rsy-7hc German FSstiouL-We noted the
fact the other day that the German Musical So
eicty of this city had gone to Cleveland with
the determination, if possible. of procuring the
next Musical Convention of the societies at
Wheeling. Last night Capt. Loring received
the following dispatch from Louis Gaus:
CLEVELAND, June 1G-Ncxt festival at Buff
falo, y Y Great excitement amongst our dele
CATION.
This of course was damper; but Capt Lor-
ing and other strenuous and energetic friends of
the project telegraphel back urging reconsid-
Grafton of the vote. Hopes were entertained
last night that such reconsideration would be
effected We understand that many of the lead
ing Germans composing the societies in other
cities have political prejudice against coming
south with their convention. They certainly
cannot object TO Wheeling on that score, while
talk is so rife, all over the country, about the
next Republican Convention coming here.
Let these musical men give US the Conven-
ton. We will treat them better than any other
city in the United States will.

:B"4 .Nysterious YiUtor.-A> Mr.. Taylor,
living on John street, was aroused from his
sleep, night before last, by,a noise in the lower
part Of lis house. Upon raising the upstairs
window he observed man jumping out of one
Of the lower windows, carrying sash and every
thing in his passage. The man seemed to have
nothing on his person but a long gown, which
was fastened closely about the neck. After
getting out of the house the mysterious person
was not in hurry to get away, but moved
lei4urely along, very unlike thief The win
dow by which the man had entered the house
was still open, and he could as easily have come
out nolsclessy instead of breaking open anoth-
er outlet in his descent. From this and other
reasons 1t is supposed the visitor was some in
sane person, or some enc performing SOM
nambuhstc feat, to which the people in that
vicinity are not accustomed.

HOLLAND WITHOUT UsURY LAws.-The
case of Holland furnishes striking proof of
the correctness of the theory Of free trade in
money The rate of interest has been for a
very long period, lower in Holland than any
where else in Europe, and yet it is the only
country in which usury laws have been totally
unknown, where capitalists are allowed to de-
mand and borrowers to pay any rate of inter
est Notwithstanding all the violent changes
of the government, and the extraordinary dis
turbance of her financial concerns since 1870,
the rate of interest in Holland has continued
comparatively steady. During the whole of
that period, persons who could offer unexcep-
tionable security, have been able to borrow at
from 2 to 81 per cent; nor has the average
rate of interest charged on capital, advanced
on the worst species of security, ever exceeded
6 or per cent, except when the government
was negotiating forced loan. But in Eng
land, where the law declared that not more
than 5 per cent. should be taken, the rate of
interest for money advanced on the best landed
security varied, from to I16 or IL per cent,
or about five times as much as in Holland.
