A FINANCIAL AFFAIR.
1 h Itrimirkitlile Hurrrss of Itrrtln and
the Secret of It.
M hen Hertlu Fit.mordaiiiit Townsend
brought his dull, hlasu manner, his Kti
gllsli accent, his cravitutan gloves, his
carefully creased, twenty-two Inch trim
ners, nml his enainelisl leather hIiocn with
wpotlcKsly whltt) ovurgalteM, Into tho olllcu
of lcwls ifc Ilayilock, It Is ncedles to say
that hu created a profound sensation. The
porters always took olT their hata to hlin,
and country customers mistook him for a
Hpcelnl partner, However, all this gor
geousiicss cost thu house only tho mere
trlllo of l per week.
llortlowu.su young gentleman of wealthy
nml nrlstocratlonutccedentM. llohad been
rusticated from Harvard, where ho had
iioiiu ins im'hi to convince his rather that n
mm in college was nearly as expensive a
luxury as a steam yacht, mid had been
placed with us In order to glvo him u
chance to form sonic idea of the laborious
ness of the money getting process.
Mr, Iuwis said hu was cheap at any
price, for whenever ho felt Iiluu over the
drop In Astrakhans or tho slow salo of
dress goods ho had only to look at llertle,
ami n lierco desire to get up and kick lilm
would arise ami Nwccp from his mlmi nil
gloomy anil depressing thoughts.
Hy way of ii atart Ilertiu was detailed to
look after the siualler city collect lom and
wu used to picture to ourselves the con
sternation of thu tradesman whoso little
shop wan invaded by ho overpowering a
pormmagc.
Hut wu nooii had reason to admit that he
was not ho stupid as hu looked, for the
small bills were henceforth collected with
unusual eiiHu and rapidity.
Delinquent debtors paid up long stand
ing accounts iti n manner that wom truly
marvelous.
Hut thu climax wna reached when llertle
turned in thu sum of $4.73, which hu said
won in settlement of thu live yours' old no
count of Mm. Mary McGcu, No. 4,705 Third
avenue.
On this occasion Mr. Lew-Is called him
into thu private olllcu and congratulated
him on his hiicccam, remarking that it he
kept up this creditable display of business
enterprise ho would unquestionably de
velop into a future A. T. Stewart.
Hut tho crash was to come, Ono day
Mm. McGee camu into thu Htoru, and as a
necessary preliminary to obtaining more
Koodn, offered to pay her bust bill. The
bookkeeper looked thu matter up and told
her It wits paid in full. Shu said it was not.
Hu insisted that it was, and n wordy dis
cussion ensued, which resulted in her put
ting her money in her pocket, and depart
ing with a happy grin on her face.
When llcrtlu camu In from his rounds
the bookkcecr tackled him.
"Isn't Mary Mcdeo'a account Hctvhilf"
"Certainly," returned llertle.
"Hut she was in today and wanted to
pay It."
"Well, It's paid, ye know; I ought to
know, yu know, for ah I nh paid It ino
Belf, bah Jovul"
"You paid It yourself J"
"Yaiw. I got tlrcl of going to see the
beggnh thu laluly, I mean and I paid it
myself to wive Iwther."
An Investigation proved that Bcrtto had
pursued this course wherever collections
were dinicult, and his brilliant llnauclul

diering as a memlier of tho militia, nml
rosu to thu rank of major general of the
Third division of artillery. Ho was elected
sheriff of Herkimer county In 18,'H, and
from that on took anactlvniuten-st in pol
itics, among other positions holding that
of auditor of tlm jKirt of New York.
From the date of organization of tho Ho
publican party (Ion. .Spinner was a con
sistent and liilliiential member of it. Twlco
re-elected to thu national legislature, ho
Hat thrcu ternm in tho house of representa
tivesfrom the first Monday in December,
18.V, to thu memorablu and exciting 4th
day of March, iHill. Lincoln's administra

age. Salmon 1'. Chase, of Ohio, wan
chosen secretary of thu trcimury. Ho In
turn, knowing the man's Inflexible hon
esty, financial experience, system ami ac
llvltj', wpiesteil that Spinner bo niipoluted
treasurer of tlm United States. This selec
tion was made, and hu whoso "grupovlnu"
autograph on thu greenbacks mid national
bank currency madu him celebrated in
monetary ami business circles throughout
thu world, hud charge of thu strong vaults
mid precious liores of the government for
nu uninterrupted period of fourteen years.
On tho last day of June, 1875. when thero
were three-anil-soventy milestones checked
upon the tablets of his earthly Journey, hu
passed his official portfolio to his successor.
His books camu within a cent of balanc
ing, and that. cent, was found after a long
search.
Deserving of every honor conferred upon
him, it Is yet a luminous fact that Gen.
Spinner's surest fiiino rests upon and is
closely Identilled with the most peculiar of
all strikingly original autographs, This
signature has Ih-cii pronounced "tho de
spair of graphologists nml thu treasure
trove of collectors." On Its light and
heavy mystifying vmi curves cautionary
signals aru hung that there's to be no char
acter reading attempted from n whirligig
in ink which fulrly, If not squarely, out
rivals tho distortions of an eel.
The forger has never been thrilled by a
microscopic, contemplation of Francis K.
Spinner's uvery day handwriting, yet it
continues thu delight of ardent seekers and
lovers of the curious. Seeing tills remark
ahlo signature for tho llrst timu an expert
would Is) nonplussed, for thero is nothing'
in It or about it that in thu least rullccta
thu outward manner or thu true Inward
ness of its architect.
In the evening hours of his life Gen.
Spinner prepared an Important work on
thu historical and political aspects of Amer
ican llnanco. Insidious disease, however,
undermined thu constitution that had long
dolled the ills to which llesh and ago aro
heirs. A cancer of thu face slowly sapped
his vitality. Hu spent his last years living
in a tent on his Florida estate, thu mildness
of the climate and constant contact with
nature doing much to alleviatu tho pangs
of his Incurable ailment.
Thu illustration given herewith is repro
duced from Scrlbner's Monthly for April,

curso him. Michael Dragnmouoff is said
bo Iki thu man's proper appellation, but
there Is no proof to sitbstantbitu thu asser
tion. However, it is as Stepnlak that tho
noted nihilist has madu his way to tho list
ot iersonages. So far as ascertained ho has
been mi intellectual ami moral rather than
a physical force agitator. Hy his writings
he has upicaled from tho c.ur to civiliza
tion, yet he frankly avows his sympathy
with Padhtwski, thu slayerof (Jen. Sellvers
koff and other "rash" devotees of nihilism.
Regarding the use of force Stepnlak
agrees with Llebknecht, thu lo.uler of tho
German Social Democrats, who, when
asked if hu sanctioned violence, said: "In
countries where anything elso is possible,
