TBE PERIL OF REPUDIATION.
BY HORACE ORKKLST.
dkreful observers of politloal currents must
all eady have realized that there Is guthering
over this republio a cloud which thretteus
deeper disgrace than Hint of Hull Kuu, a
heavier disaster than any Fredericksburg or
. Chlckamauga. A defeat may bi retrieved, a
causeless panlo dispelled, a lost State or pro
vince recovered; but the guilt and shame ot
systematic, wholesale villauy, once branded
unmistakably ou a people, are rarely effaced.
Infamy, once Incurred, sitsever more and more
lightly on the culprit; being compelled to wear
its badge, be learns to disregard and defy It.
Our great national struggle with the slave
holders' Rebellion could only be brought to a
triumphant conclusion by means of men and
money. Brave hearts and strong arms In field
and camp were Indispensable; but weapons,
munitions, food, tenu, equipments, horses, etc.
eio., were no less bo. Civilized warlare becomes
year by year more expensive and exhausting.
The bombardment of a fortress like Sumter or
Fisher costs money; it Is impervious to naked
valor. A defeuslve conttst, ilk that of the
Bebels, may be maintained almost without
money; but had there ever been an hour In our
struggle when the Federal Treasury was unable
to respond to drafts upon It in currency that
contractors would gladly receive In exchange
for their muskets, tbelr powder, their beef, their
bacon, the war for the Union must have had a
sudden and disastrous close. Of the many
(lark hours of that protracted agony, I recall
scarcely one darker than that in which I
learned that persons were passing from store to
store In our city, offering to sell greenbacks for
city bank notes and pay two per cent, differ
ence. At a time when the premium on gold
was nearly the highest, a prominent citizen
bought a considerable amount of it to take
home, saying, "I may need this for my market
ing next summer."
In fnll view of national Impotence, and
fathomless treason, and utterly inexcusable
discomfitures, our Government was forced to
call on all who mill had money, or could raise
any, for loan after loan of millions upon mil
lions. Every successive defeat created a neces
sity for another great loan. '1 he lenders braved
a heavy risk; for the national overthrow, if
such should be our fate, was likely to be total
and remediless. Had a disunion peace been
dictated by Lee, after a crushing defeat of our
uim army ua tue eusquenanna or .Delaware,
, It would have been followed by a pro-Hebel
' Democratic triumph In most of our States, and
'their consequent accession to the Southern
Confederacy, leaving our national creditors
utterly without redress. As the Confederate
debt perished with the Confederacy, so the
national debt would have virtually died with
the Union.
But the Union gloriously triumphed, and its
debt is a sacred lien on all the property of lis
people. No other debt takes precedence of It,
whether in law or right. As we pay the pen
sions promised to the maimed heroes from our
battle-fields, so are we to pay our National debt
to the utmost farthing. And every attempt to
evade such payment, however indirect or
specious, is the proclamation of a rascality
which has its root In treason.
We owe as a people precisely what we agreed
to pay manifestly that, or nothing. To say to
our creditors, "Take something less," is no whit
lea villainous, though a little more cowardly,
than to say, "We will never pay you a cent.''
The terras were prescribed by the nation, and
by the nation they muM be scrupulously kept.
JHe who would repudiate the smallest portion
wnnlil rpniiillalA 1ia whnlA. If hn nnuld.
The fact that the Government was constrained
to make a glgantio forced loan, by declaring Us
greenbacks a legal-tender for certain purposes.
Is utterly irrelevant. That was decreed as a
measure of Imperative - necessity, under the
pressure of a oalamltous, exhaustive war.
During' that war the Government impressed
horses, fodder, etc., the property of private citi
zens, and Jald for them as it deemed just; but
it did not intend thereby to Ignore or defy the
cacredness of property. It simply affirmed the
higher obligation of preserving the national
We owed a glgantio debt when the war closed;
we have paid off a tithe of It already. We
might pay the residue within the next twenty
years if we would. Nay, had the taxes been
left as they stood in 183d, we should have paid
the last dollar bv the 4th or July, 187 a. But
Congress has taken off many taxes, and re
duced others; and still we are paying off oar
debt month by month, and will continue to
pay so long as any la due, if the taxes ars lelt as
they are.
. But those whom the debt'defeated hate those
Who lent the money whloh seoured tbelr over
throw, and will swindle them, if they can.
Their Journals assail the publlo creditors as a
pampered class, the monopolists of exolualve
and Invidious privilege; their orators inflame
the rabble with assaults on the debt and propo
sitions to evade Its honest payment. When
fentlemen by birth and breeding, like George
I, Pendleton, can gravely urge the Issue of two
billions and a half more of greenbacks, redeem
able In nothing, and a forced exchange of these
when thus rendered worthless by tbelr supera
bundance for the Interest-bearing bonds of the
Government, payable in specie, it cannot be
hard to guess how demogogues like Vallandlz
ham and the Illinois Aliens will improve npou
the suggestion. The progress or tue canvass in
Ohio bus already rendered itobvioustliat ttieae
cession of the Democrats to power would Insure
a virtual If not an unequivocal repudiation of
the national debt.
They will not be thus exalted, and the debt
Will not be squarely repudiated; yet there is
danger of a more insidious, wriggling, cowardly
misdealing with the national creditors. Men
who should be ashamed of it do not hesitate to
call for the repeal or abatement of taxes, as
though the debt would ffomehow pay Itself, and
softly suggest that the nation's creditors might
better assent to this, or aosept that, than tempt
the hazard of faring worse. But, should the
people prove too knavish to pay them in full,
they will not be paid at all. We shall not pro
claim ourselves a nation of rascals to save five
per cent, or twenty per cent, of the debt; if we
repudiate at all, we shall cheat them out of the
Whole.
But there are those who softly whisper. "The
Interest is too high lor a state of peace; may it
not be reduced?" Certainly, I answer, so soon
as men can be found who will lend us at lower
rates; but to this end it U imperative that we
maintain our faith unbroken. Our "Five twen-
ties" will soon be falling due that is. the Trea
sury has the option of paying them after they
shall have run live years, aud that term is
already nearly out for a part of them. Let
it be assumed that we shall never repudiate.
1 and these may be converted at maturity into
a non-taxable five per cent, having twenty or
thirty years to run: and the saving of lnlereta
thus effected would serve to pay off the princi
pal of the debt lu two or three generations
But there can be no saving, no abatement,
without the sternest integrity la oar dealings
with our creditors. Were it ahHolulely certain
that we should always be honest and solvent.
we might in time borrow, as Great Britain
does, at less thsu four per cent .; wiille. if W6

Miraculous Healing , a French Xonave.
p A nKW SENSATION IN TARTS.
According to the Paris roireopondtnt of Ihe
London Wor, there is a Zouave lu Paris whoxe
kiMsoi healing rival those or Dr. Newton, who
was much talked ol in New York seme time ago.
The .Vur's cotrc&poiiderit mij:
' The preut tiowlty oi tbe day, and the subject
of all cenvercaUon, U the niirncilous gift of
healing po.-ttpssed by a Zouave of the name of
Jacob, who, by the mere exercise of his will,
perlorais daily the moit extf aordir.sry cnrc on
j'ltraljzrd peii-ons who lor ears linre breu un
able to move without a?piance. The Zouave
receives i:o pawiipnt for the bocn lie confers, he
Is fei (eetly t.iiDMiinltipr In .manner, and does
not attempt to explain by what means he ac-
(mi l'bhes the t tires he umlotibtedl? eileoln.
His repiment Is quartered at Versailles, but
in consequence of tbe difficulty the poor
cxpciiraced In reaching tbe only portion
oi mist pnrricK in which he was al
loyed to receive hi patients, the Count do
( huteauvlliald, hini-olf a paralytic, oflVred him
the use of several room In bis hotel, where
Zouave Jacob dally administers relief to thou
Knnds who flock from all part. The Count pub
lishes in Lx J'eWe J'retue a plain statement ot
his own experience in the tilicacy ol Jicob's
influence, lie drove in his carrinee accotupa
nied by hU vile, 1 the manufactory ot M. Du
Noyet, where Jacob was engaged with several
poor and disabled patients. The Count, who
bad been paralysed lor years, was supported by
his lootnian and a workman, who ooliginuly
1' tit him his arm from his carriage to the gj ie
whvro he was alio rPd to take a place Id the c r
cle ot the sick surioiiniliutr Jacon.
"Persous wire beiue tinnsporie.1 on litters or
crrr.ed in men's arms to his presence, many
bonp so utterly helpless as to be unnble to bit
uptight, and only able to supnort themselves by
leaning apainst each other. As soon as the
room was full, Jaeob entered and aid, 'Let no
one epeak unlit 1 que-tion him, or I shall eo
nway.' Peiiect silence ensued. The Zojave
then went from one sick peison to uothcr,
telling each exactly the disease from whlcb he
or she wua MifJerii.g. Then to the pralytics he
simply said nee.' The Count, being of the
number, prose, and that without the slightest
difliculty. Iu atout twenty minutes Jacob di
nis?ed the crowd. M. de Chate luvtliaid walked
to his carriage without the slightest difficulty,
and when his wife wished to express her grati
tude to Jacob, he replied that he had no time t j
listen, for he had other patients to attend to.
Medical men are themselves taken by surprise,
but the Iscta are not coutradicled."
In a liter letter the same writer savs:
"The 'Zouave GucrWeur' is decidedly tbel'ou
ofthe day. The Importance attached by the
public, as well ns by the press, to the soi-'disant
cures operated by this private affords a striding
Indication of the temper ol the public appetUe
in this country lowris sup rnatural ucency.
France is a Catholic nation, and cannot do with
out miracles. To many the lean accomplished
by the said Zouave appear as a delusive iarce
and extravagancy of superstition; but to many
more 1 am assured it is a erious, all-absorb 'ng
faith. Scores of people in Paris, as well as Ver
sailles, are actuallv made crazy bv the miracles
operated by Monsieur le Zouave. He has created
ihe erreatei-t curiosity, and hundreds of men and
women of character and ability now seek oppor
tunities to wituesa and investigate the phe
nomena produced by Jacob, le Zouave.
"If this Jacob is a more impostor, which
many persons broadly assert, It is nevertheless
confessed by careful and candid Invcctigators
that he is most successful in concealing his
imposture. The fact is that Jacob, disdaining
the former manifestations of spiritualism, wh ch
merely consisted in rocsinp, lilting, rappinsr, or
tapping, has bad the eood sense to turn bis
mind towards things of ordinary aDd tangible
utility. He does not pre repel to introduce you
toSocra'.es and Solomon, to put you In commu
nication witn Voltaire or Alfred de Musset, and
off er to describe to you the scenery of the plauet
Jupiter or the star Aldcbarau; but he, more
practical and matter of fact, undertakes to rid
ycu ot rheumatism, gout, amaurosis, palsy, etc.
For startling effects, the phenomena which he
produces are worthy ol the age of Michael
Scott."

Egos by Weight. A dozen of eggs ia a little
more definite quantity than a dozen of pota
toes, but still a very indefinite quantity. A
dozen of eggs from little, scrawny, ill-kept
chickens sell for the same price as a dozen
from large, well-kept fowls, while the differ
ence between them ia as great as the disparity
between the hens that produce them. Pur
chasers in the market take their chanoes for
big and little, and each gets a fair average.
But it is not so with producers, and here is
where the justice occurs. The man who raises
choice fowls, and keeps them in good condi
tion, sells large, rich eggs 'for the same price
per dozen that is paid for others one-third
smaller. This operates as a discouragement
to raising good hens, and as a premium on
poor ones. - - , -
A writer In the Canada Farmer insists that
eggs should be sold by the pound as well as
meat and butter, and gives thwjdifference in the
average weight of a dozen eggs from different
breeds of fowls, as follows:
Commou fowls. . ..; l lb. 0 oz.
Hpanish ... ..l lb. on.
Grey Dorking lib. 10 oz.
Grey Dorking and Brahma...... I lb. 14 oz.
Grey Iiork lug aud Cochin 1 lb. 10' oz.
These are the differences in the average
weight from different breeds. Should we
compare the poorest specimens of the poorest
breeds with the best specimens of the best,
we would find a difference of fully one-half,
and yet all are sold at the same price. We
buy and sell nothing at bo loose an adjustment
of quantity to price as eggs, except when we
buy wood by the load. Even apples and
peaches, when sold by number, have the prioe
adjusted to the size. But big or little, an egg
is an egg.
It takes 130,000 bushels of oysters to
supply the city of London annually.
The sales of wheat in Toledo for three
days, recently, exoeeded 100,000 bushels.

"Umbrellas Recovered Here" is the
equivocal announcement of a Brooklyn store
keeper. A joint-stock company in Australia pro
poses to boil down ten thousand sheep per
week into tallow. , . .
A Belgian paper reports that the evacua
tion of the fortress of Luxembourg continues
rapidly, aud that it was expected, at the time
of writing, that tbe last Prussian sollicr

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
Evils of Bad Literature. A yontli em
ployed as a milkman at Helper, in Derbyshire,
li'iigland, lias, without any apparent motive,
attempted to murder an old housekeeper,
under the influence of a long course of stories
about Dick Turpin and Jack Sheppani. This
is far from the first time that similar results
have followed from the same kind of reading.
CourvoMer attributedjhis assassination of Lord
William Russell to a state of morbid sympathy
wiiii crime inuucea py the perusal or the then
popular romance of "Jack Sheppard;" -and-the
annals of tbe police since hen furnish
many other instances. Mr. Ainsworth (who
of couise thought of writing nothing more
than amusing fictions) baa been unfortunate
in having popularized, and invested with a
Lalo of romance, two such scoundrels as Shep
pard and Turpin.
AnvF.itTiBiKo. A new art (says the Review)
has Istely rrisen in London, the streets are
now paved, not with gold, but with advertise
ments. The flowers of language now blossom
under our feet. Just as geologists read in the
various strata the evidences of plesiosauri and
megalotheria, so now we may read the evi
dences of barbers and photographers. Shake
speare saw sermons in stones, but we now see
advertisements in them. The stones, accord
ing to the fable, foMowed Orpheus; but now,
judging by the verses, Orpheus follows the
stones. Honor to whom honor is due. A
clown of Diury Lane is said to be the inventor
of this new method of advertising.
I!ei.ks ok the Past. Upon lifting one of the
flooring deals in an old house about to be
pulled clown and rebuilt at Linlithgow, S :ot
land, paintings of a remarkable kind were dis
covered on the upper side of the floor and
across the oaken joists. The names of "Lord
Hemirg," "I rle Demaz," "Lord Letoun,"
"Kile De Argyle," etc., have been found appa
rently in connection with their coats-of-arms.
The house, hose walls are above four feet in
thickness, is said to Lave been a great resort
of tbe nobility in the time of Queen Mary; and
tradition baa it that each nobleman sat
under Lis coat-of-arms before proceeding to
the palace.
English Coinaoe.in 18C6. In the year 18G6,
4,047,288 sovereigns were coined at the Mint in
London, and 2,058,776 half sovereigns, 914,700
florins, 4,9P,000 shillings, 5,140,080 sixpences,
4158 fourpences, 1,905,288 threepences, 4752
silver twopences, 7920 silver pence; also,
9,999,3G9 copper pence, 2,508,800 halfpence,
and 3,584,000 farthings. Altogether, there
fore, money was coined at the Mint in 1866 to
the amount of 5,076,076 in gold, 4113,410 in
silver and 50,024 in copper, or 5,020,716 in
all. Worn silver coin of the nominal value of
115,000 waa purchased from the Bank of
Lngland, for recoinage, and a loss of 15,648
was occasioned by ita recoinage.
Railavay Disasters. There is a cold-blooded
style atout the London Spectator's expecta
tions thus: "Th HoflAnn fnr ,.;u.n :
dents has again commenced, and will probably
laav, as usual, uu uw ena oi the autumn. EOur

10 iu our nanus, juries must give higher
damages in all cases of Injuries. Companies
then will soon find that it is cheaper in the
long run to keep up a proper staff of servants
and good rolling stock and permanent way
than to pay for compensation." "
Queer. The connection between church
musio arid soapsuds is not stated in the fol
lowing advertisement from an English paper:
"W acted, to live la Scotlaud, au uu.ier laun
