Clncloattl Times-Start rno decrease ot tbo public dobt in tho fiscal year that is to end in eight weeks will bo over 860,000,000. This will not be so great as in some former years, but it is faster than wo gener ally suppose. Fivo million of dollars a month is $106,000 a day, or $100 a minute. That is a pretty rapid rate at which to be extinguishing tho pub- no ueut, iu juu 01 me poepie wno are crying an the timo that our debt is growing less in an lmpercentlble wav. People who are in tho habit of croaii ing about our debt being something too great to bear will do woll to inquire about tbo debts of other nations. Take Italy, for instance, ner debt is over $2,000,000,000 or about three times as much per head as our own, Russia, who is apparently eager for war has a debt of $2,500,000,000. Great Britain, whoso population is but 35,000,000 against our 55,000,000. Las a debt of about four times as much per head as we have, and yet Great B itain is supposed to bo exceptionally well off. France, brilliant ana olastio Franco, whoso recovery from a terrible war, a fow years ago has been tho wonder of the world, is carrying a debt of $4,750,000,000, or fivo tiraea as much per head as our country it carry ing. Our debt is out $25 per head all around, that of Russia almost $40 per head, that of Italy neary $75 per head, that of Great Britian $100 apiece, and that of Franco about $130 per citizen. Tho interest charged on a debt of this sort is something enormous, more than the people can stand nndcr for any great length of time. Of our debt only u little over a bill ion bears interest, or to be exact $1, 196,150,350. Of this only as much as as 8200,000,000 bears as much as 4 per cent interest. It is interesting to see how much money remains in tho treasury unclaimed, after the interest has ceased to accrue. On some of this tho iuterost ceased half a century ago, while on large sums interest haa not accumulated for twenty years, and yet thn principlo has never been asked for. What do you suppose is the explana tion of tho delay in presenting theso bonds for payment, that havo been duo so long t" your correspondent ask ed of an official, running over tho cur ious list, which, by tho way, foots np several millions of dollars. "That's a mystery," ho answered, w'th a smilo. "I suppose, some of it has bi on lost or stolen, so mo of it burn ed ui, tome of it etuck away in fprgot en places, perhaps some ia held by peo ple who do not know that interest has ceased on it,or whodo not know that they tho bonds at all.

THE RECOLLECTION OK TIIE ONLY RE MAIN INO I'ASSENOEIC Of 'THE TRIAL TRIP. A correspondent writing from Exeter H. tl., gives tbo following interview with Mr, William Porry, the only aur vivor 01 tho btty passengers who sey enty-eight years ago, went down the Hudson river with Robert Fulton on the trial trip of, the first steamboat. Tho doctor, isiltincr, iu his pleasant chamber overlooking the centre of tbo beautiful littlo village, spoke of his famous trip with Robert Fulton. "The name of. the boat has been so often misquoted," ho said, "that even, many careful recorders have mentioned it as the Clermont. That, was not her full name. I remember it distinctly.; It waa llatberiuo ot .Clermont, given in nonor 01 r uuon b who, ivainenno i.iy cg8ton, of CIermont,Columbia county New York. Fulton, you know, had gone auroau to Hvuuy 111s proiossion as, a painter, but, having his attention turned to mechanics no brought back to New York an engine, and over that constructed the bull ol pis vessel, llo lacked the necessary money to com pleto his experiment and his wife's father.

Y., but waa not satis tied with the institution and so deter mined, to enter Harvard. On my way homo I arrived at Albany, and there, to my discomfort learned that I must endure a long delay, for nono of the river boats then in use were 'to start for several days. Jwent to tho tavern and engaged a room. But early tho next morning a mail hurried into, the bar room of the inn and annouueed : 'The steamboat arrived .last iilgbt and 3 goingi to start down itio river at 11(110 p clock.' I decided at once that 1 would be a passenger on tho strange craft, whatever it might be, Theie, was a, lady of Connecticut, uuder my ohargo on her way to -New York city, and when I told her that wu could tako tho new steamboat she expressed, her willingness to travol that way. But it took her so long to get ready that when wo reached the wharf tho .boat Was iiteamipg off, However,, tb,oy wero mora accommodating on that trip than they would bo now. The officers heard us call and, stopping the. ytusel, tent back a small bout to take us .011 board. Then wo wjjro off on our voy. uae.

"Beg pardon 1 I forgot it was bo long ago. "Well, tho owners Of tho sailing vessels, who previous to this bad had tho monopoly of thn river transportation, claimed that' tho right to navigate tho Hudson belonged to them nnd they secured an injunction restraining Fnlton from nsing his steamboat. But thoy couldn't hold their case, for Daniel Webster appear ed in behalf of tho steamer, mado his first great plea and won the case. That gave Mr. Webster a wide reputation. turwnrda Jbulton bad many lawsuits, for his patent, covering as it did only certain points relating to the attach ment of tho paddle-whocls to tho axlo of the crank, left a great opening for infringement. All his lifo he was light ing for his claims in that respect, al though ho and Livingston had tho monopoly ot steam tratno on tno waters of the Stato through a graut of tho Legislature. Fulton constructed not only tbo lirat practicable steamboat lor passengers and freight, but also, in lHM.tuo lirst war steamer ot tne world, tho United States steamer Fulton tho First. She suffered worso than tho Katherino of Clermont; for she waa blown to piecea by accident. Great Britain received her first practicable steamboat In 1812, fivo years after the trial trip of .buttons boat, but it waa not until 1819 that tho efficacy of the puffing craft for transportation between tno two countries was maao manliest. Then tho little, Savannah steamed across tho ocean,- making tho trip in twenty-six dava.

But they soon found out that they were mistaken. Tho Pcnnsylva ma itaiiroad uompany sends n train out ot Hew York, at u o'clock every morning'that beats the timo of tho ly ing Dutchman."'

House, or,- the Man? Divorces have boon, granted in our courts for many .queer reasons, but ono case decided last woei$ by a yestcni judge throws new light on tho matter of matrimony in Amerioan society. A young lady was engaged for thrco years to, a man in every way suitable to her, who was industrious, intelligent and faithfully attached to, her. She refused to niarrv him until ho could pro vido for her a home. At tbo end of three years the lovor declared that, tho house was ready,, Tho marriago took place; tho bride set oir in eager expect ation to her now establishment and was led to a couplo; of rooms in boarding-house, .oho protested that tvas not what sho married him for, brought suit for a divQrco aud got it 1 A nico legal question .might, havo been brought up hero, Ab the, lady bo openly married the house, and not the mau, how could sho bo divorced when (hero was no.houso for her to marry 1 Tho caso indeed, is, full of unpleas ant suggestions.

A young man arid woman of, let us say, SSjears havo tho eamo affections, energies, am bition nnd lovo of comfort, of pleasure, ol success. Tho man n dozon ways of gratifying theso appetites of his moral nature, llo can, if ho is able, follow a hujidfed path's tojfamo or wealth. The woman has but ono profession or trado open to bcr powers and aatlsiy tno needs of her peculiar nature. It is that of married life, and tho work which belongs to a homemistress, a wlfo and a mother. Of courso thousands of our women renders will cry out against this asser tion. Thoy aro doctors, lecturers, ionrnnllsts. artists, shop-women, hor ticulturists, spiritual mediums or paper-. bangers, nnd ovcry ono declares that her profession or trado ia sufficient for all her needs of mind nnd sonl. She deolarcB it in public. But there ia that in her own secret bouI which provca to bo a lie. From tho highest to tho lowest of women it 1b tho homo nnd hnsband and obild that fill the innermost recess of their hearts; not business, nor art, nor nmbition.
