WAR NEws.-The 4th of July passed

War NEws.-The 4th of July passed
off very quietly, without any celebration
of consequence, except a free fight be.
tween a party of Irish railroaders, num-
bering from five to obout q dozen at diff
fcrent stages of the fight, and an Eng
lishman, who works in WRITINGS Found
~. The first round occurred on Main
street, the Englishman being pitted
against five Irish. The knocking was
brisk and rather interesting for those who
have a taste for the barbarous. On this
round the Englishman was cham pion,
having Knocked down and laid put three
of the five who were engaged in the con-
test, without receiving a scratch. But
the Irish brought in a reserve corps and
renewed the contest ABOUT twenty minutes
after. and by superior numbers COMPEL
ed their opponent to retreat on double
quick for his life. The moving was mag
niicent. Time good. john Bulls
wind not proving as good as PADDY's,
he was overtaken, and before assistance
could be rendered be was rather roughly
handled.
Towards the last, the knocking was
general, the Irish suffering the most, but
claiming a victory in the end. Fighting
whiskey is supposed to have been the
cause of the dificu ty, by some. We at
tribute it entirely 10 the patriotism of the
gentlemen engaged.

FAIRBANKS soALrs.-About tbir

FAIRBANKS ScALEs-About thirty
Eve years ago, the Messrs. Fairbanks
invented and began making platform
Scales, which effected a complete change
in the manner of doing such business as
requires weighing. and without which it
would be impossible to do the present i'm
mense amount CT business in the country.
Since then they have given their constant
personal attention to the business, making
all such improvements and adding such
notifications as their experience has
shown to be desirable. During this time
many other kinds of scales have been in
vented, and more or less tried by the pub
lie, and mainly thrown aside, while the
business of the Messrs. Fairbanks has
steadily increased from year to year, their
scales now standing higher in public es-
timatien, and their scales being ve-y much
larger than eyer before. This shows
very strongly the excellence and durabili

Z. 5. 1910 BONDS.

IHNHESE Bonds are issued un der the Act OF
Congress of March 9Th, 1864, which pro-
vides that all bonds issued under this Act shall
be EXEMPT FROM TAXATION by or under
any state or municipal authority. Subscrip-
tons to these Bonds are received in United
States notes or notes of National Banks. They
are TO BE REDEEMED IN COIN, at the
pleasure of the Government, at any period not
ess tian ten nor more than forty gears from
their date, and until their redemption FIVE
PER CENT. INTEREST. WILL BE RAID II
COIN, on Bonds of not over one hunred dol
lars annually and on all other Bonds semi
annually. The interest is payable on the frss
days of March and September in each year.
Subscribers will receive either Registered
or Coupon Bonds, as they may prefer. Reg
istered Bonds are recorded on the books OF
the U. S.. Treasurer, and can be transferred
only on the owners order. Coupon Bonds
are payable to bearer, and are more -conve-
nient for comm ercial uses.
s Subscribers to this lean will have the OPP
ton of having their Bonds draw interest from
March 1st, by paying the accrued interest in
eoin-{or in United States notes, or the notes
of National Banks, adding fifty per cent. for
premium,) or ~receive them drawing interest
from date of subscription and deposit. AZ
these Bonds are
Exempt from Municipal or State
Taxation,
their value is increased from one to three per
cent. per annum, according to the rate of tax
levies in various parts of the country.
At the present rate of prem UNI on gcldthey

Over Eight Per Cent. Interest

in currency and are of equal convenien co as
a permanent or temporary investment. ~
1t is believed that no securities ofor so
great inducements to lenders as the various
descriptions of q. S.. Bonds. In oil other
forms of Indebtedness, the faith or ability of
private parties or stock companies or separate
communities only is pledged for payment.
while for the debts of the United States The
country is holden to secure the payment of
both principal and interest in coin.
These Bonds may be subscribed for in SUNG
from $50 up to any magnitude, on the Same
terms, and are thus made equally available 10
the smallest lender and the largest capitalist.
They can be converted into money at any mo-
ment. and the holder will have the benefit Of
the interest. ~
1t may be useful 20 state in this connection
that the total Funded Debt of the Unitel
on which interest is payable in Gold, on the
Sd day of March, 1864, was $768, 965, 0o0.-
The interest on this debt for the coming fiscal
year will be S45, 937, 126, while the customs
revenue in gold for the current fiscal year,
ending June Both. 1864, has been so far at
the rate of over $1,000 ,O0o, 900 per annum.
It will be seen that even the present gold
revenues of the Government are largely Ia ex-
cess of the wants Of The Treasury for the pay
ment of gold interest, while the recent in-
crease Of the tariff will doubtless raise the an
nual receipts from customs on the same amount
of impor.ations, to $3.50 ,0o0. 600 per annum.
Instructions to the National Banks acting
as loan agents were not issued from the UNI
ted States Treasury until March %, but in
the first three weeks of April the subscriptions
avera ged more than TEN MILLIONS a week.
Subscriptions will be received by the
