The Accumulation in The Treasury,
It is stated that the accumula
tion in the Treasury before the
close of the fiscal year will proba
bly reach $100,000,000. There are
no appropriations to consume it.
All the wants of the Government
are fully supplied without touch
ing a dollar of it and this immense
sum lies idle with a heavy loss to
the Government, and besides, the
Secretary -is embarrassed to find
room for its storage. That mon
ey if left to the people would af
ford them great relief. They are
heavily taxed to raise it and de
rive no benefit from its use. How
is it raised? In part by the In
ternal revenue and in part by the
tariff taxation. Tho great farm
ing interests of the country are
oppressed to raise it by a heavy
taxation upon all tho implements
of industry, and all the goods
they need to clothe themselves
and those dependent upon them.
Secretary Fairchild is propos
ing to make quarterly payments
of interest on the public debt to
get rid, in part, of this useless ac
cumulation but such relief is de
pendent, upon the willingness of
the bondholders to accept the
interest in advance. It is likely
the bondholders would prefer to
let it stand due than accept pay
ment in advance. Some few who
tion. There is a statement to the
effect that tlia Government will
propose a plnn for partial amdlio-
ration at the next session of Con
gress. The idea put forth is, it
will make a partial reduction with
the hope that the protective dem
ocrats will support it. We hope
they will, and will see so much
benefit in it that they will be in
duced to come back to the old
time principles of the Party.

The Prolongation of Life.
We present a few facts on this in
teresting subject culled from an arti
cle which we find in an old Retrospec
tive Review published more than
half a century ago in London. The
subject is nn interesting one; the arti
cle is of considerable length and we
present some of the pithy facts in the
language of the author and occasion
ally in our own for the sake of brevi
ty. with a strict adherence, however,
to the meaning of the writer. It will
take two moderately long articles to
complete it. not giving it all in full
but only parts of its interesting fea
tures.
We do uot know how it may be
with our readers, but for our own
part, we confess that we are very
willing to be—that is, to remain to
exist, as long as circumstances and
the fates will permit. We should
have no objection to bargain for some
five hundred years (we don’t like to
be unreasonable) provided we might
during that time write—and be read.
This exhibits something of a common
infirmity, which we, of editorial na
ture, should not be too forward to al
low. For an editor as he is in numer
als more than a man, so ought he to
be superior in a freedom from the
ordinary infirmities—prejudice, igno
rance, haste, death, and the like.
The excuse we offer for contesting this
is—It is true.
Like other people of great preten
tions, kings, poets, warriors, philoso
phers, popular preachers, inventors
of ’patent’ medicines—so editors of
magazines and other papers die off
and decay. The “brief candles” (from
a farthing upwards) after shedding a
little light, and showing a due amount
of vaporing—puff and struggle and
at last go out, leaving the world in
darkness. Readily admitting our
frailty we may lay claim to some qua!
ities which readers may throw’ into
the opposite scale. If our readers
oan forgive omissions we are content.
Let them not deny to our wish of five
hundred years its possible accomplish
ment.
Much no doubt may be done for
our inveterate lovers of life, by air,
exercise and diet. There is no know
ing what to do with the rebels against
their own immortality. Some insist
upon the incompetency of all possible
elixirs. This is uot fair dealing. Pro
verbs, as well as facts should teach
us better.
“Senior may you live a thousaud
yeafts.” Such used to be a Spaniard’s
wish; nay it is even so now. It has
grown into a proverb. “May you
live a thousand years.” It sounds
like a magnificent blessing, full and
musical. We talk of a fine old age of
three score years and ten, It is con
teuiptible. What can wo do that is
worth doing, in so poor a fragment of
time? Once our fathers were a
mighty people. The men before the
flood and after. Tho patriarchs saw
through the long file of their genera
tious, blessing and blessed. It is true
the taint of the first murder was upon
them; all were not free from error,
yet unlike us not sickly and degener
ate they did not fall like us before our
time and die like us in the morning
of our wisdom. They read the stars
and “commerced with the skies."
Heavens bright gates were opened to
them, disclosing to their seers its
wondrous secrets. Dumb nature
obeyed them and spoke. The rock
burst and gave forth its waters. The
great sea bared its heart and lot them
pass. They had visions radiant as
day, gorgeous as the rainbow—they
hail angels for their companions; they
want looney may be willing to ! heard the word of God and lived. The
omplv with his terms but we | long lives ofAhe patriarchs is attested
think he will fail to reduce the
accumulation to any serious ex
tent in that way. Former Secre
taries, even Republicans, recom
mended to Congress to lower tax
ation upon materials and articles
of necessity to prevent these
heavy accumulations. But the
Republicans aided by protective
democrats kept up the high tariff
rates. They would not even con
sider the propositions of the main
body of the Democrats. The
government becomes a loser indi
rectly, but the loss falls upon tho
people.
ue doubt if Mr. Fairchild will
succeed to any serious extent, but
he deserves credit for tho effort.
At best it can save but little for
the Government, and tho people
will derive scarcely any benefit
by the Chaldean, Egyptian and Chi
nese authors who speak of the great
ages of those who lived in early times,
and Pliny and Xenophon admit their
testimony without hesitation. Wheth
er longevity is tQ be ascribed to some
peculiar providence is another ques
tion. The Chaldeans and perhaps,
others, believed that life depended on
tbe stars.
Whether nature has so fashioned
the orazy tenement of man, that it
will endure the storms of a thousand
winters, we cannot pretend to say.
Here our experience rails us, and the
ory supplies little but conjecture.
But that life may be improved and
prolonged and death retarded, we
conscientiously believe. In the year
1497 in a fish in Suabia, a carp, of pro
digious size, was found, which had in
its ear a ring of copper with these
words in Latin: “1 am the first fish
that was put in this pond by the
hands of Frederick the Second, Gov
ernor of the World, the 5th of Octo
ber, 1380.” So that this carp must
have lived two hundred and sixty-
n years. Coming down later w
Florida) there died an Indian Prince
200 years old who was known to have
lived that long, and it was authori
tatively stated, that three Hungarians
lived, respectively, to tiie ages of 172,
185 and 187 years. Old Parr, au Eng
lishman died in 1685, aged one hun
dred and fifty-two years. Lawrence
Hutland died in the Orkneys when
lie was one hundred and seventy, and
the famous countess of Desmond was
known to be more than one hundred
and forty at the time of her death.
Almost all of these extremely aged
persons seem to have used a great
deal of exercise. Home lived in cold,
some in warm climates. The old pa
triarchs lived beneath a burning sky,
and tilled an arid soil. It is clear
then that man is constructed of sucli
durable materials as to be able to live
and light up against all the adversi
ties of circumstance, and to withstand
tile rigors of all seasons, whether at
tile tropics or the poles.
Old age is said to lie “the only nat
ural disease” inflicted upon human
nature. The curries of the East, the
(Sauces of France, the grapes of Spain
and Portugal huvebeen the oneuiiosof
man. The sins of Roman banquets tire
visited on the heads of their imbecile
generation. Modern appoplexies may
be traced to the enormous barons of
beef and roasted oxen, upon which
our forefathers fed to satiety.
In the first place moderation must
be carved upon every plate and
should stand out in bright relief on
every wine cup. Many of our wits
showed plethora rather than strength.
The older men are rosy, but not
healthy, huge but not robust. The cold
evening winds which meet them (like
the scythe of time,) after the city
ceremonials, would pass them harm
less, were they temperate at table.
The “sous of Belial” may never as
pire to be long livers. The student
who studies in excess, who sits long
by day, and trims the midnight lamp
pays the penalty at last, and ear
ly too. Even excess of thought is
bad, made more so by sitting long,
wasting strength both of body and
mind. The sedet eturnumquu sede-
bet has been often quoted; yet he who
sits much may breakfast with the
Houris, and drink nectar with Jove
at noon, but in the evening he must
sup with Pluto. He must part with
all, even his darling books, perhaps,
in the summer of life. Roger Bacon
was an extraordinary man. His wis
dom obtained for him the hate of his
contemporaries and the reputation of
dealing with the Devil. He was, in
truth, a great light in a dark age—a
fiery pillar, that withered the green
follies and dwarf superstitions around
him. But he wrapped up much of
his wisdom in a cloth of mystery.
His book on the “cure of old age” is
curious enough. In the midst of
great accuracy of thinking, he be
trayed certain small superstitions of
science. He believed in dragons'
blood (and of course iu dragons,) in
tiie bones of stags' hearts, and the
aurum potabile. He gave various re
cipes for tlie>,ure of human ailments,
but added however, “1 have not tried
these things.” We admire his cau
tion. Among his recipes was the use
of wine mixed with water, which, he
saiil, cheered the heart, and he inno
cently added, “I think it is to be im
puted to the wine, not the water."
We think so too. Bacon considerate
ly added, “If it be overmuch guzzled,
it will do a great deal of harm.” We
have heard as much ourselves, and
we accordingly join in Hacon’s coun
sel of temperance, with respect to this
perilous though pleasant liquor .
Oornaro, a Venitian, by excess in
eating and drinking, had destroyed
his health and lost all pleasure in ex
istence. Possessing a strong brain
and stout heart, he resolved to ab
stain from excess in both and contin
ued in excellent health up to his sev
enty-eight year. In that year his
friends and relations, actuated by
warm and laudable affection, urged
him to add something to the scanti
ness of his daily food, insisting that
it was required to sustain him in his
growing years. Ho yielded at last,
but insisted upon adding only two
ounces of food to the 12 ounces he
took daily, and two ounces of wine to
the 14 he drank during the same pe
riod of time. This was a very small
addition. In eight days time it mude
him peevisli and melancholy and on
the 12tii day he was attacked with a
dreadful fever which continued thir
ty-five days aud nights and came near
consigning him to the grave. He for
tunately recovered and lived to be
over one hundred years old. We
make the brief statement from his
own written and published account.
So we see the astonishing benefit of
curtailing his food and wine only two
ounces each. After the change he
said, “I sleep everywhere soundly and
quietly, without experiencing tbe
least disturbance, and all my dreams
are pleasant and delightful.”

It is a very mistaken notion that
prevails witli laboring men—men who
labor chiefly with their hands—that
rich men must be treated as enemies.
The laboring men, especially those
who follow a trade, are in a great
measure dependent on the prosperity
of their neighbors who are rich for
employment aud the means of living.
The rich man may not help the labor
ing man as a matter of choice, but of
necessity; yet the laboring man gets
the benefit the same as though tiie
help was of free will and not compul
sory. If men did not get rich there
would be no costly residences, or
churches, or public buildings erected,
no improvements in city or country,
and in various other ways by which
the rich are induced to spend large
sums of money from year to year for
personal comfort or pleasure. The
poor laboring man who sits down
and curses his lot and his rich neigh
bor because he is rich and lives easy,
stands in his own light, so to speak.
When men are rich the country is
prosperous, and without such pros
perity the laboring man, however
worthy and willing to work, will get
no hire.

strength increases. Do this regularly,

A Library for the Asylum Without
Cost.
Among the large number unfortu
nately confined in the Asylum there
are necessarily a great many to whom
books would not only be a service of
great pleasure but undoubtedly valu
able aids in ameliorating their unhap
py condition. There is no appropria
tion by the Legislature for that pur
pose, and perhaps may never be.
A suitable library would cost ut least
several thousand dollars, and yet it is
quite practicable for the Asylum to
obtain n library at absolutely no cost
to the State, and comparatively none
to any one else. There are thousands
of families in the State who have
either members of their families or at
least friends in tho Asylum, and
there are thousands of families too
who have books in their houses
which they could, without the least
sacrifice, spare to tho Asylum. Now
if each of a thousaud- fauiiliea in the
State would give one book, no matter
if it is a second band one (the reading
In it is just as good,) the Asylum iu
this way ooula very easily secure a
really valuable library.
The authorities have had in the
new convalescent male building, a
reading room and library neatly fitted
up with tables, desks, pens and Ink
for writing, where most of the daily
papers, (as donations,) come, are put
on file, read and enjoyed very lhuoli
by the patients. The Atlanta, Maoon,
Savannah, Augusta, and Columbus
dailies come every day. Neat book
cases have been provided but the in
stitution has as yet no books. Every
family in the State is, or ought to be,
friends to the Asylum, for they know
not how soon the hand of misfortune
may be heavily laid upon some one
dear to them. Then do let the writer
urge that every family In the State
take this matter to heart. Don’t
simply say “Oh, yos, it is a good
idea, ,r and then let it pass from your
mind, but act upon it at once. There
caunot be, and indeed there is no
need of any concert of action in It.
All the books need not be sent at once
but let every paper in the State call
attention to this matter and as Boon
as anyone reads it, let him look at once
among his books and he will certainly
find one, If not more, that he oan
spare at once. Without further de
lay, put a wrapper around it and a
few cents postage on it and send it
through the mail, directed, as this
writer would suggest, either to Dr. T.
O. Powell, or Mr. L. J. Lamar, and
marked “for Asylum Library.” It
will in due time reach the Asylum,
and in a very short time the institu
tion will have a very valuable library
at absolutely no cost to the State,
and virtually none to the donors,
and when the Asylum is able to boast
of a good library, each donor will feel
a happy satisfaction in the reflection
that, even though in a small degree,
he has helped to secure such a bless
ing to the unfortunates. Then let it
be done at once and the many who
now long so for something to read
will bless those who had been so
thoughtful of their comfort. Think
how little the unfortunate creatures
have to interest them and keep their
minds from their own sad condition.
Apply the golden rule, or mentally
put yourselves in their places and im
agine how grateful you would feel;
consider how much it is to them and
how little to you and act at once.
The writer will start the contribution
with several volumes himself, and let
all do likewise.

Boys Should'nt Smoke.
From the Chicago Journal.
“There goes a boy,” remarked
my profound aud philosophical
friend, tho doctor, pointing his
finger at a lad of about sixteen,
who was puffing away at a cigar -
etto with his might, “there is a
boy who, if he doesn’t stop smok
ing those things before he is six
mouths older, will be hopelessly
ruined in body and mind. 1
have watched these young smok
ing chaps for some years, and the
result is always the same. They
get the habit fixed, and then they
might as well be dead at once.
The boy who smokes retards
the growth of his body, impedes
his mental development, becomes
a stunted, stupid man, and is fit
for nothing but a common Baloon
or billiard hall loafer as long as
he lives. Smoking cigarettes,
which are an abominable com
pound of filth and poison, de
stroys a boy’s health, weakens his
mind, and gradually makes a mor
al wreck of him. There arc few
exceptions to tho rulo. If that
boy would stop right off', now,
there woilld still be some hope,
but if ho koops on puffing those
things six mouths longer lie is a

Ex-Congressman Brady, one of tbe -
Republican leaders of Virginia, was mt.

being at sixes and sevens with little
Billy Mahone, tho Republican boss of
that State, Mr. Brady gently submit
ted to an interview in which he givoa-
some interesting information regard
ing the political situation in the Old \
Dominion. He says that Maliowa in >
his mad desire to make every otiiwr
iulereHt subservient toll is ambition to
return to the United States Senate,
lias alienated all of his old lieuten
ants, including such men us Senator
Riddleberger, Ex-Governor Cameron

mon-oleot-so, that only listless apathy

Secretary Fairchild, a few days
since, dismissed a pair of Republican
clerks for consuming a portion of
their valuable time during offer
hours in abusing the Democratic- par
ty, one of them being a brother of
the brass-throated G. A. R. howler,.
Gen. Grosvenor, Congressman from
Ohio. The Secretary well says that
lie thinks it too good in the Ad
ministration to keep Republicans in
their places, bat, that indecent criti
cism of the Democracy should not be
permitted. The sentiment of the able
and popular young Secretary of the
Treasury will find a ready echo in the
hearts of thousands of Democrats,
with the wish that there were more
Fairchilds iu tho Cabinet.
Secretary Wliitnev is pushing for
ward with the earnestness and enthn-
siasin characteristic of him, his efforts-
to re-hubilitate the American Navy,
having just awarded the contract foe
the building of two gunboats and
three cruisers, after the most ap
proved designs, and with sucli iron
clad test as to speed and capacity tlixt
full compliance with these condition*
is guaranteed. Another commendable
action of the Secretary is bis contin
ued refusal to furnish any funds fut
the repair of rotten hulks like tbe
Monocracy that were Inherited front
the late Republican regime.
Two Republican chief olerks of fit*
Interior Department have resigned:
during the present Administration —
the successor of the last one not yet
having been chosen. I trust Secre
tary Lamar will be able to find souse
good and worthy Democrat for th*
position. It is a fact, perhaps net
generally known, that with a single
exception, every chief clerk of a De
partment under President Cleveland’*
Administration, is a hold-over Kepub
Mean, although those places are not
under civil service rules. Why this is-
thus, I have, as yet, been unable tc>
discover, but it “overcomes tue likte
a summer cloud.”
In the Washington Police Court
the preliminary trial of the Crawfcvs?
fornication case, which I have heuefco
fore mentioned, still drags its slow
length along like a slimy serpent, ow
ing to tiie fact that it must give way
each day to the regular routine of
cases. There was a most exertrnp
B-ene in this scandalous case; one at
the defendant’s counsel told the Judgit*-
tliat the United Htate.s District Attor
ney had said to the two associate-
counsel for the defense, that tbe
Judge would decide the case in Che
Government’s favor, regardless alike
of argument and evidence- that, m
fact, he had pre judged the case. Tide
statement tiie Judge had reduced to
writing, and as the venerable Jurist
read the charge iu open Court, his nxi
ger and passion were so overpowering
that he shook like an aspen leaf,
he denounced the arraignment “as a
false aspersion upon my character.**
Then, the District Attorney and tbe
opposing counsel had an unseemly
wrangle—the former afiirming aud the-
latter denying. I fully agree with
one of the defendant’s lawyers, who.
In a towering rage, declared that thf
way the case was being tried was “at
disgrace anil au outrage on all con
cerned in it.”
A warning to boys who smoke-
cigarettos is contained in the-
death of one of their number in
this 'city, recently. Whatever
ground there may bo for tho opin
ion that moderate smoking does
not injure adults, there can be no
question about its* effects upon
boys. It is seen in pinched
faces, stunted bodies and dwarf
ed intellects. Paste this axiom
in your hats, boys who are under
sixteen years of age. None of
