GILL CALL AROUND AND PAY."-What a
world of woe is contained in these few
words to the poor artizan and mechanic |!
I'll call around and pay says the rich
man, to avoid the trouble of going to his
desk to get the necessary funds, and the
poor mechanic is obliged TO 60 home to dis
appoint bis workmcn and all who depend
upon him for their due 1t is an easy mat
ter to work; the only real glory in this
life is an independent idea Of being
able to sustain yourself by the labor Of
your own hands, and it may be easily i'm.
agined what crushing force there is in "I'll
call round and pay" to the laboring man,
who depends upon that pay for subsistence.
If those who could pay would only pay at
once, it would place hundreds and thousands
i'll condition to do Likewise, and would
prevent much misery and distress.

CONDITION OF WALKERS ARMY. of
Walkers men. who recently deserted and
arrived at San Francisco, tells pitable
story. lie says
"Thcre We're about 100 persons in the
hospital when good fortune allowed me to
get away. The very recollection of that
horrible time is enough to sicken me, how
ever incapable am Of giving full descrp.
ton of its horrors. Mary of the soldiers
are ready TO die before entering it, and ma.
ny sick ones report themselves fit for duty
rather than 60 there. Walker has now no
natives in his army. Many Of his. troops
have deserted and gone over to the ChamorsssS; =;
rista party. His officers are generaHys
drunk. He himself is hardly ever seen. It !,
will be necessary for him to do hard fight
ing to get food, and the only way in which
he gets provisions now, if not by fighting,
is by taking it from the natives and COM
pelIing them to take cocoa, of which there
is plenty in the country. in return. -.
"No person is allowed to go from place
to place without passport. No person,
either citizen or soldier, is allowed to leaye
Granada without one; and if a soldier. IS
caught endeavoring to do so, he is taken as
a deserter and shot. Such is his inevitable
fate. If person escapes Walker, lie runs !.

S!xGurAE AND USEFUL FACT CONNECTED
WITH TIE FIGURES 25 AND 15.-It may not
be generally known that any sum can be
multiplied. by 25 by simply adding two
ciphers to the muItiplicand. or sum to be
multiplied, and then by dividing 10y f.
Take. for example, GS and multiply it by
:25: two ciphcrs being added make GSO0,
which sum being divided by 4 gives the
quolirnt, or answer, 1900 The reason why
the amount is thus obtained is as follows :
two ciphers being added to 6S have exactly
the same effect on that sum as if it were
multiplied by 100, and that sum multiplied,
being divided by i gives the fourth part, or
amount due to % Any sum may also be
multiplied by IS by the same rule, in the
following lnanner:-To the sum to be mul-
tplicd, say Cs, add two ciphers, which make
GS0O: divide By T. which gives 100; di.
vide by 4, which gives 100, or leurth part,
and the 100, or fourth part, being sub.
stractcd from the aforesaid $500, leaves tho
remaining ,hrce-fourths. or amount due
