of securing virtue. That means is the re-
ligion which people accept and adopt
l care not. in this respect, whether that
religion be true or false The only true
religion must certainly be more eficacious
when rightly administered than any false
faith. If false, their morals may fall be-
low, but certainly will not rise above the
requirements of their faith. Assuming
ours to be the only divinely revealed re-
igion, submit the following propositions:
The Christian religion is an all-sufhcient
and efficient moral agent among those who
recognize its binding force.
1t affords sufficient opportunity for the
cultivation of all the virtues and for the
development of honesty and sobriety.
1t affords sufficient opportunity for dis
playing by example all the known virtues.
It's merits are more attractive than the
merits of any male moral society.
Its influence may be brought to bear al
most from the very moment of our birth.
and never parting company until death.
In this country, it molds public opinion.
and may reach and restrain all classes. if
it will, through the power of public opin-
ion, keeping within the confines of moral
ity and temperance those on whom it ex.
ercises no higher influence

A Great Chicken Exhibition.

The New York State Poultry Society n
nounces that its first annual fair will commence
on March % and close on March ~. This fair
will be held in the Empire City Skating Rink
building, Third avenue, Sixty-third and Sixty
fourth streets. II will doubtless be q great
chicken exhibition, whether dead cocks iu the
pit or political dead ducks be included In L cs
not The object Of the society is the improve
ment and more thorough dissemination Of tho
breeding Of poultry and other small animals,
an object Of no inconsiderable national import
ance In view Of the fact that the use of the
flesh and eggs Of domestic fowls is probably.
throughout the habitable globe, more general
than that Of any other two articles Of human
food. In France poultry culture has become
one of the most profitable branches of domestic
industry, the total value Of its roducts having
been for several Years not less than two
hundred and Aity million francs per annum;
and reliable estimates show that the total value
exceeds one hundred million dollars per
annum In the United States.
The approaching fair OF the New York State

from England and France about twenty years
ago. This hen fever first broke out virulently
In Massachusetts,. IL was almost as costly al
the famous tulip mania in Holland. All
classes In New England were attacked by il
and II soon spread extensively throughout the
Union. A genuine imported Shanghae cock
was worth as much as good horse. Two
hundred dollars and three hundred dollars have
been paid for q single bird and three dollars
piece for eggs Publishers took advantage
Of the excitement, and volumes on volumes
upon the subject Of poultry breeding
Of them costly illustrated works-were issued
from the press and eagerly purchased. Many
spectators realized fortunes from the preva-
lent mania. Those birds that travelled ON

most highly esteemed, and many a fancier

TIE LEGAL RATE OF INTEREST. PROPOSE
tion is now before the Legislature so TO amend
the State law as to permit the parties to q
mortgages to agree upon the rate Of interest,
which shall IL no case exceed ten per cent.
The Western States, particularly Illinois, are
the beneflciaries of q law fixing the legal rate
Of interest at ten per cent the effect Of which
is to attract large amounts Of Eastern capital
A mortgage has an unpopular sound, but those
who are patrons Of savings banks forget that
the interest money paid them Is derived from
this class Of investment, these institutions pay
Ing six and earning seven per cent on deposits
A modification Of the law as proposed by the
bill introduced In the Legislature would keep q
great deal Of capital at home In the State and
stimulate numerous enterprises which languish
from the want offunds to inaugurate them, while
the savings banks would be enabled topay their
depositors eight or nine per cent. The general
law allows gas companies and similar corpora
tions to earn ten per cent upon their investments
Why should not the private capitalists have
the same privilegef

AS IT WAS AND AS IT Is.-The last Official
act of President johnson was to pocket the
bill to strengthen the public credit, and the
first bill signed by President Grant was this
bill. The last official recommendation to Con-
gress on the national debt from johnson was
that the interest should be taken to pay the
principal, and the first official declaration from
Grant was that principal and interest must be
paid to the last farthing. We are sorry for
johnson to some extent, but we rejoice In

THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY FORE
SHADOWS PART OF HIS PoLIoY.-Yes
the Committee of Ways and Means waited
upon the Secretary Of the Treasury, and the
ceremonies of formal interview were gone
through. Although no developments Of .
general character transpired, the expression
of the Secretary, that he had decided upon
public instead of private sales of government
gold, may be regarded as the policy which win
actuate the future operations Of the Treasury
Department in that respect.
