There are probably few, however familiar
with the subject of the rapid increase of capi-
tai put at interest, who would not be star.
tied at the statement that the cost Of the outfit
of Christopher Columbus, 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 continent,
together with the accumulations from the in
dustry of all who have lived upon it. If any
doubt this, let them reckon the amount, esti-
mating the entire outfit to have cost only the
small sum of five thousand dollars, and re-
membesing that money doubles, at six per
cent, in little less than twelve years; or, to
be accurate, 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 $17,S94, ,70o,-
OOO,OO0; which, estimating the population Of
the entire continent of America, (North and
south) to be eighty.fve millions, or seventeen
million families, (averaging five members
each,) would give more than million dollars

CHAPTER XVIII.

The apartment into which Cecilia suddenly
disappeared was the family sitting room. 1t
was very large room. Its three windows
we're Venetian, reaching from ceiling to floor,
and opening, like doors, out upon the balcony.
The paneling and ceiling were of unvarnished
walnut wood. The Auting and carving up
on it were absolutely exquisite; and upon al
the walls hung pictures family pictures of
the Gadburys female and male. The
furniture was also ofoiled walnut wood, and
the hangings and cushions, used about the
windows and the chairs and drawers, were of
dark rich green.
The superb creature, who thus suddenly
appeared in the midst of all this massive mag
ni6cence and sombre splendor, presented, in
her marvellous and brilliant beauty, stri-
king contrast to all about her. The shaded
light from the swinging lamps fell in gl!m.
mering softness, not only on the velvety-
cheeks, the calm, bright eyes, Vandyke beard
and naughty brows of the portraits, but also
upon living presentment of the ancient Cad
bury family-an old man, miserably thin, at
tired in gaily lowered, silken dressing gown,
with bald head and spare beard, and coun-
tenance expressive only Of supreme selfcon-
ceit, inordinate pride, and intense ill-temper.

CHAPTER XVII.

We have led our readers through many a
changing scene. We have carried them
through the rush and glare, the glamour and
the glitter of fast city life we have been with
them under the shadow of sin and with them,
have looked in the light of love and happi-
ness. We have felt the chill presence of
death and sorrow; but never yet have they
shaken hands, ungloved with Nature, in our
company, as we ask them to do to-day, when
we introduce them, with authorial rapidity, to
charming rural landscape in Kentucky.
1t is sweet and tranquil picture. The
Kentucky cliffs, clothed with green woods of
oak and elm, maple and beech and sycamore,
rise in the distance; and lifting its gray walls
and turrets above them all, stands an ancient
stone mansion, belonging to the aristocratic
old family of Gadbury. 1t toward the close
of the month of July, and the sun shines hot
on the crisping grass and the dusty highways.
The branches of the orchard trees bow low
under the weight of their burdens of red and
yellow apples, their luscious, downy peaches,
and purple damsons.
At the base of the cliffs, OH which the old
stone mansion stands, seated on a moss-grown
rock, and gazing abstractedly into the hazy
gold of the summer air, is man of perhaps
forty years of age. His dress is of quiet
gray, and broad straw sombrero covers his
head Amy one may read, as he runs, that
the man is cultivated, educated and rafinf,
despite his unassuming dress and his present
position as wayside traveller. His face is
brown but one can see readily enough that
it is the bronze that the sun and rain give to
the children of nature. Yet there could not
possibly be handsomer physiognomy than
this is, or one more expressive, or fuller Of
manly candor.
There is something about the man that
savors of disguise. One cannot we'll tell
where it is, however, unless the white hands
and the exquisite linen fasten suspicion there
The noon-tide has long since past. The faint
misty, white clouds that have been gathering
since twelve o'clock, seem suddenly to become
denser and darker in their hue, and the wind
which is rapidly rising, blows in ftful and
violent gusts through the mountain gorges
and the rocky gulles, swayng the green tree

QUANTITY OF SALT IN THE OCEAN.-Sci-
enti6c, men have thought about it; and one
of them, Captain Maury, has told us that if
all the various salts of these oceans could be
separated from the water and spread out
equally over the northern half of this CONT.
nent they would form covering one mile
deep. So heavy would be this mass Of salts
that all the mechanical inventions Of man,
aided by all the steam and all the water
power in the world could not move it so much
as one inch in even centuries Of time.

INTEREST ON CAPITAL.

We extract the following remarkable facts
from lecture by Mr.. W. P. Groom, editor of
the New York Mercantile Journal and they
cannot fail to be ofinterest, as illustrating the
rapid increase of capital when we'll invested !:
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 statement of facts:
If one dollar be invested, and the interest
added to the principal annually, at the rates
named, we shall have the following result at
the accumulation of one hundred years:

AFRICANS AND THE SLAVE TRADE.-Sir
Samuel Baker, who has been operating in Gen.
tral Africa under the Khedive of Egypt, has
recently returned to England, and on the 9Th
of December made an address before the
Royal Geographical Society," He mentioned
the noticeable fact that, aside from the Khe-
dive, the expedition which had in view the
suppression of the slave trade had no friends,
causing distrust even of the very natives who
were liable to be seized as merchandise. He
passed through eighty miles, desolate and un.
inhabited, which on former visit he had
found teeming with population. The people
had all been swept off and sold Notwith-
standing this fact it was discovered that to
suppress the slave trade it will be necessary to
reform the whole character of Central Africa.
The system is said to be so fixed in the habits
of the people that they will invariably sell
each other if they have the opportunity. Sir
Samuel talked to some of the chiefs on the
subject, and to one chief who was highly in
telligent man he preached almost q sermon on
the abolition of the slave trade. The man ap-
peared Immensely touched" but Immediately
afterwards offered to sell his own son for a
spade. 1t is obvious that the slave trade can
never be put an end to till the natives of the
region chiefly interested become sufficiently
civilized and Christianized to cooperate with
outsiders in the work Of their own emancipa.
tion.

as the possession of every one Of these: The
interest upon a million dollars, at SIX per
cent, is sixty thousand dollars, which would
be the princely annual income Of each OF these
seventeen million families, from the accumu-
lations up to this time, upon 50 small sum as
that named for the outfit of the discoverer.
In Hildreth's "History Of the United
States" it is stated that Manhattan Island
afterward called New Amsterdam, now the
city of New York-was bought by the Dutch
from the Indians for sixty guilders, or twenty,
four dollars (s24,) and this only about 10Y
years ago. And yet, if the purchasers could
have securely placed that $24 where it would
have added to the principal annually, interest
at the rate of seven per cent, the accumula-
ton would exceed the present market value
of all the real estate of the city and county OF
New York.
Again, if man at the age of 20, should
commence business with capital of one hum
dred thousand dollars, and could by any pos
sibility add thereto interest at our legal rate
of seven per cent. annually, the result would
be lin round numbers) as follows:

BRAIN WoRK.-The nearest thing to an
indication that the brain has been working
rather more than is good for it, is the persis-
tence in the mind, during the period OF rest,
of the thoughts which have engaged it during
its period Of activity. After good spell of
hard work, the brain worker is often torment
ed by finding it difficult, all at once, to turn
off the steam. His work day thoughts will
intrude themselves, in spite of every effort to
keep them out. Each worker has usually a
way of his own of endeavoring to get rid of
the unwelcome guest. Thackeray generally
succeeded in exercising the creatures whom
he had been calling into existence by the
simple expedient Of turning over the leaves
of dictionary. A great lawyer was in tine
habit, in similar circumstances, Of plunglng
into a cold bath, and averred that a person
never takes out of cold water the same ideas
that he took into it. Perhaps the best mental
corrective of this condition is to employ the
mind for short time in the direction most
contrasted to that in which it has been over
worked. In this way mathematician might
find advantage in unbending his mind on a
page or two Of novel, while novelist could
chase away the phantoms which haunt him
by dipping into discussion on the "Quantii-
cation of the predicate" The cure, in fact,
must be sought for on a principle the very op-
posite to that of the famous homeopathic doc
trine of "similars. ."-ChamberS Journal.

KEROSENE LAMPS-dOW TO TREVENi LA-
pLos1oNs.-This is the season when nearly
every paper we take up relates some horrible
casualty from the explosion Of kerosene
lamp, or the like, and women and children
are either killed outright or terribly burned,
and SCARED for life A simple knowledge Of
the fluid would probably put an end to nearly
all the accidents. First, no lamps should
ever be filled after dark by light Of a candle.
Always do this work after the hreeI's c,1 .u ulsn'
es are put away, and hten not Snty -, 'n J;n,
but wash -.ase cnimneys, tor II they are ann
and smoky, you cannot expect to have bright
light. Take the chimney in one hand and
breathe through it, then draw a wisp Of paper
up and down it, and all the blur will be re-
moved. If the chimney is blackened with
lamp smoke, turn warmish water through the
tube, and then wipe out with paper in the
same style as before. If the lamps are glass,
and they become clouded with deposit from
the kerosene, take lime water that is milky
with the lime and shake it up in the lamp;
Do this with two different washlngs. and al
the deposit will be removed. A little chloride
of lime, dissolved in warm water, and lett
in lamp or can which has held kerosene,
will deodorize it very soon. Lamps must be
filled every morning This is an imperative
duty for every housekeeper to perfom, for as
the oil burns down in lamp, there is created
highly infammable gas, which gathers i'm
perceptibly over the surface, and as fast as
the oil is consumed, this gas increases, so when
the oil is nearly out Of the lamp, the slightest
jar of the table will set the gas on fire; an ex.
plosion follows instantaneously->a bombshell
would not be more destructive, for Its touches
are deathly. Buff the oil is burned only half
way down in your lamp, the gas is not OF
sufficient power to do any injury; therefore let
me beg of you never to defer the operation OF
lamp-6lling to another day, but see yourself
that it is done.- Country Gentleman.

Now, the growth OF national wealth Is only
about three and one eighth per cent per an
mum, Notwithstanding the assertion Of those
who have placed it much higher, through com
pairing the old valuations with the new (wh'ch
have been greatly increased,) instead Of ta-
king as the basis of their calculation, as they
should have done, the actual number Of hors.
es, cattle, hogs, sheep, etc., at the different
periods 1t is plain, therefore, that the great
mistake most men make is in attempting to
use borrowed 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 attempts 10 pay even seven per cent
for all the capital he can get, should not ex-
pect to avoid bankruptcy as the result.
