Mr.. Richie, some short time since. addressed

au.evasion of the question. and an evidence of
disposition in the Hon. Mr.. Ne Dufae, % Dem.
Ggogue:
In reply te the question as to the expediency
ofestablisling Bank, he says. 'I should be
totally blind TO the lessons of experisae esef-
ter MetremendoEs explosion Of the late Bdnk Of
the United States. could believe it exPedient
to establish another" Now, we would ask
what is the impression he wishes to make upon
the minds Of his readers? Is il not that the
United States Bank, as a National institution,
explOdcd7 Surely it is Is it then true, that
thu United States Bank proper ever did blow up
or explode Not at all
The United States Bank redeemed all her is
sue, and the stock of this institution was sold
at its cessation, as National Bank, at some IA
or l6aper cent premium. Those who purchase
cd the stock of the United States Bank, after
the expiration of the term of its Charter, as a
National institution, obtained from the Legisla-
ture of Pennsylvania a Charter for Bank
which Bank, they called the United States Bank
of Pa. The truth, then is; the United States
Bank, as a National institution, never did exa
p!ode, as represented by Mr.. McDuffie, but on
ly ceased to be, by the expiration of the term of
years, for which it was chartered.
Is it just and generous in Mr'McDufie, to
attempt to induce the American people to be-
lieve that the National Bank explodei-nstead
of stating that the Bank which exploded was a
State Bank, of Pa, State Bank, which had as
twas the institution which met with this fatali-
ty.". If man occupying so responsible rela-
tonship to the people of this country as Mr.
McDufie does, will essay TO mislead the public
mind by so partial statement for party effect.
what hope can we have, for the perpetuation of
our representative government? Such a course
is unworthy the most humble representative Of
a free people: and it is doubly unbecoming a
grave Senator of the United States. Shame to
such Demagogue, and downfall to cause
which requires SO mean stratagem for its sup
port.

NIcETrEs OF THE LAw.--Payments may be
too prompt for the safety of the payer; as we
learn from the Law Magazine. payment
means payment in due course. and not by an.
ticipation. Thus payment of rent before the
day on whichit is due is voluntary payment
and will accordingly sometimes entail on thu
tenant the liability of paying the whole, or
(since 18th William Nv. c. 32} part over again
to some other person; E. g. revisioner or re-
mainderman, who by the death &C. of the
party to whom the money was paid, has become
entitled to it before or a. the time at which If
became due. But though rent is not due till
sunset of the day on which it is reserved, that
being the point of time when by law it ought
to be paid, and before which at the earliest no
remedy can be taken against the lessee, still
if on the morning of that day the tenant pays
his rent 10 the lessor, who dies before noon,
this payment, though voluntary as being made
before sunset, is good sgainst the heia and al
but the Crown"

4 yankee trick.-The editor of the KnicF.

The Yankee trick described by OUT
Medford Mas sachusetts correspondent is on

unlike the anecdote OF an old oficiaf Dutchman
in the valley of the Mohaw, who onece stopped
Yankee pedlar jorneying slowly through The
valley on the Sabbath, and informed him that he
must pat up for theday;or, afit'vash neshessary
dat he should travel he nlust~pay for de pass .
It ac0s necessary, it seems, foIhe told the YAM
kee to write the pass and he would sign it ;
thai he could do, though he didn't much write
orfread Iwritin." The pass was written and
and signed with the Dntchnan's hierogIyphcs
and the pedlar went forth 'sinto the bowels oi
the land, without impediment." Some six
months afterwards Brother Dutchman who
kept Gstors" farther down the Mohaw. in
.seettling'' with the pious official, brought in
among other accounts, an order for twenty
Ave dollars worth Of goods" How ish dat!"
said the Sunday Off Ger: 81 never give no order;

The following sentiments were unanimously
adopted in the Congregationalist Church of Chris
in Jamaica, w. July 6, 1914,
Whereas, Slavery being in itself, in its legti-
innate operations, system of inquity, involving
the violation of every command of the DecaIogue
inconsistent with the pure principle OF the Cos
pe-at war with the sacred rights of God and
man-therefore,
Resolved, That we will not practice slavery
ourselves.
Resolved, That we will withhold all our in1u
ence, physical, moral, political, andreligious, from
the support of the system, and by all right, wei
adapted MEANS, will we seek its peaceful, immedl
ate and everlasting overthrow.
Resolved, That we consider slavery to be sucI
system of wickedness, as excludes all who prac
tice or defend it, from the Church Of Christ. W.
do not consider the Great Head of the Church a
inviting any such to his communion table, nor au
thorsiug any Of his disciples to do it.
Resolved, That this Church will not nvt

The YOU'VE SwEARER REBUKED.-A clergyman
sailing up the Hudson river in soop, some forty
years since, was panied by the protapeness of
young man. Seeking favorable opportunity, he
told him he had wounded his feelings by speaking
against his best Friend-the Saviour. The young
man showed no reIentngs, and at one of the Ian
dings left the boat. The clergyman was pdlned,
and feared that his lahors were in vain Seven
years after, as the Clergyman went to the General
Assembly at Philadelphia, young clergyman &C
costed him, saying he thought he knew his counte-
nance, and asked him if he was not on board a
sloop on the Hudson river seven years before
with profane young man. At length the cir
cumstances were called to mind. 81" said he

The Flood at the West,

On the Sd instant the Mississippi, at St. Louis,
continued to fall slowly. The Missouri had fall
EN- about six feet, and the other streams in that
region were rapidly shrinking to their usual di-
mansions. The destruction Of life and property,
however, has been immense; Kaskaskia, the old
est town in the west, has been destroyd, and ma
ny smaller villages have met with the same fate.
The river in some places has been sixty miles in
width, and hundreds of pIaptations, through vast
extent of country, have been entirely inundated
aud every living and valuable thing in many in
stances, has been swept away, including frequent
ly, the people themselves. The loss for MissIs
sippi, Louisiana, and Arkansas, alone, is estmo
ted at $l2, 900 O00

Of the Locomotive and train which daily passed

up for the rencontre, made fearful DASH full tilt
with his horns al the engine. The conclusion threw
the whole train off the track on Sunday, delaying
