General News Summary.• O H M T I C .

T h * p u b lic -d eb t s ta tem en t, as p u b ­lished on the ad, indicates the following: To­tal debt (ineludlog Interest of 184,841,798), ♦2,802,544,188. Cash in Treasury, 8278,898, 007. Debt, less cash In Treasury, 62,038,643,- 111. Increase during December, 81,233,785.

T he ooinagfe at the United States Mint during 1878 w ast Gold, 813,228,042; silver, 811,785,626; copper, 857,998.50. Total, 826,074,566.50.

T he outstanding currency, on the 1st, aggregated 8868,208,584.

T w en ty thousand dollars in in ­terest was paid at the Treasury in Washing­ton, on the 2d, all of which was paid in legal- tender notes, except 62,861, for which the holders of coupons asked and received coin checks on New York. The holders of cou­pons had previously received coin for them, but on the 2d, for the first time, they had to take legal-tender or coin checks on New York. Many accepted legal tender, though not with­out some growling, and others demanded the coin checks. Sec’y Sherman is represented as being in excellent spirits, because of the smooth working of affairs uuder the Resumption act. A number of tele­grams received by him from differ­ent parts of the country were seut over to the President, amoDg them one from Assist­ant Treasurer HUlhoose, at New York, re­ceived early In the day, to the effect that the amount of gold demanded for United States notes was Insignificant. Just before the close of the offioe another dispatch from Hillhonse, giving the amount disbursed as 6180,000, and the receipts 8400,000, was received and read with much gratification. Orders for 82,000 standard silver dollars were received et the Treasury Department on the 2d.

T here were 917 failures reported in New York City during the past year, with lia­bilities of $63,954,403, and assets at 818,695,- 531. This exceeds the record of any former year, but the large number is mainly due to the repeal of the Bankrupt act.

T he resumption of specie payment a t Eastern cities^ on the 2d, seemed to cause but little excitement. In New York, a large proportion of the gold checks presented at the Sub-Treasury were paid In United 8tates notes, at the request of holders.

A t o r n a d o visited Santa Barbara,Cal., on the night of the 2d. A pathway through the town was cut, and houses, fences and trees prostrated. Several lives were lost.

T he Union £otton Press Company’s warehouse, a t Charleston, 8. C., was burned on the morning of the l e t About 10,120 bales of cotton were destroyed. Loss, 6575,- 000. The fire was the work of an incendiary.

How She Won Him.

Two beautihil young girls, though of different temperaments and style of beauty, were in love with the same young gentleman in a northern suburb, or—which comes to the same thing in effect—desired to marry him. One was a plump, robust and vivacious brunette; the other an ethereal and sentimental blonde, of whom one admirer—a Bos­ton young man—said that “ fastidious critics might describe her as blanched and etiolated.” The young man was rather taken up with the latter, who had a bewitching sigh and a far-away dreamy look, and, when refreshments were passed around, contented herself with pecking timidly at a maccaroon, like a dyspeptic canary, and the bru­nette felt that she must deliver a mas­terstroke ere the holidays, or else the young man was lost, and, in the pres­ent stringency of the matrimonial mar­ket. such a catastrophe was not to be contemplated with calmness. Accord­ingly, a week ago last night, she in­duced the j’oung man to see her home from church, and on the way said: “ What a darling girl Lucy is!” “ She is, indeed,” warmly answered the young man, pleased to hear the woman he was almost engaged to so warmly praised; “ so dainty and delicate!” “ Yes, indeed,” resumed the apparently guileless girl; “ and she would make a very nice wife for anyone who could afford it.” “ Why,” said her compan­ion, “ it wouldn’t cost much to board her—she doesn’t eat any more than Molly Fancher.” “ Perhaps not,” re­plied the temptress; “ but even if she didn’t the money wouldn’t go into her husband’s pocket, for the woman that keeps the boarding-house would charge the same anyhow, and, in point of fact, it would cost her husband more, for the Bologna sausage, peanuts, fat ham- sandwiches, plum-cake, and so on that she would eat between meals would have to be furnished by herself. It isn’t like when you have your own pan­try to go to.” “ Bologna sausage!” said the young man. somewhat nervous­ly; “ do you mean to say that an ethereal angel like Lucy feeds on Bo­logna sausage between mealsP” “ They all do it,” responded his companion, “ and in that manner ruin their stom­achs and lose their appetites, so that they look delicate.” “ Bnt it would be different if she had a home of her own, where shd could do her own house­work, and have a sufficiency of plainfood, which----- ” “ But if she had ahome of her own she couldn’t do her own housework; she’d be too" delicate for that, and her husband’d have to hire a servant girl that would eat as much almost as she’d carry away for her friends. Poor Lucv’s poor dear elder sister tried it, and overtaxed her strength, and for nine years she has been an invalid, and has to be fed on liver, wings of chickens and dry cham­pagne, three pints a day. Poor olreat- ufes! I pity them. I know I seem vulgarly ooarse and unpoetical to many young men, because I eat so heartily, but sfnoe I was two years and eighteen months old I haven't cost mamma and papa a dollar for doctor’s bills, I can carry a scuttle of coal in each hand heaping full, and I always get up be­fore the servant-girl in cold weather to light the fires—the sensation is so de­lightful; just like electricity and cham­pagne.” This last touch settled the young man; he cried in raptures, “ Be miner’ and it v u 2:20 a.' m. on Mon­day before she let him out of the front door. On Monday afternoon he woe seen at a well-known jeweler’s getting a set of pearls and sapphires changed for something more becoming to a lady of dark complexion. Alas, poor Lucy! — Chicago Tribune.

—South Boston was recently the scene of a dastardly1 murder. James H. Fox, a young man, a teamster, was sitting in his tenement muMshing his saucy three-year-old g in by slapping: her face, when his brother-in-law, Ed­ward Dougvan, an overgrown school­boy, seventeen years of age, took um­brage and Btruck Fox. Fox returned the blow, whereupon Donovan left with a challenge to Fox to oome on the street and he would fix him. F6x, however, remained in the house. In ten min­utes Donovan returned, armed with am ugly two-edged knife made from an old file, and began a scuffle, which ended in less than a minute by his burying the knife in Fox’s bowels.

—A bloody tragedy is reported near Keoche, in the vicinity of Shreveport, La. Wiley Holmes, married to a sister of Ben Talbert, had some family mis­understanding with his brother-in-law. Both happened out hunting deer, and met on the road. Talbert ordered Holmes to halt, and aimed his gun at him. Holmes raised his gun, and both fired simultaneously, each shot taking effect. They then dismounted ana fired again. Talbert fell in the road and Holmes walked to a house nearby, falling exhausted on the doorsteps. Talbert came up and stepped over Holmes, injo the house, asking for a gun to finish him. He, too, fell on the Boor, and both expired in a few min­utes after. Holmes was twenty-three and Talbert nineteen.

—A most unfortunate accident re­cently occurred on the railroad between Sheridan and Wheatland. John Dusel- procured a license in this city to marry Miss Tilly O’Brien, of Sheridan. Mr. Dusel went to Sheridan to consummate his marriage. After arriving there he found that a marriage-license issued iu Yuba County would not answer in' Placer, and they resolved to return to Wheatland that evening. A hand-car was procured, and the parties started on their return. Unfortunately, an­other party started from Wheatland about tne same time to go to Sheridan on another hand-car to attend the wed­ding. Neither ear carried a light, and somewhere between the two places the cars came together, and the intended bride received injuries to her lower limbs while sitting on the edge of the car which rendered the amputation of both limbs necessary.— M arysville (C al.) Advertiser.

—A few evenings ago, a young man named Adams started from Columbia to this city on horseback. He thought that it would be more pleasant to nde on the railroad track, and striking the track just out of Columbia spurred his horse into a gallop. Adams says that he thought his familiarity with the track would keep him out of danger, but all at once the horse came to a bridge which was without flooring. Adams was thiown over the horse’s head as the poor animal’s legs went through. When he recovered con­sciousness he found himself hanging head down under the bridge, one foot being fast in the stirrup. He was so bruised that he could not lift himself, and there he remained iu the greatest agony. There was a whistle and a roar, and he knew that a train was coming. As the wheels crashed over the bridge he felt a shock. The cow­catcher had thrown the horse off, but the saddle was wedged in between sills. He hung until sunrise and was then resoued, almost dead.— Houston j(Tex.) Telegram.

Large and Small Farms.

A fault of the Americans is to at­tempt to accomplish too much. Wealth or ambition leads us to make the effort to arrive at the end without the trouble of reaching it by carefully traversing the ground lying between it and the be­ginning. And yet there iB only one way to atqemyUkhi * journey, whatever m aybqijgor ride the entire distanceskip a single principle lies

foot of the way. This es at the foundation of all

real sueoeas. If duty in any particular be negleoted, or if details are slighted, anything that may be thought success will only be partial, and it will not be unlikely that complete and disastrous failure will result. A farmer who neg- leots a thousand ap/roa will not be as 8uccosffful as jfee one who thoroughly cultivates a hundred. He may, ana no doubt will, have more grain when the harvests shall ripen, but when he at­tempts to calculate his profits, he must calculate them as per acre, and if the yield of his thousand acres is less per acre than the owner of the hundred acres has. realized, ,his success, other

In the majority of In­stances,' the waste arising from neglect has been quite sufficient to ruin any­body, and this neglect is inseparable from unusually large farming operas tions. The fact that a man is himself a good farmer will pot prevent it, -for he is largery dejpendent on help, and help, never the most careful or compe­tent, suffers considerable demoraliza­tion when employed on a farm steadily in very large numbers. .

The demoralisation of help, to which refer­ence has been made, was particularly notioeable, and crops were not half cul­tivated, stock was injured for the lack of care, buildings and fences became dilapidated,, and everything, indoor and out, bore the appearance of haste, negleot and decay.

c a n s u o c e s s /u l lyafire* Of land that quantity. Farming requires too much ability and sound judgment to expect that the pwner of such a farm could gather about htmqhd|iffh of com­petent assistance to carry it on, even if there were no difficulties in the way of maintaining its efficiency after it was once secured. Everything about the farm demands the greatest of care. If a board is knockea off a building, and is not replaced, there is neoessarily some loss, and there may be consider­able. If the cows are treated unkindly, there will be less milk and its products. If the horses are neglected in the way of grooming or protection from the ele­ments, the feed-bin must be drawn upon moro heavily to keep them in condition, and thus we might go through the entire details of the farm, and see how little it requires to cause leaks in the profits. But the experi­enced farmer knows that his constant supervision is usually necessary to se­cure this care. He knows that a large proportion of farm hands will slight their work, if they have the opportu­nity. H# knows that there are men

ho i f le ft to themselves will destroy more than the amount of their wages, and that there are those who will ruin in a few weeks the best cow or team that ever existed. But the farmer who attempts to cultivate a 40,(XX) or a 6,- 000-acre farm cannot possibly have the

/ Milk, Batter, Cheeee.

As ik any other pursuit, the farmer desires to make the most money with the least labor and risk—at least to un­dergo as little labor and risk as possi­ble. Sometimes he will abandon a mixed husbandry, in whioh ho has been all his life profitably engaged, and con­vert his farm to dairy purposes alone; that is, producing milk for the city market or a cheese factory. This re­lieves the family of a great deal of la­bor and the farmer himself from much hard work and looking after. It is true he bos his responsibilities with his cattle and the pastures and soiling crops; still it, is a m tm m from at least

e-half of hlb labors. Bat iq many —we think we pad hay in A matpr-

Once in debt, they have in many in­stances never got out again, and if they were fortunate enough not to lose all that they had, 'they dragged through life under a heavy burden, when it was possible for them to have possessed a good farm and to have been independ­ent. These instances and those similar to thoee befdre stated, have been nu- merous enough to'satisfy anyone of the impracticability of farming on a very extensive scale, and there is no excuse for farmers making the mistake in the light of these facts. ,

instead of larger farms, we must in this oountry make up our minds that we must have smaller and better culti­vated ones. The fact that the oountry is gradually filling up must not be lost sight of. Of course we have an im­mense territory—a territory sufficient to accommodate the present population of the world, and then be less crowded than Ohina or Japan. But it will some tim.e be filled; ana in the Eastern States it is as completely filled as it ought to be now. Still there are those in the East who want farms in the East, and the time will come when Eastern farms will be cut up into smaller ones, and it is altogether desirable that they should be. It is desirable because it will in­sure a more thorough cultivation of the land, and because every man who owns an acre of land becomes a steadier and more substantial citizen. It is the work of patriotism to encourage men to become land owners.— Western Rural.

False Swearing,

A f e w days ago the Judge of a New York Court ordered the defendant in a breach-of-promise case into custody on a charge of perjury, for having sworn in his answer that lie had never prom­ised marriage to the plaintiff, while in his evidence he admitted that such a

?romise had been given. The New orb code requires pleadings in certain

cases to be sworn to, and in this case the defendant swore to a statement which his personal testimony showed to be untrue. The Judge dia right in causing his arrest for perjury. The case in hand is a type of a large class qi false.swearing as a matter qf form. Thousands of me* who would repel with indignation the charge of false swearing do nevertheless commit flat perjury in swearing to pleadings, affi­davits for continuance, etc. Still an­other and larger olass of perjurers are those who sign their tax returns with their eyes shut, and hold their con­sciences behind them while swearing to the statement. Not a year passes that there is not enough false swearing done in making out tax returns to make the Devil laugh during the rest of the

his position of a the mark. Helongs for the past life; and some day, after selecting from his stock of cattle a portion of the best of them, sells the rest off, and returns to actual fa rm in g and the good old way in which, though working harder, and requiring more attention from his family, he found his true position, his true happiness, as well as greater gains.

We know of a number who have re­linquished the mere routine production of milk, and have resumed the old and more satisfying system of raising wheat and corn, rye ana oats, a little buck­wheat, an acre or two of potatoes, from ten to twenty acres of timothy if within reach of d market; clover for the cattle; a field of turnips and another of rutabagas; a half-dozen bullooks for the shambles, a half-dozen head of good cows from which to make butter; a dozen to fifty sheep for Bale and for home consumption; a good pen or two of swine; together with the usual other little matters aud. things making up the real business of a farmer who lives within reach of a ready market. Even in relation to the matter of butter alone, there are few who know how to make a first-class article, but who will admit that it is more profitable than to sell the milk.

As to ohoese factories, these will be established only by men of capital, who are frequently not farmers at all, and, if well conducted, they will make a great deal of money; but unless they own the land and the cattle as a part of their business capital, the heavy profits will come from the farmer, who seeks to reduce his labor, as he will his income at the same time, by what we regard only as an unfortunate change in nis system of husbandry.— German­town Telegraph.

A nother advantage is th e facility W ith which the progress of th e disease an.l cu re can be watched, aud If the Belt be no t q u ite In the righ t place, It can be very easily read ­ju sted so as to cover the parts affected.
