A Boston Journal correspondent re-
lates this of 'poor pastor without
parish" in Brooklyn: On his way home
he went into store and asked for bill
of goods on credit until the next week.
The storekeeper blandly but firmly re-
fused. The poor fellow went to his
home sadly enough. There was Moth
ing to eat in the house. He called his
wife and children together, told them
he was penniless and without food, and
said: "My dear children, there is no
help from man, let US go TO God" The
little household knelt in prayer and
went supperless to bed. Between 10
and IL o'clock the family were aroused
by loud knocking at the door. The
husband went down and found a gentle
man waiting TO see him. He was we'll
known merchant of the city, and knew
nothing of the distress of the family, or
that the household was in want. Ad-
dressiD g himself to the occupant of the
house, he said: ''You may be surprised
to see me here at this time of night. l
undertook to- go to bed, but ] could not
sleep. 1 felt it my duty to come here.
tried to shake it off, but / could not,
and here | am to see if your family
want anything" The man told his sto-
ry from the fullness of his heart. His
friend left with him sum of money,
and promised to sec the family earlv on
Monday morning. Late as it was: the
relieved gentleman went out for his
Sunday supply, and spent the night
in thanksgiving.

FARMERS, KEEP AcCouHrs.-The
North Western Farmer says: aFarm-
ers who never keep accounts, and of
course are nearly always in debt, year
ly have enormous store bills to surprise
them They doubt the honesty of mer-
chants, and families are berated for ex-
travagance. Receipts and expenditures
are never noted the profits and losses
in any branch of farming are unknown.
Uneonsciously debts multiply, for It re-
quires much less time and ability to dis
pose of money than to acquire it. Ac-
counts properly kept would admonish
them when to spend and check up !.
CareIessness in one particular is apt to
foster and beget carelessness in others
consequently, such farmers have little
System in the building of residences,
barns and out-houses. Fences are poor
~ Kept up, ana systematic rotation Of
crops is seldom practieed.7

The public debt statement, showing
the changes during the past month, will
withstanding the unusually large de.
mands upon the Treasury, which have
been promptly met, there has been q
further net reduction in the debt of &c.
O07, 49S, making an annual saving of
interest of over half q million dollars.
Since the commencement of Grants
administration the debt has been reduc-
ed, including the 100000 of bonds
purchased last week, $3.50, 500, 900, which
causes an annual saving in interest of
S10,S30.O00. Still the good work goes
on, and the Treasury Is in a condition
to buy more bonds and save more inter-
est.

WoMAN's CoURAGE.-Under the above
head the Solomon Valley Pioneer tells
the following story of 8 plucky young
woman:
Mr.. Talcott, of Genesee county, New
York, came to this frontier some
months ago, to homestead a claim and
settle here, leaving his wife and two
children to follow him as soon as he
had erected house and got things rea-
dy for their reception. He sent for
them in July last. Mrs. Talcott imme-
diately disposed of such things as she
did not require to bring with her, and
purchased a wagon and team, and start
ed, with only herself and two children,
for her new home In the far west, where
she safely arrived early last month ;
having teamed the whole of the enor-
nous distance from New York to Kan
sas by her own unaided courage and en-
ergy, although she is but twenty-six
years of age.

A North Adams correspondent says !:
Already Mr.. Sampson, the Chinese
shoe manufacturer, gains two dollars a
case in the cost of his shoes over the old
tariff of prices, and he expects to re-
duce the cost by at least six dollars q
case by the new year. He has spent
$4,000 in his experiment, so that it will
be some time yet before even this reduc-
ton turns the result of the investment
to the profit side of the balance iheet.
He feels that the investment is well
worth the sum it has cost and is so far
from regreting it from any cause that he
contemplates speedily reinforcing his
factory by new set of Chinese appren-
tees from California.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Now that
it is definitely known that Senator
Williams viii not return 10 the SEN
ate, It is said the President will ten
der him the position of Solicitor Gen.
eral of the United States. This Of
Zee, with a salary of $1,000 year,
was created during the last session Of
Congress, but has never been llled.
A very formidable effort is being
made to have the President revoke
the appointment of Vice Admiral
Rowan. Numerous charges have
been made against him, which tend
to show that his promotion was not
within The spirit Of the law. 1t the
President fails to recognize the
charges, they will be made to the
Senate, with a view to Rowan re-
lection.
A letter was received here, to- day,
from Judge Orth. saying that there
is no truth in the report that he has
been rendered the English mission.
The report comes from Georgia,
that Attorney General Alderman is In
very poor health, and is thinking Sc
riously of resigning his position.
