somewhat from that of the Sonator
who has this bill in charge (Mr. Jiu
tan). I regard it as nooostinry that
oonntios having a population of 40,-
uuu inhabitants shall bo separate in
dicial distriot nnder the provisions of
section tivo, article Ave, of tho con
stitution, and that where A county
that is contiguous to such an an nnd
has less than 40,000 population it can
be attached to any oilier eounty with
less than 40,110 inhabitants. Wo can
not attach i( to a district having 40,-
000 inhabitants; or, in otber words,
that tbo necessity that is contemplat
ed in section five of the constitution
is ouch as to require tho addition of
that county to another connty of tbv
tamo character. 1 be constitution in
section five of article Qvo, provides
that, "w henever a county 6 hull con
" taiu 40,000 inhabitants it shall con
" atitute a separate judicial distriot,
" and shall elect one judgo learned in
" the law ; and tho general assembly
"shall provido for additional judges,
"as Iho businoss of tho eaid uisti'icls
" may require." , ,
-This clause is mandatory and com
pulsory. In connection with that J
read tbo noxt clnuso, which provides
that "counties conlainirij; a population
less than la sufficient to constitute
separate districts shall be formod into
convenient single district, or, tf noe
cusary, may bo attached to continu
ous districts, as Iho gouural asscmLly
may provide.
Now, as to a county that contains
Iups than 40,000 i nimbi Hints, which is
surrounded by counties that have 40,
000 or upwards, the neeossity contem
plated by the constitution exists. It
is nocessary to attach that county to
a contiguous district, which has 40,000
or more. Why? Itecnusa wo havo
no adjoining countio of its own class
to Rttnch it to; and tho constitution
did not intond to permit us to Isnp
over an adjoining county with 40,0(111
inhabitant:) and attach it to a aounlv
contning loss than thut number. Such
an arrangement would be anomalous.
llore are two mandatory provisions
of tbo constitution. One is that a
separate judicial district shall xist
wlioiover a county contnins lorty
thousand Inhabitants. Tho other is
that counties containing a noniilntinn
Ice than sufllcient to coofUitulo nscp
aruto district shall bo formed into a
convenient single district. Tboee, bo
in compulsory provisions, wo aro
bound toi'ollow tiiem, unless the neces
sity exists to do tho other thing that is
provided for. What .is tho other thing?
If neoessnry, counties contnininr a
poynlatlon less than sufficient to con
stitute a separate J-strict niny be at-
taoiicu to a contiguous district. What
is n contiguous district? It is not two
counties composed tit loss than forty
thousand inhabitants each ; but a eon-
liguons district ns contomnlntcd bv
this cIuubo and tho first clauso of soc
tion livo, artlulo five, of tho constitu
tion. WJiun you find a county situa

IiaWtants on ovory Hide of H, It bo
comes nocossarv to attitcli it to tho
adjoining or contiguous district. There
is no other eounty of its class to which
it can be attachod or with which it
can be kn.icj i.Oo a district. . That
county, therefuro, comes wjthin tho
provision of Mio (lonstilution that per
mils it lo b alt.if.liej to a cOnftguousj
NOT MEN.

dihtricl, nd we must annex it to
Prunltjtin, Cumberland or York, i and
thus comply with the constitution. :
.Tbo proposition that it oan bo mado
Into a soparaW district is contravened
by tbe proposition oot up in the (mo
und clauso,. which , provides that,
"counties containing a population loss
than sufficient to, constitute sopuruto
judicial districts slmll be formod into
convenient singlo districts, or, if noc
essary, nay be attached lo continue us
districts, as the general assombly may
provide. ; You cannot form them into
a district by taking a single county.
The Idoa Donluined in the first clause,
that uttcb county which shall contain
forty tbcohand inhabitants is lo be
soparaU judicial district overthrows
and denies our right to erect tlioso
with less into a soparato district, for
tbe assertion of tho affirmative neces
sarily implies the negative.
So that, I repeat, the mandatory
provisions of the constitution ia this
regard are, that counties having loss
than forty thousand inhabitants must
be unltod to form districts, tlioso that
havo more than forty thousand must
bo made separate districts, and where
counties having loss than forty thous
and ore so situated that they cannot
be joiued with one of the same class
they may be attached to counties that
buve more tban forty thousand inhab
itants. Mr. Tlayford Will tho Senator
permit mo to ask him a question ?
, Mr. Wallace Yes, sir.
Mr. 1'LAvroHD Do I understand
tbo Sonator to say that counties hav
less than 40,000 inhabitants cannot bo
formed into a single or soparato dis
triot ?
Mr. Wallace That is my interpre
tation of tbe constitution unqeslioiia
bly. If the proposition, contained in
the first clauso of this section of tbe
constitution, be good lor anything it
denies tbe rcsorre. Such is tbo plain
implication. Ilcontravonos tho pow
or to do tho rovoroo. Whonever a
county ahull contain 40,000 iubabi
itnnts it shall constitute a separate
judicial district bonovor it con
tains less it shall not. Tbat is the
converse of the proposition. Coun
tios containing population less than
sufficicot to constitute a scparuto dis
triot shull bo formed into convenlont
oeparuto districts. Tuke these clauses
togothor and you reacn tne conclu
sion that 1 havo reached.
But, it may be said that tho legisla
ture has power In its discretion, "if
nocessary, to make separate districts.
Tbo legislature bus discretion, but
that discretion must be exercised in
reference to the class of cases in which
discretion is given. Thore is no dis
cretion given in regard to counties
other tban those thnt are located as
Adams or Greone is located.
It socms to mo that, from that stand
point, it will bo nccossary to recast
this bill. If, on the contrary, the
viow of the .Senate bo (and, ol courso,
ovory ocootor has the right to con
slruo tho constitution for uimsclf)that
we may make districts of less than
forty thousand inhabitants, wo como
to the inovitublo result, that legisla
tive discretion is above tbo constitu
tion, and that these mundatory provi
sions In regard to tho formation of
soparato districts amount to nothing
Tbo legislature, under that reasoning,
has entire control over it and enn do
what it nleases. Thut inovitablv fol
lows. That is the logical result of
that proposition.
I row, however, to state my posi
tion in reference to Cumberland and
Perry counties moro particularly,
rather than to discuss tbo bill in its
entirety. Those counties aro attach
ed, when it is not nocossory to do' so.
rorry can oo attached to Juniata.
1 ho necessity provided for in the con-
stitutioh docs not exist, and CumUr-
lnnd must be a scparuto judicial dis
trict, bocause it is not noct'Bsury to at
tach Perry to it. If Adams was at
tached to Cumberland county the ne
cessity would exist and the bill bo
good. . Why? Because Adams can
not be attached to any other county
of its class. rUich is tho view I take
of this matter, und it seems to mo ii
tho question should ever bo tested in
tho courts as to the rightof tho judgo
to sit in a district Constituted like tbo
one now under consideration, it would
bo docidod. Tbo decision would bo
llmt our discretion bad bocn improp
erly exorcised, nnd upon a writ of
quo warranto ho would be oustod,
Wo have a discretion upon this sub-
joct in cortain cases. Tho class of
classes over which wo have discretion
is the class in which tho counties ol
Adams, of Orcono and of Lebanon is
included. Wo must attach tlicso lo
contiguous . districts, wliich moan
counties having moro tlion forty thous
and inhabitants. ,

Evorybody knows',' that''. money
makoO money, but it Is not evorybody
that pays attention to tho modus op
erandi by which this is brought about
and tbo practical consequonccs wliich
follow. -
Schoolboys aro taught tbo rulo of
compound interest, but nine Out of
ten or liiom loret an aooui it lor me
remainder of their lives. ', Yet this
prlncipul bus more to do with tho ac
cumulation of largo fortunes than any
other" eauso whutevor; and it bas
bearings on the increase of wealth
and on tbe ratio stylo of expenditure,
both porsonal and national, of which
the practical ' character ' cannot be
overrated. ,
Wo read in a papor a fow montliB
ago of the death of an omincnt Lon
don capitalist, who loft the enormous
fortune of three million sterling.
This old gentleman was over ninety
years of ago at his death, and it is
pretty evident that ho was a man of
quiot habits and moderate expendi
ture, letting hi if capital accumulate
from year to year by its own natural
forco. Now, it Is only when it has
boon in operution for a long scrios of
consecutive years that woseo what tho
forco of compound interest is. For
tho first fow years tbe augmentation
is almost imperceptible, but when once
tho powor of incresso has become do
velopod, it goes on at an augmenting
ratio, until the results nre almost in
credible Thore can be littlo doubt
that in tho case just mentioned, the
wealth accumulated after the natural
duration of life had been reached was
far more than all tho seventy years
previous.
If money can be invested at eight
per cent., und the interest roinvcstod
at the tamo rale, it will double itself
in five jcars. Allow ton years for
this to lake place, owing to loss of
time in reinvesting, and wo reach the
remarkable conclusion remarkable,
we mean, to those who havo not t hot'
about it that if a man can luy by
thousand dollars at one and twenty,
and let it aectitnululo at compound in
tercet, it will amount to the enormous
sum of thirty thovMna dollars, if ho
lives to tho nge of seventy, to sixty
thousand ut eighty, and to a hundred
and twenty thousand at ninety. Thi
is the secret of tho largo fortunes of
the great bankers and capitalists ot
Europe, whoso money goes on accu
mulating tor generations, nnd nog.
mcnts with prodigious rapidity after
thirty or blty years nave passed on
The process, howovcr, may be re
versed. A man wastes or spends a
thousand dollars needlessly by the
fimo ho is one or two and twenty.
What is the effect? If he lives till
sovonty be will be thirty thousand
dollars poorer for it ; or, we will say, ho
will have lostlhecbanceof being tliiity
thousand dollars better off than bo is.
Wo thou arrive at the general truth,
that .he younger a man is the more
valuable money is to him. Wo have
seen what a thousand dollars is to
man of twenty-one, vix : tho making
of a fortuno ; but a thousand dollars
to a man ot fifty would boot compar
atively small account.
Suppose a man begins lifo with eco
nomical habits, and by rigid self-denial
accumulates fire hundred pounds by
the limo bo is twenty five. That sum
will umount tp a competency by tho
time ho desires to bo lieo iron, the
cares of business, and ho can then
(and indcod for years before) have tho
pleasure ot laying out his money Irco
ly, and without foar, in gratifying bis
tastes or in doing good.
But if lie is inclinod lo gratify his
tastes whon 5'oung, to buy, wo will
say, expensivo furniture, or to minglo
lroely in society, so that ho novcr
savos at all until bo is tivo and for
ty, what good will five hundred
pounds do him then? It is, of course,
good in itself, but as tho foundulinn
of a competency it is utterly Inade
quate. It would only amount to two
thousand pounds at sixly-fivo, and not
lo a competency till lung after threo
score and ten. '
The points of the whole matter nre
thoiofore this I F.very dollars aved in
youth is worth thirty dollars in old
ago ; evory hundred dollars spent in
looiory or nncry beioro Qvo and twen
ty is simply Ibreo thousand dollars
thrown away of provision for the

The Trouble of a Coiifcreaeman'a family

' By' tbe by, speaking of returning
Congressman, julhcr a good story has
beon telegraphed of a new member
who aimed wltl. ins ianuiy consist
ingof a wife, fivs children, and nurse
Tbo ocouomiciil member of Con
cress packed his fumily in one hack
at 9 p. m., and 'drove to Wiltiards.
They had been car riding for many
nights and days, and were in conse
quence exceedingly fatigued. ' , .
Arriving at V illiard's they paid the
hackmsn, ordered their trunks off,
and trndged wearily, balf asleep, into
tbat lamous caravansary, ino nus-
band, wife and four ohildreu were os
cortcd into tbo supper room, after
which, clcvatod by the coffco and the
elevator, they wero carried beyond
tho jurisdiction of tho Bourd of Public
Works to rooms unaor root. nen
Iho good lady entored her bedroom
she encountered tbe nurse, and both
exclaimed:
' W bore's Bobby ?"
"Why, miss," said ths nurso, "I
thought you had him."
"Kancy," screamed the Mrs. M. C,
"didn't you fetch him in ?
'No, mum ; I had tho three carpet
sacks, tho cloaks, baby's clothes, and I
thought you had him."
Now Bobby was the baby, and the
frightful discovery was made thut the
lady hud been led in the buck.
Thero was a frantio rush for the ele
vator and tho stairs. The insano M.
C. tried to burst open tho door so as
to precipitate himself down the well.
lie then pulled away al the boll until
ho broko it; then shouting "Fire!"
rushed down after his wilo and four
cbildron, who by this time wero in
tho clerk's office trying to mnko the
corpulent and amiablo Mr. liagicy un
derstand tho horrible situation.
Some suggested the telegraph, and
all tho police stations wero advised ol
tins loss ot Congressional tnl.incy.
But the worst purl of it was that the
crazy representative could not remem
ber the number of the back, and tho
hack are not remarkable for their
ready rot urn of lost parcels.
In tbe moan time the unhappy hus
bund made a short excursion into tbe
neighborhood. II o hurried through
the hacks on tbo back stands and hud
all the retired convicts who drive
tlioso vehicles volunteer to go and
search for the lost child for two and a
balf hours. Kuch ono was roady to
make uffidavit tbat he knew Iho hack,
and ono driver, who ought to have
boon huug long ago, swore that be
heard the chid cry as the hack drove
by. from tho hack stand the hus
band hurried to Newspaper Row and
stirred up the lioliemisns to the high
est pitch nf excitement by his tale of
woe. The corpulotit Itamsdell eat
down and wept: Adams blow his nose,
while Ifoynton philosophically re
marked that tbe loss of a baby was
somobody s gain, and 1'rcsion added
that it was a loss easily repaired j and
so ths night wore on.
What became of that Luck, w ith the
precious little burdon, is the most in
lorcsling part of tho narrative. , It
acorn that our old friend Z.ucli (.'hand
lor, tbo Micliiganiler, who goes moon
ing about ut till sorts of late hours,
found himself on Four and a half it root
in such a stato of abscnlmindedncss
that he eouldn't tell where ho wasjor
where ho ought to bo. In these em
orgencjos bo instinctively calls a hack
All tho hack men in town know the
great Michigundur, and entirely re
gardless of what ho orders or says,
they invariably drive him homo, stop
ping at all tbo samplo rooms and bars
on tho way. Vn this occasion he
halted a hack, and gelling iu said as
ho did so ;
"Takemo'omcdamnyou 1"
Sitting down on tbo back scat, bo
was startled by a wild cry thut almost
soborcd liiin. This will sound like
exaggeration, but it's a fact. It came
very near being a cuso of spoilod child,
for old Zach had hinged two hundred
pounds of Senatorial boof and whisky
on tho lost child of tho lower House.
lio stsrled np with suuh violence thai
his head struck the lop of the hack,
nearly bouncing tbo driver off bis seat,
moro, howovcr, with astonishment
thun jolt.
Old Zach resolved himself into an
investigating couimittoo, and, silling
down on the front seat, full around.
Ho gathered up the child, and for a
minute sal turning tho situation over
in his gigantio intellect, then, slicking
hi head out tho window, he shouted
with th h J, voice which hud made tbe
British liort tremble:
"Driver, go'omoqniek I'vc-cot-a
baby."
As tho Infant continued its scream
ing tho driver had no doubt as to the
truth of this startling revolution, and
so tore along the struct at frightful
rate; considering that his lenin con
sisted of ono vicious kicker and a run
away. J'uljing up at the palatial
mansion, the groat Michigandur tum
bled out and rushed in with tho child
n his arms, i'rosenting it to the as
tonished Mis. Chandler, lio said :

The good old lady did notrocoive the

tbat stream is about two hundred
yards in width, and even At this sea
son of the year, whon the water is

and deep stream to ciws. LastThurs

on horse back through that section,
came to tbo river, and hesitated about
attempting to ford Jt, as be ssw the

There is no bridgo anywhere along

cluded to swim bis horse across.
Spying a email boy fishing in a small

"Hollo, Bub!"
"Hello, yourself !"
"Can I get yon to take my clothes

I rekin you kin, if you've got any

"All right; I'll give yon a quartor

To this tho boy nodded assent, the

mankind that apples ar tho proper

this observer, who obviously investi

phosphorus, or brain sustcnanco, than
any other member of tho vegetable

for crediting this, and ground not
