A failure to settle the debt does
not extinguish it. The proposition
now Offer ed may be rejected, but the
debt exists in all its force. / have
no anticipation Of ultimate repudi
alton. By rejecting liberal or fair
terms we may incur all the odium
of Reputation, but still in the end
have the debt to pay, perhaps, in
whole with it's accumulated inter
est, or nearly so. States in former
times have defaulted and yet finally
paid their debts after years of re-
fusal. We may put off the day of
payment, but it will come upon US
or our children with terrible force.
The storm which has been gather
ing for years and which now lowers
above US, will finally break and will
almost overwhelm us with it's fierce
ness. 1t is to escape this that / am
now in favor of making a reasona-
BILE and fair settlement which we
can carry out without serious inju-
ry. 1t is as a friend of"low taxes"
to use catch word, that l favor

Good Breeding.

An exchange says: Much rs VIC hope for
rom the future, what just now jsopards
our public and social welfare is not old but
Young America. Half century ago there
vas among US real respect for aged peo-
pie, outside OF the circle of near kinship.
Boys and girls on the roadside were not
ashamed to make their manners 10 their
elders, who, in turn, had the poli,sness to
r;turn their courteous thanks for this
youthful civility. That was a good symp-
tom of the social sentiment But the
movement of the spirit of the age has left
this mostly behind; and with this respect
full feeling for those whose years and posi-
ton entitle them to an honorable regard
has gone, to 4 perilous extent, the rever-
ence of many for the authority Of tho pa.
rsntal rule, for tho authority also of the
state and the statute book. 1t is very
difficult 10 break down proper habit Of
esteem for one object and not involve
weakening of respect for others. II is very
difficult to bring up that lad into trusty,
law abiding citizen who has cultivated the
voice of contemptuous disregard for his
elders and his betters. Sometimes there
has been servile Difference to these, which
IS the leaning over of virtue to TIE other
side. That is not our danger. Now and

Notions About Bats.

Numerous fanc;ful notions are enter

be able To see III the dark, aud that they
are bloody and vengcful in their nature.
As concerns seeing in the dark. that IS
quite erroneous. Their power OF avoiding
obstacles when flying in dsrkcned places is
not due To their eyes, but to keen seusibil-
ity in their wings. The thin, leathery
wings of bats are their antcnr;v or feelers

Lucky Numbers.

The silly belief in lucky numbers has no
where been carried to a more absurd extent
than in reference to lottery tickets. In the
reign of George |. the footman of a lady of
quality dreamed that two particular num-
bers would turn up prizes. He bought
these two tickets on the following day, but
they both turned up blanks, and he put an
end TO his existence. In his trunk was
found memorandum to the effect that,
when his riches came to him, he would
marry Grace Farmer, that he would make
her wait upon him, and that he would eat
and drink all day long. Toward the end
OF the same reign mathematician, famil-
lar with the theory of probabilities, dem
onstrated that, in 4 particular year, the
chances were a, 800 to against particu-
lar number winning the 80, 600 prize; H.
669 to against a 5000 prize; and to
against obtaining any prize at all. But all
such warnings were of no use. A bank

the street. He had bought a ticket bear.
