not using money to influence the
election. This was shared in by
many ofhis enemies, and was free
ly spoken of by all. Iu fact, it
was known that several votes were
offered to him for money, but were
emphatically refused. This led
all his friends to believe everything
was being done "on the square, -

CORN FOR FUEL.


We are glad to see that many of
our citizens are taking advantage of
the low price of corn to Law in
heavy supplies of fuel. We have
experimental with it the past week,
and find that it is an admirable sub.
stitute for both wood and coal, and
that at present present prices there
Is both economy and comfort in its
use.
A ton Of corn. SO bushels, at Ii
cents per bushel, Is $500. We con-
slider this equal to cord of hard
wood, as supplied and measured in
our market, at 81 the cutting of this
cord, Sl.50; total $3.50. Thus max.
ing saving of SO cord.
Fer kitchen fuel it is superior To
any wood, except hickory, and
cheaper than that. 1t makes a very
hor fire with q great deal of blaze
We judge that three tons of corn
are equal TO one ton of hard coal
while in economy of its use it ii
equal to one and half of coal. In
small families and small houses
there is a great waste of hard coal
and there is none in the use of corn
Besides this there is the public ben
eft of retaining in the country al
the money we send to Pennsylvania
for corn and feed for farmers b,
consuming their products.-COunci

THE OLD BALL DRESS.
ny I. j. rR1cE.

Mrs. L,ngdon had sent out cards of invi
tation to her dear five hundred friends
Tor grand ball 1T her elegant residence on
Fifth Avenue. in honor Of the entrance ol
her twin daughters into society.
They had just been graduated Ut some
fashionable finishing off establishment
and their debut was intended TO be very
magnificent affair.
Mrs. Gregory, husband, and daughters
were on the invited list. AS the former
and two latter sat in their parlor, looking
at the elegant cards, with the interesting
suhiect under deep discussion, they were
broken in upon by the entrance of Mr..
Gregory, who looked harrassed and weary.

hand. "And there is the lovelest silk at

ing her white hand, flashing with jewels, on
his arm, and looking up into his lace.
Haven't you any dresses to wear?" he
asked, somewhat moodily.
"A plenty of old ones which have already
been worn, and will not answer for this
particular event. she returned.
GLOW much will it eost?T Mr.. Gregory
asked
"0h, perhaps hundred and fifty," said
Lena, carelessly, with as little idea Of the
value Of money as an upaedged bird.
Her father groaned and said something
about foolish extravagauce; !" then drawing
ont his pockst-book, slowly counted out
the required sum, and laid it on the table.
"How much do you want, Berthaf7 he
nsked, turning towards her.
"I don't think | want any, papa. L have

"What is the trouble with papaG What

The Usury Laws.

We copy the following article from the
Central Star, published at Goodman, Miss;
We have always regarded our present
usury laws as a clog upon trade ana com
merce, and arraigned them accordingly at
the bar of public opinion. The time, we
hope, is not far distant when they will no
longer cucumber our statute books
They tend to discourage capitalists from
coming among us. Men in their senses
have little or no ambition to violate the
laws Of the state they live in, and this they
do every time they let their money out at
any but the rate Of interest prescribed BY
the law-makers. There should be, in fact,
no laws upon the subject of money lending:
the inexorable law Of supply and demand
alone should determine its value in the
market. Left to that, money at times could
be obtained at mere nominal price in the
market, while at other times it would com
mand q premium, just as the market was
glutted or not. eRa9'a s'a
The owner Of money has the same right
to putt upon the market and ask and re-
ceive for the same the price agreed upon
between him as lender on the one hand,
and the man who proposes to borrow on
the other as the dealer in -four has for
asking aud receiving what his -four is really
worth in the market to the man who pro.
poses to buy it,

and with his eyes open, ought to be him

making such bargain in the way Of obtain.
ing money as he thinks fit, nor anybody
hindered from supplying him upon any
terms be sees proper to accedc TO-
II would, in conclusion, be just as rea-
sonable for Legislative body to pass a law
regulating the price Cf corn, Hour, or mules,
or horses, as for it to pass law regulating
the market value OF the thing called money.
Such hampering laws as we are now, consid,
erlng restrain only the more conscientious; /;
they have no influence upon the money lend
ers Of easy virtue, and the consequence is
the community il preyed upon BY d set Of
shylocks, who are as remorseless as they
are inscriptions in themeans they employ
to evadc the penalties Of the violated laws.
Let ms have done with our usury laws, as
every legislative restriction thrown around
capital retards to that extent the material
interests Of the state.

sad Visitation OF Providenoc

On Christmas morning sad and appalling
incident occurred at Christ Church in
Savannah, Ga. The News of that city says
that tie morning services had been conclud-
ed, and the candidates for confirmation, ten
in number, were invited TO the alter. OF
these was Miss Lizzie Spencer-a most esti-
mable young lady, about sixteen years ofage,
daughter of Capt. w. II. Spencer--who
was occupying seat in the middle Of the
gallery TO the right on entering the church.
She came down stairs and moved up the
aisle with the Others, her young face reveal
ing the deep seriousness which her heart.
felt. She approached the altar with the
others, and was confirmed according to the
rites Of the Church by Right Rev. Bishop
Beckwith. After the confirmation ceremonies
Miss Spencer returned TO her seat in the gal.

head sank forward on the railing. Those In
the vicinity attached no significance to this,

The anti-secret society epidemic has been
raging with peculiar virulence in one of the
Cincinnati Congregational churches The
pastor, Rev. Fl. D. Moore, permitted himself
to take little equestrian exercise, for his
health, upon the Masonic goat. Thereat
some his parishioners waxed indignant, and
gave effectual expression to their wrath by
refusing pecuniary support to the preacher.
The latter promptly took the crisis, OF the
goat, by the horns; told the recalcitrant Chris
tians in substance, that he believed in goat
riding as means of grace, and didn't care a
continental hot gridiron whether they liked it
or not; and gave notice that he would here
after conduct preachery of his own, on the
European plan, open to all-but no anti
Masons need apply. The old church, mean
while, has appointed committee to hunt up
a new preacher, with particular instructions
to see that there are no surface indications of
membership in the capraean cavalry about
candidates.

SALMON P. CHASE enjoyed the eminent dis
tinction of being the only citizen of Ohio
who ever filled the four highest positions in
the government--Governor, United States
Senator, Secretary of the Treasury, and
member of the Supreme Court of the United
States. Thomas Corwin had three of them.
General Harrison was Governor of the In
dian Territory, Senator and President. But
none before Chase ever held the four honors.
This is the more remarkable since he es-
poused a cause which, when he was forty
years of age, had only raised him to the po-
sition Of member of the City Council of Gin
cinnati, and which then could not poll twenty
thousand votes in any State in the Union.
