reduction Of the National Debt.

Reduction Of the National Debt.
The debt which this nation incurred in
subduing the southern rebellion was IN
immense burden 1t required men Of
courage and ability in the councils Of the
nation to face the responsibility of at
tempting to pay it. 1t was such an UNDER
taking a. the world never before saw at
tempted, and the most experienced states
men Of the wisest and strongest nations on
the other continent declared that it could
only result in failure. Nevertheless the
republican party boldly took its stand in
favor Of paying the debt. principal and in
terest. every dollar Of it. according to the
bond. with result which as Mr.. Glad
stone says has challenged the admira-
ton Of the world"
Representative Dingley in his recent
remarks in the House in favor of a two
per cent bond, has shown in a very able
and clear manner what has been done in
the way Of reducing the public debt since
the close of the rebellion. The interest
bearing and on-interestbearing indebted
ness OF the nation August 81, 1865. is
shown by the following table:
Debt bearing per cent interest, t6is.l2s

Besides the foregoing debt there were
$3.50, 900 900 of war claims not then as
certained and not included in the above
statement. The large sum which has
likewise been paid to soldiers and sailors
for pensions is of course to be taken in
to account, but could not be included in
any statement OF the debt. Now let us
look at the results. The reduction of the
debt for the several fiscal years since Au-
gust 1865 has been as follows:

Coed Manners at Home.
From the Youths Companion.l


The following twelve rules for the pre-
servation of good manners at home are
worth memorizing:
L. Shut every door after you without
slamming it.
2. Never stamp, jump, or run in the
house.
3. Never call to persons up stairs, or
in the next room; if you wish to speak to
them, go quietly where they are.
4. Always speak kindly and politely to
the servants, If you would have them do
the same to you.
5. When told to do or not to do things,
by either parent, never ask why you
should or should not do it.
6. Tell of your own faults, not of
those of your brothers and sisters.
7. Carefully clean the mud and snow
from your boots or shoes before enter
ing the house.
s. Be prompt at every meal.
9. Never sit down at the table or in
the parlor with dirty hands or tumbled
hair.
10. Never interrupt and conversation,
but wait patiently for your turn to
speak.
II. Never reserve your good manners
for strangers, but be equally polite at
home and abroad.
H. Let your first, last, and best con-
fdant be your mother.

A Mystery Explained.
[From Chamber,s Journal.l

The late fatal explosion on board Fl.
M. S. Triumph reveals the fact that our
navy has for some time past been pro-
vided by the government with kegs of
material representing internal machines
of the most deadly kind. Xerotine
siccatiue is acompound of boiled linseed
oil and certain metallic oxides or salts.
Under the name of "dliers, such COM
pounds are continually used for mixing
with oil colors, SO that they may readily
dry; and hitherto, such harmless materi-
ais as litharge, red lead, plaster of Paris,
etc., have been enlisted into this SER
vice. Latterly, however, salts forming
very unstable compounds when mixed
with oil, have come into use; and for
some uncomprehensible reason, their
dangerous nature has been unknown to
the authorities. The mystery attaching
the awful Doterel explosion, when the
whole crew was sacrificed, is now explain
ed. We may feel certain that calam
lty such as this will never be allowed to
occur again from the same cause

Uncle Alvin Interviewed.
GFrom the Salt Lake Tribune.l


Uncle Alvin Joslin played to packed
at his best, and many who had witnessed
his former efforts were of the opinion
that the old man never appeared to bet
ter advantage in his inimitable role.
The audience were kept in one continual
laugh whenever he appeared on the
stage. The play has more laughs in it
to the square minute than anything on
the boards, and Mr.. Davis always makes
the most of every situation. The writer
was particularly impressed with the
lively manner in which the old man
''hustled" with the boys in the wicked
city of New York, especially since he
had heard day or two since that Uncle
ALVIN was somewhat under the weather.
Repairing to the Walker House after the
play was over, the writer was shown to
the rooms of the great comedian. He
was received with one of those peculiar
smiles which makes the gallery stand on
its head and the whole house to break
into an emphatic laugh.
Uncle Alvin, said the reporter, 81

"Was it sufficiently severe to confine
you to your room ?"
ooh, as to that, it was sufficiently
painful for any purpose, but ( kept
'hustling all the time. One night on
the U. p. Road I suffered horribly, and

used two bottles Of the Great German
Remedy, and received immense relief
from it. I can certainly recommend it
very highly as a good iniment."
Bidding Uncle Alvin goodnight, the
reporter departed, rejecting upon the
above statements and strongly impressed
with the feeling that if it had not been
for ST. Jacobs Oil Alvin Joslin would
not have been able to delight our people
as he did last night and will do tonight.

Northern Georgia has the oldest gold
mining camp in the United States-the
Dahlonega Mining District. Reds
mine, in North Carolina, was worked by
white men long before the Cherokee In
dams, who possessed this country, were
induced to show where in it they found
their nuggets and dust. Nevertheless,
the same CherOkees sold gold to the
whites of Virginia and traders 200 years
or more ago. The immense rings of
gold for the ears and nose, which were
worn by so many chieftains and warriors
spoken of in American history, were
made from gold washed out and picked
up by the Cherokees in this same gold
belt of Georgia. They, too, had In their
crude way learned the art of fashioning
their gold into rings and other orna-
ments. In youth [ used to meet hunters
who had passed many seasons among the
Cherokees; they had seen the Indians
making ornaments. They made bowls
or rude crucibles out OF soapstone, which
abounds here n large quantities, and
which makes very superior fire-proof
crucible. Over a pit filled with pitch
pine these bowls were placed, and the
gold melted TO mass, and before cool
ing hard they separated it into smaller
pieces of equal size, as near as they
could Judge. Then another soapstone
bowl was placed on the ground and char
coal placed IN 1t. Over this charcoal q
plate Of soapstone was laid. The coal
was then ignited. The artisan who man.
ipulated gold for iewelry had four as
eistants TO aid him in his work. Each
of these had hollow cane about four
feet in length, through which he blew
upon the coal in the crucible or bowl,
tbus creating white heat and making
the gold laid on the plate most easily
managed. Round, pointed jasper or
other finty stones we're used, instead OF

Insaccents made the sogl of sound
heplying to my laughing voice,
Rejoice ~
There lotereth by flock of sheep,

The tlnkling of their hundred bells.
In sympathy with me the steep
taxes up the wild pelI-Inell of sound.
Makes Jargon human in rebound,
Compels uproar to flow along
In song.
Hhere curves the lakes green crescent coast.
Inc hshers flock with net and boat.
WIN song and shout ashore aloat:
leL All the babble of their host
Melts into music in rebound,
Confusion into tuneful sound,
one heart of overlooking cheer
Behind me is the mur1nurous sigh
And rusthng of the forest trees,
While .oud or low as flows the breeze
Comes song of birds afar and nigh,
And, sheaved into the one rebound,
One note on Echo's lips is found,
AS If from one poetic brain,
The strain.
And thus from all the race ascends
Earth's myriad sigh and song and prayer
OF hope, OF anguish, praise, despair;
But gathered into one dezcend5
