THE argus has frequently stated that Mr..
Hager of Richmond compelled Mr.. Blaine to
take back certain railroad bonds, which, as
that paper has frequently asserted, that gen.
tleman (Mr. b. peddled through the state.
Here is what Mr.. Hager tells a Boston Herald
correspondent:
Mr.. Hager stated in substance :-sIn 1s6s-in the
fall, think-I received telegram from Hon. r. D.
Rlce, OF Augusta requesting me to meet him at the
train here (Richmond, Me.,) and go on as far as
Brunswick. met Rice as requested and went with
him to Brunswick. The matter of "Little Rock 81
Fort Smith Railroad'' stock and bonds was intro
duced by Judge Rice. and considerable conversation
had in regard to it, Rice said that Hons. Lot M. and
Anson p. Morrill, and other capitalists were invest
ing in them and further that James G. Blaine could
give all the information necessary in regard to the
investment. L afterwards saw Blaine and Blaine
Thought the investment good one. He referred me
to Warren Fisher, Jr of Boston. / subsequently
met Blaine and Fisher at the Parker House, Boston,
and talked the matter over had some correspond
ence with Fisher. purchased Little Rock 81 Fort
Smith bonds and stock (some preferred stock and
some gold-bearing bonds to the amount of about
$13 600. for which paid $4,000, L made the trade
in 1862 in the fall and got the bonds in June 1870
In May, 1872, or about that time, L met Blaine on
Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, and said to him
that my Western speculation had turned out rather
badly; the stock was at great discount, and held
some $1,000 of dead coupons on hand; that 1 hoped
he had more confidence IN the investment than
had Blaine said he went into it because he thought
1T good investment, and as he had advised me to
invest he would pay me my money and take my Sc
curities. This was in May, Some time in June, or
after the adjournmenG of Congress, Blaine took my
stock and bonds and paid me my money-$1O, 600.
Mr. Blaine treated me vefy handsomely so far as he
had anything to do with the transaction. He had
confidence in the operation. do not think there is
the slightest political significance in the transaction.

Pleasant near Port Hudson. week sinca is
but ii sample. Except iof self defense, there
can be no excuse for murder. The white
regulators do murder with the greatest relish,
and seldom seek for an excuse until the muir
ders have been committed. They killed John
Gair, and they hanged his sister while in the
custody of the Sheriff, because these two per-
sons were suspected of poisoning white cltl-
zen The white citizen is alive and well enough
to-day, but it is not well enough with the dead
victims of the madmen, and it is not well
enough with the bull-dogging community,
whose stained and bloody hands will never be
clean, and which hanGs are yet ready to do
further deeds of violence. 1t Is time
for Democrats even to pause and try to think
how all these disturbances will end. The col
ored planters of Mount Pleasant are among the
most industrious men and valuable citizens OF
the State. They have excellent crops growing
they make business and enrich the country Ill
which they live Their votes however, make
Republican ward, and the white bull-dogging,
shotgun riders from afar are ordered there to
disturb, to kill, to make hell of peaceful
neighboThood, and the citizens are powerless
to protect their colored neghbors, being them
selves inundated to such an extent that they
dare not give the names of the Democratic COM
mittee having charge of the killing.

Hints to Girls Concerning Housekeeping.

Don't keep going to yomr mother.
You have every one OF you probably some
possibility of economizing it. Buy your
own utensils set up your own establish
ment, if only by slow degrees. You
will know the good of it then and you
will be setting up your character at the
same time. There will be no sudden
violent resolution and undertaking,
which drafts aid and encouragement
from everybody about you, getting up
prospective virtue by subscription, and
upsetting half the current order of the
household for an uncertain experiment.
Be in earnest enough to make your own
way, and, before you or anybody else
| thinks about it, you will have become a
recognized force in the domestic COM
munity you will have risen into your
altitude without assumption, just as you
are growing, by invisible hair breadths,
into your womanly stature. Then, some
day, you may say to your mother, !" Let
me have charge of the china-closet and
pantry, please - and you may enter up
on new realm, having fairly conquered

you this new one will be pretty and

Municipal Indebtedness.

American cities and towns have had a
costly experience of home rule, and their
enormous debts show how dear y they
have paid or will have to pay for tho
privilege. But they are not alone.
Some Of the English cities have INDUCED
in the same experience. London owes
912, 900, 600, and the four cities OF Brad
ford, Leeds, Liverpool, and Manchester
are indebted Ella, 500, 900. These are
small in comparison with the municipal
debts of some Of o11r cities, but they are
large enough to excite the fears of Eng
lish statesmen, and Parliament is trying.
to devise some way of checking their in
crease by law. The entire municipal in
debtedness Of England amounts to
992, 500, 900, which seems small to. Us ;,
but the amount is rapidly increasing,
and it is proposed to fixa limit in pro
portion to the valuation Of its property
beyond which no city OF. town shall be
permitted to contract a debt. The
necessity for this interference on the
nart of the centraFG Government to pro
feet the people from the folly and OPP
pressiyeness of local misrule is one OF
the suggestive acts of the time. s.

.Washington,s White Chargers.

y Washington was an excellent horse
man. 1t is said that he could ride at
full gallop and retain silver dollar be-
tween each knee and the saddle, s0lch
was the tenacious grasp Of his thighs
upon the horse. He was very fond OF
his horses, and liked to see them thor
oughly groomed. The manner in which
his white horses were kept is curious.
Mr.. G.. w. p. Curtis states that the
night before they were to be used they
were entirely covered with paste, the
chief ingredient of which was whiting,
and were then completely clothed, and
left for thelnight to- sleep on clean straw,
BY the morning this coating was hard
and dry, and it was then brushed and
curried off, leaving the hair beneath
beautifully white and glossy. After this
the hoofs were blackened and polished.
To complete this curious toilet the
horses mouths were washed, and their
teeth picked and washed, when they
were considered to be. .groomed, and
were ready for work. ~t.a>

a RAINY DAY.

ss a RAINY DAE
i How many Of us have prepared fof
rainy day? Long years ago when
was little child in my loved home at
dear old Sunny Side, for that was the
name my angel mother gave the spot
where first drew my breath, I was,
as usual, indulged BY my parents to q
ride upon old Uncle. Sans shoulders
to the field where he was busy put
ting up the winters supply Of vegeta-
Ebles, and as was most too free asidin'
round in de dirt" he just 4toted0 me
off to grassy spot neal. by with this
injunction: Now you jes stay dar
honey till Use done" Well do Ire
member the answer to my inquiry;
what are you going to do Uncle Sam?
"Pse:gwan to lay up supply for you
little misses for rainy day, for when
the cold winter comes den dey don't
grow out here in de field, and we
must prepare ourselves against
rainy day" Reclining comfortably
upon my grassy bed, baby almost as
| was, l studied earnestly upon the
words Of Uncle Sam, providing sup
ply for rainy day. Then | did not

Yes, more, every luxury was mine;
but knowledge-there was the lack:

what | felt was almost beyond my
reach-the key of knowledge, which
opens tie doors of the storc-house
of the world to the search for truth.
AS was fondly ''toted' from my
grassy bed to the. house, for dear old
Uncle Sam would never allow his pet
misses feet to touch de ground If he
cduld help it, my mental ejaculation
was then and there fhatiI would make
it my motto through life to lay up for

degrees the truth became palpable
that one must be very careful what
manner of coin he sinks in this treas
ure box, that some might be like
quicksilver and mingle with others ull-
til they all seem to be glossy and
