In a oity not a thotttand miles from Sa
vapnah. it is told that a conntry gentlo
ntau sent to hts ••friend*’ certs in goods.
The merchant reoelted tbo articles, sold
them as requested, being “in a tight," used
tho money for his own purposes, then
broke, whereupon be wrote thu*ly to his
afflicted oountrymah; “Dear Friend—l
acknowledge I spont your money. I feel
that God has forgiven tho sin, and 1 trust
that you will, as I’vo taken the benefit of
tho Bankrupt Act. Affectionately, your
friend." What aotion has been taken is
not yet told.
Evil Speaking.
That you may not speak ill of any, do
not delight to hear ill of them. Give no
countenanoo to busy-bodies, who are run
ning from house to house, and love to talk
of other men’s faults. Thoso who delight
to hear ill of others will soon fall iuto tbo
habit of speaking ill of them. When busy
bodies run out of matter of fact, they will
soon resort to conjectures and idle stories
to please thoso who are fond of hearing
others spoken against. Such characters
are common nuisances, often destroy good
neighborhoods and tho fellowship of old
friends. If we endeavor in good earnest
to mind ourselves, we shall find work
enough, and but little time to talk of
others.
“ Co-operation.”
This word, cooperation, as applied to
the clubs forming in various parts of this
country, as well as in England, means
concerted trading —a scheme in which the
resulting profits are proportionally divided
for individual uses. Cooperation is simply
the application of small or large accumu
lations to the purchase and distribution of
stores or to tlic production of the same, the
great difference between it and other joint
stock machinery for the same purposes
being that all who help to make the profits
shall proportionally share in them. This
should be applied in genuine cooperation
alike to shareholder, customer, and work
man.
Wo have read a lengthy but interesting
article in the New York Sun, describing
the principle which is known in London
as ‘‘Floating Cooperation,” and by means
of which the advantages of the system have
been made apparent to a social class who
have hitherto looked on all such efforts
with suspicion. "Floating Cooperation"
presupposes a number of persons in an
average social position, able to pay at
for ail they obtain, and generally using
fair average qualities of goods. It is simply
making an arrangement with ordinary
retail and wholesale dealers to sell for
cash at reduced rates, to the persons who
may belong to the association which puts
the scheme into operation.
A small number of individuals made up
together the price of half a chest (about
50 lbs.), and the purchase was accordingly
made, each individual receiving the share
of tea which he has paid for. It was found
that by this proceeding the price was re
duced by about one shilling per lb. An
other half chest, and afterwards several
whole chests, were obtained on the same
plan, and the number of purchasers in
creased rapidly. Other articles were also
purchased. In the course of a month or
two a little society was formed, and after
much anxious deliberation as to whether
the expense could be met, a small store
room was engaged. In order that such
might be obtained as could not be con
veniently kept at the store, an arrange
ment was made with a few wholesale
houses by which the members got goods
(of course for ready money) at greatly re
duced prices, subject to the condition that
they should frequent the warehouses only
on stated days and during stated hours.
From the idea of buying from certain
wholesale houses grew the idea of “floating
cooperation." Under the management
which was adopted, the “Civil Service
Supply Association” was formed. The
leading members of tbe Society go to cer
tain tradesmen and say: “We arc 1,000
strong ; provided we come in considerable
numbers to your shop, and make purchases
with ready money, will you treat us as
wholesale customers ?” Tradesmen who
agree to do so are set down in a printed
list, which is supplied to each member of
the Supply Association, and he, as lie has
occasion, calls and makes his purchases of
such dealers. In this way each member
effects a saving of 25 per cent., and in some
cases of thirty. He thus becomes a mem
ber of a peripatetic cooperative society,
whose stores arc situated all over the town.
Tho money thus saved in purchases is not
saved as in a cooperative society of the
fixed kind, by allowing the profits to accu
mulate for future advantage; but the habit
of paying ready money and avoiding credit
is confirmed.
It is wortli noticing in connection with
these organizations that the itlca of “ float
ing cofiperation" is extended beyond that
of obtaining goods. Physicians, lawyers
architects, stock brokers and life assurance
companies have entered into arrangements
with them, furnishing their services at
much lower rates than those for which
they are usually obtained. There is no
reason against its indefinite extension to
all business. The special value of the
fonn of association and the application of
the principle is two-fold :
1. It has caused the well-to-do classes in
England to regard the principle of coop
eration as of essential value, and as appli
cable both to themselves and to their
poorer fellow-citizens.
2. It has shown how to apply associative
effort to the present system of trade.
There is no need of special argument in
favor of the fitness of the form of coop
eration to American life; its applicability
can be seen at once.

The New Head fkroee. j
A Paris correspondent describes the new
head-dress as consisting of h lovely black
lace or black blondo veil, which is thrown
over the chignon uud hangs down the
bock, or colored velvet diadem, with a
ruddy flower on one Mile, and moreover
spanned with a gold and steel comet. It
is very becoming over a low dress on
snowy white shoulders. *
Specie Payment*.
Mr. Garfield has introduced a plan fur
resumption, in the House of Representa
tives, which proposes that after December
I, 1808, the Treasury shall exchange gold
for legal-tender notes at the rato of one
dollar in gold for one dollar and thirty cents
in currency, and on tho Ist January fol
lowing shall exehango tho gold dollar for
ono dollar and twenty-nine cents in cur
rency, and so on, reducing the premium
one cent each month until the exehango is
at par, which will he Ist June, 1871.
A Powerful Fertilizer.
Every farmer has soot at command,
whose presence in stove pipes or chimneys
is not unfrequcntly the cause of fires, occa
sioning the loss sometimes of both prop
erty and life. This agent for evil is one of
the most valuable manures, and nothing
but the most culpable carelessness and in
difference will suffer it to remain a menace
to life and property, when it can be easily
removed and turned to good account in the
field or garden. Twelve quarts of soot in
a hogshead of water will make a powerful
liquid manure, which will improve the
growth of flowers, garden, vegetables, or
root crops. In either, a liquid or solid
state, it makes an excellent top-dressing for
grass or cereal crops.

CougU and Bronchitis,
A young man, twenty-two years of age,
had a cough and hoarseness for fifteen
months. During cold weather his voice was
lost so as only to speak in whispers, pain
induced on coughing, cough dry, or raising
only a trifle in the morning, quite feeble
and emaciated. Had taken several medi
cines, with but littlo or no benefit. He
commenced with Humphrey’s Cough Pills,
no 7—one pill three times a day, and soon
found himself improving—his cough milder
and softer, hoarseness passed off, strength
and appetite improved, and in a lew weeks
was entirely well, having taken no other
medicine. feb2l ts
