TRAFFIC IN HEADS.

Picturesque Specimens Which Were For
 merIy Profitable Articles of Commerce.
 In the gallery of the British museum which is devoted to ethnographical specimens there are four well-pre- served maori heads. The tattooing of the one to the extrme left is beautiful in design and perfectly exe- cuted; it is an excellent specimen of facial marking as practiced in New Zealand. It must have belonged to some chief of long pedigree, and was no doubt once an hOnored relic.
 Another of these heads, the second from the right, is of a different charac- ter. Its owner was undoubtedly hasti- ly tattooed and slain. Compare the ugly, shapcless scrawls upon the left check, with the graceful mark ings on the nObler head. The pigment used must also have been very poor, and it was evidently applied in the most slovenly way. In many places the flesh has not retained the color; and the cuts caused by the tattooing instruments could not have been prop erly healed before the unlucl1y creat ture was done to death.
 For a long time the maoris made these heads q very profitable article of traffic with Europeans, but finally the enormity of this trade was made palpa- ble to the tagging authorities, and in 1881 the governor at Sydney iss ued a proclamation which had the effect of suppressing this scandalous traffic in what was little less than human lives One may, by an easy sequence of events, as has been shown, trace the dust of Alexander till they find it stop ping bung-hole; but surely the most fruitful imagination, unless assisted, as
 in this instance, by truth, could never possibly conceived anything so grew somely grotesque as the idea of the | head of some illustrious New Zealand
 warrior of yore, who had in life re- | joiced in some such awe-inspiring | name as Matutaera Te Pulzepuke Te

THE LINCOLN BANK FAILURE,
State Funds to the Amount of S2I2, 900
 Were Deposited With the Institution.

State Funds to the Amount of S2I2, ,oOo
 Were Deposited With the Institution.
 LINCOLN, Neb, Jan. 23.-The failure of the Capital National bank seems to have been most complete. Bank Examiner Griffith and his assistants are making 8 searching investigation, but refuse to say anything.
 Only few weeks ago c. W. Mosher, president of the hank, swore that he was worth $500, 900 over and above all liabili- ties, and R. c. Outcalt swore that he was $200 900 over and above his liabilities. Their oaths to this effect were taken when they went on State Treasurer Bart lsy's bonds.
 The same oaths were taken last week when they presented their bank as a bank of deposit for State funds. Those who are familiar with the business inter ests of the city say that outside specula- tiOns by President Mosher and his asso- ciates are responsible for the failure.
 Kosher was the penitentiary contractor and no doubt made big money. But he was also lobbyist, and each session of the Legislature cost him a large sum of money. He was forced to engage in the financial schemes of politicians, in order to hold their influence, and in this way put too many irons in the fire.
 As result of the failure, chattel mortgages and deeds on their property have been filed by c. W. Mosher, presi- dent, and R. 0. Outcalt, cashier of the bank. In every case the dates of these chattels is prior to Dec. 15.
 Leading lawyers claim that Treasurer Bartley and his bondsmen are not liable for any State funds that may be lost by the failure, as the banks bond was ap- proved by the State Banking board, thus relieving them.
 Retiring Treasurer Hill had $263, 900 of State funds in the bank, which he turned over to his successor. Treasurer Bartley reduced this to $212, ,o00 by small with drawals.
 The total deposits of the bank amount to $650, ,000. There are thousands of de- positors, many being of limited means, who will lose from $50 to $200 each.
