CUTTING NAILS on SUNDAY Among The
supersti'ions of Golden days" the time for
the cutting of nails seems 10 have excited as
much attention as many other. matters whica
have been brought to the view of all of us
who are pleased with this peculiar kind of
reading. In fact, we have ourselves met n
number of persons who would not proceed
with this elennly oper alton but on o certain
day of the week, and upon no consideration
would attempt TO trim their nails on o Fri-
day or a Sunday. As others of our readers
may have come across some acquaintances es
with similar notions, we print from an old
work on the subject verse giving the pains
as well as thd benefits which result upon
the day they may select to cut their nails:
E'Cut 'em on Monday, you cut 'em for
health;
Cut EN- 'op Tuesday. you cut 'em for wealth;
Cut 'cm on Wednesday you cut 'cm for news
Cut 'em on Thursday, q new pair of shoes
Cut 'em on Fridry, you cut 'em for sorrow
Cut 'cm on Saturday, you'll see your true
love to-morrow:
Cut 'em on Sunday, and yon'll have the dew
il with you al the week"

It is high time this false principle Of paying
interest ou deposits was exploded. Business
men and banks ont of the city OF New York
can correct the evil. The fact that IN most
cases bank becomes unsafe wheu 1t begins to
pay interest On deposits, should induce bust

be brought to the good sound old principles

N1H. ALLISoNss MOTION.

Mr.. Allison is entitled to the thanks, not
only of his own constituency, but of the
whole people, East and West, for his effort
t. get the bounty On exported cotton goods
stricken out or the tax bill. The rote on his
motion was: nycs, Is; docs, G5. As the vote
was taken In Committee 0. the Whole, the ayes
and noes were not shown. When the bill Is
reported to the Horse, we trust that Mr. Al
lison will call for separate yote On this sec.
tion OF the bill, and get the names Of mem
bers rccurdcd upon II, and let us see who is
in favor Of taking tho peoples money from
the treasury and paying 1t to cotton manu-
facturers, to ensbic them to make profitable
trades with John Chinamnn.
We have carefully pernscd the debate in
the Globe on this strange proposition, hoping
10 dnd some excuse or palllation for it, a1r.
Mer,1ll's argument was that the bounty
would encourage cotton manufactures. OF
this there can be little doubt. We should
feel much encouraged If Congress should rolc
us pn annual bounty for publishing newspa-
per, especially If the bounty were 10 be in
creased according to The number Of copies We
Should print. Any nun or any trade would
be encouraged By similnr g1atuity. The
question Is, first, whether there Is any
moral right to divert the public funds In this
way; and, second, whether 1t is good
economy TO do SO. As to the former, We hold
TINT there is no room for arr umcnt upon II.
It is an undissulaed public theft As to the
lattcE, 1t may he easily shown that the gain
arising from tho bounty goes in part to the
foreign purchaser OF the goods. Therefore
this moicty is lost to the country. Granting
that a portion Of 1t goes to the home manu-
facturer and is therefore, in some sensc, saved
lu the country, though not In the right pock-
els, the other portion is sheer waste
1t is the same thing as yot~
Ing two dollars out Of the
treasury on condition tlat the recipient shall
l,cstow ono upon his customer in the East or
West Indus. air. Morrill, went 60 far as 10
say that without this bounty clause he should
be opposed to tie cotton tax entirely, which
is the sane thing as SAYING that he deems q
robbery Of four millions Of dollars from the
treasury for the benefit OF the cotton manu-
,sct,;1crs more 10 he desired than the eecu-
RUG Of forty millions to the treasury from
