THE INNER LIFE"

y publishing house in the city of Gotham,
has sent us the prospectus of i book which
bears the impressive title of ''The liner Life
Of abraham LiacoLn," with the suggestion
that we might make a good thing of it by
buying lot of these books and offering them
as premiums for new subscribers, after the
manner of doing things in Iankeedom.-
They further assure US that the New York
Independent has ordered tGeeIrc MonsdMd CO..
pies for the purpose suggested, all of which
have been given away as premiums. In the
latitude where the Independent circulates-
where the subject of this book is canonizcd
rs saint, and his memoirs distributed among
she little children of the Sabbath Schools,
the investment may possibly be good one,
but we have notion that the people of this
section have too vivid a recollection of the
''e1ster l;Se" Of the ''late lamented" to care
particularly about his sinner life" The
truth is, we cannot conceive of a work that
would present fewer inducements than the
one proposed by this New York publishing
house. If they can furnish authentic biogra-
phies Of John Brown the horse thief. or Joe
Chapline the check forger, they might dis
pose Of few copies on account of their local
interest, and we might feel induced to make
small investment, but the literary taste of
our people has not yet become so vitiated as
to desire to read the ''inncr life of Abraham
Lincoln, which, to be correct, must of course
embOdy rehash of his vulgar anecdotes and
smutty stories.

GOVERNS ENT FINANCES.

y bill which was reported several days ago
In the Senate of the United States, by Mr..
SHERMAN, from the Finance Committee. in
relation to the public debt, provides first for
the issue of gold bonds, bearing six per cent.
interest, payable in from ten to forty years at
the option of the Government, and free from
all taxation. In consideration of this exemp-
SION, the Treasurer is to reserve one per cent.
from the interest, one half of which is to be
paid to the States in proportion to population,
aud the other half of which is to be set aside
as sinking fund. In addition to this there
Is a further sum to be applied to the reduc
aOn of the debt. The $40 bonds, now pay
able, are to be exchanged for the new Bonds,
and SO with other bonds when they become
payable. If holders of bonds prefer, they
may demand payment of the same in legal
tenders, provided there are not at any time
more than S+0O 600 900 greenbacks in cir
eaiatiou. The bill also provides for the issue
OF foreign Al per cent. bond, payable, prin-
cipal and interest, in coin in from 90 to 10
years, in Frankfort or London
The bill will be taken up after the HOLIDAYS,
and will be warmly discussed. Holders of
United States securities, desire to have their
bonds made payable in gold. If they are
entitled to this, as they claim, there is no rca-
son Why Olr. Sherman should eudeavor to do
them out of one ,sizth of tkeir annual inter-
est; for this will in fact be but five per
cent. bond. But the truth is, gold interest
will never be paid after the next Presidential
election, aud ought not to..be::paid considering
the situation of the country, and the legal
tender laws that apply to all private debts
among the people,

CHRISTMAS!

We Issue this paper on the eve of another
Christmas anniversary. We tender the COM
Pimcnts of the joyous season to our numer-
Gus patrons, wherever and under. whatever
circumstances this paper may find them, and
as they to-day gather around the home circle,
We hope their cup of rational enjoyment may
be full, and that real happiness may be theirs,
now and continually. Whether our enjoy
nent will be such as should characterize the
season will depend very much upon the
Punetuality of our subscribers in paying up
their dues, of which we have not much to
boast up to the present time. As usual few
faithful ones have stood by US with material
aid, but alas many, too many, have withheld
the helping hand. Perhaps they will do bet
ter hereafter. Heaven grant it,

Proposed Sale of Cuba to the United
States,

The New York HeraLI has the following.
dated Havana, 18th instant: OF course the
reader will await confirmation Of the state
meHt:-
We have further and authentic news from
Madrid in relation TO the proposed sale Of the
Spanish West Indian possessions: 1t con-
veys the important information that the Span-
ish government had made formal offer TO
the American Minister at Madrid. Hon. Juo
=. Hale, to sell tie islands Of Cuba and Por-
to Rico to the United States for one hundred
aud fifty millions Of dollars III gold. The
terms OF sale are as follows:
Fifty million dollars in gold are to be paid
down in cash on the signing Of the treaty
and the formal delivery of the island to the
authorities of the United States. A second
nifty million dollars in gold to be paid in one
year thereafter. The third instalIment of
fifty millions in gold to be paid at the end Of
six years.
The public heart is beating with anxiety
at the announcement, and great excitement
prevails. as the extinguishment Of slavery
here will be one Of the consequences of this
sale. 1t was hoped by some that Spain would
abolish the institution in time to save her ma
tlonal pride. The acquisitions made by the
United States from Russia and Denmark.
that Of Louisiana from France and of Florida
from Spain herself, are now referred to as
precedents that leave the national honor of
Spain in this bargain unassailable.

EFFECT OF ADMINISTRATOR need
not say there is no benefit in adveI..-iug.-
We have had the thing illustrated. Last

ing after our paper appeared the cow came
marching home. And not only did she come
herself, but she brought enc calf with her.

and concluded to ''come down" Let this
