One of the Causes Of Hard Times.

IF the time ever comes when an
American pays cash down for what he
gets there is a certain Detroit blacksmith
who wants to be alive and see the phe-
nomenon. His business history is, per-
haps, the business history Of hundreds
of others. He rents the shop. The
landlord wants his rent the day it is due.
He has to pay cash down for his iron,
his coal, and whatever else he uses in the
shop. Up to day or two ago he ran
three FORCES. His men have families,
and must have their wages every Satur-
day. The patronage Of the shop is what
is called " first-class." That is, men Of
wealth send their horses there to be shod
and their vehicles there to be repaired.
Pass the shop any hour in the day, and
you will see from four to dozen vehi-
clcs there to be overhaulcd, and the shoe
ins.shop full Of horses. The income Of
the shop is often 5000 per week. Not
one patron out Of dozen has paid casl,
down for his work. They have sent it
there without the least idea Of paying
anything until the bill was sent in,
Along about Friday the blacksmith gets
into a buggy and drives aroundto collect
lilo has accounts footing up two, three OF
four thousand dollars, some a year old, al
against "good men" as tho phrase goes
and the amounts ranging from Is cents
to $35. He calls on A, and "A takes the
bill, looks II over and says: "Come il
again." or ~ can't pay it to-day o.
: he has some other excuse. He maj

before. He knows that the smith hal

Obtaining India rubber.

An article in ScriJner's Magazine
{" From the Atlantic to the Andes y,
tells how caoutchouc or India rubber is
obtained on the Amazon. The writer
says: Narrow paths lead from the hut
through the thick underbush to the sol
itary trunks Of the India rubber trees;
and as soon as the dry season allows,
the woodman goes into the seringal will
Ratchet in order to cut some holes in
the bark, or rather in the wood of the
caoutchouc tree, from which milky
white sap begins to flow through an
earthcn spout fastened in the wound.
relow is piece of bamboo which is cut
into the shape of a bucket. In this way
he goes from tree to tree until, upon his
return, in order to carry the material
more conveniently, he begins to empty
the bamboo buckets into large GALA
bash. The contents Of these are poured
into one ofthese great turtle shells which
on the Amazon are used for every kind
OF purpose.
He at once set to work on the smok-
ing process, since, if left to stand long,
the gummy PARTICLES separate, and the
quality OF the India rubber is hurt.
This consists in subjecting tho sap,
spread out thin, to the smoke from
nuts of the Urucury or Uauassa palm,
which, strange to say, is tho only thing
that will turn it solid at once. An
earthenware "bowl without bottom"
whose neck has been drawn together like
that of a bottle forms kind of chimney
when placed over a heap Of dry, red-hot
nuts so that the white smoke escapes
from the top in thick clouds. The work.
man pours quantity of the white, rich,
milk-like liquid over Kind Of light
wooden shovel which he turns with
quickncss, in erdcr to separate the sap as
much as possible.
Then he passes it quickly through the
dense smoke above the little chimney,
turns it about several times and at once
perceives the milk take on grayish vel
low color and turn solid. In this way
he lays on skin after skin until the India
rubber on each side is two or three cen.
timeters thick and he considers the plan
cha done. It is then cut upon one side

says: "Come IN the iraof tis month"
This particular blacksmith carried
around with him last Friday nd Satur-
day over $4,000 worth Of aceants, called
on forty-seven "good men," ct did not
collect one shilling! He hadto pay out
that week Sl20 for rent, stoc and labor,
and was thus 1920 worse e than the
week before. When asketwhy he did
not insist on cash down he lswered:
"Let me make such a ule and my
shop would be deserted. Men worth
100000 would take it as IN insult, yet
here is bill of 81 againsa man worth
twice 100000, which b has avoided
paying for the last six moths"
The other day one fore was hauled
of. Thirteen vehicles ieeding repairs
stood at the door, but one Of tho work
men was allowed to 90 bceuss money to
pay him could not 10 raisd. On the
accounts representing $500 the smith
has paid out over 5000 h cash for la

reputed to be worth at est IS, 900, and
some are known to be yrth 100000,
but the accounts can bebought for fifty
cents on the dollar.
There is a general cythat business is

The Legal Status of Advertising.
Under the above head the Philadel.
phia Real Estate Journal says:

Under the above head the Philadel.
phia Real Estate Journal says:
A curious and interesting case has
been decided in the Superior Court, in
volving new and somewhat peculiar
points Of law, of interest to all who adj
vertise. The facts are briefly as follows,
emitting the names of the litigants: In
December, 1876, A, doing business as a
wholesale grocer, discharged B, who had
been employed as head Of the tea de-
partment of his store. B sued A in the
Superior Court for $3.50, one months
salary. In circulars sent out by A, was
the statement that they had the best tea
buyer, whose sole duty it was to watch
the market for bargains. AS defense
was that B spent too much time in the
tea market. Chief Justice Curtis charged
the jury on the trial as a matter Of law
that "when man presents to the public,
in the form Of circular or advertise
ment statements, he is bound by those
statements. 1t is not for him to say
that it is a matter Of business, or when
business is dull as a matter of course, to
issue statements that are untrue. If,
after advertising his wares, goods or
medicines with statements for the public
TO act upon, he comes into court Of
justice, he is bound by those statements.
The law knows no difference between
pretenses that are false except in the de-
gree Of moral or criminal turpitude, and
in the punishment that attaches to them.
The man who seeks by false statements
in regard to his business through an ad.
vertisement to delude the public, when
he does it to reap profit for his own ad-
vantage, is taking the first step on that
road which terminates with false pre-
lenses, with forgery, with crime and
with those acts which imperil the inter-
ests Of all of US, and which tend to de-
stroy the property, and perhaps the rep
utation, of every citizen.
The jury gave verdict against "A Ior
1856. 1t must be admitted that there
is much sound practical common sense
in Judge Curtis decision. This is a
very different point from that covered in
the decision in the case of Hall v. Hall,
Kimbark & Co., which our readers may
remember. In the case last named the
plaintiff took advantage of the defend
ants circular, offering certain goods at a
very low price, to order large line on
speculation. The order was not filled,
but the court held that the defendants
were bound by the offer made in their
circular, and the plaintiff recovered large
damages. Both cases are of Importance,
however, as showing the practice Of our
courts in fixing the measure of legal re-
sponsibility which they must assume
who make positive statements in adver.

A BLEssED THING TO FoRaET.- w hat
n blessed thing it is that we cun forget /!
To days troubles look large, but week
hence they will be forgotten and buried
out of sight. Says one writer: "Ir you
would keep book, and daily put dow
the things that worry you, and see
what becomes of them, it would t.
benefit to you. You allow thing t.
annoy you, just as you allow a fly to
settle on you ard plague you; and you
lose your temper (or rather get iD; for
when men are surcharged with temper
they are said to have lost it; and you
Justify yourselves for being thrown off
your balance by causes which you do not
trace out. But if you would see what it
was that threw you off your balance be-
fore breakfast, and put it down in little
book, and follow it up, and follow it out
and ascertain what becomes of it, you
would see what a fool you were in the
matter. The art Of forgetting is bless
ed art, but the art OF overlooking is quite
AS important. And if we should take
time to write down the origin, progress,
and outcome Of few OF our troubles, it
would made US SO ashamed Of the fuss we
make over them, that we should be glad
to drop such things, and bury them at
cnce in eternal lorgetfulness. Life is too
short to ba worn out in petty worries,
frettings, hatred and vexations.
