How QOur Bank Was Robbed. LRV MUS, @ One bright morning, a few yéars ago, great excitement prevailed in the London office of the City and Provincial Bank, (Limited). Yet the bank bhad just-declared a fat dividend of 15 per cent. for the half year. Shareholders were contented, aiLd god Mammon seemed to cast a favorable eye on the welfare of the old and thriving corporation. However, a mutinous feeling of discontent was plainly visible upon the faces of the thirty odd employes, who swarmed like bees into the hive every week-day morning for the purpose of manufacturing the golden produce that delighteth the souls’ of distributing Directors and radiant proprietors. The shoe pinched somewhere, Where was it? : The following notice, circulated for the perusal of each clerk, contained the secret of the unwonted gloom: “Every gentleman will be required to remain at the banking-house two Sundays in the year to assist in guarding the premises. G ; “By order, J.SPOFFORD,Sec’y.” Here was a revolution--a coup d’etat, indeed! Sixdays we should labor, but the seventh did not certainly belong to the City and Provincial Bank. The gilding of a little extra pay might haye made the pill easier to swallow, but on this point the notice was discreetly reticent. In the end, after a few days of conjecture and excitement, every one quietly resigned himself to his fate, as black and white slaves are bound to do all the world over. .

1 had beéen ten years in the bank, and received a salary which, though not magnificent, was sufficient to support in comfort a young wife; and very happy we were in our snug retreat at Wood Green. Of coarse we both thought it extremely hard to be separated even two Sandays in a year, till we soon saw there was nothing for it but submission. Now, though 1, in gommon with others, rebelled against the forcible seizure of Sunday’s rest, yet it must be owned 'there was some reason for the eéxtraordinary innovation. The strong:-rooms of two neighboring establishments had been attempted within a fortnight, and a boy carrying bonds in Broad street'had been decoyed away and the securities stolen. Buat, worst of all, some pilfering had been ‘going on for some months in our own bank. Stamps had disappeared to an alarming extent. Clerks had misseéd money from their coats, and now and'then the garments themselves were spirited away. Traps had been cgrefully laid, and a detective spoken with;but as yet the rogue was mnot discovered, and e;n uneasy feeling was rife among us all. { g

The bank boasted of four porters or messengers, one of whom—theé chief —llived rent-free in premises that nearly adjoined the building. He was a long lean man named Bennett, with a parchment face and a goatee beard. Some people said he was civil, others servile; at all events he was quiet, well up in his work, and high in favor with the authorities. Of the remaining three, one had been a grocer’s boy, and the other was a country lout' put into a green coat ‘and brass buttons, both bonesgtcreatures, but of no importance inthis narrative. The fourth was an ex-policeman named Lance, a blunt, pleasant man, much given to relating queer stories of his- former life, and not averse to a pot of .beer for his trouble. B

After eight weeks had passed since the official notification, it come.round to my turn to keep guard. During the week preceding the mystery had become still more intensified by the unaccountable disappearance of a £2O note, and matters began to assume a very grave aspect. On arriving at the bank the door was opened by the night watchman, an old pensioned soldier, who, for £1 & week, remained in the bullding all night, and' vanished with the earlymorning on the arrival of the porters to open the doors. A few minutes afterward Bennett walked in, accompanied, to my joy, by honest old Lance, whose wonderful stories I fondly hoped would help to relieve the tedium of a long, dull day; then, without ‘muych ado, I proceeded to make ‘my first round. ‘ - Preceded by Bennett, with a lighted taper, I marehed up stairs, through every room and office, acress perilous planks and up dangerous' ladders, till’ we gained the trap door which opened to the roof; then down afam to the lowest abysses ot coal-cellar and st;o%room, looking in vain forsome concea fl?m’ F%‘Vgfifl Who, however, mmhafi,cfiout_tqz,,hif absence, . Very minutely’ did I examing e:g& try the drawer,” which had already been mmm:d%n,;»t. new it contained, Qnmitanfiu fge sum in’ o’'work,” u%fim&g fémfirté&? - ing his taper close to the lock. Lance,

WS iy . i N too, had a good look at it, and e;p;esr ‘ed the same sagacious opinion as h § -colleague. L 1w ey Our first visit ended—and I was expected to patrol at least three times in the day—the two porters went ‘down to breakfast, and I adjourned to the manager’s room, leaving the ‘door partly open, 8o as to be able to see all round the bank. 1 lit a cigar, and ensconcing myself comfortably in the managerial armchair, prepared to stay the two hours which intervened betweén the cessation of the church bells and luncheon-time. . Suddenly | old Lance appeared again at the halfopened door, and spoke in this wise: “’Seuse me, sgir, bat I've been a ‘pleaceman, and: I, don’t think that lock’s all right.” . . Ly et “Which lock, Lance ?” said L. : “That there drawer with the stamps, Bll‘.” ‘s

“Well, let us look again.” - # Sosaying, we both went to the counter which contained the drawer, and Lance pointed out some small scratches on the lock, and a slight indention in the wood-work surrounding-it. = - “That’s a chisel, if I die for. it!’ said the ex-policeman. - ! : “By Jove! You don’t mean it ?” “Sure of it, sir.” e “Well, let’s have Bennett upstairs and hear what he thinks of it.” ! Angry at being disturbed at his breakfast, the head porter came grum--bling to the place where I stood, and, bending down to theloek, impatiently inquired if it was not a deal more likely that the cashier had scratched it in the course of business. Afler a few minutes’ further inspection . he looked up witl a knowing smile. “I.believe Lance is right now; it looks so fresh, I shouldn’t wonder if the watchman knew something about this.” .

“Perhaps sO,” said I. “What do you think, Lance ?” ; ot s “Well, he looks honest enough—but looks ain’t always a guide,” said the man, quietly. , : “Then I'll stop in the bank to-night, and see if I can trap my gentleman,” exclaimed Bennett, “if you’ll leave me the key.” :

““I ean’t do that,” 1 replied, “but I shall report the fact to the manager the first thing in the morning.” “As you like, sir,” he assented reluctantly, and they both returned to their long-neglected meal. . ‘ - Again I retreated into my den, this time with thé proud.consciousness of having something important to relate when Monday morning shoujd see the stream of busy workers once more settling with books and papers and filthy lucre generally. One—nay, two cigars did I consume down to the last half inch; read .“Byles on Bills” nearly through, in default of more cheerful literature, and I am dfraid a tiny doze must have ensued, as I was awakened by Bennett’s voice close to me asking what I would take for luncheon., Mechanically I fixed upon the hackneyed chop, and with i a pint of stout, to be fetched from the only eating-house that designed to open for a couple -of hours on Sunday. While ‘he was gone I took the opportunity of making my second round, and found nothing but peace everywhere, with the slight exception of being startled by the sudden appearance of the bank cat from the cavernous depths of the enormous coal-cellar. Eventually I returned to my room and found a suecculent chop smoking upon the table, flanked by a pewter .pot of foaming stout, which, on tasting; I found unusually soft and creamy—indeed I fancied I could detect a peculiar aroma in the grateful beverage which seemed to make it more than ordinarily palatable; anyhow I thoro”ugl},ly enjoyed the repast, and when an intensely slumberous sensation crept through all my veins my strongesteffort of will proved insufficient to keep me awake. While I was still struggling against the impulse, Lancé came to iaform me that he was going out to dine at his home close by, while Bennett was left on guard below. As he closed the door behind him my eyes shut and I fell asleep, but only in a few moments to be awakened by his voice again addressing me: ' “I don’t think I'l go out to dinner, sir,” - said he gazing at me with a strange expression. T ’

“Why not?” quoth I drowsily. - . ~ “Well, sir, I don't feel very bright to-day, and I'd.rather stop indoors; and if you’d be 8o kind as notto mention to Bennett as I've come back. But you don’t look very well, yourself; sir, just now ?” L 9 BT s “Lance, that stout has made me most confoundedly sleepy!” . “Well, havea bit of a nap, sir, .I’ll see the place:is all right—only. I don’t ‘want Bennett' to know I’m here.”

“All right, all right,” I replied, rather shortly, for I wanted to be left to myself; yet I was somewhat surprised at.his wish for concealment in so trivial a matter. . '

Again I saw the man pass out and partly close the doer,and once more 1 drifted into a heavy but pleasant slumber. Soon I was a denizen of dreamland, and. a sharer in its grotesque and fantastic imaginings, I thought 1 was clinging to the telegraph wiles that stretched. like webs over London, and performing thereon athletic feats in impossible positions; then I flew through the air toward my home at. Wood Green, spinning, as I went, a _thread of wire by which to return—a useless precaution, as I was at once ransported to the Desert of Sahara, ‘where I found. myself on a camel’s back careering .acrass the burning ;flain. Butin my dreams the face of| ‘the camel was the face of the ex-po-liceman Lance, ant - ever and.anon strange, grating noises, seemed . to. be ‘borne past us on the wind. , The Jpace. ‘began'to slacken; and, as I spurred my speed to fresh exertions, I seemed to feel the prick of the rowel in my own fl'es,P;,_j_{lt became phpfrpez and more painful, and gradually came, desert, chase faded from my vision, and the bank once again _dawned on my awakened senses. But though my aerial steed and his surroundings ‘bad all disappeared, the Bpur, unaccountably enough, remained, as my nether limbs were painfully remindSRIRG . ot e Ii was no d’&&%kf?il%fifix _',Wflasf wide awake. Qt ' glanging round,’ I discovered Laxgcg,}e‘ _Eghn‘;%mgwn* besido my, chal, and vigoroudly ap“_%y!ng a pin in the calf of mfigg.

| broad daylight. - Stooping down, with his back toward us, was a man softg) ly but swiftly' forcifig the lock with a chisel. But the man—the thief —who was he? I knew at a glance that longylean form: It was Benustt.. We both shrank back. < ; “Tdke off your boots, sir,” he whispered in a.low veite, 'T' moticed that his own feet were shoeless. “Creep round outside the counter, and wait tflfl give the -word--theén ~over and BOID e, e a .Inodded assent, and then I saw Lance crawl out-upon his hands and feet into the office, behind the shelter. of a long, high desk, at the end of whieh he would be within a:few feet of Bennett. I creptaway to the other ia:‘france o{ the manager’s room, which 1 Into a large space approprjated to ‘the "public, ggd; 'gglfi’fii,x;g xil’g{selessly along, I arrived where I knéw I must be opposite the thief at his work.— Click, click, went the chisel against ‘the brass lock., : It was apparently a _work of time and difficulty, though ‘the sound of crushing wood work betokened the near accomplishment of ' the work. How long the time seem‘ed! Had Lance been able -to get close to him, and undiscovered? . . I judged so, as the chisel still con-. tinued its grating work. Sometimes it.stopped for a mement; and then I ’ knew that the man was watching the ‘door of the manager’s room to see | that T was safe under the influence of the narcoticadministration in my pint ~of stout. Click; click, erunich! andthe whole lock appeared to come:away, the drawer at the same time being -drawn quietly open. “Now,” thought I, “here goes.” Not yet! I could hear the meliow clink of the small bags of gold as they were hurriedly transferred to the. man’s pockets; then the stiff rustle of many sheets of stamps told of a like destinmation.’ T listeried ‘breathlessly. Suddenly there was a yell of mingled fright and rage, and, vau'ting at one bound across the counter, I saw Bennett falling backward, his throat clutched by the practiced hands of the ex-policeman, who held on with a will, having sprang upon him silently from behind. : ¢

. The half-strangled man struggled like a fiend, dealing me several ugly kicks with his long legs as I attacked him from the front. But the odds were too many, and furthermore he had been taken by surprise. In afew moments he was overpowered, and his hands and feet were securely fastened. - Not a word had been uttered since the commencement of the conflict, but now Lance looked up and said in a stern voice: :

“Got the scoundrel at last—next thing’s a pleaceman. ‘Will you go, sir, or;shall I?” .

Here was a fierce attempt to free himself by the prostrate thief. ; “Perhaps I'd better stop with him,” continned.

FP.BEM}HING A CURIOUS RELIGION. An Ignorant Farmer Who is Believ= = “éd tobe Possessed by a Spirit. S (Chicago Tribune.) A - Des' MoINEs, lowA., Sept. 2.—Considerable interest has been aroused in Washington and Johnson counties by the mysterious doings of Noah Troyer, an ‘Amish farmer, living near the village of:Amish, in' the south-west corner-of Johnson county. He is in comfortable circumstances, about for-ty-eight years old, and has a wife and four children.’ By birth he is a German, and a member of the Orthodox Amish Church.: He is very illiterate, seldom reading a.book. Hehas a copy of the Bible in German, but seldom reads it. He has never possessed an English Bible, and his family do not know that he ever saw one. He speaks both English and. German. He and his family are highly respectable, and he is noted among his neighbors for his fondness to trade horses and tell good stories. Heis very strict in:his religious notions, conforms rigidly to the tenets of the Amish Churech, and v;idl not attend the services of any

. About four years ago he was troubled, with distension of the stomach, ‘accompanied with cramping pains, ‘which” were followed by a lethargic ‘condition.’ "About a year ago these attacks were followed by unconsciousness or trance, in which he talked upon religious matters, These trances became periodical, finally coming on every day. He would rise about daybreak, eat a hearty breakfast, and go about his usual farm work. About three o’clock in the afternoon the bloating and cramp of the stomach would come, followed by drowsiness,-which gradually increased. He would eat a light supper, and, when night came; he would be nearly unconscious. He prepared a low couch in a large room, on which he-would lie down and pass’ into convulsions, which would last nearly an. hour. .About nine o’clock he would rise. to his. knees, and utter a short prayer or in}vocation,followed by repeating the Lord’s Prayer, after which ‘he would rise to his feet and deliver a sermon from an hour te two hour’s long, speaking with a strong voice, which could be heard by chree hundred people outside the house.

He moves about the room, gesticulates forciby, and his manner is that of a person earnestly speaking to a | large audience, His language is not -elegant, yet his discourse is always logical and eloquent, and evinces preparation. He preaches from the Bible, but takes no text, Heoften illustrates ideas with passages identical with Milton’s “Paradise Lost,” yet he never Baw that work, and probably does not know that Milton ever lived. His discourses are liberal in doctrine, whereas the Amish church is;exclusive and dogmatic. He. speaks in the English and German languages. On one occasion. however, he spoke about twenty minutes in German, then for more, than an hour in a language unknewn to any one present, although there were persons of education and talent listening, and suddenly closed in Eng--lish, in which he said he had declared the word of. God in three languages, and showed how to gain the ark of safety, and avoid the pit. He sets forth but two doctrines: Christ, light, love, eharity; and the devil, darkness, hate, gelfishness, He often gives passages ‘of scripture, and being questioned the next morning about them, can not tell whether they are in the bible or not. He knows very little of what is in the Old' Testament, At the close of his discourse he gives ashort benediction and the Lord’s Prayer, and falls on his couch apparently exhausted, having the appearance of a dead man.— After a few moments of convulsive tremor he suddenly awakes, gets up, and ‘'walks out of the house. The next morning he gets up, says he “has had a good night’s rest, and goes to his work only to repeat the experience : of the day before; and so it has been ! for months every night. 0 | The mystery, of course, soon began to spread abroad. Clergymen and phy-. sicians. have visited the man, and are all alike puzzled, but agree that there 18 no deception. When he is speaking. ‘his’eyes ‘are closed, his abdomen and stomach distenided and hard as a stone, _not,yielding to pressure more than a case "of iron. As soon as he passes out of the convulsive stage the stomach and abdomen atonce become nat.urally soft and pliable. = His pulse. is remarkably strong, but not increased in rapidity. When he ceases speaking ‘his pulse becomes rather weak. Sev--eral attempts have been made to wake him while he was speaking, but the ‘most vigorous treatment failed even to check histalk: ' -

Every night this has been going on, with but two'exceptiond. One was when he was attending services in his own church! He wis seized with his drowsinegs, and ‘determined not to go home, but overcome it. : He, however, -did : not, but arose in. his :place, and preached with remarkable power, ‘much to the dstonishment of the meet~ ing. On'Sunday of last week a large number of Deople were: present from surrounding towns and cities.. After speaking over.an.heur and a half he closed. with: the -Lord's Prayer; but, instead of dropping on his couch, a 8 usual, he opened his eyes and quickly said: “My eyes have been opened. 1 stand - before”you a natural ‘man; ' It :has been reyealed to methat thisis the last time I shall speak to you. My work is done,and I? released,” His face expressed much joy; but, as he beheld the crowad of people, the change | ' was guickly that of surprise and fear. Since :then he: has not spoken;. and -none are more gratified than his famit Iy, ‘'who had become nearly worn out: ‘with' fatigue. and excitement. They | .give no explanation of the matter. In:deed they say nothing about it. - ’fib?? ‘er knows nothing Qg what he does or says, and op]xfisaygxe cannot help it; it is the W{)fl{ of the Lord, and he must ‘do His will.

‘"HAZZARD HAND.

How He Played 1t at Logansport.

A 'Dramatic Scene in an Attorney’s Office.

LoGANsPORT, Ind,, Oct.3l.—Geo. P, Hazzard, the defaulting President of the First National Bank of Auburn, Ind, whose affairs attracted so much attention a short timesince, turned up in this city to-day according to an agreement with D, D, Megody and P. V. Hoffman, of Auburn, to make a trade. These latter ‘gentlemen are indorsers of a note 0f.5300 held by the First National Bank of Auburn against Hazzard, and it was agreed between them that if Hazzard would pay them this sum they would transfer to him several valuable papers which they held and which Hazzard wanted to get possession of, and Logansport was the place agreed on to make the swap. F S e : ; -

Moody and Hoffman refused to surrender the papers until after the money was paid them. = Hazzard got eut a warrant, and with an officer proceeded to make a search for the papers, but without'success. He then swore out & charge of grand larceny, and-the case was tried before Justice Meck, who acquitted the accused. Hazzard now renewed his former offer of $3OO. The money ‘was counted out and laid on the table, then the coveted papers made tfeir appearance:and reposed alongside the cash. - o Hazzard pocketed-the papers, then grabbed the cash which he had borrowed of a friend named Champion, of Anderson, Ind. who accompanied him. Both of these men then pulled out their revolvers, and keeping the lawyers and Moody and Hoffman covered, backed out'of the attorney’s office where the transaction occurred. Hazzard was soon found and arrested and jailed on a charge of highway robbery. Officers of the law from Auburn have arrived and are waiting to tackle Hazzard when the Cass county officials are through with him, and the end is not yet. . Hrde

Gold Disturbances.

London dispatches state that the Bank of England has been paying a premium for eagles-and doubloons, and is gathering in gold from “every | };uarter. The Continent is sending - large amounts. There are two causes “ for the-Bank ‘of England providing itself with gold at this time. In the first place, the failure of the bamk of . Glasgow created - a panicky feeling that produced much alarm in Threadneedle street, and caused the Bank of England to be drawn on for gold to such an extent as: to impair its reserves. Then it must be remembered ‘that the Bank of England falls heir, by law, to the eirculation of any English, Scotch or Irish - Bank-that fails: The Bank of the city of Glasgow was | entitled to issue £72,000 of circulation, and having utterly failed, the Bank of England is entitled to add to its circulation the same amount the Bank of Glasgow was authorized to issue. But it can not add a pound of that to its precious circulation without first having-on hand in gold an amount equal to the volume of notes it may igsue. ' Hence to perfect its privilege to issue the £72,000 of eirculation it inherits from the Bank of Glasgow, it must obtain and keep on hand in its vaults £72,000 of gold. These two causes combined have operated to a great. extent in urging the Bank of England to accumulate gold even at the expense of paying a premium for it; all of which has contributed much: to agitate the gold market in Europe. Its effect may not be so soon felt on this side of the water, but it can not helpbe a disturbing cause inour money markets. St ]

. Bridging the Bloody Chasm “The Hon. John F. House was unanimously renominated as a candidate for Congress for the Nashville, Tenn,, congressional’ district by the Democracy. In his speech acknowledging the compliment, he'said: “In the next contest between the two great parties they will divide upon governmental policy and without sectional animosity. Sectional hatred will be eliminated. from the contest. So far as the south’ is concerned, I am certain that such will be the case. I cannot, fellow-cit-izens, find it in my heart to indulge in feelings of malice towards the people of the north.. When I witness their magnanimous and generous conduct toward the southern people, I feel like pulling off my hat, and 'standing uncovered in their presence. Grander than the victory of the Appomattox is. the victory won by the people of the north in their noble and generous contributions to the stricken and suffering south. Upon that fated field the ‘south surrendered her sword.— Within the shadow of the dark doing of the pestilence, beside the new-made graves of their heroic sons and daughters, with bowed head and tearful eyes, she extends her hand and sur-. renders her heart to the generous and’ magnanimous north. God’s own hand has bridged the bloody chasm. Let not the ambition. of man seek to re‘open.the- wounds,” = - i .
