Whkn tlio Nebraska Savings l"k closed Uh doom norno weeks ago there was much uneasiness. Hut whon tho bank finally resumed business ngnln, and it wtH announced thnt tho clcnrlnK houso linil como to tho rescuo nnd that tho iiiHtitutiou had boon placed on u sound llnnnelnl basis und would romain open permanently, conlldonco wiih in n jireat measure restored, Many dojxwlt ore left tholr money in tho hank, and in a number of instances thoro woro now deposit. It wub supposed that tlio clearing house, roprcnontlnft tho banks ot Lincoln, was back of tlila ono bank, and thoro wns no thought of (urthor trouble So, when a fow days ago, tho bank waa onco mora closed without warning of any kind, it wan not aurprla Ing thoro was Homooxcltomont. Hero waa bank, with, tho clearing Iioubo back of it, and with stockholders of known financial strength, doliboratoly niiBpond ing business. Is it any wonder that tho suspension waa followed by a slight flurry in local financial circles? Tito unfortunato part of tlio affair Is tho fact that tho bank over attempted to rcsumo j unless it waa absolutely certain that it would bo ablo to romain opon perman ently. It was known that tho stock holders wore able to make good tho -claims of depositors, and had tho bank -stayed closed the excitement would have died out in a day or two. Thoro seems to bo a difference of opinion as to who Is responsible (or tho second closing of the bank. It is said on the one hand ( ,that the clearing house got tired of pitting up money rand' accordingly ' aotlfled the savings bank that It would ,.'t render any further assistance. Afsin.lt is said that the. bank volun tartly oJaeWTdown without' the knowl edge of the other banks. As a matter offset, with one or two exceptions, the officers of the other banks did not know it was going to close. And tho manage ment of tho savings bank is severely eritlcisod for tho action takon. What ever may bo tho truo facts in tho case, there was bad management somowhoro. Once reopened, tho bank ought not to have been allowed to clow again. It looked a good deal llko a conttdenco game, and the public became very suspicious whon the second shut down came, And whatever of trouble tho banks may have had the past woek is very largely tho result of tho Nebraska "V .Savings Masco. Tmr public has begun to watch tho condition of President Cleveland's health in much, the samo manner that It followed tho waning strength of Presi dent Garfield and the insidious develop Meat of the cancer that afflicted Gen eral Grant, So much depends on this one man that his slightest ailment is magnified into impending dissolution. It' is natural that there should bo general solicitude about tho health of the man to whom tho, people confldod the reconstruction of a financial policy of tho government, and particularly as Mr. Cleveland's threatened indlspoel. tlon is coincident with cxtroino finan cial crises, when thoro is so much noed for an intelligent head and a steady hand at tho helm. Cancers have brought downBomo of tho world's greatest mon, and a peculiar shudder goes through tho country at tho mention of this dread disease in connection with Mr. Cleve land. Grant, Najtolcon and Frederick of Pursela woro killed by can cers. Thoro is aomohow a dis tinctive horror associated with this torriblo menace. Tho physicians have assured tho public that Mr, Clove land is entirely treo from any malig nant growth; but thoro is a fooling that be Is not beyond danger. The president of the United States owes it to himself aad the country to take care of himself. Should he be seriously disabled at tho v present time the consequences would be noai grave, mr. viuvuiauu auouiu quit working eighteen or ninoteen hours a day. The people, will bo satisfied it ho only works eight hours. The president allows himself to bo too much concernod In the political complications atPodunk- ifiUe, - ami Squeekawken.

In Lincoln thoro is a widely prevalent feeling that tho next county judge will bo Iko Lansing. Tho members of tho Lancastor county bar havo noarly na much buslneaa with Judgo Lansing as lias tho M'orld-Herald, nnd thoy aro iiorhaps almost as well qualified to form an intelligent opinion of his ability and qualifications for tho ofllco an Mr. Hitchcock's nowapnpor, and tho lawyers, regardlosn of politics, pretty generally admit that Judgo Lan sing has at all times triod to do bin duty, and they aro reasonably woll satisfied with his public acts.

A TREACHEROUS MAID Mmo, Loufonrcado, the wife of an army officer during tho French revolu tion, was applied to by tue wire ol an other officer to afford concealment for her husband. Mmo. Loufonrcado lived a short dis tance from tho city of Lyons. She had four servants, aim the main difficulty, provided the officer could reach her dwelling without discovery, was how best to guard tho secret from them. It was finally decidod that ono of tho females should bo taken into hor confi dence and that the officer, who was a rather effeminate looking man, should come disguised In female attiro and bo passed off as a cousin of Fanchette, So Fanchette, a rather pretty girl, waa made acquainted with everything. Captain Lave.-gne made his appear ance in due time, disguised as a woman, and so well did he look and play his part that he waa not suspected by tho other servants or being umeront irom what he seemed. In order, however, to incur aa little risk as possible, he pre tended to be greatly fatigued by bis journey, and was, soon after his arrival, shown to a private room on the upper floor, which he did not leave again for aweek.it being given out that ha.was quits 1U. a n2 At the end of the time mentioned some eight or ten soldiers made their appear ance at the mansion and demanded the person of Captain Lavergne. "If you think thero is any such individ ual undor this roof, you can make your search," replied Mmo. Loufourcade. When the servants woro called togeth er, the lady perceived that Fanchotto was pale and trembling. As soon as the officer saw her ho ex claimed: "Well, wench, did you tell tho truth or not? If you did, it's all right with you, and you needn't bo scared; if you didn't,, it's my honest opinion you'll soon be a. bead shorter." "What is this?" cried Mmo. Loufour cade, in astonishment. "Well, I don't caret" said Fanchette, assuming an impudent manner.. "It's time the aristocrats waa put down and made to know that other -people U as good as them. I heard there was a re ward of a thousand francs offered for this man. who's dared to come here and pass himself off asafemale.and I thought I'd just as good a right to the money as Andf or this you have sold your soul," groaned her mlstrosi "Don't come any religious talk over met" cried Fanchette. "I know more of what's been going on than you thin-. Religion's been swept away by a decree, and death's an eternal sloop." "That's all true, girl," chimed in the officer with an emphatic oath. "But while we're talking the man may get away. Hero, guard, seizo and bind all these parties." There was no rcsistanco mado by tho mistress and hor terrified servants, and in a very short timo all except Fanchette wore secured with cords. "Now. Jdrl," said thoofficor, with a coarso laugh, "show us tho way to your sweet female cousin." Captain Lavergno mcantiino mvaa not entirely ignorant of his peril. From his window ho had seen tho approach of tho soldiers and rightly conjectured they were in quest of himself. His apartment was so situated that ho could not go down stairs and escapo without being seen by somo of tho servants. He. was alarmed, and his mind becamo activo to doviae somo means of defense or escape. Ho had in his possession a braco of load ed pistols, and his first idea waa to bar ricade his door and sel his life as dearly as possible, but in looking about the apartment ho noticed tho fireplace and discovered that tho chimney waa large enonghto admit his person. He could see the light at the top, aud it occurred to him that perhaps ho might escape, and ho resolved to mako tho trial. Taking his pistols with him, Captain Lavergne hurriedly pushed his way up the chimney, with tho viow of getting on. the roof, but when he bad ascended some eight or ten feet he discovered to his agreeable surprise that there was a kind of recess, such as were sometimes left in old fashioned chimneys for the parpoM of opening another flue when ever tt mlgnt be wanted,. Urge aaoagn to conceal him from the view of anyone looking np from below. ' Hastily getting into it, be breathe little mora freely, thong still with good deal of nervobs apprehension. He' feared that in coming np he bad shaken down a sufficient quantity of soot to be tray Ids manner of escape and give a clow to bis place of retreat But a glance downward at his clothes con vinced him that he had little io be alarmed about in this respect for this fluo had never been much used, his gar ments were not badly soiled, and ho could not perceive dirt enough below to attract attention. He had not long to wait before he beard the soldiers enter the room, led by the treacherous girl. "Hal hoescapodr exclaimed tho latter In alarm. Tho offlcor swore somo tcrriblo oaths and fiercely demanded which way. "Either up tho chimney or into somo other part of tho house," said Fanchotto. "He was hero a fow minutes ago." "Quick, men, fly about, bo's not up hero," cried the officer, looking up tho chimnoy, "Two of you run out nnd see If he's on tho roof, and tho rest ransack tho housot If wo don't find him, wo'll burn it downl" A hurried search was apparently mado of tho room thoy wero In, nnd thon Cap tain Lavergno heard tho soldiers in dif ferent parts of the houso opening and banging doors, shouting and cursing. Ho felt his situation now to bo vory crit ital indeed, for should tho houso bo fired ho feared thero might bo no escapo for him. After awhilo tho noiso nnd tu mult subsided, and ever' moment ho was in trembling expectation of hearing or seeing somothing to indlcato that tho building was on tiro, and ho now re solved to mako another bold effort for his lifo. Ho reasoned that thoso sent outsido to s'o if ,ho was on tho roof hnd already rejoined tho others, and ho now resolved to gain tho roof, and if l.o could do so undiscovered to vonturo a leap among the thick shrubbery at tho rear of the mansion. In the courso of two or thrco minutes this dangerous feat waa successfully exe cuted, and Captain Lavergno found him self onco more on tho ground outsido considerably scratched and bruised, but not seriously injured. Ho now heard loud voices insldo and hurriedly stole away through tho shrubbery. Tho searching officer, not finding any traco of tho man ho sought, at last be camo enraged at tho treacherous girl and accused hor of deceiving him. This impression was soon strengthened iuto conviction by Mmo. Loufonrcado and the other servants, and tho whole affair ended in tho releaso of the prisoners and tho arrest of Fanchetto, who was her self marchod off to prison, whore she died. After tho soldiers had gone Captain Lavergno returned to tho mansion to as sure Mmo. Loufourcade of his safety and then set off to mako his escape from the country, which ho accomplished and lived to return at the end of the Reign of Terror. Exchange. Ancient and Modern English Guns. Nelson's ship, the Victory, was de signed to carry 104 guns, consisting of 82, 24 and 12 pounders, ranged on her upper, main, middle and lower docks. 8bo was also armed with a few 08-pound-er carronades. Tho weight of her ono broadside of single shotted guns was 1,104 pounds, which was considorod pro digious in those days. In tho account of tho battlo of Trafalgar, in which action this ship played so prominent a part, tho bro....sido that sho poured into the French, Bucentauro is described a,s ter rific, dismounting 20 of hor adversary's guns and killing and wounding no less than 400 of her officers and men. Compare this with our guns of tho present day, whon a singlo gun of tho Nilo or Trafalgar throws a projectllo 100 pounds heavier than tho whole broadside of the' Victory, while ono of our 101-ton guns discharges a projectile weighing no less than 1,800 pounds! It may bo of interest to know that while only 825' pounds of powdor wero ex- Snded in the discharge of a broadside )m the Victory aa much as 8,000 pounds weight of powder is consumed m firing the broadside of tho Victoria or the Sana Pareil, two of our modern iron cladst Good Words.
