Groom, Esq., on the "Cur­ rency needs of Commerce." They con­ tain much food for thought, not only to the lender, hut to the borrower of mon­ ey. The careless thinker supposes that the increase of money at six per cent, is just twice as rapid as at three per oent. but that is not the fact, for in one hundred years, at six per cent., the in­ crease on any given stim is about eigh­ teen times us much as at three percent. If one dollar be invested and the in­ terest added to the principal annually, we shall have, according to Mr. Groom's calculations, the following result as the accumulation of one hundred years : Cne dollar, 100 years, at 1 per cent.. vors Win us and no Fear Shall Awe.*' jonr. m *u? ryfrVffI ESDAY, MARCH 15, 1876. scar 1- k- *» $ •« • <• 6 «« " li J~' t% «W'MU,' . .

If any doubt this, Mr. Groom says, let them reckon the amount,estimating the entire out­ fit to have cost only the small sum of five thousand dollars, and remembering that money doubles in 11 years, 10 months and 21 days. Allowing it to double every 12 years, this #6,000, at six per cent interest since 1498, it will be found to have amounted to #17,895,- 700,000,000.

It says: '"We wish to put a simple question to the Republicans of Ohio who are of the opinion that the immense and invaluable services of the Secretary of the Treasury prove his possession of the commanding Execu­ tive capacity, the thorough courage and perfect integrity that the. country demauds in the highest olflce. Bris- tow's most conspicuous work is in the prosecution of the Whisky liingsters and the collection of the internal rev­ enue, but his enforcement of regulations for the suppression of smuggling shows the same clear head and firm hand, and is everywhere an encourgement of hon­ est merchants and all honest men.

Some will answer yesf some 410. It is both a narcotic and stimulant, and in its effects acts very much like these drugs A small dose stimulates to health ful life, whereas too deep a draught deadens the perceptions and often de moralizes the whole system* so that, like the drug itself, it must be admin­ istered by a careful hand and suited to the condition and idiosyncracies of the individual. Nor is this all. An indis­ criminate and habitual stick at the bot­ tle of credit, creates & parching void that calls for more, and still more, un­ til the medicine man feels constrained to shut down on it, and put the stopper on. This evil habit, probably acquired in the earliest days of life) when the infant was meted out free lunch, aud provender without money and without price, when fifty or sixty years ago, the old inhabitant did but smite the ala­ baster rock and made the milk to flow. Oh, tliem were the good old times and whisky only twenty-live cents a gallon. Certain it is however, that the present generation has got in the way of it, and must have their credit, with the same unconcerned and unreasoning regularity, with which the good citi­ zen stows apd conceals the half pint pledge of each recurrent visit to the market town,in the breast pocket of his overcoat. Some men have an im­ mense purchasing capacity, with but little cash in their pocket, for the ex­ emption law, and the twists of the law itself, rendering property comparative­ ly proof against all attack, both in front, above and behiud, the spare greenbacks meet but the absolute aud fanciful wants of the household, and reluctantly consent to tread those chan­ nels, where credit usurps their place, and fills it so cheaply and so well. Yet the day of reckoning must come. Gentle hints and pointed insinuation, soon broaden into a good square dun, and here the charm of credit dissolves like a bubble. You must fork out, or trade elsewhere, and if your good reputatibn urges you to, act honestly, you are henceforth a cash customer at credit prices, for each new purchase must be accompanied with a cash installment in liquidation of the outstanding debt, aud credit realty there is ribne, except the sweet delusion of the thing. In re­ turn for. the benefit of running up a score at the family store, the interest llidfeW Is ttearly paid, with *a«b «wo- ceeding purchase at credit price, which alone can compensate the vendor for losses and bad debts, on the mutual in surance principal, whereby the solvent customer shoulders the risk of -the trade. Such is the Ingrained force of habit, that an inveterate creditor, would con­ sider his tea tasteless aud poor, had it not been "charged." and as defective to his eyes as a parchment deed unre­ corded in the book. The book is what does it, and invests the diuner table with an air of business Interest, each item representing value received and promises to pay, a sort of miniature business college on castors, which is to adults, what pictorial blocks are to Juveniles, The cash system is beneficial to all save the runaway aud designing de­ faulter. It unables the merchant to buy with ready money in the cheapest market, and likewise for ready money will he retail cheaply to his customers, satisfied with a email profit and quick return?, which is a gain, comfort and happiness to all, The newspaper, al­ ways expected with the unfailing reg­ ularity of the tides, sun and season, must not even puffer an eclipse. It must ever be neat and trim and lively, but never dull, or if it flags, loud mur­ murs oppress it with still further dis- Courageiqent, and to expect the ingeni­ ous editor to call on (he goad lord for favors would be profanity, when your own neglect and long arrears, silently whisper the secret cause. A newspa­ per has less to fear from earthquakes than credit, and if it shuts down gently yet firmly and with a sense of grief 011 a defaulting subscriber iu accordance with the faithful terms of publication; he goes of in a hyff, bless him and in­ continently enters his name ou the lists of the *kFree Publisher" the "Poor mail's companion," or the "Blind Investiga­ tor." Why |s it thus? But it }s urged as an off set to credit, that hogs aud things will only cash out in the fall when alone it is possible and oonven|ent to square up. Meanwhile how are wo going to get along without Sardines and Molasses. The answer is simple. Retrench on' your stomach, crease up your pants in the region of the waflt,and take in a re^f at the back of yqur walstaoat, until the time arrive? when the procefds of your au­ tumnal crops instead Of leaking off to old accounts, will represent a cash val- Ue and cash purchases in your hand. Then comes the wail Qf the true aiid legitimate creditpr, th$ man with no Resources, save of ^ftturc, with iirtans* trfpterfng at 6M feud of the stickf whilst the horn of plenty showers down infants like snowflakes at the other# How am /going to get along without credit says he, with a threatening. voice. The trouble is, he already gets along too much, and provided he don't change his course, somebody is a going to pay his grocery bill for him. The Lord gives but he don't always provide --or better still--what he giveth, cred­ it provideth for. Credit Is respoiwibli for a great many white elephants. ffADFOLB. Stan os Women At a recent dinner in New York, ft which no ladies were present, a man responding to the toast "women,* dwelt solely upon the frailty of the six claiming that the best of them were little better than the worst--the chief difference being In their sttrrotindings. At the conclusion of the speech a geii* tlemrm rose and said : "I trust tbe gentleman in the applicatioti of his re­ marks refers to his own mother and sisters, not ours." The effect of this just and timely fcbuke was overwhel­ ming, aud the maligner of women was covered with shame and confusion. The incident serves an excellent purpose ill prefacing a few Words on the sub­ ject. Of all the evils prevalent in men we know of none more blighting in its moral effect than the tendency to speak lightly of the virtues of women. Nor is there anything in which young men are so thoroughly mistaken as in the estimate they form of the integrity of women--not of their own mothers and sisters, thank God--but of others whom they forget are somebody else's mother and sisters, Let young men remember that their chief happiness in life de­ pends on their faith in women. No worldly wisdom, 110 misanthropic philosophy, no generalization, can cover or weaken this fundamental truth' It stands like the record of God himself--for it is nothing less than this and should be an everlasting seal upon the lips that are went to speak lightly of women.

She was first married to a Mr. Bowers,a commission merehaut of Cincinnati, who died of consumption iu Cuba six or seven yeats a#o. As m wbitow, Mrs. Bowers was a "dasher." She was of mafrnlflceat presence, a tall stately brunette, with4 fine features, head and carriage, splen­ did color, black glossy hair, and dark flashing eyes, and captured her dead sister Carrie's husband, Secretary Bel» knap, about two years ago, he being at that time a widower of four yean; She was married to Belknap in grand style near Lexington, Ky., her dresses coming from the hands of Worth, the Paris man milliuer and dressmaker. She was a much devoted member of the Presbyterian Church in early life* but after marrying her first husband, John Bowers, she embraced the Episcopal faith, Love of dress and display haa bee a a ruling passion of her life, an<| the cause of a disgrace which wlty doubtless be a historical, and oonse<i quently, perpetual shame, JWS^ Some time ago savs the North-, western (Pa.)
