What are Consols?

Our readers are we'll aware that the rise
or fall of "consols" is noted as the most i'm
portant SIGN of the condition of commerc al
affairs in England. But few know what
consoIs are.-From very lengthy explana-
ton relative to consols, or the consolidated
debt of Great Britain, we CLEAN some inter
estng information.
The national debt of England began in the
time of Charles l, with The REIMBURSEMENT OF
the old custom of extorting from the people,
and substituting borrowing therefor to meet
the public exigences. This has been in
creased from that time to the present in all
times OF exigency. In periods of peace, and
when the rate of interest has been low, the
Government has redeemed small portions of
the debt, or it has lowered the annual charge
by reducing, with the consent of the holders
the rate of interest
The debt, then consists Of several species
of loans or funds, with different denomina-
tons, which have been in process OF time,
variously mixed and mingled, such as Con-
soils. e., several different loans consolida-
ted in one stock-Three per cents, Reduced
Consols, New Three per cents, DC.
In 1917 the English and Irish Excheqners
were consolidated debt. The present debt
cannot be less than four thousa Il two hun
dred millions of dollars, much of which is
consols, bearing interest at three per cent.
The ordinary price Of three per cents, is 95,
because people investing at such low rates
will not pay par when money is worth a
higher per ceatage. The report of recent
arrival was tha: consyls had fallen to 80 and
80. This is equal to two years interest on
four thousand millions of dollars. II holders
we're obliged to sell them, the aggregate loss
would be $4,000, 900. In such cases, on
" those who have money engagements, and
must sell out TO meet them, are losers.

RuFUs CnoArE AND MONEY MATTERS
following extract from Parker's Reminiscent
res of Rufus Choate exhibits one of his prom
inent traits, in which he was not unlike Mr..
Webster:
81 never remember seeing him collect any
money, or make any charges in any books.
Indeed, never saw any account books in his
office. He never seemed to have any money.
II he wanted any he would get me to draw a
check for him, even for five dollars, and he
signed it. If he drew the check himself, he
made sad work of il. It used to be said
round the entry that when he had to go to
Washington to argue cases. or to Congress,
he often was obliged to find some one with
money to lend him to 60 on with. Unlike
some Others of the fraternity of great men,
however, he very often paid what he borrow
ed. His accounts of who owed him, and how
much, he must have carried chiefly in his
head He very often, however, made sud-
den foray and raid upon his clients, as he
happened to recolect them, if he found him
self unexpectedly in want of money. And
woe be to any unfortunate man then who
had heavy case actually on trial. He had
to pay for all the sins of omission of his pro-
decessor clients for many months"

THE DAY IS GONE.
BY HENRY w. LONGFELLOw.

BY HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.
The day isdone, and the darkness
Falls from the wings of Night,
AS feather is waited downward
From an eagle in its flight
l see the lights of the village
Clean through the rain and the mist,
And q feeling of sadness comes DER me,
That my soul cannot resist
A feeling of sadness and longing,
That is not akin to pain
But resembles sorrow only
AS the mist resembles the rain.
Come, read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall smoothe this restless feeling,
And Danish the thoughts of day.
Not from the Grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors of Time
For, like strains of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
Life's endless toll and endeavor;
And tonight long for rest.
Read from some humber poet.
Whose songs gushed from his heart,
As showers from the clouds of summer,
Or tears from the eyelids start.
Who, through long days of labor,
And nights devoid Of case,
Still heard in his soul the music
OF Wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem of thy choice,
And lend to the rhyme of the poet
The beauty of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music,
And the cares that infest the day,
Shall fold their tents like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.

DOMESTIC NEED.-The following good sens

DOMESTIC NEED.-The following good sense
is from the San Joaquin Republican:
We need for our dwellings more ventila-
tion and less heat; we need more out door
exercise more sunlight, more manly, athletic
and rude sports; we need more amuse'nents,
more holidays, more frolic, and noisy, bois-
ferrous mirth Our infants need better nour-
ishment than coorless mothers can ever fur
nish; our children need more romping and
less study; our old men more quiet, and ear
ly relaxation from the labors of life. All
men, both young and old, need less medicine
and more good counsel

Damascus.

Damascus is the oldest city in the world.
Tyre and Sdon have crulnbled on the shore;
Baalbec is ruin; Palmyra buried on the
sands of the desert; Nineveh and Babylon
have disappeared from the Tgris and Eu-
pirates; Damascus remains what it was be-
fore the days of Abraham centre Of trade
and travel-an island of verdure in desert
"a predestinated capital with martial and
sacred associations extending through more
than thirty centuries. 1t was near Damas-
Gus that Saul of Tarsus saw the light from
heaven above the brightness of the sum- the
street which is called Strait, in which it was
said he prayeth,' still runs through the city.
The caravan comes and goes as it did thou
sand years ago; there are still the sheik,
the ass, and the Water. wheel, the merchants
of the Euphrates and of the Mediterranean
still occupy these with the multitude Of their
waters. The city which Mahomet surveyed
from neighboring height, and was afraid to
enter, because it is given to man to have
but one paradise, and for his part, he resolv
ell not to have it in this world is to this day
what Julian called the eye of the East as
it was in the time of Isaiah, the head of
Syria From Damascus came damson, our
blue plum, and the delicious apricot of Por-
tugal, called damaso; damask, our beautiful
cotton and silk, with vines and flowers rais-
ed upon smooth, bright ground the damask
rose introduced into England in the time Of
Henry VIII; the damask blade so famous
the world over for its keen edge and elastici

when Tamerlane carried off the artists into
Persia; and the beautiful art of inlaying
wood and steel with silver and gold, kind
of Mosaic, engraving and sculpture united,
called Damaskeening which boxes.
bureaus, swords and guns are ornamented.
1t is still a city Of flowers and bright waters;
the streams from Lebanon, the rivers of
Damascus the rivers of gold still murmur
and sparkle in the wilderness of Syrian gar
dens'
The Placer herald., 1860-02-04

EXCESSIVE CLEANLINEss.-Even cleanli-
ness can be exaggerated, as in the case Of the
Pharisees, and the late Duke of Queensberry
who would wash in nothing but milk. Our
own Queen uses distilled water only for her
toilet; but this is not case in point, since it
is for the sake of health, believe with her.
A sad case however, was that Of the lovely
Princess Alexandria of Bavaria, who died
mad from over cleanliness. II began by
extreme scrupulousness. AT dinner she
would minutely examine her plate, and it she
saw the slightest speck on it, would send for
another. She would turn the napkin round
and round to examine every corner, and Of
ten rise from the table because she thought
she was not served properly in this respect.
At last it became monomana, till on
plates, napkins dishes, tabecloths and every
thing else she believed she saw nothing but
dirt. 1t weighed on her mind, poor things
she could not be clean enough, and it drove
her to insanity.

DEMOCRATIC VIcroRy IN MANCHESTER
In Manchester, New Hampshire, E. w. Ilar
rington, Democrat, was elected Mayor on
Dec 18th by thirty majority. This city has
hitherto been Republican by from three to
five hundred majority.
This is the town in which the bells were
tolled in honor of John Browns execution
The result of this election, is rebuke to that
kind of fanaticism.
PREDIcrIoN VERlFIED.-A correspondent
of the New Haven Register says that when
Brown was at Wolcottvile, in that State, he
volunteered the remark that "any man who
defended the Administration and Democracy
in Kansas, ought to be hung" A Democrat
present remarked such are your real
sentiments, prophecy you will be hung in
less than ten years"
