HE Is HERE, TOO.

In this envious, grasping world of greed
and a~varice, there are few things in
thought or substance that go begging for
an owner. Find a purse upon the street
and a hundred eager claimants rush for
ward to establish a proprietorship; con-
ceive a beautiful thought, make a valua-
bic discovery or invention, and a crowd
of ambitious rivals stand ready to wrest
from you the honor. Yet there is in
every community a Something OF no
mean importance, that nobody claims and
that is allowed to wander houseless and
homeless and friendless from door to
door, gaining admittance only by stealth,
fed in secret and caressed in fear, though
loved ard nutured and assisted by all
with whom it gains an audience.
1t is a nameless waif, the illegitimatc
offspring of erstwhile responsibility, con-
ceived in indiscretion and born in dis
grace. 1t cries upon the doorstep of its
guilty parents, the voice reaches the
public heart, and with apologies and
trepidatiOn it takes the founding to its
bosom, nutures, trains and developes it
into a giant of strength and power. And
so this pampered favorite, this social lion,
the honored gnest at every feast, the life
Of every circle, is still regarded as of
doubtful caste and entertainedin disguise.
Nobody owns his presence, yet all feel his
influence. He is a~rtless, persuasive and
gay, and scents his nOisOme breath with
violet OdOrs and extracts Of the rose. Be-
meath his smiling mask he hides an evil
eye, and carries in his bosom a poisoned
dagger which, when the revel is over and
his end accomplished, he will plunge into
the hearts of those who have sheltered
and Toasted him and laugh over the ruin
and desolation he has wrought. He is a
social leper and leaves traces of his loath-
someness upon every threshold which he
crosses. He is a masked demon, a
sneak.thief and dissembler. He walks
the streets of every city. His name is
Scandal and he is wildly at home in Dur
ham.

1t is announced that a worlds congress
of bankers and financiers will be held in
Chicago from June 10 to % inclusive.
Delegates are expected to be present from
all the different powers, and numerous
conferences Of experts in particular
branches of banking and %tinanciering will
be held during the progress of the o
vention. The results Of these confer
ences may, and should, prove a practical
local benefit to every section of the
country. Some of them promise to be of
special interest and Importance. The
conference of delegates appointed by the
governors of the several states and terri
tories and Canada, to compare banking
systems, methods of doing business, the
banking u and general invest
ments peculiar to each, is likely to afford
liberal information.
That to consult on clearinghouse
methods in the United States, Canada
and England, with a view to formulating
some plan of union among clearing
houses. may be productive of generally
beneticient results. Perhaps the most
important Of any Of these consultations
will be that Of bank examiners and &C
counts from all parts of the world, and
superintendent of banking departments
under the several state governments.
The opportunity that the congress will
afford for acquiring International famil-
iarity with the methods of banking and
financiering in the various marts of the
civilized world will render it one Of the
most valuable and interesting of the
many worlds congress that will be held
