Mr.. Beach is a man of some seventy
years and has been rapidly failin g from
consumption Tor a long time and watch
ing for a chance with the determinati. on
to make life short He at length succeeded
in getting hold of a pen-knife which was
secreted in the bureau in the room where
he was. The deed was done while left
alone for a moment.
A family by the name of II ussey resid-
ing near the depot at this place was
startled by an accident which occurred
among three OF their children who had
been given loaded revolver to play
with. The oldest of the three while
fiOurishing it around discharged the
load taking off finger from a sister and
then lodging in the shoulder of the babe
in the cradle.
The gravel train Engine upon the A.
J. d F. r. r. ran off the track between
the depot and Harbor about 8 O'Clock
this morning smashing up several ears
and damaging the Engine considerable.
The new depot under process of erect

completed, which will soon be done.

The Berlin POlkszeituh9 gives most
revolving picture of the life dragged out
by slaves in Peru who are owned by
Germans now living in Germany. One
of these wretches had power over ,luO
coolies. who, under cover of the revolver
and the stripes of the whips of thirty
six oyerseers, work from early morning
till late at. night, year in and year out,
not even having a respite on Sunday.
Their food is two pounds of rice each
day and nothing else. Many of them
are loaded with chains, and at night all
sleep in stall surrounded by bull dogs
and most closely watched. In this
maaner-which recalls the outrageous
conduct of Sonnenkamp in Auerbach' 5
"Villa on the Rhine''-their tyrant has
amassed fortune of 5000 900. In
one year another German, who doubtless
shouted with the londest when "Freheit
und Licht'' was the watchwOrd, burned
the corpses of thirty-siy of these unfor-
tunates merely to strike terror into the
survivors, whose faith assures them thai
there is no resurrection from thOsewhOse
bodies are thus disposed of. German
consuls in Peru, Cuba. and Macao might
do good service to humanity by looking
into the matter.

The Cincinnati Times and Chronicle
has at last dropped it, double name, to
the great convenience of all wishing to
refer to it, and to the delight of those
whose ears are susceptible to the euphO-
MES of nomenclature. Hereafter it will
appear rs the Times.
"Gface Greenwood" intimates that
never one of the nOminaliy masculine
writers of the press will make the man
that Miss Susan p. Anthony is. If this
be so the prosecution Of Miss Anthony
for Illegal voting falls TO the ground, and
she becomes instead amenable to indict-
ment for masquerading in female ap-
parel.

LINCOLN, July Sth, 1873.
When Falstaff sent his page TO Master
Dumbleton for satin cloak, and offered
his bond and Bardolph's for payment
the answer was that the ''tailor liked
not tile security.'' The Knight called
Dumbleton rascally knave to stand
upon security, and cried, 81 would as
lieve they would put ratsbane in my
mouth as stop it with security" He
who goes borrowing, goes q sorrowing.
Not only Shyloeks, but most capitalists
are deaf to borrowers, because they, as
well as Falstaff7s tailor, "like not the Sc
curity." Capitalists will not lend a
poor man money. They demand secur-
ity. AS he cannot endorse, others will
not endorse for him. He has no lands,
no chattels, on which he can give mort
gage. Where he is sanguine that he
can pay the money he wishes to bor-
row, they say to him, ''you may be rob-
bed or cheated, or your Investment may
be burned up and your insurance worth
less, or you may aDscond' or your death
may blight the brightest prospects,
'swe like not your security" 1t is a
"castle in the air.
Again, capitalists shun putting their
investments into the hands of any poor
stranger. They are distrustful of his
honesty where is chance for fraud !;
| of his competence, where skill is deman-
.!ed; of his zeal, where he has no inter-
est at stake; and of his vigilance, where
| there are temptations to negligence. He
! might carve out his fortune, but no one
will trust him with the tools.
But must capital and labor needs be
hostile? Is there no way in which capi-
talsts can be just to themselves, and yet
generous to borrowers? Yes, they can.
! How? By land sales on ten years. credit,
and six per cent. interest. The borrow
or cannot be cheated out of land which
is not decided to him till he has finished
paying for it. He cannot run away
cannot lessen its value. The labor and
money he lays out on. it will increase
that value. He cannot strip it of lum-
| ber, more than he can pull hair from n
bald head. Nor in such Il loan is his
honesty, competence, zeal or vigilance
distrusted. He is stimulated to the eX-
ercise Of them all by his fear of losing
the sum he paid in advance, together with
whatever he lays out to improve his farm,
and by his hope of making it pay for
itself, and support him and his. Other
borrowing dulls the edge of thrift-tnis
slIarpens it.
The Burlington &Missour; River Rail :
road Co.., within thirth-three months on
ward from April, 1870, sold in Iowa and
Nebraska, ,9SS acres, to 1925 pur-
chasers, mostly ten years. credit, at six
per cent. interest. The purchasers av-
erage one hundred and eight acres
apiece.
Thus the y. q M. road has furnished
i, ,525 loans, amounting, in the aggregate,
to 81 ,G56, ,499,. to men, most Of whom,
would have been unable to borrow from
banks, or any other source. It's long
credit sales have given them tools to
work with. So it makes borrowers and
lenders friendly, alfording lenders secu-
rity, and borrowers all the loans they can
use, and tools such us will, in most cases,
pay for themselves. lie who gives us n
chance to help ourselves is the best help

TIE visit of the Shah to England has
been the subject Of great elaboration, if
not of great accuracy of detail, and news
paper reporters have revelled in glow
ing descriptions which, if all true, cer-
tainly prove that eminent parsonage to
be no less remarkable in appearance
than in habits and disposition. The
German press, in particular, seems to
have formed the most bewilderingly con-
fiictIng opinions-so much so, indeed,
that the BerliRer TrespeR has taken the
trouble to collect all the information
given to the public upon the subject and
produces rather remarkable portrait
of the Persian monarch in this style:
The Shah is corpulent, thin, of a noble,
thoroughly vulgar mein; tall, very short,
and wears black. remarkably variegated
entire yellow uniform. His eyes are dim
and fiery. He observs accurately, looks
on everything with indifference. and wears
gold spectacles made of steel. He is al
most entirely bald, and conical cap OF
cloth constantly covers his luXuriant fall
ing hair. Hedrinks Mederia and Cham
pagne exclusively, and let's nothing pass
his lips but water. Gentle rs he is he took
great pleasure in the roaring of the beasts
at the Geological Gardens and reioIced
with his native cruelty mt the banquets
presented to him there. He likes nothing
hut voluptuous table and the ballet, and
came to Europe only in the interest of his
people to learn the progress OF civilization.
Towards ladies he is in general very gal
liant, severe, tender, and wild. He is for
ty-two years of age, born in 1913. ana has
been already Il quarter of a century on the
Persian throne, the ornament of which he
has become in this short period OF his
reign, and on which it has been impossible
for him to gain the love of his people.

PoMERoY's DemOcrdt has evolved the
following statistics concerning. the new
method of transmitting government mat
Ter through the mails, as adopted since
July first ''The amount of stamps is
sued to the neutrality-suspicious. with
which to pay postage on government
matter going through the mails for the
first quarter of the fiscal year is as fol-
lows: The President, $50; State De-
partment, $20,749; Treasury Depart
ment, 5000, 900: War Department, $27,-
746; Navy Department, $500; Interi-
or Department, $50, POI; Department of
Justice, 81, $50; Department of Agrieul-
ture, $6,530; Post Office Department,
$53 ,3lO-total, $371 ,O23. In addition to
this stamps have been sent to 30, 600 post
masters with which to communicate
with Post Office authorities in Washing
ton to the amount of $2G7 ,0Sl, making a
geand total of $G3G, ,l05.,, The cost of
printing and engraving these stamps is
not computed, but when all the figures
are put together it makes avery fOrmida-
BILE show, and does not encourage us to
feel that the abolition of the franking
privilege is going to be snch fearful
saving after all. When the press and
people asked that this privilege be
abolished there were some things they
did not care to have done. They did
not, in the first place, care to have the
free Transmission of official Government
matter interfered with; nor did they
design that postage should be paid on
papers circulated in the county, where
published, nor OH exchange papers.
There was no reason to think that these
privileges had been abused to any seri-
Ous degree. The whole trouble with the
franking privilege was that it had been
grossly abused by members of Congress,
who had burdened the mails with every
species of useless matter, from a dirty
shirt and patent office report to bag
of seed potatoes and a trunk full of mill
merry trappings. This, and not actual
official business, was what was generally
complained of, and there was not a mem
ber of Congress bnt should haye under
stood this very well. TO plead that they
is wholly ineXcusble in anybody-even
Congressman. 10 unders tand it and
= then act as they did was to display 4
petty meanness that has never found its
parallel in any supposed deliberate body
in this or any other country.

labor withdrawn from industry WAS eS
imated at twelve hundred and fifty
millions. In Germany the conscriptiom
forced an emigration which was depop-
ulating the country, and Russia, France
and Italy were financially crippled by
the expense of their enormous military
establishments. Gladstone opposed the
motion. lie argued it would defeat its
own object, because the continental na-
tions held evidently different views on
the subject. He asked the gentleman to
