How the Philadelphia worIsingman
Secures his Home.



Suppose workingman, receiving say
sixty dollars per month, wishes to secure
himself at home. Selecting n locality in
the outskirts favorable to his business, he
purchases lot from the ground-rent land
lord by written obligation to pay the
legal rate per cent interest annually on the
principal. SO, on Il lot purchased for 500
only twelve dollars a year whould have TO
be paid, or for 500 only thirty. As a rule
an eligibly situated lot eighteen feet front
by ninety deep cnn be procured for the for.
mer figures, just MS long rs this yearly
rental is paid the owner can not demand the
principal
Having secured his lot MS the next step,
the workingman joins building associa~
ton. The stock of these associations is
divided into thousand shares at one dol
lar each, and any number Of shares from
one TO fifty may be taken. We will sup
pose he purchased five. On this he pays
an assessment of one dollarR share every
month. As will be seen, the sum of 81 ,OOC
is paid in monthly. At each regular meet
ing this money is put ct auction among the
members, the one agreeing to pay The
highest premium in addition to the inter
est being the purchaser. The money is
not at once delivered, however, unless
competent security is given, but is kept
until the house (for the payment Of which
the money Is needed) is erected on which
mortgage is taken. If 500 is paid as
premium it is added to the face of the
note, which is made to run for 81, 100 in
stead of 81, coo, So, without really paying
out any money he gets his land and hi
house, and has the satisfaction of konwinG
that Us long as the interest is promptly
paid no power can dispossess him.
Let us see what the interest would
amount to, and how il will compare will
average rentals. We will suppose that HI
pays twelve dollars, ground rent per an
mum, siXty-siX dollars taxes, twenty dol
| lars; making total of ninty-eight dollars
Besides this, is the monthly payment to thu
association of the stock assessments
amounting TO sixty dollars annually
which is applied to the payment if tn
! principal
| As all the profits are divided among th
stockholders, and as money is sold evr,
month, some times at double the premium
we have mentioned besides the accruing in
/ terest, twill be readily seen that the Dor
| rover is entitled to perpetual dividend
/ 1t would take him nearly nineteen years
| paying his interest and sixty dollars pc
! year to take up his mortgage, but in reality
! he often finds himselfin absolute possession
of his home, free from incumbrance, in hal

The New witness In the Beecher Case

The New York Tribune makes the fol-
lowing mention of the appearance of Kate
Carey, former domestic in Mr.. Tilton'
household, as a witness in the scandal case
THE prosecution introduced a startling
surprise Tuesday in the Beecher trial. The
evidence they presented with view OF
proving improper intimacy between Mr..
Beecher and Mrs. Triton. as seen by a for
closest scrutiny now, and is sure to be bit,
terly fought over in the progress of the
trial, Apparently the stage of dramatic APP
pearances has been reached, and it is GER
tain that the public interest in the extraor-
binary case is deeper now than it was
month ago"

spelling Match Amusement.
From the Cincinnati Commercial

lfpm the Nluclhnh'l N0hheiNlai"l
Parlor spelling matches have been quite
the rage among the Avondale girls and
boys during the past few weeks, and they
eliminated very pleasantly on Friday
evening last, in a spirited contest among
the young people of the school, at Avon
Hall. About forty of the older pupils
spelled thousand words. Two hundred
OF these were geographical names, two
hundred puzzle-words" in common use,
and six hundred selected from among the
most difficult in the Sixth Reader.
Fifty words We're pronounced for slate
contest. Nineteen spelled all correctly,
receiving one hundred per cent, and but
two fell below ninety per cent All the
children spelled well, showing most care
full preparation, and when the thousand
words were finished, eleven pupils held
the floor.
The audience was quite select, none but
parents being invited, but the entertain
ment was by far the most enjoyable we
have had for many months. y.

Dan Rice, the veteran Snowman,
has just repeated his usual annual ex-
plot of ascending the financial spout.
In Pittsburg, on Wednesday, formi-
dable document was received from
Girard, Pennsylvania, which proves
to be Mr.. Rice's voluntary petition in
bankruptcy. The most striking fea-
ture of the petition is that while the
liabilities run up to something like
eighty-five thousand dollars, Dan put
down his entire assets to be suit of
clothes valued at seventy-five dollars.

Lawyer Riddles New Novel.
From the Cleveland Herald ]

Hon. A. G.. RidI.r's forthcoming
novel, to be issued in 20 few days, Will
undoubtedly create "a ,eusation; from
the extremely free u-e +; makes of real
names and well know people, if there
were no other cause. The novel,
which bears the title of Alice Brand;
a Romance of the Capital deals Who'll
ly with Washington life, and the
time is during Andrew JOhnsOn's adj
niinistratiOn. The love story is inter-
woven with the course ofpublic affairs,
and the reader is taken behind the
scenes and shown the intrigues, the
scandals, the rascalities that were to
he found in Washington political and
social life by those who knew how to
seek them out. Andy Johnson is
shown up in colors the reverse of com
plimentary, aud some of the most stri-
king scenes in the book are those in
which figure President Johnson, Sec
rotary Stanton, Secretary Seward
Chief Justice Chase, Secret Service
Baker, Mrs. Croly, the notorious par
don broker, and other well known
characters. The return of Mr.. John
son to Washington at this time gives
additional piquancy to the chapters de-
voted to him, though they were al
ready sufficiently piquant. The story
is very dramatic, and will most as
suredly make stir both in the novel
reading world and in the world of pol
iticians.

Alas for Mr. Grundy He sees no heroism
in womanhood struggling toilfully to keep the
wolf from the door OF those she loves above
life; hears no cry of pathos in the infinite
patience and mental force by which she stands
assured of her power to win, bv work, some of
the prizes of this life; and is unconscious Of
the utter baseness of the life he dictates for
toiler in life's broad harvest field, golden with
waving grain. Nor can his pulses thrill with
the vast pure joy OF the grandly humaue soul
Bounded by his narrow, high-walled. seif-reared
horizon, buttressed by selfish aims and ancient
dogmas, we leave him to his fate, wondering If
like RIP Van Wnkle he will find his musket
rusty on awakening twenty years hence.
