one OF the most nagniAcent spectacles Of the
KIND ever witnessed in this latitude, seems to
nave exhibited equally remarkable effects in
various sections of the country, and many Of the
teiegraph operators succeeded in working with.
out batteries, using the electricity furnished
from natures laboratory. In this city the lights
would occasionally shoot mp from the horizon
70 the zenith, extending almost from due east
70 west Between 8 and 9 O'Clock a silvery
belt was seen high in the south west, and at IL
O'Clock very singular phenomena occurred
The lights were shooting MP with remarkable
brilliancy, while over the whole, brilliant cor.
uscations shot in rapid succession. Hundreds
Of cifzens gathered upon the corners and open
places TO gaze upon the magnificent spectacle.
At Richmond, at 8 O'Clock, a belt OF white
appeared across the sky from east to west. IL
drifted north, crossing, and to some extent ob.
scurins. the moon, then gathered as fan closes
and disappeared. At Ph,ladelphia remarkable
dlspiays occurred, being the greatest since the
electrlc storm OF 1859. Broad bands of red ana
green light, reaching from the east TO the west
ern norlEon, as Tar south as the eye could reach
were visible, suddenly changing into knots,
whicn sent forth broad rays in every direction
during It's continuance the Western Un ION Tel
egraph Company worked lines from this city
10 the western portion of the State without the
use OF the batteries at either end At Bllti-
more the entire northern hemisphere, from east
t0 west 10 the Zsni'h, was lilo u,nined bv an un-

1t was honest old Ben Franklin, we be.s

followed up small account he paid to.a

aseertained that the money paid the

bic to do as Franklin did, and trace up
the history Of small amount Of money
in tho ay,of debt-payingj but It may
DO set down as fact that the prompt
payment Of small debts is the initiative
step towards cash for sverything.-
Generally speaking, these small debts arc
duo to persons who need all tho capital
they can conmand. To such, they are Of
immense Importance; and it may be
said Of tho person who allows these trif-
ling obligations to remain unpaid while
having the means to discharge them,
that he is not, in the truo sense Of the
word an honest man, unless, by express
contract, timo for payment has been
fixed, and that not arrived. Pay your
