to perform the duties of their Office; for
since their perquisitrs have been taken from
them, the salaries under the old law will not
be sufficient to pay their indispensable clerk

A CRRDIToR "CANT Doc DEBTOR
A tailoring firm in New York hired an inn
pertinent boy to "dog the steps of delin-
quent customer, and to dun him for bill
wherever he could find him in the company
of other persons, for the purpose of sham
ing him into the payment Of the account
The debtor swore out peace arrant
against the boy and had him brought be-
fore the court The lawyer for the tailors
took the ground that creditor had a right
to dun whenever and wherever he pleased
The Court held to the contrary, saying that
on one refusal to pay, the creditor had his
legal remedy, and is not justified in annoy
ing debtor The lawyer said that Young
men should mot run up tailors bills they
could not pay; the Court said tailors ought
not to suffer such bills to be run up with
'out knowing the circumstances of the
debtor.

INsURING THE HONESTY OF CLERKs.-In
remarking on the frequent ENLIGHTENMENT by
+" fast clerks " in New York, the Post, OF
that city, says there is a corporate company
in London, whose business it is to guaran-
tee the integrity and flithfulness of clerks,
whom they recommend. The clerk pays
small premium for insurance of his own
honesty, and the company issues II bond to
secure the employer against loss. Under
this arrangement the company keeps a strict
watch upon the clerks private acts in the
same manner that an insurance inspector
looks after combustible material in the in
surance of property. By sthis means the
employer is relieved of the duty of tracing
the private habit and conduct of the en-
ployee, leaving it to the party who is, no
doubt, more thorough in his supervision. II
seems to rs that similar system should be
introduced here TO the benefit of both the
employer and the employee.

VEsUvIUs.-The editor of the New York
Express, writing from Naples to his paper,
furnishes the following description of Ye-
suvius:

an idea of the spectacle now presented at

almost to your feet. He who has been on
the nter de gLaee, the sea of ice, in Alpine
Switzerland, can have good idea of the spec

imagine that ice to be fire in motion, and

R9E The editor of the Louisville journal
gets off the following hits at the President
-. B."
Fairbanks, the patentee of the plat
form scale, has received an order for one of
the largest size, upon which one of the
riders of Democracy and its pet in the
Charleston sweepstakes are to be weighed
The knowing ones think old Buck played
false at the Cincinnati races and iockeyed
Douglas off the track by pretending to carry
more weight than was actually the fact.
Senator Simmons, the other day, speak
ing of the Presidents recommendation of
specific duties, said the utterance of that
one honest sentiment had so metamorphosed
him that nobody knew him, and like Ac-
teon he was " set upon by his own hounds
The simile is anachronistic, for the old Buck
went to the dogs long ago.

From INDIA.-A correspondent of the
London Times gives in few graphic words,
the results of the Indian campaign:
Twenty months ago we were assailed, I'M
prepared, by an army of hundred thousand
men, thoroughly acclimatized, possessed of
ample magazines, of an almost incredible
amount OF artillery, of every great city ex-
cept two. We have fought necessarily for
twenty months, through seasons of unprc-
cedented severity. We have ,lost all our
native army and 40, 600 Europeans, and in
the twentieth month of the struggle we have
regained every province, have re-established
every station, have beaten every army, are
in full pursuit of every fragment, have re-
created telegraphic communication, have
new steamers on every river, and have re
cruited a new army of lao, 900 natives, and
have around the standards European force
four times as strong as the army which orr
ginally faced the revolt, twice as strong as
the army which has persisted on the field and
in the hospital.
There may be some little Boosting in all
this, remarks the New York Express, but
the naked facts speak powerfully for the
force, efficiency and capability ofthe British
Government in India.

b@ An exchange makes the following
remarks in reference to the late Washington
tragedy;
The tragedy in Washington has been in
all voices for week. Beyond all the other
features of this case is that terrible truth,
that where man of fine intellect partici-
pates in such a scene otis the survivor
dies" 1t must be so-dismissed such scenes
cannot be-the red ray will be in all the
light of the future. An engineer on one of
our railways, had without fault of his own,
run the tremendous power under his control
over a human being. The body was re-
moved from the rail, death had done his
dread work examination was made of the
circumstances, aud the engineer acquitted,
the homicide was not in him. Yet, little
while afterward, that engineer came to the
Superintendent and asked to resign his
place, he could not endure it any longer.
Why do you go? said the Superintend-
ent-no one blames you.
