A WONDERFUL STROKE IN FINANCE. Secretary Carlisle announces with the blow of A trumpet and the loot of a foghorn that the July interest on 4 per cent, bonds will be paid at once, without rebate, in order to relieve the pressure. This interest, be it remembered, mostly goes into the bands of bankers, and amounts to about 87,000,000. While this favor is being extended to the banks by Secretary Carlisle, Secretary Hoke Smith announces with a louder blare and a c:?e deafening |toot that he is cutting down the number of pensioners at the rale of fifty 8 day, [and that instead of there being a deficiency in the pension appropriations, there will be a surplus of $25,000,000. The point we make is that the distribution of the S-5,000,000 araoDg the Union veterans all over the country will do more to prevent stricgencv than the distribution of ST,000,000 among the bankers. In the one case it goes to a class of men who keep it in circulation, and affords a healthy and equable stimuli's to trade and business throughout the conntry. The butcher, the baker, the grocery man and dry goods merchant all feel the impulse of pension pay day. Nearly rerv village and hamlet feels in its local trade the quickening and beneficial influence of the distribution of pension money. The money, we have shown, goes mostly to poor people, who promptly pay it out for the necessaries of life, and thus gives a stimulus to business that is felt in every artery of trade. In the other case it only goes to swell the banks' resources, which i6 well enough, but not the panacea for Btringent times. The policy only goes to show that the Administration has a warmer feeling for the coupon clipper than it has for the poor devil who risked his life on the battle-field and who perchance is receiving the pittance of a pension at the rate of S4 a month. Such a wonderful financial policy should be patented.
A MAD DEMOCRAT.
Frunkfort .Xvws: He resides in Car roll county, and was one of the be6t soldiers in one of Indiana's best cavalry battalions, and sinc3 the war has voted the Democratic ticket from President down to road supervisor without a cratch. In one of the fierce charges in which he participated he sustained broken leg by his horse falling on the limb after the animal had been hit by a rebel bullet From that day to thie he has meandered through life with one leg about an inch shorter than the other. In 1869 he applied for and was granted a pension of $8 par month. Monday of this week he received a big envelope containing a notification that he was not entitled to a pension, and unless he fully established a claim payment would forever cease. Because of this the veteran is mad and he has a perfect right to be. He says that he will make no effort to be restored, but that Hoke Smith may take the pittance and go to hades.
There is a law of Congress which prohibits the mutilation or defacement of United States coin or notes. The penalty for the latter offence is $100 for each note or coin defaced in any way. The stamping of a name upon a coin, the printing or writing anything upon a note, or the pasting of a "sticker" upon a coin, are all offenses punishable under the law. Just now, the "stickers" are giving the government officials much annoyance. The "stickers" are circular bits of paper, gummed like a postage stamp on the back, and with an advertisement on the face. They are made just large enough to fit inside the milled rim of the standard silver dollar. The way to stop the nuisance is to refuse to take a dollar so defaced.
A featcue of the ooming Sunday at the World's Fair will be the holding of religious services in Festival Hall, which has a seating capacity of 8,000 people. The services yesterday were conducted by the Rev. Dr. W. H. Thomas, a well known clergyman of Chicago. Five thousand were in attendance. They were attentive and appreciative, and were rewarded by an excellent sermon, and Rome inspiring music. The subject of the sermon was the unity of mankind and man as a helper of man.
It 6eems to be the policy of the Administration to console the Democrats for their disappointment about the offices by canceling the pensions of Union veteraus at the rate of fifty per day. It will be observed that the pension of no Mexican veteran has been canceled. These mostly live in the Southern Suites.

WONDERFUL INSECTS.
Plant Lioe That Are Used as Cows by Ante.
African Aphldea Which Inhabit Ftr Tree* and UlatlU Water from the Sap or from tha At motphere.
Almost every plant has its peculiar aphis, or plant louse, says the St. Louis Republic, creatures which nature has endowed with wonderful powers of reproduction. Among these odd Insects there may be from twenty to fifty (fenerations In each year, each generation capable of producing others. A distinguished naturalist has given figures to prove that one pair of aphides in five generations, all of which could be brought into the world in less than ten days, would have descendants to the number oi S,904,900,000.
Ants, although they cannot also be classed as the "most wonderful insect of creation," ore certainly the wisest They use a certain species of aphis as their cows. The ant finds the aphis with his proboscis pushed entirely through the'bark of qomo tender plant, slowly sucking its lifo's blood (sap). Reason (it cannot be properly called by any other name) teaches the ant that if the aphis is irritated he will void this digested sap. Straightway Mr. Ant marches up to the helpless aphis and proceeds to irritate the poor creature with his feelers, and forthwith the sap begins to flow from two bristle-like tabes, which are situated near the tall end of the aphis. This flow of sap Is what the ant had reason to expect, and as he is very fond of it he begins to greedily suck It up.
Livingstone tells of a species of aphis which inhabits the fig trees of Africa which constantly distill water until it forms in great puddles on the ground underneath. There seems to be some contention among naturalists as to whether this Insect distills its water from the top of the plant which it infests or3 from the atmosphere. Livingstone found some of them at work on a castor bean plant and set about making an experiment. When first surprised at their work distillation was going on at the rate of one drop every sixty-seven seconds, or about five and a half tablespoonfuls every twentyfour hours. He destroyed the bark of the plant below them, and, although it is known that sap must come from the earth, they were actually distilling a drop every five seconds, the flow being thirteen times greater than it was the day before. lie then girdled the plant so deeply that It dried and broke off still the little colony of Insect wonders kept at work, regularly distilling one drop every five seconds, while another colony on a green twig only managed to distill a drop every seventeen seconds.
There are many other curious points about aphides, such as the idea that they are the progeny of ants, that they will turn to ants or that ants will turn to aphides—common errors.
ETIQUETTE OF GLOVES.
At English Levees Those Received by Boy alty Must Havo Ooe Hand Uncovered. The prince of Wales is invariably gloved, and well gloved at that. He wears gloves whenever he stirs out of the house, and in the evening at the theater, or at private entertainments, his hands are always enveloped in wellcut, single-button, pearl-gray kids. He retains his gloves when shaking hands, but the person whom he thus greets is expected to "bare his hand before extending it. Thus at the levees held by the prince on behalf of the queen at St. James' palace the ushers and other functionaries of the lord chamberlain's department who are on duty are careful to see that each man before entering the royal presence has his right hand bared and his left carefully gloved. In the middle ages the etiquette with regard to gloves was far mere stringent than it is at present. For Instance, no one was permitted to enter a church wearing gloves, which were considered just as out of place as it would nowadays be to remain in any sacred edifice with a hat on. Nor were the great officers of the royal and im perial courts permitted to wear gloves while fulfilling their official duties. It was forbidden In France for the fcoachman and grooms to enter the royal stables without previously removing the gloves from their hands. Curiously enough, gloves went out of fashion almost entirely during the latter portion of the eighteenth century, and only reappeared after the great
French revolution, one hundred years ago. The first gloves that were ever heard of are those mentioned in the hi tory of the Roman war against the Gauls. The latter, we are told, had their hands enveloped in coverings made of the skins of animals in order to preserve them from the cold.
A Bank In Her Throat.
Grasslni, the great Italian singer, was very much interested in the young girls among her relatives, and always ready to encourage any talent she could find in them. One day a novice was brought to her with the unpromising woras: "She is a spoiled contralto, and will never do anything on the stage." But the singer listened vvhlle the young girl began her frightened trills, when suddenly Grassini caught her in her arms with delight. "Why, you are not a contralto," she 'said, "but the finest soprano in the world. Your voice Is far stronger than mine. Study well. You want none of my help there is a rich bank in your throat" The little singer was none other than Giula Grisi.
SlaTery in Mexico
Out of one hundred men whom
... you
will meet in Tobasco, Mexico, scarcely ten are able to read, and two out of every three are held by their creditors as slaves for debt. There are about five hundred thousand Mexicans in this form of slavery. The people often fall into debt through paying the exorbitant marriage fee asked by the priest, and another large fee is exacted at the baptism of each child, each baptism requiring the entire wages of at least two weeks.
