The Poles in Prussia.

The Prussian Government, in the
summer of 1885, issued an order for
the expulsion of all Poles from the
country. They were to be allowed a
certain time to dispose of their effects,
and Mt the end of that time were
Obliged to depart, whatever Their cir
cumstances or condition OF health. AS
the Russian Government refused to adj
NIT these banished people unless they
could prove that they were born in that
country, their hapless condit on aroused
much sympathy in the German states,
and upon the meeting of the keichstag,
or German Parliament resolution
was passed requesting an explanation
of this action. To this Chancellor
BismaroS replied that the matter was a
Prussian affair wholly, and as he could
not admit the right of the Reichstag to
concern itself in those affairs that were
exclusively the province of the states,
he could give no explanation. Suisse
quently, however, similar reso ution
was passed by the Prussian Landtag,
or Local Assembly. To this Bismarck
replied, Jan. %, 1886, at some length.
He said that the primary cause OF the
Governments action was the disloyalty
of the Poles to the German crown.
They were always, he said, engaged in
intrigues. endeavoring to set foreign
states against Prussia, and keeping up
a continual agitation against the Gov
eminent. The Governm mt had there
fore decided to Danish the evil element
that made all this trouble. The Gov
eminent had decided to purchase
the real estate owned by the Polish
mobiles in Prussian Pc aud, and place
German colonists on the land hitherto
occupied by the expelled people. None
of the Poles were to be allowed to re-
possess the land, even by renting it,
and to make its colonizat on more per-
manenty valuable to the German m
pire, the colonists were to DO forever
prohibited from marrying Poles. While
it il adm tied that the overnment will
have some difficulty in carrying out
these extreme measures il they are not
concurred in 10y n ma ority OF the Prus-
sian assembly, it is certain that neither
Bismarck nor the King is likely to con-
oede angle point of the plan, and

A New Wrinkle for Modern Society.

As there are fiirtations and rumors Of
firtatiops in the air the expected early
importation of the system of screens
now in vogue at Paris will come nane
too soon. No drawing-room will then
be considered complete without screens
enough TO render each couple IN the
room secure in the privacy of the en-
folding panels. Well, the one couple
left out, of course, will not require q
sc cen. The idea is to obviate all the
difficu' ties now in tho way of conversa-
tion, don't you know, and remove the
tension imposed upon the nerves of q
person who is trying to make few
pointed remarks and at the same tine
look totally unconcerned in the eyes of
the probably observing company.
There are score of advantages to be
gained from the screen scheme in so
ciety. Each person will fit set to his
own particular wants and needs, and
when the hour for striking the blow
in favor of the new reform arrives, the
city will be ready TO man to s'y a
word in its behalf. How charming

The Capture OF Gen. Scott.

After. Hulls surrender in August,
1912, the army was greatly demoralized,
and IL was evident that an attack must
be made to retrieve the national honor.
The Army of the Center, under Gen.
Van Rensselaer,, was therefore massed
on the banks of the Niagara River, with
the purpose of invading Canada. Oct.
ID, Van Rensselaer, crossed the river at
Lewiston. The British were en-
trenched on Queenstown Heights,
nearly opposite. The landing was des-
perately resisted. Sol. Scott and Capt
Wool led the Americans IN charge after
charge, driving the British before them.
Three times they won the victory. Van
Rensselaer, then returned to the Ameri-
can shore to bring over the rest of his
troops. These were main y New York
militia, altogether unus d to the ter
rors of battle. The sight of the bloody
struggle on the opposite side of the
river, of the field strewn with dead and
dying, wholly unnerved them. To the
Generals order, therefore, their officers
returned the reply that he had no right
to take the militia out of the State, and
they refused to follow him. Fifteen
hundred able-bodied men," says an
historian of the time, stood cowardly
by their constitutional rights while
their comrades vainly struggled against
the odds of their swarming foes" Scott,
ON the other side, finding that no help
could be sent hum, mounted log be-
fore the remnant of his troops. and
urged them to renew the attack.

Let us die arms in hand. Our country
demands the sacrifice. The example
will not be lost. The blood of the slain
will make heroes of the living. Those
who follow will avenge our fall and our
country's wrongs. Who dares to

line. Another charge was made with
desperate courage, but the numbers of
the enemy were overwhelming, and all
who were not killed were taken priso-
ners. In January, 1913, Scott was ex-
changed, and joined the army under
Gen. Dearborn as Adjutant General. -

The banking law of 1871 established
one organization only, the United
States Bank, with stock limited to
founded upon n number of different acts
passed between 1868 and 1873, provides
for practically unlimited number OF
banks, and fixes the inside limit Of cap
ital at 10000, $iOO,OO0, and 500. 600,
according to the population of the city
where organized. In the old United
States Bank, the Government took
81, 900, 900 of stock, and three-fourths
OF all private and corporate subscrip-
tions were TO be paid in United States
bonds, the remaining one-fourth to be
paid in coin; in the National banks the
Government takes no stock, but guar
antees each banks notes of issue, on
condition that Ill per cent. of these
notes is deposited in the United States
Treasury in the form of Government
bonds, as security. No part of the law
of 1901 restricted the issue OF the
banks notes. this matter being left to
the accepted prudence of the banks
directors. AS this prudence is not SO
fairly calculable a quantity at the pres
ent day. the question of security linn, Is
each banks circulation. The oirculat-
ing notes of the Bank OF the United
States were made receivable in pay
ment of all dues to the United States;
the present law provides that National
bank notes "shall be received by the
Government in payment of all taxes
and other dues, except duties on I'M
ports, and are payable for all debts or
demands owing by the Government,
except interest on the public debt, and
in the redemption of the notes them
selves" These are the salient points
of contrast between the two systems,
to which we may add the fact that the
law limited the existence of the charter
of the United States Bank to ten years,
to be extended at the pleasure of Con-
gress; while the National banks are
made, if their solvency continues, per-
manent institutions. BY no means all
of the specifications of these laws are
here quoted, as the circumstances un-
der which they were framed are widely
different. Ocean.

vision. He had no difficulty in hnd-
ing his way home, but the way seemed
long and strangely full Of terrors. He
shook like leaf as he passed the low iron
fence OF the cemetery, and once, as the
wind passed with long, rustling sound
through pile of leaves, he started 10 run,
but his Tapping ulster catching him be-
tween the legs, twirled him squarely around
and brought him face to face with CHASTITY
grayestone close against the fence.
The cold sweat stood on Mr.. Maginnis'
brow when he staggered into his own yard.
He stopped for moment and rubbed his
hands across his eyes. Good heavens! what
was that nodding back and forth in the
rising winds? Mr.. Maginnis heart gave a
great thump, and his hair wiggled about
under his hat till it nearly pushed it off.
He advanced stephen retreated two.

around the house. The figure seemed to
shake itself aud expand. Another gust-and
horrors! with an awful rustling and clap
that shook every bone in Maginnis body,
the ghost left its moorings and floated
swiftly toward him. One piercing, agoniz-
ing cry, more like the bray of lost mule
than the utterance of human being, burst
from the disbeliever's lips, and Maginnis
fell back more dead than alive, while the
trailing garments of the ghost passed over
him and swept away in the darkness.
Mrs. Maginnis and the fat cook dragged
Maginnis into the house. He was so badly
scared that he could not speak an audible
word for ten minutes; then he opened his
ashen lips and groaned:
"Where is the ghost2" II he had asked
to see his maternal eat-grandfather Mrs.
Maginnis could not have been more taken
aback. The idea of Maginnis admitting
the existence of ghostl BY gentle de-
grees the wife of his bosom drew from him
the narrowing tale. At the story Of the
ghost in the yard she pricked up her ears.

THE CUTTING CASE.

MIR. Sedgwick's Mission Is to Find Fvidencs
for Mr. Bayard.
Speciai to the India napols Journa.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16 Mr.. Sedgwck, whs
has been commissioned to go to Mexico and In
vestgate the Cutting case, left Washington lata
last night en- route to Mexico While in Wash
ington, it is understood. he received final in
structions from the Secretary of State, directing
him to give attention to showing, first that ali
the evidence, newspaper reports and records,
from the first complaint against Cutting down,
corroborate the ground on which the demand
for Cuttings release was peremptorily made.
Second, that the course of justice, had it not
been for the firm and peremptory demand
of the United States would have been more
arbitrary and oppressive than it was. Third.
that the whole line of prosecution was changed
after the position of the United States govern
ment was emphatically made known to the Mex.
lean authorities. Secretary Bayard it is said,
has reason to fear the printing in tho United
States of the official documents in the Cutting
case, as promulgated in the Diaro Official of
Mexico He knows this will tend still more to
prejudice the position taken by the State De-
partment and mislead his countrymen. He ap-
prehends that the sagacity of the Mexeans will
appear in the light of an afterthought, when Mr..
Sedgwick has accomplished his mission. Mr..
Sedgwicks mission, many think, Goes not relate
to the Cutting case alone The main object, it
is said, is to arraign Mexico for repeated and
the Cutting case is only one of many conspicuous
