
been removed. Mr.. Edmundss reply is, in
effect, that the new appointee cannot be con-
frmed until he knows why the old one was
removed.
Before Mr.. Cleveland was insugurated he
gave the country to understand, through his
letter to Mr.. Curtis and by other means, that
he was not going to make removals on polt-
ical grounds, but that all officials suspended
or removed would be deposed only upon
charges duly filed and substantiated. When
be was led by party pressure to a gradual
change of policy and to abandon his reform
program, he did not explain or even qualify
his earlier declaration that be would remove
for cause only. 1t having been given oui
the impression became very general that
charges more or less serious had been pre-
ferred against hundreds OF Republicans who
had been removed from Office, and it is sim
pie justice to them that they should know
on what charges they were removed and ar
opportunity be given them to defend them
selves.
Had Mr.. Cleveland frankly said at the out
set, when his nominations came before thu
Senate, that be had found it e1pedient t.
abandon some of his reform pretensions anC
remove Republicans because Democrats want
ed their places, the present difficulty woulC
have been avoided. We imagine that the pc
sition which Mr.. Morrill,, Mr.. Edmunds, ant
other leading Republicans have taken, ha
for its real object neither more nor less thar
to compel the President to take this tranl
and consistent ground.

tract and no interest In bis favor allowed. This
fact, together with refusal TO allow him anything
whatever for bis services cashier during the sixteen
years or more Of the banbs existence, accounted, a.
remember the case, for the entire balance found
tgainst hm-whch, though 10 my opinion right upon
legal grounds should not be taken At all a. finding
that be had msapproprated the funds Of the bank TO
the Aforesaid, or to any, extent.
1.-THE true history Of the bank found, In brief, TO
be this: That II was founded In 1864 the basis Of
$500 900 capital Of which one.hah TO be contrib
uted In cash, and the other half made up by TAX
log over the assets Of former state bank, supposed
at that time by Mr.. Waite and every one else to be
worth the amount. In the course Of a year or two
events occurred which made those sssets practically
worthless. when this came 10 the knowledge Of Mt.
waite, instead u going to the stockholders with an
acknowledgment Of the Impairment Of the capital, be
committed the fatal mistake Of keeping the true su
alton secret and seeking by his efforts either to
make good the deficiency 10 place himself 10 stu
alton where he could buy out the other stockholders
and conceal all. This involved constant series OF
false reports false book keeping and deceit 10 which
be persevered for almost i6 years. large dividends boz
ing regularly paid the nominal capita until at last
the shell broken aud practically nothing remain
