a rumor prevails generally Tonight
that Secretary Stanton has resigned his

SIMPLE MODE OF COMPUTING INTER
Es7.-A new method Of computing in.
te.est on any number of dollars at six
per cent, appears very simple. Null
tiply any given number of dollars by
the number of days of interest desired,
separate the right hand figure, and
divide by six the result is the true
interest of such sum for such number
of days, at six per cent. This rule is
SO simple and SO true, according to all
business usages, that every banker,
broker, merchant or clerk should post
it up for reference and use. There
being no such thing as fraction in
it, there is scarcely any liability to
err or mistake. BY no other mathe-
matical process can the desired imfor-
nation be obtained with SO few fig
ures.

A NEW THfNG-A Fashion.

A New THfNG-A Fashionable
hnoUatiom- The "MotAer and In
fant Reception. - The fashionable
ladies Of New York have invented
something new under the SUM-" It
is a "Mother and infant Reception"
The Express gives full particulars of
the latest affair of the kind, minutely
describing the habiliments of the happy
mother and her child worn ON the oc-
casion. It says:
"The young wife of one of our dis
tinguished lawyers invited her lady
friends to see her beautiful infant
when it reached the advanced age of
four weeks. The rosy looking baby
was attired in beautiful dress of lace,
sleeves looped with gold, and broad
blue sash around its virgin waist.
The mother wore an elegant French
gown, of deep lavender, made in broad
plaits at the bank, and floating from
the neck, in long train. Broad laven-
der ribbons were fastened on each
shoulder, brought down to the waist,
and finished with a bow and long
ends. The point of the robe opened
over skirt of cambric, tucked with
cluny between each tuck, and lined
with lavender lavender gloves and
some colored ribbons ON her hair,
completed most distinguishing toilet
The reception was from 2 until 4
o'clock, and during those hours the
street in front Of the house was lined
with elegant carriages. Benoiton was
IN the ascendent. Fair forms foated
from the carriages, dressed in the
latest style. Bonnets which looked
like head dresses, basques, deep point
ed shawls, of lace and cashmere, dresses
of moine and colored silk, and dia-
monds, lent their richness to the oe-
casion.
The perfume of the sweetest flow
ers filled the rooms, and the ladies'
gloried in enjoying themselves all the
more within, when the nearest pair
of pantaloons was on the coach.box
outside. The conversation was es-
pecially unique. The reception was
not even profaned by man waiter ap-
pearing. Many rich presents were
given to the unconscious little cherub
on whose account SO much fuss had
been made. Even the invitations were
novel:

AUTUMN SUNSHINE.


Mild as the glances of angel eyes,
Soft as the kisses of ofirst-born love,
Down through the haze of the Autumn skies
Genes the glad sunshine frsm the realmsabo
Beautiful pictures it SIX etcheth now,
Touched with the glowing hues Of old,
Painting the valley and mountain's brow
With purple and opal and red and gold.
A whisper of beauty the spirit flls,
Tales of land that fadeth never,
Sunshine that gildeth the beautiful hills,
Over the bank of the shadow river.
Beautiful rest for the weary soul,
Earth hath no beauty akin to this
Anthems of eiadness forever roll n
Over those halcyon plains of bliss. /jj
Down the sleeps of life's western hill,
Beautiful sunshine of hope and light,
Every shadow aud hope dispel,
Lift my spirit from realms Of night.
Soft as the beams of the Autumn SUI,
Sweet as the death Of the summer flowers,
Gather thy jewels one by one,
Take my soul to those fadeless bowers.

Wool GroMIng in Texas.

The editor Of the Houston Telegraph,
Texas, in speaking of the fitness of that
State for wool growing purposes, makes
some rather luminous statements. He
says they have ample room there for ten
times as many sheep as are now found in
the limits of the United States. They
have "70, 900, 900 acres of land over sight
ed. He looks with much satisfaction to
the efforts now being made at Washing
ton to secure higher protective tariff on
woods, and regards it as prophetic of much
good and great wealth to his State. 1t is
estimated that the business there before
the war paid the careful flock master a
profit of fifty per cent. on his invest
ments. From our own observations in
the State previous to the outbreak of the
rebellion, we are satisfied that his esti-
mate Is not much if fanything, above what
facts will warrant. When men kept
their hocks upon free grazing land there
the COST of keeping a flock of 1000
sheep was about two bits rs cents) per
head for the year.
With sheep that would give four pounds
per head, and wool at no more than twen-
ty-fVe cents per pound, any man can
reckon profits for himself. We learn by
private letters that many men who were
obliged to abandon the business during
the war, are now gathering up their for
ces to take hold of the enterprise once
more. We know of no field in this coun-
try promising richer and more sure re-
turns for the labor and skill of energetic |
young men than wool growing in Texes.
