The Chicago Current says "the state.
ment made by the United States treas
ury the second day of December was
to tho effect that the public debt had
increased "a, ,887, ,l98.47 during Novem-
Der, yet it is evident, on scanning the
figures themselves, that the reduction
Of the interest bearing debt during
November was $269, $50, nearly all in 4
per cent. bonds" A real reduction in
the debt is made when interest-bear-
Ing bonds are paid and destroyed so
they cannot be issued again. The
amount of money in the treasury may
vary from day to day but the debt does
not vary ut the same time. There
should be reform in the manner Of
making the Reinstatement. Some edi-
tors rush into print with u hurrah that
the debt was increased during Novem-
ber, In which, sas the Current shows,
they are of their base.

The railroad companies have also
sold considerable land in this county
that has not been put on the records.
They have sold altogether about $1,000
acres this year in Mobiles county alone,
ard an inspection Of their map shows
that they have comparatively little un-
disposed of. Parties are negotiating
to purchase the remaining railroad
lands in Bloom township. According
to the Pipestone Star the transfers on
record in that county foot up $24a ,257,
only Il trifle more than half that of this
county, and the Star rightly considers
its figures a good showing for that
county. AS most of the sales of land
are to parties who intend to come on
in tie spring and improve their farms,
the boom will come with a rush next
year.

Breton Riviere's charming picture
''Sympathy" has been engraved as a
premium for Godey's -ady's Book for
1856, and is one of the most desirable
inducements ever offered by that or
any other magazine. The plate is an
unusually fine one, very faithfully pro-
duced, and OF size that makes it &C.
ceptable either for the portfolio or for
framing. ":Sympathy" represents a
talr-halred little girl sitting on a stair
way, in deep distress, her little chin
resting de]"ctedly on her hands, while
u comical old dog presses close to her
side, poking his nose over her shoulder
and saying as distinctly as any dog
can say, Pm awfully sorry for you.'
The picture is wonderfully expressive
and has had an immense sale in
Europe.
