u CUTOnlCte discusses GnlS question ana
shows that we can have such credit
here as is common in'France and in all
) rich countries but our owns We quote {:
We must build up OIL sound, trust
worthy model system of agricultural
credit, must divert into this channel as
much of our floating capital rs can be
safely vested in SUCH permanent forms
and converted into fixed capital, take
such effective measures and give such
complete guarantees as shall attract for
eign capital as well as American capital
into these new channels of investment.
and, finally, we must favor the efforts
making abroad, by which the business
of dealing in our credits, shares, bonds
and other values shall not be so much
controlled at Paris, Vienna, Hamburg,
Berlin or London by reckless specula-
tors.
Says the Scientific american: If mos
quitoes or other bloodsuekers infest our
sleeping rooms at night, we uncork a
bottle of the oil of pennyroyal, and these
animals leave in, great haste, nor will
. they return so long as the air in the
room is loaded with the fumes of that
aromatic herb. If rats enter the cellar,
). q little powdered potash, thrown into
their holes or mixed with meal and scat
tered in their runways, never fails to
drive them away. Cayenne pepper
will keep the buttery and storeroom
free from ants and cockroaches. If q
mouse makesIan entranceintoa Partof
your dwellings. saturate a. rag with cay
enne, in solution, and stuff it into the
hole, which can then be repaired with
either wood or mOrter. No rat Oh
mouse will eat that rag for the purpose
of opening communication with depot
of supplies.
The Chief of police at Milwaukee,
when asked if he wanted" a certain
prisoner who had been captured at Nash
Vile, wrote as follows: "For Gods
sake kill the scoundrel, so that can at
to my legitimate business, instead of an
swering letters similar to yours. There
is not city or town in the United
States where the rascal has not got in
to some scrape or other, and then when
too late am written to. Kill him and
I will pay all expenses" The scoundrel
in question was Copeland, who was tarr-
ed and feathered at Nashville for assert
ing that ex-President Johnson died
drunk. ..

as this city The party will number
abont seventy-five ladies and gentle
men. They will come Forth through
st. Louis, Chicago and Buffalo, and re-
turn by Philadelphia, Washington
Richmond and Nashville-a route
which will give them q good opportuni'
ty to judge of the extent and resources oi
a large portion of the union.
The aberdeen (Miss.) Examiner says
"Never did campaign open under
more favorable auspices than the pres
ent one to the Democratic Conservative
Party in Monroe. Hardly a day passes
that does not witness the organization Of
one or more campaign clubs and the
best of feeling and most perfect unity OF
sentiment pervades the intellectual
masses who are allied for a determined
battle against common enemy"
