The annual interest account upon this debt
will be 49,, 722, 542.50, which is few thousand
dollars short of an average of AZ per cent. ON
the whole funded debt. The interest charge
on the British debt is twenty-eight million
pounds sterling year, or 140 million dollars.
That of France is about $50 million francs, or
or $50 million dollars. The amount paid for
interest during the years that refunding has
been going on is deceptive, inasmuch as for the
greater part OF the time it has been necessary
to pay double interest. For the next fifteen
months there will be only the normal amount
of interest to be paid.
The partial sclosing up of the funding &C
counts is observable in the changes made in
several items. The cash balance has been nom-
inally depleted by the payment of called bonds
and it is likely to be still further reduced DUR
ing the present month. The statement of cur
rent liabilities shows accurately what the
mands have been met there will remain a ssum
of almost 40 millions available for any
legitimate purpose. By far the largest part of
this sum is in gold
One circumstance, which is the result of the
inability of the government to call in any more
bonds during the next year and more has not
received the attention its Importance deserved.
There will be surplus revenue, after meeting
the ordinary expenses and paying the interest
The appropriations by Congress for the current
JOdl duOuHb W RlOA,tOt.Oto luleTGSb DeluS
added the expense will be little more than
246 millions. The yield of customs will proba-
bly, be as much more than the Secretary's esti-
mate last November as the internal revenue
will fall below it. If this should be the case
the surplus for the year will not fall far short
of 20 million dollars. Whatever it may be it
will add itself to the general stock of unem-
ployed money in the Treasury. 1t cannot be
spent in excess of the appropriations, nor can
any part of it be used in paying off bonds for
none are due, nor is it available for the pur-
chase of bonds for the sinking fund, because
there is no authority to do so when they can
only be bought at a premium The existence
of this surplus may, however, be very useful,
provided it is laid aside in greenback notes,
diminishing by SO much the actual debt of the
United States, and Strengthening the position
of the Treasury.

Rumored Escape of the Nordenskjold Elk

SAN Francisco, Aug. 5.-The Alaska Fur
Company is disposed to consider the reported
escape of the Nordenskiold steamer Vega from
the ice in the Arctic, a canard. They have
late advices from that neighborhood to the eff
feet that the season has been very late on the
Asiatic side, and strong east winds have pre-
vailed, piling up the ice in such manner as to
render it, in their opinion, impossible that the
Vega should have succeeded in working out

THEFARMERs TALISMAN OF
 SUCCESS.

Prosperity is returning to such farmers as are industrious and econ- omical. But the first money made should be De used to extinguish debts if any exist. Let fancy goods of all kinds alone till you are free from the bondage of the debtor. Get out of debt and keep out of debt, and you will always be prosperous.
 Industry and ecomomy-if any farmer wants to know the key to prosperity, the talisman of success, we would just point him to the above paragraph from that excellent far mer's journal, Colman's Rural World. In those few lines we have not only the key to success industry and economy, but we have the fruitful source of all the woes and ills that beset the unwary farmer-DEBT. In dustry and economy will give pros perity and wealth-debt will bring misfortune and poverty.
