Three Per Cent Per Month. lance.
dOte Of Jas. G.. King.

From the New York Leader.
Mr.. King has horror of the three and
four per cent. month operations. On one
occasion merchant who was doing very
extensive business, and for whom Mr.. King
felt sincere friendship, came to him and
said:
"Mr King, keep four large bank &C
counts, and l have offered heavily the best
paper for discount. 1t is flung out as fast
as | offer it. l shall have to 60 on the street,
and do as the others do--get heavily shaved.
Money is worth now there per cent. per
month. 1 have got to pay it. I do not see
why 1 should not pay that to your house as
well as on the street. l know you object
to such transactions, but 1 cannot help my
self. l will bring down my portfolio" 1t
contains in Bills Receivable over 100000
of A No. business paper. You can take
your selection. l must have 100000 in
cash before another week."
"No business can stand such premium any
length of time. 1t will use up million ca
pital very speedily" said Mr.. King.
"Oh, not at all. My business will justify
my paying any rate of interest, however ex-
orbitant.
"Why discount for short time? Why
not make it for two or three years? I will
not discount your good business paper.
PAY your debts with it. will discount
your note for 100000, if you will make it
three years.
"T6ank you, Mr.. King. 1 will draw it
at once. 1t is very kind in you, but don't
you want collateral ?"
"No, sir. Mr.. Miller, turning to his
accountant,) take off the discount at three
per cent. month on 100000 for three
years, and draw check for the balance for
Mr.. ID. Wait moment, D., or give me
your note for 100000. The conversation
became general, both were seated, when
Mr.. Miller, the accountant, handed the fol-
lowing memorandum to Mr.. King:
Note of Mr.. D. for. 100000
Payable three years after date.
Discount at three per cent. a month IS
thirty six per cent. per year, and for
three years los per cent, or. 900. lOS,OOO
Balance due to Prime, Ward & King. $4,000
I'D. have you blank check with you ?"
pleasantly asked Mr.. King.
"a check? What for p
"Why Miller has handed me statement,
and | find that if we discount or shave your
note for three years for 100000 at three
per cent month, you will have to pay us
$4,000"
"Wby this is absurd. 1 give you my note
for 100000 and get no cash in return, but
have to give you $4,000 cash. BAIL"
"Be cool, D., and listen. l have done
this purposely to give you lesson, to show
you where your mercantile career will end,
if you submit to such extortion. Now if
you will pledge me your word of honor that
you will curtail your business and never pay
more than seven per cent. interest for money
to carry OF your trade, I will tell you what
l will dc. You want 100000. Draw
your note for that sum at ninety days, leave
with me 100000 of your best notes re-
ceivable, and will give you the money less
the ordinary discount of seven per cent"
Mr.. d. was grateful. He appreciated
the lesson taught by Mr.. King, aud he is at
the present moment one of the wealthiest
men in the city of New York

Terrible Tragedy-Two Men Murdered

TerT1Ol0 Vr6&e0y-VWO Men murdered
A terrible tragedy occurred on the 18th
instant, on board of the steamer B. L. Hodge
while on her way to New Orleans, and near
Shreveport, La, a man named B. L. HEATH
being the chief actor. His reasons for COM
hitting the atrocious deed are variously in
scribed to insanity, the i'll and morbid dis
position of deformed man who believes
himself Stunned by his fellow-men and,
lastly, to being crossed in love for beauti~
full woman, whom he has haunted for years,
and by whom he was peremptorily denied
and rebuked some two months ago.
While Mr.. Chas. M. Forb, of Robinson
County, Tenn, and Mr.. R. J. Lyle, of Nash
vile, were playing cards in the cabin about
midnight, Heath entered and seated himself
by them, who paid him no attention. In
few minutes he arose deliberately from his
seat and drawing large bowie-knife, seized
Forb by the hair of the head, and before the
Others of the party were aware of his inten-
tons, stabbed him to the heart, producing
almost instant death. Lyle Immediately
grasped the murderer by the arm, but freeing
himself by desperate effort, the latter
plunged the deadly weapon into the formers
neck, infictipg wound from the effects of
which he in a few moments expired.
Another gentleman, Mr.. F. G. Jernigan,
was also stabbed by the monster, but not
fatally, when bystander, Selling large
iron chair, dealt Heath blow on the head
which felled him senseless to the floor, and
before he had recovered, he was securely
bound and taken to New Orleans.
The murderer had upon his person at the
time of his arrest several other knives and a
revolver.
He is deformed creature, small in stature,
broken backed, and about twenty eight
years of age. He said he was native of
Weston, Lewis County, Virginia, and that
he had been teaching school at place called
Knoxville, in Cherokee County, Texas.
The reason given by him for committing the
deed was that they were the parties who
were seeking his life-although they never
met before.

In the early part of last winter, says the
Palmer (Mass.) Journal, party of wander
ing Indians pitched their tents near the
village of Enfield, and for several weeks
made and peddled baskets. Among them
was French girl, young and betwitching,
as all pretty French girls are apt to be.
She made the acquaintance of one Otis S.
Ward. a comparatively young man, who
could boast of large pair of whiskers, and
an afectionate wife and two children. He
kept the boarding house for the Minot Man.
ufacturing Company, and was considered
very respectable man. When the Indians
struck their tent and left the town, the
French girl went into the family of Ward
and assisted bis wife through the winter.
On the LIST of April she left town, Ward
taking her to the cars in Palmer. e..i.
A correspondence soon commenced be-
tween Ward and the girl, the, frequency of
which excited the suspicious of the Post
master. On the Sd instant Ward suddenly
left town, and on the same day letter came
for him from Cliftondale, in the town Of
Saugus. The letter remained in the Office
day or two, when the Postmaster received
a line from the French girl recalling the
letter she had sent to Ward, stating that she
had made great mistake, as she had learned
that Ward had left town. p The letter was
taken to Wards wife, who was overwhelmed
with grief on reading it. 1t revealed the
whole mystery of her husbands. absence,
and opened the flood.gates of village gossip.
The following is copy of the letter, ver-
batim: :.. ,,.....' ....

have gone to Canada. He left debts be-

dollars, which is poor consolation to the
injured wife and children.

CoNNEss's BIL.-We have examined the
bill of Mr. Conness, of Ell Dorada, for survey
ing and segregating the swamp and over
flowed lands of this State, and find that it
simply provides for complete survey and
thorough segregation of the lands. The ob-
ject of the bill is pretty well expires ed in
the title and, as the provisions of the bill
seem to cover the objects intended, and as
those objects ought to be secured we are in
clined to approve the bill, and see no objec-
tion to its passage. 1t is very necessary to
know what amount of land actually belongs
to us under the Act of 1850. The survey
contemplated by Mr.. Conness will include
considerable tracts which have been marked
by Federal Surveyors as Government land,
and offered for sale in the Federal Land OF.

she ought not to be cheated out of them, and
if she has been ly mistake deprived of them
by the General Government the latter should
make the loss good either in land or money.

million of acress out of the six millions be-
longing to California have been already in
