4 LETTER To MY NEPHEW.

DEAR SErH Your Aunt Mary has
been saying for long time that ought
to write you. but l have been 50 much
| occupied with the plans for our new rail.
road. that l have written few family let
( tiers.
Recently. | hear that some of your
townsmen have nominated you as their
Representative in the Legislature next
fall. and | hasten to write yen some ad-
vice, which nv long and successful ex-
perience in political life has qualified
NE to give.
First, be determined in your own
mind to gain an election. then. at once
set about securing public favor This
can be done in a great variety of ways.
Let me mention soue You. with your
family have always been constant atten-
dauts at the Stone Church-now do not
be 50 particular. Drive over to the Hall
where Rev. Mi Broad Way speaks !;
never mind if you do not like the prin-
eiple taught there. Infdels can vote.
you know. To be sure. | would not take
the children where they will hear the
Bible ridiculed. and the great truths of
the gospel revelation set at naught but
then. You and your wife can go there
once in while, till after election.
Garry your family over to the dona-
ton visit, which l see BY the paper is
to be given for the benefit of Mr.. \.
next week give him ten dollars stay
all the evening let every one know
that you are there The people at the
west village are in debt for their new
school-house next time you see Mr.. B.
from that place, give him something TO-
ward lifting that debt tell him you are
interested in the prosperity of the town.
He will be sure to speak of it.
Has your wife ever called on Mrs.
Sambo Black, who lives down there by
the mill II not, send her there at once.
Sambo has considerable influence with
those workmen in the mill, and, you
know, every vote counts. Where do YOU
do your trading now Not with one
merchant entirely, hope: if 50 you
must begin at once to buy some things
at every store in town. In your rides
out into the various districts about town.
never allow yourself to pass a person
who Is walking. without inviting him to
ride, If you can make room for hin in
your carriage. He may remember 1t on
election day.
L hear that there is a good deal of
interest in the subject of Temperance
there where you live Of course you are
good temperance man. and will attend
all the meetings Of the Society. but let
me- charge you to be very careful what
you say and do. To be sure the rum
trafhe Is the great danger of the nation,
and rumsellers are the High Priests of
Satan" Their work may not now affect
the well being Of every family in your
town or in the State, yet who can tell
how soon it may But for you just
now, there Is but one course Won want
to go TO Montpelier next fall. so do not
put yourself in any place where you will
De obliged to take a decided stand either
for or against temperance. You can at
tend to this great question of the day,
alter you have settled that far greater
question Of your own aggrandizement.
l have merely given you few hints
which may be Of service. and now space
compels NE to draw my letter to close.
Your UNCLE REUBEN.

SENATOR BOUTWELL, ON SPE.
Gle PAYMENTS.

The utterances of Senator Boutwell,,
of Massachusetts,, lately Secretary of the
Treasury, upon financial topics, carry
with them no little weight. He spoke
in the Senate en- Thursday, and the fol
lowing is the gist of his remarks : He
said that the recent financial difficulty
should be respected as teacher, but
not as a dictator, and there were no rea-
sons existing. either now or before the
panic, why there should be any change
from the financial policy which had been
pursued successfully and advantageously
to the country for the last four years.
The business men Of the country are in
so strong position that they do not
need any help from legislation, and the
lab0ring classes are the persons who
have suffered and whose interests are to
be considered Imitation of the currency
would infiet serious and lasting evils
upon them. and the policy of contraction
would, he thought. be equally disastrous.
The country had been steadily progress
ing toward specie payments, during the
last four years, and his idea is that the
best financial policy is to wait for re-
sumption until the way opens naturally
and easily. He did not believe the gov
renment could resume in a year from
now. because it would be impossible to
accumulate or buy gold enough to resume
with. Senator Boutwell, was followed
by Senator Schurz of Missouri, who said
that there had already been an initiation
Of the currency, BY the issue of part
of the legal tender reserve, to the extent
Of S27. 100000, and if this imitation
process went on he feared that it might
be followed by events similar to those
which occurred in New York, last Sep
tember--Such a disaster could only be
prevented by borrowing money to meet
our expenses or by increased taxation,
and Of those two measures he was most
decidedly in favor of the latter Hatch
man.

How The SCALPERs LIvE.-There IS
class Of dealers in railroad tickets at
the West who thrive BY selling tickets
at low rates A sealper thus explains
the na0dus operandi;
"For instance, a person in New York
coming to Cincinnati will buy a ticket
to ST. Louis, Chicago or some point
farther West, and when he gets here.
not wishing to 60 any further, he brings
his ticket to US, for which We pay him
fair price, and he thus gets his ride
from New York at saving Of perhaps
twenty-five per cent To make this
more plain let me illustrate: Suppose
you were in Chicago and wanted to come
to Cincinnati 4 few weeks ago, before
the present cut between the railroads.
the regular fare from Chicago to Boston
was tWenty-four dollars. Well. YOU
would buy ticket in Chicago to Boston
! for tWenty-four dollars, ride on it to
Cincinnati; not wishing 20 90 any furth-
er you bring the balance Of your ticket
to NE, for which pay you eighteen dol
lars. You thus get your ride from Chi
cago for Sc, the regular fare being $40.
In comes Mr. B. and wants to 90 to New
York L produce the Boston ticket
which bought Of you and sell it for
s2l to Mr. B. who rides on it to New
York, and there sells the Boston coupon
for So Thus Mr.. B. gets to New York
Tor SIG, the regular fare being $50.
LIE purchaser Of the Boston coupon uses
1t or sells it for &c. Thus you save 81
On your ride from Chicago, | make 50.
Mr. B. makes 81. the purchaser of the
Boston coupon makes S and the railroad
company have received their full rate.
The Courts have decided that a railroad
ticket represents an agreement between
the holder or purchaser and the railroad
company selling the ticket. Thus. a
ticket regularly issued is good for one
rlde between the points named on it.
j no matter whose hands it is in. nor when
1t was used We do not claim to be
able to furnish tickets to all points at
all times, but most generally We have
tickets to the principal points at dis
count Of ten to thirty per cent
