A -whimsical problem has been pro pounded. But under its absurdity lies the key to many a question where the assets of a firm have disappeared. Two men, on the way to a race-course, conveyed a demijohn of whiskey, which they held in partnership, and proposed to vender on the grounds . A condition was made and kept inal good faith, that neither should drink on-the way without paying. One soon drank, nd paid the other the stipulate dime. The other grew thirsty and drank, pay ing his partner the same dime. And so they drove a prosperous trade till, when they reached the race course, they found themselves m possession only of the one dime, and the empty demijohn. Like many other absurd jokes, this has the germ of truth in it, and expresses one of the causes of "hard times" better than many a labor ed financial treatise. The astonished firm had no more need to be astonish ed than many a bankrupt. The sales were matters of facts; and the pay ment for each drink no lsss certain. But the assets were nowhere. "Li quidation" began with the begining of the trade; and profits and capital ran away together. "So many an apparent ly active business is only the con sumption of capital stock, or, more commonly, the disappearance of merchandise obtained on credit. The dealer swallows his own capital (if he has any), and wonders what has be come of it. Our English visitors at Creedmoor were not permitted to go away with out a display of the quality of the model police of New York. An extra force had been detailed lor service at the shooting match, and it is said they en livened the way home by getting drunk, singing obscene songs, knock ing down quiet citizens, and other jrise illustrating the beauties of re form. This must have been a novel spectacle for the British tenuis; they have no such police in Europe. gSf What is a dollar when you can get The Astov.i : for it four months, regularly, including n pamphlet, telling you ail about the great State of Oregon.
