MOney-L lending.

Mr.. T. d. Hinckley, Of Hoyleton,
Washington county, ILL.,, wishes to I'M
derstand f'why money should be beg
cling 3 per cent. investments in Wall
street at the same time the people of the
West are paying from IL to 20 per cent.
interest on foreign money, giving real
estate at one-third it's value for security :"
The reason is that in the West and with
land as security, the money has to be
loaned ON long terms, and the lender
cannot get it again just as he wants it.
Even when the mortgage becomes due,
it often proves difficult and even impossi-
BILE to sell the security and realize the
amount loaned. But when men lend
money for 3 per cent. In Wall street,
they take United States bonds as security
and the. borrower agrees to pay it back
whenever the lender calls for it. If he
is unable to pay according to his agree
ment. the bonds can be sold and the
money realized In days time. It is
because the loan is thus secured and is
! ioGminable whenever the lender desires,
that the rate of interest is SO low. Be-
sides. the transaction is made here on
the spot, with no papers except a simple
power of attorney, and it entails no anx-
iety upon the lender. The case is very
different, as our correspondent will un-
derstand, when the money is sent out to
tthe.West to be loaned on mortgages, at
long and fixed periods. Then agents
must be Employed and paid, and there is
delay, trouble and risk throughout.
What is chiefly indicated by the pres
ent extraordinary accumulation Of money
in great cities, IS that business is par
alyzed; that there are no enterprises In
which capitalists feel confidence; and
that depressing uncertainty about the
Immediate future makes every man
anxious to place his money where he can
get it, and have it at a moments notice.

The Longest Balloon Voyage.

The longest balloon voyage ever made
has just been accomplished by some
members of the French Aerial Naviga-
ton Society, who have resolved to UNI
dertake series of night ascents for the
purpose Of spectroscopic and electrical
observations. The balloon, which was
called the Zenith, contained five pas
sengers, and started from Paris, descend
ing near Bordeaux in twenty-eight hours.
Several valuable discoveries were made
during the trip. The aeronauts met with
currents of air in different directions
when sailing over the Landes. In the
higher regions hot wind directed them
to the ocean, and lower down, at 100 me-
tres (about 800 feet) from the earth, a
cool breeze took them inland. During
the night clear moon enabled them to
see the earth, and about 5 a. m. the
moon was encircled by splendid cruel
form halo. The balloon crossed the
river Gironde in thirty-fve minutes, and
four pigeons were dispatched, none of
which, however, have yet reached home.
The lowest temperature experienced was
four degrees below zero (cent. during
the night. Anent balloons, the cost of
one in France appears to be about
f20O. The silk for the upper part OF the
balloon is worth 2s. 4d. per yard, and
for the lower portion, which must be con-
siderably stronger, as it has to hold the
weight of the car and the ropes, about
2s. Sd. yard. The ropes and car come
to EGO and the laborsto f4O, and for a
balloon of similar size to the Zenith,
which made so successful voyage last
week, 1000 yards OF stuff are required.
An attempt to cross the Atlantic will be
made In the autumn. = London Graphic.

THE reports from the West do not
confirm the apprehensions which were
at first excited by the temperance Of
the grasshopper pest. It now appears
that the pests are not generally distrib-
uted over any considerable section of
territory, but are to be found here and
there only, with wide intervals untouched
between their different Matching places.
In many counties in Western Missouri
and Eastern Kansas they have ravaged a
few farmers only. In other counties a
few sections Of land viii be found to
have suffered. Nowhere, it seems, have
the ravages of the pests extended over
any whole county, and in only very
few cases has general destruction of
crops been visited upon any entire town
ship. It appears that the eggs were de
posted and the insects Matched out
upon small tracts, rarely ever more than
a few acres in place; that the young
grasshoppers, while wingless, do not
travel far from their Matching places,
and that as soon as their wings are de-
veloped they leave in general easterly
direction
THE list of steamers which have gone
down by fire, or wreck, or explosion,
since the beginning of the present yeal
is simply appalling. On an average, {
steamer has been destroyed every weel
since the 1st of January, involving al
average loss of forty lives. Here is tht

CARRUTH, the Vineland editor, has SO
far recovered that he is now able to walk,
and he will doubtless resume his edi-
torial labors before very long. An ounce
of lead is still situated somewhere in his
head, and its influence upon his literary
style viii be watched with some interest.
His recovery will establish the fact that
lead In the brain of an editor is not neces-
sarily fatal, and hereafter when aggrieved
individuals desire to assassinate editors
they will remember the story of Carruth,
and, instead of foolishly shooting their
victims in the head, they viii aim their
avenging pistols at some vital part of the
editorial frame.

A New INDICATION OF DEATH. TIE
patient really dead or not? is at times q
very anxious question. A medical prae-
titioner of Cremona proposes simple
method by which the question may be
answered with certainty. It is to inject
a drop Of ammonia beneath the skin,
when, if death be present, no effect, or
next to none, is produced but if there
be life, then a red spot appears at the
place of the injection. A test so easily
applied as this should remove all appre-
hension of being buried alive. -Scien-

HENRY @. STRATroN, formerly Post
master at Mooreston, n. J., who was
sentenced in the United States District
Court to pay a fine of $4,000 for unlaw-
ully OBTAINING and opening letters, APP
peared before the United States Com
missioner for that district, the other day,
and took the necessary obligation that
he was not worth the required amount,
and therefore could not pay it. In &C
cordance with the act of 1874 in such
cases, Stratton was therefore discharged.
II is a striking comment on our Con-
gressional enactments for the benefit Of
the postal service, that after the 1st of
July a newspaper can be sent from
Brooklyn to ConstantinoPle for two cents
which would require four cents to carry
it from Brooklyn to New York. The
rate of postage on newspapers sent
abroad after July I viii be two cents on
papers that do not weigh more than four
ounces, while at home the rate is one
cent on every ounce.
