TOM ,SCOTT'.S FIRST RAPID

Now that Hon. Thomas A. Scott

ipulations are attracting no small share
of the public attention, il would not
be uninteresting to relate an episode
in his life that took place at MERGERS

now deceased, a colored hostler well.
known in Merccrsburg and universal

splendid trottiug stock in which Brooks
took great pride, and the speed OF

dilating on the merits Of his respective
animals with more than usual unction
Scott interrupted him with the rather
startling banter: Brooks, III BET

RATES or INTEREST.

The usual rate of interest IN the
West, says an exchange, is ten per
cent, and il Is generally believed that
this is the correct measure Of the val
ne of money. II the measure of the
value of commodity is what il will
bring, this is true but II the true
measure Of value is what the article
can be made to yield, it is not true.
Experienced capitalists and business
men give il as their mature opinion
that there is no kind of property as
profitable as money loaned at ten per
cent.--which is tantamount to saying
that the average yield Of industries,
enterprises and speculations is less than
ten per cent. on the amount invested,
or in other words, that money is not
really worth ten per cent. There are
several considerations that strengthen
this conclusion. Money loaned at ten
per cent. will double itself in seven
and half years; ten thousand will
grow into twenty thousand in that
time, and twenty thousand will grow
into forty thousand That the average
Investments in business ventures and
industries will not do this is too well
known tonced demonstration. While
a hundred men who loan money at ten
per cent compound will, with prudent
management, double their fortunes in
seven and half years, one hundred
men who borrow money at that rate
will fail, in spite of all the prudence
and foresight they may exercise, TO
double theirs, So far from it, fifty OF
them, If not more, will break.
There is nothing more clearly estab-
lished by the experience of business
than the fact that u man who conducts
his enterprises on borrowed capital
whose only resources, or chief resour-
ces, are the products of bills drawn on
his shipments, will, in four cases out ol
five, come TO bankruptcy, and farmer
who mortgages his farm for half its
value to secure money at ten per cent
in hope that its net yield will pay the
interest and principal, will, in four
cases out of five, be sold out. These
plain and well known facts appear tc
prove that the average annual product
Of money invested in commerce, spec
ulation, industry and agriculture is moi
ten per cent, and that, while It may

SIZE IN THE EYE.-Size with the
eye, as with the brain, is generally
conceded to be a measure of capacity
A large eye has wider range of vi
sion, as it unquestionably has of ex-
preston, than a small one. A large
eye will take in more at a glance, tho
perhaps with less attention to detail,
than small one. Generally speak
ing, large eyes see things in general,
and small eyes things in particular
The one sees many things as whole,
considering them in philosophical or
speculative way, often seeing through
and beyond them the other sees few
.er things, but usually looks keenly in
to them, and is appreciative of detail.
Some eyes, however, look at every thing
and yet see nothing Fullness OF the
eye, causing bulging of the lower
eyelid is the the well-known sign of
language. Persons with this sign
large have not only speaking eye but
also a speaking tongue, whereof their
fellows do not remain in ignorance. A
general projection or fullness of the
eve above and below, which brings the
eye.ball forward on lire with the
face and eyebrow, denotes the quality
of physical perception, or the ca
pacity TO see quickly whatever APP
pears upon the surface Of things A
person with such an eye on entering a
room for the first time, would note
rapidly the shape, size, arrangement,
and general appearance OF the differ

YouYowoMAS's CREEK

The year Mr.. Caldwclrs parents
lived at Youngwomanstown, he says
that bears were so plenty in that sec
ton that it required no skill to kill
them. He and his elder brother, viii
liam, killed during that winter some
eight or nine, besides their dogs trecd
numbers of them which they paid no
attention 10. Deer were also as plcn,
tiful as bears. II was not an uncom-
mon occurrence for him and his broth
or to kill three or four deer in half a
day. The method Of hunting deer was
somewhat different from that practiced
at the present day. Tho horn was
then in use as well as the hound
Hunters would lead their hounds to
the foot of the mountain, start them
out on tho chase by blowing the horn,
and says Mr.. Caldwell, ut wouldn't be
long before the vonison would be
killed" Speaking of the smaller class
of game, such as phcsants and rabbits
he spontaneously remarked, 1--WE
