The Cash System.
The evils of the credit system, in minor
business transactions, are the experience of
almost every one. The iemarks below,
from the "American Mech ic," apply as
well to most kinds of busines ti:i publish
ing :
"With publishers of newspapers, in com
mon with business men generally, the cash
system is preferable to any other; to pub
lishers, who rely or nearly so, upon their
subscription list for support in the prose
cution of their business, it is indispensable.
Such a thing as newspaper credit should
have no existence anywhere. Nothing is
gained by it, either by the proprietor or
subscriber, but , the former must necessarily
be the looser. There are thousands of up
right, well-meaning men, who subscribe for
newspapers and who intend to pay for
them, but the idea of writing a letter to the
-editor r enclosing-two dollars,- never -entered
their heads—though if called upon for the
amount due, they would probably be pre
pared to meet the demand.
' , But the publisher of almost every coun
try newspaper knows it would be out of
the question for him to employ a collector
out of the profits of his subscriptions ; so
many of his patrons continue year after year
_taking the paper without advancing a cent,
while he is paying cash for his printing
materials, cash for his paper and labor, and
everything necessary to carry on business.
Here then is a loss—not attributable to any
design on the part of the subscriber to de
fraud, but the legitimate fruit of a worse
than worthless system. They would pay, if
waited upon ; but the printer cannot afford
to spend five dollars for collecting three, and
never gets his pay.
~ A gain--Mr. A. has the paper sent to his
address four or five years; his bill by this
time amounts to ten dollars ; he dies, or runs
away, or perhaps becomes bankrupt; here
is another 'profit and loss' account for the
printer.
"Mrs B. also, who lives some five hun
dred miles distant, has had the paper mailed
to him three years without making pay
ment, when suddenly the editor is addres
sed thus : "Sir—Your paper addressed to
Mr. B. is not taken out of the office. Rea
son—gone to California." •
"Aside from cases of this kind, there are
in every community numbers of very liber
al minded men,' who are particularly anxi
ous for the success of everything of a litera
ry character, and who, by way of encour
ageing the enterprise, are always, ready to
enter their names on the subscription book,
but never think of paying."
A. Great Gold Story.
On the strength of a private letter from
San Francisco, the New York Tribune tells
the following marvellous story :
In the fire proof store of Gregory's Express
office, in San Francisco, lives a gentleman
named Hastings, who is largely interested
in the quartz mines. In one of his claims
in Carson's creek ten miles above Stockton
his partners (for there are seven of them
have been working for the last two or three
months with indifferent success. They
lensed out the claim to some dozen Mexicans,
agreeing to divide the profits. Early 'in
A pril they commended drilling on the oppo-
site side of the mountain, where there was
not the least outward sign of gold. After
boring to the depth of seven feet they blew
out atone blast 350,000 worth of gold
This occured on the 12th. On the 14th
one of the partners came by express with the
news. On the 22d two of the partners ar
rived with two boxes of the quartz. Greg
ory's Express office was crowded for two or
three hours with the wealthy merchants
and bankers of the city, who flocked to see
the show. The boxes were afterwards
taken to Moffitt's Government Assay office.
On the 25th the result was given, which the
writer copied from Moffat's account viz :
103 lb of quatz rock produced 26 one-pound
bars of pure gold, valued at $l7 75 per
ounce. Each ounce of rock yielded $8 50
of gold. Total value, $9,182 15.. Cost
of coining, $225.
Several merchants have tried to pur
chase shares, but they have been told that
$lOO,OOO would not buy one. The bed is
represented to be 7 or 8 feet from the sur
face, and about 6or 7 inches wide. The
depth and length are not yet ascertained.
Over two tons of this valuable rock is said
to be in sight, and the estimated value, ac
cording to present appearances, is $5, 000,
000, $2,000,000, it is said, can be got out
in a month. .
Law Reform•
Lord Denman makes an able communi
cation to the editor of the Law Review, on
the reception of the evidence of parties in
civil suits. He asserts that he conveys the
sense of nearly all of the British Bend!,
when he says that the change is necessary
for the discovery of the truth and the pro
motion of justice, and will greatly tend to
prevent the crime of perjury, and ultimate
ly extinguish unjust litigation. The sub
ject of Law reform is occupying a large
share of attention in England, and from the
ability enlisted in the cause, and the great
names which lend their sanction to the
changes contemplated, it is highly probable
that all the restrictions to the admissibility
of testimony, on the score of competency,
will be ultimately removed. Lord Broug
ham has introduced an act into the House
of Lords, abolishing all witness disqualifica
tions, whatever and wherever, on the score
of interest. The previous legislation in
England towards this same principal has
been attended with the best results, and has
greatly facilitated the administration of
justice, as has been confessed by nearly all
the County court judges in their replies to
inquiries addressed to them by the Law
Amendment Society. The movements
now contemplated are important, and their
progress will be watched with interest by
all who wished to see the administration of
justice placed on • principles of the most
sound and mablocharactert .
Charcoal and Water.
The following valuable hints we a
' bridge and copy from the Agricultural part
of the Patent Office Report :
e: About one half of the dry weight of all
plants is carbon or charcoal. Of the other
moiety. more than four-fifths are water,
called oxygen and hydrogen. Without
the presence of moisture, both in the soil
and atmosphere above it, no plant can grow:
and the presence of carbon, in a dissolved
or a gaseous form, is equally indispensable
to the production of all vegetables.
It matters little whether carbon is accumu
lated in a solid form by imperfect combus
tion, as in the making charcoal from wood
in a common coal pit, or by the slow decay
of plants (ermacausia of Liebig) in forming
mould, muck and peat. The power of
these carbonaceous and exceedingly porous
bodies_to_condense the gaseous food of cul
tivated plants should be universally known.
Gaseous compounds of phosphorus obey
the same general law. All well pulverized
earths have a similar property of conden
sing oxygen and other gase3 ;and thorough
tillage greatly promotes the condensation of
vapors and gases about the roots of plants to
nourish them. Charred peat, muck and
wood are exceedingly valuable to mix with
all manures to prevent the escape of fertili
zing elements which are Volatile and liable
to rise into the atmosphere.
Charred muck, peat'und wood are com
ing into extensive use in deodorizing night
soil, aided by gypsum and common salt.
By these means a fertilizer of great power,
and perfectly inodorous, may be formed,
suitable to be planted or drilled with all
seeds. Well dried and finely pulverized
clay is a valuable deodorizer, and is used by
many millions of people in China and some
parts of Europe. to mix with night soil. In
this way it can be thoroughly dried and
not part with any of its gases. Copperas water
and diluted oil of vitriol poured over night
soil, convert all the volatile into involatile
elements.
To command water in dry weather, and
get rid of the excess in rainy seasons, deep
tillage is equally valuable. In the former
case, moisture ascends from the subsoil by
the capillary attraction : and- in--the latter,
the excess of water in the surface soil' de
scends into the subsoil to meet an exigency
of an opposite character. The skilful con
trol of water is the first.lesson in good farm
ing.
A Word for the School Mistress.
We commend the following just and for
cible remarks, which we extract from the
Report of the Board of School visitors, of
Hartford, Connectcut,' to the attention of
School Directors in our county:—
It is universally true that in this age of
division of labor, and consequent perfection
in the specific departments of employment,
high wages only, will secure the finished
artizan the master in his line : /mar mum
will command only the services of the bun
gler. School teaching is an independent
art. It has. its glaciations from consummate
skill to utter shiftlessness—and generally
speaking, the wages will determine, to a
good degree the condition of a school.
Now it is a truth, that sonic of our leach
ers receive but $75 per annum and find
themselves! But suppose the compensa
tion $lOO, without board. What servant in
our kitchens work for such wages ? If you
pay her but $1,25 per week, her cash ‘va
ges amount to $65 per annum; then her
board will sum up much more, positive out
go—(to say nothing of extra fuel and light
for her personal accomodation) making
$l3O per annum : and this to one who wash
es dishes, and perhaps roast your beef.
But the girl, whose direct labor, or whose
silent influence is to aid the intellect, and to
build up the morals of your children, God's
immortal creatures, for whose destiny you
are inevitably responsible—she must be hir
ed not for her fitness ! The duties that
could be perfectly fulfiled only by the rarest
combination of qualities, are to be beddled in
the market, to the highest, that is to say, to
the lowest bidder.—Would that men might
store away this ftict arnang their prudential
accumulation, that a human heart and mind,
cheaply trained, is the costliest of products ;
while a heart and mind on whose culture,
money without stint, has been fruitfully ex
pended, is the cheapest of products.
