INTEREST FOR rHE USE OF MONEY.

One effect Of this rumpus, We hope, will be tc
moderate peoples ideas on the subject of high
interest for money. They have been climbing
to most unreasonable height. During the
War the Government loans, at per cont. ir
goid AZ an Immense premium, demorazed lend
ers' and totally up-rooted the principles estal-
ished for long period, By which loans cula
awTs be had on first mortgage, at six per cent.

at i've per cent
Ihe Governments borrowing at rates so much
higher was OF necessity it could not be helm
ed, let the consequences be as they might but
since ii left tho market, the intllsed views of
lenders have persisted in keeping up and they
nave been willing TO advance money on all sorts
OF securities, which promised high interest.
railroad bonds, paying seven, and seven and
three'tenths. were to be had at less than par.
while many Town and city bonds, and mortgage
loans on Western farms promised to pay as high
ss ten, snd submit TO shayes, at that.
Investors and borrowers will alike recognize
the truth of these statements, and they will
agree with us that the rates were 90 high for
safety. Closely related to them. in this respect.

Different Styles of Dancing.
[Eli Perkins in the Graphic.J


The fashion of dancing is not at all
cosmopolite, not even national. In
Saratoga the different styles make a
medley.
If you see two-hundred pound man
and woman rperspiring around with their
pompous bodies tossed lightly and
springily in air, arms swaying, keeping
good time, and making grand Persian
salaams for a bow in the Lancers, you
can set them down as belonging to the
old Tweed-Fisk- k-Leland-Americus club
school. ~ ..-- ...
If you see two heated young people
tripping fast away ahead of the music,
taking short steps, and jerking through
a square dance as if the house was on
fire and the set must be completed be-
fore any one could take to the frees
capes, you can set them down as from
the plantation districts of the south or
the rural districts of Pennsylvania and
the west. It is the steamboat quick
step.
If you see a black-eyed youth with
long hair, and a young lady with liquid
black eyes, and she has her two hands
on tn young mans shoulders at full
length, and she stands directly in front
of him, and they both go hopping
around like Siamese twins with wire
springs under them, You can wager they
are from Louisville, Memphis or Little
Rock. They have the square-toed
wrestling step.
If you see a young fellow grasp a
young lady firmly around the waist,
seize her wrist, stick her hand out like
the bowsprit of a sound yacht, and
both hump up their backs like a pair
of mad cats on a door-yard fence, and
then go sliding slam bang against peo-
pie, over people. through people, up
and down the room, sidewise, backward
and up and down like a saw-mill gate,
you can bet on them having learned
their dancing from the Morristown, Riv-
erdale and Yonkers' sociables. It is the
suburban New York saw-mill jump-up.
If you see a couple gliding gently and
slowly and lazily through the Lancers,
just half as fast as the time, but keep
ing step with the music, quietly saun-
tering through the "grand chain, too
languid to whirl partners, talking sweet
ly all the time, as if they were stroliing
in graveyard, you can rest assured that
they are from New York, and from the
most fashionable section between Madi-
son square and the park. This is the
graveyard saunter step.
If you see fellow clasp girl melt
ingly in his arms, squeeze her hand
warmly, hold her swelling bosom to his,
and they both go floating down the
room locked in each others embrace,
looking like one person, his feet only
now and then protruding from profu-
sion of illusion and lace and so on, re-
ly upon it you can set the two down as
belonging to the intense Boston school.
It is the melting Harvard jacket-race
embrace.
