But it is true, nevertheless, that the Treasurer's position is undesirable In many respects,- and that few men who have held the place wish to return to it. When he takes possession of. the Treas ury vaults he becomes responsible for dred milhonof doUarsincoin and pa , t - - . . . ., . . per currency. ;- au of tne money is counted at the beginning of his term of Office, and he gives a clean receipt for it to his predecessor. That receipt is not an absolute release from I responsi bility . If a defalcation discovered to day could be traced back ten years the man - who was treasurer then would " be held responsible, and he and his bonds men would be sued: for the amount."rThe bond given by the - Treasurer of the Uaited States is perpetual. In the vault attached to the cash- room of the Treasurv Department hangs a small frame in which is is a eold note of the denomination of $10,000. These notes are no longer issued. rThe one hanging in the vault, however, is worth $10,000. and the custodian of the vault would be held responsible in : that sum if it ; disappeared. When these- notes were being issued by the Treasury De partment they were put up in packages or, 4,uuu notes,, .each package "beme about one cubic foot in size and weighing-eleven pounds. It would not have been impossible for one of the. trusted employes of the Treasury to have taken one of these $40,000,000 packages with him, though it would have been ex tremely difficult. '.: There ia no obstacle except the I'hohesty 6f : the 'employe how to prevent any one of two - or three clerks in the Treasurer's office taking a bunele-of .4.00 notes of the denomma tion of tl.bQQ frpn pne pi the yault packages'and slipping it into his popScet. The Assistant Treasurer of the Vnited States' stated a few days ago that eqcb a then was possinie, anq vnai u woma not be discovered, perhaps, for six months or more. Human ingenuity is exhausted after a time in its attempt to surround the treasure of the govern ment with automatic protection. It must trust finally to the honesty of some one. One of the public servants trusted almo8tf imDliciilV Is the $l40Q clerk who makes up the'packages Q? new notes for the reserve vaults, where freia money seasons for sometimes six or - twelve months before the packages are broken and the notes are distributed. Another is th& vault clerk who goes in and out the storage rooms where, nearly two hundred millions are kept almost free from ; surveillance. These - men - and others the Treasures of the United, gtates must trust. The law does nptu require that they shall give a bond to b.im for the honest performance of their duties. No bond which they'oould give would Wade-mate, in new of the vast sums which tbey handle constantly. Yet for their honesty the Treasurer him sell and the Treasurer's bondsmen are neio liable, and if One of them should vrk off to-morrqw r wit a httie ptfeage worth 1 1.000.000 the Treasurer - would have to return that amount to the vaults out of his own fortune. ; For this re eDonsibility, involving seven hundred million dollars and ior tne saie percorni n ncp. of the duties of his office, the Treasurer receives a salary of $6,000 a vear. it is not surpnaiug - ujui. wuiudi, 1 . . .iiMiHnBhAiiki naH a : ftv. rnat Kill finin every, incumbent of the office has given it up to bis successor gladly, ana .w"tt no ambition to return," - - .

A - strance- feature of the . criminal record of the past week or two is the vouth of many of . those accused of atrocious and revolving deeds. ; Young hnv have ficured as murderers, bur glars, forgers, and thieves. In New York a fourteen-year;old boy named Bere8heim is under arrest on the charge of havine murdered ' a man named TTr.ner. and the Gerry Society is said to be convinced of bis guilt.; Two stu dents of Union College," charged ; with burglary, have confessed that they had beun as" amateur : vandals and grad ually developed into professional thieves an! robbers. . ..But the case which has oTftpA the greatest sensation is that of , -- - winMv wrw,ked n. hilts 1UU1 UUJD i fast mail train near Rome, in this StateJ causing the death of two men and severe injuries to a number 01 otn ers. The object of the crime seem to have been plunder, and there is said to be evidence of great cafe and skill in the planning of the crime. The leader is a boy of eighteen named Hiidreth, a son of a New York lawyer, ; and his as sociates are Bristol, aged eighteen, Plate, aged seventeen, and Hibbard, aged nineteen;;? After their arrestdetectives found a number of sensational stories in their rooms, including a life of Jesse James, and the general impression .is 4hat their crime was due to the 'effects of detective novels and Vpenny cread- faja." The newspapers, , in comment ing on this . extraordinary number of iuvenile" crimes, discuss the means of preventing the circulation of such Uter- ature among the young.

The place of postal clerk is extremely hazardous. .Several of these clerks were killed in an accident ' recently on the Pennsylvania Railroad near Harris burg, and others were injured in 'a train-wrecking accident on the New York Central Railroad nearUtica shortly afterward. .Whenever an accident hap pens to a through train almost invaria bly one reads that the postal clerks are killed or injured. The reason for this is that postal cars are jcarried next to the locomotive, as a rule, to avoid switch ing as much as possible. They are usually heavily loaded, and in making over the train s at junctions ; they are placed where they will cause the least delay in getting under way again.- By strengthening them with steel . plates and Btout angle-bars the danger in acci dents will be greatly lessened:in the new cars. , - .. . - Six of these cars are now in operation between New York and Chicago on the Erie Railroad. In a few weeks fifteen of. them will be in operation, and from time, to time their numbers will be in creased. They are made from the de sign pt E: W. Grieves, superintendent of, the Cai Department of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. They are sixty-five feet long on the inside and have no platforms. The absence of platforms giye the' appearance of one long jointed car when, three" or four of them are made up together. There are no doors at the ends, and this fact, with the ab sence of platforms, gave rise to the bur glar proof idea. The platforms; were takeh off to get more room inside rather than to prevent robberies, which rarely occur on mail cars. ' The internal arrangement of the cars is -a decided improvemen pn the 'old $ty1e. '-The stove ig in the middle of the car.v; This lessens the danger from fire in time of accident, and also gives a better heat. The racks and ; storage part of the car are in one eqd Jhese ee.rye as, a buffe? in colhsiont. The cars are Ugh ted by oil and gat, and this makes careful sorUng of the packages easier. Under each end is a six-wheeled truck. The wheels are thirty-three inches in diameter, and are said to be the largest ever used on cars in this country; '.There are two doors On each side of the car, and the sides of the car seem as thick as the sides of an armor clad ship: When these cars come into general use it is i?abl6ttKaVlve''6hall hear of fewer deaths and injuries to Tramp. , - Unce a tramp, always a tramp, it is said.

Stories of haunted churches are not new, but the latest yarns about thti Emanuel Baptist Church of San Fran: cisco, the building in which were found the bodies of the two girls, one of whem young Durrant was convicted of mur dering, are rather interesting, -though uncanny. . ' Since the finding of the two mutila ted bodies policemeD have guarded the chfcrch day and night,- "and nobody other than the police is allowed to enter. At first the policemen used to sit inside the church. " Of late they prefer to do their solemn" vigil at . night "on the church steps or by patrohng the walk in front 1 a. m. to 6. a.-m,, it is said to be ghostly hours. ' . Here is a story that the San Francisco Examiner alleges was told a reporter by one of the policeman one night recently : : 'I had concluded . that ' the stories I had heard of sounds at night were all in the imagination l of the narrators,' said the policeman, "when something happened that sends "a thrill . through me every time I think Of it. I was sit ting in a chair thinking how" comforta ble it was to be in. out of the cold, when suddenly 1 felt a presence near me.1 It came out on suddenly, and in , almost an instant I was all in a tremble. , "I suppose you ' have had . one of those terrible . .nightmares that bring you upright in bed,; with starting eyes and a feeling that your peril ; must k e real it is so vivid. ? It seems as though some hideous animal was pursuing to devour you and that you were falling from a precipice : to""be dashed on the rocks below. That: is just :the way J felt. - The blood rushed from my heart I and a cold chill" went -through my limbs. . I was unable to move, and while in that - condition I heard one of the electric bells in the rear of the church . ring three tirnes--cIearly, dis tinctly, Th'en came the strangest sen sation of all. I was sittingwith one of my legs outstretched. and I felt distinct ly a sensation as of a woman's skirt be ing brushed across it. 1'For. fully nve minutes I was speech- less; "nerveless . and unable to move. Then I rubbed my eyes and tried to imagine that I had been . asleep; but without avail. I was as much awake as I am this present moment. Since that time I have somewhat dreaded the nights, when I have to take that night watctu I ron t fear it, but 1 must say that if is not pleasant." - , v The- church was dark and silent. with its ghostly spire " pointing toward the bright stars above, when a tour of inspection was made by the reporter.

TWO HOBRIBL.B PICTCRES. . - Nashvlile Christian Ad vocata. The Northwestern Christ ain Advo cate, in an editorial of the 13th inst., lenounciDg and properly deneuncing the recent burning of a negro man m the State of Texas, goes on to say : We have within our reach, and -have been asked , to Teproduce in these col umns, a photograph of the scene of one of these burnings. Immense crowds of people surround the scene - of the barbarous immolation, and some of the people, whose faces are faithfully given by truthful photography, may be recog nized by those who know them. We are assured that some of those who,', by motions and postures, sigaify their ap proval of the - barbarous immolation; of a human being, are members of some Southern -churches." . T . -1 tj VI . . ... : ve buouiu uxe 10 asic wao it was that "assured" Dr. Edwards -of. the presence and participation of the "mem bers ;of some Southern - Churches" in this barbarous transaction. Willie also give uathe names of the guilty per sons ? JL bill of particulars is in order: General ; insinuation have no weight witn tnous;htful men. If the facts are as intimated, it is quite possible to make a showing? that will , be convin cing in its character. Nobody will hurt Dr. .bdwards for: publishing in Chicago what be knows about bad men in Texas. It is time for him .to speak out. ' : If Dr. Edwards should reproduce 1 the picture of the burning and there is no impropriety ' in doing anything that may 'serve to arouse the public rnmo to the danger of mob lawleness then- we Suggest that there is another picture which ought to be placed in a parallel column. Here it is. A - reputable white woman is "met on a lonely !;road by a negro "tramp; .. after a desperate straggle, im which; her clothing is Ikorn into shreds," she.is outraged, her tHroat w cut, .her body is rent open, her un born infant is wrenched from her womb, and her mangled remains left lying- by the way It is only one .of these grue some spectacles : that seems to make much r impression upon Dr. Edwards' feelings. "For the ; murdered woqjan, her stricken husband,. ' and - her httle children, he has no word of sympathy. Not once has he spoken out strong and clear, in denunciation of such outrages. One side of his heart seems to be atro phide.
