consciousness of knowing that he
was lawfully elected, that he is the
rightful Senator from Louisiana, and
that though deprived of the place
through fraud, bri berry, ingratitude,
and all manner of corruption, he
stands to-day in the hearts OF his
constitu ents and friends an unim-
peached and unimprachable gentle
man, statesman, scholar and jurist,
the buckle of whose shoe the base
Kellogg is unworthy to loose, and

HOW LITTLE WE KNOW.

How littlc we know of each other,
We pass through the journey oflife,
With its struggles its fears and temptations,
Its heart breaking cares and its strifesi
We can only see things on the surface,
For few people glory in sin,
And an unrufied face is no index
To the tumult which RACES within.
How little we know ofeach other!
The man who to-day passes by
Blessed with fortune and honor and titles,
And holding his proud head on high,
May carry dread secret with him
Which makes his bosom a hell,
And he, sooner or later, a fellon,
May wnthe in the prisoners cell.
How little we know of each other
That woman of fashion, who sneers
At the poor girl betrayed and abandoned,
And left to her sighs and her tears,
May, ere the sun rises tomorrow,
Have the mask rudeiy torn from her face,
And sink from the height of her glory,
To the darkest shades of shame and
disgrace.
how little we know Of each otherI
OF ourselves too little we know;
We are all weak when under temptation,
And subject to error and woe,
Then let blessed charity rule us,
Let US put away envy and spite
For the skeleton grim in our closet
May come day be brought to the light.

THE BOOTHS.
The Fortunes and Misfortunes Of a
Family Of Genius.

N. Y. Correspondence Troy Times.
The fact that genius and misfor-
tune are generally linked together
has often been noticed, and Edwin
Booth Is no exception. The assas-
sination of Lincoln by his brother
cost him the suspicion of his profes
sion for an entire year. Then his
grand theatre proved failure, and
its collapse so affected his mind
that symptoms of insanity appeared.
After these had been removed by
careful treatment, he was injured
by a runaway team at his residence
Zoos Coo); but a greater blow than
all others was the death of a lovely
daughter, on whom his affections
were deeply concentrated.
Such have been the universities
of the finest player in the world, be-
fore he has reached forty-three.
Booth never visits the theatre that
bears his name. He is seldom seen
in public but occasionally one may
see a palefaced and thoughtful look
ing man pacing Broadway as in a
reverie, with somthing indescriba-
bly, striking in his countenance and
demeanor, and then some bystander
will touch his friend and whisper,
"There goes Edwin Booth"
Junius Brutus Booth 1.-THE father
died twenty-five years ago. He is
remembered by the writer of this as
thick set man, with a broken nose
and yet he was q very tragedian.
incompetence, however, destroyed
his chance for pre- eminence, and
his best playing was done in the
cheap theatres. His oldest son is
Junius Brutus, who is rich, and lives
in Boston; the next is DR.. Booth of
Charleston. Then came Edwin fol-
lowed by a beautiful sister, who
married John S. Clark, the popular
Philadelphia comedian.
The youngest was the most beau
tiful of the family, and will live in
history as the assassin of Lincoln.
His death is the only break in his
remarkable family. 1t may be added
that the elder Booths nose was
broken in a strange fight. He was
playing Richard Ill, and being in
famed with strong drink, the battle
became a reality, and his opponent
had to knock him down to save his
own life.

Calculating Interest.

There are several rules for calcu-
lating interest, which are used by
many without understanding the
principles on which they are found
ed, these principles being to them
mystery. We consider it very
wrong ever to apply any rules for
making calculations without being
in possession of the key on which
these rules are based, and, there
fore, will explain the fundamental
principles of several of the rules for
calculating interest:
A rate of interest at 5 per cent is
1-20 of the capital, therefore, divide
the capital by 20 and you have the
interest per year; divide this again
by 365, the number of days per
year. You may combine these op-
erations and divide the capital at
once by 365 multiplied by 20, that
is by 1900, to have the interest per
day in dollars, and if you divide
the capital by 73 you have the In
terest at 5 per cent per day in cents.
Then you have only to multiply
with the number of days to find in
terest for a given time; but this
multiplication may be done first,
it will avoid fractions, hence the
rule: Multiply the capital with the
number of days, then divide the
product blythe constant number 70,
and you have the interest at 5 per
cent. For 6 per cent add l-5; fort
per cent 2-5; for 8 per cent 3-5; for
8 per cent AS; for 10 per cent dou-
BILE it.
This rule is the more correct, but
any interest may be calculated thus:
Multiply the capital with the mum
Der of days, then for 5 per cent di-
vide by 70, for 6 per cent by 81, for
per cent by 81, for 8 per cent by
65, for 9 per cent by 1907, for 10
per cent by 1861.
These latter divisors are obtained
by dividing 100 by 6, 7, 8 and 9 re-
spectively, and multiply the quo
tient by 365, which serve as units,
cutting of two decimals, 81, 81, As
and OCT.
If interest is to be calculated per
month only and not for any odd
number of days, it is very conven
lent that 8 per cent per year is one
half of per cent per month, or l
per ceat for two months; hence the
handy rule that 6 per cent for 60
days is one per cent; but here the
year is counted II multiplied by 80,
or $50 days only; thus it is not alb
solutely correct, but near enough to
be adopted in most banks.

HON. W. P. MARTIN.
A Tribute of Respect from the Pu-
laski Bar.

At meeting of the members of
the Pulaski Bar held in the Circuit
Court room on Saturday, December
LIST, 1877, to pass suitable resolu
tions upon the death of the Hon.
VIM. p. Martin, former Judge OF
this Circuit Court, Jas. McCallum
was called to the Chair and Henry
M. Stanley chosen Secretary.
The object of the meeting was
explained by Maj. Thos. NJ. Jones,
and on his motion the Chairman
appointed a committee of five to
draft suitable resolutions upon the
death of Judge Martin, consisting
of Thos. M. Jones, S. E. Rose, j.
A. Tinnon, A. R. Richardson and
B. F. Matthews said committee, who
presented the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted
Intelligence has reached US that
the Hon. William p. Martin died
since the last term of the Court, in
the county of Maury, State of Ten
nessee.
This sad event, from the fact that
he so long presided as the Judge of
our Circuit Court, demands an eX-
preston from the members of this
Bar as to his worth as a man and
as to his efficiency as judge.
Judge Martin was first elected
Judge of this Circuit in 1851 and
remained upon the bench until the
civil law was suppressed by military
authority in 1862. Upon the adop-
ton of the amended constitution OF
the State in 1870, he was again
elected, and his term Of Office had
not expired at the time of his death.
Although he filled this Judicial
station for SO many years and
that too during an eventful period
in the history of the country, and
had to settle. many questions of life,
liberty and property, yet there was
never any impeachment or suspi-
cion of his official purity. His at
tainments as jurist were solid and
practical, and he presided over his
court with dignity and impartiality
and with an unstrained courtesy
that made the practice of law pleas
ant and agreeable to the lawyers
and officers of his court.
In the social walks of life he pos.
sessed many amiable traits in an
eminent degree, and was ever frank,
cordial and communicative in his
social intercourse, and always alive
to the SORROWS and misfortunes oil
others.
His kindly nature was apparent
in his official ministrations, evel
tempering the rigor of the law with
due sympathy for the frailties o.
humanity. 1t is therefore resolved
LIST. That we deeply regret the
death of Judge Martin, and viii
hold him in cherished remembrance
End. That in commemoration o.
his lamented death and as a testi
mony of his many virtues, we re
quest this court to spread this pre-
amble and resolutions on its re
cords, and that copy of the same
be forwarded to the family of thu
deceased, accompanied by a lettel
of coincidence from the chairman o
this meeting. THos. NJ. JONES,
SoLoE (. ROSE,
JEo. A. TINNoN,
A. X. RICHARDSON,
b. F. MATTHEWS.
On motion, Col. Rose was ap
pointed TO present them to Circuit
Court and ask that they be spread
upon the minutes.
On motion the Pulaski Citizen b.
requested to publish the same. Th'
meeting then adjourned.
