BLAcK ON GARFIELD.

Judge Black says that Gen. Gar
field agreed to take the Credit Mo-
billier stock, land did actually take
dividends upon it," This was the
statement which Gen Garfield him
self made TO him = Fearing that bis
political friends might Influence him
to depart from it, wrote him, be-
seeching him to stand fast upon the
defence he had made to me, but the
party would not let him"
The Republicans have been fond
of quoting Judge Black viii they
now produce the letter alluded to
above 1t is 10 Gen. Garfeld's per-
sonaI possession, and if it does not
prove that be confessed privately
facts which he publicly denied under
oath, he will not be slow in publish

THE VALUE OF A DOLLAR

1t is only appreciated by those VIII ,
ere forced to earn it by severe lanor
The high salaried man at the Begin
ing fails to learn what its intrinsic
estimate is. Those who receive
cents for excessive labor and are de
termined to rise above their vocation,
are aware how slowly the money is
accumulated. The largest capitalists
have declared the first one thousand
dollars were the most difficult. of all
their possessions to acquire. The
youth beginning with large pay most
frequently ends with small. He
learns to contemn nickels, but these
tiny amounts give the nucleus of
thousands. The truly ambitious
must learn the hard lessons of sd
versity 10 the practical school. With
meagre emolument he cannot com
pete with gay and lavish There is
10 cause why he should not be cheer
full and content, but every reason
why he should rot become accus-
toned to expensive habits which he
cannot afford. He laughs best who
laughs last. The born rich rarely
hold their weolth for long period.
To become familiar with the in
trinsic value of dollar the boy must
learn it by hard work. He cannot
ascertain it by having ample funds
and uolimised desires The history
of successful merchants and trades
men show that they began life under
difficulties and while forced to econo
mize because of small remuneration,
by steady and patient efforts won
their way to fortune.
The great secret of pecunlary sue
cess is to spend less than one makes
Debt is the easiest thing on earth to
incur, and it is one of the direct roads
to poverty Mesgre pay cannot sup
port cigars and liquors. Many wants
are fictitious. They can be dispensed
with. Live while you can," say
you Theu the nearer is poverty
and the miserable ending. Better be
temperate and healthy aud accumu-
late while life is young and enjoy
maturity. That is a huge mistake
to suppose that years blunt the sen
satiOns of real enj Iyment. With
years the delights become more rea~
sonable, more blissfuI, altogether diff
ferent from the hot house decisions
of riotous passions.
81 do not love dollar" we hear
some say when INDUCING 10 extrav
agance and spending that which be
longs to Others. We never hear such
from those who have earned a com,
potency. 1t would be better were
the value more appreciated, and
more affection bestowed upon the in~
animate object that commands so
many blessings that the anxious
creditors might be relieved of cares.
None have right to indulge in lux
uries until they can pay for necesSi
ties Without the dollar, existence
is weary waste; with it, the sun
shines brighter, the stars dance more
merily, music sounds with a loveier
note and hearts are happiest. The
dollar rightly owned is magic tails

THERE is rumor that in the event
of a Republican defeat in Indiana
ex- President Grant may succeed
Garfield upon the Republican Presi>
deutiaI ticket, and that in the event
of Democratic victory in Ohio this
change will certainly be made The
rumor is hardly credible. Still,
there is bare possibility that it is
we'll foul ded. 1t is quite certain
that Conkling and Cornell cannot be
induced to call the New York legis,

long as Garfield would be benefited

WoMEN as HARYEsTGRs.

Mr.. Bret Harte has written from
Europe to a friend in this country
that, seeing how women abroad work
in the fields, he thanks heaven he
lives in a republic where there are
men enough to do that sort Of work.
On which the Chicago News says :
"He is right as to the sufiiaiency of
men, but wrong as to the Supposi,
ton that they relieve the women
If Mr.. Harte could make circuit Of
this city, within a radius of twenty
miles, he would see, in seed time and
harvest, in storm and shine, in hot
and cold weather, field after field
dotted with women doing the work
of men. He would see them pillow
ing, hoeing, wedding, sweeping the
scythe through the grass, raking
hay, pitching off loads of fertiliziog
material, and with stubborn pur~
pose doing more and better woI k
than the men who employ them. =
The same sight is presented through
out the great North west" This
serves to show that the people who
inhabit the northwest continue the
customs of the country from which
they came.

SMALL CHANGE

The Washington Star of Saturday
says; The demand for fractional
silver has doubled within the past
week. The demand is principally
for quarters, dimes and half eimes.
Mich of the silver is sent out 10 $40
bags, which go through the mails as
registered matter. This is getting
to be quite a popular way of order
ing silver, in places where there are
no banks and distant from the cen>
tres where fractional silver accumu
lates. Some silver has been sent ia
this way to post Offices as far dis
tant as Oregon. It is noticed that
in sending orders to the treasury,
the term fractional silver coin is
very frequently construed to include
one two and three cent pieces and
nickIes, but it does not. These
coins should be ordered direct from
the mint, The cashier of the treas
ury is now shipping to various parts
of the country, principally the South
and West, about $500 in frac'
Iional currency daily.

THE PROSPECT.

Benjamin f. Butler has been CAM
paigning 10 Ohio and Indiana, max
ing upwards Of twenty speeches --
He declares hs has no fear of Lam
ders' election. The state, he says is
certain for Hancock by an increased
majority in November. His expec"
tations of Ohio are nearly as hopeful
for the Democracy. He asserts that
Ohio is a doubtful state for the Re
publicans. and while the democrats
may not carry it in October, the
republicans vote will show a fatal
falling of. The forced effort of the
republicans to keep up their vote in
Garheld's home district is to him a
confession of great weakness. Han,
cock will win, said he there is no
mistake about it. It's in the air,
and every man feels it. Any cam
did republican must confess that the
Garfield cause is weak ening.
