The house went into committee of the
whole to consider the anti-option bill,

in opposition to the measure The bill
was ostenslbly drawn in the interest of
the farmers, he said. This was Pop

from that side of the house.
Mr.. Sibley, of Pennsylvania. followed
in defense of the bill. This bill. he
said. might not be according to strict
construction of constitutional law, but
there was higher law than that-the law
of self-preservation. Mr.. Aldrich (Rep.

The spelling of the name of Miss Agnes
Repplier and her singular felicity in
epigram and phrase inevitably suggest
her familiar nainein Philadelphia, where
she lives. This is the ''replier." Her
dinner conversation in this respect is Gel
ebrated among her friends. Miss Rep
plier, as is well known, worshps at one
particular shrine, that of Andrew Lang.
Last summer Miss Repplier was in Eng
land and had the anticipated good for
tune to be asked to meet Andrew Lang
at dinner. 1t would not have been hu-
man for Miss Repplier not to have made
mental toilet as she adorned her BODY
to meet Mr. Lang. But dinner, we are
told, in England is u serious matter.
Course after course passed unseasoned
by joke, unspiced by epigram and with
out the grace of felicitous allusion. 1t at
length came to an end. Nor did thecon-
versation have any future. The great
Andrew sat down on the floor and PLAYED

Peter Cooper ON Interest.

Peter Cooper was always careful
and prudent business man. He was al
ways opposed to the methods of many
merchants, who launched out in extrav-
agant enterprises on borrowed money,
for which they paid exorbitant rates of
interest. Once while talking about q
project with an acquaintance the latter
said he would have to borrow the money
for six months, paying interest at the
ratio of 8 per cent. why do you Dor
row for SO short timer" Mr.. Cooper
asked. Because the brokers will not
negotiate bills for longer "Woll, if
you wish, said Mr.. Cooper, II will
discount your note at that rate for three
years. q" Arc You in earnest?" asked
the would be borrower "Certainly
am. l will discount your note for $40. :
600 for three years at that rate. Will
you do it," "Of course will" said
the merchant. very well, >" said Mr..
Cooper, lust sign this note for $40, :
600, payable in three years, and give me
your check for $500, and the transac-
ton is complete but where is the
money for me:' asked the astonished
merchant. You don t get any money, {"
was tho reply. Your interest for Sc
months ut per cent per month amounts
to los per cent, or $40, 500. Therefore
your check for $500 just makes us even. +"
The force of this practical illustration
OF the folly of paying such an exorbi-
tant price for the use of money was
such that the merchant determined new
or to borrow at such ruinous rates, and
he frequently used to say that nothing
could have so fully convinced him as
this rather humorous proposal by Mr..
Cooper. New York Post.
