BE Polite.

1t is said that George McDuffie, OF
South Carolina, was very polite even
when little boy.
One evening he was holding lit
tie calf by the ears, while his mother
MIXED the COW. A gentleman who
was passing by said, ''Good evening,
my little son. George returned his
''Good evening, sir" with such a po-
lite bow, that the gentleman noticed
him and said, "Why didn't you pull
Off your hat, my little man :" when
George answered, "If you will get
down aud hold my calf for me | will
pull off my hat To you."
Georges politeness and shrewd re-
mark were the making of him. The
gentleman said to his mother, "Your
son is Il smart boy, and if properly
trained will make "a great man some
day. If you will permit me, l will
give George good education and
give him start in the world" The
mother thanked the gentleman for
his blindness, and let him take charge
Of her son.
George arose from the ears of his
cali to the highest rank in the legal
profession; he was sent to the State
Legislature, then to Congress, and
then made Governor of the State of
South Carolina. =
A polite bow and "goOd even
ing, sir" cost nothing, but are some-
times worth great deal. One pO-
lite aud courteous bow was worth a
fortune to little George McDuffie.

Mr. Mill gays, page &c, section 4, OF bis chapter
on iuconvertlb.e currency:
- section 4. Another OF tie iailaeies from
which The advocates OF an inconvertibie cur
rency derive support, i the notion that an IN
crease o.. the currency qaIckens industry. This
idea was get atoat by Hume, in Lis Essay On
Money, and has had many devoted adherents
since; witness the Birmingham currency school,
or whom Mr.. Atwood was at one time the
most conspicuous representative. Mr.. Atwood
maintained that a rise OF prices produced by an
increase OF paper currency stimulates every
producer to his utmost exertions. and brings all
TIC capital and labor OF the country into com
pletc employment; and that this has invariably
happened in al periods OF rising prices, when
the rise was on a sufficiently great scale.
presume, however, that the inducement which.
according to Mr.. Atwood. excited this unusual
ardor in all persons engaged in production,
must have been the expectation OF getting
more OF commodities generally, MORE REAL
WEALTH in exchange tor the produce OF their
labor, and not merely MORE PIECES OF PAPER.
THIS expectation, however, must have been, by
the very terms OF the supposition, disappointed,
since, all prices being supposed to rise equally,
no ono was really better paid for his goods than
before. Those who agree with Mr.. Atwood
could ooly succeed in winning people On to
those unwonted exertions, by prolongation OF
what would in fact he a deusion; contrving
matters &c. that by progressive rise Of money
prices, every producer shall always seem to be
IA the vers act Of obtaining an increased remu-
nsrltiou. which he never, in reality, does OBJ
tain. II is unnecessary to advert to any other
Of the objections to this plan, than that OF its
total impracticahllty. Ii calculates on finding
the whole world persisting for ever in the be-
iio' that more pieces OF paper are more riches,

TEN THOUSAND BUSHELS OF IOWA WHEAT
SHIPPED TO LIVERPOOL AT TwENTY-FOUR
CENTS PER BCSHEL.
The Davenport Uowa) Gazette OF the 9th
instant SAYS: yesterday the grain firm Of
Boatwright, Fernald & Co., in this city, sold
5000 bushels Of wheat to an agent OF j. w.
Adams & Co., OF st. Louis, for direct ship
ment from this port to Liverpool. This
quantity does not go alone, for another
5000 bushels was picked up from among
several other grain-dealers. The 10000
bushels is to be loaded on barge, towed
10 st. Louis, where 1t will be putwlt tow
OF five bargeS, and so be taken to New Orleans
and transferred to an ocean vessel bound
for Liverpool. What is the freight rate
from Davenport to Liverpool? Why, just
forty cents per hundred pounds Tor twenty
four cents bushelJ-tbe same rate OF grain
by railroad from Davenport to New York
city. Though now and then wheat will be
taken from this city to New York by rail
for thirty-tiye cents per hundred pounds.
But think Of wheat conveyed from this city
to Liverpool for only five cents more than
the rail rate 10 New York harbor! Who
can estimate the value OF the Mississippi
route TO the yea and Europe, to Iowa and
the Northwest, with that facility OF trans
portation and that tariff to Liverpool ?
Why, well have New York prices right
here at home for wheat and corn, with such
a state of things. before long, provided the
railroads leading to the Mississippi give q
reasonable rate to the great river. Daven-
