A NEW method of computing interest on any
simple. Multiply any given number of days
of interest desired, separate the right hand fig
ure. and divide by six the result is the true
interest of such sum for such number of days,
at six per cent This rule is so simple and so
true, according to business usuage, that every
banker, broker, merchant, or clerk should post
it up for reference and use There being no
such thing as fraction in it, there is scarcely
any liability to error or mistake. By no other
arithmetical process can the desired information
be obtained with so few figures.

DEAR SIR:-Another act of "loyalty"
and Christianity by one Rev. Mccormick
of Pruntytown of the woody head per-
suasion, and cane seat chair notOriety,
deserves public notice. A white man
had an appointment to preach in q
Church in West Grafton and this Nc
Cormick locked the door against him.
A gentleman broke the door open and
the white man preached. McCormick's
reason for locking the door was that
the white man was not "loyal." He
did not believe white man was mig
ger and nigger white man according
TO Mr.. McCormick's belief and "loy-
atty"


This man Mccormick had an appoint
ment to preach at a school house in
Bridgeport, Harrison county. There
was singing school appointment at
the same time, Mae was very anxious
10 open up some of his loyalty and
he nut it to vote whether he should or
not and in the crowded house there
were only six persons who voted for
him to preach. He has basely and most
outraGeously misrepresented, Elder
Geo. Davidson and the Church he repre-
sentS.


Another "loyap act l must mention.
Rev. Wm. Ii. Mullinix, of Fetternan,
had public sale of household goods a
short time ago. This man Mccormick
was there and bought six cane seat
chairs. One out of the six had the bot
tom out. In moving the chairs to one
side he left the one with the bottom
ont and took one of four good ones that
were then unsold. The men and women
were indignant at the act and demand
ed him to put the chair back and take
his own, but his cheek was too hard
and used to such acts of "loyalty." This
man is pretended minister OF
the Gospel, and bellows Justify for me-
gro supremacy and "loyalty."


If there he any mitigation of punish
mont in another world, God have mercy
on cane-seat Mccormick, for the devil
rever will. OBSERVER.

The Frecdmen's Bureau is to be con-
tiuurd in operation for another year,
commencing July l6, 1868; and for as
many more years, probably, as the R.
publican party keeps in power. While
We do not deny that the Bureau has
given timely aid to many blacks, and
also TO some whites who would have
suffered greatly and perhaps have per
ishel but for its charitable inter
venJion, it is but the truth to say
that it diSpenses among the people
of the South considerably more
politics than aims. 1t is a supplement
to the reconstruction policy, and is
fully as political as that is. Viewed in
the large way and with reference to
broad results, We cannot regard it as q
real benefit to the Southern people,
either white or black. The whites have
never asked bread from it except when
driyeR to it's portals by starvation. But
the blacks, having once tasted its boun-
ty, do not care to look further for
their victuals. Destitute of ener-
gy and ambition, mere flies
that live in the sunshine, why
should they toll when Government has
opened meat shop and bakery for themt
They know too, iustinctively, if they
are not told, that these doaoeurs are g
sort of pay in advance for theil
Political influence aud their votes
This gives them grand ideas of theil
Importance to the Government or to the
Republican party, which is the same
thing. So they loll in the sun and eat
and attend all the political meetings
and vote as often as they can at every
election.

While the rebellion lasted the North
never accused the rebels of cowardice.
On the contrary, we gave them credit
for pluck, audacity, daring, endurance,
and determination that only death
and ruin could break. Those who con-
fronted the enemy in the field were not
the least ready to allow him the posses
sion of these warlike qualities. If
any one spoke contemptuously of the
rebel spirit, it was not the soldiers who
closed with them in the struggle, nor
the leaders who attempted to overcome
them in the conflict. There can be no
harm in remembering this fact in these
days, when the North is dealing with n
prostrate South. There can be no harm
in our treating the Southerners as
thongh they possessed all the bravery
which we put to their account in the
days Of war; and there can be nothing
but harm in treating them as though
they had given hs reason to charge
them with the spirit or bearing of COW
ardice.-N. Y. Times, Republican.

SIGNIFIcANT.-A penny pamphlet life

him for President, on the vignette title

the Constitution Of the United States rest
ina upon a cannon !-Ne,r York Express.


OF course that is what we are ceming
to, and why should we shrink the illus
tration, when the fact is pressing so
closely upon usi The end of all will
be the total disappearance of the Con-
stitution, leaving the cannon behind as
the sole exponent and the appropriate
symbol of an usurping oligarchy.
Backed by bayonets and artillery, it
will be comparatively easy for the Rad
icals to crush out by "whiffs of grape
shot" all opposition to the new order
of things.

Washington City with his victorious

GIANT PowDER.-We had the pleasure Of
witnessing the terrible effects of this new ex-
plosive agent on Friday last. Some expert
ments made with it by gentleman who is
about to put it to practical use in his mine,
were witnessed by large number of our
citizens. The shoe of stamp, piece OF
solid cast iron weighing perhaps seventy-five
pounds, was laid on the ground and upon it
wns placed s!edge hammer. A small
quantity of the powder. not more than an
ounce, was turneI into the handle-hole of
the s'edge and crowded down lightly with a
stick. The percussion cap which alone
causes the powder to detonate was attached
to piece of fuse and inserted into the hole.
The fuse was ignited and all withdrew to
places of safety. Upon examining the shoe
after the explosion it was found to be liter
ally broken to pieces. 1t seems almost in
credible that so small quantity of powder,
without being confined, could effect such
astounding results; one could scarcely be-
iieve his own eyes. The powder resembles
sawdust in appearance. 1t is combustible
but no explosion is caused by throwing it
into the fire. The advantages claimed for it
over other explosive materials by itsinventor,
are that it is perfectly safe, cheaper and much
more effective. 1t will undoubtedly super
cede ordinary blasting powder in mining
operations.

THE PULsE.-Thep pulse ola healthy
growing person beats seventy times
in minute. There may be good
health down to sixty, but if the pulse
always exceeds seventy there is dis
ease; the machine is working too fast
it is wearing itself out; there is a
fever or an inflammation somewhere,
and the body is feeding on itself, as
in consumption, where the pulse is
always quick, that is, over seventy,
gradually increasing with decreased
chances of cure, until it reaches one
hundred and ten, or one hundred and
twenty, when death comes before
many days. When the pulse is all
the time over seventy, and there is
even slight cough, the lungs are af-
fected.


Every intelligent person owes it to
himself to learn from his family physi-
clan how to ascertain the pulse in
health; then, by comparing it with
what it was when ailing, he may have
some idea of the urgency OF his own
case, and it will be an important guide
to the physician. Parents ought to
know the healthy pulse of each child,
as now and then person is born with
peculiar slow or fast pulse, and the
very case in hand may be that pc
culiarity. An infants pulse is 1870; a
child of seven years about 50; from
twenty to sixty years it is 70 beats a
minute of declining to GO at fourscore.


There are pulses all over whole body,
but where there is only skin and bone,
as at the temple, tits more easily felt;
the wrist is the most convenient point.
The feebleness or strength of the beat
is not material, being modified by the
fingers pressure. Comparative rapid
ity is the great point; near death tits
140 and over. A healthy pulse i'm
parts to the hngcr feeling as OF a
wooden string; in sickness it feels hard
er, like q silk thread; if there is in
famation, which is always dangerous
it beats fast, spitcful and hard, as if
fine wire was throbbing against the
finger. When the pulse beats irreg'
uIarly, as if it lost a beat, then hur'
ried to make it up, there is something
the matter Fith the heart. But, how,
ever unnatural you may think the
pulse is, do not worry about it, take
nothing, do nothing except by the
advice of an intelligent physician.
