' ls just as bad as ever. Last week there were
forty—six failures, some of them very large.
One jewelry house went up with liabilities to
the amount of $400,000, with over $700,000
worth of goods in their store—that is goods
that cost them that amount. This $700,000
worth of goods cannot be sold "to day for one-
l‘onrth their cost, for the reason that only
very few are buying jewelry, and that few
can buy the best in the world, of individuals.
at half the price they can of dealers. A di--
amond that never gets to be second-handed,
and the people ivho have them are willing
enough to realize on them, in the hopes Of
holding on till ,the better times come. If
any of your readers want a $20,000 cashmere
shawl, or a $510,000 diamond, they will d0'
well to strike in now. I would buy a dozen
or two myself, but for reasons.
I have no sympathy for those who fail be-
cause of faist, living, or extravagance, but
that is not the class that is going under
at this time. The failures of to-day. are
caused by the fearfdl depreciation of goods,
and the terrible dullness of trade. ‘It is hor-

law which increased the rates on all third

postage law in operation the last year, has
nearly, killed the profits of the large news-
papers. Sonic had incrcusal their size- by 11‘
' column or two to give their readers .thc ben-
efit of more reading, but the increased
weight of a half ouncevdoublcd the postage
and nearly ruined the proprietors. ’ I know.
of one of the largest and mdst popular news:
papers in the country, whose- increase of
postage by this infzimous bill _ was $20,000,
and there are plenty more to tell a similar
story.. -
If any one labors under the delusion that
the express companies need the protection of
high postage, let them come to New York
and see the magnificent buildings they do
business in, the palatial houses they live in,
and the enormous salaries the officials vote
themselves. Let it. be understood that the
profits of these monopolies do not show in
their statements. It_was urged in Washing-
ton that they were making only a moderate
profit on their capital, but they did not ex-
plain that they Were using up their profits in
$50,000 salaries, and that every stock-holder
quartered on the company every relative he
had in the World.
sauvxwr (ants.
in this city it. frequently happens that ser-
vants sue their employers for Wages. It is a
thing they are fond of; if they have any
small grudge to pay off, they take the time
when most inconvenient to demand the mon-
ey, and if it is not forthcoming at once, to
enter suit for the sake of seeing a delicate
mistress obliged to go to a hideous police
court among vagrants and reprobates; The
last case is that of a millionairc‘who was
sued by a girl for her wages, as servant in
the country. He put in the very just de-
ccrtain time,but left before it was up;
hence, be refused to pay her. He would
have justice, hadhcrested his defence there,
but he added a bill of the expense it cost to
get the girl, including fare to New York,.und
board for himself and wife, at a hotel, intel-
ligence office fees, journey to the girl's home
in Connecticut, her farc out and back, which
'amounted to nearly forty- dollars, 'which the
court stupidly refused to consider as any-
thing but a joke, though the employers who
have. the same frequent trouble to get. a ser-
use to them, are not inclined to so take. the
decision. This case will probably have an
effect in decidedly abating the servant-girl
cause to the employee‘s side of the subject,
for many who hire servants will not ,be slow
~ to make the master’s case their own in this
instance. .
Tnnzoaxrnxxmn
railroads running into New York have deci-
ded to reduce the fare so that the people may
come to New York first, and see the metrop-
olis as well as the" great show at Philadelphia.
The hotel keepers hold a meeting next week,
but whether it is to reduce the rates or decide
how much additional skinning the people
will stand, I don’t know. Probably the- lot-
a conscience, and very little business sense.

GreatBank Robbery.-
Northampton, Mass., woke up, .I‘Vednes-
day forcnoon, to learn of the most audacious,
deliberate and startling bank robbery that
Western Massachusetts, if not the whole
country, has ever known. A banchfifgééén
men, who had been lianginggmui the town
for at least a month Wuld seem, entered
the house/Wider Whittlesey of the
Nortl’liympton National Bank, and bound,
gagged and guarded for hours, seven pcdple.
'They compelled him to give the’ combina-
tions on the safe vault, ivaitcd until they
knew the night watchman had gone home,
and then, getting into the vault and safe with
amount of securities, locked up‘ the vault
after tliem,'and departed on the early morn-
ing Springfield train; and whence they came
and whither they went, is a riddle. An ex.
pert had to be summoned from New York,
and the lock was not opened until an early
‘hour Thursday morning. The result is suffi-
ciently appalling.
taken shows a total of $670,000. Of course
much of thisis not negotiable, so that it is
difficult to estimate the real loss to the bank
and the depositors. The bank officers offer
arcward of $25,000 for 'the return of the
property, and the conviction of the burglars.
The’ loss'falls comparatively lightly upon
the bank, the greater part of the securities
belonging to special depositors. .

Mr. Whittlesey, when asked to give the
three combinations to the vault, for the outer,
inner and chest doors, gaVc them wrong
twice and Office, but the burglars wrote them
down and made him . repeat. Of course
they caught him, and a pistol compelled the
truth, though he told them that four keys
were necessary to open the patent lock, three
of which were at the houses of, the other
bank officers. The lock upon the vault was
a peculiar and supposed especially safe affair.
It was Dexter’s double dial combination,
with Herring‘s patent for disconnecting the
tumblers from the spindle, was patented by
Oscar Yule, last April, and was put on this
batik only last October. For safety it was
accounted fully equal to, if not better than
the chronometer lock. But the gang knew
all the ins and outs of locks, for when Mr.
VVhittl‘csey told them that they could not en-

they responded. “ We know more about
bank locks than you do. "
Advice to a Coltl-FOoted Lady.
Madam, allow me to prescribe for-.you,'I
have hada long experience in the. manage-
ment of delicate women, and I believe I can
give you some important advice. For the
present I prescribe only for your feet.
. First—procure a quantity of woolen stock-
ings—not such as you buy at the stores un-
der the name of lambs wool that you can
read a paper through, but the kind your
Aunt J erusha in the country knits for you,
thick as a board, that will keep your feet
dry and Warm in spite of wind or weather.
Second—If you'want to be really thorough,
change them every morning, hanging the
fresh ones by the fire during the night. (.
Third—Procurc thick, calf-skin boots
double-uppers and triple sole, and wear them
from the first of' October till the first of
May. Make frequent application of good
.011 blacking. ,
Fourth—Avoid "rubbers altogether, except
a pair of huge rubber boots, which may be
worn for a little time through snow drifts or
a flood of water.
Fifth—Hold the bottoms of your feet in
cold water half an inch deep just before go—
ing to bed, two or three minutes, and then
rub them hard with a rough towel and your
naked hands. .
Sixth—Now, madam, go out frequently in
all weathers, and, believe me, not only will
your feet enjoy a good circulation but, as a
consequence of the good circulation in the
lower extremities,you’hcad will be relieved
of all its fullness and your heart of its pal-
pitation. Your complexion will be greatly
improved, and your health made better in
every respect—Din Lewis.

From Affluence tol-Pcmu'y.
A corrcspomlcntmf a paper at Utiea, N.
Y., writes from Rome, in the same State as
follows :— ' .
It has been said that truth is stranger than
fiction, although I don‘t know as any of the
great or small novel. writers have ever ac-
knowledged it use. true saying. Neverthe-
less therc are many matters coming to light
almost every day that tend to confirm the
truth of the old maxim. The following
strange story reads almost like a romance,
but it is true, and goes a little way to show
that “ Man’s inhumanity to man makes co'unt
less thousands mourn." Lucius H. Riudge,
a man from forty to forty-live years of age,
died in the Oneida county poor-house on the
11th inst. He was a poor paralytic, having
no use of his lowen limbs. And yet this
poor pauper but a few years ago was worth
from $75,000 to $100,000. He told his story
toa gentleman in this city. during the last
summer, and further developments show that
he spoke truthfully. Some ten or fifteen
years ago, Lucius II. Rindgc was engaged in
the dry goods business in the city of Utica,
Not many years ago he left Utica. with a
small amount of money, and went to Chicago.
He happened to strikathe metropolis of the
west in a prosperous time, and the result was
that he was reasonably successful in business
for some time. He’ went to speculutiugin
hops, and the tide ran with him - still. For-
tune favored him, and every thing he touch-
ed seemed. to turn to money. He was a
bachelor, and lived in the grandest style at a
first-class hotel. Horses, carriages, din:
monds, servants, everything that heart coul
wish for, or money purchase, were his. His
appointments were Monte Chiisto-iike, and
he enjoyed life to the utmost. In a few
years after the time he went to Chicago, he
was worth $75,000 at least. One day in the
midst of his prosperity, whileascending a
staircase, re slipped and fell, hurting his
back slightly. He thought nothing of it at
the time, but in a few months he was strick-
cn with paralysis one. day when “on
’Change.“ His carriage was ordered. He
was taken to his hotel, best medical skill
was procured, and her gradually grew better.
His physicans advised a trip to Europe. .He
accordingly visited the old country, and was
there treated by the best physicians in Eng.
land, Germany, and France. He gained
rapidly, and returned to America as he sup-
11o§ed entirely cured, or nearly so. 1113' re.
turned-to his business 11% Chicago again, and
all went well for six or eight months,'whcn
he suffered from another stroke of paralysis.
He was at that time worth $40,000 01‘
$50,000. He again received treatment from
the best physicians'in the west, but got no
better. I'I‘e'wcnt to New 'ork, with the
intention o’f again visiting Europe. At New
York he ran across a man whom -I will call
“Smith " (although that is not his real name).
And I here beg pardon of 'the whole family
of smiths for giving such a rascal as this
man proved himself to be the time-honored
and illustrious name of Smith. This "man
had been a great friend of Rindge, as he sup.
posed, and told him of a physician in South
Norwalk, Conn., who used the galvanic treat-
ment. He was confident this.doctor coui
cure him, he said, and persuaded hint-f0 go
to South Norwalk and place lirfiself under
treatment. Rindge we ,pfi't' up ata first—class
hotel, and tried t. 1 galvanic treatments year.
Smith ygfr‘ik'indly ” took charge of Rindge’s
.lillfiilfcss during all this time, received
his money from Chicago, managed all his
aflairs,‘paid his board, Are. At the end of
the year, Smith wanted a settlement,‘and lol
and behold, the sick man’s money was all
gone, and a heavy doctor’s bill was unpaid.
The doctor’s bill amounted to about $800,
and Smith, with his “liberality ’9 toward his
friend in distress, paid the bill, but took
about $1,500 worth of diamonds o'f Rindgc,
sayingihe would hold them as collateral until he
got his pay. In the mean time, the great
Chicago fire came, and' a great deal of
Rindge’s property was swept away. Indi-
viduals in Chicago against whom he held 'pa-
per were also left penniless by the fire, and
altogether he lost $25,000 or $30,000. He
found he was getting no relief from the phy-
sician, and beginning to surmise that he was
being defrauded by Smith he returned to
New York, where Smith wasengaged in
business. He endeavored to get a statement
of receipts and expenditures from Smith,
but was put off on one pretext and another.
Rindge had a $10,000 policy on his life, the
premium on which was coming due. Not
having the. means to meet the payment,
Smith was “ induced " to pay the premium
and hold the policy until Rindge could re-
deem it., Smith took the policy to a lawyer
and had an absolute assignment - of the same
to himself drawn up, and by misrepresenting
it to Rindge induced him to sign it. Find-
ing he had gotten all he could out of poor
Rindge—allhe possessed, in fact,—-—hc paid
no more attention to him, and Rindgc could
get no settlement. Heart-sick and dicoura-
ged, Rindge took what little money ; he had
and came to Utica. '- -He stayed in the
hospitals thereaslong as they would keep
him, and'having few or no friends he was
taken to the poor-house, where he remained
The deceased has no relatives
except one brother, a dissolute fellow,
whom Smith has in his employ in a menial
position. Application was made to Smith
to advance money on the policy in order that
Rindgc might be taken from the poor-house
and pass his last few days in comparative
conifert, but he replied he knew his business
and would do nothing of the kind. Parties
representing Rindgc will try to prevent the
payment of the policy to Smith, except so
much as he had paid in premiums and a
reasonable sum for his “trouble." A few
days ago Smith was in Rome. getting proofs
of the death of Rindge, in order to collect
the payment of the policy. Smith is said to
be a wealthy man. A‘vein of “ true love 1’
runs through this story, but Iam not at lib-
erty to touch that point, except to state that
whatever pan be saved from the'estate of
the 'deceased goes to his adianced by his last
will and testament. Rindge’s fate was in-
deed a hard one—to fall from his once proud
position and die a poor crippled pauper in a
country poor-house. And all through the
treachery of one whom he thought was his
friend. '
What Men Need Wives _;For.
It is not to sweep .the house, make the
bed, darn the socks» and cook the meals,
chiefly that amen wants a wife. If this is
all he needs, hired help can do it cheaper
thanawife. If this is all, when alyoung
man calls to see a lady send him into the
pantry to taste the bread and cake she has
made, send him to inspect the needle-work
nd bed-making, or put a broom in her hand,
and send him to witness its use. Such things
are important, and the wise young men will
quickly look after'tliem; but what the true
man wants with a wife isher companionship,
sympathy and love. The way of life has
many dreary places in it, and man‘ needs a.
companion to go with him. A man is some-
times overtaken by misfortune; he meets
with failure and defeat; trials and tempta-
tions beset him, and he needs one to stand
by and sympathize. He has some hard but-
tles to fight'with poverty, enemies, and with
sin; and he needs a woman that, when he
puts his arms around her, he feels he has
something to fight for, she will - help him to
fight; that she .will put her lips to' his ear
and whisper words of counsel and her hand
to his heart and import inspiration. All
through life, through storms and through
sunshine, conflict and victory; through ad-
verse and through favoring winds, man
needs a woman’s love. The heart yearns for 4
it. A sister’s or amothcr’slovc will hardly
supply the need. Yet many seek for some-
thing'furthcr than success in housework.
Justly enough, half of these get ,nothing
more; the other half, surprised beyond
measure, have got more than they sought,
Their wives surprise them, by bringing out a
noble idea in nuu'riagc, and -(liselosing a
treasure of courage, sympathy, and love.

A Girl's Adventures.
EIGHT MONTHS ON BEA AND LAND IN MAN'S
ATTIRE.
In recorder Parsell’s court-room in As-
- toria, New York, Tuesday, sat a rosy young
woman of eighteen, the picture of health,
wearing a rough 'suit of men's clothes, and
looking likca nice boy. She was arrested
in Long Island City, Saturday evening, and
yesterday she told her story with composure.
IIer maiden name was Alice Holmes,- but
she has ‘bome several aliases, among them
Jennie M. Dotcn, Shewas bern in Ware-
l1am, Massachusetts, although her relatives
now live at MariOn, Massachusett. IIer fa-
ther was English, while her mother was a
native of Massachusetts. Up to the time she
was fourteen years she remained at home and
attended school. During a vacation she
made avisit to the West, where she made the
acquaintance of a telegraph operator named
Bastable. The acquaintance ripened into
intimacy, 11nd they concluded to get married
clandestincly, she being in her fifteenth year
and he in his sixteenth. After a brief cx-‘
pericnce of married life. however, they sep-
arated, and she returned home, while he re-
mained in the west. - The fruit of this mar-
riage was a child, which is now in its third
year. Alice got employment as a book-keep-
er for Messrs. J. E. Luscombe &_ Co., at
Plymouth, Massachusetts, where she 'was
knownas Nellie Archer! her-child, meantinfe,
being placed with her brother, with whom it
still remains. Her father dying, left con-
siderable property, of which her mother has
persistently refused to give her any portion.
She finally had some serious difficulty with
him, and had, as she expressed it, “ a choice
of leaving the State for a few months or
being placed in confinement."
She accordingly left home on the 13th of
February lat; went to Attleboro, Mast,
and worked at the straw business. Here the
idea struck her that she would adopt men’s
attire, and donning a suit, she went to Prov-
idence, where she was engaged in a coal-
yard of Hopkins &Pomeroy. Tiring of this,
on the 17th of April she 'went to Clark’s
Falls, Conn, where she engagedjon a farm,
and remained until the last Monday in J une,
when she returned to Providence, and found
cmploy'ment upon a little river steamer call-
yed the Schultz. After a few days,‘ becom.
ing dissatisfied, she went to Newport, where
she shipped onboard the United States steam
frigate Powhattan, being enabled to pass ex-
amination by the Surgeon, as she alleges, by
the evidence of two» young fellows of her
acquaintance who shipped with her, who
knew her sex, and who each paid the Sur-
geon $25 .to pass her. She shipped under
the name of Albert B. Cliifton‘. The Pow-
hattan went to New London, 11nd subscqmnt-
Iy came to Brooklyn Navy Yard. Orders
coming for the Powhattan to proceed to.Port-
au—Prince, and not desiring to go so far away
from home, “Aibert”.deserted, and made
her way to New London, where she shipped
on board the, wood schooner, Jamestown,
running to Virginia. She made two trips,
when» she returned to New London and ship-
ped on board a. coal schooner, the ~_William
H. Baker, Charles B. Bake-r. commander.
After two trips she left this vessel at New
London, and being short of money, smug-
gled herself on board the steamer City of
Boston, and arrived in New York on the
17th'of November. The next day she ship-
ped on board the coasting schooner Czar,
' Captain D. 1V. Hammond, running between
Boston and New Yerk, and went across the
river to Long Island City, where she was
employed by Mr. Pirz, proprietor of the
Camdia Chemical Works at Dutch -_Kills,
whoagre'cd to pay her eight dollars a week, .
with board and clothing, until spring, She
boarded with AlfredHuhn for a week, when
she left, as she alleges, onaccount of the bad
order in which the house was kept, and went to
board at the company’s boarding-house.
While at Hahn’s, there was a suspicion _that
she was a woman. She was detained, and
taken to the First Precinct Station-house, at
Astoria. She. had an examination before
Recorder Parselis, who decided to discharge
her, on her promise to resume her-proper
attire. and to leave the city. She says she
likes theses, is never sea-sick, and prefers
men’s clothing, because she can see more and
learn more as a man than as a woman.

A Husking Bee.
Boston papers describe a husking bee at the
home of General N. P. Banks, in Waltham,
Mass, one full evening, got upin aid of the
National Centennial, by a committee of ladies
acting under the leadership of Mrs. S. D.
Warren. Rev. Mrs. Guild received her up-
pointment as chairman of the committee from
'_ the Woman’s Centennial Bureau in Boston,
and Mrs. Banks, Miss Miles, Mrs. Dr. Wor-
cester, Mrs. Parsons, Mrs. Lothrop, Miss
Hobbs, and other ladies uniting in forwarding
the arrangements. Gen. Banks lent a helping
hand, and threw open his house and burn for '
the husking. General Banks raised this year
about:_200 bushels of com, 100 bushels of
which were placed in the middle: of the barn,
floor in a rick, with seats on either side. In
order the more succesfuily to realize to the
full the fun attending=the discovery of red
ears, 100 of these were'scattered throughout
the winrow. The barn was lighted up, and
connected with the house by a covered way, a
large marquee in the center fomfilg a con.
spicuous feature of the arrangements. The
interior of this was brilliantly illuminated
with Chinese lanterns. An admission fee of
fifty cents was charged, and. as no expenses
whatever having been incurred, the receipts
, amounted to a considerable sum. The guests
began to arrive soon after 7 o'clock, and the
house and barn were crowded, the Gen. and
Mrs. Banks being assisted in receiving the
guests by their daughters, Miss 'Minnie Sar-
gent and Maud. The basking commenced
about eight o’clock, young and old entering
into the sport, demanding, receiving and pay-
ing forfeits as One after another lucky one»
discovered a red ear. Thehusking continued
about an hour, at the expiration of which time
the company were invited to a substantial col-
lation, 'such ohms served to the boys and girls
of New England 100 years ago. This was 11
gratuity _on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Banks,
’ond consisted of baked beans, brown bread.
90110811, apple and mince piei doughnuts and
cheese, with coffee and sweet order. The beans
and brown bread came smoking hot from the .
ovens, while the cider for the occasion was
pressed out that afternoon, and consequently
was unfermented. At the conclusion of the
supper the company joined in dancing, and
prolonged the festivities till a late hour. The
occasion was one of great enjoyment.
The great popularity of seal-skin jackets
will receive a severe sét back froman incident
which recently occured in Liverpool. A la-
dy wearing one of those fashionable garments
was Waiting at a railroad station when a
polar bear who happened to be passing in a
barrel, seized her around the/body, and she
was “severely squeezed” before the animal
could be induced to release her. On an ac-
tion for dam sagainst the. railroad com-
pany, counae for. the bear excused his con-
duct on the ground that he probably mistook
thelad foraseal; but the jury gave the .
pluinti $300. Hereafter we hope no. lad
