A Fenian Barometer.

WE notice in the various papers statements
endeavorlng to cheer up the dropping spirits
of the Fenians under the adverse news which
comes from abroad in regard to the prospects
of the uprising in Ireland. SO far as the in
telligence coming by the cable is concerned
the fact that it is in possession of the British
on both ends of the line may account for any
leaning towards the English, and may even
render the reliability of the dispatches doubt
ful. But there is another criterion which
never deceives-an infallible barometer
which always indicates the exact prospects of
the success Of either party. We refer to the
quotations of British Consols. The most re-
fined instrument for detecting the approach of
a storm in the physical world is inaccurate
and unreliable compared with the rise and
fall of stocks. Whenever any conyulsion
occurs in the political world, its approach is
always foreshadowed by fall in Government
bonds. Now, looking at the prospects of
Fenian victories in Ireland, do we see
the slightest indication of them in the
fluctuations of Consols There has been no
change whatever; there has not been the least
indication of danger in fact, from the quota
ton, we should say that confidence has rather
increased. How different was it in 184S, when
the other effort at an outbreak was attempted
The Consols fell on one occasion nine per cent.
in twenty-four hours. Yet that attempted re-
bellion was easily crushed. How much smaller
must be the chance of success at present; when
no huctuation is perceptible While, there
fore, sincerely sympathizing with Ireland in
her atfliction, we cannot but do our duty as
journalists, and advise all our readers to avoid
giving their money to aid perfectly hopeless
cause. The fate of the attempt is foregone
conclusion. 1t never had a shadow of chance.
1t cannot but be an entire failure, and all the
funds contributed will end with going into the
pockets of sharpers, or else be thrown away in
ammunition to be captured by the British,
or in pamphlets to convict some of the unfor-
tunate victims of too sanguine disposition in
Ireland

enjoy their semi-rural homes. In a few years
they will be hemmed in with beautiful resi-
dences. Columbia avenue will soon be the
border, and in a few years more the Odd Eel
lows and Mechanics Cemeteries will be called
upon to give up their dead to the opening of
new streets and the onward march of inn
prOvement.
The opportunities to-day are equal with
those of the past. The increase of our city is
now more rapid than then. We have only to
carry our memories back five years, and have
patience for the future.
Ten per cent, then, would be moderate
interest, counting these extraordinary results
and advantages of the patient economist. This
Will materially alter our figures. Here it Isl

Fhe aggregate of the above table is that
S4534 per day, placed at interest, at the
lowest of our legal rates. viz, six per cent,
will in fifty years nett the enormous sum of
$47S'5OO. Sl'l0 per diem, a sum within the
ability of most business men, will amount
to the clever fortune of $4,000. Enough, it
will be acknowledged, to spoil quite a large
pOsterity not morally fortified against so
common a disaster.
But this is not the brightest side of the pic
ture. 1t is supposed here that the prudent
and economical money getter is to be satisfied
with giving to the Trust Company the advan-
tages of advanced rates, increased values. and
speculative opportunities of so long term.
In business circles money is worth double the
above rates, and many are sacrificing this in
terest for want of cash to discount their bills.
More than this, the ability to discount each
bill as it is matured, is Feather in the cap''
of the business man, which orttmes returns
him an additional five per cent. on following
purchases. Money iudiciousy invested in
real estate will ofttimes double, and even
| quadruple, in half the time above stated.
Thirty-fve years ago, property on Chestnut
street could have been bought at One-tenth
the present price. The ground on which the
Girard block is built, bounded by Market and
Chestnut streets and Eleventh and Twelfth
streets, was then covered with towering forest
trees. Starting from the corner of Twelfth
and Chestnut streets, one could journey diago-
nally across unimproved lots to Gray's Ferry.
This is now densely built up. The West-End
has, since that time, become one Of the choicest
parts OF our city, and is replete with the most
costly residences. From Thirteenth and Mar
ket streets to the old Girard farm, now Girard
College, was succession of vacant commons,
bleak hills, and unsightly burying grounds.
Behold now Spring Garden, Green, Mount
Vernon, Wallace, Coates, and other streets,
lined with the choicest dwellings, On Eleventh
and Twelfth streets, the city is already beyond
Monument Cemetery. To-day, Master street
west of Fifteenth, is the border. II will moi
be long that the residents on these streets will

will give very general satisfaction to the oOun-
try, and under the Generals named we do not
doubt that the provisions Of the law will be
faithfully executed. Zach of them is familiar
with the condition of his district, and will be
fitted to act more wisely under the bill than
a new officer could do.

A Fortune Within the Grasp of Every

THE road to fortune like the public high
way, is open alike to the children of the beg
gar and the descendant of the king. Some
may fail in the effort: unforeseen misfortune
may check and discourage others. The forest
tree does not always mature as natures law
directed and intended. There are exceptions
to every law, that of money-getting included.
We propose to show how a nimble sixpence
may be converted into fortune, how care and
economy may be made the twin servants of
worldly prosperity; how insignificant trifes
mayn by little wisdom and patience, be made
the basis of blocks of real estate. In other
words, how simple is the great mystery OF
accumulation, when rightly understood.
The following table speaks for ITSELF with
greater elOquence than anything which argu-
ment or persuasion could add

The aggregate of the above table is as fol-
lows:-$3'49 per day at 10 per cent, for fifty
years, will amount to 81, ,477000.
The small sum of 81 cents per day, at the
above rate, will, in fifty years, nett the large
sum of $4,000.
This will doubtless astonish our young
friend, who have never dreamed of in
dependence. 'Fifty years is a long time, "
they answer. You need not wait so long. By
the saving of larger sum you may hasten
the good time. And yet, how many persons
will continue in business even fifty years, and
from wasteful extravaganza or mismanage-
ment, die poor
The question of interest is a strange one.
So rapidly do your little sixpences aooumu-
late, that the last years interest of the fifty
amounts to two thousand six hundred and
fifty dollars. Another and still stranger fact
is here shown. While the principal of your
combined sixpences, for the above time stated,
is but eleven hundred and forty-two dollars,
the compound interest of the same is twenty
seven thousand eight hundred and ifty-eight
dollars. Extend the calculation ten years
further, and you have $40, 900.
Here is an old man tottering with his staff.
His hair is white with the frosts of eighty
winters. He is soon to shake hands with
Death, and bid farewell to the expressions of
poverty. He is very poor; his clothing is
ragged; he often retires to his humble couch
with a dry crust for his evening meal. For
sixty years he has INDUCED in little and use
less eXtravagances, which, but for the cultiva-
ton of foolish habits, he could have done
without, and the saving OF which might have
secured for him competence and respect in his
old age. He has daily partaken of from one
to two glasses of liquor, and he has scarcely
ever been without his quid of tobacco. What
| a pitiable plight for an old man! He complains
of the world for his misfortunes, when in
| truth the folly is his own. Had he begun at
| his twentieth year to save the siXpence per
day, spent in the cultivating and feeding of
! one useless and filthy habit, he could have
escaped the evil and been a cleanlier and better
man. He could have had a fortune of over
SeCenty-Sir thousand dollars. His children could
have been better educated, and his decline
be cheered by the prospect of benefits to be
conferred upon the remaining members of his
household, and the invigoration of benevolent
objects.
The road to fortune is not so mysterious and
difficult as supposed. 1t is straight and easy
of travel. Be industrious, be frugal; avoid
useless habits, and all will yet be well.

THE CoLLEoToRsHIP.-We understand that
numerous friends of Colonel William B..
Thomas, late Collector of the Port of Philadel-
phia, are urging his reappOintment to that
position. There is a pressing necessity for
filing the office by the appointment of some
one to the regular and responsible discharge
of its duties. Setting politics entirely aside,
and viewing the matter entirely in business
light, no one would be more acceptable to the
merchants of the city. To upimpeachable
integrity, Colonel Thomas adds the important
qualification of a thorough acquaintance with
all the details of the Custom House. We
sincerely hope that the President will settle
manner.
