The quality of a costly chocolate may be estimated by the pro portion of these beans that enters into its composition. While the Guayaquil cocoa beans sell at ten to fifteen cents a pound, and those of Caracas and the West Indies at two or three times fhese prices, the Soconusco often fetches a dollar a pound, and at times even more. Apart, therefore, from any mere question of prestige or national honor, it is evident that the district in dispute has an intrinsic pecuniary value which makes it well worth a peaceful contest. —New and large stock of Trimming?

With all the pleasant circumstan" ces attending the oil production abd in" crease of business in Butler, it is sad to see the number of staggering, drunken men on our streets. Last Saturday evening they could be seen iai'ing up on the pavements in sound sleep. They are generally the poor laborers upon the railroad now building. In one case we heard of one of the poor creatures being found in the parlor room of a family, where hejiad slipped in, laid down and went to sleep. Is there no remedy for thisstate of things? Is it right or reasonable to attach all the blame to these workmen, who, in many cases, will drink whenever and wher ever they can get if ?

As Mr. Fleming is a very >eaceable man this is thought strange, he more particularly as beipg done by Swedes, who are also rated as very •eaceable and well behaved. It is opposed they mistook Mr. Fleming or a police officer and thought he was oljowipg them, this arising from the act that he was wearing at the time military clothes, having during the day »een attending a meeting of soldiers lere. One of the men however was ntoxicated, being the one who did the utting. He has been arrested, and is IOW in jail.

Early on Saturday morning a large proportion of our people was surprised and all were shocked by the intelli gence that James X. Crafc, cashier of the Exchange Bank for the past ten years, was a confessed defaulter to a large amount. The report was at first hardly credited by many, but it soon proved to be an ugly truth of ex tensive proportions. Owing to the length of time cov ered by Craft's speculations, and the extended nature of the Bank's corres pondence, it was found imppossible to ascertain even an approximately ex act idea of the amount of the defalca tion. Rumors were flying early Sat urday morning which placed the amount high in the hundreds of thou sands. These reports were, however, met by the statement, based on the partial examination already made, that the loss would not probably be much above SOO,OOO. The event proved that the Exchange Bank did not need any extra strength to meet the crisis. There was noth ing in the nature of a run. A few persons appeared on Saturday and drew their deposits, but most of these were returned as soon as it was re menibeped that the loss, whatever it might be, fell upon the stockholders of the institution. The latter, of whom there are thirty-two, collectively rep resent a very large amount of capital, and ail are individually liable. Fol lowing is a list: F. W. Mitchell, Thos. Jf. Martin, p. Boyles, Win. Gates, D. S. Duffield, W. W. Duffield, I. M. Duf field, H. Duffield, J. D. Hancock, Jno. ' L. Mitchell, W. Wenzel, C. Heydrick, B. C. Stanton, R. 11. Woodburn, Rich ard Irwin, H. D. Hulins, Jos. Bell, J. P. Byers, Thos. Nesbit, S. Q. Stevea son, W- S. Devore, J. W. Brady, F. D. Kinnear, P. McGough, D. Grimm, Wm. Woodburn, P. W. Raymond, Wm. Brough, N. H. Payn, John Mil ton, J. Hanna, Pavid S. Smith. With this showing it need not be stated that the Bank is as solid aa a rock. It is one of the strongest insti tutions in the State. The manner in which Craft's defal cations were carried on for so Jong a time, withqut exciting suspicion, is a subject of curious inquiry. It seems mainly to have been done by a care fully guarded system of false entries in the apcouqts with other banks. The ■Exchange Bank keeps accounts with a number of banks in the eastern cities. The cashier would take money from the Bank vaults, and then, to cover the fraud, would make equivalent false en tries in the accounts of the eastern banks. Thus, in the Park Bank, New York, the bank officials supposed they had $14,000, but are informed by wire that the balance is only $3.05. As the investigation has progressed the pub lie becouae convinced that Craft's man ner of carrying ou bis nefarious work evinces wonderful tact and brain pow? er. Toward the last he was obliged to carry a variety of business in his head and keep track of and meet every danger as it arose. Craft's account of his defalcations, as far as he has given any, is pretty much the same old story which be and other people have been reading for years. IJe began by (jippjng in a little. Loosing this in speculation, he took more. He continued sending good money after bad, with the professed hope of retrieving. At last he &ot into gigantic oil speculations, anc| lost by tfye thousands. It is reported that he investedjiargely in oil before the Cher ry Grove excitement, and carried 300,- 000 barrels of oil from 80 cents down to 60, thus sinking $60,000. This may be overstated, but It ii certain Craft was deeply and ruinously in oil. He was also extensively engaged in the producing business, aud likewise had mining investments in Colorado. Craft was an intimate friend of State Treasurer Bai|y, having been reared in the same town in Fayette county, Pa. At Harrisburg it is claimed they have receipts for $85,000 of State funds deposited by Gen. Baily in the Exchange Bank. Only $22,000 are credited on the books of the Bank, and the presumption io that the balance was converted by Craft to his own use. J. N. Craft came to Franklin about thirteen years ago, highly endorsed, and entered the International Bank under Col. Bleaklev, as casbier. He had previously been teller in the First National Bank of Uniontown. He re mained with Col. Bleaklev three years. Some months after leaving his employ he was sent for to take the cashiership of the Exchange Bank, and held that position for about ten years—which was several years too many for his own good or the good of his employers. \ Terrible Crime. SHAUPSBURG, PA., Aug. I.— A lady returning to her home about nine o'clock, near Ross station, observed a man stretched across the railroad track. She procured assistance and him rpmoved ; Hp was unconscious, but when brought toq, told this story: "My name 13 George ftingland. I work at butchering fqp Mr. Walfogle in Jitua.

INTRODUCED BY GENERAL SHERMAN. No white man is more widely known among the Indians than is Col. Dodge, who is always spoken of by them ae the "Big Chief." His new work "Our Wild Indians," on the title page of which Gen. Sherman's name also appears, was undertaken by him at the urgent solicitation of many distinguished men. It was 1101 how ever, until GEN*. SHEHMAN offer ed to write an INTRODUCTION to the the work, and to give it his official sanctio:., tLat Col. Podge consented to undertake it. It is the first authentic account of our wild Indians that has been written for nearly forty years. The author writes from the «tand poiat of actual persoual experience, and it is interesting to note in this connection the exceptional opportuni ties of observation he has enjoyed, as will be seen from the following state ments of facts :—Col Podge was graduated from West point in 1848, and was at once assigned to active duty on the Texas frontier among the crafty and cunning Comanches. From that time until bis last cam paign against the Utes, in 1880, a period of thirty-three years, his life has been spent in direot personal contact with the wildest Indians of the "Far West." In this third of a century he has had intercourse with thirty-four different tribes, having fought his way foot by foot through Indian lands over neyec fore trodden by the foot of a white man. His position as a high com manding officer in the U. S. army, and leader of many important expe ditions against the Indians, has given him opponqnities fqr study and ob servation, such as have never before fallen to the lot of a white man, and such as no one in civil life could pos sibly command. In this volume of 650 pages, Co|. Dodge aims to give a truthful and minute account of "OUR WILD INDIANS'' of the present day; to vividly describe their actions, habits, customs, religious manners, and amusements as by them noiy in the uncivilized regions of their uninvaded country; to give graphic accounts of thrilling and exciting adventures among them ; to narrate daring exploits and hairbreadth escapes, not oply from his own ex perience, but from that of other white men, and of Indians also; and to re cord desperate encounters, hand-to hand combats, sudden surprises, re« markable flefences, and heroic achieve ments incident to frontier life. In all of this Col. Dodge has succeeded admirably, and he has produced in comparably the most exhaustive and truthful account of "Our Wild Indians" ever written, and undeniably one of the most facinating books of personal daring apd romantic adven ture ever published. IJis narrative is spiced with many graphic accounts of famous Scouts and Guides: of Trappers, Frontiersmen, Squatters, Squaw-Men, Texas Cow-Boys, Miners, Gold Hunters, Border Ruffians and Desperadoes, and their adventures and wonderful acb;gvn.ents are facina ting pen-pictures of life in our Indian country. "Truth is stranger than fiction," and most essentially so in this thrilling record of Thirty-Three Years' Experience. Gen. Sherman truthfully says in bis introduction:—"Yours is the first attempt of which I have knowledge to treat him (the Indian) as he exists ill fact. You have had the expert ence of a third century in absolute contact with the various tribes of our Indians, from the British line to Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona,hunt ing with them in peace and in war. It is by far tbe best description ex tant of the manners, customs, usages, ceremonies, etc., of the American as he now is. You are hereby au thorized to use my name as authori ty for its publication and circulation; and I invite all persons to read this book carefullv." fhe book is both profusely and magnificently illustrated. Its list of steel-plates includes portraits of the author, and of Gen. Crook, Gen. Miles, Gen. Custer, Gen. Mclvenjio, etc., and there are many superb full page engravings on wood. But the crowning feature of the illustrations are the magnificent full-page Chromo lithograph Plates. These are print ed in fifteen colors, from ninety en graved stones, and represent weapons, ornaments, instruments, fac-similies qf Indian drawings, and remarkable ob jects of intent and curiosity too numerous to mention. The Smith sonian Institute at Washington is largely indebted to Col. Dodge for its extensive collection of Indian ob jects, collected by him in the past thirtv-threo years. a carettfl and critical exam ination of Col. Dodge's great work, we can truthfully say that it cora» bines iq 8R yn#anal degree great value and the most thrilling inter est; uniting both with magniGcent illustrations.
