Republican Ruin.

done:
In 1860, after twenty years Of
Democratic rule, a government six

cents.
In 1855. after twenty years Re
/ publican rule. a government four per
cent bond sells at s1.OS.
In 1860, after twenty years Dcm0-
cratic rule, a loan of s1S,000,000 ex-
hausted the market for six months.
/ At the end Of twenty years Repub-
lican rule loan Of Sl50,000000 was
taken in a single day.
In twenty years Of Republican
rule we find:
An increase Of population OF fifty
/ per cent
An increase Of general agricultural
exports Of 900 per cent.
An increase in exports of bread
and bread-stufis of 600 per cent.
An increase Of exports OF maRu-

saw John Meyers enter it, and, CON

pulling off the corn. Miller ran up
and, seizine him by the arm. de

captor His blows were returned
with interest, and this was kept up
until both men got On the pike,
when Meyers drew knife. a weap-

and, rushing on Miller, plunged the
knife into his body. Miller called
to young Kaufman that he had
been stabbed and the boy warned
Meyers not to do it again; but the
murderous thief, declaring that he
would kill him, again ran toward
the wounded man. This time, how
ever, his blow fell short, for young
Kaufman seizing a stone, hurled it
at Meyers, striking him a terrible
blow and telling him insensible to

brought the fight to a sudden termi-
nation and saved the life of Miller,
whose injuries are not considered
fatal. When Meyers returned to
consciousness he was arrested and
brought to this city.

Of her own province. The daugh-

as swift walking relieves intense irrita-

But it is work that fills and rouses the
mind which is the true consider. Histo-

Many highly respectable men in
London about thirty years ago, as the
Punch files tell us, had become thor
oughly impressed with the idea that
something ought to be done to relieve
themselves from certain social duties
which had been gradually growing o
and more OnerOus. After some can
wasting among the interested persons it
was finally decided to form a League of
Bachelors, and as the members of that
league were endeavoring to escape
from responsibilities which are nOto-
riously shirked by the young men
of to-day, we shall perhaps interest our
feminine readers by transcribing a few
of the rules which were laid down
for a London society almost a gener-
alton ago, and which are likely to be
revived before long on this side of the
water:
l.. Every bachelor joining the Lea ,ue
is TO- cancel all previous engagements.
2. Every bachelor having subscribed
for FIVE years to the League, and who,
by misfortune, shall have incurred a
matrimonial engagement, shall be
defended against any action for breach
of promise, and thus saved from the
shame and misery of going through the
Court Of Hymen, which is too fire.
quently another name for the Insolvent
Court.
5. Connected with the League it is
intended to establish a Bachelors In
surance Office, to insure single men
against marriage and Irritation, on the
same principles as are usually applied
to death aud fire. Any member having
visited willfully a house with more than
two manageable daughters, will, in
the event of the calamity of marriage
Detailing him, be recorded in the same
light as felo de sc, and his policy will be
vitiated on account of the very bad
policy that will have guided him. Any
bachelor falling-intO matrimOny-by
his own hand, as in the case of a written
promise to wed, viii be deprived of all
the benefits of his insurance, and every
applicant proposing to be insured must
answer the following questions, among
others that will be proposed to him:
What is your age next birthday? At
what age had your father the misfortune
to marry your mother? Have you
been afflicted with the German or other
mania? Are you subjected to senti-
mental fits? Have you been addicted to
the writing of sonnets? Or have you
ever suffered from the cacoethes scriben-
di in any shape, or at any time whatev-
era Have you at any time in your life
been a victim to the flute, OF any other
deadly-lvely instrument? have any Of
your near relations fallen in love at any
time, and If so, have they recovered, or
have their cases ended fatally?
If these questions are all answered IN
a satisfactory manner, any member OF
the Bachelors League may insure any
amount under 5000, to be paid within
three months of the melancholy termi-
nation of his single career, on proof OF
wedlock having actually Oyertaken him.
The insurance against Irritation or fire
can be effected where the applicant is
than ordinarily infammable, and
water ing-places in the season, balls aud
picnic parties must be considered as
doubly or trebly hazardous, and charged
accordingly.-Boston Times.
