The Public Debt.

The highest poir.t reached by
the public debt of the United
States was 1878 ,S79.21, II
1866. 1t is now, eleven years la
ter, $4,000, 150,223.26, a reduction
of 1928, 1861. $685., or more than
one-fourth, whilst, through re.
payment and the funding pro
cess, the annual interest charge
has been reduced One-third.

FIX FOl. 1t,

The coming question in State pol
itics next year will be "are you
in favor Of convict labor" We
predict that the man that is in ia
vor of working the penitentiary
convicts in competition with hon
est labor Will never be elected
to the Legislature. That is a
matter that the people are becom
ing aroused on. 1t is a thing that
must be stopped, and any man
who is in favor of such an out
rage on a civilized community de-
serves to be defeated. The cry of
fare you a Republican" or 'are
you a Democrat" is becoming
stale and won't work much Ion
ger.

the best, however, there are
enough Saints to make serious

land against polygamy-and it is
not impossible that the death Of
Brigham Young may precipitate
the conflict.

The state Revenue for ISIS.

IN a conversation with 4 Nash
vile American reporter a few
days since, Comptroller Gaines
said that the State revenue will
about equal the current eXpen-
SEES, next year. About three
fourths of the tax OF 1876 has been
collected. leaving a ten cents tax,
so to speak, of about 100000 UNI
collected. The tax on realty this
year will aggregate 100000,
while the prilege taxes will prob
ably yield an equal amout, max
altogether $600,000 In addition
to this there will be an income
from the penltertiary lease of
SIC, 800, and a tax Of $14,0O0,0 900,
providing they all pay in their
taxes, which is not altogether
probable, some Of them claiming
charter exemptions. 1t will thus
be seen that the total estim ated
income will be, in round num-
bers, $6S4,000. Making allowance
for any Deficiencies which may oc-
cur, the revenue will about bal
ance the expenses for the year
1873. Under lhe law passed at
the last session of the LegiSla-
ture, Jne Ten cents tax will be
continued next year, leaving the
next Legislature, unless an extra
session Of the present one should
be called for that purpose, to
change the levy if deemed neces-

to make soap quickly, when there is
little grease and no leach to set up.
Make white ley by boiling wood
ashes with water and pouring off tbe

this ley is boiling, add all tho grease

or drippings) it will " take" Boil
it together, trying frequently little

as you stir it, and it cools. If you
cannot make it come" add a little
water to a small quantity in your
saucer. If that thickens it, do the
same with that in the kettle. If not,
try adding ley to portion, and then
to the whole, if that makes the small
portion tried "come."

who have never had that experience.

SuNsHNE.-Did you ever notice
what q different aspect everything
wears in the sunshine to what It
does in the shadow? And did you
ever think what an analogy there
was between the sunlight of the
cloudless skies and the sunshine
that CLEANS into the darkened
chambers of the human soul! How
bright and beautiful are the golden
beams that break through the rivcn
clouds to light up the work again
after succession of dark and stormy
days! How peaceful and happy are
the blessed words of hope and cheer
that touch the heart and fill the soul
with emotions of peace and JOY after
a long period of sorrow! There are
none living who do not, in greater
or less degree, have an influence
over the earthly happiness of others.
The sense of contributing to the
pleasure of others augments our own
happiness. Unselfshness, Christian
charity and loving kindness are sun
beams of the soul.

DON'T Worry ABOUT YOURSELF
To regain or recover health, persons
should be relieved about all anxiety
concerning disease. The mind has
power over the body. For a person
to think he has disease will often
produce that disease. This we see
effected when the mind is intensely
concentrated upon the disease of
another. It is found, in the hospit-
al, that surgeons and physicians who
make specially of certain disease
are liable to die with it themselves;
and the mental power is so great
that sometimes people die of disease
that they only have in imagination.
We have known person to die of
cancer in the stomach when he had
no cancer, or any other mortal dis
ease. A blindfolded man slightly
pricked in the arm, has tainted and
and died from believing that he was
bleeding to death. Therefore, we'll
persons, to remain well, must be
cheerful and happy; and sick persons
should have their attention drawn,
as much as possible, from themselves.
1t is by their faith men are saved,
and it is by their faith that men die.
1.-The wills not to die, he can often
live, in spite of disease; and, if he
has little or no attachment to life, he
will slip away as easily as child
falls asleep. Men live by their souls,
and by their bodies. Their bodies
have no life of themselves; they are
only resources of life, tenements OF
their souls. The will has much to
do in continuing the physical occu-

MATTHEW'S AND Fosters PLEDGES TO THE
SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS Washington, March
25.-There is much conversation here about
written pledges said to have been given by
President Hayes's closest friends and adj
visers during the progress OF the electoral
count to certain Democrats. The following
are the facts: When :" filibustering" in the
House was ut its height, several Democratic
senators, among whom was Senator Gordon,
were called into council by some OF the
southern representatives who felt it to be
their duty to vote against all dlatory mo-
tons and to stand by the electoral bill in
good faith. Senator Gordon stated that he had
no responsibility rs to the count, inasmuch
as he was not member OF the House, hut that
he did feel the responsibility OF protecting,
az far as he could, the government OF Gov
elnor Hampton and the people OF South
Carolina, as he had been specially asked to
do so, and would therefor so to Mr.. Foster,
OF Ohio, and others, and know in advance
OF the completion OF the count what was to
be the fate OF South Carolina and Louisiana.
General Gordon did go with John Young
Brown, of Kentucky, and requested writ
ten pledge in his capacity as friend OF the
Hampton and Nichols governments that
they should not be disturbed, whatever
might be the result Of the count. 1t is
alleged, and not denied, that some such
pledges i'll writing were given by Stanley
Matthews and Representative Foster.-Spe-
cial to Baltimore American.
