AUGUSTA, GA.:
Sunday Morning, October 10, 1875,
Pin-Backs— A Blast and Counter
Blast.
Dr. Loyick Pierce occasionally re
moves his eye3 from the contemplation,
of the stars and things beyond the
planetary system to fix them indignant
ly upon earth-earthy matters, which
are supposed, in their monstrous eon
tortion, to make angels weep. In a letter
to the Qiristian Advocate this venerable
divine pays his respects to the pin-back
fashion. He does not pronounce an ec
clesiastical anathema like the Canadian
priest, but his ridicule is something in
the similitude of a decoction of vitrol.
He thus writes :
bo has this mania seized upon our wo
men that even elderly ladies, who could
not brook so daiing an exposure, will
nevertheless pin back a little. How is thisV
Why is this? There is not a lady in Geor
gia, in whom the normal has not been sac
rificed to the abnormal, but what will ad
mit that this pinning back of dresses up to
the tight point is the most supremely ridi
culous and ugly fashion ever taken on by
our cultivated ladies.
We have seen very little to blame in
the old ladies, in this respect., possibly
because we did not regard them with
such artistic scrutiny as some men are
obliged to observe in the case of those
who are young and pretty. Here the
reverend Doctor has us at a disadvan
tage; for it is fair to presume he more
specially notices the mature sirens,
leaviQgtohis juniors the foolishness
of taking a bird’s eye view of the
blooming sibyls. For the life of us
though, we do not see why the aged
ladies and the bread-and-butter school
= girls should not pin-back “a little,” since
it is presumable that these extremes
of humanity are too old and too young
to care what anybody thinks concern
ing them. Had the Doctor aimed
his keenest shafts of satire at
females between the ages of sixteen
and thirty we would comprehend the
force of his attack ; but a slight al
ignment with fashion on the part of
old maids, or mothers, and girls under
sweet sixteen, need not be very severe
ly reprobated. There is our friend,
Willingham, however, who has the
hardihood to assume'the eccentricities
of youth and tell Dr. Pierce to his face
that the pin-back is the costume he
has been sighing for this last half
century. and he must become fuller of
years than any clergyman now ex
tant before torture or persuasion shall
wring from him a word of condemna
tion. Wherefore, he hopes never to
fail to admire the “beauteous forms
or pin-back angels that flit along the
street.”
The quarrel we have with the pre
vailing fashion, if we could quarrel at
all, is that the “sole daughter of our
house and heart,” who has never yet
read a newspaper, and therefore is not
likely to see this squib at her ex
pense, uses an infinite number of pins
to realize the requisite amount of
bunching, and then, forgetful of the
swathing, romps around until she
tears her gown into ribbons. It is a
spectacle for the dramatist to witness
the distress these “ rent notes” cause
her maternal parent, and we have
serious thoughts of monopolizing the
product of a calico mill in order to
keep this young miss supplied with
dresses. That is our sole grievance in
this controversy, and, up to the
present time, tears, threats, doll babies,
sugar cakes, rag money in fractional
pieces, and all the stern or tender
ways of exercising authority, are
wasted upon that imitative child. As
to the elfterly ladies we respect them
too much to criticise anything they
may do, and, as our days of love
and poetry are over, we have no time
to cast glances at the bewitching
creatures who revel in the spring or
early summer time of existence. When
engaged at our office we think only of
philosophy; at church we fix our gaze
upon the preacher and not at the choir
or female part of the congregation; on
the streets we count the brickbats and
enumerate the signs; at home we sleep,
read, eat, attend to (the domestic circle
and wonder "what the deuce we shall
have for breakfast; it may be, for di
version, we speculate as to where din
ner shall come from. But such a thing
as making an inventory of a young wo
man’s attire or attacking her devotion
to Madame Demorest never comes near
our head or heart. We leave the fasci
nation of such things to old editors like
Willingham and the excoriation of
them to patriarchal preachers like the
good Dr. Pierce.
Savings Banks. —The suffering among
the Northern working classes, the com
ing winter, will put the savings banks
to a severe test. Alluding to an angry
meeting of the victims of the Third
Avenue concern, the New York Herald
says: “It certainly appears desirable
that the friendly arrangement by which
an officer of the rotten bank was made
its receiver should be reviewed. It is
also proper that the course of the Bank
Superintendent should be brought be
fore the courts. The Savings Bank laws
are stringent, and as a false statement
made under oath to the Bank Depart
ment by the officers of such an institu
tion constitutes the crime of perjury,
there may yet be a means of punishing
the men who have enriched themselves
at the expense of thousands of victims,
even though they have managed to
creep out or the bank before the final
crash.” _____________
True. —The Nashville American says:
“Meat has advanced rapidly within the
past few days. It is not due to scarcity,
but to the speculative spirit prevailing
among the capitalists of the North and
West. At the same time cotton is go
ing down, and Southern farmers are
compelled to buy meat, which they
could better have raised at home.”
Grant.— TlnT fellow who figured up,
a while back, to show that Grant was
growing enormously rich, asserted that
Ilia- stock farm paid great dividends.
As it really sunk the President many
thousands per annum, it is probable
that his Excellency has had a shrink
■ure of securities all round, and may
vet take to shop-keeping for a support.
Interest—How it Compounds aud
. Crushes.
When Daniel Webster was once
dining at the house of a wealthy man
in Boston, some rare old wine was
brought out, and, as toasts were drank
and pledged, the host said to the
statesman: “ Sir, the liquor you are
about to drink again is worth its
weight in gold. It i3 more than one
hundred years of age. I have calcu
lated that every second you pause over
it an amount of interest is lost which
would surprise you.” Webster, his
deep, abashing eyes all aglow, listened
attentively, then draining his goblet at
one gulp, he reached for the bottle,
poured forth a mighty dram, and
thundered : “ Good heavens, my friend,
this terrible 'progression of interest
must stop ! Fill up the flowing bowl!”
Now, the point of this anecdote is
that a disastrous rate of interest
crushes the life out of the producing
classes in this country and, in some
way, must be stopped.
The following article from the New
York Day Book will, in this connection,
prove of no little value to those who
feel the merciless grip of a slavery to
money obligations, but may not ex
actly comprehend the workings of the
anaconda. Read this:
Suppose that the American public debt,
like the English public debt, is a perma
nent burden, strapped by the bondholders
upon the shoulders of the bondmen or
working classes, who alone work out the
public debt. Do these workingmen under
stand, realize, or have any conception of
the task imposed upon them?'We think
not. The English debt will "never be paid.
Whether it will ever be repudiated depends
upon the expressed voice of the people or
working classes there. So long as the
Government of England is a despotism,
though a mild type of despotism, the
working classes will remain slaves to the
English bondholders, for their voice will
never bo heard in protest against this*
slavery. Not so, however, in this country;
sooner or later, the great working millions
will speak.
Does the American workingman under
stand the terrible power of interest?
When the toilers of the United States are
creating for the bondholders the one hun
dred and odd millions a year interest on
this public debt, do they really realize the
task they aud their posterity have to ac
complish’
We will try to paint the picture.
Every man understands the meaning of
the term “compound interest;” how fear
fully it grows in bulk; every man knows
that one dollar, with its interest com
pounded and added and re-loaned, will
double iu ten years. Now, in the lifetime
of a nation three hundred years is not a
very long period, and our debt will not be
paid in three hundred years, for the peo
ple cannot grind out over its interest, if
they can ever grind out that.
To show clearly what the power of in
terest is, with the principal of “com
pounding,” which every money-lender con
trives to do, we will state a case.
It will pay any party who can raise the
money to do it, for the benefit of their
posterity, to appoint two trustees . at the
pay of $2,000 a year each, witli power to
perpetuate this trusteeship by making
new appointments on the death of each
official, aud to continue this trusteeship for
three hundred years, compounding interest
yearly and reloaning constantly all through
that period.
Three hundred years of trusteeship will
cost the sum of $1,200,000, the amount paid
to watch over one penny and its compound
interest for that period. Will it pay to
disburse the sum of one million two hun
dred thousand dollars, carrying the job
through three hundred years, to collect
seven per cent, quarterly, add to princi
pal and re-invest, when that principal is
only one penny ? Let us see. Money loaned,
interest collected quarterly, added
to the principal and reloaned
(the bondholder’s dodge upon all
bondsmen who can be induced to carry
loans), will double every ten years. In three
hundred years the penny thus manipulated
will double thirty times. Let any working
man who is tugging to pay his taxes, made
so much heavier by the interest on the pub
lic debt, and whose posterity for the next
three hundred years will have to tug, and
under still greater poverty, just sit down
and double the penny thirty times and look
at the result. Hero it i5—510,719,171.84 (ten
millions, seven hundred and nineteen thou
sand, one hundred and seventy-one dollars
and eighty-four cents !) Now, deducting
the salary paid two trustees, and their as
signs of the trust down—down—the whole
three hundred years, we find the parties
who have inherited the results of the loan
of the single penny for that time
have cleared the snug sum of
$9,519,171.84 (nine millions, live hun
dred and nineteen thousand, one hundred
and seventy-one dollars and eighty-four
cents!) Bondmen of the United States! if
one penny, with its interest compounded
for three hundred years, give such accu
mulations to the lenders, what will be the
footings you and your posterity will have
to pay in three hundred years, where each
year’s interest only is over one hundred mil
lions of dollars? Do you get the idea? Does
it not startle you, when kaowing that pro
ductive industry alone must create this
huge aggregation of wealth which the
three hundred years’ bondholders’ mort
gage on the bodies and souls of the Ameri
can property-producing classes demands ?
We are inclined to the idea that, if any por
tion of this American debt can constitu
tionally be paid now in greenbacks, you
toilers of America will soon move to so pay
it. __
Cornelius Vanderbilt deserves credit
for founding a university at Nashville,
even if the city is already provided with
more than one institution bearing that
name. It was hardly necessary, how
ever, that at the dedication on the 4th in
stant, Dr. Deems should reply to Mr. Van
derbilt’s very virtuously-worded tele
gram—“ Peace and good will to all men - ’ —
by saying: “Cornelius, thy prayer is
heard, and thine alms are had in remem
brance in the sight of God.” This an
nouncement was made to the original Cor
nelius is a supernatural vision, and we
must be permitted to doubt whether Dr.
Deems’ authority for applying the words
to a Wall street and railroad magnate came
from a celestial quarter. —Cincinnati Ga
zette.
We are inclined to believe that when
a Vanderbilt gives $500,000 to a uni
versity, at one clip, it was preternatural
at least. Dr. Deems was right in giving
him the benefit of the doubt at all
events.
Odd.—We read that an English trav
eler, Mr. Hartshorne, gave the British
Association, the other day, an account
of the Weddas, a wild tribe which lives
in the interior of |Ceylon. These Wed
das are about five feet high, live on
water and roast monkey, and are, he
reports, incapable of laughter. After
trying every way to make their chief
laugh, and failing, he asked, in amaze
ment, whether they ever laughed.—
“ No,” replied the Wedda. “ Why
should we? What is there to laugh
at?” Heavens! what chief mourners
these fellows would make at a first
class funeral!

Academy of* Richmond Cos.
ON ACCOUNT OF THE PRESSURE OF
the times, and the general financial
embarrassment of our people, it has been
determined to make the following
CHANGE IN THE RATES OF TUITION.
1. The Ticket System is abolished, and
the collection of Tuition Fees is placed in
the hauds of the Teachers
2. Where parties are unable to pay for
the whole session in advance, they can pay
by the month in advance, without any ex
tra charge above the session rates.
3. The charge for Primary. Classes is re
duced from sl6 to $12.50 per session of
nearly five months. '.
Pupils will be admitted at any time, and
charged only from the date of their admis
sion.
By the foregoing changes, the rates of
tuition at the Academy are made as low as
those of any school of a like grade in the
whole South, and the
Advantages Offered by this Institution
To the public are, through tiie liberality of
the Board of Trustess, greater than those
offered by any other school in the limits of
the Southern States.
For full particulars as to course of study,
