that business seemed to be getting better,
for he had collected several old bills late.
ly, and; some Of his delinquent customers
wcrc coming back aud making new pur-
chases in cash. Mr.. Hunks found an oc.
casion to pay out the same bills again,
either on some smsll debt or 1 new pur-
chass--and very singu]arly they seemed TO
come back again to himvfrom some dsliu-
quent'who had heretofore paid him in ex-
cuses:; One Of the little circle Of custom
ers remarked to him that times were get
ting easier, and he "guessed the reason
was that the hanks had been making q

Der Of new bills on Matteson's bank ap-

J., Mr.. Hunks suspected what bank had
made the discount, and times really began
to be better with him. He was no longer
pestered with small duus. sol!!e collected
his own dues more readily, and for some
time it was the amusement of Mr.. Hunks
to see how long he could trace Eve dollar
bill which he had paid out from the hoard
cd pile, and whose number had become as
familiar to his mind as the letters of the
alphabet. So he thought he had discov-
cred the secret Of the bard times, and also
the cure. It consisted in everybody doing
the best they could in paying of their
debts, and working at something, if the pay
was sure and prompt, though small, while
the real life Of business was in live money.

A British Captain Tarred and
Feathered in Savannah, ,

We published a day or two since, TEL
egraFh statement that an English Captain
had been tarnedi and feathered by a mob
in Savannah. We learn through gentle
man just arrived from that place, the par.
! ticulars of the outrage. =; ~.
It appears that the Captain bad employ
cd a, free negro stevedorc to load his yes
Escl. BE was very anxious to push tho
work, and for this purpose encouraged the
|stevedore to unusual efforts by various
little acts Of kindness, which he consider
ed calculated to aid him in the accomplish
ment of his purpose: Among other things,
he invited him to take his dinner on ship
board. ,Theinyitation was accepted. This
annoyed the mate, who communicated to
some Of his acquaintances on shore, with
establishment, what the Captain had done.
It required no great effort to raise the
cry Of "Abolitionist" against the Captain,
nor to induce gang Of drunken rascals
to resolve upon his summary punishment.
The plan adopted was carried out A mob
proceeded to the vessel during the night
of Friday week last, seized the Captain,
dragged him from his vessel, and clothed
him with coat oc tar and feathers. The
next day the Captain communicated with
the British Consul, who at, once offered .
reward Of $1,000 for the apprehension Of
those guilty of the outrage
Serious results are likely to grow out Of
this act. Our own government may pay
no attention to similar outrages upon Dur
own citizens, but Great Britain is moro
sensitive.-Albany Erening Journal. :.

4 CURE FOR HARD TIMES:

MIR. Hunks is a Wabash avenue man.
The dwellers on this round of. high life,
are one story lower in the aristoeratic scale
than those on Michigan avenue. But,
nevertheless, Mr.. Hunks is a man of good
standing. He is one of the first members
Of society, ss, well IS one of the first set
tiers, and is a man Of means. His credit
is good at the banks. lie has always had
a deposit with Geo Smith, or with Il. x.
Swift, since the early times in Chicago
banking, when Smiths Marine and Fire
Insurance Certificate formed the best, not
to say the only currency of the country
Hunks credit was good with the banks,
because he was known to have good prop
erty unincumbefed, "kept an account with
them, and borrowed seldom. (Somehow
or other, under the peculiar state of West
ern finances, the best bank customers are
considered those WIN keep the largest ac-
counts and borrow the teast.) For some
reason, Hunks credit outside was none of
the best. he was reported "poor pay :"
good in the end, but 7'slow. The men
Of business. all trusted him-reluctantly,
did not refuse then followed him urgent
ly for pay on shorter time than they gave
to worse men. Hunks was thus forced,
against his will and sober. Judgment, to be
somewhat Of fast man. His laborers
gave him d very bad name "iIe never
pays any body" they would say yet iu
the, end, the truth known, Mr.: Hunks owed
nobodr, so to speak. He seldom borrowed
Of the banks, where bis credit. was good /;
always paid his tradesmen after severe
dunuing, even at shorter time than the &C.
customed credit and his '"help''' were al
ways paid after the tenth (and 80 on) ap-
Eplication, made daily at The; basement door.
This was a way he had Few, indeed,
could say that Hunks owed them, though
one might think, from what was heard,
that he was indebted to half the town.
He was very reluctant to- part with cash
in hand, aud, bssides,lit was always 50
handy to have q snug little sum on deposit
in case Of emergency. What constituted
an emergency in bis estimation, if the con.
tinpal pressure did not, has never tran,
spired. ''>'',"A ''..'@'.', . af1 >7@f f.;
But Mr.. Hunks, though slow man,
became subjecton the panic. The trans
actions in the money market in Chicago,
in the fall Of 1857, will long be remember
ed: The "going up" and coming down.
Of many houses Of good standing, Ii bank.
ing and other business, were part not the
least important; i'd those "tia;nsactions."

The London Ne,os, in an article upon
American affairs, contends that the perils
which now surround. our national govern
ment, do not arise from the application of
democratic principles, but from the absence
of those principles in the seeding States.
The editvr insists that the Southern States
are not and never were 8emocracies in
any sense of the term. Those States were
founded with oligarchic care ard ol' garchio
aim upon an oligarchic model. Ali power
md privilege was concentrated in. tho
planter caste; and servile multitude was
provided BY regal and aristocratic policy,
BY whose unrequited toll the governing
few were to subsist. IF permanent sew

The field cultivation of this vegetable
excites attention near large cities, and
favorable reports have been given in
regard to the profit of the crop. The
cabbage makes an excellent food for
domestic animals, and the quantity
which may be grown per acre is really
astonishing. Some care must be OBJ
served, however, in feeding them to

Ashes for Cabbages.

No manure that can be applied to the
cabbage is more salutary in its effects
than wood ashes. The worm which so
frequently and fatally infests the roots
of this vegetable, is often expelled by
liberal and frequented applications of
this article. If common salt be mixed
with it-say four quarts of salt to one
bushel of ashes-and small quantity
of urine or wash from the barn yard,
be sprinkled frequently verand around
the plants, the growth of the crop will
be greatly promoted by it.
The cabbage is most excellent pro-
duct, but-many find it difficult to cult
vate, as often losing crop as gaining
one. On new, strong lands, or lands
which have been depastured for many
years, it generally succeeds, and makes
a much better crop than on old lands
even with the aid of the best manure
Cabbages require frequent hoeing
The operation should be performed
either in the morning or evening, and
if the plants are infested with vermin,
sprinkle the leaves with ashes while the
dew is on them; if there is no dew
sprinkle them with diluted urine oil
weak soapsuds. This will cause the
ashes to adhere to the leaves, and fur
nlsh some protection at least, agains
all attacks. The heads may remain
out till snow tall, and the small, imper
fectly developed ones either fed to The
cattle, or, if more valuable fer the mar
ket, set out in moist earth, so far apart
as not to touch each other. What are
wanted for family use may be perfectly
