Interesting: Questions and Answers rela
tive to the IT. S. 7-30 Loan.
Mr. Jay Cooke, of Philadelphia, who
for so long a time had the management of
the popular 500 million 5.20 Loan, has
just been appointed by Secretary Fesseu-
uen, tner ucueral agent to dispose of the
only popular Loan now offered for sale by
the Government, viz.: the "SEYEN-
TUIUTY."
Iu entering upon his duties he desires
to answer plainly the large number of
questions daily and hourly propounded to
him, so that his fellow-countrymen may
all understand, what this "Seven-Thirty
Loan" is what are its ucculiar merits.
J how they can subscribe For or obtain the
notes, Arc.
ls Question. Why is this Loan called
the "Seven-Thirty" Loan ?
Answer. It bears Interest, in curren
cy, at the rate of Seven Dollars aud thir
ty cents, each year, on dYery hundred dol
lars ; making the interest as follows :

National and other Banks, and all
Bankers and Brokers.
od Question. "When is the interest
payable and how can it be collected '
Answer. The Coupons or Interest Tick-
ets arc due 15th of Fehnmrv fliul ism, nf
August in each year, and can be cut off
from thc note, and will be cashed by any
Sub-Treasurer, U. S. Depository, Nation
al or other Bank or Banker.
llh Question. When must tho Gov
ernment pay off these 7.30s ?
Answer. They are due in two years
and a half from the 15th of February,
18(55"; via.: on the 15th of August, 18G7.

per cent, premium. If they are worth

than they now are, this premium added
to the interest vou receive, will ivc vou
t least 10 per cent, per annum for your
monc' but the opinion is they will be
be worth more than 9 per cent, premium
at that time.
7ih Question. What other advantage is
there in investing in the 7-80 Loan 't
nswer. It cauuot be taxed by Slates,
Counties or Cities, and this adds from one
to three per cent, per annum to the net
income of the holder, according to the
rate of taxation in various localities. All
bonds and stocks, except those of thc U-
nited States, and all mortgages, &c., are
taxed, not only by the Government, but
by States. Counties and Cities.
Sth Question. How does the Govern
ment raise the money to pay the interest,
and is it safe and sure ?
Ansicer. The Government collects, by
taxes, internal revenue, and duties on im
ports, lully three hundred millions each

as is needed to pay the interest on all the
debt, and as soon as the war is ended, the
amount not needed to pay the interest will
be used in paying off the debt. Our Gov:
eminent has twice 'paid qJ U its debt,
and can easily do so again. The interest
is sure to be paid promptly, and the debt
itself is the safest investment iu the world.
It is as safe as a mortgage on a good farm
and pays a better interest. It is, in fact,

tics are there, and now mucii remains

Ansicer. There are only about three
hundred and twenty-five millions author
ized by law, and only about one hundred
and ninety millions remain unsold.
10th Question. How long will it take
you to sell the balance ?
'Answer. There are about 800 National
Banks all engaged in selling them ; also
a large number of the old banks, aud at
least three thousand private bankers and
brokers, and special agents will be engaged
jn .d parts 0f the country in disposing of
ti1Gni t0 the people.
-11,7, Question. How long will it
take
to eii ti10 whole?
Ansicer. In less than three months
they will be all sold, and will no doubt
tlmn sell at a premium, as was' the case
with thc old Seven-Thirties, the first
Twenty-Year Loan, and the Five-Twenties.

COURTSHIP OF WILL WCODHOUSE
Mr. William Woodhousc was natural
ly a vcrry timid man. Not that he was
lacking in moral or physical' courage, but
he was afraid of the women. On all o
ther occasions lie was usually enual to
the emergency, be it whatever it mi?ht':
but place him tete-a-tete with a woman,
iiuu, io use a vulgar nut expressive
phrase, he wa3 done for.
His mother had long ago settled down
to thc uncomfortable conviction that Wil-
liam would never marry and the rirls
nad arrived at the same conclusion ; it
had become quite the thing to say, in
.1.. . "

but he looked upon them very much as
sensible people do upon a hornet's nest
as a eurious piece of architecture, but
not sate to be 'familiar with.
So he kept his distauce, and in thc
meantime arrived at the mature age of
twenty-three. Then he met, lor the
first time, at a picnic-party, Adelaide

Adelaide, all unconscious of the trou
ble she had caused, went her way, break
ing the hearts of most of the young gen
tleman in Highbridgc, and trying hard
to fracture the few that remained whole.
She was visiting her aunt Hooper, and
it is an undeniable fact that ladies always
take best where they are not known.
This is uo libel on thc sex no, indeed !
lor with gentleman this truth is still
more applicable.
Mrs. Hooper was a widow lady of no
small personal attractions iu her own es
timation, antl if she was not so young as
she might have been, she thought shej
was, and behaved accordingly. She still
affected short sleeves aud profuse ringlets
of glossiest black though envious in
dividuals persisted in it that her curls
were made at the hair-dresser's. The
same persons also believed that she was
anxious to supply that place of the dear
deceased as soon as possible.
For a week after meeting with Ade
laide, Will bore up bravely. The second
meeting destroyed all the stock of com-posucQ-ho
had been hoarding up. He
took- desperately to the Muses, aud walk
ed the whole night away, to the infinite
destruction of shoe-leather and the infin
ite disgust of his practical papa.
He met Adelaide now quite frequent
ly, flighbridge was very gay. There
wa3 a singing school, a lyceum, a "soci
ety," and then the folks got up excur
sions to thc surrounding hills for it was
yet early autumn, aud nature was in her
robes of state.
There was an .excursion to Mount Gi
blo, one fiuc day, and there Will had the
ccstatic pleasure of treading on Adelaide's!

aud dosed him with hoarhoud and Dr.
Perkin's patent pacific pills. He grew
worse and worse.
At last, thinking himself near his cud,
he confessed to his mother. She was
thunderstruck at first;' but afterwards,
like a sensible woma

to put on his "t'other clothes" and go

"Ycs, Will," said she encouragingly.
"I come over "
"Yes, I know now you did," still more
encouragingly.
"I came over to ask a great favor of
you."
."Well, you couldn't have come to any
body that would be readier to do you a
kindness, William."
"Thank you." Thc sweat stood on his
forehead iu great drops. "But this is a

"Thc fact of it is, I'm in love desncr

"Mercy on me ! Why, William ! and
I never mistrusted it never ! Well, of

closer and put her fat hand in William's.
"Yes, I'm in love, and I come to ask
you if you would "
"Will I To be sure I will ! How
could you think otherwise ? I have al
ways thought so much of you ! But it is
so sudden ! What would folks say ?"
"Deuced if I care !" cried Will, elated
at the prospect before him. "It's no

account of what people will say? Don't

"And you'll ask Adelaide, make it all

"Adelaide ? Oh ! she'll have no earth

11Atq you sure ? If I was only certain
of it ! Oh ! Mrs. Hooper, I loved her the
moment I set eyes on her !"
"Her? Who?
"Why, your niece, Adelaide Browne.
She is the only woman on earth that I
could ever be happy with. I shall die if
I don'J, get her !"
Mrs. Hooper turned purple. She
caught up the poker and flew at our hero
like a maniac. He made for the door,
she following close.
"I'll show 3Tou how to insult a respec
table woman !" she cried; "I'll teach you '
now to steal the affections ot a guileless
heart, and then prove false!" each "show
ing" accompanied by a thump from the
poker.
Will at last succeeded in putting the
door between him and his antagonist, and
in frautic haste he dived down over the
steps, and at the bottom reeled full into (
thc arms of Adelaide Browne herself, who (
was just returning from a friend's. ;
"Don't let her get at me !" he cried ;
"I'd rather die than she should hug me ,
again
! It's you I love, not her, and
madder than a panther."
It was not a very elegant proposal, but ;
Miss Browne's self-nosscssion insured !
Will's everlasting weal. She accepted
him on the spot, for she had liked him
now ; but even to this day the sight of a
widow win maicc mm tremble, tiiey arc
