A Connecticut broom-poddler—a
shrewd chap, from, from over among
the steady habits, wooden clocks,
schoolmasters, and other fixins—drove
through the streets of Providence
heavily laden with corn brooms. He
had called at several stores and otter
ed his load, or ever so small a portion
of it; but when he wanted the cash,
and nothing else, in payment, they
had uniformly given him to under
stand that they had brooms enough,
and that he might go further. At
length he drove up to a large whole
sale store un the \\ est side, and once
more ottered his wares.
“Well, i want the brooms badly
enough,” said the merchant, “hut
what will von take ki pay 7”
This wits a poser. Tin • peddler was
aching to get rid ol liis brooms : lie
despised the very sight of his brooms ;
but he would no sooner sell a single
broom for cash than the whole load
for any other article—especially that
which lie could not dispose of so read
ily as he could brooms. Alter a mo
ment’s hesitation, hovyeYer, he screwed
his courage to the sticking point—it
required some courage, after having
lost his chance of selling his load half
a dozen times by a similar answer—
and frankly told the merchant he must
have cash/ Os course, the merchant
protested that cash was scaicr, and
that he must purchase, if he purchased
at all, with what he had iu liis store
to pay with. He really wanted the
brooms and did not hesitate to say so.
J3ut the times were hard, and he had
notes to pay, aud had goods that most
be disposed of.
Finally, he said he would put the
goods at the cost price, for the sake of
trading, and would take the whole
load of brooms which the peddler had
labored so unsuccessfully at the other
stores to dispose of
‘ .So unload the brooms,” said he to
the man from Connecticut, “ami se
lect any articles from my store, aud
you shall have them at cost price.”
The peddler scratched liis head.
There was an idea there, as the sequel
shows plainly enough.
“I tell you what it is,” he answered
at last, “just say them terms for Irnlf
the load, and caslt for t’other half, and
I’m your man. Li lowed et 1 <k>n t
st'll eout, if Connecticut sinks with all
her broom stuff, the next minute.”
The merchant hesitated a moment,
l,ut finally concluded the change a
good one.' He would be getting half
the brooms for something that would
not sell as readily; flfs for the cost
price, it was easy gammon in regard
to it. The- bargain wws struck', the
brooms were brought in, and the cash
f,,. half of them was paid over.
“Now, what will you have for the
remainder of your bill asked the
jwc reliant.
The peddler scratched his head
again, and this time more vigorously.
He walked the floor, whistled and
drummed with lus fingers on the head
of a barrel. By-and-by his reply
caino —slowly,, deliberately and em-
phatically :
“Ton Providence fellers are cuto ;
you sell at cost, prbtty much all of
you, and make money. 1 don’t see
how its done. Now, I don t know
about your goods, burrin' one article,
and es I take anything else I may be
cheated. So, see in’ as ’t\von t make
any odds with you, I guess J 11 take
brooms- 1 know them liko a book,
and can swear to jest what you paid
for ’em.
And so saying, the peddler com
menced re-loading his brooms, and
having deposited half of his former
load, jumped on his cart with a regu
lar Connecticut grin, and leaving the
merchant cursing his impudence and
| his own stupidity, drove off in search
of another customer.
The Lcgitl-Tciidtti' Decision
mill its El'iccl*.
The New York Commercial and J'intm
cial Chronicle , of the 12th, has an arti
cle on this subject that will interest
business men generally. Wo annex
some extract:
It is important for us to see just
what has boon decided, and to learn,
if possible, the results, both immedi
ate and remote, which are likely to
flow from it. The question before the
Court arose on a note made previous
to the passage of the Jjogul Tender
Act, and was, in substance, whether
such a contract! 1 , promising to pay dol
lars, could be discharged by tlie ten
der of currency; anti the decision was
that it could only be paid with specie.
In the opinion of the Chief Justice
very many important questions ore
discussed, and his views arc very fully
rxjws'ssed ; lvnt yet tlm only point be
fore the Court, and, therefore, the only
point that could be decided wa» us
stated above. This distinction is im
portant, inasmuch as the inevitable
inference and conclusion of the opin
ion of the Chief Justice is that the
LegalT tender Act is wholly unconsti
tutional, and yet ho subsequently
places his decision on the ground that
the act, it enforced, would impair tin
calm: of contracts made anterior to its
passage, and therefore, to that extent
is void, lienee, it was unnecessary
for the Court to pronounce upon the
broader question, audit did not do so.
But still, in the disposition which
the Chief Justice, and his associates
agreeing with him, have made of this
last case, we find apparent the very
same consideration lor the public good
which, as stated above, lias marked
their course during their whale oun
roversity. Tho act, they believe, is
wholly on constitution ai—in which
view a very large proportion of the le
gal talent of the country coni.-ius—
and so they indicate that belief very
clearly ki the ruling opinion, thereby
giving tlie country one more notice to
prepare for what must necessarily
come while they dispose of the casein
hand without meeting that issue.
Os course, as an immediate result
of tho present decision, all outstand
ing bonds and other obligation made
prior to the passage of the legal ten
der act, (and which have not been ab
solutely or constructively renewed in
currency), arc restored to a coin basis,
principal and interest.. The direct-in
ttuence of this may be important, on
the general subject of a return to a
specie basis, l’robably not less than
three hundred and titty millions ot
state, city and railroad bonds will thus"
become specie paying. Beside, this,
deposits in saving biui.Us, prior to,
. I Mid, «ud as some claim life iusuro-no*
! policies issued before that date may
be brought under the sarnie rule.
Hence, it' tho applicability’ of this
decision is thus extensive, the people
will be to a greater extent familiarized
with a coin currency, or at least, tlvere
will be these additional interests draw
ing in that direction. The cotton
trade must soon follow, and after that
other departments oi business; espe
cially when the people sec that they
are only anticipating tho inevitable by
a brief period. Another interest we
would remark in passing, which is al
so likely to be directly attected by this
decision, is railroad companies, whose
rate of fare* is fixed under old statutes.
The New York Central read, for in
stance, is restricted by act of the Leg
islature to two cents per mile for pas
sengers.- It is believed .hat there is
no reason why they cannot new de
mand two cents in specie if they so
desire.
But as we stated above, there are
results of the principles laid down by
the Chief Justice, more remote and
yet more important to the puplie at.
large ; and foremost among them is
the necessary conclusion that no future
: act can be passed by ('engross author-'
izing new issues of legal tenders. In
other words the minds of the people
may now be at rest, so far as the ques
tion of inflation w cencemed. It now
issues of tenders should be made, no
creditor can be forced to accept them.
We consider this result of the highest
importance to the business interests of
the country, since it gives us one ele
ment of eertainty with regard to the
future. But it may he claimed that
inflation process may be continued by
means of bunk notes. Ibis wo fool
is au evil wbi.cn carries an antnrote
within itself. Even during the pres
ent season banks in this city have
been forced to consider the propriety
of establishing some mode ot sending
back country bank notes for redemp
tion, and the time is not fur distant
when (if the government, does not it
self establish a thorough system of re
demption) the city hanks iw self de
fence will be compelled to do it; und
the more of these notes there are the
sooner it will come.
A healthy comjietition is waged by
two opposition stage lines in \\ iseon- !
sin. One lino carries for nothing and
gives a dinner to each passenger; the
other carries for nothing and gives
each passenger a dinner and a pair ot
buckskin gloves !
Two strangers recently stayed at a
farmer’s house in Orfliidy t_ enter,
lowa. The next morning oift hired
the farmer to take him to Steamboat
Bock. lhiring liis absence the other
ran away with his wife and children.
Oxlv six of the thirty-seven Gover
nors of the United States are lh-mo

straitest sect, or as an exchange puts
it, “the nondescript spawn, of military

The latest Honnation in New York
. is the opening of the first banking
house l»y women. Tho style of tho
firm is Woodhull, Cluflin & Cos., and
theiv place of business 41 Broadway.
Tbe novelty of the thing attracted
crowds of people. Everybody went
to take a look at the phenomenon, iMtil
were received with the cool profes
sional air of veteran ffnam’iers. They
answered nil questions curtly and
shrewdly ; said they intended to do a
stock, note and exchange business,
and, from the way in-which the coant- ,
ing-house was fitted up, they must
have money. Any way, they say they ;
will risk half a million to prove that
women are us smart us men in busi

At a temperance Dre-eting in Phila
delphia, some years ago, a learned
clergyman spoke in favor of wine as a
drink ; demonstrating iis use quite to
liis own sati-factisn, to be scriptural,
gentlemanly, and healthful. When he
sat down a plain elderly man rose, and
asked leave to say a few words. ‘A
young friend of mine,’ sakl he, ‘who
had long been intemperate, was at
length prevailed on to take the pledge
of entire abstinence front all that could
intoxicate, lie kept the pledge faith
fully for some time, straggling with liis
habit fearfully till one evening in a so
cial party, glasses of wine were hand
ed around. They caino to a clergy
man present, wlvo took a glass, saying
a few words in' vindication, ol the
janc-tite-. ‘Well,’ thought the young
man, ‘lf a clergyman can take wine,
and justify it to, well, why not I 1 So
lie also took a glass. It instantly re
kindled Iris tiery and slumbering ap
petite, and after a rapid downward
course, lie died of debt iimi tremens—
died a raving madman.’ The old man
paused for utterance, and was just able
to add, ‘that young man was my son,
1 and the clergyman was the Itev. Doc
i tor who has just addressed the nssem -
! blv.’

A “merchant prince” of New York,
a portly six-footer of great manly
beauty, who never dined without his
brandy and water, nor went to bed
without a terrapin or oyster supper,
and who was never known to be drunk,
died of chronic diarrhuea, a common
end of those w ho are never intoxicated
and never out of liquor. Hall’s Jour
nal of Health gives this account of hiss
death : *
Months before he died—he was a
vear in dying—lie could eat nothing
without distress, and at death tin
whole alimentary canal was a mass of
disc a so; in the midst of his millions
lie died of inanition. That is not the
half, reader. He bad hern a steady
drinker, a daily drinker for twenty
eight years. iScn ftlu had been eating
up one daughter for littoen years, ail
bother is in the mad-house ; the third
and fourth were of unearthly beauty,
but they blighted, jaded and- faded.—
into heaven, we tiust — in their sweet
teens ; another is tottering on the verge
of the grave, and only one is left with
all the senses, and each of them is as
weak as water.

| H#u Who \\ iii Women.
I God has sw muxfe tho sexes that wo
men like ‘children cling to men : lean
ujxm them as thouph they were supe
rior in mind and lusly. They i»aike
Yiuuu suns of tlie system fiuti Jlieir
children .revolve around theinu Men
ai'e gods if they but kuew it, women
h Wiling incense at their shrines. Wo
men therefore, who have good minds
and pure hearts, want men to lean up
on. Think of their reverencing ■
drunkard, a liar, a fool or a libertine.
If a man would have a woman do him
homage, he must be manly in every
sense ! a true gentleman, not entirely
after the Chesterfield school, ou# prv
lite, because, his- heart is fail of kind,
ness to all; one who treats her with
respect, even deference, because she is
! a woman, who ir»i*r etmdescends to*
; say silly things to her ;. who brings
laer up to his level, if his mind is above
levs, who is never over anxious to do
right; who has no time to be? frivolous
with her. •
Always dignified in speech *nxT. act);
who iff'ver s j lends too much upon her?
never yields to temptation, even if she
puts ix iu the way ; ambitious to make
his mark in the w rld whether she en
courages hhiror not; who is never i*v
miliar with her to the extent of lieing
an adopted brother or a cousin ; who is
not over careful about bis dress ; uL
ways pleasant and considerate, but al
ways keeping his place of the muay
the head, and never losing it. Such
deportment, with noble principles-,,
good mind, energy awl industry, will
win any woman in the wide world,
who is worth winning.
