The total result, therefore, of our fnan-
cial operations for May is 10 add about
three and half millions of gold interest to
our annual indebtedness. Our cnrreney-
bearing interest debt we have reduced in
about the same proportion. The object of
the Secretary and of the Radical Congress
Is 10 take up as fast as possible all the
debt that bears no interest, and all the debt
that bears currency interest, and convert it
into collaborating interest debt, which in-
terest is about forty per cent. above what
the interest would be in currency. There
is financial talent for you. IS l..as .1a.
But this is not all. The Treasury has
nearly ST., 100000 more Of gold this month
than it had last month. Many people
would have supposed that it would have
been better to have taken this seventeen
millions, that is now lying idle in the
Treasury, drawing no interest, and en-
plOyed it in taking up fve-twenty bonds
upon which we are paying six per cent
gold interest. There would have been in
this little transaction saving of million
of dollars in gold year, in the shape of
interest on the bonds, But such an item is
not thought to amount TO anything by the
Radical fnsnciers in Congress, who con-
troll the Secretary OF the Treasury. While
we have got sixteen millions of dollars in
gold in the Treasury more than we had last
month, We have called in aud burned up
over eleven millions of dollars in currency,
that was costing the government no inter-
est whatever. But money was thought to
be too plenty now by the wiseacres in
Washington, and hence they have adopted
this policy of making it scarcer, and pro-
ducing a stringency in the times. The
points of our national financial policy may
be briefly recapitulated as follows:
]. Increase of the gold debt, and gold
interest upon it.
2. Extinguish all indebtedness that
draws no interest, or is payable in cur
rency. -...- .....
3. Accumulate an enormous amount of
gold in the Treasury, to be kept idle, and
Tor which the government receives no in
terest.
4. Call in and destroy the greenbacks, in
order 10 make money tight, with its cor
responding correlatiYes Of depressed bust
ness and hard times.
This, we repeat, is the policy at Wash
| ington. 1t is the policy of the Secretary
Of the Treasury, 1t is the policy OF the
Radical Congress-, which, by law, has
authorized the Secretary TO adopt it. 1t is
the policy Of the Chicago Convention which
nominated Grant. 1t is a policy to i'm
poverish the country. 1t is a policy that
IL opposed to reason and common sense.
II is policy which, if it was pursued by
private individual, in the management OF
an estate, as guardian or administrator,
would justify the wards or heirs in resort
ing to legal proceedings to stop such squan-
dering of their patrimony. An individual
who would manage his own estate in this
manner would be considered fit subject
for the lunatic asylum. -.

The Struggle for health.

The following remarks are taken from
the 44tlsntic Monthly They should be
needed BY every person who denies health
and long life:
In our civilized, sedentary life, he who
would have good health must fight for it.
Many people have the insoence to become
parents who have no right to aspire to
that dignity; children are born who have
no right to exist; and skill preserves
many whom nature is eager to destroy.
Civilized man. too, has learned the trick
Of heading off some Of the diseases that
used to sweep over whole regions OF the
earth, and lay low the weakest tenth Of
the population Consequently, while the
average duration Of human life has been
increased, the average tone of human
health has been lowered. Fewer die, and
fewer are quite we'll. Very many Of
Us breath vitlated ar, and Keep ninetenths
of the body quescent for twenty-five or
twenty-thrce hours out OF tWenty-tour.
Immens numbers cherish gloomy, depress-

gravates some OF the worst tendencies Of
the week, and counteracts none of them.

Mysterious Disappearance of a Lake.

I
A week or two ago we stated that the
water was leaving Ottawa Lake, Mich
and that it was attributable to the high
westerly winds forcing the water Lake
Erie. \ CORE spondent of a cold-water
paper gives some particulars connected
with the disappearance of the water which
are of interest. He says:
For some days past Ottawa Lake has
presented very exciting scene. The
occasion was this. Those living near the
the Ice on the lake was. falling. Soon
ing to the holes in the ice where they
watered their cattle. They increased in
numbers, large and small, the former
having their mouths wide open and so
exhausted that the people caught them
with their hands.
As many teams daily visited the lake,
hauling stones from its shores for building
purposes, the news soon snread to dis
lance all round. The work of quarrying
and hauling stones was soon abandoned.
and in a short time scores of teams and
hundreds of men might be seen on and
about the lake. The men, with hand
spikes, crow bars and axes, were busily
engaged in cutting and raising huge
pieces of ice, and then STOPPING down
and lifting the fish, some of which we're
dead, some alive, and some frozen fast in
the ice, for the water having departed
from the lake by some subterranean pas
sage, the vast sheets of ice lay on the
bottom.
For three days immense quantities of
fish were carried away, principally picker
land bass, while vast quantities of white
fish were left to rot on the ice and in the
mud-for mud and ice is all that is left
of Ottawa Lake, numerous pieces of ice
being left standing on edge, like SO many
grave stones. The lake or ratherits bed |
or graveyard. presents novel scene.
Some say the water viii soon return by
the same source by which it departed, |
bringing fresh supply of fish with it,
for Lake Erie is supposed to be its head |
quarters It will be well if it does, other |
wise sickness may be feared in the bury
ing ground of Ottawa Lake. In the |
meantime the farmers viii greatly feel |
-he loss of the departed waters. ~ |
About seven years ago, [ am told, this |
axe departed in the same way, and old |
men say it departs and returns periodical
