THERE is reason to believe that our Govern

chase of the Island of St. Thomas than it did in
buying Alaska. The sum paid for the Island is
seven million five hundred thousand dollars
About the time the bargain was closed it was
visited by forty-seven successive earthquake
shocks, during which time the sea rose sixty
feet, submerging the city and causing immense
loss of life and property. The survivors fled to
the mountains. Every business firm in the ISL

A THOUGHT FOR THE DIscoNTENTED.-In the
days of the cold Brewery" at the Five Points,
New York, woman and her only daughter, a
child FIVE years of age, occupied loathsome
corner on the first floor. 1t was the custom of
the mother, after having covered the child with
all the rags which had been collected during the
day, to place few broken boards, dignifed by
the title of door, in such position as proba-
bly, kept the horrible place half degree warm
er than it would have been without such a shell
ter. On one occasion, after the mother had ad-
justed the boards for the night the child proba-

said " Mother, what does poor people do that's

WISE ORDER.-The history of our Indian
wars shows that in most instances hostilties
have been provoked by wanton outrages upon
the Indians. General Halleck, in his instruc-

the Military District of Alaska, says =" Past
history has shown that most of the difficulties
which have occurred in this territory between
the natives and foreign settlers have arisen from
violation of tribal laws rules in regard to
the rights and duties of their females. You will
give your special attention to this matter, and
will adopt such measures you may deem nee
essary to prevent any complaint in this behalf"

him the third time to pay him that
dollar. He answers the third time,
'Yes, / promise to pay you that dol
lar The General replies with
some warmth, Then pay It now
The creditor replies, My dear Cen
eral, / have paid you. / have three
times promised to pay you, and is
not q promise of payment a suiIl-
cieht payment? Pray, sir, how
many promises do you think it
takes to make adollar?' Probably
the General would boot he,fellow
from his presence, and never ask
him for the dollar again, and take
good care that he never owed him
another. And yet General Butler
calls upon the government Of the
United States to do this very thing
with its creditors. sdT a
'Bpt General Buffers scheme
not only proposes to redeem one
promise With another which is new
erto be redeemed, but to redeem a
promise which draws interest by
one which does not draw interest.
To illustrate this, we will suppose
that General Butler holds d note
against Charles Simmer for one
thousand dollars, payable in two
to five years, at the option of the
maker with interest payable semi
annually. The two years are ex-
pired and Mr.. Sumner goes to Cen
eral Butler and says: General, |
am tired of paying interest on that
note and wish TO pay it. General
Butler replies, Very well, you have
a right to take it up Mr.. Sumner
offers him his own note for the
amount withoutinterest. The Gen
eral says to Mr.. Summer, 4 have
your promise to pay already. If
you wish to take up your note, pay
me the money Mr. Sumner re-
plies, General, I did indeed prom
ise to pay you so many dollars, but
you know that one promise may
always be redeemed by another Of
the same Mind, unless it is otherwise
expressly provided in the promise
General Butler replies, But this is
not even q promise Of the same
kind; it promises no interest Mr..
Sumner, with his accustomed good
nature, replies, Very true; but,
General, you should understand chat
as the second promise always can
cells the debt, l am no longer bound
to pay interest. " .....f.,..
