/" "olD HUTCH " POINTS A MORAL ANEW.

There is something very melancholy
in the history of most of the great spec
ulators in the several great stock ex-
changes Of America. The telegraph yes
terday informed us that B. P. Hutchin-
son, "Old Hutch, !" as he was familiarly
called, had disappeared, and that he
was supposed to have wandered away
in fit of mental alteration. If it shall
turn out that Ais body lies at the bot
tom OF the stormy lake that fronts Chi
cago no one will breathe regret. Prob
ably the most despicable commercial
vampire of the day is the man who gets
up artificial corners in the necessaries
of life. OF all the great spectators on
the stock exchanges of the United
States, Jay Gould, the vanderbilts,
Russell Sage and few others, only es-
capped shipwreck. Jim Fisk perished at
the hands of an assassin, so that no one
can tell how his tempestuous career
would have ended. Jacob Little, the
precursor Of them all, alternated be-
tween opulence and bankruptcy, and
died poor. The Same may be said Of
the venerable Daniel Drew, who was
drawn within the iron grip of old Com
momodore Vanderbilt. Our own
Jim Keene, after making colossal
fortune on the San Francisco stock
exchange, bearing the Bonanza stocks,
went down in big wheat deal. The
remaining members of the Bonanza
crowd burned their fingers in man.
moth wheat speculation and were glad
to close up all their speculative accounts
at once and forever. Commodore Van
derbilt only speculated occasionally, and
he always kept by him an immense sum
of ready cash in order to avail himself of
the fluctuations of the market, and he
was endowed, besides, with super
human sagacity. His son, VIM. H.
Vanderbilt, was once foolhardy enough
to break lance with Jay Gould; but,
after losing three millions of dollars,
which went into the pockets of the
Wizard of Wall street, he was wise
enough to let 60, and to confine himself
to the management Of his great III
terests.
AS a general thing, the roster of the
great spectators and promoters is a
melancholy one, from George Law down
to Sir Morton Peto and Pereire and,
last and most eminent of all. Count
Ferdinand De Lesseps. They can all
be said, with the exceptions named, to
have gone up like a rocket and to have
come down like stick.

rs THAT MONEY!
AN ALLEGED FORCED BALANCE IN
COUNTY ACCOUNTS.
What Member of the Taxpayers Asso-
citation States About an Account of
Two Years Ago-Mr. Smiths Five
Thousand Dollar Demand.

The HERALD published exclusively
yesterday morning the proceedings of
the meeting of the Taxpayers associa-
ton held on Tuesday, including the con-
stitution adopted. The Express of last
evening published part of the matter,
stating that the meeting was held some
weeks ago, but little matter of time
never troubles the Express.
The men composing this taxpayers
organization are very much in earnest,
and it will not be very long before the
public will hear something drop. The
association has whole lot OF evidence
collected, and it is of somewhat sensa-
tional character.
For example, member told HER
ALI reporter yesterday that in the set
tlement of the taxes two years ago be-
tween the treasurer and auditors
Offices there was some sort OF discrep-
anoy which, as near as can be got at,
necessitated the forcing of balance of
between $4,000 and $21 900, and so
poorly and involved were the accounts
kept that even now it has not been abso-
lutely ascertained who was responsible
for the deficit, or where the money
went to, nor how it went. The forced
balance, it is claimed, is the only plain
thing about the matter. This is said to
be only one of number of such things,
and still there's more to follow.
Apropos Of nothing in particular, it is
strange whata change has come over the
views of the supervisors regarding Mr..
Aaron Smith. Chairman Perry of the
board told County Treasurer Banbury
some time ago, when Mr.. Smiths war
ant "for services at Sacramento" was
refused payment by Mr.. Banbury until
it was endorsed by Mr.. Perry, "that the
county owed Mr.. Smith $4,000 for selling
the county court house bonds"
Now the honorable supervisors in some
they do in their meetings does not neces-
HERALD learns that recently Mr.. Smith
presented his demand on the county for
$4,000, for commission for selling the
court house bonds.
Now here was a pretty state of things.
The chairman of the board had prob
ably stated that Mr.. Smith was entitled
to that money, yet in the present condi-
ton of affairs it was hardly safe to order
the demand paid, particularly as Treas
urer Banbury would probably decline to
honor the warrant, and then "that =
HERALD would print a lot of stuff about
it," But on the other side was Mr..
Smith. He wanted lis money, and
there the honorable board were, between
the devil and the deep sea, so to speak
The result was that the demand was
tabled for the time being and the con

made of porphyry, agates, cornelian,

other such beautiful materials They
are packed together 80 that the surface
composed of them Is like floor, and
they look as If pressed into 1t with q

uniform size. and each one is polished
brilliantly, as Il oiled and rubbed.
Most of them are perfect spheres, and

as If literally paved with gems. Thus
the whole surface of the plain is a COM

And my hand that hath never left her.

And tho wealth Of which Isis bereft her
Lies hcaped ut my feet and hers.

But glow with moveless spark;

Lest she wake to the old, and weep
