THERE is an old English Easter custom,
which, we regret to say, is not practiced
in America. In many parts Of the mother
country the men have the privilege of lift
ing from the ground and kissing all the
women they meet on the Kings highway
This was only allowed on Easter Monday.
On Easter Tuesday the women had like
privilege, and we may be assured they
seldom failed to take advantage of it.

THE success Of President Grant, as con-
trasted with the previous administration
in reducing the debt of the country, is
very clearly set forth by the correspondent
of an Eastern paper, except he fails to

quantities of war material On the LIST Of
August, 1866, the principal of our liqui-
dated national debt amounted to $685.

due thereon, which must have raised
the total to at least twenty-eight hun
dred millions of dollars, whereof the
| annual interest amounted to $751;
832,051, or very nearly half mill
lion dollars for each day in the
week but Sunday. AT the close of Mr..
Johnson's administration March 1, 1869
the principal had been reduced 1924 $685.

annual interest of $126, $3.50, $50. That il
to say, the interest was reduced, not mere

but by the conversion of seven-thirties int

THE New York Tribune argues continu-
ally in favor of paying the National debt
in the shortest time possible. The fact
that a nation, like an individual, may be
SO situated that it will be better to post
pone payment for while, rather pay
gradually, and use some of the earnings in
development, whereby the debt-paying
capacity will be many fold increased, is
totally ignored by the Tribune. 1t says
mills are not stopped and manufactures
kept going, which is qualifedly true but
let us tell the Tribune that the policy has
a REFRESHING effect, and is virtually the
policy of the farmer selling off strip
of his land to pay at once, when,
under a more gradual policy, be would
be able to improve his land, make it
productive, and finally with comparative
ease pay all and keep the land. There is
such thing as employing capital to obtain
the means wherewith to pay debt, and
there is another of depressing such employ
ment and eating into the capital itself.
True, the debt will be paid-a debt that
