resident of this city for several years, has
accepted the position OF general supcrin-
tendent of the Kansas wagon munufac-
turing company, at Leavenworth, Kan
sas. During his residence in Cairo, Mr..
Gamble earned the respect and conli-
dcnce of o,,r people by his persistent ell

neighbors at Kankakee, just before his re-
moval to this city, with a seat in the con-
stitutional convention of this state, and

not the most astounding fact. When Clark d
Punchard heard that the line they had agreed to
build could not be built, they demanded and OBJ
tanned from the directors their creatures in the hrst
instance $4,000, and they went on receiving
large monthly payments i'll pursuance Of their con-
tract, on which they were to he paid only as the
work proceeded, and on which no stroke Of work
was done.
As for the press revelations, they are less curious
than they would have been before the great case of
Rubery against Sampson. had startled the world
with revelation of the corruption Of the financial
tor of Ike Times. For putting the Lisbon Tram
WAYS Company, Sampson was paid by Grant the
miserable sum Of 81 1878. sir Henry James remarked

out what influence minor officials and clerks
can have over the financial articles of great
daily papers. Bat 1t is pleasant to agree
with Sir Henry James that the conductors of
these journals knew nothing Of the matter. Some
weekly papers not much known to fame were paid
other sums. But among them is The Mining Uortd
OF which you lately heard something in connection
with the Emma. This paper s edited by man Of
genius. 1t was published on Friday afternoon, be-
fore the Lisbon prospectus had come out aud before
the Stock Exchange or the public knew of the ex-

that the shares were already quoted 2li and 23i

Place this box where the rats are thickest. and

An Obtrusfye BIRD.

Friday afternoon, well-bred and exceedingly
dighihed young lady of this city entered a for
lsts to make a purchase, whsn she was accosted
as follows by shrill voice resembling that of an
aged lady:
"Shnt the door; don't You know any better
It's cold outside"
Very much overcome with modification and
embarrassment, she looked about for the speak
er, saying, Pardon me, madam, but the wind
blew so, could hardly close the door"
well, mind your eye, Miss, and don't do it
again" repeated the voice, when to her great as
constituent the young lady discovered that she
had been conyersing with well educated and
certainly very familiar poll-parrot. Annoyed at
the bird for deceiving her SO, the young lady
turned her back to the cage and was intent upon
examining some flowers Suddenly the same
voice, or what seemed to be, said to her, "What
can i do for you, Miss'"
"lf you hold your tongue shall be gratified
above all things" replied the young Miss, turn
ing around as she spoke, and discovering the Ia
day proprietor standing in her presence. The
deRounment was surprising.

How 10 Calculate snieresi, and What II 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 reference. There being no snch
thing as fraction in it, there is scarcely any Ii
ability to error or mistake. BY no other arith-
metical process can the desired information be
obtained by so few figures:
Six per cent.-Multiply any given number of
dollars by the number of days of interest DESIRED
separate the right hand figure and divide by six;
the resut is the true interest on such sum for
such number 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 interest and divide by forty-five
and the result will be the interest 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 mechanic or clerk saves
only 2t cents per day, from the time he is TWEEN
ty-one until he is threescore and ten, the aggre-
gate, with interest, will amount to 81, 900; and
daily saving of pa cents reaches the important
sum OF $500 A sixpence saved daily will pro-
vide fund of S7,000-suficient to purchase
good farm. There are few employees who can
not save daily, by abstaining from the use of ci-
gars, tobacco liquor, etc., twice or ten times the
amount OF the six cent piece. Every person
should provide for old age, and the man in bust
ness who can lay by a dollar a day will eventu-
ally md himself possessed of over 100000.
