A Verdict for Nine millions.

An astonishing answer in compound
interest has just been summed up and
charged against n California man by n
court before which suit a brought TO
recove principal and interest on n prom.
issory note. The note was for 81. 800.
made by George T. Walker to William
Hood, in 1854. II was payable In six
months. and bearing three per cent In.
terest per month. which was to be com.
pounded and added to hoprincipal II not
paid each month. A mortgage was
given an security for the note on some
land owned by Walker. Walker left for
Mexico before the maturity OF the note.
and no interest was eve paid on II. A
short time since Walker returned to San
Francisco ON u visit, and was promptly
sued on the note. The arithmeticians
OF the court figured up the sum in COM
pound interest, and brought the answer
$1,000, 900. for which amount judgment
was rendered in default. When he heard
the grand result Walker hurried Off for
Mexico. and Hood aud the court are in
doubt how to collect the debt.-St. Louis

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25.-In his forth.
coming message the President will make
the reported outrages and violations OF
law in the South during the late Con-
gressional elections a prominent topic OF
comment. These violations will be con-
demned. as forcibly depriving a large
number Of citizens In specified localities
OF the rights conferred by both National
and State authority. thus preventing re-
suits expressive OF their will in tae al
ministration Of public Affairs. such pro-
ceedings will be further deprecated be-
cause they indicate that the pacification
OF the South is not yet complete, and
because they cast reproach upon and
endanger the integrity Of free institu-
tons. The subject will be earnestly
presented to the consideration Of Con-
gress for such action as the circum-
stances demand. with a view to prevent.
ing the recurrence OF such wrongs and
to secure the absolute exercise OF the
right OF suffrage.

New York Times.
Sir Isaac Newton long ago pronounced a
theory which, in spite OF its fallscy, has had
many adherents. He insisted that the
anatomy of the female arm is such that it is
impossible for a girl to move her arms in the
plane of her waistband. Without dwelling
on the fact that he unwarrantably assumed
the existence OF female Wristbands, it is suf-
icieEt to say that facts conclusively contra
dict his assertion. Several scientific persons
have since demonstrated by simple and
pleasing experiment that a girl can move
her arm in almost any plane.
Professor Faraday took girl of the usual
pattern, and young man selected almost at
random from his class on the theory and
young man on the floor of his lecture room
with the girl Immediately in front of him.
The lights were then turned down for a few
moments in order to favor chemical action,
and on suddenly turning them up again the
girls arms were found to be tightly clasped
around the young man in the plane of his
waistband, although at a somewhat greater
altitude. Ii is impossible to break the force
of this experiment.
It conclusively shows that the female arm
can move in the very direction in which Sir
Isaac Newton asserted that it could not move.
The same experiment has been often re-
peated, and always with the same result.
Amy young man who can command the CO.
operation of q girl can repeat it for his own
satisfaction, and it might be added that it is
universally agreed that 1t is one of the most
thoroughly satisfactory experiments known
to science. We need, then. pay no further
attention to Newton's hypothesis since it
has been completely disproved, and is now
held by no one who has even a moderate
acquaintance with science.

costly, and the countess adduced herself as
living evidence of its efficacy. She averred
that she was 80 years of age, and that she
had a grandson who was a retired admiral in
the Dutch service. In reality, she was
young and blooming woman OF six and
twenty.
Some of our exchanges are finding fault
with the dimensions of the new silver dollar,
but in our opinion its size depends altogether
upon circumstances. For instance, when
you hand it to your wife to pay for last
weeks washing it looks big enough to eclipse
full moon, but when you toss it on the
counter and yell ''Setemupagain!" it looks
as Insignificant peppermint lozenger in
a cheese factory.
English royalty is expensive, the people OF
Great Britain and Ireland being compelled
TO pay annually for the support of Its royal
family the neat little sum of 60, 700,O 600. The
queen receives f3S5. 900 year, her children,
with the exception of Beatrice, who has not
yet attained her majority, f121 900, while
the princess of Wales has f10,0 900, the duke
of Cambridge $4,000, the duchess of Cam
bridge half that amount, and a couple OF
HanOveran nobodies $4,000 each. If the

BEAUTIFUL THINGS.

Beautiful faces are those that wear
1t matters little if dark or fair
WhOle-SOuled honesty printed there
Beautiful eyes are those that show,
Like crystal pa1es where hearth-hres glow,
Beautiful thoughts that burn below.
Beautiful lips are those whose words
Lead from the heart like songs of birds,
Yet whose utterance prudence girds.
Beautiful hands are those that do
Work that is earnest and brave and true,
Moment by moment the long day through
Beautiful feet are those that go
On kindly ministries to and fro-
Down lowliest ways, If God wills itso.
Beautiful shoulders are those that bear
CeaseleSs burdens of homely care
With patient grace and daily prayer.
Beautiful lives are those that bless
Silent rivers of happiness,
Whose hidden fountains but few may guess.
Beautiful twilight, at set OF sun,
Beautiful goal, with race well won,
Beautiful rest, with work well done.
Beautiful graves, where grasses creep,
Where brown leaves fa'l, where drifts lie deep
over WORKOUT hands-oh, beautiful sleep!

Death.
lCornhill Magazine.l

There is a great deal of very vile nonsense
talked upon both sides of the matter; tear
ing divines reducing life to the dimensions
of a mere funeral procession, so short as to
be hardly decent; and melancholy unbe-
levers yearning for the tomb as If it were a
world too far away. Both sides must feel a
little ashamed of their performances now
and again when thew draw in their chairs to
dinner. Indeed, good meal and bottle of
wine is an answer to most standard works
upon the question. When a mans heart
warns to his viands he forgets great deal
of sophlstry, and scars into rosy zone of
contemplation. Death may be knocking at
the door, like the commanders statute; we
have something else in hand, thank God, and
let him knock. Passing bells are ringing all
the world over; all the world over, and
every hour, some one is parting company
with all his aches and ecstacies; for us also
the trip Is laid. But we are SO fond of life
that we have no leisure TO entertain the ter
ror of death. IT'S honeymoon with MS all
through, and none of the longest. Small
blame to us if we give our whole hearts to
this glowing bride of ours, to the appetites,
to the honor, TO the hungry curiosity of the
mind, to that pleasure of the eyes in nature
and the pride of our own nimble bodies.
We all of us appreciate the sensations; but
as for caring about the permanence of the
possibility, mans head is generally very
bald, and his senses very dull before he
comes to that. Whether we regard
life as a lane leading to dead wall
a mere bags end, as the French say-or
whether we think of 1t as a vestibule or
gymnasium, where we wait our turn and
prepare our faculties for some more noble
destiny; whether we thunder in pulpit or
pule in little atheistic poetry books about
its vanity and brevity; whether we look
Justly forfyears of health and vigor, or are
about to mount into a bath chair as a step
toward the hearse in each and all of these
views and situations there is but one con-
clusion possible, that man should stop his
ears against paralyzing terror, and run the
race that is set before him with single mind.
No one surely could have recoiled with more
heartache and terror from the thought of death
than our delightful photographer; and yet
we know how little it affected his conduct,
how wisely aud boldly he walked, and in
what fresh and lively vein he spoke of life.
Already an old man. he ventured on his
Highland tour; and his heart, bound with
triple brass, did not recoil before q indiYid-
ual cups of tea. As courage and intelligence
are the two qualities best worth n good
mans cultivation, so it is the first part OF
intelligence to recognize our precarious
estate in life, and the first part of courage to
be not at all abashed before the fact. A
frank and somewhat headlong carriage, not
looking too anxiously before, not dallying
in maudlin regret over the past. stamps the
man who Is well armored for this world.
