A man in Cincinnati had $4,000 in

backs. With his greenbacks he purcnas-
ed 100000 worth of United States bonds.
He took the bonds to the United States
Depository, deposited them and drew sso'-
900 in national bank notes. He makes
9l4 900 by loaning his national notes and
gets Sc, 900 interest on his bonds, equal TO
$8.400 in greenbacks. In all he makes
$22, 400 interest year in greenbacks On
his original investment of $40, 900 in god,
This man is nov clamorous that his bonds
shall be paid in gold, and is doing all ne
can for Grant and Colfax.

WHAT INDUSTRY WILL Do.-The Messen.
ger says "there is seventeen year old boy
living 10 country below Macon who has
twenty-one acres planted in cotton. He
hired one man early in the spring, prepared
the land, bought about 500 worth Of gu
ano and put upon it. After getting it
planted he started to school, which be has
regularly attended during the summer, with
the exception Of about two weeks, which
his crop required. He works an hour or
two every morning. in the afternoon and
every Saturday. His cotton is looking
very fine, and he expects to get at least
fifteen bales off of the twentY-0ne acres.
Estimating each bale at 500 pounds, and
that will get 25 cents per pound, the gross
receipt will be Sl.875. His entire expen-
ses, including abe guauo, will not be over
$5OO-which will leave 81 1915 as the neat
earnings Of this school boy. Give him the
benefit of every doubt, and he will surely
make 81 900 clear. We commend this to
young men mourning over their fate. COM
