Senator ManJerson wa shot In the back, and hence is entitled to back pay. What's the use of making a fuss about it. Bills of exchange were Invented by the Jews,as a means of removing their prop erty from countries where they were per secuted. ' Georgia fruitgrowers have made a large amount of money the present summer. From peaches alone the fruit dealers of Houston county have received $200,000, This fruit was all sold In the markets of Northern states. Nothing sinks a young man into low company, both of men and women, so surely as timidity and diffidence of him self. If he thinks that he shall not.he may depend upon it he will not please, and a degree of persuasion that he shall, it Is al most certain that he will. The negro Clarksjn.who has been made postmaster at Black Mountaln.N. C, can not read or write. W hen letters are asked for the postmaster dumps the entire msil of the office in front of the applicant and invites him tosee if there is anything ad dressed to him. Near Salt Lake City In Utah is a salt mountain, to which, if a short railroad Is run.the whole country might well look for a supply of salt. The abundance of this indispensable necessary of life In this coun try is perhaps one reason why the English and American capitalists have abandoned their purpose to create a corner in It. After all that has been said by the re publican platform by Mr Harrison in his campaign speeches and letter of acceptance and by all the organs and speakers of the paitv against the "pet banks," and the pol icy of so disposing of the surplus revenues it is surprising to learn from the July debt statement that the government deposits lnf the said pet banks was increased during the month from $47,432,337 ' $48'93o, 764, or by about $1,500,000. An original deed of Manhattan Island, made Nov. 7, i6j6,or nearly 263 years ago, has been discovered. The entire Island was then sold for $24 The enormous in crease of money compounded at interest may be understood when It is computed that the $34 if let out at seven per centi and the interest computed every six months, would double in a little less than ten years. Calling it just ten years, the $14 doubling twenty-six times would now make the enormous sum of $805,366,368, HOUELY PHILOSOPHY. Fretting cures no evil, but it sometimes relieves the monotony of too much happiness. It Is advisable to put our heart into whatever work we may have to perform. but It is wise to think well before we put our money in. When a person becomes too, good to overlook the fault of the unfortunate, then it Is that he make the error which loses to him the glory of his goodness. Delusions are the natural consequences of Ignorance. A lack of knowledge of a thing necessitates the invention of a theory to account foi its being. The chronically unhappy mait,who per sists in trying to sour humanity ,should get him to his closet with his woes, and give the sunshine a chance to warm his neigh bors. A man with a red nose Is always sus pected of men. He may also be wronged of men, far it may be that he Is, instead of a heavy drinker, a sufferer fiom some painful malady. When you see a person trying to play the fool, and you hear it remarked of him t.-.at he is a fool, you may take it as an evidence that he was created for the part One strong, well directed blow sends the nail truer to Its home than do a dozen coaxing taps. One fit and earnest word carries more weight than does a whole yard of high flown eloquence. The trouble with people nowadays is they give much a'.tcntlon to the exterior,to the detriment of the interior. They think more of the sack than they do of the grain. The consequence Is there Is much poor grain parading in fine sacks. When tossed on the angry waves of a ea of trouble a good motto is "Never give up the ship." But when the ship mani fests a tendency to sink, It is a wise move to swim out and not go down with the wreck. "Never a rose without a thorn" Is an axiom possessing much truth. It fallows, then, that the thorns were created for the purpose of protecting the treasures of the bush. So do we often find In he man life that beauties of the heart and mind are pre served by the thorns of unshapely bodies, iinbeaptlful faces or lack of wealth. TAKE THE SfcWSI'Al'ER. The Albany New York Jtnrml,o'. recent date contained the following: A workman in lhis city who was complaining of hard times recen- ly was asked bow he could afford to take a daily paper. "Well," said he,"I hope I shall never be too poor to take a paper. I thought I was too poor for ten years after I wss married. My wife suggested that I take a paper regular ly and I did so, and it was the most econom ical stroke of my life, It kept me home even ings, afforded me pleasure and instruction and was a comfort :o the whole family. I had to stop the use of tobacco for a whole year once in order to pay for the paper and the result was that I have not cared for tobacco since, and in that one item I have saved money enough to' pay for several daily papers. So long as 1 1 have money enough to buy bread with I will ' have money enough to pay for my newspaper." XEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
