we pay six per
cent for our money abroad is that we have fallen into a habit of universal slander. We degrade ourselves, de» fame our country, trifle Bwitli our credit, call upon the. world to eee what rascals and knaves we are, aud then marvel that the world should take us at our word and charge us more for money thau nations with-* out a half of our resources. We shall strengthen our credit when we protect our self-respect.
What he says of tho credit of the whole country in tho European money centers, is preeminently true of the West and its credit with the capitalists of the East. In times past the West has borrowed much money. At the present day it is a large borrower. For the future it is reasonable to expect that it will find its fullest and best development by continuing a borrower. Americans are not content as a rule to wait upon the slow results of labor for accumulations sufficient to carry on enterprises on a cash basis. If buildings, manufactories, or, in. deed anything will pay if established immediately, they bor. row the money, to inaugur ate the enterprise. For the future we must be a larger borrower than we have been in tha past if we are to continue the develop the country With, the same nervous energy that has characterized us heretofore. There can be no doubt of this. And yet we are pursuing a policy as a people the inevitable result of which ifcust ba to impede our progress. We talk about violating our obligations, abuse
I-
our creditors as swindlers and thieves and generally by our oondust convey the impression that we wiil efcape the psiymeriiS of our de'its if WP can possibly devise any plan. Fortunately our laws are such as to prevent us from accomplishing a design so discreditable to U3, Our talli can accomplish nothing. By it we cannot escape a dollar of our indebtedness. Wo win tlie reputation of being slippery customers with none of the tnaerial gtin which usually accompanies successful knavery. The result is that without in any way diminishsna: the burden of our past indebtedness we injure our credit and for the future make it impossible to negoti* ate loans without paying a higher rate than would bo requisite if our credif was unimpaired. There ia noih. iug either new or strange in this An enlightened self iutere?t makes this explicable to the meanest comprehension. A merchant either ill tell at all on credit to a customer with a reputation for avoiding the payment.-) of his debts or if lie does he add* to the price of his goods a sum suflicient to reimburse him for the risk he runs. If a capitalist is approached for a loan by a yeutlem:iu whose reputation is that of persou who will only pay to the sheriff, he will either not loan to him at all or will charge him a higher rate to cover the additional risk. This is natural. Every man who reads this article would do likewise, if he were a capitalist, and approached by a person of that character. By our iniuterminable twaddle here in Indiana abou increasing the issue of greenbucks, and making them a legal tender for all debts public and private,— talk which means partial repudiation if auythiug—we do not e.-cape the .yment of a dollar, for the principles of common justice, staud b«tween us and tlie accomplishment ot
BO oa.se a purpose aud, only make it harder for future loans to be nesouated. Iu a word we cut o(!'our -.e to spite our face.

His Wonderful Escap:. Mark Twain contributes tne following to Tom Hood's Annual:
Tno only turrit clam lor llie lollovviug narrative is that il is a true SLory. It has amoral on ti.e end oi it, but I claim nothing on that, aa it is uifciei^ throwu in to curry favor with tho religious clement.
Alter I had reported a couple of year3 ou the Virginia (Jity (Nev.) Daily linterprise ttiej promoted me to bo Edit-or-iu-Cbief aud I lasteu juat. a w«ou_jby the watch. But 1 made au.uncommonly lively uewspaper while I aid lust, and when I retired had a duel on my handi- and three horsewhippiugs promjlUo iaLter I made no attempt to collect novvover, this story cono rns oniy the loruier. Jit w.ts tno old "llusn timest" ot the silver excitement, when the population was wonderfully vviM and mixed everyoody wont armed to tbo tutot-ii, uuel «n nil^uts ami insults had to bt atoned lor with the best article of blood your system could furnish. In tho course or my euitiug I made trouble with a Mr. Lord, the oditor ol a rival paper. He flew up about some little trilio or other that 1 said about aim—I do not remember now wnat It was. I suppose 1 ca.led him a thief or a body-snatcher, or an idiot, or something like that I was obliged to make the paper readaole, and I couldn lail in my duty to a whole community ol subscribers merely to save tho ex"aagerated sensitiveness or an individual. M/.Lurd Was offended, and replied vigorously in his paper. Vigorously means a great deal when it refers to a personal editorial ia a irontier newspaper. Dueling was all the l«ish-
IOU among the upper classes in mat country, aud very lew gentlemen would throw away the opportunity oi lighting oue. To kill one man in a uuel, caused a mau to oe even more looked up to thau to kill two meu iu the ordinary way. Weil, out there it you abused a man and that man did not liko it, you had to call him out aud kill him, otherwise you would be disgraced. So I chaliauged Mr. Lord, and I did hope he would not accept but I knew perfectly well that h® om not want to fi^bt, so I challenged him in the most violent and implacable manner. Aud then I sat down
Juat at that moment a little bird no larger than a sparrow flew by and lit on a bush about SO pace? nwuy, and my little second, Steve Gills, who wasa dead shot with a stol—much belter than I was—snatched out, I'is r-volver and shot the bird's heai oflfl We a. I ran to pick up tbe game, and snro onough, just ar this o^ent, suuie of the other duelists imo veconm itericg over the little ridge. They ran to our croup to see what the in ittGr was. and when they saw tbo biid, Lord's second s-iid: "That was a spleudid shot. How far off was it?"
aua
snuffed and suutfed till the ausvvor came. All the boys—the editors—wenJ iu the oftice "helping" me in the dismal business, and telling about the duela and discussing the code with a lot of aged ruffians, who bad experience in such matters, and altogether there was a loving interest taken iu the matter that made tne unpseakably uncomfortable. The answer came—Mr. Lord declined. Our boys were furious, and so was Ion the surface.
I sent him another challenge, and another, and the more be did not want to tight the more bloodthirsty I became. But at last the man's tone began to change. He appeared to be waking up. It was becoming apparent that he was going to fight me after all, I Ought to have known how it would bv, —he was a man who could never be depended upon. Our boys were jubilaui. I was not, though I tried hard to be. it was now time to go out and practice. It was the custom there to tight duels with navy six shooters at fifteen paces-load and empty till the game for the funeral was secure. Ws went to a ravine just out of town, and borrowed a b.»ru door for a target—borrowed it from a gentleman who was absent—and we stood his barn door up, and stood a rail on the end against the middle of it to represdut Lord, and put a squash on top of tho rail to represent the head He was a very tall, lean creature, the poorest sort of material tor a duel uothiug but a line shot could letch him and even then he might have split your bullet. Exaggeration aside, the rail was, of course, a little too thin to rep» resent the body accurately, but the squash was all right. If there was any intellectual difference between the squash and. his head it was in favor of the squash.
W« li, 1 practiced and practiced at the barn door aud could not hit it and 1 practiced at the rail and could not hit that and I tried lor the squash and could not hit that. I would have been entirely disheartened but that occasionally I crippled one of the boys, and that gave mu. hope.
At last we began to hear pistol shots near by in the next ravine. We knew wi.at that meant! The other party was out practicing too. Then I was ia the last degree distressed, for,of course, they would hear our shots aud tbfcu send over the ridge, and the spies ou id find my barn door without a wound or a mark, and that would 6imply be an end to tne for of course the other man would immediately become as bloodthirsty as I was.
Sieve said with some difference: "Oh, no great distance. About. 30 pacen." "Thirty paces! Heavens alive! Who did it?" "My man—Twain." •'Tne mischief he did! Can ho do it often?'. "Well, yos. He can do it about iour times out of five."
I knew the li'tlo rascal was lying, but I never said anything. I tiev^r told bun so. He was not ol a disposition to invite confidences ot tht\ kind, so I let the matter rest. But it was a coualort to set* ti.oso people look ck, ami let their jaws drop when St ve uiade that statement. The.y went off and j:ot Lord and took i.im ome: wh.-n we got homo halt an hour l.iu r, there was a noie sa.\ing that Mr. Lord p--rempior ilv declined to fl^l-it. "Wo found out alterward that Lord hit his inaik thiiti eu times in eighteen shots—if ho bad f1'. thoHO thirteen builets into me it woui have narrowed iny sphere of uselulne&s a good deal. True they could have put pegs in the hoies ai'd used o.e lor a hat ricU but wha't is a iint rack to a ni who feels he has intellectual powers,?
I have written ibis true incident of toy historv for ouo purpose only—to rn the youth of to-dav against the practice ot duelling, and to plead with them against it. I w.s young and foolish when I challenged the gentle-' man, and thought it, verv grand and fine to be a duelist and stand upon the "lit Id of honor."' But I am older and more experienced now, and auj inflexibly opposed to the dreadful custom. I am glad, indeed, to be enabled to lilt up my voice a^aiust it. 1 think ic is a bad, immoral Ibiu^. It is every man's itu!y to do all ho can to discourage dueling.
If a man were to challenge me I would go to that mau aud tnke him by tbo hand and lead him to a retired room—and kill him.

with a terrible roar, in a solid mass, twenty ieet high. Trie first in the line of the sweeping flood was tho stone gate house when tho flood siruck this it tottered, th«u the keystone of the arch dropped out a corner of tho building next gave way, followed by a a wooden roof, which was swept onward until drawn into a whiiipool, wheu it was crushed into matchwoou, and thrown iutj the air. The gate house was tipped over bodily, and not oven a stone of it remaiued. Down through a narrow lavine a hundred feet wide and one mile long the flood swept ou the sides were finally uu,. out clean iu an iustant for iiity feor, until the edge of the embankment was almost perpeud cular.

Wnen tue dam first broke, the gap was about twenty feet in width. This increased rapidly after tho water had once gained a passago through, and it. continued to increase until nearly the entire seciiou, which was eignt ieet in width, hau been destroyed. The raviue being narrow, however, held the water bacK,aud tLe water continued to ruu for turee hours betoro the reservoir was exhausted, and the worst of the danger, at Cherry valley, the firSL viliiage encountered, was over. A small cottagD stood bn the opposite side of the road irom Mr. Oluey'* this Was taken up whole and whirled around on the surface like a topi and then down into tho water. Three or four other small

Soon an explosion was heard above the roar ot the flood, and a stream of water was thrown several leet above th* surf ce of the current. Another explosion followod, and another, until live had occurred, and the boiler was blown to pieces. Mr Jones also lost a large barn which was crushed like an egg shell.

Smith & Co's. woolen mill stood at the head of this pond,_ iu front of it was a dam which had withstood many a severe test, but it crumbled under the immense pressure brought udou it, gave way, and the waters of the pond were added to tho already uncontrollable mass. The wall a substantial brick structure, was next struck, and crumbled until three-f urih of the building was in ruins. aLd the water was sweeping through what was left standing. A short distance below was a battling mill, operated by E. Smith this was a wooden structure about fifty feet square, which stood be• low a dam which held the waters of the pond above.
