After lively agitation and long continued COM
plants the smoke nuisance is still a grave
affection in Chicago, and the use of the camera
has obtained evidence against several trans
gressors. The defilers of the air seem to be less
audacious in the Borough of Manhattan this
May than they were year ago. Certainly the
spring atmosphere this island appears to
contain less SCOT and smut than 1t held at this

(TO BE CoNTINUED.)
RESPONSIBILITY.

A short time ago the daily papers de-
voted large space to very remarkable
defalcation in the city of New York.
According to their accounts, a certain
Mr.. Alvord, a trusted employee-"note
teller'-of one Of the strong, we'll
known, and influential banks of the
city of N>w York, turned out to be a
defaulter to the amazing sum of seven
hundred thousand dollars. This man
had been in tue employ Of his bank for
about twenty-five years, and was, Of
course, considered trustworty, reliable,
and very satisfactory as an official.
But those same veracious chroniclers
Of current events-the newspapers
proceeded TO tell some curious things
as to his life. First Of all, he was a
man working on a salary, and there
fore with a fixed and limited income;
again, they describe his residence as
"palatial," and his style of living as
"princely," and, allowing for customary
exaggcration and reporters known
license, these words still coa"ey an i'm
preston Of a very rXtravagant style
OF living-ccrta;nly beyond what any
average salary would justify. They
also tell us Of a cottage" at Saratoga,
and fine horses and "turnouts, and
~ my other forms nf extravaganza.
Then, the directors uf the tlelrauded
bank confess that tins mans stealing
has been going Oh for years undetected.
When any sue gostlon of extrayagant
living was made, Mr.. Alvord's wife is
said to have justified it by the state
| m2nt that the gentleman was specu-
latiny hy means Of information re-
ceiyed in the bank, and making from
forty thousand to fifty thousand dol
lars year, and never losing anything.
Now, with all thisI rs religious
paper, we have nothing to do. We
don't know how much wrong this man
has done; we have no idea of accusing
him; nor do we mean to pass judgment
on him. Whether, in the long run, it
will turn out that he was more sinned
against than SHINING we do not know
nor do we mean to say. All this
aspect of the question has no place in
these columns.

GERS attached to the corps. 1t was
then explained, that the measures to
which General Packcnham so conf
IDENTIFY alluded, consisted in pushing
across of the s5th regiment, body of
marines and seamen. to the other bank
of the river, by whom the guns there
would be turned, so as to take the
American position in reverse. Next
came variety of speculations as to
the propriety Of intrusting regiment
So mserably commanded as the 44th,
with the vitality important office of
carrying the ladders and fascines;
whilst the chances of success or failure,
the probability of individual escapes,
and in the event of his escaping, the
mode in which each proposed to spend
his evening after he had established
himself in New Orleans,-these fur
nished topics of conversation for sew
eral hours. At last, however, the petty
council broke up, and each betook him.
self to the occupation which best suited
him, in the full assurance that nothing
short Of extreme misconduct, or the
most extraordinary mismanagement,
could possibly hinder our obtaining a
signal victory on the morrow.
For my own part, l am not ashamed
to confess, that felt this evening more
singularly oppressed, not with alarm,
but with awe, than recollect ever to
have done under similar circumstances.
The society Of my brother officers was
not agreeable to me, so walked away
alone. Having striven in vain to divert
my melancholy by an inspection of the
canal, turned my steps towards the
river side, and sat down in retired
corner close to the margin of the stream.
The day CHANGED to be remarkably
mild; the sun was bright and warm,
and there was not cloud in the sky to
obscure or diminish his glory. l felt
his power and acknowledged it; and l
felt in my inmost soul, the influence of
that majestic torrent as 1t poured past
me rapidly, but smoothly and almost
silently. | was not afraid of the NOR
row, for danger had too long been
familiar with me not to have lost most
of its terrors; yet question whether
the idea of death ever came across my
mind with greater solemnity than it
did then. l thought, too, of my home,
Of my relatives and the friends of my
youth, and could not at the moment
hinder wish from passing over me,
that l had been permitted to lay my
bones in the grave ofmy fathers. But
these were enervating images; l knew
that they were so, and l therefore de-
termined to resist them; l rose, there
fore, from my seat, and hurrying back
to the camp, spent the rest of the day
in society. At an early hour, however,
both Charlton and myself retired to
rest; and though our conversation par
took for minute or two somewhat of
the gloomy, We soon closed our eyes
and fell fast asleep.

ITS wonderful" says Uncle Jasper,
what a little bit of hair will do for a per.
son. Now, there was Hank Ridley. When
Hank was a young Teller he was the most
gawky lookin' chap l ever saw. His hair
growed away down nearly to his eyebrows,
and they want nothin' much but a kind OF
a hollow place where you'd natchelly 'spose
his chin ought to been. Well, Hanks kind
of bald-headed now, and since he's raised
whiskers you can't see but what he's got
just as much chin as the next man. Five
years ago, before his hair began to fall out,
and when the barber never thought of askin'
him if he wanted a shave, Hank was workin'
for $40 a month in a railroad office and get
tin looked down on by everybody around
the place. Now, where do you 'spose he is?
By gum! he's general manager of the road,
and there amt a more businesslike-lookin'
Teller in our hull county. Talk about split.
tim hairs! | tell you, there's more in it
than most people think fer, and it makes a
lot of difference sometimes whether a Teller
has 'em on top of his head or the lower end
of his face."-St. Louis Republic.
