They live at home and board *.* cue same plaoe, but the latch string don't hiuig on tho outside much. They don't wait anybody to borrer their wneel-barrer nor get water out of their well. Still I suppose they are try in to do the very best they can. I like a m « n who can’t refuse a poor feller credit whm he needs it And is tryin to {ay. In fakt its better to credit him ana lose it taun to be dodgin round the truth to keep from it or to die from ossld- a«***.uu oi toe i-eait and pek rocks in the next world for a hvin. I knowd a poor shoemaker oust to at & storekeeper to trust him for » pair of shoe pincoen. The storekorpex udd him he would do so but tuat he dident have a pair in the house. The poor fehu..* lookd around sadly and Impend to see cm upon the top shelf, with one pair outsipe the rap per. ” Why, there’s sum, Mr. Mack,” says be. Mack wilted for a moment, but b«> rallied and says, ” them up there ore, steel pinchers ax d;are worth just two dol lars and a half.' 7 Joe knowd they was iron and was worth 37| cents, butbo iner- sciitly remarked that ne had never had a steel pair and he bclievd he would try em. Hack ...way* declared them pinchers was uiity well sold ino he never.got the money. I tmnk however that every man ort to do the very best he can. Hut of all times in the world I look upon the credit system as just the thing for a panik—not that the panik is any thing pcrtikler to me. By no means. I've been right in the middle of one all my life. I’ve never seed the time that there wasent a crisis at my house. I was horn in a strain, and its follcred me up like a shadder ever since. I’ve got akkli- rnated to it, as the doktors say. It’s part of my daily entertainment to contrive for future supplies- It keeps me lively and jolite and amiable. I hear these mer chants tawkin about “bridgin over” and "hedgin in” and diggin a bole to-day to be filled up to-moarrow. Well, eTcxy man and woman in these times ort to do tho very be*t he or she can, but as for nodgin and bridgin I could hav got a patent right for all that sort of bisness 20 years ago, and had it renewed for improvements every par since. No sur, I've no idea of jinin the cash system at my time of life, aisi espeshually jud at tins pcrtikler period. My constitution wouldent stand it. It's goin to be jest all that a feller can do to git through this squeeze on a credit, and as for me I would perish to deth in two days if u>y existence depended on the cash, ft’s goin to take a dubbie team to pull through this mud hole, shore, and right smart pusbin behind. We've all got the brecchin on at my house, and weT. go through if tho home string don’t break and the darned thing don't Ubt too long. One of these long- winded panik* would strain my cipdit system power! ully, but everybody must do the very best he, she or it can and trust to i "re vice nee for tho sequeL Mr. Nevin, sur—Now is the time for foaks to show what metal they are made of. Now is the time for foaks to hold up their beds and hav confidence. If every body who has got a surplus will lend it to them who hascut (one of whom I am which) thing* will git equalised and regu lated in no time. There is a plenty of money anil plenty of truck for everybody if it was divided out right. I’vo always managed to git my sheer, though at times it's required more strategy to keep the little Arps in vittels and eloath* than lionypart displayed in his retreat from Moscow. J tell you what’s a solemn fakt, a whole passel of children of all sizes, from a saddle tack up, will sharpen a poor man’s wits quicker than anything in tne world—etpeslnuUly if the old nen keeps up a rospektable cacklin in the rear. "Keep a movin, old man,” says she, "keep a movin' and never say die. Bull run s shoes are out at the toes, Cbikahominy hasent got a whole coat to his back, and you know he’s beginnin to notice the girls a little, and wants to go decent; Shenandoah must have a meriner dress for the winter, and the baby is oblecged to have a pair of little blankets . , ' _ .I L'■ . ...

Nobody has ever sled that billoon or that man from that day to this, and my hope is that he went (fed strait to heven; tho I aint a warrantin that line to nobody at this tuse.” Well, I don’t like em either, but I will advise them who aspires to go that way to heven to do the very best they can. vastly. Mr. Nevin. I want to remark that these panik*, these collapses, these bust up*, these “top not* cum down,” are just a«Bdce*«U7 for the good of the coun try as an emetic is to an overcharged stummsk.

If I was King I’d fix a^ remedy for bloated fortunes mity quick. I’d tax a man nuthin on an incum of 5 thonsan dollars and under. I’d tax 10 per ct. on all between & and 10 thouaan. Twenty per ct. on all between 10 and 20 thousan. and so on doublin np to 60 thou- a&n. Above that I’d take it oil, erzy dol lar. 1 tell you that will git em. That will keep dowu the o Wall st. rings. It will let a man hav enuf for all decent and respectable purposes, and after that he mu t do his she r for them who swet and toil and havent been a., smart or mean or us lucky as himself. It will put a limit upoa u mans avari • and keep inunny in better employm -nt than payin SLOjOOU for a horse or 1L0 thousand for u •Lomond pin. When this law is passed, Mr. Nevin, oar fam.iy supplies will be so • icap that the like* of me and you and oar vriTcn and children can frolikhalf our uine. I think your tother leg would grow out and the hair cum back on the top of my head, the place where the hair ort to grow. Until that galorions time let us all do the very best we can.

I went a chesnut huntin The Carrier-Pigeons Beating the Telegraph In Hie Transmission of News from Versailles to Paris. fenaiUts Corrv»|sjodenc« New Turk Thaos.] Perhaps it is worth while noting here one novelty in the way of transmitting news. Tho Paris journals are not greatly noted for enterprise, and all of them ap pear to think that, for anything which transpires beyond the French frontier, few day* more or less in the transmission of news can make very little difference. But it is a very different matter with news trom Versailles. The smallest journals have two or more men contin ually there, at salaries of eight hundred or one thousand francs per month, aided by messengers, and authorized to use a cub whenever neoessazy. In the stable adjoining mine, a Gaulois reporter keeps his horse at the expense of the journal, and drives to Versailles every morning before 9 o'clock, coming bock in the evening. Those who reproach the French press for want of enterprise little know their liberality in getting news from Versailles. But the heaviest xpensc fall* upon the evening journals. T«*ej go to pr< .it a ;i0, and hence must nave tile news sent by express, by special courier, or by telegraph. As a general thing the latter mode is found too slow, owing to the regulations of the service. A piece of nows which does not please the eye of the operator has to be submitted to bis chief, who may perhaps demand signature of the Minister of the In terior before he sends it. As this would require two or three hours, and perhaps un entire day, the telegraph is not exact ly trustworthy for the transmission of political news when one is pressed for time. In consequence, the telegraph has been given up to tne oillcial and semi official press. In the present cose the Liberto has surmounted the difficulty bj •mploying carrier pigeons. A cage of birds is token to Versailles by train every morn ing. The rti»orter writes in very fine character upon tissue piper, and cry half hour] tends his notes out to an assistant in the yard of the Trianon, who attaches them to the bird and starts him off at once. The trustiest dispatch agents are kept for the last. The bin! rises itraight into the air for about a hundred feet, remains poised there a moment while getting his bearings, then shoots away with remarkable rapidity, and in direct lino for his familiar cote. He Jaah in without delay, rushes to his mas ter, who is waiting for him with his din ner, and offers no resistance while the manuscript is being detached. A mes senger takes it at once to the printers. The birds take from fifteen to twenty minutes to make the trip, just about the time it would take a messenger boy to stroll from the telegraph office to the bureau of the journal, and he brings each time the matter for eight or ten or dinary telegraphic dispatches. But care must be token in writing, so that the words can be read by a magnifying glass. The last bird is dispatched about ten minutes after 3 o'clock, and being an old and experienced carrier he is generally on hand at 3:30 wita tho “very latest news.” Yesterday the birds were on time, while the telegraph dispatches sent off at the same moment were only pub lished in the edition of 7 o'clock in the evening, having arrived a half-hour too •ate for the first edition. I am told that the forms are kept open for four or five minutes when a bird is expected, but never delayed for an instant for the tele graph. Ail this is not very creditable to the telegraph men who have invented the means for sending four messages by the same wire at the same instant, two in each direction, but it is nevertheless a curious commentary upon the times.

Kaat Hiluxbuxd cays that nowhere is honesty more general than in Fran m t it is found everyw here and in every station, from the poorest day-laborer to the mil lionaire. Thieves and swindlers on a large scale there are, of course, but no more than in England and America; pet ty broaches of trust are absolutely un known. Servants and workmen are scru pulously honest; theft* about house, the disappearance of small articles, petty frauds, are never heard of. Sava a wit; Last year I saw a watch .pring, a not* run, a rope walk, a horse dr, and even the big trees leave. I even saw a plank walk, and a Third avenue oank run, but the other day I saw a tree box, a cat fish and a stode fence. I am now prepared to see the Atlantic coast and the Pacific elope.
