- Mr.. Savage, the Democratic can
didate for Congress in this district, in
opposition to Hon. John Q. Smith, in
his speech from the Courthouse steps
in this town, on Saturday evening
last, advocated the smashing up of all
the National Banks, by requiring them
to call in all their paper and wind
up their business with all possible
speed. Our neighbor of the Lebanon
Star tells in the following brief para
graph what would be the immediate
result of this Democratic policy. Here
it is in q nutshell:
About thousand millions are loan
ed out of the National Banks: their
borrowers depend largely on what is
owing to them to enable them to pay
what they owe the banks. The De
mocracy have resolved that the banks
shall be forced to call in their loans
and wind up. This is notice to every
body that they must at once settle and
pay all they owe; that the Sheriff must
be sent out with executions to levy
on the property of all who owe any
thing. The Democracy promise fat
fees and good times to the Sheriff, but
woe and tribulation to all who are in
debt. This is what they mean by their
AQstilities to the National Banks.

- The Democratic party are fool
ing Governor Allen up with the idea
that he is to be the next Democratic
candidate for President, and he is
weak enough to believe they are in
real earnest about it. Why, he has
not the ghost of a chance for the nom
inatiOn nor the election, if he could
be nominated. The only object. the po
liticGl tricksters have in lattering the
old gentleman with visions Of Presi-
dental honOrs is to divert him from
the Gubernatorial race track in 1875
so that q candidate n ith more modern
ideas of Democracy may be put on
the track for Governor.

Savage, the Demo cratic nominee
for Congress in this District, says the
State Democratic Platform is not as
strong rs he would like to have it.
We'll, it is rather a weak document.
The workmen who constructed it tried
to make it SO that Thurman, with hard
money, could stand on it and yet that
it might seem to afford secure footing
for inexperienced young men like Mr..
Savage, who think that the thing to do
is to set the paper mills going and to
call their product money, Strong plat
forms are net made in that way and it is
little wonder that Savage feels shakey
when he attempts to stand on it

CHAPTER XIII.

The night was misty and dark. Not star
shone in the armament. There was chill,
clustering wind that foreboded dashing rain
before the day dawned.
The windows of the Bluffs mansion now
and then ratified noisily, and every little while
the tree-boughs sighed and shrieked as they
were twisted round aud round and to and fro
by the strength of the coming storm.
Cecilia Gadbury sat alone in the library
She looked weary and sad. Evidently, her
thoughts were still in errant defiance of her
better Judgment lingering tenderly where they
should not have been, and she was grieving
over the hard fate which had once more linked
her for life to man to whom her soul was
Indifferent, and consequently condemned her
to everlasting uuhappiness. She had welded
so rashly! Size knew it now, and acknowl-
edged it but i! was too late. She was asking
herselff there was not dshonor in allowing q
man to claim her hand when he no longer
possessed her heart? If she was not sinful in
remaining bound to man when she thought
constantly of another, and loved him more
and more every day and hour? Was she not
acting like coward in still calling that man
husband, when she knew that her affections
belonged to another? Was it not her whole
duty to confess the full truth to him, and ask
him to release her from her bonds He would
release her if she told him She felt conf
dent of it. He owned noble spirit, and he
would not stoop to claim a loveless wife for
an hour! No, no, she could not, would not
do it! What if she did adore Irving Nc
Donald, ought any power on earth ever tempt
her to forget her marriage.vow She might
sin in thought-that much she could not re.

New YORK CITY, March 81, 1874.
AS some of your readers may not havea
proper conception of the vastness, in many
things, of
NEW YORK CITY,
it may not appear inappropriate in this con-
nection to say, in the language of a represen-
tative in Congress from this metropolis, that
"the State of Oregon is but suburb to New
York" New York city is the gateway to the
whole country. Two.thirds of the entire Gus.
toms revenue of the United States is collected
at this port, and New York city pays one
tenth of the whole internal revenue tax. The
wealth of this city amounts to three and a
half billions of dollars, and the tonnage Of
steamers and sailing vessels required to &C.
commodate her commerce is more than one
hundred millions tons annually. Four mil
lions of dollars are spent every year for char
liable purposes; four millions for education !;
three millions for the maintenance of churches,
and the Croton water consumed by the inhab-
itants in one month would float navy.
There are 73, ,564 dwelling houses, in many of
which fifty persons are living, and the entire
population is conceded to be 100000, the
fraudulent census of 1870 to the contrary not
withstanding.
With each succeeding week, some new ex.
citement or fanaticism, for the good or evil of
mankind, springs up to supply material for
gossips, or money to those who live by
their wits. The latest sensation in this line is
the societies denominated
SIDEWALK PRAYING BANDS,
composed of females-old and young, mar
red and single, handsome and homely-for
the suppression of the sale Of Intoxicating
liquors. This "new sensation" had its origin
in the West, superinduced and fostered by
that arrant humbug and would-be moral re-
former (for pay) DR.. Dio Lewis, of Boston,
who first gained notoriety by his gymnastic
college for the development of the muscles of
the strong. ng.minded Amazons of Yankee land,
and afterward as the proprietor of the Belvue
(Turkish) Baths en- Beacon street, Boston.
This gentleman (whom / know welD is cele-
brated for his efforts in all the new reforms
tha. pay him. Finding the teaching of gym
nAstics Improbable, he tried, as I said before,
to establish the Turkish baths in this country,
which, according to his theory, would revolu-
tonize the practice of medicine, by curing
rheumatism, consumption, and restoring the
dead to life. That speculation proving un-
profitable, he sold out his establishment and
turned his attention to
THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE,
emigrated West, organized societies composed
of women, who in turn, organized themselves
! into "praying bands" and commenced a sys-

He went away without another word. He
found it difficult to control himself. Some
devil in his heart kept telling him to turn on
her and rend her on the spot for her base
treachery toward him, and the awful dishonor
she had brought on his noble house; for guilt
less as we know her to have been, he believed
the worst things of her he could believe.

THE POOR RICH MAN.

Look at him! He is just getting out of
his carriage! He steps with difficulty; his
face is scanned with care; his coat is rusty
you would not know him in the street from
any hard-working business man. Yet he owns
whole streets full of houses, and miles of un-
improved property. He keeps an army OF
servants in his great house uptown, and
an army of clerks in his business houses
downtown. He has neither chick nor child,
and he lives on bowl of cruel for bis break
fast and the wing of chicken for his din
ner-he dare not eat srpper. What does he
get out of his money!
His house. it is true, cost him hundred
thousand dollars, but he occupies the smallest
room, sits on the plainest chair, eats the sim.
plest food, and sleeps the least of any one in
it. While he was saving the money, he
thought he was doing it for HIMSELF and the
thoug ght stimulated him to save more. While
he was building the house he thought he WAS
building it for himself, and he consulted ar
chtects, and had plan after plan drawn out,
until he believed that he had found one that
was perfection.
But he knows now that it was mistake
all the way through; he did not save the
money for himself, for there's nothing that he
wants of it now that he has got it. He did
not build the house for himself, for he cannot
occupy it; it is simply small hotel, which
offers luxurious accommodations free, and
round sum for pocket money, to dozen male
and female domestics, who enjoy it infinitely
more than he does who give him as much or
as little as they choose of everything that he
has, and who consider him only valuable as
money-bag from which their supplies are
drawn.
AS a lad, how he envied the rich man !!
How he dreamed of what he would do when
he became possessed of wealth How greedily
he looked at fine house, at handsome
equipage, at the insignia of money, and social
position!
And now he is rich, but he does not realize
it; he thinks of nothing but the twinges of
his rheumatism, the complainings or delin-
quencies of his tenants, or the "tricks" Of his
"rascally" servants. He does not really live
in his house or ride in his carriage, for in the
one he does little but sit and think upon the
happy times when he was poor boy at home
upon the farm, and in the other, wish that by
giving it, with his fine horses, to the manly
young fellow whom it passes in the street, he
could buy his health, activity and power of
enjoyment. .....,,
It is not what man has, but what he is,
that makes man rich.

WHAT DOES 1T NATTER.

WHAT DOES 1T NATTER!
It matters little where was born
Or if nv parents were rich or poor,
Whether thev shrank at the cold worlds scorn
Or walked in the pride of wealth secure;
But whether live an honest man,
And hold my integrity firm in my clutch,
tell you, my brother, plain as can,
It matters much!
1t matters little how long stay
In a world of sorrow, sin and care,
Whether in youth am called away,
Or live till my bones of flesh are bare;
But whether do the best can
TO soften the weight ofadversity's touch
On the faden cheek of a fellow man,
It matters much!
It matters little where be my grave,
If on the land or on the sea
By purling brook, or meath stormy wave,
1t matters little or naught to me;
But whether the angel Of death comes down
And marks my brow with loving touch
AS one that shall wear the victor's crown,
It matters much

A BREATHING CAvE.-In the range of
mountains in western North Carolina known
as the Fox Range, most singular phenome'
non exists. 1t is a "breathing cave" In the
summer months current of air comes from it
so strongly that a person can't walk against
it, while in winter the suction is just as great.
The cool air from the mountain in the summer
is felt for miles, in direct line from the mouth
of the cave. At times most unpleasant odor
is emitted upon the current from dead car
casses of animals sucked in and killed by the
violence. The loss of cattle and stock in that
section in winter is accounted for in this way:
They range too near the mouth of the cave,
and the current carries them in. At times,
when the change from inhalation to exhala-
ton begins, the air is filled with various hairs
ofanimals not unfrequently bones and whole
carcasses are found miles from the place.
The air has been known to change materially
in temperature, during exhalation, from quite
cool to unpleasantly hot, withering vegetation
within reach, and accompanied by terrible
roaring, gurgling sound, as pot boiling. 1t
is unaccounted for by scientific men who have
examined it, though no exploration can take
place. 1t is feared by many that volcanic
eruption may break forth there some time.
Such things have occurred in places as little

FooTEs STORY OF Two DUELs WITH SAR-
eEANT S. PRENTIss.-This is the substance
of the matter we have heard, as detailed by
Prentiss:
A friend of Prentiss was at the point Of
death from an attack of mania-a.potu. For
a week his physicians had assayed every
known remedy to put their patient to sleep,
but in vain. Prentiss knew that Foote had
made visit to Texas. He was nursing his
sick friend, when consultation of the doc
tors was held, and they announced that the
case was hopeless unless the patient could be
put to sleep, but that they would exhaust all
the means known 10 the profession. Prentiss
sprang from his seat, and said to the doctors,
damn it, give him Foote's book on Texas to
read, and l will insure its sopori6c effect"
The remark of Prentiss was too good a joke
to be kept, and it reached the ears of Foote,
who challenged, and Prentiss was too much
of Southern cavalier to decline, and they
met, and Foote was wounded and the parties
made friends. 1t happened that the meeting
was so notorious that very large collection
crossed the river at Vicksburg to witness it,
and among them number of boys, who were
so anxious to get a full sight, that they climbed
up many trees about the grounds. When the
seconds had planted the parties, Prentiss look.
ed around and saw the boys in the trees, and

send you short sketch of the pro.
ceedings of the Crystal Township Sun
day School Convention, which met at Sa-
lem Presbyterian Church yesterday.
Mr.. j. S. Townsend presided, and after
recitation of verses by two of the classes
he made a few remarks to parents and
children. In order to avoid making the ex
ercises tedious it was resolved that the
time of each speaker be limited to ten
minutes.
After some remarks by Mr.. j. D. Ma
son, Of Howard, on the necessity Of pa
rents being guarded in their conduct and
speech before their children, the fol
lowing questions were discussed: What
is the legal relation Of the Sabbath School
to the Church? Rev. S. W. Ingham, OF
Toledo, Messrs McTurk and Bishop
"What is the Moral obligation Of parents
to their children in relation to the Sab
bath SCHOOL," j. D. Townsend and II,
Ross, of Carlton.
What is the amount OF labor required
of Sabbath School Teachers" Messrs.
Philips, McClain and Rev. S. w. Ingham.
Owing to the short notice of the con-
vention, the schools were not able to
prepare school or class exercises. A
hope was expressed that this might not
be the case in the future, and it was on
motion ordered that the president appoint
committee of three to prepare pro-
gramme for the next meeting and to des-
ignate the time and place Of holding the
same.
The choir contributed very respecta-
BILE part to the exercises. Miss McClain
