promised one hundred thousand dollars to
the Republican campaign fund. He asserts
that this money was paid, was brought to
him in Indiana by Mr.. T. G. Platt, and that
he caused more than half of it to be sent to
Ohio to be used by Governor Foster in the
campaign there. .... dr.. ..........
Ninth He asserts that more than $780,
600 was taken to Indiana by a prominent
New York banker whom he names. That
this was used there to carry the day. n,.t,,
Tenth.-He asserts that Garfield was most
eager to have as much money as possible, SO
that he made the blunder of writing. the
Hubbell letter against his Oorsey's) advice.
Eleventh.-He asserts that the vast fund
raised, between one and two million dollars,
was corruption fund. .,.i..
Twelth.-He tells the story of curious in
trigues that led to the putting of James and
McVeigh in Garfields Cabinet, and asserts
that it was Garfeld's intention to remove
them both.
Thirteenth.-He asserts that Garfield was
bulldozed by Blaine and a prominet New
York editor into violating his promises to
Conkling and into appointing Robertson
collector of the port of New York, without
having first notified the New York Sena-

bulldozing took the shape of threat to pub

AVOID FARM MORTGAGES.

MORTGAGES are necessary and beneficial in
civilized society, but there are unpleasant
features about them. They often enable
a man to accomplish what he could not
otherwise do, and they also often involve a
man who would have been otherwise Sue
cess1ul. They often enable a man to get
out of trouble which he could not otherwise
avoid, and they perhaps equally often make
a miserable life which would have other
wise been happy. ltiseasy to getthe on the
farm, but it is not always easy to get them
Oft. Farm mortgages are about the best in
yestment that capital can find. Investors
generally like them. They partake of the
nature, permanence, and other substantial
qualities of real property, but arr relieved
from many of the burdens imposed upon
land. One investment company in New
York City has upwards OF S2O,OOO,OOo on
farm mortgages mostly on Western farms
The money draws seven per cent. and up
wards and is obtained in Europe at four
per cent, SO that the annual profits to the
investment company are about SoOo,ooo.
There are perhaps dozen such companies
in New York City alone, and there are pri-
vate investors, now that money is plentiful,
all over the country; SO that there Is no
lack of opportunity to get mortgages & & on
farms. But so hard are they to get OFT that,
notwithstanding the fact that investors, Will
not generally loan more than a third or
half of of the value of the security offered
broker who deals largely in farm mort
cages, recently said to the writer that, as a
rule, mortgages are not paid. That IS to
saw, when farm is once mortgaged, in
majority ofinstances 1t remains so fora long
time. If one mortgage is paid, another IS
made to raise the money. II it is fore,
closed, it is very rare that anything is PAID
back to the farmer. If it is sold, it often
continues to be traded around until 1t gets
satisfied" =,
Money at seven per cent. will double IN
ten years if the interest is kept invested.
If the farmer carries mortgage OF say S5,OOo
for thirty years, it will cost him at ! per
cent, about $4,000 for the use of the $4,000.
This enormous figure, obtained by COM
putting interest at seven per cent. on the
amounts paid, is no more than a fair estl-
nation of the cost of such mortgage, Tor
the farmer can doubtless always invest his
money in something which will yield him
seven per cent.
Therefore Il. DO not mortgage the 1arm
unless it seems absolutely necessary. But,
| as a general rule is less valuable than a
particular one, it may be well to specify, by
adding: 9. Do not mortgage to build line
house. BY so doing, you will have to pay

POLITICAL INTRIGUE.

representative of the New York St0l
recently visited ex-senator Stephen w.
Dorsey at his home in New Mexico, and the
result is the publication of an authentic in
terview occupying four columns OF that pa
per. In this interview ex-senator Dorsey
asserts:
First.-That Sherman was betrayed at
Chicago; that the pretended surprise OF
Garfed's nomination was sham, ana that
it was the result of a prearranged plan.
Second.-That jeal0usies and ambitions
appeared at the very beginning of the can
vass, and showed themselves IN the organl-
Zation of the National Committee,
Third-That it was at the earnest request
of Garfield, Governor Foster and General
Arthur that he accepted the place of Secre-
tary Ofthe National Committee.
Fourth. THAT the rich bankers OF New
York were so distrustful that they refused
to contribute cent until a peculiar organ
iZation, known as a finance committee, COM
posed of these bankers, was formed.
Fifth-He intimateS that Garfield, Ar
thur and all the other Republican leaders
relied on money to win the battle, and ad-
mits that very large sum was raised ana
disbursed by these bankers. 1t was purely
a money campaign. -.
Sixth He asserts positively that Gar
field bought the New York stalWarts' sup.
port by a positive promise to appoint Levi
p. Morton SeeretaryJOf the Treasury.
Seventh.-He reiterates the charge that
the pockets of the New York bankers were
reached m through promise of Garfeld's to
allow syndicate of them to refund the gov
ernment bonds.
= Eighth-He asserts with great positive
ness that bargain was made between
Garfeld's representatives and Jay Gould
and C. p. Huntington, by which Garfield
promised to secure the appointment of Stan
lev Matthews as Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court, and the two capitalists

money for an investment which does not
bring money. 3. Do not mortgage the farm
to buy more land. Where there is absolute
certainty that more can be made out Of the
land than the cost of the mortgage, this rule
might not apply. But absolute certainty is
rare, mistaken calculation is common. 4.
DO not mortgage the, farm unless you are
sure of the continued fertility OF it's soil.
Many persons borrow with an expectation
of repayment based on an experience of the
lands virginity only, which on failing,
may leave the land less productive, and the
means of repayment thus be removed. In
this way troubles begin which may result
in the loss of the farm. Keep very clear OF
mortgages Agricutnist.

HANDs.-Hands are divided into three
different kinds: those with round-polnted
fingers, those with square tips and those
that are spade shaped, with pods of flesh at
each side of the nail. The first type-With
round pointed fngers-belong to characters
with perceptions extra sensitive, to very
pious people, to contemplative minds, to
the impulsive, and to all poets and artists
who have ideality Appointment trait. The
suuare-shaped belong to scientific people,
sensible, self-contained characters, and to the
class of professional men who are neither
visionary nor altogether sordid. The spade
shaped type, with pods Of flesh at the side
of the nail, Indicate people whose interests
and instinct are mostly material. Each
finger, no matter what kind of a hand 1T is
ioined to, has a joint representing each OF
those types. The division of the finger
that is nearest the palm stands for the body,
the middle division represents mind, and
the highest Joint spirit or soul. II the top
Joint is longer than the others it denotes a
character weakened with too abundant
imagination, great ideality and leaning
toward the theoretical rather than the
practical. When the middle joint of the
finger is long, it promises a logical mind,
and when the lowest joint is longest, it in
dicates a nature that clings more to the
luXuries than to the refinements Of life. If
they are nearly alike, it indicates a we'll
balanced mind, especially if the length OF
the fingers equals the length OF the palm.
