. storV of an Iowa National
T " e * Bank.
The failure of the Merchants’ National
k at Dnbuqne, Iowa, is one of the
. jgmarkable occurrences of thepanic.
^.bank was organized in 1865. The
jv.Uvnt. Sheffield, had been for many
^.identified with the dry goods busi-
’ .of that city, and was also promi-
^ sWeonne tod with new railways. The
,as!ii<r was Babbage, formerly a private
'/■At. These gentlemen retained their
i, es up to the hour of the collapse, but
vr’ien that cauie it was discovered that
t *tv had stolen §320.000. The ease with
gblb this stupendous theft was con-
•animated is not the least wonderful part
, t , lt . affair. Says the Dubuque Herald:
All this (stealing) was done unknown

„• items, etc. Entries upon the
books, believed to be false, aggregate not

Here is a bank which has been in ope
mtion some eight years. During all that
time it had been subjected to systematic
jobbeiy; an 1 yet nobody mistrusted, no-
bJv knew it. Tae deposits in the bank
»cre larger than any other in the city.

Eok'h t " gilt it worth while to see

Shefhel i was engaged in pushing the

Babbage was universally respected,
ar. l. u uv. t ie public confidence to such
a rema, k.dde degree that a man who had
dared to hint aught against him “ would
have been looted out of town.”
Such are the outlines of a failure
which has no equal in the fcstory of
national, or almost any other, hanking.
Eli, marvelous. It is marvelous that
the only thoroughly rotten bank in the
city should have all the deposits; that a
coniiiwu of entire unsoundness, extend-
m,' over the best part of adecade, should
not be detected; and that the biggest
thief in the community should turn out
to be the precise man in whom everybody
had the utmost reliance.
. Remarkable Coincidence.
We find the following in the Memphis
Ledger of the 7th:
While the funeral of Rev. Dr. Bowman,
late lamented pastor of the First Presby
terian Church, was being conducted at
Elmwood Cemetery, about eleven o’clock
this morning, a tremendous concussion
was heard within the church edifice.
Clouds of dust, dense like smoke, poured
forth from every opening, and the alarm
of fire was promptly sounded. The un
usual sound, so rare of late, soon brought
sparse crowds to the street comers to
learn the cause of alarm.
The engines turned out and repaired to
the neighborhood of the church, when it
was soon ascertained that a falling ceil
ing, erected some yeats ago for acoustic
effect and the benefit of Dr. Spellman,
then pastor and in feeble health, had
broke loose from its fastenings and fallen
bodily to the floor, a distance of perhaps
thirty-five feet. The effect cannot well
be imagined or indeed ascertained. The
main body of the church is covered with
the debris, the seats are crushed and
many of them ruined entirely. The
organ escaped, as the ceiling over it did

hat may be an overestimate. It is for
mate tout no one was in the church, as
-oath would have been inevitable. What
connection the superstitious will draw
between the falling sods in Dr. Bow
man's grave and the falling in of his
church at the same moment we knownot,
as we are not of that class ; but it is a
singular coincidence, nevertheless.
Gin-Houses Burned.
We learn that the gin-house on the
Chehaw” place in Lee county, six or
eight miles east of Leesburg, and belong
ing to the estate of the late John Bailey,
was burned last Saturday night. What
cotton, if any, was burned with it we did
not learn, nor have we any information
as to the loss sustained.
We ajlso learn that on Sunday night

Chambord is said to have made in regard
to the flag and policy of the future gov

intention of introducing extreme reactive

The Civilta Cattolica, the official -rgan

future Government for the salvation of
France. “In regard to her internal pol

our State.
I .find farmers in all sections I have

hurried to the front to sound the trumpet
of distress of bankruptcy of one Jay
Cook & Co., at which all this country
stood aghast, and the poor and honest
farmer whose debts are beginning to fall
due, whose honor being dearer than gold
is prompted by a high sense of obliga
tion to come to the rescue of his clever
merchant, who in time of need favored
him with such necessaries as required to
make his farm, as also for family wants,
and is compelled to be made the victim
of all this misfortune. These mishap*-^
and thousands of others resulting in the

about for a remedy. The disease - being
so desperate requires a desperate remedy,
and the farmers throughout our country

Mr. Fulton’s Paris Letter to the Baltimore
American.] „ - .. ij
Our English cousins from across the
channel who are traveling on the Conti
nent have just vented their grievance
against American tourists in a very able
article in the Saturday Review/ They
say that the Americans are demoralizing
hotel-keepers, servants and beggars, ana
the whole host of people with whom they
come in contact, to such an extent that
the plain'English traveler, with limited
mean-, is invariably snubbed and given
poor quart r and attention wherever
Americans are abundant. That Ameri
cans come to Europe to run hastily over
the Continent, limited in time, but un
limited in means, and that they demand
the best rooms, the best attendance, are
lavish in their fees to servants, and never
dispute the landlord’s bills.' This is all .
very true, but brother Bull must remem
ber tliat most Americans don’t under
stand the language, and could not dispute
the bills if they were so disposed, and it
would require something more than lin
guistic knowledge to read and understand
any part of most of the hills except the-
figures at the end of the lines,, and the
grand total. We remember having sub
mitted a bill which we paid at Dresden to a
good German scholar, and he ccfuld not
decipher one charge in a dozen- on the
long bill covering two foolscap. pages.
How was it possible for an American to
dispute such a bill, especially if he had
no words at hand to vent his indignation,
and only ten minutes left to catch the
departing train when he received his
bill. Then again, to the American tour
ist “ time is money,” and he would rather
part with his money than waste time is
quarreling over a few florins, or; lose hi*
temper when he is on a pleasure trip.
Then, as to the sirvants, the American
feels a commiseration for the poof devils,
who receive no wag63 from the landlords.
He charges heavily in the bills for “ ser
vice,’ but puts it all . in his own pocket.
The American feels, with respect to these
servants, that he is doing a charitable
act when he makes them happy with *
few florins, and pays them for service to
himself and family for which they would
otherwise go unpaid. It is a part of hi*
enjoyment of travel to do a little good as
he goes along through the Old World. But
there is no place in F-urope where the
American is so systematically fleeced as
in London. This .is the experience of

The London Times, while denouncing the
extortions of Vienna, ought to look to the
condition of affairs at its own doors, which,
are equally as bad. Good beds, without
bugs, can be had in Paris and Vienna,
but we have never been able to find them
in London. And as to the begging of
servants, London is ahead of the conti
nent. If a servant in a London hotel is
asked the simplest question, he expects
to be paid ter ms answer, and everybody
about the building is watching anjl wait
ing for an opportunity to put in his claim.
Americans who travel in Europe, are used
to good living and good attendance when
they travel at home, and they are .willing .
to pay something extra for the b63t they
can get when away from home.
The London Review is correct when it
says that the American and Englishman
do not assimulate when traveling/ Al
though in the same section of a oar or on
the same boat on one of the lakes, they
seldom exchange a word, and never un
less the American breaks ice. Their an
swers to questions are in monosyllables,
and the questioner feek as if he were be
ing snubbed for having asked them. Af
ter one or two attempts of this kind, the
American feels more disposed to attempt
to commence by signs and motions with
a Turk than to make an effort to open any
social conversation with the Englishman
who may be sitting On the other side of
him.- The fact is' that John Bull is a
surly and suspicious character. He
thinks that every man who approaches
him without an introduction has Borne
evil intentions, and. at once bec6mea so
watchful that he is as dumb as an oyster.
In a good deal of experience in Conti-
nentel traveling we have never known an
Englishman to commence or irivite a con- •
versation, although we have met with
some who have ultimately proved Very
pleasant and agreeable traveling com
panions! But this money question is one
that ig invariably, predominant in their
minds. They always pant.to kppw hpw^

Wages jn; Europe.—We see the follow

wage i" axe better since the plunder of
France//// na*
Sixty cents a day is considered good
wages for a Working man m anyjof tho
European countries, ercepfcGceat Britain,
where the wages are somewhat higher. In.
the Tyrol silk region and in Italy, they
often do not get more than ten cents. In
the country in Germany ten cent* is the
common pay. Women there often get but
five cents. In Sweden, men often work
from fourVClock in the morning till nine
in the evening, and do. not get any more.
Diming the late war many poor women in
Berlin were hired to knit stockings for tho
soldiei-s for five cents. The profits of the
poor who keep petty shops, sell trinkets
in: the streets, or act as sutlers, do not
average more than three or four per cent-
Barbers in Berlin, since the raising of
their prices, get five cents for hair cut
ting and two and a half cents for shaving.
Servants at hotels get from three to eight
dollars a mouth. Servant girls to pri
vate families often get but ten dollars a
year. Sometimes.these classes cannot get
work; afc any price.” ti.vwr. ; dr-if
