Fl. NJ. RICE, our Senator, writes from
Washington to member of the House, that
Minnesota Bonds cannot be sold at par if
they bear less interest than II per cent
per annum.
Mr.. H. A. NICoLLAY (bonds and stocks
auctioneer, New York;, writes that they can
not be sold at par if they bear less interest
than 10 FER cent. per annum.
These opinions are founded, too, upon the
impression that our issue of bonds is to be
limited to $25O,OOO!
The Railroad and $5,OOO,OOO men have a
letter also from the East (not from Wiscon-
sin y informing them that if the State will is
sue to them five millions of bonds, bearing
seven per cent. interest, they can sell them at
par.
Really this rich the more we owe, the
better the terms on which we can borrow.
Amidst these conflicts of opinion, more
light is certainly needed.

The Interest Safe IL the Principal is
LOatl

The Daily Times, We see, takes ground in
favor Of the Loan of $5,OOO,OOO. All right
such is its privilege,-let us have discus
sion. The advertiser, also, appears to be on
the same side, and attempts rather awkward
ly to reply to the Mianesotian on one or two
points. How lamely it does this, let the fol-
lowing extract exhibit
The first issue would be $4OO, O,00O-semi annual pay
ments of interest $14000-o this last amount the
State may sell, perempory, 100000 Of Railroad Land
Grant Bonds. Under circumstances could these be
depressed below the present selling rates Of La Crosse
railway grant bonds and the next number OF the MIN
neSotdn quotes them Sin demand" at fifty cents on
the dollar, adding, from the New York Herdf0, that
hese bonds going into the hands of the largest cap
aliss and sought for principally account OF the
nature of the security offered" Who can doubt that
our Minnesota railroad bonds would be equally availa-
bic to the State-far more so as We believe"
"Equaliy available !' That is, the Rail-
road Bonds might be sold for fifty cents on
the dollar to pay the interest,"! Pray, if this
is the way the State is to be Reimbursed for
the interest, what show is there ultimately for
the principal?

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THE
PAPERS4
BY N. p. WILLIS,

Why don't you take the papers?
They're the life Of my delight;
Except about election time,
And then read for spite.
Subscribe you cannot lose cent
Why should we be afraid?
For cash thus spent Is money lent
On interest four fold paid.
An old newspaper friend of mine,
While dying from cough,
Desired to hear the latest news,
While he was going off.
took the paper and read
VI some new pills in force;
He bought boN-and is he dead?
No-hearty as horse.
l knew printers debtor once,
Back'd with scorching fever,
Who swore to pay her debt next day,
III her distress would leave her.
Next day she was again at work,
Divested of her pain,
But did forget to pay the debt,
Till taken down again.
Here, Jessie, take these silver wheels
Go pay the printer now!"
She spoke, and slept, and then awoke
With health upon her brow.
knew two men as much alike
As e'er you saw two stumps,
And no Phrenologist could find
A difference in their bumps.
One took the papers, and his life
Is happier than kings,
His children all can read and write,
And talk of men and things.
The other took no paper, and
While strolling through the wood,
A tree fell down upon his crown,
And killed hiu, 'werry good"
Had he been reading of the news
AT home like neighbor Jim,
I'll bet a cent that accident
Would not have happened him.
Why don't you take the papers?
Nor from the printer sneak,
Because You borrow from his boy
paper every week.
For he who takes the papers,
And pays his bills when due,
Can live at peace with God and man;
And with the Printer too.

Atlantic telegraph.

AohlNIIoN, Jan. oV'
A letter from George Seward, Esq, Secre-
tary of the Atlantic Telegraph Company,
dated London, January 18th, says: Our ar
rangements here for the completion of the
work we have in hand are progressing salts
factorily, and trust and believe that our
next attempt will be crowned with success.
The machinery is being overhauled under the
direction of British and American engineers
and experiments will be carefully tried before
sailing next time with view to meet every
known and anticipated difficulty. The Brit
ish government has again granted us the
use Of ships, and the manufacture of new
cable to supply the place of that which WAS
lost, is going on satisfactorily. 1t is at pres
ent intended to take out $500 miles Of Ca
BILE, being 40 miles more than was thought
sufficient last time.

removed by Secretary THOMPSON. He is not
perfect, but better him than some funkev of
the Southern Secretary, who would obstruct
instead of forward the work on this northern
route to the Pacific. which Southern jealousy
would kef ''osed if it could.

So IT SHALL BE.-ssHistory is Philosopy
teaching by example," and in certain fact or
two of recent history there is food for solemn
reflection, which We commend TO the attention
of those Northern members of Congress who
purpose to vote for the acceptance of the Le-
compton Constitution. The bit of history we
refer to is this Of The THIRTEEN Northern mem
bers Of the Senate ,cho roted for the Kansas Ne
brasha Bill three years ago but FOUR noio hare
seals in that body. These four are Senator
Stuart of Michigan, Senator Jones of Iowa,
Senator Douglas of Illinois, and Senator
Thompson of New Jersey. The only reason
why the three first of these have not lost their
seats is simply because their terms have not
expired, and there has been no opportunity to
elect other men. Of the FoRTY-Two members
Of The Houee from The Northern STATES lrho roted
for his Bill, but THREE GRE members of the pres
ent House. These are j. Clancy Jones and
I. B. Florence of Pennsylvania, and w. A.
English of Indiana. Upon all the other thirty
nine, the waters of political oblivion have
