the opposite of my little room. Night

in the peculiar sing song tone of her race

the hearth fade to ashes, but the theme lost

The voice would change, but not cease.
"Ho the younger brother is thoughtful )
to- morrow l will fix his bed better" it would
say and the governor, filling the exclamation
with the most perfect understanding of the
situation, would calculate, "Humph !" but nc

flow on until later, by considerable distance
of the stars, the tone would die away. A

PErEF CooPER's ILLUSTRATION OF UsURY. -
Mr.. Cooper was always a careful and prudent
business man. He was always opposed to the
methods of many merchants, who launched
out into extravagant enterprises on borrowed
money for which they paid exorbitant rates OF
interest. Once while talking about prof.
ect with an acquaintance, the latter said he
would have to borrow the money for six
months paying interest at the rate of per
cent per month. "Why do you borrow for
so short a timer" Mr.. Cooper asked. BE
cause the brokers will not negotiate bills for
longer" "Well, if you wish" said Mr..
Cooper, 81 will discount your note at that
rate for three years" care you in earnest ?"
asked the would-be borrower. Certainly l
am. will discount your note for $40, 900
for three years at that rate. Will you do ity'
"Of course l will said the merchant. Very
well, said Mr. Cooper Just sign this note
for $40, 900, payable in three years, and give
me your check for $500, and the transaction
is complete" "But where is the money for
me :" asked the astonished merchant. "You
don't get any money" was the reply. Your
interest for 36 months, at per centum per
month, amounts to lOS per centum, or $lO,-
| 500; therefore your check for $500 just
makes us even" The force Of this practical
| illustration of the folly of paying such an e1-
| orbtant price for the use of money was such
| that the merchant determined never to bor-
| row at such runous rates, and he frequently
used to say that nothing could have so fully
| convinced him as this rather humorous pro-
posal by Mr. Cooper. r.-Nao York EUening

ONE DAY, couple Of weeks ago, a
Baltimore Justice of the Peace imposed
over thirty dollars in fines and costs for
obscene and profane language used on
the streets. The Sun, of that city, says
"The prosecutions under the law
against such language are now more
numerous than those under any other
statute, and til" revenue derived there
from is considerable. The amount Of
the fines range from five to twenty
dollars, and the prisoners usually pay
rather than 60 to jail There are fines
and penalties in this State for prufane
swearing, but they seem to remain a
dead letter upon the statut books II
they were enforced in Wilmington IL

creasing to an alarming extent. II they

would be fully met without the levy of
a tax; our public streets could all be
paved with Belgian blocks and under
laid with twenty inch water malus.
The city could afford TO build CITY

millions. We are in real earnest the
increase OF profanity is alarming.

THE reform idea Of the Butler De-

sending pamphlet containing disgust

of voters, illustrative of the disgraceful
scenes enacted ut the Tewksbury Aims

Butler is not the man to care about the

THE Inconsistencies of the Democrat
ic press, and part of the Republican
press as we'll, are shown in the effort to
defeat the Readj uster party of Virginia
They profess to be friends of sound
financial theories, accuse Malone and
his followers with being regulators OF
the most malignant kind, and insist
upon the defeat of the Readjusters. The
defeat of the latter of course will result
in the election of the Bourbon ticket,
and the success of the men who still
spell negro with two "g's." These peo-
pie who oppose Malone and his tinan-
cial theories, are perfectly willing TO see
the other side succeed, though the latter
at its last State Convention adopted a
resolution accepting the decision Of the
Court that Malone was right.
Though tho Read listers have increas-
ed free schools 80 per cent, have
given colored people the same chance
for education the white peonle possess :;
have increased the school fund have
paid the interest on the State debt; have
repealed the poll tax as a prerequisite for
voting and are developing internal i'm
provement to an exteut never known
before, still the cry of these unhappy
BourbOns and their equally unhappy
organs is that Malone "must 60" He
will 60, too, but it will be back to
Washington again as d United States
Senator. Senator Bayard is one of the
leadi assailants of Senator Mahone.
Let Mr.. Bayard trot out the reforms he
has brought about in Delaware, and
compare them with the reforms Malone
has led in Virginia, and let US see how
they compare.
