Making Money.

Some people can hardly make d
liviag and some lay up money.
Why is il? Into a village of a few
hundred inhabitants a young man
came, and was employed as a clerk
in a store;he lived there fifty years
and laid up 500, 900. Other men
worked as hard, but did not lay in
money. Near the village was a
large and beautiful farm. The
owner Of it had IL from his father.
He did not drink or gamble, and
yet he could not make a living,
and so borrowed money and to &c.
cure it gave mortgage on the
farm. In a few years his farm
was sold, and he was obliged to
move away. A Scotchman, with
but little money and a large fami-
ly, passed by and saw that the
house was vacant and struck a bar
gain with the owner. He began to
work, to save, and to pay, and in
ten or twelve years he was the en-
tire owner. Then he went on and
laid up money, and now is a rich
man. The art of making money
is one that should be studied. If
you take a dollar and buy some
thing with it and then sell at a
profit, and keep on doing so, you
Increase your capital. These three
ways are the foundation ways of
money-making, All business is
in one of these three forms. Those
who succeed the best or those who
know the most about what they
do.

DR.. Talmage delivered a dis.
course recently on what he called
"Guiteauism," which he char
acterized as able-bodied beggary.
Such men propose To live by their
wits. They are trying to see what
they can pick mp. They hang
round the headquarters of the po-
litical parties TO see if there are
any crumbs and hurrah for the
candidate who they think will be
successful. Washington is full of
them. All the trees around the
White House were full of these
crows when Garfield was shot.
That frightened them off their
roosts, but they are now as thick
as ever. They are as strong and
enthusiastic now for Arthur as
they were for Garfield then. Their
chief apostle Is Guiteau. The
most OF them will soon be despon-
dent aud mad enough to suit any
thing from a President down To a
sapling. The most of them will
come home with no official APP
pointments and without a cent in
their pockets. What then will

The Expenses of GarfieId's
Illness.

The Congressional committee APP
pointed to audit the expenses attend
ing the illness of the late President
Garfield will probably make their re.
port to Congress the first of next
week, and will recommend an appro.
priation between 500, 900 and $780,
600. The Democratic members OF
the Committee are opposed to appro-
priating o than 500, 900. They
claim that amount to be amply sufi-
Gent to meet all legitimate expenses
incurred. One or two are in favor
of appropriating nothing ut all, tax
ing the ground that a president is no
moro entitled to have his extraordi-
nary expenses betrayed by act of
Congress than tho ordinary Ameri-
can citizen. They are perfectly will
ing to appropriate a full years sala-
~ to the late Presidents family,
however. From a source which APP
pears to be reliable, it was learned
that the committee, in consequence
of divided opinion, would report the
resolution back recommending that
an appropriation be made, but speci-
Tying no stated sum, leaving it to
Congress to agree upon a figure.
The resolution offered in the Senate
by Senator Edmunds concerning
these expenses provides for ian ap-
preparation of 800 900, or as much
thereof as may be necessary 1t is
understood that Senator Edmunds
will not be convinced that the cost
can possibly exceed that sum, and
there are many who are inclined to
believe that not more than 500, 900
will be appropriated. The heaviest
expense will be the fees of the ply
sicians. The most liberal estimate
does not fix the amount for that SER
vice at more than sos 900. Assum-
ing that the physicians will be allow.
ed that sum between them and $780,
900 is appropriated for all, there will
still remain $685. 900 to be divided
among the nurses ,and for other pur-
poses.

been in the hands of the ten per cent

them have been obliged to get their

to charge that Gen. Walker, the late
Superintendent, was too liberal in
expanding the funds for unnecessary

put up a leather medal at a church
fair, in New York, during the holt
days, to be given to the most unpop-

Every person paying ten cents was
allowed to cast a vote. Conceiving
himself to be a popular man, he had
no apprehsnsions that he would be
selected to wear his own medal, but
he soon found out that he was the
favorite. He and his friends turned
out strongly, and, at a cost of about

a picturesque little deed of kind
ness on Christmas Eve. He sent
a small and ragged newsboy from
whom he usually buys his papers
at the Capitol and had the youth

amiable Senator took the boy to

We take the following from the
Hagerstovn Herald and Torchlight,
of this week.
The Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
has been closed for the season, and
the water was drawn off on Monday
last. The work of widening and
frightening the locks will now be
pushed forward.
During the year just closed there
were erected in Hagerst0wn one hun
bred and seventy-seuen new houses,
including some of the handsomeSt
and most expensive in the place,
among which may be mentioned the
Humrichouse building, the First
Hose Company building, and the
First National Bank building.
Recently the G. V. r. r. has ad-
ded two new express cars, and one
new combination a to its rolling
stock. The new combination car is
forty-fve feet long; the older ones
are forty one. 1t is expected to have
a new mail car for the mail train
early in the new year. All the new
cars to be put on The road VIII be of
the same size, style and color of the
Pennsylvania cars.
A shooting affair occurred at Har-
per's Ferry, w. Va, on Saturday,
Dec. oath, between DR.. Hartgrove,
dentist and Cutshaw Chambers, re-
sulting in the instantaneous death OF
Chambers. 1t seems that Chambers
had been guilty of some misconduct
the evening previous and the author
tiles the next day deputized DR..
Hartgrove TO arrest him. Hartgrove
proceeded to arrest him and Cham
bers made as though he would resist
him, when Hartgrove drew his pis-
tol and shot him dead on the spot.
He at once gave himself up and was
taken to the C~harlestown Jail, where
he is now cofined. Chambers was
considered "A desperate character and
was much feared in the cOmmuni-
ty. He was a son of George Cham
bers, who several years ago killed in
cold blood old man Hagan, a most
worthy citizen of Harper's Ferry.

Eds. Independent.
Believing a few words by way of
reporting the entertainment given
by the officers and members of the
NJ. Z. Church to the Sabbath School
in connection Herewith, would not
be unwelcome, we ask a little space
in your popular and excellent jour
nal for its publication. This enter
tainment took place on Monday
night, December 26, 1881. Although
the night was a very unfavorable
one being dark and rainy, a large
crowd was in attendance. The
church, a large and roomy one, was
taxed to its utmost to seat the crowd
in attendance.
The school for whose benefit this
entertainment was given, is an old
and prosperous one, and from our
knowledge of its conduct and work
ings, deserves all the trouble and eX-
pense incurred in getting it up. The
superintendent, j. II. C~lendenning,
Esq, assisted by others connected
with the school, did everything in
their power to make the evening pass
pleasantly. We are satisfied they
succeeded,> as everybody seemed to
enjoy themselves to the utmost. In
front of the pulpit stood a large
Christmas tree, with its branches
fairly grooming beneath the load of
gifts and presents for lie school,
both old and young receiving each
an appropriate gift. W. could see
by the smiling, happy faces of the
little mes how much they were en-
joying the scenes around them. If
this were all that was accomplished
by this entertainment, if no m Of
all the assemblage enjoyed the hour
spent there, the knowledge of the
fact that we had contributed to the
happiness and pleasure of these little
children, if only for a moment,
would amply compensate US for all
the labor and expense OF preparing
for the entertainment. There are
doubtless many of us who do not
have more than our share of this
worlds pleasure, and some of us, we
fear, have but a very small allow
ance, and if we IA be the means of
lifting the heavy load of care, and it
may be grief, even for a little while,
we are doing good as we go through
the world. sg
The program for the evenings ex-
ercises was as follows: School called
to order by the Superintendent;
Music, lead by Miss George Pitzer
at the organ; Prayer, by the the pas
tor, Rev. Mr.. Wood; Remarks by
Superintendent as to membership,
progress, &c of the school; address
by the pastor; music; distribution of
presents, &c.
In distributing the gifts, the school
was called up in small sections, and
each party, after having received
their gifts, was dismissed by a few
remarks from the pastor. During
all this present-making, the worthy
and popular pastor of the church
and his lady were not forgotten, but
each received appropriate gifts from
the school aud members of the con-
gregatiou. Mr.. Wood came among
us last March a perfect stranger,
but in the short time he has been
with us has made hosts of friends.
He is a good preacher and we believe
a good and popular man. His year
is drawing to "a close, but We ear
nestly hope he may be returned to US
another year.
The exercises of the evening were
closed with the doxology and bene-
diction. Thus ended the Christmas
exercises at the Bunker Hill M. T..
Church. OCCASIONAL.

one of " La Mascotte," in which Miss
Oates portrayed her part in a manner
satisfactory to the large audience gath
