sign when one man took all the money
out of the bank
This is the bank that was in a ter
ribly rotten condition in 1886 and which
condition Comptroller of the Currency
Eckels was fully aware of. but which
he refused to place in the hands of a
received because. as he unblushingiy
stated, it was election time. And Mr..
Eckels refused to perform his sworn
duty because it would have exposed the
rotten condition of a bank, the presi-
dent of which was the editor of a great
and influential newspaper that was
each day making vicious attacks on
the silver cause and all who advocated
it, denouncing both as disreputable and
dishonest, and praising those who adj
vocated the gold standard as the high
est types of citizens and patriots. Sub
sequent events have shown that all this
prating about honesty, honor and in
tegrity by the bank president in his
capacity as editor was purely Peck
sniffian. Mr.. EckeIs was right It
would never have done to have told the
truth about the bank, for that would
have ruined the influence of the great
moral paper.

She Admired .Werther. -

Catalini. the celebrated singer. was al
most entirely uneducated. Her want OF
literary attainment. together with heI
vivacity in conversation often produced
ludicrous results. When at the court OF
Weimar she was placed. at a dinner
party. at the right of Goethe as a mark
OF respect from her royal host. The
singer knew nothing of Goethe. but being
struck by his majestic appearance. and
the great attention of which he was the
object she inquired his name of another
gentleman.
.'The celebrated Goethe. madame" was
the answer.

THE eALLEoNs OF SPAIN.

King Philip had Wanted his claims;
He had sworn for a year he would sack
us;
With an army of heathenish names
lie was coming 10 fagot and stack us;
Like the thieves of the sea he would
track us,
And shatter our ships on the main:
But we had bold Neptune to back US
And where are the galieons of Spain?
His carackes were christened of danes
To the kirtles whereof he would tack us
With his saints and his gilded stern
frames
He had thought like an egg-shell to
crack US;
Now Howard may get to his F1accus,
And Drake to his Devon again,
And Hawkins bowl .rubbers to Bacchus-
For where are the galleons of Spain?
Let His Majesty hang TO st. James
The AK that he whetted 10 hack us;
He must play at some lustier games
Or at sea he can hope to out-thwack us /;
To his mines of Peru he would pack us,
To tug at his bullet and chain:
Alas. that his greatness should lack US
But where are the galleons of Spain?

TALES OF THE DAY.
Voltaire's Speech.

It was the custom of France under the
old order 10 lease out the aides or in
direct taxes to men called farmers gen.
eral Their rapacity in wringing every
farthing they could from those on whom
the taxation was levied made them more
cordially and deservsdly hated than any
other body OF men in the kingdom. Vol
taire was once in a company where tales
OF robbers were the theme. and each one
present contributed TO the amusement of
the others by some appalling narrative
OF outlawry and brigandage.
When it came to Voltaire's turn and
the great wit was called upon TO tell
some robber tale. Gentlemen said he.
there was once a farmer general Then
he was silent. Though his audience
begged him to go on he declined; the
whole of his story had been told To be
a farmer general was to be champion
robber of whom nothing more need be
narrated.

affairs.
II there was anything in the mem
orandum presented by the representa-
tives of the six powers conveying the
! idea set forth by this correspondent.
it did not appear on the surface; if it
was the intention to convey the idea
that Europe has a Monroe doctrine of
her own, never was language used to
better advantage for the purpose of
concealing thought.
That the president and the European
powers have reached an understanding
that our fleets shall not cross the At

at all probable. That would be to ar

laughing heartily at the remembrance;

mentality of Goethe's tale had been IN
mercifully ridiculed. The poet did not get
over his modification the whole evening.

impaired at the court Of Weinnar by the
