Tb*- profits are always eaten up in big salaries to managers and aistaut managers. 1 know of some companies that pay out $7,0X1 or #B,OOO a year to a manager. hais as much again to an assistant, and thus all the way down. When you take all this out of the profits there is very little left, and in a lad year the Isa lance is apt to be on the wrong side."

Any on- who has 4f. can have a seat at the table in Monte Carlo, and the lank has no right to object to their presence or their doing*, so long as none of the players do. I had curiosity enough to a-k on*- of the managers how many suicides had taken place in Monte Carlo in a year, and I was surprise,! to bear him say that he never heard of any in the ten y-am that he had been there. A POLICE COURT INCIDENT. How a New York r May Lose His Liberty. New York, Aug. o.—The hands of the big regulator on the south wall of the York ville Police Court pointed to 10:iJ5 o'clock in the morning. The common drunks had all been disposed of and the more serious cases were now coming up for examination. Jus tice Patterson leaned back in his chair for u moment to discuss politics with a Republi can friend who had dropped in to disclose u secret of state. At this juncture a court officer and n well dressed man mounted the witness stand. Another man, so closely resembling the mail on the stand that I had to look twice to make curtain that the one was not a shadow of the other, was placed at the bar. “Your Honor,” said the first man in calm, deliberate tones, “this,” indicating the pris oner at the I sir, “is my brother. He is an habitual drunkard. He has ruined his property and will certainly drink himself to death if he is not restrained. I wish you would commit him to my care. I de sire to place him in a private asylum on Long Island, where he can be treated and taken care of. Otherwise he will die in the gutter.” “What have you to say f” asked the Jus tice of the unfortunate prisoner. A mingled look of fear and resignation came over tin.- man's countenance. He s.*>m ed to shrink t igetber and his eyes continue i that wild and hunted expression frequently Keen in insane people. “There is no u- of saying anything, I suppose,” he answered; “my brother there wants me put away so that he can get my property. There’s ‘no use in trying to pre vent him. He will do it one wav or an other. Yes, I drink, I drink. It will be my ruin, no doubt, but he’s to blame f. .r it. He led me on to it. be tempted me. He nl ways did with mo os he wantei to. He’s •tronger tlian I am. Now he wants me out of the way altogether. He had me away for a short time liefore.” It is Impossible to describe the despoil,lent totion of the man. Even in a police court, where it ix customary for depraved prison ers to make the most startling statements ooiiiwning their accusers. his manner made u profound impression. The prisoner’s brother simply smiled ami assured the Justine that the prisoner was crazed by drink, and that he had lieen ac tuated only by his love for his brother and a hope that he might be cured in asking for bis incarceration. A ward politician came to bis rescue by telling th< Justice that his statement, was undoubtedly true and tbnt the prisoner was notoriously addicted to drink. Accord ingly, the iiajiers were made out and the prisoner was placed in charge of his ac cuser. to be shut up iu a private inebriate asylum. 1 have since learned that there was grave reasons to doubt the disinterested fraternal love of flu- complainant. In the first place be had attempted to secure the control of his brother on a previous occasion liefore all ot her Jamloi. Then, however, severul {Hands of tin defendant bad given evidence so uncomplimentary to the character of the complainant that the Justice refused to take cognizance of the charge. it was shown that the complainant was a tnan of low tostsu. given to extruvogant carousing, mid indifferent to anything but his own selfish interests. Defeatist iu his ohioct then, he waited until his brother’s friends were out of reach and ha! him hr • lght int- ■ a strange court.before a strange Justice. It is no difficult task for cne relative to j '—urine another in th* citv, where? there is any reason for a charge o i inebriety. The law. I believe, states, mat no person shall he i confined in this manlier for a period exceed ing six months. But where- the |> r* -ri is e .dined in a private asvlum vi: will knew wh-n his tine is up!

They are a law unto ti-mselves, and that law is generally omstruod according to the whims of the moment.

A NEW SPECULATIVE MOLOCH. Another Chance for New York Bro kers to Make Money. New York, Aug. 6.—'Tlie Moloch of spec ulation is ever holding out redhot arms for new offerings to his fickle majesty and the late*t tiling in the way of gambling is the listing of silver certifi<-ates at the Stock Ex change. Any (s-rson mav deposit at a lank l,i*X) ounces of stiver and receive a certifi cate n-ras-enting the market value of the bullion. The Western National Bank of which the Hon. Daniel Xlarming is the Pres ident, has been conspicuous in the move ment, and there ha Vieeti a question raised as to the legality of such transactions. They are strictly legal, and may yet prove a con siderable source of revenue to the bank of the shrewd ex Secretary of the Treasury, who not so many year* ago was receiving #l2 a week as r-|.rter for the Alliany ,-trgn* ami #4 a week from a Western pa i,er for writing a weekly review of the Al bany cattle mark,it. The transaction in volves a change from bullion to a certificate representing its value. The certificate is, of course, negotiable, but it is in no sense currency. This new move in the specula tive world wa made primarily to promote speculation. The .Stock Exchange brokers, hard pushed by the Consolidated Exchange and bucket shops, is trying to increase it* Imsiness, and the silver certificates an- h<*ld out as a lait to tempt tlie speculative public to try some thing new. Any person may take IJXK) ounces of silver to'a hank and on u payment of HV. for the servic-e will re oeive a i-ertificate in exchange for it, the hank holding th- bullion in trust. Certifi cates for some TMO,(JUO omiccs of silver have I •con issues! within a w,*-k and their value, fluctuating daily, is about that is 1.000 outlet's are worth WXIO. They can he sold c>n the Stcx'k Exchange the same as stocks. The plan has been in operation only about a week, and the speculation as yet is on a small scale. In tne fall, however, if the market wakes up, it may reach a large ag gregate. Stock brokers' encourage the new scheme because it promiass to inortose tlieir com missions. But the speculative devices of hard-pushed brokers are of little conso cjuence, and the one important thing for consideration in this new departure is the possibility of New York rivaling London as a groat silver market. There is no question that this country has suffered seriously from the fact that London is the dominant silver market of the world. Bv manipu lating the price Englishmen have baen able to buy East Indian wheat almost at their own prices, the silver rupee l<eitip the standard money of India. A decline m the price of silver, the money with whicli the wheat was paid for, meant practically a fall in the quotation for Indian wheat, even though wheat might really re main stationary. England has robbed India for a long time in this fashipii liecausc the country ls not fully opened to what we term civilization, and the means of discriminating intelligence are limited. With the fall of silver American wheat must decline in order to compete in the Eurojxvin markets with the wheat of India. It would lie an advantage to this country, it is con tended, if Now York could have something to say as to what silver is worth. The matter has nothing to do with the silver question iu the ordinary sense; that is a vexed matter involving cur rency on which thero arc a thousand opin ions. It is simply a question whether New York can secure a foothold iu the dealings in silver, to the end primarily that New York brokers out at the elbows may get a living from silver commissions which they cannot get from stocks, ami secondnrilv, that London may I*' detlironod os the silver king of the world, dealing storked raids to the East Indians and then telling the farm ers of the AVest that they must also “knuckle down."

SINCERITY IN UNDERWEAR Daintiness Captures the Fancy and Commands Respect New York, Aug. 6.—To the French be long the palm of daintiness, or. in other wools, having everything as fine, orna mental and well made whicl: i not intended | to be sc-en save by the wearer a* if these same thing* were gam-nts always the iii-.es: o'-served It ts the *an.e jrawipte which in *tatuary -r painting r c-all fnie art. or sincerity in art.

Some of the pretti'-st and i daintiest i Insjwcted this w,*-k it wv a p ,r --j tion of a briilal trou***eau of an American h<-ires.*. There were undervests of jole pink blue and cream silk. Must of these that are- to be purchasfsl lose their color in the laundry. To obviate tki* the vests should ,• hand knit to order of some of tie well-known knitting silks; they will koi.l their color perfectly in this wav Most of tho*,- on sale are dyed alter the undervest is made by machine. To !• “lived in the wool" is an old saying; its ben fit* are as applicable to silk as wool. Many young laches knit tlieir own under vests; th*-> are easily done and make pretty summer fancy w -rk. With bric-a-brac and l>. titiqtl" furniture has bceu revived that almost 1 art. stocking knitting. It iL-si to lie quite a test by which to ju-lge if a young woman would make a good wife. Whether this tost is to lie revived I know not. but ,vrtonly th<- young ladies have taken a wonderful interest in knitting st-ckings of late. I'U tell you a secret, too. Most of them, 1 notic . are not knitting very long leg* to tin-in. and the feet are oertamly larger than thev themselves could wear t>u you can put two and two together and see if it doesn't look a* though Tom, Dick or Harrv was going to have a present next Christmas of half a dozen {airs of silk socks made by the dainty fingers of Blanche, Tray or Sweet heart. Night ilre-ww, chemises and drawers are all made of white china silk, trimmed with real lace. Valenciennes seems to be the favorite, or oldfashioned thread la'* 1 , which is durable and “does up" well. These night robes are so beautiful they may be used as robes d<- chainbre, and, indeei, in Paris the the ladies often do receive intimate female friends thus attired in their own apartments, and gossip mildly over a cup of chocolate. Sets of tnree pieces also coine in nlain colored china silk, which material is much softer and cooler than surah and washes as well as any silk pocket handkerchief Many object to colored underclothing, and it must be said piaiu whit" is preferable, but where one has plenty of money to in dulge in the fancies of the hour, thise colored, or perhaps I should say tinted, for the color njpst always bo very |Kile, under garments are very attractive. Strip*— are fashionable, even here Sets of three pieces are of white silk, with blue, pink or yellow hair lines, profusely trimmed with lace; these also come in white mull, striped the same, hut the silk fie) cooler, and there is another advantage —the silk does not require starching; in fact, its liimuitstt is part of its attractiveness, while the mull must, of course, be starched to give it the proper appearance. On® of the most useful and dainty arti cles of this trre*seau is a dress waist protec tor which is intended to keep the linings of dre*es unsoilod. They are better than cor set covers, as they do not go around the waist at all. Corset covers are warm at best. These dress protectors are made in the shape of u half handkerchief, with just a strip to go under the arms. To hold it in place tiny linen tape is attached to the point at the back, at the waist line, and is brought round in front to hold down the two front ewls. Small lnce buttons fasten these together; of course a half circle is cut out at the throat in order to make it lit the shoulders properly. They are trimmed all around with the narrowest thread lace and are made of the finest linen lawn or white china silk. Evelyn Baker Harviek. Charleston Laconics. 'The officers of the United States District Court left Saturday for Greenville, where the regular August term of tin* Court will be convened to-day. There will also be an extra term of the United States Circuit Court at Greenville, beginning to-day. While Air. Id. S. Long was walking with a friend in State street Saturday a setter dog made a dash for his leg and attempted to bite, the teeth penetrating Mr. Long's trousers but making no incision on the skin. Mr. Long immediately weut to a druggist a ml hail iiia leg examined, and no serious i.-suits are expected. The dog was shot by a jx>- licemiii), the reimrts of the pistol gathering quite a crowd to the spot. G. M. Tmiholin, one of the attorneys for tue defendants in the Calvary Baptist Church arson cases went up to Summerville Saturday, and upon petition procured an order from Judge Pressley directing tliaf tile necessary writ of habeas era-jam be issue. 1 for the defendants, J. C. Butler, M. K. Daniels and John Adams, who were com mitted to jail on Thursday, to appear tie fore him on Tuesday at 10 o’clock, tnut the cause of their detention being seen and known, such further proceedings be had as are agreeable to law and justice. The committee of gentlemen who under took to get up tho summer converts raised a sufficient amount to warrant them in inaug urating the movement. Tho attendance at the concerts ulrea.lv given was so great tliut the popularity >.f the concerts was clearly established. With a view of enabling those who enjoyed the concerts to contribute their mite toward paying for thorn, boxes were placed ut convenient point* on the Battery for the re.option of such contributions. These were ojiened recently, and wiiile there wa*a liberal contribution in the sha]>e of buttons, the hard cash was found to be scarce. The committee have barely suffi cient, money in hand to pay for two more concerts, which will 1> given later in the month. No concert was given Saturday afternoon, and niu.-li dixupjioiiitment was expressed. But the band's motto is, “No money, no music.” Salvation Soldiers Scared by Thunder. From the Xew York Evening Sun. Perhaps as wild a scene ns any portrayal last night during the i-hs-tric.il storm was presented in the Helvetian Army headquar ters in Washington street, Brooklyn.

Everything was hushed foru moment, uud the opponents of Satan look ed seared. “Don't git frightened I” shouted one of the lenders, after a doom. “Hit’s God’s work, and K’s n doin'hit fer hour good.
