Reduction of the Public Debt.

WASHINGTON. April 3O.-It is estimated
that the decrease in the public debt for the
month of April amounts to about So, 100000.
The smallness of the amount in comparison
with the average monthly reduction for years
past is accounted for by the fact that $4,000
900 have been paid out during the month on
account of pensions.

Result OF Accommodating an Acquaintance.
LAFAYETTE, April 3o-William R Wood,
of this city, is in trouble. AT the same hotel
where Wood boarded was young man
named Henry Hudson. The latter left here
some months ago, but returned recently.
He had draft drawn on Preston, Keen &
Co, and Hudson explained to Wood that he
was stranger at the banks and asked him
to accompany him to the Lafayette National
to identify him. Wood did so, and while
there wrote his name on the back of the
draft. The bank paid the money, and Hud-
son left the city The draft, which bore the
signature of Mrs. Hudson, was sent to Chi
cago only to be returned with the statement
that it was a forgery. The bank now falls
back upon Wood and asks him to step up
and pay the $179.50 Wood demurs. He
claims that he never signed the graft as an
indorser, but merely as a witness of identif-
cation. The bank has brought suit, and a
big lawsuit is likely to result.

AN AMERICAN STEAMSHIP OF THE
FUTURE.

There will shortly be launched at
Nyak, Oh the River Hudson, u. S.,
a novel craft, for which many besides
the inventor are not slow to predict
something of "a future" She is
to be named the Meteor, and the
qualities aimed at in her design and
construction are-powers of self
righting, great speed, and unsink-
ableness. If the results attending
the production of the present boat,
which is comparatively small, and
intended only rs an experimental
craft, are such as are fondly antici-
pated, it is said the building Of large
ocean steamships on the same prin-
ciple will Immediately follow. From

respondent at New York has just paid
visit to the craft, we learn that the

THE MELBOURNE FINANcleR AND THE
SMART MAN. UI


All the good stories that 60 the
rounds about money-lending biters
having been bitten, usually make the
money-lender, or financier, as the
modern title is, the victim. These
tales are, as a rule, fictions on the
face of them, for it is very rarely
that money-lender gets the worst
of bargain. Here is true story
of what happened in Melbourne re-
Gently. The financier got the best
of it, and deserved to, for it was the
borrower who fancicd himself the
smart man or swindler, much the
same thing:-
A knowing customer, whom we
will call Haven, determined to let
financier in. He went to one whom
we may as we'll call Lendem and
borrowed thirty pounds on his house,
hold. Before doing so, however,
and OH the very same day, he coolly
arranged with his wife that he should
settle it all upon her, and so 'euchre'
his intended victim, the financier.
The settlement was made and Haven
then posted off to Lendem, received
the ESQ, and executed a contract of
sale. 1t is needless to say that the
settlement was registered first,
equally unnecessary to add that
HAVEN did not pay the money when
due. Lendem found that he had
been swindled outrageously. Ger
tainly, he could prosecute the
swindler for fraud, but he didn't
want revenge. He merely wanted
his money. HAVEN had nothing,
and so laughed at the writ issued
against him. Lendem, however, was
a match for HIM, and hit upon plan,
which he put into execution at once.
He met Haven in the street and
told him he meant to have him
imprisoned under fraud summons.
The other laughed in his face.
well, Mr.. Havem,' said the
financier, you may laugh, but I
mean what said I know l can do
it, for 1 can prove fraud. You'll be
in gaol within month, my boy.
| Nothing can prevent it except your
insolvency, and it won't pay you to
go through the court for ESQ.,
But, thought Haven, it will to
keep me out of quod.'
He swallowed the bait, chuckled
to think how he would euchrc the
Jew a second time, and quietly fled
his schedule next day.
This was exactly what Lendem
wanted. The settlement had only
been executed about four months
before, and consequently was rem
dered void by Havem's insolvency.
Lendem could not obtain compul-
sorry sequestration for less than ESQ,
so his little plan got Haven to pay
the expense himself.
Then Lendem waltzed in, took
| possession of the goods, and Mrs.
Haven very soon paid the debt to
the money-lender who went away
thinking his coin and rejoicing

When we located here it was
our wish and hope that not until
such a period Of time had elapsed
as would enable us TO secure an i'll
