LEIlIUIlTON.rA.! 8ATXJEDAT, OCTOBER 10, 18SS. Entered at the Leliighton perst-office as Second CUu Mail Matter. The decreaso in the public debt for September is stated at 812,757,065. This amount was reduced, however, bv payments of about $7,500,000 2nd Inst, on account of interest due on bonds. As two out of twenty-two Frcsldents have been assassinated, or about 10 per cent, the risk in life insurance is extra hazardous. It Is said that Arthur had a policy of $10,000 on entering the office of Vice-President, and that after be coming President ho obtained a second for the same amount. Five thousand dollars were lost on Lincoln and twelve cn OarCeld. Cleveland had policies for 810,000, all issued before his election, and a month ago application was made for $10,000 more This will be granted at ordinary rates. The difficulty In the way of settling the latest Eastern question is sold to be the claims of Greeco and Servla. The Sultan has no efficient army to entorce his nominal suzerainty over Itoumella, and lie is disposed to accept the facts that have been accomplished. But both Servla and Greeco have taken advantage of the trouble to attempt making an ad dition to their territory, Greece wishing to annex Crete. The Insistence on their claims by these Governments keeps the whole question, open, and the difficulty of securing concerted action by the Powers does not lessen. When the U. S. Senate meets there will be a list of between five hundred and six hundred postmasters appointed during the recess submitted for confirm ation. In addition it Is estimated that during the session of Congress the terms of at least six hundred postmasters will expire, so that the nominations of over one thousand postmasters will come be fore the Senate during the next session There are 2,335 Presidential postmasters in this country and at the rate that has been observed duringthe last six months all the residential postmasters will bo changed In two years. It Is said that an entirely new Board of Civil Service Commissioners will soon be appointed by the President. Mr. Eaton Is known to have resigned, Dr, Gregory Is said to have followed his ex ample, and It is thought that Mr. Tho man will also ask to be relieved. This places on Mr. Cleveland the rcsponsi bllity of appointing Commissioners who will bo in thorough sympathy with his pledges of cxccutlnj tho law, and fully competent for the work to be done. It is mentioned as a strange, thing that there are no applicants for these posi tions, though certain men have been suggested to tho President as suitable candidates. United States army recruiting offi- cois now argue that the road to wealth, or at least to competence.lies in a march of thirty years with the soldiers. "You are a single man of nineteen," said one inquirer; "suppose you enlist now, You will lead a healthy, easy, respecta- ble life, with no anxiety as to mainten ance; you will draw pay surely and! regularly, and out of it you can, with pjrfcct comfoit, save fifty dollars a year. l'ut that on interest, and at fifty years of age, adding the sum allowed by the Government to men who retire afler thirty years' service, you will have e lough to live on the rest of your life In idleness." The Schuylkill county Democratic Convention which met at roltsTille Monday nominated for Sheriff, Bernard .1. Dufly.pf Shenandoah; Poor Director, W. W. Brown, of Washington; Jury Commissioner, William W, Stevenson, of Pottsvillo. A resolution was adopted calling on the President to give car to the wishes of the people In making ap pointments, instead of carrying out the personal wishes of a delegate to a na tlonal convention. Tho platform in tjojses H;e platforms of Chicago and Harrisburg and t))e administrations of Cleveland and Pattlson, Quay Is de nounced, Day praised and Congressman Brumm scored for opposing the Regan antl -discrimination bill, , u. a I.qnp Ronald Gowek says that Americans have little of that "disgust; ing patronage of manner that prevails in England among tho richer classes," and none of the "no less disgusting crlnglness that as greatly distinguishes English merchants." On the contrary, tho New York shopkeeper receives you with civility, but without any of that manner which seems to Lord Ronald little less Insulting than actual Insolence, lie will be equally civil if you purchase pr if you do not; but if yon affect to look down on him as being "only a tradesman," be will probably show you, says this tourist, "something more In being a citizen of a, great republic than mere sound, and might be able to prove to you that one man is as good as an other." Sir Henry Thompson an Engltsh physicians who understand the thing say that all enteric fevers, such as ty phus, cholera, and the Oriental plague itself, are due to positive pollution In the air and water. Historiographers of disease tell us that the cholera comes from the mouth of the Ganges, the yel tow fever from, the raputh of tbe Missis sippi, and the plague from tho month qf the Nile. Now the Mediteraneaa is an obvious focus and hotbed o( enteric poison, and has been so ever since tbe days of the Athenian plague, which Thueydldes chronicled. Its titleless waters accumulate unspeakable filth and i . m. ... garoage. ine present cholera com menced and found 1U chief scat In Mar ietta, which Is, ptrhipe, the most pes tilential poit in the world.. The Government that puts cut a ill - er dollar that Is worth but eighty-two cents, ought to take somo legitimate measure toward improving tne value of Its metallic currency before attempting 1 to force It into circulation among i,,' people. To compel the Issuance of two millions of these f lghiy-two cent dollars Ihesef lghty-two cent dollars i by statute, must have been , . . . . of their dcter.oratlnn in every month self-evident j''.jiaa''aBMa commercial value, and til attempts ot the flnanclal ministers of the Govern- merit to enhance their value by calling in me 01113 ot inau denominations, win prove abortive In the faceof a determln- alion among businessmen to reject a ,... ,i, . ..,.,, i.M declares is not a currency. To say that - M J 11 til 1 1 - - I silver dollar will buy as much mer ehandise as a gold one, Is an argument that can be much better advanced to-day than It can two or three veara hence. when the accumulation of these ques tionable dollars will very materially change the relations between trade and finance. FROM WASHINGTON From our Regular Correspondent. Wabhinoton, D. C, Oct. 8, '85. Tho dissipation of the day Is the set tling of new-comers and transients under suitable roof protection. Tho matter Is of exciting Interest to everybody here, and each item of progress is eagerly sought and immediately chronicled. The house business is secondary only to government affairs, arising, as It docs, out of national necessities; and It is al ways a matter of general rejoicing when anybody permanently commits himself to our staple population by purchasing a house At the cabinet' meeting yesterday the question whether the President and his Cabinet should attend the Virginia State Fair, to be held at Richmond on the 22nd of October, was, It Is understood, decided in the negative. The subject of the vacancies in the Civil Service Com mission also came up for consideration, but no decision was arrived at, and it is probable that the gentlemen now holding those positions will be allowed to conduct the business of tho office un til the President has time to appoint their successors. The vacancy at the head of the Coast Survey was also con. sidered, but no conclusion reached. The coming season in Washington promises to bo one of tho liveliest in our history, and every indication points to an Immense throng hero for the winter. Real estato men say there has never been such a demand for houses and rooms, and tho few Republican families who will not come back on account of the change in the Administration will bo counterbalanced by the thousands of Democratic families from the South and West. At the time Cleveland was elected It was thought that the change of Administration would make a great reduction in the prices of real estate In Washington. On the contrary, prices have gone up. there is as much building now as ever and the city Is growing in all directions. The White House remains undis turbed as to preparations for the arrival of its mistress. The President has at tended to much business of Importance during the week, keeping his secretaries fully occupied. Assistant Secretary Prudcri, who was with Mr. Arthur, says he never was so busy In his life as he is at present. But with all his industry In purely business details, the President does not forget to please the people from all over tho country, visitors at the Capital, and to that end he holds an In formal levee twice a woek, to which all may come and shake hands with the President and retire with their souls satisfied. Vice-President and Mrs. Hendricks arrival at Willard's Hotel, from Indian apolis, tho first of tho week, and Mr. Hendricks paid his respects to the President early on Monday morning. The Vice-Presidential couple have been remarkably benefited by their summer vacation. The unstinted adulations of tne rural populations at wayside railroad stations in Wisconsin anil Indiana have proved a marvelous tonic to Mr. Hen dricks. He seems to have gained In width of shoulders about one-third, and his smoothly shaven face is as round as a button, and he's got a new hat, too a silk one. The special delivery went into opera tion yesieruay. i Hiring ine nay between ninety and one hundred letters passed through tho messengers' hands, t,o that tho earnings were less than $S for twenty-six boys and six bicycles. Tho first trip that ono lad made was to Howard University. Not havlne a bicvele he had to walk, and when he returned he remarked that ho thought ho had earned his eight cents. There were a few of the letters from outside, but most of them were from neonlo In the District to do delivered within tho city OUR SOUTHM BUDGET Fkoji our Special Correspondent. Southern Pines, N.C., Oct. 2, The Southern hunter Is now In his glory. Wild turkeys are getting to be fat and juicy. Deer are browsing around In the swamps and lowlands. Rabbits are hunting after hunters to hunt them. Bob Whites, .or partridges, as they are incorrectly called down here, are to be found In all tho old fields and stubble lands. Possums are getting plump, and the romid-faced.darkcy grins all over as he thinks of roasted .possum. Tho lakes are beginning to bo attractive to wild ducK, and pretty soon we shall bo able to offer the sportsman a glorious field of operation. COLONIZE, JIT ALL SIEANS While there Is no danger whatever but that a single family from the North or tho East will succeed by settlingalone In our State, yet there are very cogent reasons why we believe that the true way to succeed Is by colonizing. A few families that are thoroughly acquainted, If they work In harmony are positively certain of success, The lady members of the colony do not get lonesome. Tim weaker ones are cheered by the stronger. There Is a combination and a consequent strength in this way of settling in a new country. Such a settlement of people would secure at onoe good educational faclll tics, and such church privileges as they can agreo upon A community or colony such as we refer to would donbtless seek a common market, even in tbe cities ol the North and East. Suohaclioa would, if care were taken, establish a reputation for their products that would cozamand for them the very highest market prices, An Illustration of this can bo seen in the price that "gilt-edge" butter always brings. The preserved and canned goods of the Oneida Coramunlty.of N. Y and the goods put up by the Shakers are other illustrations of the value of estab lishing a reputation for producing only the very best. iortunes await such colonies In every ' Part of North Carolina.

People are very much tho same wher ever we find them. A man who doesn't succeed in making friends In tho North won't make friends in the south, it takes the same qualities to make a valu able citizen of North Carolina that it does in Massachusetts. LITTLE BUDGETS. As one passes along the forest-bordered roads of North Carolina and sees rank upon rank of magnificent trees he wonders If such vast stores of lumber can ever be exhausted. He goes on a little farther, hears the buzz of a saw, a fire flames up, a pungent sraoko tingles In his nostrils and the answer is at hand. Millions of feet of lumber,in these great piles of slabs, are annually wasted,puffed away In a cloud of black smoke. It Is no poetry, but plain, prosy truth to say that there are ships In the air, houses In the clouds and neat little henneries on every breeze. Why this waste? Why not saw these thick slabs Into laths. The time will come, and that too before very long, when this forest wealth will not be such an embarassment of riches as it is now. Unless something is done to prevent this destruction, North Caro lina win one day nave occasion to mourn a glory departed. Southern Iron is the great nlght-mare ot the iron-mongers of Pennsylvania. Iron in the South can be manufactured at eight dollars a ton less than It can be manufactured anywhere in tho .Worth, The result is Inevitable. If you are in search of a new sensa tion, try an unripe persimmon. It will make you wonder what persimmons are tor. BroaAKsM York Letter. Special to the CAitnoN Advocate. The colossal fortunes which the last few years have built up are fostering an extravaganco which Is fast destroying whatever little Republicanism, or Demo cracycall It which you please still remains to distinguish us from tho effete monarchies of the Old World. There Is an aping after aristocratic ways and manners, with much of the imported tomfoolery which is disgusting to sen siblc men, and bodes but Illy for the fu ture of our Republic. No ono expects a millionaire to live like a hod-carrier; it Is fitting that a man of means should live liberally, and give his money a chance. I have little respect for a rich man vho pinches, and screws, and grinds down his fellow man to the Jast cent, for tho sake of hoarding away money which somebody who doesn't care .1 rap for him will scatter to the winds. I was taking a walk through Pino street the other day, and taw a sicn out "Auction of Turkish Rugs to morrow." Being of an inquiring turn of mind, and thinking that the proprie tor might mistake me for a bloated bondholder, I stepped up to tho clerk with the air of a bank cashier about to skip for Canada, and said, "Young fel low, how much do you ask for this?" and I took hold of a rug by the corner as if It was my usual habit to buy flyeor six a day. "That's a cheap one," said the daisy salesman,looking at nib super ciliously, "cheap but good; you can have that before the sale for ono hun dred and eighty dollars. When the sale opens the lowest bid we will take is two hundred, and don't you forget it." I had been jingling six standard dollars In my pocket, thinking that I might carry home one of these prizes, hoping they might inspire me when I wrote about Turkey, but this information took away my breath. "What is tho price of this?" I said meekly, "how much a yard?" "Wo don't sell them by tho yard," ho answered. "Oh, you sell them so much a rug, then? " I asked. "No, we don't," he answered. "Well, how do you sell them, then?" "We sell them by the square foot." "How much a foot is this?" I inquired. "Three dollars and a half," he answered with as much waiif froid as If he was selling ingrains nt tit t y cents a hale. Think of it, thirty-one dollars and a half a yard for a rug! The rug was nine by twelve; that Is to say there were twelve yards in It, and the cost was $378. It lakes be tween thirty and forty vards of carpet for a very ordinary bedroom, and sup pose that some paper-headed dude should take a fancy to cover his floor w ith Turkish rugs, it would take $1,500 to foot tho bill about enough to furnish an entire house splendidly forty or fifty years ago. I stepped Into Solomon's, In Union Square, the other day. This is the house that furnishes line tapestries hangings and furniture covers for the creme ife la crane, liorgeous, indeed are the beautiful stuffs that surround you on every slde deft imitations of those Gobelins that adorn the palaces of kings. I was afraid to prico things there, because they were wares that did not concern a poor man, and they were away beyond the reach of persons ordi narily rich. Twenty, twenty-five and thirty dollars a yard were not deemed by any means extravagant, ana plenty of hanclncs were there worth many times their weight in gold. Tho difference be tween tho Turkish rugs and the goods at Solomon's, was: bolomon's goods were costly they were beautiful; genius of the highest and noblest type wrought tlioso wondrous designs with matchless skill, and if a man could not own them he was elevated and bettered for having seen tnem. mil the Turkish rugs were auii ana stupid mo very pest ot them reflected a semi-barbarous taste; It Is the same taste that finds its greatest gratification In the diseased liver of a goose, and which can never enjoy its venison till It has reached the stage of primary decay. A leading paper contains a list of in dividuals who were monomaniacs on the subject of Japanese curios, and the sums Invested varied for tbe adornment of Bincle rooms from 85.000 to 8150.000. This reminds me that one day I was In an old curiosity store, where all sorts ot ancient ana curious things are sold An old lady came in with a saucer; it was an ancient affair, and looked to my unsophisticated eyes jnst like such u saucer as you might expect to find in any second-hand asn carrel, 'the old lady wanted a enp to match it. The seller of curiosities declared it could not be done, as the original set was manu- lacturca lor tne emperor ol itiusia, and when Napoleon sacked Moscow he se cured this set; on the downfall of Na- PMeon, the set was divided, the King of rusbla getting oni cup and saucer, the Emperor of Austria another, the King ot iMigianu one, tne uritisn .Museum one, one to Florence, one to Rome, and so on, till all but one cup and saucer was accounted ior. xoe oia laay lis tened with open ears, eyes and moutb. and when he told him she must hae a cup, he nromlsad to try. Three weeks later the old lady called again and the result was that bo sold her an old cracked cup, pot worth a cent, for one hundred ' nivi iw. i 1 13111 dollar.. ne .iKCd miimuiMmiiumiMiM Kjujmi off triumphantly with her prize, and I dare say, to-day, would not part with It tor a inousana. A maguinccnt lUUstra tion of that trite old adage, "Fools and I their monev are aoon natted ." An old gentleman has been busily cngigcd for1 many years tn malting a colle-'.uon ot fenders; he has about eight hundred of different patterns and esteems himself the luckiest man In New York, because 1 1 j. '.11. ... no other person has as fine a collection as himself, and If he should die to-mor- row the chances are ten to one that the whole lot might find Its way to a junk shop. I dropped Into Castle Garden to see how the Immigrants were cared for by ourDenevoient.migraniL.ommissioners Warnings were everywhere, in high Dutch and low Dutch, Danish, Finnish. Swedish, Russian, Italian, German. Hungarian, Polish and English. It warned emigrants against purchasing anything outside the Garden, and as sured them that the prices of all kinds of food were fixed by tho Commissioners of Emigration; and, If they were, the Commissioners of Emigration are the most magnificent set of swindlers to be found In New York, or anywhere else, A two-pound can of corned beef costs at tho stores, twenty cents, at retail, and as these men buy It considerably less, yet they charge tho poor emigrant thirty cents a pound for corned beef that costs them eight, and forty cents for ham that costs them ten or twelve; sixteen cents for a loaf of bread that they could buy outside the Garden for one-half. Every thing is farmed out and the poor cmi rant is squeezed to death by the plun erers. The Jesse Hoyt will case drags Its slow length along, ana the hungry law yers are fast consuming the Hl-gottcn estate. It actually seems as If the curse of tho Almighty rested upon the ill-gotten gold of most of our dead and dying millionaires. Vanderbllt, after piling up a hundred minions, is hardly laid in bis coffin before his children are tearing cacn other to pieces for his cold, and the horriblo skeleton behind the door Is exhibited to the public gaze. Garrison Stewart, Dan Drew, Jesse Hoyt all their accumulations piled mountains high seem to have a curse resting upon them which will nut pass away. It Is a shocking revelation in the Hoyt will case. The dauahter curecs her old father on his death-bed, and he in re venge thrusts her Into a mad-house. The heiress of millions Is dragged shriek ing tnrougn tne streets oy a policeman like a drunken tramp, and is only saved from disgraceful Imprisonment by the intervention of Influential friends. The representative of one ot our oldest, rich est and most respectable families Is a wild and reckless drunkard, and hides his weakness In the seclusion of his magnificent yacht, where for weeks at a time he lies drunk as a Lord No, no, my young friend! Money is a good thing to have, but it Is not every thing. It will not give you health, "It will not bring you content, and It has the faculty of getting out of the way at the very moment you need it most. If you doubt it come to New York. I will take you to houses rich in everything but tho peace of. mind which tho poor nou-carrier enjoys when after his hard day's work he stretches himself on a bare floor and sinks Into tho sweet sound sleep that money cannot buy.
