How TO CALCULATE INTEREST AND
WHAT 1T Will Do.-The following rules
are so simple and so true, according to
all business usages, that every banker,
broker, merchant or clerk, should post
them up for their reference. There be-
ing no such thing as fraction in it,
there is scarcely any liability to error or
mistake. by no other arithmetical pro-
cess can the desired information be OBJ
tanned by so few figures:
Six per cent-Multiply any given num-
Der of dollars by the number of days OF
interest desired; separate the right hand
figure and divide by six the result is the
true interest on such sum for such num-
Der of days at six per cent.
Eight per cent.-Multiply any given
amount for the number Of days upon
which it is desired to ascertain the inter-
est of such sum for the time required, at
eight per cent
Ten per cent Multiply the same as
above, and divide by thirty-six, and the
result will be the amount of interest at
ten per cent.
What it will do-If merchant or clerk
saves only pa cents per day, from the
time he is twenty-one until he is three
score and ten, the aggregate, with interest,
will amount to $4,000; and daily saw
ings of 2715 cents reaches the important
sum of 500, 900. A sixpence saved daily
will provide fund of ,000-sufficient
/ to purchase good farm. There are few
employers who cannot save daily, by alb
staining from the use of cigars, tobacco,
liquors, etc. twice or ten times the amount
of the six cent peice. Every person
should provide for old age, and the man
: in business who can lay by dollar day
will eventually find himself possessed O.
over 800, 000.-American Grocer.

A MIDNIGHT ASSASSIN IN
G0FFST0WN,
A Young Man Attacked in his Bed
and Badly Hurt.

Daniel Fling, an Irish fellow about
Is years of age, who has worked for
John G. Dodge, of Goffstown, for the
last fourteen mouths, was awakened
Friday night at II l-2 o'clock by some
one striking him on the head with a
club. lie was hit over the head four
or five times. He tried TO get up in
bed, which he soon did, and deSper-
ate struggle took place. The assassin
pushed him down, and he begged of
him not to kill him. Mr. Fling soon
got up and each grabbed the other by
the throat and pushed each back and
forth several times, Fling all the time
screaming TO Grandpa, as he calls
Dodge; at last he saw it was a struggle
for life, and at length he succeeded in
getting his bedroom door open and
making his escape down stairs, the vii
lain going down the front stairs.
The bed was literally soaked in spots
and blood was scattered all over the
room. Fling had five wounds on the
head, and his shoulder was considerably
hurt. His wounds were dressed by DR..
Carr, who thinks the skull was not in
jured.
Subsequent Developments tended to
implicate Mrs. Dodge as the would-bc
assassin. She was subsequently ar
rested aud is held to answer to the
charge of assault with intent to kill.
The supposed cause Of the assault
was that dog owned by Mrs. Dodge
bit Fling on Friday and that he had
threatened TO kill it. This is supposed
to have so enraged her that she COM

Nor FOR RANDALL.-A Washington COR
respondent of the New Orleans Times
writes Z" If on personal accounts fellow
Congressman should be disposed to vote
for Randall, not withstanding this, he
would be restrained by the reflection that
his constituency would not agree to this
endorsement of a "salary grabber," and
would find in the conduct of their repre-
sentitive sufficient grounds for demanding
him to the post of honor in the private
station. The fact is that the people have
by no means forgotten the "salary grab
and back pay steal" and they hold OH the
recollection of it with tenacity. They
apparently feel that they can never sufi-
GENTLY condemn it, and the politician who
fatters himself that it will blow over
siMply decsives himself 1t will not blow
over"

BUYING OFF MATRIMONIAL RIVAL
The New Hampshire Democrat tells
how two rival claimants to the hand OF
the same young lady in Epping, whose
fayors were equally bestowed upon both,
settled the matter after hard words and
blows had proved Intellectual.
AS q last resort the Rockingham
County gentleman agreed to relinquish
all his right and title to the fair damsel
for the sum of 500. The other chap
couldn't see 1t. Rockingham county
seemed willing to do the square by them
offering to give 800 and take the dlspu-
ted property himself. Straffrod county
scorned the Offer Our man raised the
bid to $l2j, which was not accepted
$3.50 failed to reach him, but when the
bid was raised to $i60, it proved to be too
much for his cupidity, and with earnest
nesy he cried out, "take her." All this
time the expectant bride stood looking
on, an Indifferent spectator, apparently
caring not whether Rockingham or STRAIT
ford county came out ahead. The winning
man gave his note for $l60, with the
brides father for indorser, and the mar
rage took place without delay. And
now, we understand, the parties propose
TO resist the payment of the note on the
ground Of "no value received"
