A LESSON FOR THE TIMEs.-Few
persons properly estimate the differ
ence between a high and low rate Of
interest, and therefore often borrow
money at ruinous rates that no legiti-
mate business can stand But few
have figured on the difference between
6 aud 8 per cent. One dollar loaned
tot 100 years at 6 per cent, with the
interest collected annually and added
to the pricipal, will amount to $40.
AT 8 per cent, it amounts to $22o3,
or nearly seven times as much. At 8
per cent, the Usual rate of interest in
England, it amounts to 1925, where
as at 10 per cent, the usual rate in the
United States, it is Sla,sO9, or nearly
one thousand times as much. AT y
per cent. it amounts to $s3,675, or
more than four thousand times as
much. At l8 per cent. it amounts to
SIS, 145,Oo7 and at "a per cent. (Which
we sometimes hear talked of) it
reaches the enormous sum of $2,551,-
7O9, 4O4, or more than the State of
Ohio is worth.

CONSUMPTION AND CLIMATE The
census of 1870 shows the average NOR
talty from consumption throughout
the Union to be, in rough way, pro.
portional to the average temperature
of the given State. Deaths from this
cause are ten times as frequent in
Massachusetts,, and--as Mr.. Bill has
rather candidly neglected to inform us,
says an exchange-twice as frequent
in Minnesota as they are in Georgia.
Minnesota is indeed a colder State
than Massachusetts, but its greater
cold is Offset, in part, by the greater
dryness Of its soil. A damp soil is
one of the most prolific causes of con-
sumption. Minnesota occupies an ele
waited portion of the continent; it is
an undulatng country, and its natural
watersheds insure its thorough drain
age. This circumstance undoubtedly
conduces to the healthiness of the eli
mate. But we have found, from per-
sonal observation, that where persons
are liable 10 consumption, it is far bet.

such as DR.. A. J. Flagg's Cough and
Lung Syrup, which is sure to euro if
taken in time, and will relieve the
worst cases.

In Mississippi the rate OF the
State levy is only five mills OH the
dollar under Republican rigime it
was fourteen mills, and the valuations,
then excessively high, have been
greatly reduced. County taxes have,
on the average, been cut down one
half, and q law has been passed re-
stricting the whole amount of county
and State tax that can be levied with
out special enactment, to fifteen mills
on the dollar--a rate which the tax
payers in most Northern States would
think exceedingly low. The Legis-
lature spends less than half as much
money as it formerly did. Last year
the whole cost of running the State
government including the expense of
the charitable institutions, was only
$5lS,709, and for the current year the
estimate is $452,75o. After paying
the interest on the State debt and re-
firing certificates Of the Indebtedness
to the amount Of Sl22,505, the Treas
er had surplus at the beginning Of
1877 OF $l6o,944 and had about
100000 of back taxes yet to come
in. Retrenchment in county expenses
has fully kept pace with that in the
State. But beyond all this and best
of all, there has been perfect revolu-
ton in the personnel Of the State since
the carpet-baggers have been counted
