s.Charge It."

A simple little sentence is this, to be sure,
and vet It may be considered one Of the most
nsidious mics with which people have to
deal. 1t is very pleasant to have all the little
commodities offered for sale III the market, and
it is hard to deny ones self Of the same when
they can be obtained By saying 'charge it. .
But this habit OF getting articles. however
small the charge may be, without paying for
them, keeps ones funds in a low state most
Of the time.
II have no money to-day, but should like
the article very much.
"Never Mint" says the gentiemanly clerk
''you are good for it.
well l will take it, and you may charge
it." And SO it is that little accounts are
opened at one place and another until the
young man is surprised at his liabilities.
In many cases If the cash were required,
the purchase would not be male even had
the person the money by him; but to some,
getting an article charged does not seem like
parting with an equivalent. Sill! when pay
day comes, as always it does, this delusion
vanishes, and feeling is experienced of part
ing with money and receiving nothing in
return.
Ii there is IN actual necessity Of making a
purchase, ana the means are rot at hand,
there is a reasonable excuse for obtaining the
same on credit; but when the article can be
dispensed with until payment can be made, it
is much to the advantage OF the purchaser to
do so.-Erchdnge.

THE MEXICAN BANDITTI.

We are still without off cial information as
+, what steps President Grant intends to take
to suppress the robberies and murders OF the
| M xican bandit.i on tho Texas border. That
high dignitary being, as usual. absent from
Washington, Secretary Belknap merely
answered, in his own name. that
orders viii be given to the
military authorities to take immediate steps
toward the protection Of the people OF Texas
on the Mexican frontier, q declaration which
will give but cold comfort to the interested
parties. as it is tantamount to informing them
that their case is to go through the circumlo-
cutfon and red tapism Of the War Department
while they are being raided upon and plum
dcred without stint or mercy.
1t seems to us that whenever the esprit "
moves Ulysses the Great to go on some junk
e,ing excursion with his choice associates, the
Shepherds. the Murphys, the Harringtons
and the rest Of his "court, he ought at least
condescend to telegraph his instructions to
his subordinates instead Of leaving them to
act on their own responsibility.
His chronic neglect of his public duties is
SO notorious that the papers have ceased to
make any comments about it, viewing it as
quite as much Of a constitutional element OF
the Presidential system as favoritsm. nepo-
tism and gift-,aking, which being looked upon
as incurable intirmities Of the present Chief
Magistrate, are by common consent quietly
endured as beyond remedy.
It il a remarkable fact that whenever Con-
ersss is not in session. the entire executive
business of the nation falls into the hands OF
irresponsible clerks. the heads Of the various
departments having Of late years, become
almost as great frequenters Of the Northern
watering places and as fond OF yachting
in government vessels as their illustrious
chief himself.
Let us hope, however. that the great third
term aspirant will snatch sufficient time from
his engrossins summer avocasions to devote
some of the short intervals between the en-
ioyment of his extra Havanas and his choice
Bourbon and Otard to the consideration 0.
the claims OF the suffering people OF Texas,
and that he will order his man Beiknap to
perform something more definite than his
present vague promises and circnnlocltofy
department instructions.

DEATH OF CAPT. GOSLEE.

Tho many friends Of that genial gentleman.
Capt. J. W. Goslee, will be panied to learn OF
tho terrible accident that befell him in Louis
vile Friday morning. The following dispatch
was received here from w. G.. Hite. Esq, by

DISAPPOINTMENT Or THE RACES.

In view Of the fact that the track OF the
Fair Grounds is in q terribly sushy and mud
dY condition, and that the different roads
leading thereto from the city are almost I'M
passable, the managers Of the Louisiana
Jockey Club have wisely decided to postpone
the races, which were to commence to- day.
until Saturday week. This action OF
the managers, be it said, was advised by oil
the prominent turfmen interested in the
meeting, and It's adoption has their hearty
approval.
Old Probs has teen acting in such a reck-
loss ana mischievous manner OF late that il
has been decided to place no confidence in
,1he Elusive hope entertained BY some that he
would condescend to arrange the weather SO
As to give US 4 good day and track. The rain
mas been SO continuous and SO severe that it
would bc impossible now to get the track in
condition, even il the intervening time be-
.ween now and the hour fixed for starting
should be remarkably bright and clear.
This determination on the part of the mana
gers has been brought about by sincere de-
sire to make tho meeting grand success. to
accom- lish which object every possible effort
is being made, and will doubtless result in
perfect and enlire satisfaction to all who OK
1ect to share in the festivities of the week.
