- COLLECTING A DEBT. How a Qualker Succeeded. . Near the close of the last century, a ‘Quaker knight of the shears and thimble, who exercised his. avocation in Philadelphia, was imposed upon by an adroit scoundrel, who contrived to get a guit of clothes on credit, ahd afterwards eloped withont paying for therh. ‘"The Quaker was too poor to lose the debt, but like a great many others of his eloth, he had apparently no alternative. The account was placed;on his books and goon forgotten. . - Some years afterwards he was examining his old records of debt and, credit, profit and lods, when. his attention was attracted to this account, and all the circumstances'attending it came fresh to his mind. Suddenly an odd _ thought suggested itself to him. L . ‘l’ll try an experiment,’ said he to himeelf; ‘perhaps T may succeed in catching the rogué and getting my pay.’ Ll S , - He immediately prepared an advertisement in sibstance as follows, which he inserted in the Philadelphia (Pa.) Gazette-: ‘ Lol If J—— C——, who was in Philadelphia about the month of ——, in ‘the year 1795, will send his address tothe.editor of this paper, he will hear of something to his' advantage. Print-ers-in neighboring States are requested to copy.’ - | ‘The latter clause was ingerted from a vague - suspicion that the rogue had taken up his abode in New York.— Having instructed; the editor, not- to disclose his mame to the rogue if +he should call, but to request the latter to leave his address, the Quaker patiently waited the result of his experiment.— In a short time he was informed by a note from the printer, that the individual alladed to in the advertisement, having arrived from New York, might be found at a given place in the city. The tailor lost no time in preparing a transcript of his account, not forgetting to charge interest from the time the debt was contracted.. Taking a constable with him, who bore a legal pro- . cess suited to the occasion, he soon arrived at the door of the lodgings of the ‘ swindler. © The Quaker now rung the bell, and when the servant appeared, requesied him 10 inform tlie geutlemwan of whom he was in search, that a friend wished to speak with him at the door. The man obeyed the summons, ‘and soon the debtor and creditoriwere look-irg-each other in the face. - T

‘How does thee do ?’ kindly inquired the Quaker. ‘Perhaps thou does not know me.’ ‘ ’ » I believe I have not the honor-of your acquaintance,’ politely answered our hero. ; “ R ‘Dost thou remember purchasing’ a suit of clothes several years ago of a poor tailor and forgetting to pay for them ¥ asked the Quaker, ~ ‘Oh, no,’ said the gentleman, blush ing slightly ; ‘you must be mistaken in the person. It cannot be me you. wish to find.’ L “Ah ! John, I know thee very well. Thou art the man I wish to see. Thou hast on at this very moment the waistcoat I made for thee. Thou must acknowledge it was of good stuff and well made, -or it could not have lagted thee so long.” < : Dy ‘Ob, yes,” said the gentleman, appearing suddenly to recollect himself; I do remember now the circumstances to which you allude. Yes, yes, I had intended to call and settle that little bill - before leaving Philadelphia, and you may de};;end onmy doing so. I have come here to take possession of a large amount of property which has fallen to me by will. "See here is the advertisement which apprised me of my good fortune.’ L Here he handed ‘to the Quaker a New York paper containing a copy of the advertisement the history of which we have given above.- The Quaker ldoked at it with perfect gravity, and continued : LLUAs 5 s

~ ‘Yes, I see you are in luck; but as my demand is' a small one I think I must {ingist on payment before thou comest into possession of thy large ‘estate? - : :

The proper signal here brought the constable into the presence of the parties. The swindler was particularly astonished at the appearance of this functionary, who immediately began to execute his part of the drama. ‘What I’ exelaimed the rogue in an angry tone, ‘you surely haven’t sued me ¥ S

‘Yes, I have,” replied the Quaker, ‘and you should be thankfnl that nothing worse has happened to thee.” - ~ ‘Oome’ into -the house,’ said sthe debtor, finding himself fairly caught ; ‘come in and I will pay you if I must.’ ‘The three went into the house| together, and the slippery gentleman having ascertained the amount of the bill paid it in full.. The tailor having signed ' the receipt placed it in the hands of the late debtor, with, feelings such as may readily be imagined. The swindler took it, and for the first time glanced at the various items of which it was composed. He said nothing till he came to the last charge, which was for ‘advertising,” when he broke forth : e -

-Hello | what’s this? For advertising ? That’s an odd charge in a tailor’s bill, You are cheating me.' ‘OL, no,’ coolly replied the Quaker, ,that is all riiht. I charged you the cost of publishing the advertisement you just showed me.’ e

Here the swindler uttered a horrid oath, ‘as he exclaimed, ‘Do you mean to tell me that you caused the publication of that advertisement?’

~ “Truly I did,* replied the Quaker, with most provoking coolness.. , ‘Then you "tKeTI a lie in it,” quickly retorted the rogue. -~~~ ‘Convince me of that,’ said the Quaker, ‘and thou wilt find me ready to ¢onfess the fault.’ s

~*You gaid I would hear something to my advantage if I would come here.” - “Thou . art mistaken,” immedietely %esgonded the Quaker; ‘I only promtsed that you should hear ‘something to advantage,” and i& it not to the advantage of “a poor tailor to-collect an: old debt ?’ ~ .

‘lf I catch you in the street,” said the swindler with an oath, and in the deepest rage, ‘l’ll give you such a cowLiding as will not leave a breath in your-body’ -~ . ° ‘ ‘ ‘Nonsense,’ gaid the Quaker, ‘lf thou really intendest to do anything of that sort, we had better step out in the back yard and finish the business at once.

~ . Thé rogue was completely non-pluss-“ed by thecoolness of ihe Quaker,.and -stood speechless and almost petrified. ‘Now," saidithe Quaker,” good naturedly, let me give you a piece of ad-| vice. .. When ! next thou hast occasion to get a new kit of clothes, thou hadst _better not attempt to cheat’the poor taijor, but pay him honestly, for then wilt thy conscience not disturb thee and thy sieep will be sweet and refreshing. Farewell.” _—_«—<‘———‘—-———: ; How the Doctors and Dentists Make ' Moriey in New York, . A physician in good practice’ will receive patients in his office four hours daily, and make calls for the same length of time. From ten to twelve callers, and half as many house patients womld be a fair average, for which the fees: would be $2 and $5 each. ~ At these figures, it would not be hard to make up an income of $2O- - It is stated of Dr. W. Parker, I believe, that having been called out of town to attend a patient, he returned- a bill of $3OO, and when it was disputed he showed by his books that his daily reeeipts were much over that sum, and this will give an idea of the profits'of the most successful doctors. Surgeons’ single «chargés are much larger than those of physicians, though -the incomes of the latter are probably the highest. ~For ordinary attendance their rates are about the same,. of say $5 a visit., From $25 'upwarci is the. charge for operations. ' For setting an arm or leg $250 would be asked; larger undertakings being in proportion. For a case requiring a delicate operation and six weeks’ constant attention, sametimes two or three times g day, $l,OOO was lately asked by a leading surgeon. = In another'instance where a ‘weglthy gentleman “was badly lamed by a railrohd car, he was attended by Dr. James R. Wood, who made about’ a dozen vigits, without any important operation. and sent in a bill for $2,500 —which was paid. This is exceeded Ly Dr. Cutnochan, who charged $2,000 for an operation alone, while another surgeon is said to have recovered $4,500 from one patient. - One of. the heaviest expenses of doctors, as of lawyers, is for professional book. I'hese are-very costly. ranging as high as $5O, and even $250 apiece, while every physician has to buy some of them, go that a good professional library is a luxury that few can afford. The latter are not usually to be found among the mBst popular doctors who, as has been said, have not time for much study, but among the few scholarly men who pursue original research. There are a few men, like Dr. Purple, who have a taste for collecting baoks, but these are exceptions. Theflgfiter has a very fine collection of arg- American publications. . -Dr. Stephen Smith, Dr. Caroll, Dr. Hammond, ate among others who have good medical libraries, ranging fsom 2,000 to 3,000 volumes each, and comprising’the latest French, German, and American scientific and medical publications. ' S ‘

- The prices charged by dentists are quite ag high as those of physicians.— A man of ordinary reputation in the profession will ask from $5 to $3O for pulling a single tooth, while Mr., Atkingon, one of the most fashionable dentists, is reported t 6 charge $lO for simply examining a person’s teeth and $25 an hour for operating on them, and has brought in a bill of $2OO for filling. a single tooth. Many people refuse to pay these fancy: prices, but it is a common thing to have to pay ‘anywhere from 310 to $lOO for dentists’ bills. Most practioners of any reputation have engagements very far. ahead. Ten days is a short notice to wait for your turn ;- while a friend of mine, who went to Europe in the middlg of October last, on applying to her dentist for treatment, was told that he could not give her a gingle hour’s heed until February, or nearly four months in advance. Dentists are kept busy ‘all the, year round, and seldom have any leisure. Their practice is confining and not healthy, but it is very profitable. Their incomes range from 5,000 to $30,000 a year, while they have no -expenses for carriage hire, books or travel, and not a very heavy outlay for materials and keeping up their offices. |- ) .< — ' g A Very Strange Case. ; The Akron T'imes has the following : For some time past a Mrs. Metzler, an’ estimable lady residing with her family in this city, has been dangerously sick. On Thursday she apparently died and her friends commenced preparing her body for the grave. They were about to place her upon a board, when she sprang to her feet, and extending her arms, grabbed her husband by his whiskers and pulled them vigorously. The frightened husband and triends, after quite a struggle, succeeded in placing her upon the bed and every possible effort was made to revive her.

£ What Next ? % Last Friday afternoon the State Legislature was “interviewed” by as party of strongminded blue stockings who demanded that the word male be stricken from the State Constitution ; 8o as to allow their sex the privilege of voting, as well as all the other rights exercised by men. The honor-_ able gentlemen very goodnaturedly listened to their innocent prattling and extended their courtesies due to the opposite sex ; and even made,a useless motion or two just to tickle their van ity—and laughed in their sleeves the while they were doing so. One can imagine. how very ludicrous it must have been to see two women, with half dozen more parading at their heels, crying reform to the wise men of the l State; and demanding, what is nof desired by the many thousand noble women of this State. They should, have secured Mrs. Potts, with- her bloomer: breeches, and Susan B. Anthony, in the rig she wore at the recent:. Masquerade at Cleveland, to give ef* fect to the silly burlesque. Poor, vain’ beings ! they should realize that every Senator present could not but reecho the sentiments-of Gail Hamilton, when he says: Gp e

“I amr amazed, I am indignant to-hear this outery for a wider sphere and greater opportunities for women, while her sphere is already a thousand times wider than she spans, and her opportunities a thousand fold greater than she has attempted to measure.” If they keep within the sphere of women, they will not want for opportunities in which to display all that is gentle and beautiful in human nature. Woman as she %as been, has ever fulfilled the purpose for which she was created—an helpmeet for man. Woman, as political rights would make her, would at once blot from the happy home circle the tingeing of dgmestic happiness, and cause many—very many—of the youth of our lana te sigh for the presence and love of & mother, and plunge forward to ruin when her strong though gentle influence is not !there to restrain. The true mother is always found where nature, and nature’s God, placed her. Who has not realized her excellence ? Those who have, will recollect that it was her hand that bathed the burning brow, or moistened the parched lips; ber eye lighted up the darkness of nightly vigils, watching sleepless by their side as none but her could watch. In wayward boyhoed, she bore _patiently with : their thoughtless ‘rudeness. Through' a reckless and impatient youth, she was their counselor and solace. To a bright manhood, she guided their steps for improvement ; nor even now forsakes or forgets. . a Then ery no longer for suffrage.— Better, far better, be a woman without it, thah®gain it and be forever 4-useless, disgusting cumbrance upon the world and future generations.—Bluffton Banner. o

Financial Irregularities of Gov. Butler, of Nebraska—A Movement to Impeaeh. . 5 A dispatch from Lincoln, dated Jan. 29th, says : Considerable excitement in political circles has been. caused by the introducing of a resolution in the House inquiring into the action of Gov. Butler in disposing of mnearly $17,000 which he collected in the .spring of 1869 from the United States Government, credited to the I&ebraska school fund, on sales of land during our Territorial existence. Inreply to the first resolution, as to what disposal was made of this money, the Governor replied that he had deposited the amount in the State Treasury. A resolution was immediately passed requesting the Auditor and Treasurer to state why this amount was not ¢redited to the State in their reports. 'The reply was received that this money was never received into the State Treasury.. A committee was then appointed to request Gov. Butler to explain this discrepancy between his statement and that of the Auditor. The committee reported, Saturday afternoon, that Gov. Butler ctaims to have placed the money - in the hands of the Deputy Treasurer, and subsequently to have borrowed $15,060 for his own use, and loaned the balance to other parties. The Governor claims to have secured this money by mortgages; but this action was entirely unauthorized by law. A resolution was passed instructing the Committee on Schools to investigate' this and other matters pertaining to the school funds. The result may develop into the impeachment of the Governor. -

- LINCOLN, Jan. 29.—Further évidence réad develops the fact that Gov., Butler had appropriated illegally the amounf, collected by him from the Government for this State. A resolu‘tion adopted in the House, making 10 A, M., of Wednesday next, a speeial order to impeach the Governor, and select a committee of five to-draw up charges. The excitement runs high. B = [ How to Make Hens Lay in Winter, A writer in the Western Farmer Bays : , Being an old hand at the business, and I think successful, I wish to give, for the benefit of those interested, my system of feeding poultry to force them. I chop up pretty fine meat of any kind—-—-bakeg, roasted or raw—-and-in about a pound of meat I put about half a teaspoonful of cayenne pepper. I mix thoroughly ; then feed the meat to them, always being careful to have'them fed about an hour before, ‘with grain or other food. » *lf theat is not to be had, then make mush-of either corn meal, oat meal or buckwheat flour., - Never soak your corn. It is a poor plan. Poultry must have hard feed of some kind, or they will have digestion, and then of course other diseases. I feed the mixture as much as twice a week. In very cold weather feed oftener, and have no neighbor who can show more eggs from the same number of hens than I can, neither have they more vigorous, healthy stock, Old mortar broken up, charred bones, charcoal, etc., are very good, especially for winter, - ' The Hon. John Hickman, ex-mem-ber of Congress from Pennsylvania, died a few. tfiya since, aged 60 years.

A GRIEVOUS WRONG. ~ - There is the soundest common sense in the question asked by the Manufacturer ‘and; Builder: “ Why is it that there is such & repugnance on the part of parents to putting' their sons to a trade?” In its effort to show that such should not be the case, that paper remarks that a skilled mechanic is an independent man. Go where he will bis craft will bring him support. He nced.ask favors of none. He has literally his fortune in his own hands: Yet foolish parents—ambitious that theif sons should “ rise in the world,” as they say—are more willing that they should study fora profession, with the chances of even moderdte success against them, or run the risk of spending their manhood in the ignoble task of retailing dry-goods, or of toiling laboriously at the ‘accountant’s desk, than learn a trade which would bring them manly strength, health and independence. In point of fact, the method they choose is. the one least likely to achieve the advancenent aimed at, for the supply of candidates for positions as “ errand boys,” dry goods clerks and kindred occupations, is notoriously. overstocked: while, on the other hand, the demand for really skilled mechanics of every description, is as notoriuusly beyond the supply. The crying need of this country to-day is for skilled labor; &and that father who neglects to provide his son with a useful trade, and to see that he'thoroughly masters it, does him a'grie’vbus wrobg, and runs the risk of helping, by so much, to increase the stock of idle-and dependant, if not:vicious, members of society.. It is stated 1n the report of the Prison Association, lately issued, thiat of fourteen thousand five' hundred and ninety-six prisoners confined in the penitentiaries of thirty States, in 1867, seventy-seven per cent., or over ten thousand of the number, had never learsed a trade: The fact conveys a lesson of profound interest to those who have in charge the training of boys, and girls too, for the active duties of life.\ ' — - ——— Banquet to Blair and Hendricks. .

Stanton-Blaek-Wilson Controversy. From the St. Louis Republican. ' - . - Our readers will doubtless remember to have read a paper from the pen of Hon, Henry Wilson, of Massachusetts, several ‘wonths ago, upon the ¢haracter and times of Stanton. Some strange statements were made by Wilson. * They were to the effect ‘that while Mr. Stanton was a member of Buchanan's cabinet,: enjoying the perfect confidence of the President and his colleagues in council, he deliberstely volunteered to play the spy, and did, day after day, for weeks, hold secrét consultation with leading Republicans, informed them of whatever was transpiring at the White House and in cabinet meetings, and moreover avowed his hearty symf)gthy and cooperation with the Republican policy present and positives - e i It is impossidble to explain thie curious intatuation which led Senator Wilson to suppose that such shameless -breach: of faith, such flagr‘ant dishonor, suéh_ miserable hypoctisy and double dealing ‘as this eould be justified by any code of morals or lead to any other result than the blackening. of the -nui_im.ifi', him whose" friend and admirer he professed to be. Yet this infatuation has at least one compensating feature—it has led to a vindication of tle truth of history l\';l;,ich, under other circumstances, might Liave been long: delayed and possibly never come atall.” .

“Hon:x Jeremiah 8. Black ‘replied to the Wilson . artiele, and took issué with' the ~author upon the points of his narrative to which we Have alluded. This gentleman bad known Mr. Stanton intimately tor inahy years previous to the war; had associated - with. him socially, politically and préfessionally in the closest and most friendly relations, and both were members v'of Mr. Buchanan’s cabinet at the time " when the alleged events ogcurred. Judge Black confessed that he could not undérstand how so firm and eyen ultra a Dem“ocrat as Stanton; could accept office under a Radical administration, and inaugurate | ‘& system so-diametrically opposed to all his former convictions of law and duty ; I bug that in spite of this to bLim remarkfif ble inconsistency, he ¢ould not, and would not believe his fricnd had been guilty of the sins laid at his door; and that whatever he may have been afterward, he was ‘at least up to thie 4th of March, 1861, an honest and an Lonorable man, ‘incapable of duplicity and treason. to' those: with whom lie professed to be acting in perfect accord, nd who had never for an instant suspected his fidelity and truthfulness.— Senator Wilson’s rejoinder soon appeared and furnished all the necessary ‘proofs in support of the previous allegations.— These ,proofs did. establish beyond the shadow of a doubt that Mr, Stanton,while ‘an uncompromising Democrat in Buchan: -an’s cabinet, and endorsing those measares by which it was hoped ‘peace might be honorably. secured, did go often in the dead of night, to thie apartments of Sumner, “Wilson, and others, tell what had been discussed in ‘cabinct mecting, inyent stories which were subsequentty shown to be utterly destitute of foundation,‘and denounce his chief and associates.as traitors plotting thie destruction of the nation. ‘The language is simple and plain, but at the same time elegant, vigorous and wonderfully incisive ; the z};gume};t, is brilli--ant and comprehensive, and the logical conclusions reached: absolutely " irresistible. -He accepts the facts produced by Senator Wilson as tully proven, acknowledgeé that his estimate of bisipld associate and friend was entirely “'l‘s:\Lv,‘ and then, from’the material offered by |the champions of the late secretary, ~prr;#eedsto sum up his character. Never wagthere a more scathing review of a pol@jic’alfcarcer, never a thorough exhibition of’ meanness and tergiversation ; never a mor)af satisfactory riddling ot a gigantic sham than this. Tt “is equal to Macauley’s review of Berrere, and’ will damn Stanton to an infamy scarcely less deep than that which has overtaken the Frenchman. s ~ Illiteracy in the United States. _The increase in the number of adalt persons-in the United States whio can neither read nor write, is-attracting attentionat present, and furnishes a powerful argu-’ ‘ment to the advocates of ‘the policy of making at least primary education com.pulsory. Thus, in 1840, the number of - adult ‘whites who could neither read nor write amotinted to 549,850, and the same ° class in 1850 had increased to 962,808, and in 1860 to 1,127,580." It is estimatedthat, to the 1,127,580 illiterate white -adults of 1860, must be added 91,736 colored adults, and 1,655,800 adult freedmen, so that the number of persons in this country who can neither read nor write must exceed 2,874,111, and be 've'ry'nearljy three millions.., It is argued that ‘Tepublican institutions depend entirely for their support upon the intelligence of' the masses and upon the strict performance pf thejr: public-duties by the voters,and that the | rights and liberties of the people have no secure. protection when the poor and ignorant are controlga by corrupt 'an__d ambitious politicians, The education of the illiterate, it is therefore - contended, is the only method to be adopted to sectire the permanency of the United States. -

' To do this he must correct the habit of spendingevery week the full week’s earnings. He must begin by saving a little, instead of spending all. Half a dollar will amount to tb’venty:si_;: dollars a year. In-four years this sam ‘will give the sum of over a hundred dollars. In ten years, adding interest to his. savings, the poor man will be. able te buy a little house. If he saves a dollar a’ week instead of a half a dollar, he can have a house twice as large; and larger still in. proportion o the weekly amount of his savings. Who will not be a householder ?

The ;lintchzi!l{n Who Does Not Unfier- . stand the Insarance Business. The Pittsburgh (Pa.) Leader telis a good story of one Schmidt, a Dutcliman - in that city, who took the precaution to insure the life of his wife for §5,000, and his stable for. $6OO, _belie'vign‘g the former-. might die and the latter be burnt, and he could not get along without some compensation for the loss. Both policies had - been taken from the same -agent. In a few months. after ' the stable had ‘been insured it was destroyed by fire. *Schmidt quietly notified the agent, and hinted to him that he should expect the money at - the earliest possible moment. The agent at-once sent ‘a carpénter to ascertain the cast of erccting ‘a new stable of the same dimensions, i_)Cving usce:tni_nefi that the property was insured for more than it was worth, The builder reported thaf he could replace thestable with new material for' 500, but unfortunately thére was an ordinance preventing the créction' of ! frame buildings—the old stable having been of wood. Ile was acked to estimate the cost of a hrick. stablc,”,&nd reporfcd the amount at $750: "The ageént then: notified Schmidt that he would build him a new brick stable in the place of the old* {rame one; but §chmidt became indig- - naut at the proposition, saying, “I do not, uiqderstand «dis insurance bysiness. I’ pay you .for §9OO, and when :iny stabla, burn down you make me a new one. I not want a new stable—l want $000.” ~ The agent reasénad with Schmidt, but all to no purpose.. = o

When the stable was nearly finished, . Schmildt‘;wéut to consult a lawyer, think--ing that he still could get the amount of policy, besides having the new stable.— Thelawyer, however, informed him that - the compan%y had aTight to make good the loss' by building a new stable, and expressed surpfiée at the idea'of bringing ‘& suit against them. PR : “fßuf,’? said Schmidt, “I insure for nine hundred dollars, and dis feller put up dem stable for seven hundred and fifty ; I no urderstand dis insurance business.” Finding that he could not compel the ‘payment by -law, he became disgusted with the insurance business altogether.?- A Calling upon the agent, Schmidt said : “Mr. Agent, T vant you to stop dem insurance on mine frow. I'do not pay more monish that way ; I no understand. dis insurance business. i Agent (surprised)—“Why Mr. Schmidt, you are doing a very foolish thing. - You have 'paid considerable on' this policy already ; and if your wife should die you, will get five thousand dollaty,” i - “Yaw, dat ish what you tell me now,” ’ said Schmidt. - “Vén I pays you on mystable, you say I get nine hundred dollars if it ‘burns down. o it was burn, and you not“give mine monish.] Yousay, Ob, dat was a 4 frame stable—ish .not word any dings!
