<X!)C Constittitionniisi, 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! SPECIAL NOTICES. AUGUSTA REAL ESTATE AND BUILDING ASSOCIATION.

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.
