PAY AS You Go.-Tha Southern pa
pers are descanting ON the ruin sure to
follow getting in debt to carry on farm
ing operations. One farmer who stop
ped asking or giving credit, few years
ago records it as his experience that he
can now buy more than he ever bought
before, and sell more. The case is men-
toned of the French, who never 90 in
debt, and who, having been saving mon
ey since the days Of the first Napoleon,
have become the richsst nation in the
world; which stems proved by the fact
that the German indemnity Of a thou
sand millions of dollars, which they
were obliged to pay, has been all dis
charged in two years, while we here
have been struggling for eight years
with twice as much. Perhaps the wealth
of the French farmer arises as much
from the small farm system, and the
high cultivation they give the soil. -
There is a vast difference between farm
ing in loose way and having all work
done in the best manner.

The PRESIDENT SALARY.-The Chi
cago Tribune, in speaking of President
Grants salary, ssys:
The sum of $50. 900 is fortune. Its
possession, properly invested, assures
large family all the comforts and many
of the luxuries of life. 1t can be invest
ed in mortgages and bonds of absolute
security a5 a net profit of $4,000 year.
1t will carry on business of $3.50, 600
year, and afford, aside from the profit
it earns, employment to score of men,
1t is what thousands of educated men
toll for as the result demonstrations and
laborious lives, and then do not attain.
It would furnish the means of support
for five hundred families during the hard
Winter coming upon us, who will actu-
ally suffer for want Of proper shelter,
fuel and clothing. Yet, in these times,
when every indivual feels the necessity
of economy more than ever before, when
the President himself recommends re-
trenchment in public, and when the
Government must contemplate theemer-
gency of Issuing new bonds to pay the
interest on the debt it already owes, the
majority in Congress, through their
committee decide that the President
ought to receive this sum of $4,000 a
year Just twice as much as Lincoln re-
ceiyed for services in comparison with
which the services of any subsequent
President have been insignificant.

ADvERTIsING.-The New York Even
ing Post. in discourslng on the above
topic, narrates the experince OF one of
its advertisers during the panic of 1857.
1t contains lesson SO applicable to
the present times that we quote it:
GA merchant continued his advertise
ment in our columns through the whole
period Of stagnation, and notwIthstand-
ing many predictions that it wouldn't
pay, his testimony afterwards was that
his sales We're s. eady and his profits sat
isfactory, while many merchant around
him, who couldn't afford to advertise, ,
saw his clerks stand i6le behind the
counter. a financial panic, does not
mean that no one has any money. There
is plenty of money in the country, and
those who hoard it are just the ones to
be eager for the bargains which fall
in prices holds out. But to buy they
must know where to buy, and the mer
chant who tells them will receive their
cash"

g The following in notice OF the
death of John P. Hale throws some llght
on a tale that was told or hiuted at the
time of Booths death:
A very remarkable episode In Mr.
Hale's career was the devoted attach
ment between a young lady of his fami
ly and the actor John Wilkes Booth. Il
Booths diary, which was taken froh
his dead bouy, there is picture of thi
lady; and through the book are inter
spersed phrases from the italian, as Q
caro- milo, etc. Some have guessed that
the alleged mutilation of his diary was
merely an erasure of entries involving
respectable people with whom Booth had
relations when he was thought to be a
steady man of good family and pros
poets.

ACCIDENT ON THE RAILRoAD.-After
the regular train had gone on, yesterday
morning, the little engine Otter Tail,
with a train of five h:t cars loaded
with ties, started from Tenino towards
Tacoma. At the heavy grade rear the
Desehuttes, the track had spread beyond
the guage, and the train went every way
but right on. The track and road bed
were litteredup with cars and ties, though
no one, VIC believe, was injured. AS
sistance was at once sent, and every
thing possible done to clear up the
wreck. 1t was thought that,a o'clock
this afternoon, the road would be clear
and in running order again, in which
event train would arrive this evening.
None came in last night, on account of
this disaster. 1t was providential that
the passenger train escaped the accident.
The rain to-day may haye kept back
the work of removing the instructions,
and the arrival of the cars this eveninS
is very doubtful matter.-7rib,u,e, Jan.

The ACTING AUTocRAT OF RUSSIA In
letter TO a friend, United States Min
lister Jewell gives his impressions of
Russia, as follows: ~
1.-The Government is, of its kind, per-
fection and clock work itself. The En-
peror is man of brains, force and pro-
gress, and think has real love for his
people. They certainly appear to be
very fond of him-all classes. He ap-
points the Council, Senators and Courts,
aud these make and execute the laws.
His displeasure is not o pleasant thing
to incur. The people may be more hon
est then ours, bat exposure is too risky
So the shells are never filed with sand
nor do the troops run. -.-. ...
"The most powerful man here after
the Emperor is Tripoff, Chief of Police
man of wonderful executive ability
always at fire, a row OF parade
He is always just behind the Emperor
when out, and says who may come and
vino may go, and who shall be tried too,
I think, and perhaps who may be con-
vieted. he justs runs this city and does
it to perfection. He is accountable to
nobody but the Emperor. I send to
him to get Americans out of scrapes, or
out of the country, or anything else.
All I know is fiat is done. His dis
patch to the frontier lets anybody in or
out, or stops them for examination. He
is said to be very just man, as he GER
tainly is very attractive ona.'

~ A poor Turkish slater of Con-
stantinople being at work upon the roof
of a house, lost his footing and fell into
the narrow street upon a rIan. The
pedestrian was killed by the concussion,
while the slater escaped without mates
rial injury. A son of the deceased
caused the slater to be arrested. The
cadi listened attentively, and in the end
asked the slater what he had to say in
his defence. Dispenser of Justice, -
answered the accused, sit is even as
this man says; but God forbid that there
should be evil in my heart. 1 am a
poor man and know not how to make
amends" The son of tie man who
had been killed thereupon demanded
that cordign punishment should be in
fiicted upon the accused. The cadi
meditated few moments, and finally
said: 1t shall be So" Then to the
slater he said: "Thou shalt stand in
the street where the father of this young
man stood when thou didst fall on him. -
And to the accuser he added: "Thou
shalt, if it please thee, go upon the roof
and fall upon the culprit, even as he fell
upon thy father. Allah be praised
