As lt flashed from a beauty's breast.
The blue eye loses lu power
Aa age comes creeping ou ;
The fair form droops from it? stately grace,
The roses fly from the t are worn race.
The charm from the trembling tone.
The color rades from the canvas.
The magic from ringing rhvme ;
Now, ls there a joy lu this world or oor3,

For tears cannot drown, nor absence dim,
And death Itseirmay not conquer him,
And true love never can die.
CROPS IN THE STATE.
The following letters concerning the present
condition of the growing crops lu this State,
have been furnished THE NEWS by factors of
this city :
SOUTER COUNTY, August 22.
The cotton crop will be short lu Sumter
County, not equal to last year. The cutir?
crop, 3,500,000 bales may be reached, but I
think ibese figures will have to be lowered.
Every boll will be open on some fields by the
1st September, and I think tue crop can be
fithered by October 1st, in Sumter county.
UBt the cause.
CLARENDON, August 19.
It is almost guess work to make a probable
estimate of the cotton crop about herc, but so
far as I can conclude from observai ion and
expressions o? planters lt is very conclusive
that the yield will not be much larger than
last year. More cotton will be upon the mar?
ket by the 15th ot October lrom this Beetloo
thart,last year, owing to the use of fertilizers
and better cultivation.
Reports from the County Press.
The Cheraw Democrat says: "Sunday after?
noon last this seo ion of the county was visited
by a good rain. Al that time ihe crops were
beginning to suffer drought. We learu from
some of the most experienced und Intelligent
farmers In the county that ID consequence of
rust, drought, ?c., the prospect for a large
yield ol colton ls not so good by fifty per cent,
now, as lt was on ihe 20th of July last."
The Cheraw Democrat has seen some colton
known as the San tee Black Jack or Sea Island,
grown by Mr. H. Farrelly, of that town. The
weed ls tall, branches weil and seems to be in
better hearing condition than the upland
variety growing close by, with no loss by the
shedding of bolls or forms. It seems to be
bearing a larger amount ot colton than the up?
land, and Mr. F. thinks will make a finer
Btaple.
The Laurens ville Herald say?: "Tho late
heavy raina which fell on last Thursday utter
noon and night, ami on Friday morning, did
great damage to the corn upon bottom ianda,
and In wrecking and washing away bridges
on the different streams. Several mills and
mill-dams were more or less injured. We
have beared ol one or two entirely destroyed,
though we have not heard the full ext-nt ot
the destruction. A large amount of corn has
been entirely destroyed, several farmers losing
each from eight hundred to one thousand
bushels. It is said that some ol the streams
of the county were as high In the recent
freshet as that of August, 1852. We have
heard of no other serious damage to the crops
than that mentioned."
The Union Times says: "On Thursday even?
ing last a heavy rain set in at this place and
ooQtioued with great violence until Friday
coon. We learn that it did great damage to
the oom on the creek bottoms. In many ol
these bottoms the corn was completely de?
stroyed. The dams at Beaty's and Munro's
mills were washed away. Mr. Beaty bad Just
completed repairing bis dam which was badly
injured a lew weeks ago. Weare never dis?
posed to over-esllmate a growing crop, but
we rtpuest), believe, lrom what we see and
hear, thai the present cotton crop of Union
promises to be almost equal to that of 1870,
while the corn crop is much belter. As a
friend said lo us last week, 'ia many places
the corn ls as Koori as it is possible for the
land to make it ' If nothing further occurs lo
damage the crops, it ls believed that Union
County will be in a better condi t ion, tl naneial ly,
than aha h na been, lo r man j.- yaara."

A CUNNING DEFAULTER.
A Fast Life and lt? H ir? ci*-How a Na?
tional Bank was Swindled by ita
Bookkeeper.
The New York World gives the following
concerning the recently discovered d?falca?
tion of George Kingsland in that cit \ :
The defalcation of George Kingsland, a
bookkeeper in ihe Hudson County" National
Bank, though for a few days known to several
persons, was, until Wednesday, kept quiet, at
the desire of the bank authorities, In order to
enable them to make a complete investigation
and lake tho necessary steps to secure them?
selves. The defaulting clerk ls In Europe,
having sailed on July 10th, it is believed, how?
ever, with the intention of returning, and he
may even now be on his way back. He was a
man believed to be o? high character, and wae
granted leave of absence because of ill-hea.it h.
He had lost lu rapid succession lour
children, and was believed to be suffering
lrom this and his own ill-healtb. He is the
son ot E. W. Kingsland, for a long lime
treasurer of Hudson County, and one ot the
wardens of St. Mark's Protestant Episcopal
Church. In granting bim leave of aosence,
the bank presented'him with two hundred
dollars and continued his salary while away.
He sailed in company with his wile and the
pastor ol his church; and. as lils accounts
Were left in such a condition that under any
ordinary circumstances his defalcation would
not have been discovered, lt is more (han
probable! that he will return. The president
o? the bank, after Kingsland had sailed, h id
bis attention attracted to a .rumor that he had
been loading a rather fast life. This led him
IQ institute a searching examination into the
missing man's accounts, which were, how?
ever, properly balanced and almost baffled
investigation. Subsequent developments
showed that the bank had lost, probably, be?
tween 2 flee ri and twenty thousand dollars,
though errors amoiinilng to only seven
thousand five hundred dollars had been
traced to him. It seems that he had beer
highly trusted, and had taken the receiving
teller:s place whenever that gentleman war
absent or late. He would lake deposits, en t-i
them upon the individual books and upon bil
ledger, so tbat they showed correctly, bul
never made ?utries ol the moneys taken upoc
the cash bo jk. By operating lu this way ht
could go or with impunity until some seule?
ment should be made wlih some one ol tin
depositors whose deposit he had failed to en?
ter, when the balancing o? their account:
would be likely to show the delalcation. Tc
guard as far as possible against this, he had
tampered with only anout half a dozen ac?
counts, and had selected the ones which wer?
most likely to run long ana steadily. Arnon;
the number was that ot his own father, o
all moneys taken he kept memoranda, so thai
in striking each month's balance he knew
how much had been taken from each deposi
tor, and could easily force a balance by debit?
ing up to the amount. By this method even r
close Investigation would fail to reveal ilu
fact that the books were falsely balanced
The unexpected discovery of this crime anc
of his previous mode of life, which must havt
been unsuspected even by his wife, has prove?1
a terrible blow to his family and friends. -

TBE ULTIMATE EFFECT OF TflE
GREAT FRENCU LOAN.
The Thunderer's View of the Case-An
Era of Inflation at Hanrf, to End In
the Financial Collapse "Due" In 1875.
[City Article of the London Times, August 10.]
The partially fictitious excitement from the
enormous disproportion of the applications for
the French loan lottie amount to be allotud
having subsided, attention will be given to
ihe question of the permanent consequence
of the operation. Some weeks ago lt was
pointed out that they are likely to pfove en?
tirely different from lho3e expected by the
public, and that the loan, instead of being a
cause of future distrust on ibe money market,
would moBt probably lead te an unprecedent?
ed degree of the inflation, whence the
periodical crash due in 1875 or 1876 will,
perhaps, be found in a great measure to
date Hs origin. The transaction simply
consists in the creation of new nego?
tiable property to the extent of ?120,000.000,
which will cause a proportionate increase to
the sense of power and wealth already enjoyed.
In the first instance it passes to the hands of
Germany, but lt must lrom that country
gradually find ils way throughout the world.
France makes the payment without practically,
for the moment, becoming poorer; but Ger?
many, the receiver, becomes ?120,000,000
rlcner. France creates ihe means Dy a pledge
ot about seven or eight millions sterling per
annum of her luture revenues. No one In
that country will have any immediate sense of
injury from the payment. If a man brings
out a reserve of gold, or If ho parts with some
already existing iuvestment lor the purpose ot
subscribing, he does nol feel htmselt poorer
when he receives his allotment ol' the new
loun In return, bur, on the contrary, is pleased
with the cnange, which he would not have
voluntarily madn had he not regarded lt ns
advaniaaeous. If lils gold, which had been
previously hoarded, be paid to the Germans,
or if Hie securities be has parted with find
their way to London or elsewhere to procure
gold or bills for the purpose, the Germans
come into so much extra wealth, with which
they must do something. They may lock
up some ot it, and mus deprive them?
selves of any benefit except such as
indirectly arisen lrom the reputation
ot being poesepsed of reserved means,
but lhere is no reason to suppose
that any large appropriation is likely to
be made io this thriftless way, or lhat such
amount, whatever lt may be, will approach
that which has been drawn out from French
hoards. There is a probability, however, that
a good sum may be employed iu paying off the
publie debt9 of Germany, and, should this be
ihe ease, it will, so fair as lt may cause Ute
cuucelmeni of existing negotiable securities,
neutralize ihe effect ol Hie French loan, since
lo thal extent the transaction will represeni
but u creation of French stocks on tue one
hand, and an extinction ot German stocks on
tho other. Until lt be known how much will
thus be appropriated, no definite anticipations
cuu be formed of tue en uro effects of Hie
operation. But, in any case, there must he a
large available balance, and whether tins be
employed in public works, in deposits with
foreign banks at interest, or in investments in
foreign securities, such as United Stateal or
other bonds, or lu the shares ol public com?
panies, the result must be the same, namely :
ihe generaladvauce in prices. Of course, the
effect ot an addition Ol 120,000.000 sterling to
thu negotiable securities of Europe ls not
equal to that which would be produced by the
Issue ot a similar amount of nciual currency,
bul it causes to Its lull extent an Increase of
credit power. Doubtless In some cases an
issue ot new securities might occur with?
out any appreciable result, a?, lor In?
stance, wueu it depreciates the credit of the
lsBiier so as to cause a heavy fall in the value
oi previous Issues, bu:, lu the case of the
French loan the influence had been entirely
In the opposite way. History furnishes simi?
lar examples in alt directions. England, Hol?
land and Hie United States, especially the lat?
te*, are powers that can trace their rise as
financial giants solely from the date of their
dormant national credit being put Into an
active form. America, until she had an enor?
mous debt, ol'her own, was accustomed to pre?
dict that the national debt of England must
ultimately cause our ruin, but she has since
seen, under a similar burden, u marvellous in?
crease ol' financial animation, lt ls true thai
the greater part of the stock creations ol En?
gland, Holland and the United states went to
enrich home contractors and employees of all
sorts, and thal but a small proporiiou ot the
French loan has gone In this way, so that it ls
lrom Germany and not from France that ibe
Inflation must now chiefly arise. Already
lhere are symptoms of this in Berlin, and the
movement started there win gradually extend
to all other markets. While the payments
between France and Uermtiny are In progress
lhere may be an occasional temporary pertur-1
batlon, bul ibe experience ot those hitherto ?
effected, and also ol' the manner In which the
recent loan subscriptions have been managed, 1
shows it ow cagily ihe great exchance opera?
tions of Hie world mary be carried" through
when C' m tided to efficient hands. As regards
our own position, we know that neither Ger?
many nor any other country can drain from us
anything beyond what we ow? them, and that,
consequently, unless we are Imprudent enough
lo use such German deposits as may from lime
to time come to our custody as ll' they were our
own permanent property, lt will be a matter
of entire unconcern io us, as an individual na?
ilon, whether Germany suddenly resolves to
absorb specie, or lo distribute it. That she
will under any circumstances have a vast
amount to invest cannot be doubled, and lt ls
equally certain lhat tbe effect upon prices will
be in proportion to such investments. It she
binn Austrian, American, or other stocks,
those who sell her those stocks must put their
money Into something else; if she constructs
arsenals,ships or other nat ional works.she mun
disburse In wages fad material sums that will
find their way to contractors, and lrom them
to the various bourses. In the question how
to dispose of her sudden accession of wealth
so as ultimately not to do more harm than
good, she bas. perhaps, to encounter the most
difficult problem that could be presented.
The only thing at present certain is that a
period of Intlailon must be anticipated,and that
when this in ll ul on shall In the course of a lew
years have readied its height some of those
-?unexpected" circumstances for which we are
never prepared, although they arc to be
looked fur with more posit 1 veness than any?
thing else lu the world, whether it be a bad
harvest, a war of revenge, or any analogous
catastrophe, will lead to the usual collapse, IQ
which people will Insist upon considering the
best securities tn be worin nothing, and every
man will sympathize with hip neighbor in be?
lieving himself lo be beggared.

TBE BRUISERS' FIASCO.
The Prize Fight Ended Without a Be
ginning.
The rendezvous of the prize fighters, Mace
and O'Baldwin, with their friends, at Colliers,
West Virgiuia, on Wednesday, and the flare
ont of the fight have been briefly announced
by telegraph. A correspondent, who accom?
panied the parly, writes:
There were present in the party O'Baldwin
and Ids sec? mis, Tom Kelly and Johnny
Dwyer, and James Griffin, ol Boston; John
Ohearn, ol Philadelphia, and a numt *r of less
prominent sporting men, accota; uled by
Mace and his seconds and traine* Barney
Aaron and Dooney Harri*, together with Poo?
ley Mace. Joe Coburn, Nick Langan, Jim Co?
burn. Joe Kaiser, Billy Tracey, Harry Hillend
a number of others. Most of the crowd
carried pistols and revolves in the pis?
tol-pockets of their pauls, and lt needed
only an ugly word or a blow to pro?
duce a stack of weapons. There was a gang
from Washineton called the "Blood Tubs;"
thea there were the "Plug Uglies," "Rip
Raps," and the "Mash Market Gang," from
Baltimore, while all the professional thieves
irom Chicago, St. Louis, Cleveland, Cincinna?
ti. Pittsburg, Ballimore, Philadelphia, New
York, Buffalo and Boston were present, busily
plying their trade. Mace entered the ring at
twenty minutes past six P. M. He won the
toss fur posltioo, and selected ihe northeast
corner of the ring. O'Baldwin wore green
curlers and green silk handkerchief. Mace's
colors were blue and white. There was con?
siderable difficulty In selecting a referee. John
I Leary und Henry Hughes were selected by
either party, but neither selection was accepta?
ble. Barney Aaron and Dooney Harris second?
ed Mace, and Tom Kelly and Johnny Dwyer
O'Baldwin. the formerof whom remarked that
O'Baldwin was not ool y fighting for the stakes,
but the championship ot' the world. After a
long discussion, when darkness was ap?
proaching, O'Baldwin came to the centre of
the rlog and expressed himself ready and
anxious to fight without a referee. At this
juncture Mace stood up and said: "I have
come here lo have a fair fight, and I only
want a fair fight, as lt ls my last, fight, as I am
gettlog old and want, to retire from the ring.'*
O'Baldwin then rose and said be likewise only
wanted lair play, a profession which Mace
said he readily believed. Argument alter
argument ensued. Joe Coburn said that
O'Baldwin had selected Hughes and Mace
John Leary, and that be was willing to let
the men name the referee. This did not set?
tle the difficulty, and still the crowd stood
perspiring and cursing. At length darkness
came on and settled lu the damp valley, and
the ropes were torn down and the fight ended.
The men afterward proceeded to Steubenvllle.

NO POSTPONEMENT FROM SEP?
TEMBER 28.
TO THE PUBLIC:
The Trust?es of Hie Public Library of Ken
tacky, being satisfied from the large sale of
tickets already made, and the dally increasing
demand for them, that there viii benoocca-lon
for postponing tho Second Drawing In the Gift
Concert. In fid of the Public Library of Kentucky,
have instructed me, aa their Agent and Manager
of the Gift Concert, to say to the pabll: and
ticket-holders that tho Drawing will positively
take place on September 28th, prox., and will not
be postponed. An active demand lor tlcketa
comes from every State and Territory of the
United States, and from the canaria1-, giving as?
surance to the Trastees that no clrcu m ".tances can
prevent a Drawing at ihn appointed time.
A sufficient clerical force ls engaged to keep np
with the orders for tickets, and, In order that this
ellice may be relieved of the Immense pressure In?
cident to the business for ihe week or two Im?
mediately preceding the Drawing, sgents espe?
cially, and those desirous ? f pncnrlog tickets,
are reqiestrd to send tn their orders Iramcdl uely,
as sales will have to bc closed In time to make the
necessary preparations for tho Drawing. It ls
the wish of the management to nil every order
tor a ticket, sa wen as to sell all the tickets, but
those who apply first moat flrstbe supplied; and
if those who pat orr buy log until salea are closed
have their m >ney returner), Instead of the tlcketa
ordered, as in the First Gift Concert, In December
last, whon thousands or dol?ais tlut came too
late were sent back, they will have none to blame
but themselves.
