A NOVEL WAaER-An amusing story
is going the round Of the Paris clubs. 1t
appears that short time ago foreign
prince made heavy bet that he would
be arrested by the police without COM
mitting any offence whatever, or in any
way provoking the authorities. The bet
having been taken by q member of the
Imperial Club, the prince went to one of
the most aristocratic cafes in Paris, dress
ed in battered hat a ragged blouse, and
boots all in holes, and sitting down at one
of the tables, ordered cup of coffee,
Tue walters, however, paid no attention
to so suspicious looking customer, upon
which the prince put his hand in his pock-
ct and showed them bundle Of bank
notes. The proprietor then ordered the
coffee to be served, sending meanwhile to
the nearest police station for a sergeant
de VILE The prince was duly arrested
and taken to the commissary of police,
where he stated who he was, and was af-
terwards taken to the gentleman with
whom he made the bet to prove his iden-
tity. A similar story was told at Vienna
some time ago of a Hungarian Prince
Seander, NJ. dc Metternich's son-in-law,
who, in order to make his arrest quite
sure took the bank notes out of his boots.

The following is one of many incidents
that befell @boarding round school

had been teaching in Lewis county,
in this State, and this term was boarding
round. One evening, after school, one OF
my scholars stepped up to me and said:
"Mr. Jones, father said you would: come
home with me-"
aVery WE'LL" l replied, and forthwith
set out for my prtron's house, which was
distant some two miles. Now, be it
known, James McHarry-for such was
his name-had two daughters, the pride
and envy of the whole community l
had heard much about them that | was
anxious to see them. 1t seemed, how
ever, was to be disappointed. :.
When we arrived learned the girls
had gone to party the other side of the
creek so 1 went to bed eXecrating the
luck which deprived me Of seeing them
that night. The night had we'll ad-

she turned to leave the room, when the
old man spoke:
"Girls,@ said he, athe schoolmaster's in

"Very WE'LL" said Sarah, and passing
through the room I slept in, went up
stairs About an hour had elapsed when
I heard Judy, the other one, come. She
stood at the door q long time, talking
with her Sweetheart" then entered
softly.
Disrobing her feet, she entered the
room where lay, in her stocking feet,
carefully undressed herself, and coming
to the side of the bed, prepared to get in.
Now, it happened lay in the middle,
and turning back the clothes, she gave

The Test OF HoNoR.-When that "bill
of denominations, the tariff of 1928, was
under discussion in the United States
Senate, John c. Calhoun was supposed to
have the casting vote. This tariff was
the first of many subsequent aggressions
which enriched the North to the detri
ment of the South-engendered by greed
and political intrigue Mr. Calhoun's op-
position to the bill was well understood,
and as he was then on the ticket with
Jackson as vice president, it was known
that his fatal arbitrament of q popular
measure would insure the defeat Of the
Democratic ticket. Uunder these cir
eumstances he was approached by some
of his party and advised to avoid the
difficulty by leaving his chair when the
vote should be taken. But as nothing
mean ever came near the head or heart
of that peerless man, so even the shadow
of disingenuousness failed to touch him.
He was at that moment the king-maker.
By remaining on the ticket with Jackson
and voting fer the bill his election was
secure; by still remaining on the ticket
and voting against the bill the defeat Of
jackson and the Democratic party was
assured. The friends of Jackson implor-
ed him by every motive of selfish expedi-
ency to evade the responsibility by par
liamentary subterfuge. He was inexora
BILE to every appeal. To sacrifice his
political aspirations by retiring from the
Jackson ticket was his determination-to
sacrifice his conscience by paltry dodge
impossible. Behold the temptation, a
certain vice-prcsidency and almost certain
chief magistracy-all for little compro
mise with duty. The unsullied soul of
the great Carolinian could not even hest
tate in the choice All the world and all
the glory of it were as nothing to honor;
he flung them away and stood up as God
made him-an incorruptible patriot, and
heaven born statesman. "Sir," said he
afterward in his speech on the Force Bill,
"I was amazed al the folly and infatua-
tion of that period. So completely was
Congress absorbed iii the game of ambi-
tion and avarice-from the double i'm
pulse of manufacturers and politicians
that none but few appeared to antici-
pate the present crisis, at which all are
now alarmed, but which is the inevitable
result of what was then done. AS to my
self, I clearly foresaw what has since fol-
lowed. The road Of ambition lay open
before mel had but to follow the cor
rupt tendency of the times-but | chose
to tread The rugged path Of duty"
Contrast this man with the senatorial
radicals of our era. Where does he stand
and where are they? Who live in igno-
miny?-who reposes on the bed of honor?

day why so many tall gentlemen were

This constitutes the pressing oebt,

AS the Company is unable at this time
to pay the bonds and coupons past due:
some settlement, upon fair and just prin-
cipes, should, without delay, be tender
ed to the creditors who hold them. AL
though the Company has been greatly
damaged in it's finances by the results of
the war, it is believed that by prudent
management, and some indulgence from
creditors, it will yet work out of its trou-
bles, and go on in it's course of usefulness.

A CARELESS GovERNoR.-William NJ.
Stone was elected Governor of Iowa
about two years ago, but having other
business to attend to, or residence at Des
Moines not being pleasant, he chose to
remain at his own home. His private
Secretary, Orwig by name, did all the
official business, being authorized to sign
the Governors name. lie signed and
issued proclamations appointing days of
thanksgiving and elections, general and
special; he signed pardons, reprievos and
discharges from the penitentiary, and ex-
ercised the pardoning power where he
"thought justice demanded it," he signed
the certificates Of Iowa's six Congress
men, upon which they now hold their
seats in Congress; he signed death war
rants that sent criminals to the gallows;
he appointed public officers and approx
ed their bonds, and had probably signed
the name of the Governor to ninety-nine
out of every hundred official papers that
have needed Governor Stones signature.
In fact, it appears that Governor" Or
wig having done SO much in behalf of
Governor Stone, that he thoughthe might
as well do little for himself He there
fore appropriated to his own use about
thirty thousand dollars worth of land
warrants, and suspicion being aroused
that Governor Stone had been doing this
thing, committee of the Legislature in
vestigated the facts, when the whole af-
fair WIS made manifest. What is finally
to be done about it is not yet determined.

aWhy does q razor cut better for
being dipped in hot water?" The edges
of ali tools instead Of being perfectly
smooth, are really toothed like saw, and
when the razor is dipped in hot water it
causes these little teeth to expand, thus
rendering the distance between them
smaller, and consequently giving the ra-
zor smoother edge.

not borrow money II we would, anu hence
we created but little debt. At the close
of this fiscal year the bills payable or
notes due amounted to only about sl4, 1000.
The debt for current expenses was very
small. Of the bills payable, nearly half
the amount was for the house and lot at
Newberry, purchased for the Offices,
which still belong to the Company, and
may now be sold without detriment, be-
ing worth nearly what it cost. The bal
ance of the bills payable has since been
paid off, The only Indebtedness likely
to embarrass the Company is the bond
debt. Until the fall Of the Confederate
Government, for twelve years preceding,
the Company had paid the coupons as
they were presented and during the lat
ter years of the war it had on deposit in
bank money to pay not only the coupons,
but the bonds as they fell due. The fol-
lowing is statement Of the bond debt:
The Company at various times has is
sued bonds to the amount of 81, ,500,O 900.
To secure the payment Of the first $780,
600, it executed a mortgage dated 18th
day Of January, 1854. Subsequently,
ABOUT December, 1850, as the bonds Sc
cured by the mortgage approached matu-
rity, application was made to the State
asking her to lend her credit to the Com
.pany in the arrangement OF its debt.
The application was granted, and the
Legislature, by Act ratified the 28th of
January, 1861, directed the guaranty Of
the bonds of the Company to the amount
of 5000, 900, for the purpose of enabling
it to fund its floating debt, and raise
funds to take up its mortgaged bonds, Sc
curing to the State at the same time a
statuarv mortgage to cover her liability.
These are the only liens upon the road,
and they amount to 100000. Of the
mortgaged bonds, SS00,000, there have
been retil ed and cancelled s446, 900; leav-
ing still outstanding S354,OOo. To ena-
BILE the Company to retire these, the
Treasurer has in hand of guaranteed
bonds 100000; and under the Act Of
the Legislature we are entitled to fur
ther guaranty OF 100000 -S3O4, 900 ;
leaving 1nprovided for of the mortgaged
bonds $4,000. To this amount bonds
have been disposed Of to meet these
bonds, and the proceeds were lost in the
general wreck. Of the bonds outside
the mortgage, $500, 900, there fell due Ju-
ly l, 1865, s35O,O0O. The balance will
fall due July l, 1868, $3.50, ,OOO-S6OO, 900.
For these bonds there is no lien on the
road. The bondholders, doubling the
currency during the war, neglected or re-
fused to present their bonds and coupons
for payment, and now there are outstand-
ing and due coupons to the amount of
S264, ,092. So all Of which would have been
paid if presented, and so much saved to
the Company.

THE ANGEL IN THE BLocK.--lt is rela-
ted of Michael Angelo, that while walk
ing with some friends through an obscure
street in the city of Florence, he discov-
ed u fine block of marble, lying neglected
in yard, and half in dirt and rubbish.
Regardless of his holiday attire, he at
once fell to work upon it, clearing away
it's filth, and striving to lift it from the
slime and miro in which it lay.
His companions asked him, in astonish
ment what be was doing, and what he
wanted of that worthless piece of rock !?
"Oh. there's an angel in this stone," was
the answer, "and / must get it out"
He had it removed to his studio. and,
with patient toll with mallet and chisel,
he let the angel out. What to others was
but a rude, unsightly stone, to his educa-
ted eye was a buried glory of art, and he
discovered at glance what might be
made of it. A mason would have put 1T
into stone wall-a cartman would have
used it in filling in, OF to grade the streets,
but he transformed it into a creation OF
genius, and gave it value for ages to
como.
And so it is with time. Some see 1T
only as rubbish to be disposed of. Others
know no use for it but to fill up gaps OF
toll or pleasure but the trained eye Of
the devout student of Providence, sees in
it the sleeping or buried angel, and knows
that if, by the grace of God, he handles
it right, he can bring that angel out. lie
can carve tinto the forms of angelic SER
vice-he can shape it into life of holy
devotion, TILL like that which Theodore
Parker admired in the missionary Jud-
son, it is worth more than IA temple like
the Parthenon."
Without religion it is almost inevitable
that one should be constrained to ex-
claim at last, like one of the great Mar
shal's of France, "My life has been a
failure" But with it, time will be trans
muted from the rough block into the glo-
rious statue, or rather the living form.
Consecrated aims will make it at once
useful and blessed patch of light, but
a pathway, too, to angelic glories in a
higher sphere.-Ffanktort Commonwealth.
