These Bonds, at present price Of gold, yield
over 9 per cent. interest, and as an investment
they are fully as secure as U. s. 5-20's, which
now only pay 3.4 per cent in currency.

have been obliged often to fall npon my own

come to us in great numbers for medicine and

command are so much in advance even Of

it brings. us in contact with them, and opens

It is said that Frederick the Great,
while taking walk one fine morning in
Berlin, met o small-sized Israelite who,
in that era of prejudice and persecution,
endeayored to avoid him. The bluff old
Frederick ordered him to stop, and
grimly inquired why ho attempted to
run away? because am afraid of
your majesty" was tho answer. s.In-
fernal scoundrel," cried the King in an
outburst of passion, 81 want everybody
to love me, not to fear NO." and lest the
offence should be repe0ted, he punished
it by sound thrashing on the spot.
The attitude which Prussia now holds
towards France is in some respects not
dissimilar to that of Frederick in this
incident above related. Prussia desired
the good will of Trance, but received
only hatred and sour looks. There was
no fear ON either side; but when France
threw down the gauntlet, Prussia took it
up without moments hesitation. The
result has thus far been disastrous to
French arms, and Prussia is now de-
termined to whip France into respect
full if not affectionate frame of mind.
Will she succeed? This is the vital
question. .-Ne,o Orleans Times.

"Crawford county system" is Crawford
county no Inore. AT the convention at
Meadville, day before yesterday, it was
decided to retnrn to the old delegate
system with such notifications as the
County Committee may deem advisable.
While a number Of counties in various
pa Is OF the country have recently declared
III its favor, it is significant fact that
the county which devised and named
this plan OF making nominations, pro
nOunces it failure. 1t is certainly no
less than that. With every year its de-
fects have becomes more apparent. In
Crawford county it has debarred men of
ordinary means from political position,
corrupted the people, aud was disorgan-
izing the party. We regret exceedingly
that the question of abolishing it caRssSt
be submitted TO the Republican party
of Erie county at the primary meetings
next year. Observation Of it's workings
thus far is enough 70 convince us of the
bad policy of continuing it. Gentlenlen
