How IT PAYS TO TAKE A NEWSPAPER
Some papers are not of much account as to
appearance, but never took one that did not
pay me, in some way, more than paid for it..
Que time an old friend started little paper
away down in Southwestern Georgia and
sent it to me, and | subscribed just to encour-
age him, and after Il while it published Il no.
tice that an administrator had an order to sell
several lots at a public outcry, and one of the
lots was in my county. So L enquired about
the lot, and wrote to my friend to attend the
sale and run it up to fifty dollars He did 50 q,
and bid me off the lot for thirty dollars and
sold it, in month, to Il man it joined for Il
hundred, and so [ made siXty-eight dollars
clear by taking that paper Ny father told
me that when he was Il young man he saw Il
notice in a paper that a school teacher was
wanted away off in Il distant count, and he
went there and got the situation, and Il little
girl was sent to him, and after while she
grew up mighty sweet and pretty, and he fell
in love with her and married her-now, if he
hadn' taken that paper, what do YOU reckon
would have become of me? Wouldn't | have
been some other fellow, or may be not at

THE MICHIGAN SUFFERERS There will
be meeting of ladies in Mercur Hall at four
O'Clock this afternoon to devise plans for rails

One of the greatest considerations for far
mers is the saving of horse flesh, and how to
do it is an important problem. In moving
they find one Of those important factors star
ing them in their faces. The question of how
to avoid it is solved by the New Direct Draft
Eureka Mower, represented at the fair by
that affable general agent. Mr.. l.. Van Horn,
of East Troy, Pa. Another advantage is the
rapidity and evenness in cutting, and ofcourse
the greatest rapiditY in curing. No tedder is
required for hay cut by the Eureka. That it
will find favor with large number of far
mers is assured,

Therevised New Testament has suffered
terrible blow at the hands of Dr. Talmage,
the great leviathan of the Brooklyn pul-
pit, who rises up in his might and de-
nounces the patient ten years labor of the
most eminent scholars of Europe and the
United States as an outrage and a sac>
rilege. They have shown us that there
were errors made by the translators of
King James time and they have correct>
ed those errors. Nobody up to now has
claimed inspiration or infallibility for the
translators of King James day, and it
cannot be denied that the eminent schol~
airs who have just finished revising the
Testament were more competent and
had superior advantages to the men who
270years ego did the work of translation.
But Mr.. Talmagei is one of the men who
seem to think that the lapse of time has
made the mistakes of the translators
sacred. This enlightened minister
breaches to his congregation that they
shall hold on to that which is false and
shut their eyes to the truth, and he, with
his usual theatrical flourish, takes q
solemn oath on King James version
of the Bible that the new version shall
never enter his pulpit-that he will stick
to the false and reject the true. This
exhibition of bigotry and ignorance oc-

The Public Debt.


The public debt statement for May, IS
sued last week, shows reduction Of SIT, =
15O,72i. This is something more than
the recent estimates, and it may be
enough to warrant the predictions that
the total reduction Of the debt for the
fiscal year, which ends June 80, will be
$100,O00,000. This estimate would GER
tainly have been realized but for the very
large demands upon the Treasury for
pensions and other purposes. The total
reduction of the debt to date during this
fiscal year, is $s9, 25O,323 1t will be
necessary to make reduction of $10,749,-
677 in the coming month to reach the
reduction of $100,0OO,O0O for the year.
The United States is the only country in
the world which is making much Feducs
tionin its debt. England moves slowly
and does not think it wise to disturb its
finances by reduction. It is content to
keep even. France has little more pur-
pose, but all other Nations are going in
deeper and deeper. The United States
has now the highest credit of any Nation
in the world, and the name Of being the
most skilful and honest in it's finances.

Mr.. ]. Stanley Brown, the Private Secs
Rotary of President Garfield, left New
York yesterday for London, England,
being the bearer of a large number OF
the "Windoms' or 81 of bonds which
have been issued in continuance of the
per cent. bonds of 1861 and 1863. He
will remain abroad about six weeks, and
during his absence his responsible place
will be filed by Mr.. O. H. Pruden, the
assistant Private Secretary of the Presi>
dent. Mr.. Brown has been an indefatis
gable worker for his friend, the President,
during the past year and his health re-
quired the inauguration of old oceans
breeses.
There has been marked increase in
the receipts Of the Patent Office during
the month of May just ended. The re-
cords of the office show that $4,000 in
round numbers have been paid for issu-
ing patents over and above the amount
received during the month of May 1880.
This speaks well for the industry of the
inventive portion of our population, as
we'll as for the careful discrimination Of
the examiners of the Patent Office. DR..

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent. ]
Washington, D. G., June 4, 1881.

| From Our Regular Correspondence
Washington, D. c., June 4, 1881.
The air is full of rumors of Departs
mental changes. and it is anticipated that
the first of July will be the date of the
instalment of a good many new incum~
bents of the leading offices, especially in
the Treasury Department.. The axe has
already fallen upon the official head of
Mr.. J. NJ. McGrew, the sixth auditor, or
the auditor of the Treasury for the Post
Office. His resignation was requested by
Secretary Window, and accepted. This
was Immediately followed by the res
moval of Mr.. F. B. Lilly, the Deputy sixth
auditor. This was done, it is understood,
in accordance with an agreement made
at cabinet meeting held on Tuesday
last. The cause assigned for these re-
movals, is an illeged completely in the
star route cases, which are now in pros
cess of investigation. The duty ofthe
Sixth auditor is to look into all the ac~
counts of the Post Office Department,
consequently payment to contractors for
transportation of the mails must have
been approved by him. 1t is therefore
presumed that these officers must have
been in some way interested in the ais
legged star route ring which had for Its
object the greatest good to the smallest
number, which princi pie is not exactly
in accordance with the idea Of popular
government. The Hon. j. II. Ella, of
New Hampshire, at present fifth auditor
of the Treasury, will succeed Mr.. McGrew.
This is an advancement, although no in
crease of pay attends it because it is the
only authorship which is not under the
supervisory control of any Comptroller,
or in other words he possesses the COM
bined powers Of Comptroller and Auditor.
Mr.. D. A. Alexander, of Indiana, is
the successor OF iNfr. Ella, as fifth auditor
and was the nominee of Senator Harris
son.
A committee has been for some time
past investigating the accounts Of Mr..
Pitney, custodian of the Treasury De-
partment. There hiss been CONSIDERS
BILE local gossip concerning the matter,
in which the name of the Hon. J. K.
Upton has appeared. 1t can be posis
lively asserted that nothing whatever,
has or can be found that in any way inls
plicates Mr.. Upton in any Of the alleged
irregular transactions of Mr.. Pitney. The
Committee not having made report it is
not even known what, ifany, charges can

dread and perpetual distrust OF every

upon the mental and bodily health of the

The Danger of violent exercise is illus
trated in the case of Professor Cannon, a
Cincinnati athlete. He was formerly a
powerful man, and had abnormally devel-
oped his muscles as director of gymna>
SUM. His health failed suddenly year
ago, and now he is dying of consumption.
He firmly believes that his decline was
caused by blow in the chest, and has
brought suit for damages against the
man who struck him; but the medical
testimony all agrees that ne developed
the disease by straining his system In
lifting. A common feat with him was tc

It cannot be denied that matters are
daily growing worse in Ireland, and that
the outlook is more gloomy than hereto
fore. The situation is becoming still
more complicated, and the government
seems to be at its wits end to devise a
remedy.
Riots occur daily, and arrests are being
made without any apparent cessation of
the troubles.
The Coercion Act has not wrought the
better state of affairs that was hoped for,
but on the contrary seems to aggravate
the difficulty.
The finest troops in the English Army
are now engaged in the ignoble business
ofevicting tenants. The deep and wide~
spread discomfort evinces condition OF
affairs which it is but fair to presume
cannot be settled except by war and
bloodshed. Irish independence is ado
mitted on all sides to be the design OF
Mr.. Parnell, who, from his seat in Parlia-
ment, directs matters with that end in
view, although himself, keeping within
the letter of the law, and thus eluding
the charge of overt acts While he does
not openly advise general strike against
rent, such condition is the logical re-
suit of his counsel. Whether or not in
this he is Ireland's best friend is mat>
ter which the future only may decide,
but it may now be safely set down that
Ireland will know no peace until such
time as the hated authority Of the Crown
is removed from her borders. This may
or may not be yearning for the unat>
tainable. Time only can solve the prob>
lem.
