DISGRACED.

“Piiii.aiieUmiia. December, 10,188 T. 'Ur John Jonet: "You sre requested to drsw two weeks salary and for reasons wltn which 1 trust you'are acquainted. seek another position. “P. V. Knickek, •‘President Drevets’ Bank." How many times John Jones bad read this note he could hardly have told. “Reasons with which I treat you are acquainted.” He, the cashier of the Droveis’ Bank, dismissed for ressons with which he was acquainted. What did it mean? What were tho ressons, and why was he supposed to be acquainted with them? These were some of the qm s!ions which he was putting to Limself ss he Eat his room almost stupefied. He did not fear inafcil.ty to precure another posh ion. John Jones wrs too well known and had been too faithful inbis Bjrvictß at his back to fear that; bet why wts he dismissed? Weil, he couldn’t find cut en'il the next day, unless to be cure, he called upon Mr. Knicker at his home, and that John conidn’t do in the state of mind he wt s in- just then. The feelirg of injured innocence is net altogether unpletsnt after all, and .1 jhn fiaal'y t’i.rpoeed of the constantly lecorm g quest iocs and prepared to go oat He would go and see Beth, bis Beth, and together they would talk overthe matter and would decide what to do. John Jones had been sick all that day. A b ind headache had begun to bother uim before he had left the bank the day before, and had grown constantly woise all that n'ght until when morning came he wts unable to go to .bis butiness. The headache was forgotten now; occasionally a throb of pain would make bitn wince physically, but h's thoughts wrra too thoroughly occupied with that unaccountable note to realize the pain. , He soon had left the house and decided to walk up Chestnut street and thence to see Beth. He raw no one, did not even feel the exertion of walking until he brought up with a bang against • gentlemah going in the opposite direction. He mechanically apologized end started on, but soon did the same thing again, and saw .he was unable to think about the present, even enough to dodge his fellow pedestrians. He called a cab and gave the driver oraers to take himtoßalh’s home. Before he realized that they had s’artsd he Was aroused by the sadden pulling np of the vehicle, and the man clambered down from his seat, opened the door aud rtoed waiting for him to get ont. He did so and started up to ring the bell when the driver oil el after him. He had forgotten the man's fee. lie paid him and then palled the bell. The door opened and he passed in, not speaking to the servant who admittedhiro. He seated hiilself aud didn’t move for three mutates. This time it was tl e servant who aroused him. “Who do you wish to see, sir?”

. -» -Wa then noticed for the first time tha 1 he fad never seen the men before. He tercel on him, end the men sterted beck end asked him if he were ill. John pud ho attention to his question but told him to tell Miss Hughes that Mr. Jones was in the parlor. He then settled inti his former position end did not move again until Mr. Hughes entered end said: “Well, si*? ’ “ := John looked up end asked for lietb. “My daughter is engaged at present,” said Mr. Hughes, rßeth engaged when he, her betrothed husband, was waiting to site he. That was etrange; he couldn’t understand it. But he said: Very well. “I will wait.” "Miss Hughes will be unable to see von this evening end requested me to give yon this package. I am sorrow, Mr. Jones, but I must beg yon to ditcontinue ycur calls.” Greet God! W hat did it mean? John was thoroughly, painfully, wide awake now, and spiang to his feet. “Bertha can’t see me, and yon ask me todkcontinnemy visits? Please tell me why?"

He was now standing perfectly stiaight and gazieg composedly but intently at Mr. Hughes. “I trust that you understand the reasons, Mr. Jones, as weft is I do,” said Mr. Hughs*, with a peculiar look. Almost the identical Words Knicker had used in h's note. John tarsed without s word sed Uft the house. He did not pat on his overcoat, although the nfght wrs coll. He tipped his hat over his eyes and walked—almost ran away froth the house. He now realized how sick he was. His head throbbed until he thought it would bunt. What did he care. Iteven made him smile a little to think of it. He pulled bis hat down hard, so hard that its tightness hurt him. „He wondered if that would make bis head ache any harder. If it coßid he should like to have it. He didn’t notice where he was going, but suddenly surprised himself by unlsckins the door of his house, going up stairs and Bitting doan. Ah! there was the afternoon paper." He uould real the accounts of the m’sery of others aud smile to think how much more miserable he was than any of them. He picked it np, glanced it over and was about to lay it down again when his attention was arrested by this headline: “A BANK IN A HOLE.” DBOVKBS’ DEFRAUDED BY AN OLD KM PLOYE. What was that? The Drovers’ Bank defrauded! Why, he used to be cashier at the Drovers’ Bank, What a long time it seemedsjnee he had stood at the cashier’s desk, and yet it was only yesterday, lie would read the article anyway. He didn’t care now abont Mr. Knicker’s not 9. Beth’s message had inflicted so much deeper a sting that he had almost forgotten the note, but he wculd read the article, and he thought he should feel pletsed to learn that Knicker had been cheated. This morning, when P. V. Knicker, the President of the Drovere’ Bank, reached his office,he iound a note telling him that his cashier; John Jones, was ill and Would be unable to be at his desk to-day. Mr. Knicker is a very carefal man in business matters, and he decided to take the duties of cashier upon himself until Mr. Jones was in a condition to relieve him. He accordingly unlocked the vaults and preps red for work. Soon Adam, Mealie &. Johnson presented a check. for a large amont, and by re ferring to the record of yeiterday’s business Mr. Knicker found that a package of ten one thousand dollar bills had been deposited. He decided to ose one of those bills in cashing the check, and going to the vault’'removed the package supposed to contain them. In counting the money he found cine one thousand dollar bills, and one hundred dollar bill. Oa investigation it transpired that the last person who had handled the bills was John Jones the Cashier. Before passing into the hands of the Cashier the bills had, however, been handled by four subordinates, who reported there were ten of the one thousand dollar notes in the packet when they saw it. I then went to Mr. Jones, and one of the clerks happened to be standing near by when Mr. Jones took it. The clerk noticed particularly that Mr. Jones seemed to find it all right, but that instead cf pinning the little slip of paper with the amount marked on it, which is customary to place around packages of money,.he withdrew one of the tills and laid the others loose on his desk. The clerk was then called to some other part of the room and can give no farther information. Other evidence contlueively shows that notwithstanding Mr. Jones’ previous integrity, he has yielded to temptation and gone the way of many others. It is ttrenticned incidentally that that very morning Mr. Jones had said he was in great need of nine hundred dollars, the exact amount extracted from the package. Mr. Knicker, in consideration cf Mr. Jones’ former uprightness and strict discharge of duty will not proaecute. John read this once, twice, three times. He only uttered two words, “My God.” Falling back in his chair with wide open eyes he sat staring at the wall. The clock ticked away on the mantle shelf, the fire grew lower and almost died, the lamp sputtered and smoked; but still John Jones sat back in his chair, staring, staring at the wall. Fina’ly it gradually became light and the noise of traffic began in the street. John moved uneasily, looked around the room and got np. His head, he thought, was aching somewhat harder than on the night before, and he bathed it. There was a spot on hia caff and he pnt on a fresh pair. Yes, he was sure hie head was aching harder. What was i uftt uoifir. tydj, oi coarse, some OD6 was knocking at his door. He would open it and see who it was, a messenger boy. He took the message, opened it, add forgot tij read it He wisTstanding still aud wondering if it was foggy outside, nr if hia ayes were dim. “The lady said to wait for an answ. r,” said the boy. Oh yes. There was that note. He would read it. _ “Dear John —Come and see me to day. I cannot believe it.—Beth.” Who was Beth. Oh! he remembers Mow, she was the girl who had promised tomarry him. Well, that was a good joke. Yts, that was very funny. Had promised to marry him, the thief. The

word he thought sounded well, so he slid it over aid over again. Tbisl! Thief! Thiel! The boy asked for the suswer. “Well,” he laughed, wildly, as he said it, “tell her I will be there.” John sat down again, and again began gluing at the wall. It was nearing lo o'clock now, and John got np and pnt on bis overcoat and hat, scrupulously biuehed them and went out. He again took a cab and went to Beth’s house. .This time he paid the cabman, and as be went in was about to speak to the servant when he saw that it was Beth herself who had opened the door. He, however, was not at all surprised, but said good morning to her much as he would have done to the servant. “Ob, John, I am so glad , you have John, are you ill?” He laughed and again said gx>d morning. He preceded her into the- parlor and sat down in the same chair be had occupied the night before. He was laughing quietly to himself all the time. His head was aching ter:ibly now, and thet wrs very funny. “John, dear John, tell me it isn’t true. I know it is not. I was hasty last night, John; won’t yon forgive me?” John looked at her, brushed a speck of lint from bii knee and laughed a little louder. “John, John, why don’t you answer me? Why don’t you tell me it isn’t true? But no, I won’t ask that; I know it itn’t.” She threw her arms around him and sank at his side. He did not move, but shopped laughing. Oh! how his head did ache. No, it had stopped aching. Where was he? Oh, yes. Beth was with hiqp and was sobbing. Why was she crying? He didn’t remember, but thought he was connected with it in so me way, he didn’t know how. He lifted her head from his knee, bent down, and kissed her. Kisied her many times, and drew her up, folding his arms about her, and telling her hs was sorry. What he was sorry for he couldn’t have said. He got up and draw.ug her to him, kissed her again and Slid, “Good-bye, Beth.” He could see herlip3 move, but he didn’t hear anything. He went to the door, opened it, and wefct down to tbe street and wondered why the horses and wagons didn’t make auy roise. How silently they went along; how- quiet everything was. He couldn’t even hear his own footstep 3. He looked at hia watch and saw that it was almost twelve o’clock. Tbe bank had been open two hours. He would be late for basinets. Well, he would hurry. - ~ John had forgotten that he was- no longer cashier of the Drovers’bank, he only remembered that he would be first at his desk. He reached the tank, wa’ked in, took off his coat aud hat and started to go behind the desk. Mr. Knicker confronted him and he Buddenly saw it all again. The note, the newspaper and the night before at Beth’s. This man, tbie benevolentlooking o’d gentleman who was frowning at him now, had branded h : m a thief. “It’s a lie. It’s a lie,” he shouted. How hie head ached. Well, he had told Mr. Knicker that it was a lie; he could go now. He took down his coat and hat, put them on, and went out into the street. How was this? This wasn’t the city street he had just left; this was the old grass-grown lane running before hie old birds sang. There was the yard with the old farm wagons and hay stacks at one side, and yes—yes—there was the old tortoise shell cat sunning herself on the fbnee. There were the old milk pans, bright as silver, standing in a row on the grass by the kitchen doorT- But best—far beet of all—there was his mother, h :< 3 mother who had lain in the churchyard up cn the hill for ten yeans holding out her arms to him. “Oh, mother! Oh, my dear old mother!” All was black. When John regained consciousness there were many faces around him, but the light was so dim that he couldn’t see whether he knew them or not. He heard some one say in a soft voice, “He has opened his eyes.” Then one of the faces leaned forward and kissed him. It was Beth. “John, John, don’t you know me?” John lifted his arms and pressed the sweet face to his breast. “John, here is Mr. Knicker come totall you it was all a terrible mistake,” John didn’t look at Mr. Knicker, but kgpt bis eyes on the sweet face close to him. His band gently smoothed her hair, and he kissed her lips.' "Beth, my darling Befh, how I love yon. Of course I forgive you, and we will go—” His voice sounded strange and weak. How hard it was to tak. “We willgo and get married, won’t we dear? Why, there is mother. Mother, this is Beth. We are going to mar—” —John-Joats- was dead,

A Great Rabbit Drive.

At the big rabbit drive nine miles from Freeno, Cal, the other day, two thousand persons were present. Five hundred men and boys formed the line drive, and, startingfour miles from the corral, slowly swept down to it. The wings were half a mile in length, and the corral proper was seve n ty-fi ve fee tin dismt ter and inclosed with a wire screen. Into this inclosure were driven and killed two thousand jack rabbits, and one thousand others were > killed in the drive and outside. 1 .

TOPICS OF THE TIMES.

Senator Kenna, chairman of the National Democrat'c congressional committee, is send iog out an order to postmasters, which reads as follows: “Dear Sir—lnclosed I send, a few blank sheets, on which I a ill be obliged if you will kindly make a list, ai far as convenient, of the names snd politics of the patrons of your office and forward to me. Yours trnly, "John E. Kenna.” If the Journal were a betting paper it would not hesitate to wager large sums that of the thousands of Democratic rent masters who receive this order not one will remember Grover Clevelard’s celebrated order to officeholders or the fact that tbe President is Mr. Kenna’s superior officer and refuses to send the desired list on these ground*. The Democratic machine works just as smoothly as ts no pretense of patting a civil service spoke in the wheel had ever been made.—lniii napo’ ; s Journal. The appearance of Senator Voorhees in the Supreme Court of the United States in defense of the convicted tallysheet forgers was an act of flagrant indecency. Mr. Voorhees is one of the Senators from Indiana, elected, it is true as a political partirau, but to represent the entire State. He is the servant of the people, not of a party, and for. his services, such as they are, he is paid out of the public treasury. The propriety of his practicing law during the {session of the Senate, under any circumstances, is very questionable, but his appearance in defense of Coy and Bemhamer was simply disgraceful, a degradation of his office and an insult to every honest man in the State. If he took a lee the money should burn the dishonored hand that received it. If he vo’uuteered his services from political motives it was a still more shameless act. A Senator of the United States from the great S ate of Indiana should have left to hired attorneys or personal sympathizers the defense in the great high court of the Nation of this infamous crime against the purity of the ballot and the laws of the land. Senator Voorhees has gone out cf his way to disgrace himself and to furnish another proof cf his own and his parly’s sympathy with fraud.

S. nitor Sherman delivered a peech, yestei day, on the bill to admit Dakota, in the course of which he took occasion to recall some interesting facts of history. Among other things, he reminded his hearers and the country that the electoral commission by which the presidential contest of 1876 was settled was not a Republican but a Democratic measure, twenty-six Democrats in the Senate having voted for it, and only twenty-one Republicans, while fourteen Republicans and only one Democrat voted against it. This fact has always appeared in the records, out it has not prevented Democratic papers and orators from denouncing the commission bill ss a Republican measure. Senator Sherman a’so took occasion to declare his conviction that Tilden’s inauguration as President would have been a triumph of fraud. Of this there is not a particle of doubt. The Tilden conspiracy was the beginning of the Democratic scheme to suppress the Republican vote in the Siuth. It came near succeeding in 1876, ani it has virtually succeeded in every election since. Cleveland owes his election to it, as do scores of Southern Congressmen. Mr. Sherman has been in public life a good while, and has a good memory. His habit of recalling facts is apt to prove embarrassing to Democratic statesmen whose fort is in ignoring them.—Journal. Features That Might Be Improved. Indianapolis Journal. The Sentinel declares the suit of the Attorney General for tbe removal of the “Dr.” Harrison Board of Trustees from the Insane Hospital control to be based upon mere partisan grounds, and not brought for the good of the public service. The Bentinel says: "If there are or have been abuses in the Insane Hospital under its present management the Sentinel would not, for a single moment, attempt to screen the - persons responsible therefor.” " The Bentinel farther says: “There are no doubt various features of the management which might be improved.”” Bat a few days ago the Sentinel said that Governor Gray ’a effort to remom Dr. Harrison and Mr. Gapen from the Ineane Hospital Board was proper, and in the interest of Reform, which the Sentinel would ever be found ready to ad vc cate and defend. If the Bentinel was honest in its declaration ten days ago, what has caused the sudden change in its opinions and utterances? The SaDtinel has already been compelled to defend tne Coy tallysheet forgery gang, and now the Coy-Sullivan-Harrison Ineane Hospital crowd have forced it to become their apologist and defender. As a “reform” organ the Sentinel may well exclaim: “If so soon I am done for. What was I ever begun for?” But the public has an interest in this matter. The Sentinel ,»ays there are “various features ol management which might be improved.” What are they? sfe —~ H Could there be an improvement in the matter of supplying maggoty butter for the use of the inmates? Could there be an improvement in l the matter of slaughtering cholera hogs

for the tables of the unfortunate patients? Could there be an improvement in the matter of supplying bad bread, decayed frnit and other sorts of on wholesome food? TjT~ % Could there bo an immevement in the method of whipping the patients with rnbber hose, knocking them down by brutal attendants, and scalding them to death in the bath tubs? Could there be an improvement in the method of furnishing and receiving supplies whereby black-mailing wonldnot be p iwerfal enough to force the acceptance of unwholesome gcoia? • Could there be an improvement in the method of appointing attendants and nurses, whereby party ward-* orkera and bummers might be displaced by competent assistants? Could there be an improvement in the methods of management,whereby a man who was cot present at a Board meeting for an entire yt&r would not be paid his salary in adrarc9? A number of other questions might be asked of a similar nature, but these will be enough for the present. The Sentinel has said that there are “vario us features which might be improved.” If the ones here specified are not proper ones for improvement, will the Sentinel be kind enough to say just what features could be improved? Would it not be au improvement to kick the whole Harrison-Coy-Sullivan gang ont of the control aud mantgoment of the chief benevolent institution of the State? If not, why not? The annual convention of the Slate Republican Leegue will meet in Indianapolis on the 2d of Ma 7. Erery Republican club is entitled to five delegates. Hon. J; N. Huston, chairman, requests chat meetings be held at once, if delegates have not been already appointed, to select delegates. Each county is entitled to five delegates. It is expected that this will be a very important meeting of representative Republicans from every county in the State, and from every Republican club. Delegates should be selected without delay.

OCEAN PARASITES.

A Shark's Curious Appendage While Swimming. Saturday Review. r If one wbtehes the pools as the tile goes down one may often see the shell which holds a hermit crab decorated with a set of anemone. Tbe anemone, one might suppose, had taken up its position on its own accord when the shell was at rest. Mr. Goose, however, says that in every instance when he detached the anemone from the shell the hermit crab picked it up and held it in its claws against the shell “for the space of ten minutes at a time, until fairly attached by a good strong base.” Is such a strange proceeding simply dictated by a love of finery? A still more enrions case, mentioned by Prof. Mohns, “Baitrage zur Murerfauna der Insel Maurities,” includes one to a different conclusion. He tells ns of two distinct genera of crabs in the Mauritius which have a habit of firmly grasping a sea anemone in either claw and carrying them about. The professor does not attempt to explain the habit, but it seems to us that it may very likely be a ruse, under cover of which to approach their prey, just as wild fowlers endeavor to steal up to ducks or swans in the “watches” or pieces of open water in the middle of frozen floods, by carrying a laurel or pine bough in their hands. One animal will make use of another simply as a means of locomotion. A good example for this is the sucker fish of the Mexican Gulf, which adheres by means of a sucker situated on the back of its head to the belly of a shark. Prof. Mosley write*: “The sharks were often seen attended by one or more pilot fishes, as well as bearing the suckers’ attached to them. I often watch with astonishment from the deck the curious association of three eo widely different fish as it glided round the ship like a single compound organism.”

A Good Reason Why.

Detroit Free Press. They had been talking of the sharp games played on innocent people 1 y sharp men, when Green looked np and said: ■ “Gentlemen, I don’t brag about my wife being sharper than a razor, but I’ll tell you what I’ll do. I’ll write a note, sign it with my own name, and ask her to deliver my Sunday suit to bearer for repairs. You may ssnd it up to the house, and I’ll bat yon $5 she’ll be to sharp to let the clothes go.” “We’ll take that bet!” called two or three voices, and "there being , five of them they chipped in a dollar apiece. The note was written and signed and dispatched by a messenger boy. In half an hour he returned, empty-handed as to clothee,- but having a- B&te which read: —: “Come off the perch! All the clothes you have in the world are on yonr back!” “Gentlemen,” said the winner, as he pocketed the fiver, “let me recommend it to you as something which always wins, and as I must meet a man at 3 o’clock IwMlnow bid you good-day!” The engineers on the Belt railroad at Chattanooge, Tenn., have been voluntarily given an increase of 5 per cent, an hour, or 30 cents.

SPORT INSANTA CRUZ.

What the Gunner Finds u Shoot at in tbe Famous Ram District Forest and Stream. |T Net long ago affairs obliged me very reluctantly to visit fßonta Cruz, and more from force of habit than any anticipation of hatiag much use for them, I stowed in my trank a shotgun and a rifle, with a plentiful Bnpply of ammunition. The matters which claimed my attention need not have detained me on the ielznd longer than the month of March, bnt it was the fat of June before I succeeded in tearing myself away from the beautifal place, and such a profusion and variety of game as never before fell in my way. Santa Cruz is now under Dansh government, but something like 150 years ago, when the English held temporary possession, au old colonial Governor of sporting proclivities conceived the idea of introducing an old world institution in the shape of a deer forest, for the exclusive use of himself and his ecu ft. -1' To this end he d'spalched a schooner to the coast of Ncrth America, from whence she returned freighted with a large and lively cwgr of Virginia deer (Ceivcs virginianufi) cf fceth seifs and all a>es. T at se were turned loose in a well woededand watered tract of laud to mult ply and increase after tbeir kind bnt hardly bad he began to enjoy the fruit of his enterprise when this energetic old Governor was gathered so his fathers, aud the epoit of hunting fell into desuetude. Freedom from mcleefotion, abundance o! food and a perfectly congenial c’imati have caused the deer to multiply to enormons numbers, until jat th j present time they are more common all over the island than cotton tails in New Jeisey. Besides deer there are quail, wild pigedhp, several varieties of doves, and in the winter months duck’, plover and snipe swarm in the canefields, woods, mountains and lagoons. On one occasion, daring a ride of fouiteeu milee, I counted dozens of forks of quail by the roadside, and no less than seven deer in sight at various periods of the journey; one of the lattar, a fuparb seven pronged buck, dfscended the grassy bank into the road not a hundred feet ahead of me, {topped half way acroip, {fared inquisitively, and then leituiely continued his way up the opposite bank, attaining the eminence of which he took another delibeiatilook at me and then with a frisky to ; s of his head and a wiggle of his wh ta tail trotted into the dense growth of sugar cane. I was entirely unarmed at thß timp, but had there been a w hole arsenal handy I should not have had the heait to violate his friendly confidence by {hooting him.

Mrs. Grant's Quiet Life.

Chicago Tribunes New York correspondence. Of the living wives of Presidents Mrs. Ulysses 8. Grant leads as quiet a life as Any. She has gone to Florida#ow with the family of ex-Gov. Lelaad Stanford, with whom she :s very intimate. She has cf late been writing reminiscence*. When Col. Fred Grant was asked if she meant to publish them in a hook he replied that her work in that way was entirely a matter of impulse and that there was no certainty as yet whether it would ever be printed. It is snre that she will not lack opportunity. Un counted publishers are bidders for the manuscript, but they are told that she has nothing to sell. The probability is that Mark Twain’s firm, having done so well for her and themselves in the issue of Gen. Grant’s memoirs, willbeable and willing to outbid their rivals. Nevertheless, when Ulysses S. Grant, jr., went into the Cosmopolitan Magazine as Vice-President and stockholder, it was thought in literary circles that Mrs. Grant would help him by putting her reminiscences in that periodical. Col. Grant denies strenuously that hia brother fa being barked in any other way than by a loan of money from his mother, and the authorized asset tion is that, although shares of the stock stand in young Ulycsesi’s name, he is trustee for her. That is a legal technicality to protect him as a bankrupt from the Grant and Ward failure. My careful prediction is that Mrs. Grant will publish something within the year.

One Result of the Kaiser's Death.

Londoa World. One effect of the late Emperor’s death ia that folly 30,000 of Germans resident in England who evaded the conscription and the call to arms on the breaking out of the Franco-Prusrian war will be free to visit the fatherland without incurring the risk of being tried by court martiate as deserters, as their offence is only coeval with the late Emperor’s reign.
