The United States Can Garry a Bigger
War Debt than England.

How England carried her war debt of
1916, and how she grew rich under its
burdena, and richer and richer, til she is
richest country in the Old World, all men
know. That debt, inscribed In her Exohe-
quer Books, was nominally f9l6, 100000.
The New World has forgotten that, in the
twenty-five years Of her war with France,
England expended upon her armies. her
navy and continental subsidies ,$5, All ,00o,-
600, derived from taxation. Her war debt
should, Of course, be charged with this
amount, and then it would have stood the
stupendous column in national finance Of
Sc, ,3S7 900, ,O00-more than three times as
vast as our own war debt just at the end
Of the rebellion. -
In 1916. one year after the peace treaty
of Paris, when the British debt had attain
ed its maximum, the population of Great
Britain was l9,00o,000. In 1864, the
population Of the loyal States Of America
was 25,000,000. In 1864 the value of the
property of Great Britain was estimated at
$10, ,45O. 600, 900. The property of the
loyal States IN that year was estimated at
$13, ,395,ooo,o0o. That years products in
Great Britain amounted to $l ,667 600, 600.
Those OF the loyal States for the same year
were $3, 500, 600, 900. This comparison
gives US Americans the advantage over our
pushing cousins Of England of 40 per cent.
IN population, % per cent. in property, and
ITO per cent. in annual products. "Good
as British consols," Ell ? That financial
figure of speech is coming to be modified
somewhat. The world will by -and-by say
"As good as United States bonds"
Another satisfactory little contrast. The
British Ministry was obliged to resort i'm
rnensely to compulsory contributions from
the people of Great Britain to carry on the
struggle against the French. Sixty three
per cent. OF their war expenditure was de-
rived from taxation, Regard the voluntary
contributions of.the Americans to their
war ror democracy suu iSepuonoanism.--
Here, within few days Of the fifth year ol

have been but election riots, see how the

HOW TO WIN LOVE.

If you wish 10 be woman;s lover, her
hero, her ideal, her delight, her utter rest

and begin TO write. No. sir. You may
make shoes, you may run engines, you may
carry Goals you may blow the huntsman's s
horn, and hurl the base ball, follow the
plow, smite the anvil your face might be
brown, your veins knotied, your hands
grimed, and yet you may be hero. And,
on the other hand, you may write verses
and be clown. 1t is not necessary 10 feed
on ambrosia in order 10 become divine; nor

THE SULTANA DISASTER.

A letter in the Tribune from Memphis
Tenn, dated May 18th, says:
Over two weeks have elapsed since the
unprecedented Sultana disaster, yet nearly
every boat from below brings additional
accounts Of bodies found and buried. Pas
sengers by the Olive Branch report the
bodies Of three soldiers found floating in the
eddy at the mouth of Big Black River,
which is 40 miles below Vicksburg, and
500 below the scene OF the explosion.
Yesterday, the body of woman was dis
covered lodged in drift pile, 20 miles be-
low the city, by the picket.boat. She had
probably spraDg into the river in panic as
she had on only night dress, Being in
an unacceptable condition, she was
buried by the marines. Twas present this
morning on the St. Louis packet wharf
boat, at the making out Of an estimate Of
number Of lives lost. The data from which
tho estimate was derived are as nearly cor
rect as can ever be procured, and the re.
suit shows that no less than 1869 human
beings perished. / can think of no marine
disaster Of either ancient or modern times
that parallels thi, one in point Of destruc-
tion Of life, unless il be that Of the Royal
George, which was blown up in the Eng
lish Channel about fifty years ago, by the
explosion Of a magazine. 1t will long afford
a gloomy and notable epoch in the history
OF steam navigation.

ill.fated steamer "Sultana," when another

Gen. Dana was superseded in his command

per about the first OF July, to be called the

Times Office at Glasgow, and will shortly
commence the publication of the "Howard

of Howard county will give him a hearty
support in this enterprise, as nothing tends
more to the return Of peace, order and a
general revivifcution of good society than
the establishment Of well-conduoted news

THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.

O. for the fount immortal
That might our youth restore
Old Leon sought, bnt found il not,
BY Ell Dorado's shore,
Far down lovely valley
That fountain gushed, they say;
The sound of.fowing waters
Made music there alway.
The flowers were ever fragrant,
The leaves for age were green,
And birds Of gorgeous plumage
Among the trees were seen.
One draft from that pure streanlet
Relumed the faded eye,
The cheek flushed red with roses,
The sad heart ceased to sigh;
With health the pulses bounded,
With hope the bosom burned,
And, like rushing river,
The dreams Of youth returned.
Then from that vale upstarting,
The traveller went his way,
Rejoicing IN a beauty,
That never knew decay
That fount is lost forever!
High mountains shut 1t In,
And still oppressed, we wander
With age, and care, and sin.
o mortal, cease thy searching,
And upicGrd turn thine eye.
That fountain springs eternal,
That valley blooms on high!

supper on Friday evening last, burglar
entered the window Of the back room Of
his drug store, and abstracted from his till

But when we see that General Rhett, Of
South Carolina, has taken the oath of ale

Of Fort Delaware rises into absolute Won

the way, was plain Smith until it was

synonymous with all words signifying null

thirty years past. Whether the lately con-

original Robert Barnwell Rhett, we cannot
say. He is probably the former, the son OF
