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.

THE RECOLLECTION OK TIIE ONLY RE

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

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

"I was attending Union College at
Schenectady, "N. 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

would be a passenger on tho strange
craft, whatever it might be, Theie,

ohargo on her way to -New York city,
and when I told her that wu could tako

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.

for his patent, covering as it did only
certain points relating to the attach

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.

The. 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

of Newark. My husband wroto to him
and Mr, Heller called to seo me. This
was last Monday night. Ho asked me
if I believed God's promises and in tho
Bible, I 'said I did. Ho referred to a
passagu in St, James which says that if
we 11 ad taith the eidera ot tho church,
by tho annointing with oil, could heal
the sick. I told ,bim I had faith in
tho promises of tbo Bible. Ho then
annointed my bead with oil and kneel

tho invocation for relief. Ho thou left,
