"The recent theft in the treasury de-
partment," said one of the post Office
inspectors to Washington Post, re-
porter, ''Hcalls to my mind an occur
renee in Boston several years ago. 1t
is true story and illustrates thc,diffcr-
cnce between q petty thief and the man
who appropriatcs millions.
"Therc was in Boston at the time of
which lspeak n comparatively young
man who held the position of assistant
cashier. He fell into evil habits, and
began stealing from tho bank, covering
up his thefts by his methods of handling
the books. These defalcations con-
tinucd for q number of years until the
amount taken aggregated fifteen thou
sand dollars, Then the officials be-
camc suspicious, and n quiet investiga-
, ton was set under way.
The cashier, foresecinG that, he
would he detected ultimately, called
upon his attorney and told him all. the
circumstances. The attorney asked
if he. was Still, in his position and
trusted with the funds, und' when in
formed that he was gave this advice:
IF You are detected in stealing a
miserable fifteen thousand dollars term
in the penitentiary sturcs you in the
face. If you take half IL million you cun
force them to terms. Go to the bank and
take, out all the, money you. can and
leave the matter to me. You are dis
graccd if caught as it is, and if not the
! public knows nothing about it.
Now happen to know the result of
this identical cnse. That cashier did
take five hundred thousand dollars,
! lie acknowledged it and .>scrrcd. the
bank to his attorneys. 10 have the
man arrested would not return the
money and save the bank from loss.
The result was that compromise was
effected. whereby the bank secured
half of the booty stolen, and tho cashier
retired on the other half. He itnmedi.
ately built q number of Anc houses, and
to-day is wealthy man. No one can
accuse him of the. ,embezzlcmcnt, al

CARNATIONS Will REIGN.
TAO Hfat ChrJSsnthemunk-lGa Nay Lose IT'S
Glory.

Z
1hO EraIl ChryssnthemunAlEa Nay Lose Its
Glory.
The short-lived chrysapthemum is
likely to be ousted from the high posi-
tioni it now occupies in public favor
by the carnation, which blooms the
year ronnd6 Whilerit probably never
will be possible to make so large and
gorgeous display it is possible to bring
the carnation to such degree of per
lection as will !cntitle it to foremost
place.
With this end in view, says the Phila-
dclphia record, tho national carnation
society was organized in this city, prin.
cipally Through the efforts of Edwin
LonstlGlc, of tN'yndmoor. ON the Real
ing raAroad.s Mr.Lonsdalekv as elc':t.:;
president, and G; j. Pennoc:S, Of Kc:.-
heth square, secretary. The society
has for its object the propagation arA
deUclopment; of the, fness.EvnTichies Of
the carnntion through the individual CT
forts of its memhers, who are numbered
by the thousands throughout tho entire
country. New seedlings arc being pro-
duced every year by hybridizing, and
particular care will be taken by the
society to see that these are rproperly
classified. It is the purpose also of the
society to taboo oil varieties OF, inferior
quality. Tho. ideal carnation of the flu
turc will be about four inches in diame-
ter, and must possess the two all import
ant qualities of stiffness OF stem and
clcarne3S of color. - ~.
The possibilities of increasing the
varieties of the carnation by blending
and hybridization arc very encouraging,
as n prominent florist said yesterday.
There nrc' already over two hundred
varieties in existence, several Of which
have been held in. popular esteem year
after year.. ... ......s- .. -.
The CRIMSON king" ms the name: i'm
plies, is Of dark red color. 1t has al
ways been n favoritc, although Of late
years the popular taste runs. more to
the pink varieties, of which there are
many of great merit. The "Grace
Wilder" probably holds the palm among
tire pinlks. Among tho cwhites the
honors are evenly divided between the
'Hinzie" and the 'Puritap.n The "But-
tercup" is the yellow par excellence.
Several new pink seedlings were
brought out this year, and oil possess
merit, particularly the Mrs. Colfiesh, {"
"Aurora" and "Grace Battles" the first
mentioned having been brought out by
w. J. Colflcsh, of Darby. There are
carnations of all colors, except blue,
and there is every prospect that the
blending of several colors will swell
the list of varitics to thousands under
the efforts of the new society.

A LEAF FROM HISTORY.

Ths death OF Justice Bradley, OF
the Supreme Court OF the United
States, has revived memories OF the
exciting tilnes OF 1876, WHOM the peer
pies; will was tsYarted ny; as bold, a
gang of political pirates a. ever
scuttled a ship. Tho part that. the
dead Justice took in overruling the
decision of the. voters expressed at
the ballot box, in. the presidential
contest OF 1876. is thus set forth by a
Now York correspondent Of the Port
land, (Mains), Argus:
"The contest was over the votes OF
foas States: South. Carolina, Florida,
LPqisiapa and Oregon, and the case
sogreatly differed in some two of the
four that any rule which the Com mis-
.ioa might adopt for the purpose OF
giving a Stats. TO-. the Republicans
would certainly give another to the
Democrats, and, ns Tilden needed but
one OF the four States, his SUCCESS
seemed assured. But Bradley, with
seven Republicans at his heels, made
a certain decision in the Oregon )case
and reversed that decision in the
Florida case. In the Louisiana and
South Carolina cases he reversed the
one or the other of his former de-
cisions, and, by so doing. gave the en-
tire four States to Hayes.
A iurid light is thrown upon the
CONDUCT of this Judge Bradley by the
fact that he prepared decision Civ
Ing Florida to Tilden, aud told Judge
Field and Judge Strong that he
should SO vote on the morrow.
His house was watched shat night
and at,a5out9 p. II. James G. Blaine
and Zach Chandler wore seen to enter.
At20'clock 10 the. morning the two
men came out What we're they do
ing in Bradley's house those five hours
Of the night? The next day Bradley
voted to give the State Of Florida to
Hayes, as he had told Field. and
Strong he should not do.
Bradley was good lawyer. Chand-
Ter knew n" law and Blaine knew but
little. Did these two men. convince
Bradley in those five night hours that
ne was wrong on point OF law? See
here: ...
ID Late in the afternoon Bradley
told his brother Judges, Strong and
Field, that be should vote on tho NOR
row to give Florida to Tilden. (2.)
= Blaine and Chandler we're. with him
from 8 o'clock to 2 of the night. 81
The next day he voted to give the
State to Hayes. a. ,It,is said that
Judge Bradley has left an estate OF
upwards OF million. That tolls the
story.
Bradley never recovered from r the
disrespect into which he bad fallen
and he is said to have felt his dis
grace keenly TO tho end of his days
especially when at hone in Jersey.
Hayes, who is really good kind oil
man, is despised even, by his own
party for accepting a stolen Prcsi.

SCATTERED BY RANGERS.
Texas Troops Attack Garza's Followers,
Forcing Them to Flee.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 4.-There is
much excitement in military depart
ment headquarters and among the peo-
pie of this city over the serious
situation on the border. II. j. Mac
Neil, of this city, Saturday evening
received a telegram from his father,
Capt. j. $. MacNeil. of the
Texas rangers, which states that he
had just had desperate encounter
with the Cara men. His command
numbered only few men. They were
scouting through chaparral in Starr
county when they met detachment
of about thirty CARA revolutionists.
The rangers at once opened fire on
the revolutionists and number of the
latter were severely wounded Nearly
1000 shots were exchanged, but none Of
the rangers were wounded. The tele-
gram states that the revolu-
tionists were all well armed
and well mounted. They were closely
pursed by the rangers for consider
able distance, but finally scattered and
all escaped capture except a few of
those severely wounded.
1t is reported from Laredo that FIVE
Texas rangers were killed Friday in a
fight with the revolutionists.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. "A dis
patch to government headquarters re-
ports that on Saturday Second Lieut.

Grande City and many shots were in
terchanged and some Mexicans wound
ed and some of the United States
soldiers were hurt. Col Pablo
Munoz was captured. Two gross
Of cartridges and many revolu-
tionary badges were taken.
The Mexican government has offered
a reward of $4,000 for Garza's head,

THE CAUSE FOUND.

The cause of chronic diseases has at
last been discovered.
People have taken "Blood Purifiers !"
and wondered why there was no perma-
nent benefit derived.
DR.. Shoop has taken step in advance
of all others, by giving speoiel study to
the cause of these increasing chronic
diseases.
He has found that certain nerues have
entire control over the stomach, liver,
kidneys and all internal organs. When
these nerves are weak, or exhausted, the
stomach will not digest the food, the liver
will become torpid and the whole system
will sink from this lack Of nerve force.

upon the nerves that control these organs.
