SENATOR PRATr.-The Philadelphia
Day in commenting on the resignation
of Senator Pratt, pays him the follow
ing compliment: rHA 20 zs
Mr.. Pratt's explanation is. that the
Senate docs not suit men of his class;
that he docs not feel at home in the
Senate Chamber that he continually
distrusts his own ability; that he is of
no use to his constituents, and, in short,
that he wants to go home That is q
most remarkable case of modesty in a
man regarded rs a politician, and goes
far toward proving that Mr.. Pratt is o
proper man for Senater, for it is always
a good sign in man for him to know
his own defects. Mr.. Pratt is regarded
as an able man by hi 8 own people, who
had elected him "a their Representative
in Congress just before his election to
the Senate, which occurred without any
effort on his part, if not without his pre-
vious knowledge. Physically, he is the
largest man in Congress, and his mod
est opinion of himself indicates that he
is one Of the best men in that body.

PAYING SMALL DEBrs.-The Boston
(Mass), journal contains the following
sensible and timely remarks, based upon
the subject at the head OF this article,
which we commend to the careful peru
sal and active practice of our numerous
DIR. Franklin once originated out of
his eminently philosophical head plan
which still exists-for making a small
amount Of n. oney execute great amount
Of benevolence, by passing through n
succession of hands. That, however, is
precisely what most men can do at this
season Of tile year by discharging tire
simple and ebvioas duty Of paying up
their small debts small to them, per>
hars but large to their creditors of hum
BILE means. A five dollar bill started on
such On errand would GO through such
quick and extended traEsmigratiors as
would astonish one capable Of marking
it's progress. Given to the washerwo-
m n, it goes to the butcher, the baker,
the candlestit@z MAKER divides up
among the doctor. the minister and the
music. teacher; while some of it lodges in
the walls of anew church, or starts for
Asia under the auspices Of the A B. G.
f. NJ. And yet it is the easiest thing in
the world TO shut the catchy closing
the pocket-book--on all this round of
Just payments and possible beneyolence..
We keep the money due till we are
dunned for it, forgetting the numerous
constituency who ure interested in our
being prompt as we'll as honest When
we use the phrase 'to keep square with
the world we onght to remember that
the world is represented in our smallest
no less than in our largest creditors.
These considerations are peculiarly
applicable ut the present time, when
business is dali and money comes hard.
If the dollar bills are scarcer than usual,
each one ought surely to be kept moving
rapidly and doing as much as possible
And this is accomplished by attending
in season to the small payments. These
are to society what the rootlets are to q
tree--its constant feeders, keeping it
alive and fourishing, even when the tap
roots are cut off. There are thousands
around us, however, to whom these it
tie debts, especially at the close OF the
year, are all in all They shrink from
asking for their payment. at the same
time that Meir creditors have no such
modesty, but are enforcing their de-
mands with harsh and threatening
words. Let every business man, then,
make it point to square up these small
matters, and thus relieve those who. it
may be, are in actual distress. besides
making money easy at a critical time in
the community, and enjoying serene
satisfaction, to which the Apostle re-
erred, of OWN g no man anything.

A FIRM in New York recently sent to
the United States Treasurer $50 Cont
mental bank note, asking if it is redeem
able. In reply, the Treasurer states that
the Continental money was never re-
deemsble by the United States. By the
act Of August 4, 1890 q Statutes 140), it
was receivable at the Treasury in sub
scriptIons to loan, at the rate of one
hundred dollars in Continental to one dol
Jar in specie. By the act of March 3,
1897 Il Statutes, $50, it was declared that
said money should be receivable as above
until December 81, 1907, and No longer.
He also adds, the only value the note can
possibly have is as curiosity, and that
without doubt it is counterfeit one.
