Some Things to Disbelieye.

WHEN a man advertises for q part
ner, and wants young man to put in
small investment of 500 or $500, and
promises to pay him realization of
fifty or one hundred per cent profit.
don't believe it. When g man offers to
give away knowledge, of the utmost
value for the cure of consumption
and any and all other diseases, by mere
ly sending three cent postage stamp
to prepay postage, don't believe it,
When man proposes to make every
one else rich, and looks to other peo-
pies interest more than to his own,
don't believe it. When a man offers TO
give you, something of great value for
something of less value other words,
give something for nothing, don't be-
lieve it. Many persons advertise ON
purpose to fitch men of money gained
by hard labor, and before entering into
any speculation which may be offered
to you, take advantage OF the many
means at your command and ascertain
the facts with reference to the proposed
business before you invest, and thus
save your money as well as assist in
effectually breaking up all swindling

A LATE Dublin dispatch says: Ac-
: counts received from various parts of Ire
land by agents for property represent that
the ssfate of the country is still more dis
turbef and demoralized. The combination
against the payment OF rents is extending
into districts hitherto peaceable. Tenants
: who do not pretend to be unable TO pay their
rents,rneet their landlords defiantly, and in
some cases decline to pay at all, or demand
an arbitrary abatement. Five per-
sons have been arrested near Loughrea,
, County Galway, for assisting to reinstate
family in house from which II had been
evicted. All were remanded for trial. A
policeman was shot and wounded at West
ford, County Clare. Farmers have combined
and VIII prevent hunting there this season.
The custodian Of a farm near New Pailas,
from which tenant had been evicted, was
shot and badly wounded. The Irish Land
League has investea its funds in foreign Sc
curities and deposited them in n Continental
bank, to forestall seizure.

An Awful Record,
n. Y. Sun.

Az. L. SuAI.
The character of Gen. Garfield can be
When, in 1872, the Credit Mobillier bri-
Congress were first exposed, Gen. Garfield
mediately publishing letter expressly
and positively denying that he had any
share in it. Next, on Jan. IA, 1878, he ar
peared before the committee of the House
of Representatives, and under oath de-
clared: s. | never owned, received, or
agreed to receive any stock of the Credit
Mobillicr, or of the Union Pacific railroad,
nor any diD,dcnd or profits arising from either
Of Mem.'
But on Jan. %, next following, the Hon.
Oakes Ames was examined before the
same committee, and proved by record
evidence, partly in Gen. Garfield's own
handwriting, that Gen. Garfield had had
stock in the Credit Mobilier and that he
had received dividends thereupon. Mr..
Ames also testified that Gener
Garfield had visited him subsequent
to the commencement of the inves-
tigation by the House, and had en-
deavored to induce him to swear before
the committee that money thus
paid him as dividends had besn delivered
to him as loan; and yet at the very same
time that he had endeavored to procure
false testimony from Mr.. Ames, Gen.
Garfield had called upon Ames to pay him
an additional sum Of money on account of
the Credit Mobilier, claiming that the div
idends he had already received had not
been as large as they should have been.
A perjurer, and man who attempts
to suborn perjury, is not fit to be presi-
dent.
One other important feature in the his
tory of Gen. Garfield is his relation to the
De Golyer paving contract. One De Col
yer had made a contract with the Shep-
herd ring in Washington to put down a
quantity Of patent pavement. General
Garfield was chairman of the COM
mittee on appropriations in the House
of Representatives. In order to pay for
this patent pavement an appropriation was
needed from Congress. The sum of five
thousand dollars was paid to Gen. Gar
field on behalf of De Golyer, and appro-
priations to the amount of millions of dol
lars were thereafter granted to the Wash
ington ring, the appropriation for the
De Golyer pavement being included there
