lowing:
" Gen Cass having to-day been accosted at the Ma

stanty checked him, by assuring him that the Republic
of the United States had been remarkably grateful to
him. &c L crossed the Alleghenes on foot" said

and from that humble position have been exalted by
the gratitude Of the Republic into every station OF honor

A METHOD OF coMPg1 NC INTEREsT.-a conespon.
dent of the Baltimore Sun communicates the following
simple plan for computing interest at per cent per
annum for any number of days, which he learned twelve
years ago.
"Divide the number Of days by 6, and multiply the
mails; cut off the rght-hand figure, and you have it in
dollars and cents. Thus: what is the interest SO0
for 81 days! Twentyone divided by is 81; 100 multi
piled by 81 is $50 or 50 cents. Again: what is the in
terest on 1878 for 90 days; Ninety three divided by
is ISL 37S multiplied by 154 is $685., or So 50 $40.

is no humbug"
