OUR INDEBTEDNESS.

HOW TO LTQULDATE THE SAME.
To the Editor of the MorristOwn Gazette:
Mathematics is an exact science.
Problems in mathematics do not adj
NIT of argument as to their being
correct or incorrect-they are sus-
ceptible of demonstration.
The bonds of the State are each
for $1,000, and this amount Of
money, by evidence contained with
in the bond, has been borrowed of
the holder, and the State in consid-
Grafton of the value attached to the
use of money agrees to pay six per
cent. per annum, or $50 annually on
each bond of $1,000, and the princi-
pal 81. .O00) at some future time.
That, "no part of a whole, howev-
er great that part may be, is equal
to the whole" is a selfevident or in
tuitive truth. A bond of $1,000 of
the State of Tennessee having 81
years in which to mature and bear
ing interest at the rate of six per
cent. per annum would answer to
the following general description.
Thirty four years after date the
State of Tennessee promises to pay
---$ 81, 600" Attached to
the bond there would be 68 coupons
of the denomination Of $50 each, if
the interest was payable seml-annu-
alIy-34 coupons of the denomina-
tion of $50 il the interest was pay
able annually.
If a million sheets Of coupons
were issued in lieu of each bond,
each sheet aggregating $58, and one
sheet falling due each year, yet at
the end of the million of years. when
the last sheet had been redeemed,
the State would not have paid the
bond-holder the interest to which he
would be entitled, by the sum OF $2,-
900, 900; and not one cent of the
principal would have been paid.
But enough, Mr.. Editor. My
sense of the consideration due you,
and your subscribers, will not per-
nit me to further maintain i1a yoetr
columns a serious discussion of q
self-evident truth. But, if Esquire
Leeper is not yet convinced of the
absurdity of his proposition, let him
notify me either privately or pub
licly, that he challenges me to. come
before a private umpire or a public
audience and submit the question as
to which of US have been guilty of
an absurdity, and, Providence per-
mitting, will certainly be present.
Mr.. Editor, If any one writes a
communication for your paper, ridi-
culing the seriousness with which I
undertake to prove that a certain
quantity is not equal to a larger
quantity, and the seriousness with
which Esq. L. undertakes to prove
that it is. please don't publish it for
nay sake. As regards Esq. Leeper.
it wouldn't matter; for he is perfect
ly reckless.

was released upon giving bail for

The Dog and TurtIe---A Fable

The Dog and Turtle---A Fable.
Peoria Review.
II anybody has seen black-and-
tan dog, answering to the name of
Judge going down the street with
hard-shell turtle that won't answer
to anything. and certainly won't
answer to tackle-as the dog will
tell you, if you can only get him to
stop long enough-please to halt the
clipping pair. as they are the proper
ty of the editor of this paper. We
are fondly attached to the dog on
account OF his vagabondish, Bohe-
mianish habits. He knows every
dog in Peoria by name, and is on
speaking terms with nine-tenths of
the dogs that come in under the
wagons, and he knows more of the
Inhabitants of this city than the tax
collector does. The turtle is a more
recent acquisition. 1t was placed in
the back yard yesterday. and the
dog spent an hour and half trying
to induce it to come out of its shell
and be comfortable. The old IRON
clad maintained his reserve, howev-
er, until the dog ornamented his
nose against the forward. part and
commenced to sniff. The pair seem
ed to come to some understanding
at once. for the dog made an impet-
uous remark on a high key, and
then they both started on trip TO-
gether. The dog was last seen
sauntering along like a whirlwind.
the turtle staying right by him. We
should be very sorry to lose the dog
now. as he has acquired another inn
portant and valuable quality. He
knows more about turtles than any
other dog in the country,
