TRUST FUNDS STOLEN.
A Shortage of $4,000 Discovered
After a Financier's Death.

A Shortage of $4,000 Discovered
After Financiers Death.
NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-The friends of the
late Henry p. Marshall, who was for over
two years cashier of the Seaman's bank for
saving. on Wall street, were surprised at
the published statement this morning that
$4,000 worth of funds held by him as
treasurer Of the Protestant Episcopal
church missionary society for seamen can
not be found. 1t was ascertpiued to-day
that the funds of ST. Georges church, and
Of esUa tes Of which he was trustee, are also
missing to the extent of nearly $500 ad-
dltiOnal, and besides this it is t3ted that
funds entrusted 10 him by individuals
for investment cannot be accounted
for. Nothing is wrong with the bank
accounts, which we're examined U hen the
new cashier was appointed after Mr.. Mar
shall's death in November, and again when
the regular half yearly report was being
prepared.
THE DISCOVERY.
No discovery was ma e until need arose
for some Of the church funds in Mr. Mar
shalls4charge. A search for these disclosed
the fact that The securities IN which they
had been Invested were hypothecated
to their full value with trust
company, along with other securities
by Mr.. Marshall. AS the affair gains pub
licity, additions are made to the amount for
which Mr.. Marshall is responsible. The ag-
gregate is now placed at about S15, 600. No
explanation wha ever has been advance
for the disappearance of these funds. Mr..
Marshall was about 75 years old, and had
been prominent churchman for a great
many years, having for twenty years or
more had charge Of the finances of half a
dozen societies connected with such work.

The Sahara Desert.
The Cornhill Magazine

The Sahara as whole is net below sea
level; it is not the dry bed of a recent
ocean, and it is not as fat as the proven
bal pancake all over. Part of it, indeed
is very mountainous, and all of it ia more
or less varied in level. The Upper
Sahara consists of a rocky plateau ris
ing a. times into considerable peaks;
the lower, to which it descends by steep
slope, is "a vast depression of clay and
sand,' but still fol the most part stand
ing high above the sea level. No portion
of the Upper Sahara is less than 1,300
feet high-a good deal higher than Dart
moor or Derbyshier. Most of the Lower
reaches from two to thee hundred feet
quite as elevated as Essex or Leicester
The two spots below sea level consist of
the beds of ancient lakes, now much shrunk
by evaporation, owing to the present
rainless condition of the country; the
soil around these is deep in gypsum,
Ind the water itself is considerably
salter than the sea. That, however, is al
ways the case with fresh water lakes in
their last dotage, as American geolOgi5is
have amply proved IN the case Of the
Great Salt Lake of Utah. Moving sand
undoubtedly covers large space in both
divisions of the desert, buj according TO
Sir Lambert Playfa our best modern
authority on the subject, it occupies not
more than one-third part of the entire
Algerian Sahara. Elsewhere rock, clay,
and muddy lakes are the prevailing feat
ures, 1nterspersed with not infrequent
date groves and villages, the product of
frte sian wells, or excava.ed spaces, or
rivers GASES. Even Sahara, in short, to
give 1t it's due, is not by any means so
black as It's painted.

An Historic Old Castle.

To recover ourselves we must go TO the
Belvedere, from which magnificent
panorama is TO be seen, or, better still, to
the castle which lies at the eliminating
point of the plateau. There the old
fortress, built long before the days of
Athens and Rome, and restored in turn b J
the Greeks, the Romans, the Arabs, and
the Normans, lies sunk beneath the weight
of centuries in heap of weather-besten
ruins; the bright verdure of the young
trees, the grass that has overrun it every
where, give it q venerable and charming
aspect. Ii we climb to the tep of tower,
built by the Greeks and still well pre-
served, we shall find at our feet the ruins
of the first temple in the world that was
built to Ceres, to the Goddess who was the
personitication of organized labor, or
civilization, and of the city. On the
southern slope of the mountain are the
caverns in which lived the men of prehis
toric times, which sheltered later and cCn
tinGe to shelter the unfortunate who are
too poor to pay the rent of even howell.
All around are deep valleys, and the i'm
mense horizon shows US range
upon range of mountains,
with the majestic snow crowned
pyramid of Etna to wered above them.
How pleasant is the place, the grand

=" We Will Die 1nvpfhpr

This tale of woe passed OVER the wires
from Johnstown, the other day: A pretty,
pale little woman told part of her story
as she nervously ciasped and unclasped
her hands and cried in her qniet, heart
breaking way. Years ago in the Virginia
valley, somewhere near Winchester, this
sad little soul met and loved a hard work
ing engineer named Fem. They mar
ried some eight years ago and came to
Johnstown, wnese they had neat, com
Portable home. Fem made good wages,
their several children were ali we'll clad
and their mother lived with her life con
centrated upon tcem.
On the afternoon of the flood Fem
went to the butchers and passed out of
this short history into the waters. When
the flood came into the Fem house the
mother gathered her chicks in the parlor
and told them not to be afraid as God
was there aud would guard them. Up
came the torrent aud they went TO the
second floor and again the little mother
talked of hopes, bade them be of good
cheer for p pa-heaven rest him-would
come soon in boat aad take them away.
Up, up AMI up rose the water, and now
the family were forced to the top story.
The rooms were very low and soon the
heads of the mother and children were
beating against the ceiling.
Mamma" said the eldest child, a girl,
"would 1t not be better to go outside ard
die in the open ARR"
Yes, dear" said the mother, well

She fought her own and her chiIdren's
way to the window and opened il. She
caught q piece of plank and on ii put the

the darkness and the roar of the waves.
Six times were these frau barks freIghted
with precious ca;goes and argo=ies Of
pious trust. The children were frighten-
ed, but obedience vas part of their creed
aud they made but little protest
Nov came the turn to the las. child,

How Much Happiness Can Be Made by

Who of Us have not forgotten

Union, or seen 1t grow

manners, the expression of a well poised
mind! Learning can be acquired, polite
ness may be cultivated. but manEer is the
express ion OF the nature, snd brings the
object to its OWE level, st least for the
moment. We go out from the pres
ence Of gentle manners at peace with the
world. Some of US carry the ideal of per-
feet grace with Us, as piring hut never

once behsld on earth angelic manners snd
celestial charms, whose very remembrance
Is delight and an infection. since it

nature Is best" for he knew that offense
could never come where the heart felt the
brotherhood of man. What is rudeness
buta disregard of auother's rishtss
What is discouctesy but disregard for
another's feeling? Who that loves his

We think of culture as the highest form
OF she Intellectual, bur 1t Is perfect only
as the heart has kept pace with the head,
and sees In Its own development new
responsibility, new debt to the world
Manners are the expression of our ma
ture. Manners are nature; politeness,
veneerlng: and he is q dullsrd who is not
able to distinguish.
Let Us lose the phrase, LEARN to be
polite and say rather, "CuItivate the
heart and head that the stature of perfect
man may be reached" True manners
sees the limitations of another's tempera,
ment and opportunity, and leaves them
untrammeled, knowing every man has
his own code of morals and politeness,
which only individual developement can
| change, feeling with Goethe: Eve ar
rive best at true liberation when we let
pass individual peculiarities, whether of
persons or peoples, without quarreling
with them; holding fast, nevertheless, to
the conviction that genuine excellence is
| dlsting uished by the mark, that it belongs
to all mankind" Could We only hold
fast to the thought of the divine in every
man! Gould we only see that in acknowl
edging his right to his own nature, soar

cessjon not involving principle it is "Jove
