What ne Owe.

Twenty-eight cents was the per
capita proportion of the nation
debt in 1858. In 1865 the cost OF
war had swollen the per capita to
more than Seventy-eight dollars and
the annual interest per capita was
four dollars and twenty cents. Then
the payment OF the debt began, and
on the 1st of July last the per cap
tia principal was only twenty eight
dollars, showing an average reduc-
ton of nearly three dollars per cap
tia for each of the last eighteen
years. The interest charge per cap
tia is now ninety-fiVe cents. The
elaborate analysis made by the
Treasury Department, from which
these figures are extracted, shows
that there was less cash in the cOf-
fers of the government in 1861
than i'm any other of the twenty
seven years embraced IN the doc
ument, the amount then being less
than three million dollars, as
against three hundred and fifty-five
million cash in the Treasury to-day.
The monthly interest charge, which
in 1857 was only one hundred and
thirty-nine thousand dollars, had
nine years later grown to the max
imum of twelve and a half millions
and is now down to four and a
quarter millions.

lemon Juice as a Madlcrna.

Most people know the value Of
lemonade before breakfast, but few
know how ii Is more than doubled
by taking it at night also. The way
to get the better of a bilious sys-
tenn without the use of pills or quiz
nine is to take the juice of one, two
or three lemons, as the appetite
Graves, in as much ice water as
makes it pleasant to drink, without
sugar, before going to bed. In the
morning or rising, on half an hour
before breakfast, take the juice of
one lemon in goblet of water.
This will clear the system of hu-
mors and bile with mild efficiency,
without any of the weakening eff
fects of calonel. or congress water.
People should not irritate the stom-
ach by eating lemons clear. The
powerful acid of the juice, which is
almost corrosive, invariably produ-
ces inflammation after a while, but
diluted SO that it does not burn or
draw the throat, it does its full med
ical work without harm, and when
the stomach is clear of food has
abundant opportunity to work on
the system thoroughly.

How We Saved Two States.


1t Is fact not generally known
lhal but for the knowledge and pa
tfIOtIsin OF one man the valuable
lands embraced in Oregon and
washington Territory would now
pc the property of Great Britain
instead Of the United States. The
hudson Bay Company, forty-five
years ago, were very anxious 10 OBJ
tam possession OF these lands, and
Indnstriously circulated the report
That they could never be settled, as
II was impossible for immigrants to
cross the mountains in wagons.
Alta public dinner given in 1872,
at which several officers of the
Hudson Bay Company were press
ent, news was received that a band
OF British immigrants had crossed
the mountains. ToaStS were drunk
Ia tlOnor OF the event, and one en-
thusIastic EIglishnan exclaimed :
Nov the Americans may whistle,
the country is ours.o There hap
pened to be present an American
missionary, Dr. Marcus Whitman,
vino, when he heard the boast of
the Englishnlan. resolved that if il
were in his power 10 prevent 1t the
country should not become the prop
erty OF the English. The next day
he started for Washington on horse
back, and making the journey in
winter time, with frozen limbs pre-
scented himself, immediately upon
his arrival at the capital to Daniel
Webster, then secretary of State.
After he had stated his case, Web
ster bluffly told him the country
WAS worthless, and that wagons
could not cross the mountains.
"Sir George Simpson, who is here,
affirms that" said he, land / am
about trading that worthless region
Tor some valuable concessions III re-
lation TO the Newfoundland fisher
ies.''
DR.. Whitman was i'll distress, for
ne found that the treaty had alrea-
dy been approved by the Senate,
and was awaiting formal ratifica-
ton and the signature of President
Tyler. He decided as last hope 10
call upon the President himself.
After hearing him through, Presi-
dent Tyler said: "Dr. Whitman
your frozen limbs and leather
breeches attest your sincerity. Can
you take enigrantS across the noun
tainS in wagons !" 'GiVe me six
months and / will take a thousand
elnigrants across" was the reply.
We'll" said the President, ''if you
take them across the treaty snail
not be ratified" With much effort
the band of emigrants was raised,
and, though they were met by
deputatiOn from the Hudson Bay
Company who declared that il was
impossible to cross the mountains
and were almost persuaded to aban-
don their wagons, before the time
expired succeeded III their under
taking. The patriotic missionary
was vindicated, the treaty was not
ratified, and what will doubtless
prove TO be two of the best of cur
States were saved to the Union.

A New Line of Steamers.

y new line of vessels, compris-
ing both steamers and sailing
ships, has been organized by capt.
talists of Belfast, Ireland, to ply
between that place and Philadel-
phia. The organization is known
as the "Irish Ship-owners' Compa-
ny Limited" 1t will be called the
Lord Line, and is controlled entire
ly by Irish capital. The vessels be-
longing to it will be named after
prominent Irish noblemen, and
float flag bearing the shamrock.
The first vessel built, the Lord Duff
ferin, arrived at Philadelphia on
Monday last with a cargo of salt,
consigned to Williams Brockle.
The line will be devoted principal

Rev. VIM. Burr.
Shelbyville Gazette.

At the close of conference now in
session, the Rev. William Burr
Will close his third year rs pastor of
the Methodist church at this place.
The past six months he has been
unable to attend to his duties as
pastor in his accustomed manner
much of the time being away from
his congregation and in bed. Still
his influence has been felt, and the
church built up. During the last
four months Rev. w. r. Sims has
filled his pulpit and attended to
other matters as well. But we be-
gan to speak of Mr.. Burr. Forty
four years ago, when mere boy,
he iuined the Tennessee Conference,
and from that time has not failed
a single year to receive an active
appointment from the Bishop. Go
where you may in Middle Tennes-
see or North Alabama you will
find that "Billy Burr" as many
old people kindly call him, has
been there before you. In these
forty-four years he has travelled the
toughest circuit and biggest dis
trictS, and filled the most elegant
stations in the conference; and has
occupied all classes of places with
the same cheerfuiness of spirit and
devotion to God and his cause.
Bishop McTyiere has remarked
that very few men have made so
deep an impress upon the genera
ton as William Burr. And he is
still among us and eXerting, if pos
sible, hOlier and more powerful
influence than ever in his life. This
may seem a strange writing, but
we could not refrain from saying
these things as in evidence of our
most hearty appreciation of the la
bors of this good man; and that,
too, at the time when so many of
his brethren in the ministry will
read them. And we but voice the
sentiment of this entire town in
saying he has grown in the a1fec-
ti0n Of the people every day since
he came.

4 Southern Man on the Ticket.

In the event that tire next Ma
tional Democratic Convention
should be of the opinion that a
Southern man should be placed up
on the ticket, there is no name more
fitting than that of Ex-Gov. James
d. Porter, of Tennessee. 1t needs
no eulogy III the South, where it is
recognized as a synonym of all that
constitutes heightened manhood
and a broad, intelligent statesman-
ship that has won success in every
position to which he has been cali
ed since early manhood. There are
many others in the South who pos
sess eminent qualifications for the
Vice Presidency, but none better
fitted for that position than EX-Gov.
Porter.

No amount of legislation can
make the spendthrift rich mar,
and ali cheap schemes TO make the
lot of men equal are Veriest quack-
cries. If there was a general distri-
button every ten years the end of
each decade would witness nearly
the same inequality as now. The
most that legislation can do is to
make every man equal before the
law, and leave him to make what
he can Of himself. If he spends his
money as fast as he gets it, there
is no justice in making the man
who saves part of his as he goes
