Gathering of the Changers.

A grand picnic and mass meeting,
under the auspices of the Scott
County Farmers Club, came of
near Winchester, ILL.,, on the 18th
of August. The day was beautiful,
and the attendance of farmers wives
and daughters from all parts of the
county exceeded 1900 persons. The
meeting was addressed by Hon. w. c.
Flagg, S. NJ. Smith and other speakers.
Surrounding the speakers stand were
numerous banners conspicuously dis
played, bearing the following sentiments
and notices

Night Air.

An extraordinary fallacy is the dread
of night air. What air can we breathe
at night, but night air? The choice is
between the pure night air from without
and foul night air from within. Most
people prefer the latter. An unaccount-
able choice. What will they say, if it
is proved to be true that fully one half
of all the diseases we suffer from is &C.
casioned by people sleeping with their
windows shut? An open window, most
nights in the year, can never hurt any
one. This is not to say that light is not
necessary for recovery. In great cities,
night air is often the best and purest air
to be had in the twenty -four hours. L
could better understand shutting the
windows in town during the day than
during the night, for the sake of the
sick. ens .ssf I. >.4 vs~s4s

Interest ON Capital.

We extract the following remarkable
facts from lecture by Rev. w. P.
Groom, editor of the New York INcr-
camille Journal, and think they cannot
fail to be of interest as illustrating the
rapid increase of capital when well in
vested.
Many men carelessly conclude that
three per cent. is just one-half of six
per cent. But this is not the case, as
will be seen from the following state
ment of facts:
If one dollar be invested, and the in
terest added to the principal annually
at the rates first named, we shall have
the following result as the accumulation
of one hundred years

A gentleman In Greenpoint, last Sat-
urday afternoon, exhibited to few in
vited guests model-boat propelled by
a continuance entirely new, at least I'M
tried hitherto In its application to steam
boat propulsion. The model was
about two feet long, shaped like a craft
intended rather for carrying freight than
for speed, resembling in its lines and
proportions an ordinary coal barge The
propelling continuance is simply an
elongated rudder, made of two flexible
slabs, which for practical use will be
made of short and narrow pieces of
wood, fitting closely together and SWING
from straight piece that forms the top
edge of the ru1der, leaving the lower
part to be acted upon by spirally-
curved rod that revolves inside of the
rudder, imparting to it's flexible sides
the serpentine or eel-like motion that
drives the boat though the water, by a
principle of resistance similar to that of
the ordinary propeller. The inventor
feels certain that very high rate of
speed for boats can be attained with this
propeller. He disclaims any designs on
the canals, simply aiming at q principle
for navigating shallow waters. The
motion of the little two-foot model
through the water was stately and very
easy, just like that of large vessel, and
with sufficient velocity to demonstrate
effectually the success of the /" eel
motion as the inventor calls it-for
driving boats-at least on small scale
at fair rate of speed through the
water.-NeW York Times.

There are probably few, however, IA
miliar with the subject of rapid increase
of capital put at interest, who would
not be startled at the statement that the
cost of the outfit of Christopher Colum-
bus, in his first voyage of discovery,
put at interest at six per cent, would,
by this time, have amounted to more
than the entire money value of this con-
tinent, together with the accommodations
from the industry of all who have lived
upon it. If any doubt this, let them
reckon the amount, estimating the en-
tire outfit to have cost only the small
sum of five thousand dollars, and re-
member that money doubles at six per
cent. in less than twelve years-or accu-
rately, in eleven years, ten months, and
twenty-one days. Allowing it to double
every twelve years, this five thousand
dollars at interest at six per cent. since
1892, it will be found, would have
amounted to ST, 1916, 700, 600, 900, which,
estimating the population of the entire
continent of America North and South
to be eighty-five millions, or seven mil
lion families (averaging five members
each), would give more than a million
dollars as possession OF, every one of
hose. Tie interest upon million dol
lars at six per cent. is sixty thousand
dollars, which would now be the princely
annual income of these seven million
families, from the accumulations up to
this time upon SO small sum as that
named for the discoverer
In Hildreth's History of the United
States" it is stated that Manhattan
Island, afterwards called New Amster-
dam, now called New York, was bought
by the Dutch from the Indians for
sixty guilders, or twenty-four dollars,
and this only two hundred and fifty
years ago. And yet if the purchaser
could have securely placed that twenty
four dollars where it would have added
to the principal annually, at the rate of
seven per cent, the accumulation
would exceed the present market value
of all the real estate of the city and
county of New York
Again, if a man at the age of twenty
five should commence business with a
capital of one hundred thousand dol
lars, and could by any possibility add
thereto interest at our legal rate OF
seven per cent. annually, the result
would be Gin round numbers) as follows

witnesses examined was a farmer. who saw
Murderer Beane after the collision. and was
told by him that he forgot" all about the
passenger train. The testimony of the en-
gineer of the freight train, who was brought
in from prison under guard, gave no new in
formation except some facts concerning Con-
ductor Beane's general inefficienoy, whom he
said he did not consider a competent man.

loss of time by his watch. but did not make it

Now the growth of national wealth is
only about three and one-eighth per
cent. per annum, Notwithstanding the
assertion of those who have placed it
much higher, though comparing the old
valuations with the new (which have
been greatly increased), instead of tax
ing as the base of their calculations, as
they should have done, the actual num-
Der of horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, etc.,
at the different periods. 1t is plain,
therefore, that the great mistake most
men make is in attempting to use hor-
rowed capital at an immensely high
rent, ordinarily termed interest, which,
by the use of gold as currency, is often
forced still higher. While the growth
of the national wealth remains at the
present rate, the average man who at
tempts to pay even seven per cent. for
all the capital he can get, should not
expect to avoid bankruptcy as the re-
suit. fr-sf s.f

others were gasping for air and crying for
water. On the journey home two men died,
and eight dead bodies were born to the
Morgue. Most of the wounded were taken to
the County Hospital, some to the West Side
Briggs House, and others to the Gault House,
while several whose injuries were of a slight
nature went to their homes or selected such
hotels as they thought fit. During Sunday
and Monday other deaths were reported and
on Monday evening the total number of
deaths had reached thirteen. Five more are
reported so badly injured as to be beyond all
hopes of recovery, and no doubt the list of
killed will reach twenty before the middle of
the week
The Chicago papers of the 10Th give further
particulars of the disaster. The number of
dead has been swelled to seventeen, and will
probably be increased to still higher figure,

not possibly recover. The total number of
