thathe LOAN had received $500 for max

He Pulled Him Out by the Hair

During q recent and sudden rise in
the water courses in the west end of
this county veritable incident occlr
red that is worth relating as an eXhi.
bitron of pluck. Chaplin River runs
through Perryville, dividing it. 1t was
at flood height. a foot>briige crosses
it. Two small boys by the name OF
Casey (brothers) were on the bridge.
One of them, while playing in the
water, lost his balance and fell in on
the upper side, and was instantly
swept under the bridge. His little
brother, with great nerve and Judgment
took position and seized him by the
hair of the head as he emerged on the
other side, and thus pulled him out ant
saved him from drowning. The little
fellow, squirting the muddy water on
of his mouth, and with difficulty catch
ing his breath, with his tears minglins
with the water that ran down his face
thus expressed his gratitude: "Go
ding you, what dld you pull me by thu
har for?"

A Tough Canadian and a
Tougher Story.

About forty years ago, a young man
named Wilson, residing near the town Of
Perth. conceived The llnatic idea of lead
ing a hermit life. The youth had from
his early age showed symptoms Of de-
rangment, and this proceeding on bis part
was not considered strange by his friends.
The chozen place Of his hermitage was
about threc>quarters of mile from his
parental homestead. in the recess of a
dense bush, where he erected small
hovel and furnished it with an old log
canoe which be used as couch to sleep
in. iivestlng himself of all clothing he
has ever since remained perfectly nude,
with the exception of a tattered remnant
Of shirt which his fancy leads him to
retain. Ia this nude state for forty years
he has lived, walking in the depth of win
ter through the snow, and yet he has
never been known to have received frost
bite. When he requires drink he walks
deliberately into the river, it mattering
not to him what season of fhe year it
may be, and wades out till the. water
reaches his waist, and then he stoops and
qusn:hes his thirst. His food is brought
to him by his friends, and when given to
him is eaten with the voraciousness of an
animal, which he now resembles more
than man, his body being as heavily coat.
ed with hair as that Of COW. He never
shows dangerous disposition, and chat,
ters in monsyllablas. When people cross
his path he invariably begs for tobacco
for which he has an evident partiallty
and IN chat.eriug tones will utter baeca"
until his request is granted. His hail
is long, gray and unkept, falling fal
over his shoulders, and his beard, wkicl
is similar, reaches down below his waist
He is now between sixty and serent,
years Of age, aud is possibly the only liv
ing being ever known to have lived yea
after year perfectly naked, and exposed t.

RATHER TOO MUCH.
What a Cent Might Have
Produced.

You have had, of late, considerable to
say in regard to the accumulation of great
debts and great fortunes. Perhaps it
would not be out Of place to add something
about the rapidity with which motsy in
creases when put at compound interest.
| have seen, since my earliest recollection
many calculations Of this sort, but nothing
which exactly y meets the case like the fol-
lowing:
"lf, at the birth Of our Saviour, one
cent had been put out on compound in
terost, it would, as We all know, have
doubled at the expiration Of II years. At
the end of &c years it would have been
four cents-of Sc pears eight cents. Now,
continuing this process, we find this in
l3Oyears any sum, put out at compound
interest will have increased 1000 fold,
would have equaled $40, 900, Then,
for every l2O years We must add three
clphers, or, say in the year GOO, A. D.,
the sum would be ten millions taken ono
million times, or enough to give every
one of our 100000 900 inhabitants for.
tune of quarter of a million dollars each.
The increase now become stupendous, and
to handle it all we must take the value
in pounds weight, and finally cubic feet
of gold. Gold is worth in round Numbers
5000 pound. There are about twenty
pounds ofgoli to eycy pound of water in
a cubic foot. A cubic foot of water
weighs sixty>fve pounds, about gold
consequently 1900 pounds per foot,
valued at $2G0,000-say one quarter Of
a million dollars, or to the million dollars
go four cubic feet of gold. At the end of
coo years, then, we should have from one
cent in the beginning 4O000,O00 feet Of
s)hd gold. Continuing this process, we
must soon use cubic miles as our unit, and
finally, we reach the stupendous result
that in the year 1900 A. D., one cent
put out at compound interest would have
increased to sphere of gold whose centre
beng placed at the centre of the sun
would extend beyond the path of the
earth around that body, in all directions,
and necessarily as far above and below
the plane of the earth's revolution.-Ne,v

that the party means to defend solemn

ity of the Democratic members, it appears
from the vote, will refuse to repeal the

effective to secure resumption. But
large majority of them vote to ropudia,e

Republicans have claimed-that the Dem.

store an honest currency or maintain tho

of the country will pass the same verdict
upon them in November, 10 regard to ali
their pledges.

has been printed. Secretary Fish, in his
letter to Minister Gushing, which he
directs read to the Spanish Government,
rccapitulates The situation of affairs in
Cuba, and says:
"ln the absence of any prospect OF u

Quoted on either side, the President feels
that the time is at hand when it nayle
the duty of other Governments to inter.
vene, solely with the view of bringing to
an end disastrous ,and destructive con,
tlict and of restoring peace in the Island
OF Cuba. No Government is more deeply
interested in the order and peaceful ad.
min'stration Of this island than is that OF
the United States, and none has suffered
as hrs the United States from the condit,
ion which has obtained there during the
past six or seven years. The President
will therefore feel it bis duty, atian early
day, to submit the subject in this light,
and accompanied by an expression of tie
views above presented for the copsidera>
tlon of Congress.
"Thi, conclusion is, reached with ro>
Iuctance and regret. 1t is reached after
every other expedicnt has been attempted
and proved failure, and in the firm con-
vlctlon that the period has a last arrived
when no other course remains for this

Spain has responded by promising all
that is demanded. The situation in Tur-
key is unchanged, and the complications
Of that question may involve all Europe
