A VOLUME IN A PARAGRAPH.-Here is
what Horace Greely says in his au'obiog-
rsphy about running into debt:
Hunger, cold, rags, hard work, con.
tempt, suspicion, unjust reproach. are
dissgreeable, but deb. is infinitely worse
than them all. And, if it had pleased
God 10 spare either or all OF my sons to
be the support and solace Of my declining
years, the lesson which | should have
most earnestly sought to impress upon
them is. "Never run into deb! ! Avoid
pecuniary obligations as you would pesii-
lence or famine. If you have but fifty
cents, and can get no more for week,
buy peck of corn, patch i, and live on
it, rather than owe any man dollar !"

JUDGE CHASE IN RICHMOND. When
the Chief Justice was in the capital of
Virginia, he went to the Spotswood
Hotel. Capt. AIillward accompanied
him to his room, and playfully re-
min ded the distinguished guest of
the fact that he stood upon tapestry
hallowed by the tread of the greatest
of these days. Mr.. Chase replied
that he would like to possess three
qualities-the genius of Davis, the
perseverance of Grant and the in
domitable will of johnson. a very
flattering compliment truly, says the
Examiner, of the three worthless,
when we consider the high position
and acknowledged abilities of him
who uttered the words.

ever arise. There may be many
things simply distasteful; there may
be petty differences of opinion among
the people of this country, but that
the era of neutrality-suspicious. or
political-has passed away, we firmly
believe; and thus believing, we take
heart and encouragement for the
future. So far as our humble efforts

1t is reported that the Emperor of
Austria intends to signalize his coro-
nation rs King of Hungary by an act
of clemency and justice toward the
Hungarian patriots, which shows that
he has learned. in the stern school of
adversely, the monarch's hardest les
son. The amnesty of all political
offenders, which he proposes to pro-
claim, will include even Kossuth,
though that impracticablc leader (if
q man with no followers can be called
leader) will probably, like NIazzini,
refuse to accept clemency from a
King. But the great mass of his
countrymen are less particular Oh this
point, and will doubtless prove the
most loyal of the many nationalities
that owe allegiance to the House of
Hapsburg.

BETWEEN Two FIRES. Mr.. Greeley
has been urging, in the Tribune, the
necessity of sending more Republican
orators to the South. The Express
asks why Mr.. Greeley does not set
the example, to which NJ. q. replies.
His concluding reason for declining
is the following:
The need at the South is of men
who can speak authoritatively of what
Congress desires, purposes, and will
do. MIR. Greeley cannot SO speak
He was nominated for Congress, last
fall, in an overwhelmingly Democra-
tic district, and beaten by $1,000 ma
jority in the ensuing election, because
the Democrats feared he would !e too
h0'u upon the rebels. His name was
then taken before strongly Repub-
lican Legislature, rs candidate for
United States Senator, and he was
there still worse beaten, because the
Republicans feared he was inclined to
be too easy with the rebels. It is thus
settled beyond cavil that he cannot
speak for Congress; hence, he took
care not to do so at Richmond He
is left free to speak his own mind,
and to stand on his own platform,
which is, as it, for two years, noto-
rlously has been-universal amnesty,
with impartial suffrage.

On her late return voyage, the Colo

$4,000, 900, the imports nearly rs
much; the manufactures are worth

sales amount to about $4,000

sessed for taxation ut only $50, ,00O,-

GOLD STEADY The New York
Times, of Saturday, SAYS:

NiOlID - EAD4. luC New lOCk
Times, of Saturday, says:
Gold has been remarkably steady
of late. The extreme points in the
fluctuations since the 1st of MAY have
only covered distance of two per
cent. There have been weeks in
which spectators have had to be
satisfied with fluctuations of one per
cent. ;and there have been many days
IN which n quarter or an eighth of
one per cent. has been counted good
thing one way or the other. The
gold room has been very dull and
stupid, and it seems ut times as if
things were about to dry up. Nobody
can form an idea as to what will affect
prices during the summer; and u very
small affair, such as u business fail
ure or Bismarckian growl, affords
occasion for n very large noise. Sec
retary McCulloch keeps along in his
established policy of selling little
gold now and then through the Sub
Treasury; but there is no reason to
believe he ever imagined that he could
put it down very far, or keep it down
very long, by any movements he
might make. We suppose that the
prospect Of the grain crop and the
cotton crop will, i'll the absence of
anything more startling, be the prin-
cipal cause of any such slight varia-
tons in gold as may be looked for
during the summer. The steadiness
In the gold market during the last
forty days furnishes n remarkable
contrast to the violent fluctuations
that took place during the same pc
riod last year.

KERsHAw D1srRIcr. "A Camden
correspondent of the Charleston Ne,cs
says:
''I have heard of but little dissatis-
faction with the freedmen this year.
In fact, the excellent condition of the
crops attest that the laborers are
doing their duty manfully.
'From every account of the crop,
it is to be judged that we are all
hopeful, and look forward to fnan-
cial as well as political reconstruction
next winter. The former depends
greatly on the latter, and both must
go hand in hand. 1t is our duty to
labor as faithfully for the one as the
other"

The Pensacola (Fla.) Observer says
that the report that $40, 900 had
been dug up from the graveyard of
that city, where it had been buried
during the war, and removed to parts
unknown, came near terminating in
tragedy. Some fifty or sixty ne
groes, who claimed their share of the
plumber, attacked the negro drayman
who was said to have spirited the
treasure away, and would have lynch
ed him but for the interposition of
the sheriff. The city, at last accounts,
was filled with gangs of idle negroes,
discussing the great issue"

Santa Anna, the Mexican chieftain,
who, for some time past, has been
residing on Staten Island, (where he
was held by Sheriff Winants,) has de-
parted for Mexico. The embarkation
was conducted in such quiet man
ner that only few persons were
aware of it. A vessel, with 5000
stands of arms, and men and NUM-
tlons of war, preceded him. 1t is
stated that Secretary Seward cndea-
vored to prevent his departure, but
was out-witted by the cunning old
Mexican.
Eating while the body is fatigued
is very injurious habit; but severe
labor soon after hearty meal is none
the less so. A large share Of vital
force is required to properly perform
the process of digestion, and if this
is called away to the muscles or brain
to accomplish severe physical or men
tai labor, the stomach is left INSULT
ciently supplied, and the food remains
for long time undigestcd.
y Nashville mechanic has recently
applied for patent for IL new style
OF locomotive smokc-st so con-

and they fall harmlessly upon the
earth beneath the locomotive, thus
insnring safety to all articles Of n
combus.ible nature on the train or in

A creosoted sleeper, put down on
the Stockton and Darlington Rail
way, in England, in August, 1871,
was taken up March II. 1867, after
nearly twenty-five years service. The
grain of the wood, although slightly
discolored by creosote, is as fresh and
apparently as tough as that of newly
sawed timber, and the odor of creo-
sote is as strong as if the wood had
just been operated upon.
The latest improvement in horti-
