The UNCERTAINTY OF MERCANTILE
PURSUITS

From an article in Hunts Magazine we copy
the following interesting statements. They al
ford melancholy Illustration Of the hazards and
fluctuations of mercantile life.
"lt is asserted that but one eminent merchant
and his death is still recent and lameutedl has
ever continued iii active business in the civ of
New York, to the close Of a long life, without
undergoing bankruptcy, or suspension of pay
ments i'll some one OF the various crises throuoh
which the country has necessarily passed. |
have no means OF determining the truth of this
assertion, but it must have sorne foundation. and
think it would be difficult for either OF us to
add to the number.
1t is also asserted, by reliable authority, from
records kept during the periods OF twenty to Forty
years, hat OF every hundred persons W no com
mence business Ill Boston, ninety -five, at least
die poor that OF the same number, in N. York,
not two ultimately acquire wealth, after passing
through the intermediate process Of bankIruptcy
while, Ia Philadelphia, the proportion is still
smaller.
By the statistics of bankruptcy, as collected
under the uniform bankrupt law in 1871:
The number Of applicants for relief
under that law were 33.73o
The humber Of creditors returned 1.049 coz
The amount Of debts stated 440,934. 615
The valuation OF property surren-
dered 43. COZ. SOY
IL this valuation were correct, nearly ten cents
would have been paid on every dollar due; but
what was the fact
In the Southern district of New York, cent
was paid, en- an average, for each dollar due in
the northern district, 49, cents, being by far the
largest dividend. In Connecticut. the average
dividend was somewhat over half cent on each

blowing is necessary, and to avoid
bringing subsoil ola sterile qnaity TO
the surface, white disintegrating to a
great depth, the subsoil plow mus. be
used.
My surface plow may be used to
turn a furrow of any depth between
four and twenty inches. the depth of
action being regulated by the guide
wheel. We always use this plow at
one inch greater depth than the thick.
ness of surface soil; thus, if the surface
soil be fourteen inches deep, the plow
is set fifteen inches. One inch of the
subsoil is thus brought TO the surface at
each blowing, and, by the action of the
sun and atmosphere, is gradually con-
verted into loan.
The subsoil plow follows in the bot
tom of the furrow left by the surface
plow, and is usually set at not less than
seventeen inches; this plow is 30 con-
structed as to throw up nothing, but
merely to disintegrate the soil at this
great depth, replacing it where taken
from without mixing it with surface
soil. The advantages, beyond the ad.
mission of atmosphere, are that in dry
weather the roots can pass down be-
low the suns more immediate action and
obtain moisture; and in wet weather the
excess of moisture can pass down thro'
the subsoi cut. If the land is thus
kept free from excess Of moisture
it can never become cold or sour.-
After one thorough subsoil blowing, the
land can be worked for much less ex
pense, and is ready for use at an early
date in the spring.
My seeds being all planted by drill
harrow, and the rows of plants conse
quent!y equal distance from each other
they can be cultivated and weeded BY
a horse cultivator instead of using thu
slow and expensive hand-hoe.
r Should your correspondent thinl
proper to visit me, shall be happy t.
answer any any other question he may
wish 10 propose.
Yours, respectfully,
JAMES J. MAPES.

FATAL DUEL.-A duel was fought at
ten o'clock yesterday morning on the
Indiana shore, opposite Six Mile Island,
between John T. Gray, Esq, and Capt.
Henry c. Pope, of this city, which re-
suited in the death Of the latter gentle
man. The weapons used were shot
guns, loaded with bullets--distance
twenty PAGES. At the first fire Capt.
Pope fell MORALLY wounded, and died
in a very short time. Immediately af-
ter his fall, he requested permission TO
see Mr.. Gray, and mos, affecting re-
Cancellation took place, in which they
both expressed their deep regret at the
unfortunate occurrence. What a CON-
mentary upon the bloody code of honor!
Here were two highminded honorable
gentlemen, who had been friends from
childhood, forced by the bloody code TO
stand up and fire at one another, on &C.
count of trivial difficulty which should
have been readily adjusted. The &C
currence is 10 be deeply regretted for
the sake of all parties--the survivor as
well as the victim to false sense Of hon

upon every movement of that great
mind. 1t scorns all concealment and

lie has made its last claim upon life
devoted to its interests and its glory
and he assumes his duties as the lates
tribute which can be demanded by hi
country. In performance of those du
ties, no jealousy, no infrmity oftcmpe
will divert him from the direct path

able to claim him as partizan. TIL

boats. An iron boat has been built bv
the Messrs. Stevens, at Hoboken, for
the purpose of testing the experiment,
which will probably take place in few
days. The boat, which has been named
John Nelson, after an old resident of
New Brunswick, is $50 feet in length,
30 feet beam, and 81 feet across the
guards, with 0 feet depth of hold. She
has powerful engine, with a cylindar

are 80 feet in diameter, and IL feet

manner, to allow the application Of the
new priciPIe, having Aanges eightinches
In depth, running her whole length.
She is furnished with q separate engine,
working powerful force pump, which
drives air through pipes TO the tlanges
referred to, at the bow of the boat
The air, it is calculated, will dispace
the water along the inverted cutters
formed between these tlanges, and pass
ing along, find its way out at the stern.
The bow of the boat is sharp and we'll

a scow, and the guards extend over,
conccaling this deformity. The air
constantly passing beneath the hull will
increase her buoyancy, lessen the
draught Of water, and enable her to
glide along with less resistance than in
boats of the ordinary construction. She
is to run between New York and New
Brunswick, and is fitted up in the most
sumptuous style.--Philqdeiphia Ledger.
