They do not Paw Cash.

In Australia n credit of six months is
generally allowed.
In Asia Minor a credit of but two or
three weeks is in most cases all that is
allowed.
In France a months acceptance is
requ red TO be sent in settlement of the
invoice.
In Cuba the time fixed for payment
is generally from four to five months
after delivery of the goods.
In the Bermudas accounts are settled
but once year. The 30th of June is
the day usually fixed for the payments.
In Austria it is scarcely possibly to do
business without allowing very long
credit, which is nearly always one of
six months.
In Turkey even objects of prime ne
cessity are sold on credit, and in this
country. as we'll as in Russia tho time
allowed is in most cases twelve months.
In Mexico the large commercial
houses willingly give credit of from six
to eight months. and in the retail trade
longer terms are given customers in
which to settle their accounts.
The consul general of the United
States at Rio states that one OF the
greatest drawbacks to commercial in
tercourse with Brazil lies in the neces-
sity of allowing too long credit. At
Rio. as at Buenos Ayres. minimum
credit Is six months.
In Costa Rica a credit OF from six TO
twelve months is given in case of mer-
chandisc imported from Europe, In
order that goods may be easily and
quickly disposed of. But since tn 8
system of credit has often led to losses.
1t Is now being given up.

THE Independent Order of the Sons

year about 1861, though even then it
was only revival of u similar order.
which, under another name, had lived
and prospered at intervals from about
the last part Of the year l, or the early
part Of year 2, A. ID. The organization
necessarily had an ephemeral existancc
because it exhausted the material on
which it could work. and two or three
general ons W II Of necessity pass
by before ii can be revived with new
subject for organization. IL would be
impossible to describe the details OF
the imitation. for in this respect the
ritual was very elastic and it was left
to the intelligence and capabilities of
the prime pal officers to conduct it &C
cording to the peculiarities OF the in
dividual persons. II may be said that
the whole theory of the instruction of
the initiation was to make the candi-
date understand how little man could
RELY in tn life on his own individual
capacity.

man was a jackass, unless mod fled by
the aids which society, as cxcmpliied

The proceedings of the evening con-
cluded with the display of an enormous
punch bowl containing about ten gall
ons, together with some more solid re-
freshments calculated to bring an even
state the pulse of the candidates whose
equipoise had been more or less dis
turbcd. While all the candidates real
lied the value of the lesson received
and manifested their approval Of its
wholesomeness. they particularly dis
played their zeal in an anxiety to dis
pense the blessings of the order
amongst their friends not members,
and the institution had remarkable
career. as long as there was the proper
working material in the community TO
instruct.
One neophyte was of a very quick
temper. but was soon over il. He
came up TO the lodge-room wearing
shiny new silk hat. which he hung up
with great care. During the evening
he lost his temper many times. but
always had more to lose when the oc-
casion demanded. During the evening
some joker took the lining from the
new hat and placed it in disreputable
looking one that hung near. When the
meeting ajourned the rascible man
sought his hat. but seeing a different
lining inside would not take it. Then
the bad hat was shown him with his
lining in it; his temper was gone in
second. aud. Selling the new hat. he
dashed it on the floor and kicked it
around the room. remarking: THE
man that owns that shan't get the best
of me. When the true state of affairs
was explained it was evident the owner
of the hat had got the best of him.

Mine eyes have seen the glory OF the
Coming of the Lord;
He is trampling out the vintage whore
The grapes of wrath Is stored;
He hath loo ed the fateful lightning Of
His terrible swift sword.
His truth Is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet
That shall never call retreat;
He Is sitting out the hearts Of men
Before his jud gment seat
Oh, be swift my soul TO answer Him,
Be lubilant my feet:
Our Cd is marching on.
In the beauty OF the lilies Christ
Was born across the sea.
With glory in his bosom that

AS he died TO make IA N holy,
Let US die to make men free,

Terry's Motion to Examine the
Accounts COntfnued.

Accounts COntfnned.
SAN Francisco, March 16.-Argu-
ment in the motion filed on Wednes-
day by Judge Terry for an order to
inspect the books of the late William
Sharon to discover what portion of
the est te is community property,
was heard to-day before Judge
Sullivan.
Mcclure, counsel for Sharon, asked
for continuance on the ground that
Frederick w. Sharon was absent in
England. He also urged continu-
ance on the ground that leading coun-
sci in the case were absent.
Judge Terry thought that the alb
sence of counsel and Fred Sharon
were insufficient reasons for delay, as
the motion was simply to give access
to the books in order to secure evil
dence to the present referees, before
whom the evidence will be taken.
Mcclure interrupted by saying that
he nor anyone else except Fred Shar-
|on knew anything Of the condition Of
the estate, hence his presence wss
necessary.
Judge Sullivan thought that Sharon
should be present when the motion
was heard and hence granted con-
tinuance until March 30th, when
Sharon is expected to arrive.

THE oENTRAL PACIFIC.
Examination OF Its Affairs b.
the House COmmissi0n.

Exam nation OF Its Affairs by
the House Communication.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-The Cen
trail Pacific case was presented to the
House Pacific Railroad Commission
to-day by ex-senator Mcdonald, who
explained and argued in favor Of the
Huntington bill. He declared that
the property mortgaged to the Gov
ernment was its sole security, and
that lien could not be extended to
other property without an express
personal agreement. He did not be-
lieve that the stockh olders could
be held individually liable for
the amount of their h ,ldings
even under California law. A
good deal Of i'll feeling had been in
dulged in on account of what we're
alleged to havs been personal profits
made in the construction of the road,
Congress could prosecute the persons
accused of this extravaganza.
Mr.. Webber asked if the company
would consent to such prosecution.
Counsel replied that it was not q
question Of acceptance. Congress
could provide for it whenever it
pleased. OF course, the parties were
never going to make any acknowledge
ment of the liability, and if it was
ever established against them it would
be against their most strenuous oppo-
sition. OF course they would never
consent that the Government should
take the place Of the company in the
prosecution of suits.
Mr.. Webber: "Then the company
would not accept such bill containing
any such provision?"
Mr.. Mcdonald. 81 do not think it
will be accepted by either company,
but | am not authorized to bind any
body on that point. If the debt were
paid and if the Government collected
It, itwould do more than any private
enterprise had yet done under like
circumstances, but if private parties
were dealing with the debt they
would undertake to discount it or
scale it. He did not suppose that the
Commission could entertain such a
proposition; the scheme must en-
prace the repayment Of all the COM
pany with an extension under such
circumstances as would guarantee the
Government against loss and these
conditions would be met by the bill
already submitted by the company.
