The Public Debt. The public debt statement, which we publish in our telegraphic columns this morning, conveys the gratifying intelligence that the public debt has been reduced over thirteen millions of dollars during the month of May. The taxes have not been increased, but the revenues show a large increase over corresponding weeks last year, which is to be accounted for in the increased efficiency of the new officers. We submit this fact to the consideration of our Democratic friends who are daily declaring that the administration is a failure. The the reduction, in round numbers, is $13,384,777 97.—<IND.

Old Maids

In Packard's Monthly for Kay, Alice Cary discources ably on the subject of Old Maids." She thus gives the experience of one of them "How old were you, my dear, when you lost your lover says a kind. and patronizing matron *to her old maid guest "or, perhaps, it is painful to talk about tho affair?" "Oh, no the pain of the experience has all gone out of my life, it was so long ago. I was only about thirteen when it happened.',' "Poor dear 1 do tell me about it, then it must be very interesting." "Yes, very. Tou see my sweetheart was a green grocer's apprentice—a red cheeked, blue eyed boy, five or six years my senior. I used to bay apples and calamus root of him oa my way to school, and he always gavo me more than my penny's worth and .besides a smile so sweet that I was drowned in it, dead in love every day of my life.

Whon I parted from him to go away to boarding school he kissed me andcallod aie his little vrow I ran away, burning up with blushes, and for three years made his rosy cheeks and blue eyes the inspiration of all my waking hours, tbo grace and glory of all my dreams, I would havo held it as an insult if any one had made so bold as to entreat me to depart from following after him. Well, I came home, somewhere about thirteen, I think, and with my heart fluttering up in my mouth, hastened to have sight and speech of my apprentice. '•There were the old landmarks—the open coal bin, outsido thedoorfrom which the poor people were supplied by the bucket full the fish barrel with one dried mackerel in view, the garlics and potatoes, the spinach and all. There were the dozen brooms swinging before tho open door—they used to seem a veritable crimson curtain to my eyes as I parted thim, and were a trifle more liko red broom-corn now, but still I parted them with eagor h&nds and went in". "Two little blue eyes no bigger than beads looked strangely at me out of the collops of fat in wnich they were imbedded, and a bearded man too big for his wristbands, and with a faca red and mot. tied to the likeness of a dirty copper kettle, asked me gruffly wbat I wanted, evidently voxed at the interruption, for he was measuring soft soap. "Three cents' worth of calamus,' I said still hoping against hope. "At's all—any more have bea-nuts?" "Agocd deal discouraged I nodded assont. He took up a small tin measure, and partly filling it, said: "Bea-nuts is bea-nuts now tays ,we bays hizer as tollar sometime.'

Adventure of a Boston Man on a Mississippi hteamboatCorrospokicnco of tho Boaton Traveler.]

At Helena, Ark., the Boston man sloped arid took another boat for Fort Pillow.— Oa this boat was a mulatto man who had been an orderly sergeant- in the Federal army and.weu quite intelligent, and gave the Boston man a great deal of information about tho battle of Port Hudson. The mate of the boat abused all tho men, and was constantly pulling them about and cursing them in a most disgusting manner. At laet, for some negloct of duty or failure to comprehend bis commands, tho mate got exceedingly augry with the mulatto, and seizing a window eash filled with glass an eighth of an inch thiek, he raised it to strike the mulatto. Th° latter dodged the blow and ran up the gangway, and, backing into a corner nosr the Boston man, entreated the male not to strike him "wid dat glass." Tho mate rushed at him like a demon, and with one stroke smashed the sash and glass over the offending man's head, cutting huge gashes in his cheeks and forehead, and rendering him foramomont sonseless. The mate again lifted the remnant of the sash over his head for another blow, when the Boston man caught the sash from behind, saying nt the same time, coolly: "Don't you strike that man again "Who'-in the devil are you? almost screamed the angry man "No matter don't you strike that man again 'i'By—I'll shoot h—i out of you, you i——said tho mate, pulling out his re volver and shaking it in tbe faco of the

Boston man. "You know, sir, that yon dare not shoot mo,'' said the latter coolly, "so put up your revolver."

By this time a crowd had gathered around, and '.'shoot him," "shoot him," echoed on overy side. The BoBton man learned afterward that there was not a Northern man on the boat. "Shoot him, by or I will," exclaimed a littlo short man on one side of the crowd. "Lei's a'.l have a hack at him," said another, and in an instant no less than tweivo pistols or revolvers wero displayed. "He's a cussed Yankoo. I know his phiz. He's down here proachin' insurrection among tho niggers. Shoot him, rnatn, or we will." "So ho, so ho," sneered tho Yankee, "things have changed since the war, somewhat, I guess. Now, gentlemen, I seo it takes twelve Southerners to shoot ono unarmod Yankee." 3}his set them on fire, one burley fellow cocked his revolver, saying, "if the mate was a d—d coward he was not afraid to shoot any Yankee in the country.1' Just then a lady, who was evidently of Northern birth, came up to the crowd, and putting out both of her index fingers toward them, made an awful scowl, and exclaimed: "S-h-a-m-e, s-h-a-m-e on you. Twelve stout men attack an unarmed man with revolvers! Shame, shame."'

All of the party, including the mate, began to look sheepish, and as the captain came rushing up to the spot, they slunk away. The mate, however, muttered something about "seeing his man" again. "The lady had disappeared in the mean time, olberwise y°ur man might have been induced to marry her on the spot.

When the excitement had somewhat abated, the captain asked the Boston man wbat was the matter It was explained to him, together with tho information that a complaint would ba lodged agaiost tho assailants at the next landing.' This information was communicated doubtless to them, for, after supper, one came up to the Boston man and offered his hand, saying: "Stranger, we're kind o'shamed o'that ore affair a little while ago. Come, let's licker, and call 'em a draw game. What

SNOOKS.

Snooks bas an Interview with Woman's Bights Advocate—They Haye a Prolonged Debate—His Bellec tlons Thereon.

I was sittin' in my office! Speculatin' in my own mind whether on the whole it wouldn't be best for me to give myself away for the benefit of my family, when there came a knocking at the door.

There, says I, is some one anxious to subscribe for the El Paso Journal,so 1 ut tered in a loud voice, "Come in."

She was dressed in a pair of store boots and an iron gray set of spectacles, and she walked up to me with majesty in her mean. I knew who it was the minute I set eyes on her. ,!mjf ,,a

It was a woman. «*-s "o I gracefully arose and said, "How are you, maam, was you wishin' to subscribe to the El Paso Journal?" at the same time dippin' my pen in the ink and openin' my subscription book. This alwus gits 'em. It looks like bizness.

It didn't git her. Shefixed her gl assy eyes on mo and said: "Young man, air yew an advocate for the holy caws of Woman's Bights?" "No maam, said I," "I'm a presbyteri an." ,. "Air you prepared to embark with as over the sea of equal suffrage she said. "Maam," said I, "I haint no objection to taken' a quiet sail with you, provided the boat aint leaky and you'll do all the rowin'"

A smile perused her features for a moment, and then she said, "I am willing to or a "Yes," said I, in a polite and soffehin manner, "It'll only costs $2, an'we'll send it to any address for an entire year. "Hev you a wife," she asked. "I hev," said I, wonderin' what she was comin' at. "So that yew seal could n't marry yew ef I wunted too ever so much." I threw this in as a soother. "Air you willin' that she should share with you the burdens and trials of life?" "I ain't noways pertickler," said I, "and' I'll let her shoulder the whole of 'em if she has a hankerin' that way.: "Wood you consent that she should go to the poles said she. "She can go where she pleases," said I "She ginneraly duz." "Yew air a bole souled man," said she, and throwin' her arms around my oeek, laft wildly, "Git out," said I what air ye.up to? I ain't one of them men. Stop."

After much labor I succeeded in unloosening her hold and sit her down in a chair. I judged from her conduct that she stood in need of a few moral observations. "Too air an impulsive femail," said I. "Yoor nature is at once spontaneous and outbreakin'. You need a pair of martingails. Consider what would be yoor state ef a man's wife was to patch yoo a huggin' of him in this style."

She wiped her face with her dress. She hed on a dress. I forgot to mention this fact in speakin ef the spectacles. "I am a worker in thecaws of Women's Bights." "Yes," said I, "yoo air. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. I should judge yoo was one of them lobby wimmen that the Chicago Tribune correspondent tells of. But you can't come your nefarious arts over me. I'm stealed against 'em."

I should be pleased,'" she said, :to go arm in arm with jou to the poles." "No yoo dont," said I, in alarm "not ef I hev anything to say in the matter. I won't go with yon—not a single darned pole." "Young man," said she, _iifeast_»thou children "I hev," said I, "seven of 'em^ Can yoo show as good a record "Woodyou,-' said she.^hev your girls grow up and be married to base, sordid men, who would take away their political allnw 'asm flrt fr«nrhtilM TJ
