The Augusta Chronicle ami Senti- ,
nel has this to say of the usury laws: :
There is not much usury in a law
which allows a charge of twelve tier j
cent.—orten a higher charge than
the regular bank rate for the use of 1
money ; which can be easily evaded ;
and for the violation of which the ;
only penalty provided is a forfeiture
of tne luterest in excess of twelve )s>r
cent. If tb advocates of a usury
law are satisfied with this statute
the friends of fret! money have little ' t
reason to complain.
The ’‘advocates of a usury law” are j
not satisfied with this statute, they
doubtless accepted it on the principal
that “a half loaf was better than
none at all.” But we think that they
erred in accepting it. They now de
mand that a law be passed which will
allow only seven per cent, for the use
of money.

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.
Andieondacks, New Yoke, I
September 27,1875. f
Editor Times: White face Mountain,
away to the eastward, conspicuous
from every point of the route I hail
yet traveled, hoary with age, and
with light, fleecy clouds resting on
him like a maiden’s touch, towers
grandly into the sky, asserting his
supremacy over lesser peaks that rise
and face him, dim and hoary In the
distance. Far beyond the vision’s
grasp the unbroken forest stretches
away, while high up in the blue ether,
above all, a master-band has painted
cloud pictures that exceed the power
of words to describe.
Reaching the carry, the wagon
transferred my boat and traps over a
good road to Stony Creek pond. Here,
on a green grassy point projecting
into the pond, I encamped for the
night, and the sequel proved my con
jecture right, that there I would rest
In peace, secure from the onset of the
enemy—the winged leeches.
Having heard that pickerel abound
ed In these ponds, and desirous of
adding to the limited variety of the
supplies in my provision bags, I
shoved my boat into the pond and
threw out a trolling line into the dark
and sombre pool. I let out about 25
yards of line, aud made fast by plac
ing a stone ou the lino as it rested on
the seat beside me. Two strokes of
the oar tightened the line,and touch
ing it, I could fed the minnow spiu
niug at the end. Ha! there goes the
stone; the lino runs off the reel,
which I seize, and there is a splash
in the water as the pickerel, feeling
the strain on him, leaps into the air.
He seemed well hooked, but 1 was
cautious, aud when ho showed light
aud ran away with the line, I let him
have It, and when his ardor cooled, I
pulled steadily and soon had him
alongside. Grasping the landing
net, I gently pushed it under
him and attempted to lift him with
one hand, hut. lie was too heavy. I
seized the net with both hands and
next, moment he was lying helpless
in the bottom of the boat.
It being almost dark, I was satis
fied witli my luck for for the present
and pulled for the shore.
I weighed him aud he pulled on the
scale 7J lbs. Ho took affectionate
farewell of his fellows, and proceeded
to that bourne from which no pick
erel returns.
Here ended ray first days travel. I
1 had rowed and walked 27 miles and
the result was a swelling of the veins
muscles, and a sense of power able to
cope with any obstacles I might en
counter in my progress through the
woods.
Lighting ft candle, 1 studied
route I should take on the morrow.
I had resolved to proceed direct to
Little Tupper Lake, which affords
plenty of sport itself, and is admira
ble ns a centre from which to mnke
excursions to the many small lakes
and ponds that lie away back in the
woods on all sides, haunts of the deer
and trout, and comparatively unfre
quented.
Then spreading a bear skin on the
green velvet in front of tho tent, I
lit. a friendly pipe, and lay down and
let my thoughts wander afar.
At my feet the spectacle ponds lay
in sombre aud tranquil repose.
Hushed is the fragrant air, mute as the
voices of (hem that sleep to rise no
more. The kindly stars look down
from the deep blue above, peeping
through fleecy clouds, silvered by the
rising moon.
No sound save music in my own
heart, heard as in ocean shells. To
Its sweet melody my senses floated
away into dreamland, and I awoke
not until tho sun had painted the
east with a bright red glow.
I had passed the night on the grass
in front of my tent, and in the morn
ing was literally steeped In dew.
A little stiffness was the
only result, wliich soon wore
off, as I proceeded to the important
task of preparing breakfast.
Tho boat again loaded and trim
med, away we go for Big Tupper
Lake, on the wooded shores of which
wo hoped to bivouac that night. We
pass through the remaining ponds of
the spectacle group, a bright array of
glittering links, each surpassing its
predecessor in romantic beauty, and
enter Stony creek, the mouth of
which would have been difficult to
find among a few other creeks that
led I know not whither, but that I
had been admonished by'a party I
met on the St. Germain carry to take
the one on the right.
An hour’s pull through this mea
dow creek, crooked as tho trail of a
serpent, and often doubling itself, wo
glide into the Kaegnette river. For
fifteen miles now, our course is defi
nite, and there is plenty of room to
bend ourselves to the oar. I had
chosen a boat for lightness aud speed,
and although somewhat crank, tho
heavy load steadied her, and she be
haved admirably. Down the river
we go merrily, sweeping past the
sandy points and symmetrical head
lands, around the graceful curves,
and along the majestic reaches.
Water-maples of maguificient growth
line the banks, which are low in
some places and overflowed by the
river, creating long vistas between
the trunks, where a chance shot may
be got at a deer, standing in the cool
shade. I fired at one at long range,
but the bullet fell short.
Eleven miles down, we came to the
Oxbow, so called from a point on the
river where a canal has been eut
aeross from one part to another, the
COLUMBUS, GA., SUNDAY, OCTOBER 3. 1875.
river about n mile below, doubling
on Itself and returning within twenty
yards of the place where tho canal
forms the reunion of Its waters, there
by saving two miles row. Soon after
this abrupt transition, a gleam of
silver, ou the loft, through tho trees,
counsels a halt, and looking at the
map, we find that we are in near
proximity to Big Tupper Lako.
Drawing in the oars and using the
paddles we glide across the over
plowed bank and into the
forest, submerged to a varying
depth, by tho inequalities of
ground. Our progress is somewhat
slow, tho trunks of dead and fallen
trees blocking the way, and necessi
tating a devious course.
In a half hour we are clear, emerg
ing with a feeling of relief on Big
Tupper, and arc well repaid for the
effort. Resting tho paddle on the
knee, wo gaze on a scene seldom sur
passed. The lake glistens like a sea
of silver in front of us, surrounded
by a fringe of limitless green. A
number of islands, some rocky and
barren, others covered with a luxu
riant vegetation, stud its waters.
Beautiful bayous and shady oaves
spread themselves at the feet of the
mountains that raise aloft their for
est-crowned summits, while densely
wooded points and promontories
reach out into the lake.
Moody’s hotel, modestly so-called,
a log cabin of unusual size, stands
ten rods back from the shore, and
from its open doors comes an aroma
that sends a quick message to the
appetite, aud the order is given to
perform the military manoeuvre of
yesterday, which is admirably execu
ted, if anything, witli more eclat
than the former.
After dinner 1 hold individual con
sultation as to the next stage of my
route. Little Tupper Lake could not
be reached that day, aud there was
less certainty of being tormented by
insects on either of the few camping
places on Big Tupper, and better wa
ter to be had, than on the heart of
the forest, and also, in the lake near
Bog River Falls, pickeral abounded,
and offered the chance of good sport,
trolling. Ho I rowed over the seven
miles to tho camping ground, near
the falls, and pitched my tent. I
found an excellent spring of ice-cold
water, which was a boon of no small
value. I went trolling in the evening
and caught seven pickerel, weighing
in the aggregate 4:! pounds. Picker
el or muskalonge, as they are called
here, are an unsightly fish, uml the
flesh is too oily to be palatable. But,
then, "hunger is good sauce.”
Next morning 1 arose early, and
stepping out in front of the tent, I
found the sky overcast with gray,
gloomy-li>oklng clouds, betokening a
storm. However, soon after break
fast the clouds broke and floated
away iu fleecy fragments on a light
breeze, and I set out. A short carry
of ten rods around the falls brought
me into Bog river. Two miles up,
the stream divided, anil on consult
ing tho mai>, I found 1 had reached
Little Tupper stream. Turning a
bend of the river, I came upon a rap
id. Here I thought tho carry must
be. I searched the left bank every
where, but found no trace of it. I
concluded that this rapid must be
ascended, and beyond it I would find
the curry. Donning my rubber boots,
I stepped into the stream and drag
ged the boat against the swift cur
rent, between the rocks and over the
shallow places, where it required
much tugging and pushing to make
any progress. I found tho carry, un
loaded, and in an hour had every
thing past the second rapid a quar
ter of a mile in length. A mile fur
ther up I found another carry, which
I presumed led to Bound Pond.
I had been informed I would find
a horse and jumper at the far end.
If not there, I was to leave my bag
gage and proceed to Little Tupper
and get one Pliny Robbins to return
for It. Placing my provisions, &e., in
a little knoll, I covered them with
rubber blankets, and shouldering the
boat, I started off along the footpath.

Any one investing in these bonds has the satis
faction of knowing that his bond is certain to be
paid at maturity; and further that he assists in
building iu the City of New York, a permanent
Temple #f Industry, which will he au ornament
aud u pride to every American.
Each Bond-holder, until his bond is redeemed,
is a part owner of twenty-two seres of lsnd situa
ted in the heart of the City of New York, and es
timated to be worth Two Million, Four Hundred
Thousand Dollars. And the building, which is
estimated to cost Seven Millions.
The excavations for the foundation was com
menced on the 20th of May, 1876, aud the build
ing will bo ready to receive tho goods from the
Centennial Exhibition at its close.
No investment for people of small means was
ever offered equaling the Bonds of the Industrial
Exhibition Cos. The bonds are secured by a
mortgage wt ich makes the principal safe, and
eminently secure, and in addition to which each
bond-holder participates four times a year in the
allotment of premiums above named.
The difference between those bonds and a lot
tery ticket, is. iu a lottery the holder must lose
iiis money or draw a prize, while tho holder of au
Industrial Exhibition Bond, cannot lose his in
vestment, hot must havo returned to him, the
principal and a small rate of interest added, and
In addition, has an opportunity to draw a pre
mium ranging from S6O to SIOO,OOO.
Tho Board of Directors and the Trustees ef the
mortgage, are among the most eminent business
men of New York, and is of itself a guarantee
that the Bonds are a safe and disiroble invest
ment.
The Company is not responsible for any money
sent, except it be by check, Postal order, draft or
express, payable to tho order of The Industrial
Exhibition Cos.
