These armies of the dead are
found in a hundred cemeteries all
over the land, and in many of them
the ashes of the "blue and gray"
mingle together in eternal peace,
and the sweet offering of memorial
flowers is bestowed upon their
graves alike, When the same spirit
that scatters spring roses upon the
graves of the dead combatalts with
out distinction, shall take the place
of national malice and hate, the
bloody chasm will close and the war
be ended forever.

A Sisters Devotion.

Never have We been called upon to chron.
icle a more heart-rending accident nor ons
whicn has enlisted n more general and genu-
Inc sympathy with the afflicted family than
that which occurred at Union Mills on last
Friday afternoon. Misses Blackford, Misses
Bourne, and Charlie Bourne composed Q
party at Mr.. Claiborne Rutherford's ON thai
day. In the morning some of the company
attended the protracted meeting in progress
at East Hickman, but they all met at the
dinner-table, when one Of the young ladies
proposed to go to the Touring mill, stating
hat she had never seen one working. Con.
sequently the party named above, with
Miss Julia and Mss Annie Rutherford,
went down to Steele & Bronaugh's mill,
and Captain Steele, with his usual urbanity,
was showing them around. They had been
looking at the boiling cloths, and passed
over some shipstuff. Miss Annie Ruther,
ford shook her skirt to rid it of the dus,
which had adhered to it, when it caught in
a inter cog wheel, about one foot from the
floor, which drew it into the machinery, and
there was u similar wheel, about three feet
higher, in which her left arm was caught,
and was taken clean off, together with the
nesh and bone off her breast. Clinging tc
the shaft, her skirt fast in the bottom
wheels, she was whirled round Mt the rate
OF thirty-four revolutions per minute.
Frantic with excitement, Miss Julia
rutherford rushed to her sisters assistance.
Charlie Bourne did his best to keep hel
from the danger she was exposing herself
to, and at the same time doing his utmost
to extricate Annie but Julia persisted
that she could not stand to see her sister in
such a place, and, putting her arms around
her, she had her right arm cut off by the
same wheel. Annie's clothes were so twist.
ed that it was impossible to pull her away
until the engine was stopped by Captain
steele, which took about one minute to do.

was something wrong, instantly lowered the

Calculating Interest.

There are several rules for calculating
interest, which are used by many without
understanding the principles on which they
are founded, these principles being to them
a mystery. We consider it very wrong
ever to apply any rules for making c~alcula.
lions without being possessed of the key
on which these rules are based, and there.
fore, will explain the fundamental principle
of several of the rules for calculating in.
terest.
A rate Of interest It 8 per cent. is leo
of the capital, therefore divide the capital
by 20 and you nave the interest per year E;
divide this again by 1866, the number of
days i'll n year. You may combine these
two operations, and divide the capital at
once by 365 multiplied by 90, that is. by
1900, to have the interest FER day in dol
lars, and if you divide the capital by 73,
you have the interest at 8 per cent. per day
in cents. This you have only to multiply
with the number of days to find interest
for a given time but this multiplication
may be lone first-it will avoid fractions
hence the rule Multiply the capital by the
lumber of days, then divide the product
by the constant number 70, and you have
the interest at 5 per cent. For 6 per cent.
add 10, for z per cent. 2-5, for s per cent.
3-5, for 0 per cent. 4-5, for 10 per cent
double it.
This rule is the most correct, but any
interest may be calculated thus Multiply
the capital with the number of days, then
for D per cent. divide by 13, for q per cent.
by 81, for Z per cent. by 80, for 9 per cent.
by As, for D per cent. by 40.G7, for 10 pen
sent. by SO 1-2. -
These latter divisors are obtained by
dividing 100 by 6, Z, s, and . respectively,
aud multiplying the quotients with 365,
which serve as units, cutting off two deci-
mails, 81, 80, 40 and 0.G7.
If interest is to be calculated per month
md not for any odd number of days, it is
very convenient that 8 per cent. per year
is one-half of one per cent. per month. or
per cent. for two months hence the handy
rule that 6 per cent. in 60 day is ! per
cent; here the year is counted II multi
piled by 80 or 800 days only, thus it is not
absolutely correct, but near enough to be
adopted in most banks.

The Musical Convention.

The musical convention held last

uaneial success, was we'll appreciated
by all those who had the pleasure OF
being IN attendance. Prof :. Wesley
Martin proved himself 10 be an able
and expert leader, and with = larger
chorus would have rendered some of
the more difficult music in q very
creditabIe manner. The Heavens
are Telling" was quite well mastered
and was sung in the concert by : eho-
rus OF forty voices.
The Professor made q special effort
to bring out expression in music, well
remsrking that the day Of merely
reading music was past. The singer
who w0uIG sing effectively must con-
form the expression 70 the sentiment.
Our singers were very much pleased
with this feature Of the Professor :
work, and are anxious 10 secure his
services for a season Of thorough drill
at sn early day.
The concert on Friday evening
owing to the iucIemency Of the
weather, was not well attended, DIT
those who did attend enjoyed q rare
musical festival. We hope that Prof
Martin may again visit BrownvilIe,
and untfer more faVOrabIs eireum-
