United states Ronas in Europe.

The London Times Getty articlel Of Nov. II says:
According to recent statistics the United States
stl continue by the remittance Ol bonds 10 pay for
an excess OF impOFtattOns from Europe at the rate
of many millions sterling per annum. The prinCi-
pal financial writers of New York and Philadelphia
from time to time urge their readers to consider
now long this ~ to 60 on.
To merchants and capitalists on this side the
question Is equally HtODteHf0ua. transference Of
several millions sterling of bonds from American 10
European holders amounts simply To the fact That
for every future year the United States govern
ment must remit to Europe proportionate sum in
the shape of interest which, ii the bonds had not
been sold would have been payable to parties at
home Hence, although the national debt may be
stationary as regards its nominal amount, or may
even be steadily reduced, its burden az drain
upon the internal resources Of the country must
rapidly increase. Such increase, however, Will Of
not be felt 50 long as the sale OF bonds con-
tinues to be kept up in more than prOpOrtionate
degree. But it does not follow that sale Of ma
tional obligations to foreigners, and the cOnse-
quent creation of an annual liability to remit an
amount of interest to them, must necessarily be
Instantaneous. The bonds sent to Europe are
Sold not given to the takers, and the point IL, do
the Americans get commodity in return that may
be equal in annual productive power to the amount
of interest they have agreed TO pay in consideration
for it? If such be the case there is no injury TO
either party. Surprising they elected to receive
gold and were to lock 1t up, there would be then
dead annual loss of the interest they were
paying; or, suppOsing that instead they
were to receive consignments Of silks, wines
other perishabe or consumable articles
of luxury they would then be worse of, since they
would have through all time the dead weight OF
animal interest in place Of having gold or its
equivalent in store, by parting with which
they might at any given period eXtinguish the
liability. On the other hand, if the money re-
ceived from Europe for the bonds were expended
in Improvements in land, in the construction OF
profitable railways or other public works. or in the
importation of labor, the result from augmented
production might not merely compensate for the
payments to be made, but yield a constantly in
creasing surplus II is for those who interest
ed either as investors or otherwise 10 form their
own opinion as to the degree in which these sever
al modes prevail At the same time it Is always
necessary to recollect that people who are liable
for debt are apt to complain OF its burden while
they entirely forget the benefits it may have
brought to them, and that an annual heavy pay
ment to foreigners has much more dangerous
element of unpopularity than would exist m the
case of a liability held exclusively at home

sUFFERINGs OF A MATRIMONIAL
CANDIDATE,
Terrible Mistake of a Tailor,

-EASeeA12C VI a hIAOEs
CHAPTER 1.
A few evenings since there might have
been seen in a room in this city young
man busy, not with the affairs of State. but
OF something more important to him at
that particular moment 1t was about 7
o'clock when negro boy entered his door
and delivered TO him a bundle which con-
tanned new suit of clothes Just from the
tailor shop. The bundle was carelessly
deposited on the bed and the negro took
his departure.
CHAPTER II.
In another portion of the city, in the
mansion of a well known citizen, had as
sembled large company of young folks,
who were waiting patiently the arrival of
young man, who at s o'clock that evening,
according to announcement, would lead to
the altar one of Nashvilles most accom-
plshed daughters. The appointed hour
had arrived, the preacher was in attend
ance and everything in readiness for the
nuptlals, but the bridegroom cometh not.
A half hour elapsed, and still the expected
visitor came not t tt4 &stt}s
CHAPTER III.
We return again to the hero Of this story.
1t is half-past o'clock, and the gas is
burning brightly in his chamber. Several
good friends are with him, and jocund
sounds proceed from the quarter of the
building in which the young man is To-
Gated. But the young man himself is not
in laughing vein, but on the contrary,
distress and disappointment is marked
upon hitherto unelouded brow. He was
twenty-one years of age that night. He was
Oh RofY
able size, say about one hundred and forty
pounds in weight, and his handsome figure
had often been the subject of remark. At
the hour above mentioned he was standing
in front of mirror, arranging his toilet.
His boots were highly polished, his white
neck-tie was properly adjusted, his coat
was a perfect fit, and a delicately figured
white satin vest was prominent part of
his dress, but little singular, he had not
yet donned his pantaloons.
CHAPTER ".
A few minutes after the loud laughing
that proceeded from that room, there was
a rap at the door, and in rushed a gentle
man who turned out to be the tailor. He
had bundle under his arm, and his APP
pearance was evidently of great relief to
the young man whose countenance seemed
for the moment to beam with delight
''How is this, said the young man, ad-
dressing the tailor, 'the pantaloons you
sent me are by far too large" "Oh yes, !"
said the tailor, 'it was one grand mis-
take" ''The pantaloons 1 sent you were
made for Sam Riddleberger, and in tying
up the packages, the boy placed your pants
in the wrong bundle. The remainder OF
this highly thrilling narrative will be pub
lished in the next number of the Battle
Axe of Freedom and Grabbing Hoe OF
Truth.
