7 come now to the Funding bill
We have passed q Funding bill. Well
some may ask, what do you mean


by a Funding bill? l will tell you


We mean Il bill by which we may be


able to reduce the rate of interest


upon the public debt. Our bonds


now draw six and five per cent. We


could not get money any less during


the war But the time has come now


when we think we can borrow mon
ey at lower rates. How do we pro-


pose to do it? Not by violating the


contract; not by trying to swindle


our creditors, the men who loaned


their money to the Government to


preserve the country. But we pro
pose to do it by an honest and legti-


mate method, such as has been pur-
sued by every honest government
in the wo,ld; that is 10 say, We pas
sed a bill which authorized the Gov


ernment to issue new bonds, three
kinds of new bonds-iirst. bonds to
the amount of two hundred millions,
drawing five per cent. second.
bonds to the amount of two hundred
millions, drawing four and half
per cent. and third, bonds to the
amount of one thousand millions,
drawing four per cent. Now, we
authorize our Secretary of the
Treasury to go into the market and
sell these bonds at par, If he can
If he can sell bond at par that
draws only four per cent, then he
can take the money that he gets
for that bond Sld pay of another of
like amoneL that pays six "er cent,
and thus he saves the Government
the difference between four and six
per cent, he saves two per cent. II
he sells bond at par that draws
four and half per cent, and buys
a bond that draws six per cent, he
saves one and half per cent. That
is what we call funding the debt,
and we propose to put the debt into
new bonds that draw lower late of
interest, by which We can save from
twelve to twenty millions per an
mum. Now, don't you think that is
a good purpose, and honorable and
an honest purpose? We have been
trying to get such a bill for two
years, but we finally got one matur-
ed, and it has been signed, and is
now a law of the land. And yet
this bill could not secure the vote,
so far as know, of a single Demo
crat, who have been complaining
about the burdeG of taxation that
the people are bearing. They COM
plain about our paying the interest,
by printing irrejeamable paper mon
ey and paying it OF, they say, but
when we come to an honest and
honorable aud proper method oi
putting down this interest, and re
ducing the expenses OF the Govern
.nent. we were not able to secure the
vote of single Democratic Repre-
sentat tive or Senator. No. They
talk of these things, but when the
time for action comes, when the time
comes to accomplish it, they are not
there.

accounts of sad catastrophe which oc'


Cured near Nachtway's mill, on the


Neshoto river, in this county. last Thurs
day, resulting in the death of Mr.. Henry
Cortes, a. German who, with his wife
and one child resided in that neighbor-
hood. One informant says that the de-
ceased was engaged in hauling lumber
from the mill with a yoke of oxen, and
that while returning for load, and while
near the bank of the river (which at that
point was about six feet high and very
steep) the oxen, who were evidently
very thirsty wanted to turn from the
road and get water, and that while the
driver was walking near the hind wheel,
(next the river) the hub struck him and
threw him over the bank into the river.
He never rose after going into the water.
informant says the oxen did go
into the river, when the wagon, which
had no box on, came apart and the un-
fortunate man went down never to rise
until fshed up by those who saw the ac-
cident.

Look OUT FOR THIEVES
Patchen informs us that on Saturday
night some thief stole all the clothes from
the line in his yard. And they didn' t
go for old clothing, either, but took $l2
worth of new underwear that had just
been made. We hope the contemplate
sneak who did it will be found out and
such a punishment inflicted upon him
that it will serve as an example to all
others who are too lazy or stingy to make
their own clothing. 1t is some years
since such an occurrence has come to
light, here and will probably serve as
caution to others.


We have also heard Of an attempt be-
ing made to enter a residence near the
northern limits of the city one night re

THERE is provision in the ordinance
of this city which makes it an offence
punishable by fine of ten dollars, to
leave any obstruction on the crossings of

of her clothing, and we should think it
about time some one was made an exam

BY the European mail we have the
following report of the dress fashion
styles, which were prevalent and
''coming out in Paris on the Ist OF
November.


The Paris boz net for the winter
has passe or front border, very
much raised, and. in some instances,
completely turned up; it has also
crown, aud generally a curtain. the
shape of which varies. A distiu
gushing feature of this winter
modes is the large colored ostrich
feather, placed in curve over the
velvet or satin bonnet. Something
very like the cap of former bonnetS
is also worn; it is ma se of lace and
flowers, and worn under the bonnet.
Hats are not much worn in town bv
ladies, unless they be very young
ones. The two most striking types
of hats are the franc -tireur, verv
high in shape and very much trim
med with feathers and velvet, and
the Marin hat, black and mauve,
with the tri- colored ribbon. A kind
Of bobeche nat is also very becom-
ing, with brim turned up behind and
lowered very much in front, very
high crown, dented down little in
the middle, with lorsade Of black
velvet and red gros grain ribbon
twisted together and placed tround
the crown, and in froEts.the til s of
black curled feathers, above which
rises panache of red feathers.


I Crinoline:..is decidedly given up
this winter; that is, it has become
invisible. and is replaced by the
tournour Imperatricc, which gives
the fullness required at the back of
the waist and supports the train of
the skirt. This tournoure is short
for the costume, and for the train
shaped dress deep founce is added
to it. 1t is made with percale and
lined with very stiff gauzc.


In the making up of the costume
there is more simplicity than there
was last winter. Usually it now
consists of one skirt only and
Jacket bodice with deep basques.


The new autumn costumes are
made of soft wooden fabrics that are
at once light, warm and elegant;
among these cashmere, satin delaine
and llama materials are the incest
We must also mention the shawl
costumes, best in keeping for trav-
cling or the seaside. but also very
generally adopted for town wear.


The tartan, Scotch plaid and vi
gogne shawls are all suitable for
making up these costumes. The
complete suit consists of skirt. tunic
and loose jacket with wide sleeves,
or else of shirt and casaque. The
f:inges of the shawl are kept for the
trimming of tunic and casaque or
jacket. -sT-..es
