Carey the Irish InfOrmer.

James Carey, the Irish informer, was a
bricklayer in Dublin, and member of
the Town Council. Some months after
the assassination of Lord Cayendish and
Mr.. Burke the police arrested him and
many others. Eventually Carey and seven
cOnfederates were arraigned on a charge
of murder. After parleying for some time
with the authorities he confessed that he
was not only present ut the assassination,
but that he was one ofthe master spirits
of the conspiracy. He had belonged to
the Feuian Brotherhood since 1862 and
became an Irish myincible in 1881. He
arranged plans for the murder of Secre-
tary Forster, but they fell through. Fl
nallyit was decided to kill Mr.. Burke, and
Carey took a party of seven, consisting
of Curley, Joseph HanlOn, Pagan, Brady,
Kelly, McCat1ery and Patrick Delaney,
into Phoenix Park. The murders were
committed by Brady and Curley, Carey
taking no actual part in the stabbing,
but aiding and abetting. Carey gave
evidence against the seven prisoners, five
of whom were hanged. Mrs Carey was
boycotted and Carey's house set on fire,
presumably by Invncibles. On the APP
plication of the Collector General of
Rates Carey was adjudged a bankrupt
Oh account of the rates on his property
not having been paid. He threatened to
resume his place in the Town Council
and to continue his business as a brick
layer. These threats were made in or
der to induce the government to give
him some reward or purchase his con-
sent to emigrate. His applications for
a written pardon were UNDECIDED, his
demands for terms We're unanswered;
his brother Peter was removed from his
company, so that he did not know
what had become OF him; other in
formers hadlcft the prison, and he knew
not whittier they had gone. He began
to suspect that something had been done
with his family, and the expression in a
letter, written shortly before he was
taken from kilmainham, shows he was
that they had been, as he
terms it, kidnapped" Carey's elder
children were first sent away; then his
wife and the younger members of the
family followed, it being intimated to
them that Carey would meet them at a
certain port. The news was impaired to
him that his wife and seven children
were already aboard ship, ready to sail,
and unless he chose to JOIN them, their
passages having been paid, he would
have but little chance of meeting them
for very considerable time. This last
blow overwhelmed him and he was
ready to go anywhere.
There is scarcely any doubt that Carey
was concerned i'll many of the murders
of landlords in Ireland. The Irish DO
lice stated that they had plenty of evil
denco to connect him with capital crimes,
and according to his own admissions on
his career had been
one of conspirncY and wickedness.

4 RUSSIAN WAR STORY.
A Mine in the MaiaISOT Tower and Its
Load Of Powder.
Total reduction


Load Of Powder.
A formidable mine had been dug and
loaded under the Malakoff tower during
the Russian war. If General McMahon
had not CHANGED to discover i'll the bar
rack one wire leading from n well-cOn-
cealed voltaic-pile to large quantity Of
powder under it, and another connect
ing it with the magazine, the whole VIC
tOrious force mightha been blown iuto
the air after having gained possession of
the fort The wires wore cut, but the
powder magazine could not he found
Some of the French soldiers were set
ting fire to the empty gabions which
had been thrust into the small windows
of the bOmb-prOof cellar under the
tower, in order to barricadc it. One of
the French GabiOns appeared to be NOV
ing. A French officer called out that if
any one was there who could speak
French, he might come out withoutfear.
The gabion was pushed through the
window, and a very young Russian Off
Ger crept out. He was assured that he
and any others sUlrrendCring as prison
ers of war would be well treated. After
saying a few words in Russian ut the
window he was joined by four officers
and 200 soldiers. They begged, through
him, to be taken away at once. This
request suggested some knowledge
of an impending explosion. The young
officer was therefore ordered to point
out the position Of the powder magazine.
The lad made no answer. A French
subaltern said in a loud voice to the
commanding officer that the Russian
ought to be shot if he refused to obey
the order given to save SO many lives.
The youth kept silence, with q naughty
glance of Indignation at the subaltern,
apparently for supposing that he would
betray secret under a threat. The
French chief formed a platoon to shoot
him and he turned to face his execution
ers. An old Russian Major, who seemed
to understand French, ran forward, took
the commandment by the hand, drew him
to Il heap of earth, and pointed down
ward. The earth was quickly shOveled
away. and barrels containing So, 900
pounds of gunpowder were discovered
A strong French guard was placed over
them The young Russian officer was
told to go with the other prisoners. He
gave a military salute and kissed the old
Russian Majors hand. ''Do not blame
him for showing you the powder" he
said in French to the commandment, with
a trembling voice and tears in his eyes

Usury.

Our English ancestors thought that
il was shameful and unchrstian to de-
mand pay for the use Of money. While
they never declared that the taking OF
interest was unlawful, they made stat
itss TO limit the amount In time their
views changed, and they saw that it
was Just that borrower should pay
for the use Of the money loaned him, II
the charge-called interest-was not
exorbitant. A trader who borrows
money to use in his business, and there
by increases his profits, ought to pay
for the use Of the money just as ne pays
for the rest of his stock in trade.
In nearly all csuhtries the rate Of in.
terest is fixed by law. In commercial
countries it is also the rule that any rate
of interest can be given and accepted II
the agreement to pay it is made in writ
ing. The reason for this is that the
value of money like the value of any
commodity is changeable. 1t is high
when money is scarce and low when il
is plenty 1t is right that the dealer in
money should have the same advant-
ages as the dealer in any other article.
To take or agree to take unlawful in
terest is usury. If taken unintention-
ally. or by mistake, the agreement IS
binding at the lawful rate.
Money-lenders resort to many expe-
dents to avoid the law. Some OF these
are allowable A lender may deduct
the interest from the face-value of the
note, thus obtaining it in advance.
An agreement that a year shall be
twelve months Of thirty days each, for
computing interest, is valid. Com
pound interest may be demanded and
taken if expressly agreed upon, but the
interest must be asked for when it falls
due.
A lender, who is obliged to borrow
the money he advances, may charge for
the trouble Of raising it. The courts,
however, always watch such cases with
suspicion.
When man borrows money to put
into risky business, the lender may
charge more than the lawful rate. He
has right to receive pay for the risk
he incurs. 1t is always lawful to buy
up note in the money-market for less
than It's face-yalue.
The laws on usury do not apply to
loans of anything except money. Any
sum may be charged for lending arti-
ces of commerce.
Usurious agreements are worthless in
the hands of the parties who make them.
In some places, notes bearing usurious
interest are not good in the hands Of
persons who bought without knowing
them to be so tainted Nearly every
where. however, an innocent holder
may obtain his money.
Modern laws have made the usury
regulations Of little account To-day,
IN civilized lands, they are only a curl
osity Of ancient legislation Youths
