A New DODGE IN FINANcE.-The Washington
States describes novel way of raising funds.
which is carried on in that aud other cities. 1t
says.
1t seems that firm in New York advertise
that they have money to loan. On application
being made, the borrower is required to ad-
vance one per cent, on the amount he desires,
pending the consideration of his application.
II it is rejected, Que half Of the amount of one
per cent of the sum desired is returned to him.
and the remaining half goes to the firm, for the
trouble" they have been placed at in consid-
ering bis application.
Under the supposition that all applications
are rejected. quite handsome amount on the
per ceutage must result to the pretended lend-
era. The firm is located in New York, and an
agency now exists somewhere in this city.
Some one of the applicants who has his appl-
cation numbered as rejected 1900" has report
ed the matter to the New York police authori-
ties. However, it may be questioned whether
there are any false pretences about this, in view
of the fact that the applicant, before investing
bis money, understands the terms of the bar
gain.

A WONDERFUL CAVE IN INDIANA.-Dr. D. L..
Talbot, in the Fort Wayne Times, says: "Wy-

markable in the world. is in Crawford County.
Indiana, about twenty five miles below New
Albany, on Blue River. The Mammoth Cave
or Kentucky has hitherto been designated az
the greatest known cave in the world. 1t may
siartle your scientific readers to hear me assert
the fact, that there is Que staagmite alone in
Wyandotte Cave more massive than all the
stalagmites and stalactites in the Mammoth
Cave put together. This cave have surveyed
q distance OF twenty miles in length, and there
are numerous avenues have never penetrated
to their end, although have visited the cave
for scientific purposes, over dozen different
umes-spending on one visit four days and
nights within its darksome halls. The Nam
moth Cave is distinguished more for its beauty;
the Wyandotte for its great extent, it's nam
moth hall, its lofty ceilings. reaching frequent.

The EVIL of the Age.

There is something in the loneliness of a
great city which wears upon brain and body
with more oppressive influence than the soli-
tude of forest or prairie. In the primitive haunts
Of nature, the contemplation of her works af-
fords never failing source Of pleasure, and
begets sense Of freedom which s utterly un-
known to the plodders in the dull routine Of
metropolitan life ; but in the town the stranger
is weighed down by sense of loneliness, all
the more acule from the fact that be hourly
feels the throbbing pulse of life around him, OBJ
serves its workings in the busy thoroughfares
and hears its careless echoes, while laboring un-
der the painful consciousness that be is but
unit in the swarming mass Of humanity that
claims and yet denies common kinship with him.
Under the workings of our present and social
system, homes, as our progenitors knew them,
are almost unknown. No one thinks of toiling
with cheerfulness for comfortable subsistence;
the possessor of trade or pursuit which yields
him merely the necessaries of existence, occu.
pies no "position" in life All income which
will not only keep Is possessors in luxury, but
enable them to make some show in the eyes of
their neighbors has become a necessity, and
character only secondary accessory in deter
mining the merits Of individuals. To such an
extent is the rage for display now carried that
we cannot conduct our worship unless In
churches of almost palatal magnifcence. with
in whose walls the stranger, dazzled by the
snowy attire, and repelled by the chilling looks
Of the congregation, feels even more lonesome
than In the solitudes of his chamber. No won
der that those who take the lead in the worlds
affairs are the most corrupt, and that the vir-
tues are only practieed 10 the walls of the poor
aud owiy, Nding themselves from the light as
II they were crimes.

INCIDENT OF THE WAR.--The Moniteur says
"The Emperor having heard that there was l:v-
ing at Alessandria an old soldier named Fleu-
ret, eighty years of age, and who had received
three wounds on the 26th Brumair, and five at
the battle of Arcole, dashing forward among
the first on the bridge. sent on the 22d for the
veteran to headquarters, before his majesty at
tended mass; the old man on being introduced
to the Emperor recounted with animation the
part he had taken in that battle and when he
bad finished his recital his majesty gave him
with his own hand the cross of the Legion of
Honor. In receiving this recompense, which
exceeded all his wishes. the soldier of Arcole
burst into tears, and could only express his
gratitude by few broken words which howev-
er, were more eloquent than long address.

That buried images are to he found there in
large quantities cannot be doubted that the
mines originally producing the gold, are near,
is probable. That the climate will, even in dry
season. be bad for foreigners to labor in is pret-
~ sure while the fact is Ito my mind) estab-
lished, that now, while the rain lasts. nothing
can be made there. unless it be to find good
locality and get comfortably fixed, so that the
dry season may be better improved. This last
is what the men are doing that left a month
since. Should reports reach you that sll are
getting rich, you can dispel them, the facts will
not warrant the report.

GEN. HOUsToN.- Washington correspond
snt of the Philadelphia Press writes:
"The Administration Democrats Of Texas

larly nominated, and ran upon the platform Of
Buchanan, aud yet, in the Constitution" OF

ARIZONA NOT YET READY.-Government re-
ports are cad snnihilators of the speculative
and romantic. The reliable daily press have
published so many glowing accounts of the
growth and progress of Arizona, representing
it as overaowng with population and produce
that we had pictured il to our minds as land
thickly dotted with rising tOwne aud settleme is
when out comes the ''oficiaP' report of Col.
Bonneville, aud down goes our Arizoua stock
accordingly. The Colonel recently took the
census of the American population west of the
Mesilla valley, and, by including overland mail
stations, made out total of one hundred aud
eighty. And yet it was in the face of this fact
that convention" was lately held at La Me-
slla, to nominate delegate to Congress, to OBJ.
tain for Arizona Territorial government.
The "towns," with several exceptions, are lit

is not yet ready.
