Fauntleroy, the English Banker
and Forger.
BY CU.4RJ.EJ DICKENS.
The bottles wont round—claret for the de
generate youngsters; port for the sterling, steady
le aded. middle-aged gentlemen. Mr. Trow
bridge sipped his wine—meditated i» little—
sipp. 1 again—and started with the promised
anecdote in these terms:
What I am going to tell yon. gentlemen, hap
pen'd when I was h very young num. and wlc-n
I was just setting up in bitsineiwon my own uc
<■ lint. My father had been well acquainted
for many years with Mr. Fauntleroy, of the fa
mous London banking-firm of March, Straeev,
Fauntleroy, and Graham. Thinking it might
be of some future service to me to make my po
sition known to a great man in the commercial
world, iny father mentioned to his highly-res
pected friend that 1 was alx’iit to start in busi
ness for myself, in a very small way. aud with
very little money. Mr. Fauntleroy received
the intimation with a kind appearance of inter
est: and said that he would have his eve on
me. I expected from this that he would wait
to see if I could keep on iny legs at starting;
and that, if he found 1 succeeded pretty well lie
would then help me forward if it lay in his
power. As events turned out. he proved to be
a far better friend than that: and he aoonshow
ed me that I had very much underrated the
hearty and generous interest which he had felt
in my welfare from the first.
While I was still fighting from the first diffi
culties of setting up my office, and recommend
ing myself to my connection, and so forth, I got
a message from Mr. Fauntleroy, telling me to
call on him, at the banking-house, the first time
I was passing that way. As you may easily
imagine. I contrived to bo passing that way on
a particular early occasion ; and, on presenting
myself at the bank, I was shown at once into
Mr. Fauntleroy’s private room.
He was as pleasant.a man to speak to as ever
1 met with—bright and gr.y and companiona
ble in his manner—with a sort of easy, hearty,
jovial bluntness about him that attracted eve
rybody. The clerks all liked him—and that is
s 'motning to say of a partner in a banking
htnse, I can tell you!
‘Well, young Trowbridge,”says he. giving
hi papers on the table a brisk push aw ay from
him, “ so you are going to set up in business for
yourself, are you? I have a great regard for
your father, and a grant wish to see you succeed.
Have von started yet?—No? Just on the point
<I be tinning—eh? Very good. You will nave
ymr difficulties, my friend—and 1 mean to
smooth one of them away for you on the onset
A word of advice for your private ear—Bank
with us.”
•' You are very kind, sir,” I answered, “and |
I should, ask nothing better than to profit by I
your suggestion—if I could. But my expenses .
are heavy at starting, and when they are all |
paid. 1 am afraid 1 shall have, very little left to
pm by for the first your. 1 doubt if I shall be
able to muster much more than three hundred
pounds of surplus cash in the world, after pay
ing what 1 must pay, before setting up my of
fice. And 1 should be ashmed to trouble your
h use, sir, to open an account for such a trifle
as that.”
“.Stuff and nonsense!” say Mr. Fauntleroy.
“Are you a banker? What business have you
to offer in opinion on that matter? l>o as I
tell you—leave it to me—bank with us—and
draw for what you like. Stop! I hav’nt done
vet. When you open the account, speak to the
head cashier. Perhaps you mav find that he
has got something to tell yon. There! there!
g ■ aw tiv—don’t interrupt me—good-bye—God
bless y’u!”
That was his way—Ah, poor fellow! that
was his way!
1 wont to the head cashier the next morning,
when 1 opened my little modicum of an account.
11c had received orders to pay my drafts with
out reference to my balance. My cheques,
when I had overdrawn, wore tn be privately
shown to Mr. Fauutluroy. Do many young men
who start in busiuc-s find their prosperous su
periors reaily to help them in that way?
Well, I got on—got on very fairly and steadi
ly; being careful not to venture out of my
depth, and not to forget that small beginnings
may lead in time to greqt pnijs. A prospect of
unc of those great ends—great I mean, to such
R mall trader ns I was at that period—showed
it df to me, when I had been sonic little time
in business. In plain terms, 1 had a chance of
joining in a first-rate transaction, which would
give me profit aud position and everything 1
wanted, provided I could quality myself for en
gaging in it by getting gissl security before
hand tor a very large amount.
In this emergency, 1 thought of my kind
friend, Mr. Fauntleroy, and went to the bank,
and saw him once more in his private room.
There he was nt the same table, with the
same heaps of pajs'rs about him, and the same
hearty, easy way of speaking his mind to you
nt once, in the fewest possible words. 1 c,v
--j l:;ined the business I came upon, with some lit
tle hesitation and nervousness: fori was afraid
he might think that I was taking an unfair ad
' autage of his former kindness tome. When
1 had done he just nodded his head, snatched
up a blank sheet of paper, scribbled a lew lines
on it. in his rapid way. handed the wriiting to
me, and pushed me out of the room by the two
s!i.adders before I could say a single word. 1
looked at the paper in the outer office. It was
my security from that great banking-house for
the whole amount, and for more, if more was
wanted.
I <xmid not axprcss my gratitude then; and
1 don’t know that 1 can ,!•..-■• rilw it now, 1 can
■ ;ily say that it has outlived the crime, the dis
grace, and tlie awful death on the scaffold. I
mi grieved to H|Hsik of timt death nt all. Hut
1 have no other alternative. The course of my
story must now lead mo straight on to the later
time, and to the terrible discovery which expos
ed my Ix'ucfm t' r and my friend to all England
as the forger Fauntleroy.
1 must ask you to suppose a lapse of some
time after the occurrence of the events that I
. just bc. ; n relating. During this interval,
inanks to the kind assistance I had received at
the outset, mv position as a man of business
had greatly unproved. Imagine me now, if
a please, on the high road to prosperity, with
"'d large offices and a respectable staff of
clerks; and picture me to yourselves sitting
alone in my private room. betv. eitn four and five
I -'k, on a certain Saturday afternoon.

seen him before in my life; and I could not
f form the slightest conjecture from his appear
ance to guide me towards guessing his position
in the world. He was not a gentleman, evi
dently: but a» to fixing liis whereabouts in the
p infinite downward gradations of a vagalsmd ex
istence in London, that was a mystery which I
w as totally incompetent to jm>lvc.
“ Is your name Trowbridge ?” he began.
“ Yes,” I answered drily enough.
“Doyon bank with Marsh, Stracey, Fauntle-
■ roy, and Graham ?’’
“ Why do you ask?”
“ Answer my question, and you wil know !”
I “ \ cry well. Ido bank with Marsh. Stracey,
I I Fauntleroy, and Graham—and what then?”'
“ Draw out every farthing of balance you
have got, before the hank closes at five to-dav.’’
1 1 stated at him in speechless amazement’.—
The words for the instant, absolutely petrified
1 me.
“ Stare as much as you lilre,” he proceeded
• coolly, “ 1 mean what 1 say. Look at your
t clock there. In twenty minutes it will strike
■ five, and the bank will shut. Draw out every
I farthing, I tell you again; and look sharp
alumt it.”
“Draw out my money!’’ I exclaimed, pur
-1 tially recovering myself. “ Are you in your
I right senses? Do you know that the firm I
bank with represents one of the first houses in
the worlil? What do you moan—you. who are
a total stranger to me—by taking this extraor
dinary interest in my affairs? If you want me
to act on your advice, why don’t you explain
yourself?”
“ I have explained myself. Act on mv ad
vice, or not, just you like. It don’t matter to
me. 1 have done what 1 promised ; and there’s
an end of it.”
lie turned to the door. The minute hand of
the clock was getting on from the twenty min
utes to the quarter.
“ Done what you promised ?” I repeated
getting up to stop him.
“ Yes,” he said, with his on the lock. “ I
have given my message. Whatever happens,
remember that. Good afternoon.”
lie was gone before I could speak again. I
tried to call after him, but my lips had sudden
ly got dry, and the words seemed to stick on
them. I could not imagine why, but there was
somethink in the man’s last word’s which had
more than half frightened me.
1 looked at the clock. The minute hand was
on the quarter. My office was just for enough
from the bank to make it necessary for me to
decide on the instant. If I had had time to
think, I am perfectly certain that I should not
have profited by the extraordinary warning
that had just been addressed to me. The sus
picious appearance and manners es the stran
ger; the outrageous improbability of the infer
ence against the credit of the bank towards
which his words pointed ; the chance that some
underhand attempt was being made, by some
enemy of mine, to frighten me into embroiling
. myself with one of my friends, through show
' ingun ignorant distrust of the firm with which
■he was associated as partner,—all these consid
erations would unquestionably have occurred
to me if I could have found time for reflection ;
I and, as a necessary consequence, not one far
thing of my balance would have been taken
from the keeping of the bunk on that memora
ble day.
Asit was, I hud just time enough to net, and
not a spare moment forthinking. Some heavy
payments made at the beginning of the week
had so far decreased mv balance, that the stun
to my credit in the banking book barely reach
ed fifteen hundred pounds. I snatched up my
checque-book, wrote a draft for tho whole
amount and ordered one of my clerks to run to
the bank and get it cashed before the doors
closed. What imqulse urged mo on, except !
tho blind impulse of hurry and bewilderment, I |
van’t say. t acted mechanically, under the in
fluence of the vague, inexplicable fear which
the man's extraordinary parting ■words had a
roused in me. without sDqiping to analyse my
own sensations, —almost without knowingwhat
I was about. In three minute from the time
when the stranger had closed my door, the clerk
had started for the bank ; and 1 was alone again
in my room, with my hands as cold as ice and
my head all in a whirl.
T did not recover my control over myself, un
til the clerk came back with the notes in his
hand. He had just got to the. bank in the nick
of time. As the cash for my draft was handed
to him over the counter, tho clock struck five
and he hoard the order given to close the
doors.
When I had counted the bank notes and had
locked them up in the safe, my hotter sense
seemed to come back to me on a sudden. Nev
er have 1 reproached my self before or since, as
I reproached myself that moment. What sort
of return had I made for Mr. Fauntleroy’s fath
erly kindness tome? I had insulted him by
the meanest, the grossest distrust in the honor
and the credit of his house —and that on the
word of an absolute stranger, of a vagabond, if
ever there was one yet! It was madness, down
right madness in any man, to have acted as I
had done. I could not account for my own in
conceivably thoughtless proceeding; 1 could
hardly believe in it inysvlt, 1 opvupd tho safe,
and looked at the bank-notes again, 1 locked
it once more, aud flung tho key down on the
table in a fury of vexation against myself.—
There tho money was, upbraiding me with my
own iuevineeivable folly ; tolling me in the plain
est terms that 1 had risked depriving myself us
my best and kindest friends henceforth and for-
i ever.
i It was necessary to do somethink nt once to
i wards making all the atonement that lay in my
power. 1 set that, as soon as 1 began to cool
> down alittle. Therewns Imtonc plain, straight-
• forward way loft now out of the scrape, in which
( I had been mad enough to involve myself. 1
U«>k my hat. and, without stopping an instant
1 to hesitate, hurried off to the hank to make it
1 clean breast of it to Mr. Fauntleroy.
When I knocked at the private door, and
I asked for him. 1 wa« told that he had not boon
t' at the bank for the last two days. One of the
r other qartners was there, however, aud was
r working at that moment in his own room. 1

f mv own follv had led me. I ncomfortuble as I
li felt at the puospiwt <u the approaching inter
f I lew, I should have been far more uneasy in my
2 mind if the partner had refused to see me.

i He looked down at his papers, as if he was
- anxious to be alone again ; and I had noalter
a native, of course, but to take my leave imine-
- diatoly. I went homo, feeling a little easier in
I my mind, now that 1 bnd paved the way for
making the best practical atonement in my
]siwer, by bringing my balance back the first
thing on Monday morning. Still, I passed a
- weary day <>n Sunday, reflecting, sadly enough
that 1 had not yet made my pence with Mr.
Fauntleroy. My anxiety to set myself right
with my generous friend was so intense, that I
. risked intruding myself on his privacy by call
ing nt hi« (own residence on Sunday, lie was
i not there: and his servant could tell me noth
ing ot bis w hereabouts. Therewns no help for
it now but to wait till his week-day duties
brought him back to the bank.
I went to business on Monday morning, half
an-hour earlier than usual, dogreat’was my im
patience to restore the amount of that unlucky
draft to my’aceount, as soon as possible after
the bank opened. On entering my office, I stop
ped with a startled feeling, just inside the door.
Something serious had happened. The clerks,
instead of being at their desks as usual, wtjre
all huddled together in a group, talking to each
other with blank faces. When they saw me,
they fell back behind my managing man, who
stepped forward with a circular in his hand.
“Have you heard the news, sir?”he said.
“ No. What is it?”
He handed me the circular. My heart gave
one violent throb the instant I looked at it. 1
felt myself turn pale ; I felt my knees trembling
under me. ' )
Marsh, Straocy, Fauntleroy and Graham had (
stopped payment. (
•' The circular has not been issued more than ,
half nn hour,” continued my managing clerk, j
“I have just come from the bank, sir. The (
doors are shut—there is no doubt about it.— j
Marsh and Company have stopped this morn- |
ing.”
1 hardly heard him ; I hardly know who was
talking to me. My .strange visitor of the Sat- (
urday had taken instant possession of all my f
thoughts; and the words of warning seemed to j
be sounding once more in my ears. This man
had known the true condition of the bank, when f
not another soul outside the doors was aware
of it! The last draft paid across the counter of (
that ruined house when tho doors closed on Sat- (
urday, was the draft that I had so bitterly re
proached myself for drawing ; the one balance |
saved from the wreck was my balance. Where
had the stranger got the information that had ,
saved me; and why had he brought it to my
ears ?
1 was still groping, like a man in the dark,
for an answer to those two questions—l was
still bewildered by the unfathomable mystery
of doubt into which they had plunged me. when
the discovery of tho stopping of the bank was .
followed almost immediately by a second shock,
far more dreadful, far heavier to bear, so far as ,
I was concerned than the first. While I and .
my clerks were still discussing the failure of
the firm, two mercantile men, who were friends s
of mine, ran into the office, and overwhelmed us "
with the nows that one of the partners had
been arrested for forgery. Nover shall I for- 1
get the terrible Monday morning when the tid- !*
ings reached me, and when 1 knew that the ,
partner was Mr. Fauntleroy.
I was true to him—l can honestly say I was c
true to my belief in my generous friend—when
that fearful news reached me. My fellow-mer
chants had got all the particulars of the arrest.
They told me that two of Mr. Fauntleroy’s fel
low trustees had come up to London to make ar
rangements about selling out some stock. On
inquiring for Mr. Fauntleroy at the banking
i house they had been informed that ho was not
| there ; and, after leaving a message for him, <
they had gone into tho city to make an appoint
ment with their stock broker for a future day,
when their fellow trustee might bo able to at- f
tend; The stockbroker volunteered to make t
certain business inquiries on the spot, with a f
view to saving as much time as possible; and ( i
left them at his office to await his return. He c
came foick, looking very much amazed, with the
information that the stock had been sold out, s
down to the last five hundred pounds. The ftf. h
fair was instantly investigated; th» document
authorizing thp soiling was produced ; and the s
two trustees saw on it, side by side with Mr.
Fauntleroy’s sinature, tlie forged signature of ]
their own names. This happened on the Fri
day ; and the trustees, without losing a moment r
sent the officers ofjustice in pursuit of Mr. Faun
tleroy. He wus arrested, brought up before c
the magistrate, and remanded, on the Satur
day. On Monday I heard from my friends the t
particulars which 1 have just narrated.
But tho event of that one morning were not
destiued, to end, even yet. I had discovered g
the failure of the bank, and the arrest of Mr. ,
Fauntleroy. 1 was next to be enlightened, in
the strangest and saddest manner, on the diffi- ,
cult question of his innocence or hfo guilt. He- t
fore my friends hud left my office: before I had k
exhausted the arguments which my gratitude
rather than reason suggested to me, in favor of t
tho unhappy prisoner, u note, marked immedi
ate, wus placed in my liund, which silenced me (
the instant I looked ut it. It was written from „
the prison bv Mr. Fauntleroy, and it contained
two lines only, entreating me to apply for the f
necessary order, and to go and see him imme
diately.
I shall not attempt to describe the flutter A
expectation, the strange misture of dread and n
hope that agitated me, when I recognized his ;
handwriting, ;\r,d discovered what it was that
he desired me to do. I obtained the order, and ’
went to the prison. The authorities, knowing
the dreadful situation in which ho atraxl, wore i
afraid of his uttemptiiig to destroy himself, and j
had set two men to wath him. One came out
as they opened the cell door. The other, who 1
was bound not to leave him, very delicately and I
considerately affected to be looking out of the i
window the moment 1 was shown in. : ,
He was sitting on the side of his lied, with i
his head dropping and his hands hanging list- '
lessly over his knees when I first ctlllglit sight j
of him. At the sound of my ap.proreh, tie start- '
ed to his feet, gnd, without speaking a word, |
isith liis anus round mv neck.
My heart swelled up. “Tell me it’s not true ,
sir ! For God’s sake, tell me it’s not true !” was
all I eould say to him.
He never answered—-Oh, mo! he never an-
I swered, und hjs turned away bis face.
■ Timre ",;s uno drctidful mmueut of silence,
lie still held his arms around my neck: andon
' a sudden he put his lips el .so to my ear. “ Did
j you got your money out!" He whisjiered.— I
I “ M ere you in time , n Saturday afternoon?”
i i I broke free from him, in the astonishment of )
l | hearing those words.
•! “What!” 1 cried out loud, forgetting the I
I : third person at the window. “That man who i
I I brought the message—?”
t | “Hush!” ho said, putting his hand on mv !
lips. “ There was no better tiwu to bt> found. I

bio fortunes he hail helped to build ; whose
heartfelt gratitude he had fairly won; whose
simple faith he was resolved never to betray.
I leave it to greater intellects than mine to re
concile the anomaly of his reckless falsehood
towards others, and his steadfast truth towards
me. It is as certain as that wo sit here, that one
of Fauntleroy’s last efforts in this world, was
the effort he made to preserve me from lining a
loser by the trust that I had placed in him.—
There is tho secret of my strange tenderness for
the memory of a felon—that is why the word
villian does somehow still grate on my heart,
when I henr it associated with the name—the
disgraced name, I grant you—of the forger
Fauntleroy. Pass the Isittles, young gentle
men, and pardon a man of the old sch<s>l for
having so long interrupted your conversation
with a story of the old time.
One or. the Si'krciiks.—On th® 7th inst, in
the Missouri House of Representatives, on a
motion to lay on the table a resolution offered
by Mr. Bitt that “the Speaker” be authorized
to cause to be printed and posted one hundred
bills, announcing that the Bth of January 1859,
will be celebrated by tho Legislature, Mr. Pitt
made the ollowing speech :
Mr. Speaker—This house passed resolutions
sir, the otlierjday, to celebrate in nn appropri
ate manner the Bth of Jarnnry. This is a res

the public that we will celebrate that day.—
We have declared our intention, and now,
when lie come to publish it, some gentlemen is
suddenly taken with “the retrenchment gripes,”
and squirms around like a long red fishing worm
on a pin hook. [Laughter.] Gentlemen keep
continually talking about economy. I myself
do not believe in tying the public purse with
cobweb strings, but when retrenchment comes
in contact with patriotism it assumes the form
of “smallness." Such economy is like that of
the old skinflint who had a pair of boots made
for his little boy without soles, that they might
last the longer. [Laughter.] I reverence “the
day we celebrate.” It£is .rauglit with reminis
cences the most soul-stirring; it brings to mind
one of the grandest events ever recorded, in
letters ofliving fire on the temple of fame, by
the strong right arm of the god of war! On
such occasions we should rise above party lines
and political distinctions. I never fought un
der the banner of Old Hickory, but, "by the
eternal,” I wish I had. [Laughter and ap
plause.] If the old war horse was here now,

have no more patriotism than you could stuff
into the eye of a knitting-needle. Let us not
squeeze a five cent piece until the eagle on it 1
squeals like a locomotive or an old maid.—
Let us print the bills, and inform the country
that we are as full of patriotism ns an Illinois

Eye Sight.—Milton’s blindness was the re
sult of over-work and dyspepsia.
One of the most eminent American divines
having, for sore time, been compelled to fore
go the please :e of reading, has spent thousands
of dollars in vain, and lost years of time, in
consequence of getting up several hours before
day, mid studying by artificial light. His
eyes never got well.
Never begin to read, or writs, or sew, for
several minutes after coming from darkness to
a fright light.
Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or of
a very cloudy day.
Never read or sew directly in front of the
light, or window, or door.
It Is best to have the light foil from above
obliquely over the left shoulder.
Never sleep so that, on first waking, tho
eyes shall open on the light of a window.
Do not use the eye-sight by light so scant
that it requires an effort to discriminate.
Too much light creates a glare, and paina
and confuses the sight. The moment you are
sensible ot an effort to disliuguish, that mo
ment cease, a«d take a walk or ride.
A" the sky is blue and the earth green, it
would seem that the ceiling should be u bluish
tinge, and the carpet green, and the walls of
some mellow tint.
The moment you are instinctively prompted
to rub the eyes, that moment ceaac using them.
If tho eyelids are glued together on waking
up, do not forcibly open them ; but apply the
saliva with the finger—it is the speediest dilu
ent in tho world —then wash your eyes and
face i i warm water. — J loll'd Journal of Health.
A Hunt ik the Dark.—“Le Sport” is re
sponsible for the following account of a hunt
in the dark in a Commune of tho department
of the Seine Infericnre:—
Towards the end of a dinner nt the Chateau
de G , the hospitable owner of which
had assembled a party of ‘[Jolly good fellows,”
an enormous pie was put on the table with
great pontp and ceremony. “Gentlemen,” ex
claimed the Atnphy trion, addressing his guests,
“we will, if you please, drink a stirrnp enp,
and then to the horse !;” saying which he flour
ishod his glass full to the brim with cham
pagne. “Mount nt this time of night ?” ex
claimed ninny of the gnests in surprise. “Yes,”
continued the host, “we will have a fox hunt;
everything is ready, the horses are saddled,
and the hounds are becoming impatient.”
These words increased the astonishment of
the company. At the same moment the liniits
men blew their horns, and the doors of the
dining hails were thrown open. The crust of
! the pie was raised with the point of a knife,
. and outjmnped a fox. Reynard paused for a
) moment, then dashed through a window, croes
’ed the park, aud gained the open fields. Be
hind him trailed a line of light, drawn by a
piece of phosphorus artfully attached to the
I animal's tail. The guests, excited by the sud
; den and strange appearance of the fox, moun
ted their horses and galloped in pursuit. Key
nurd gave them a smart chase for alsmt twen
ty -minutes, when ho was run into near the
. village of Stc. Marguerite-cur Mer, c< nqielled

Mr. and Mrs. Florence.
These distinguished artistes are at present
■ stopping at the Lanier House. They were en
gaged by Mr. Fleming to appear on Monday,
evening; an Orchestra was also engaged at
. Charleston in order to give the proper effect to
Mrs. Florence’s beautiful songs and dances, but
failed to keep their engagement, in consequence
of which our citizens have thus far been de
prived of the pleasure of seeing for the first time
in Macon, Florence the “Broth, of a Boy,’
and the charming Mrs. Florence in her bril
liant and versatile characters.
Wo clip the following from the Savannah
Republican of the sth, to show the high esti
mation in which these artistes were hold by our
sister city.
“ Anthen.eum.—The benefit of Mrs. Flo
rence, last night, came fully up to the import
of the term. Every seat was filled, and the
passage ways crowded by those were unable to
obtain them. The pieces went off in fine spir
it, and the audience were kept in the liest hu
mor imaginable from thebeginning of the per
formance to the close.
At the close of the second piece an interest
ing little episode occurred before the curtain
that is worthy ot note. Mr. Fleming, as an ad
ditional testimony of the partiality of the
friends of Mrs. Florence, presented her with a
beautiful gold watch, chain and brooch, ac
companied with an appropriate address. It
was handsomely received by the fair beneficia
ry, and Mr. Florence added his word of thanks.”
Since writtingthe above we understand that
at the solicitation of a number of our citizens,
Mr. Florence has himself gone to Savannah to
engage an Orchestra in order not to deprive us
of the rich treat we have in store. How is it
that every city and town in the United States
have a Band of Musicians except Macon ?
We are sure it is not a lack of mnsical taste.
Anti-Slavery.
The State Anti-Slavery Convention assem
bled in Albany, N. Y., on the Ist inst., and
adopted the following resolutions:
lUsvlred, That in advocating a dissolution of the
Union, the abolitionists arc justified by every pre
cept of the gospel, every principle of morality and
every claim of humanity.
Htndeed, That the Union is a covenant with death,
and ought to bo annulled—an agroemotit with hell
which ajust God cannot jwrmit to stand—and that
t is the paramount duty of all io buck, its imme
diate overthrow.
The resolutions go still further, and quote
the language of Senator Win. 11. Seward, pre
dicting an irrepressible conflict between the
Free and Slave States, declaring also, that no
party is worthy of confidence whatever its pro
fessions may be, if it refuses to attack the insti
tution of slavery itself.
This is a specimen of Northern sentiment,
and yet the “Fire Eaters” are denounced for
resenting these insulting attacks of the Aboli
tionists.

Increase in the Receiits from Customs.
—We took occasion to mention, a few days
since, that the revenues from the customs were
rapidly augmenting, and that ere long they
would be a sufficient for all proper objects of
governmental expense. The increase, we are
pleased to see still goes on. We have already
remarked that the four days ending the 29th
January, the receipts were over $400,000 at
New York alone. Wo observe that on the two
days of 31st January and Ist Febuary, they
were $485,000, the latter day $265,095.
For the last four weeks the receipts have av
eraged about $1,000,000 per week. The sur
plus in the Treasury at New York on the Ist
instant was $7,587,998.
The advocates for a high and a protective
tariff had better “hurry up the cakes,” other
wise the present tariff may have to be reduced
to prevent plethory in the Treasury.

From Africa.
A writer on board the U. S. flag ship Cum
berland, in a letter from Porto Pray a to the
Boston Courier, gives an interesting descrip
tion of Benguela and the country adjacent.—
Benguela is the capital of the Portuguese pro
vince of the same name, and contains about 2,-
00 inhabitant, of whom about 100 are whites,
or mixed blood, and the rest pure blacks.
The country abounds in game, and the river
swarms with crocodiles and hippopotomi, while
twenty miles in the interior, lions, tigers ami
elephants are to be found. During the stay of
the Cumberland at Benguela, a party of natives
from the interior at rived, laden with elephants’
tusks and gum copal. They are described as
being tall and erect, and some of them good
looking of graceful carriage; but they were
all miserably dirty and emaciated, and nearly
—some of them quite —without clothing.—
They exchange their* ivory and gum with the
Portuguese lor coarse cutton cloth, some old
condemned government muskets, powder, and
a few bottles of rum—the Portuguese getting
the best of the bargain; and they were again
fleeced by the women of nearly all they ob
tained, save the .rum, which they took good
care to drink at once. The writer describes a
native village wliielibe tiuited wheretliwre was
, such dancing, jumping and shontingaiaaajthe
i natives, in honor of the America B«, that they
seemed to be so many happy mat. iocs.
The Cumberland remained two days at the
1 mouth of the Congo river, sending a boat up
‘ ths ri«BB to look for slarers. ioH finding none.

Gen. 'Walker Received into the Catholic
Church. —On the Ist instant, says the Mobile
.Mercury, a large concourse of citizens, and
many strangers visiting our city, were attract
ed to the Catholic Cathedral by a rumor that
General William Walker would at that time
be initiated into the bosom of the Catholic
Church. All the surroundingsrendered the oc
casion one of solemn interest. The season of
the year mid the hour gave to the Cathedral
that “dim, religious light” so favorable to se
rious impressions. The venerable Vicar-Gen
eral, in his gorgeous robes, and attendent
priests, in their sacred vestments, the deep re
sponse, the solemn chant, the burning tapers,
and vessels of the sanctuary, inspired in the
beholders wonder mid reverence. But the
most striking feature of the scene was General
Walker himself—the hero of many fields, the
statesman and lawgiver—kneeling there, with
the humility ofa child, and listening to the in
structions of those to whom, it is claimed, God
has committed the authority of his Cliuroli mid
the dispensation oi his Gospel.
We cannot give the'details of what oecured,
but suffice it to say that General W alker is now
a member of the Catholic Church, to whose
fold he has been led, wo have no doubt, by
over-whelming conviction, as be was reared
after the straightest sect a Presbyterian, and,
we have heard, prepared himself for the ser
vices of the pulpit in that denomination.

pended operation or is doing comparatively
nothing ; and also that another celebrated
establishment at Oswego, which has hereto
fore paid its ten per cent dividends, is also
running at only a very small rate, and such is
said to be the case with these establishments
throughout the country. Ski'ts having given
place to wood mid steel' stiffeners, the demand

1 and J.—There arc no two letters in the
manuscript alphabet of the English language
which occasions so much trouble, or cause so
much misconstruction as the two letters I and
J, as many persons, either ignorantly or inad
vertently write them.
u The rule for writting them properly, and
which should be universally understood and
adopted, is to extend the J below the line, while
the I should bo written even with the line and
n not varied below it. This is not so trivial a
matter in it might secin nt a first glance, for
many persons arc very sensitive alsmt the prop
■ or rendering of their names—getting into a rage
with the printer or proof-reader, if a mistake
is made, when the fact is the blame should at
tach to their own carelessness aud improper
eliirography. It is, however, very natural for
the best tempered men he feel annoyed when
he reads his name in connection with some dis
r reputable affair with which he had nothing to
do; or sees ifec glorious commendations of some
highly meritorious action, or a complimentary
notice intended for him, entirely spoiled anil
. subverted by the unfortunate insertion of some
other individual’s name, which appens to be
. very like his own, Mr. AV in. I. Smith may be
the shepherd of a flis-k which look up to him
1 with reverence and affection, while Air. AV. J.
Smith may be a sheep stealer. Imagine, then
the feeling of the reverend gentleman whet£on
perusing the dolumns of some newspaper, he
finds himself sentenced to imprisonment in jail,
when he had never entered the precincts of a
court-house in his life.— LmunciUe Journal.
Prepare for 1886.—AVe would not be alarm
ists under any circumstances, hut would merely
recommend all to prepare for the great hereaf
ter. if there be any truth in the following old
French prophecy, which wc find in a rare old
French work. The prophecy started in the
mountains of Cevennes. in France, and is receiv
ed with much credit. It is to the effect that
when Easter Sunday fulls on St. Mark's day,
which necessarily causes Good Friday 11 fall on
St. George’s day, and Corpus Christi on St.
John’s day. the end of the world is at hand.—
The following is the old proverb in quaint
French:—
Quand Georges Dieu crueifiera,
Que Marc le resuseitera,
Et quo Saint Jean le Portera,
La tin du monde arrivcni.
As these rather remarkable coincidences take
place in A. D. 1886, seme of growing up gene
ration of young men will have a means of seeing
whether the prophet of Cevennes spoke truth
fully or not.
llow to go to Bed.—Half » Journal of Health,
in speaking of this subject, says: “In freezing
winter time do it in a hurry, if there is no fire
in the room, and there ought not to be unless
you arc quite an invalid. But if a person is
not in good health, it is best to undress by a
good fire, warm and dry the feet well, draw
on the stockings again, run into a room u ith
out a fire, jump into bed, bundle up. with
head and ears under cover for a minute or
more, until you feel a little warmth; then un
cover your head, next draw oil' j our stockings,
straighten out. turn over on your right side, j
and go to sleep. If a sense of chillncss conics )
over you on getting into bed, it will always do '
you an injury; and its repetition increases the j
ill-effects without haviugany tend jucy to‘liar- '

weak. 1 want one of your young men to get
up behind me on my horse. A young man
threw down his musket, and at one spring leap
ed upon the horse, and they slowly galloped
away to the main body of the army.” The ex
citement produced by reading this document
was thrilling in the extreme. The hundreds

iu this city, held an execution against another,
which was placed in the hands of the slieritf

officer finding no property, it was returned
unsatisfied. A short time since, the creditor
discovered a small monument nt one of the
marble yards in the eity, which had been or
dered by the debtor to’be placed over the grave
of a little child he had recently buried. Forth
with this worthy exemplar of Bhylock waited
iqion the Sheriff and instructed him to levy
upon the stone. The officer very properly

unchristian, but without avail.—He wasthtcat

unpleasant dnty, and the stone was according
ly seized and in due time sold. There was p<*
