Webster,s Financial Weakness.

Persons who knew Webster intimately
in his early life were wont to speak OF
him, to put it delicately. as entirely de-
void of business methods and business
ideas. Charles Sumner mentioned, more
than once, an experience he had with
the godlike Daniel, whose successor he
was QS50) in the national Senate. 1t
was while Sumner was practicing law in
Boston, years before he had acquired
any general reputation. He and Web
ster had defended the Commonwealth In
suit, and had been allowed 81 900 each
into Summers Office and said, "rm
going over to the State House, Sumner,
to get my 81 900, and I'll get yours, too,
if you like" Sumner, it seems, had
some knowledge of his associates pecul-
iarities, and declined the proposal with
thanks; and, when it was urged, de-
clared emphatically that he preferred to
ct his money remain where it was. Cali
right, then," replied Webster, and de-
parted. But when he went to the State
House he drew Summers fee as well as
his own, the clerk having no doubt that
he bad been authorized to do SO and
the eminent barrister, 1t is understood,
| died indebted to his younger colleague
| for that amount
Webster's fame was that he never took
any notice of his debts, and that he was
totally reckless of money. ALI he wanted
was supplied by his Boston admirers,
and it slipped through his fingers like
quicksilver. He appeared to be 50 fully
aware of his idiosyncrasy as to jest
about it.

The Two Platforms.

1t is very much the habit of political
Journals to endorse indiscriminately the
nominations and platforms of their own
party, and denounce, also indiscrlml-
nately, the nominations and platforms OF
the opposition. So much is this the
case, that the unprejudiced voter Is
driven frequently to disregard the utter
ances of the journals on both sides, and,
if he has no time to make thorough ex-
animation for himself, to vote in the
dark. It is fortunate for such that we
have, thus early in the canvass, a rea-
sonably Independent opinion concerning
the two platforms, adopted at Chicago
and Cincinnati respectively The New
York Herald which, spite of certain Re
publican leanings, approaches more
nearly the standard of independence
than any other leading paper, compares
the two platforms, as follows:
The Cincinnati platform seems the more sim
cere and straightforward of the two. 1t may
contain some superhuous declarations, but
none, 30 far as we can discover, which are not
honest. 1t denounces Capitalization, but no
body doubts that this is the real and settled
view Of. the Democratic party. It declares
against sumptuary laws. and the. Democratic
party has always consistently opposed them
The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-07-22

Out of one dollar bill IA" he clips a
piece through the head of Washington
three-eighths of an inch wide, and cut
with artistic irregularity. The two ends
of the bill are, brought little closer to-
gether than they were before the piece
was takel out, and rough continuation
of the lines of the head is made with
ink upon the white surface of the gum.
med paper beneath. The bill is then
artistically dirtied, and is ready for shov-
ing. Bill "Bn is then taken up, and a
section three quarters of an inch, OF
twice as large as that taken out of stA" is
then removed; the piece taken out of
car is then inserted between the two
ends Of "B, the pasting, mixing and
dirtying repeated, and this bill is also
ready for the market. A section an inch
and half wide is then removed from
&C." and the three-quarters cut from
"B" let in, and so the process is con-
tinued, each bill, instead of its true
length of seven and three-quarter inches,
being only seven inches. The first one
is the most dangerous, because it Is hard
to doctor up the head of the Father of
his Country in a way that the children of
the same will not recognize the old
gentleman, and hence this bill is left the
longest of the lot
1t is easy to see that out Of every nine
bills there is an extra bill left over,
making ten dollars for nine. Working
as hard as he could, Mr.. Hill could not
have made more than from three to five
dollars per day-rather small sum for
the risk he ran, as it was necessary to
shove fifty Of the mutilated dollars to
make five. sf @ IH

Literary Recluses.

Mr.. Ryan, librarian of the Kilkenny
Library Society, made books his idols,
denying himself every luxury and not q
few necessaries In order to. add to his
collection; the well-furnished library of
which he was custodian being insufficient
to satisfy his literary cravings. He lived
in the upper part of the society's
premises, but permitted no one to enter
his rooms for any purpose whatever. On
his sudden death, in 1866, their privacy

had been the sole delight and occupation
of his wasted life. tfsfr
