A New Way of Not Paying Old
A good story is told in Uhe last number
of Tt'iple of Bar of Balzac,,' th& famous
French, author, who, not unlike many other
literary celebrities, was- often vexed with
duns. Once, when he had gone to bed,
olie.of these unpleasant personages pre
sented himself, and insisted on seeing his
debtor: In vain was he told that M. de
Balzac was ill 4hat he. was out, that he
was' in bed -he refused to budge. At last
the- servant in dt'spair,' told Balzac, who
waidown stairs, and, to his great amaze
ment, received orders to show the importu
nate visitor up. The- tradesmith, already
a little modified, was ushered into the sleep
ing apartment. M.'de Balzac sits up cour
teously in bed, makes his creditor a charm-'
iug bow, and inquires to whatcircumstauce
he may attribute the pleasure of his early
nsit. Flattered, by the warmth or his recep-
tipn,, the fournfsseur murmurs ometbirg
in which the word ''money" is alone audible
VAloney iuy deair"Telldw?'rries the man ?f
letters, with his broad - smile, full of bon-.
hommie, " money'do you want? Look in

The Andre Jlonniueut.
Xeir York World'. I ' i
The suggestion ef Deaji" Stanley that a !
ijinonument should be erected on the-spot j
where Major Andre was hanged, and the I
promise of Cyrus "YV. Field to build such a j
memorial,-have been the subject of some
severe criticism. The sreoeral imnression.
so far as letters to the newspapers give it
expression, is that such a monument would
be an insult to American sentiment." Yet
"lean Stanley was not the first to suggest
a memorial,. nor. was Mr. 1- leid. the hrst to
take action to. mark the' fatal spot. In
'Lossing's j"ieid Book of the Revolution"
yol.II., p. 204, -note)- there is a descrip
tion oifthe place, which is designated by a'j
stone with the inscription : "Andre, .exe
cuted October 2, 1780.' The author adds:
"This stone was, placed there and inscribed
in 1847-by a patriotic merchant ' of New
York. A more elegant nd durable monu
ment should be erected onthe spot." , This
note may sfrve to exonerate Dean Stanley
from the charge of bad taste-and Mr. Field
from the chame of toadyism. If the mo-
tives" of both are honorable, if " the monu
ment furnished by the latter be modest,
and if the inscription prepared bv the for-
jner be characterized . by ' good sense and
xigiu ieenng, mere is no danger that over
zealoas patriots will conspire to pitch the
memorial into the Hudson.

The CjS ay Admiral.
"-Baltimore. Bttllcthi . '-,
Admiral Porter appears in anything but
an enviable light in a batch of letters to ia
-Airs. Wetmore, which have Tecently been
published in connection with a suit for divorce,-
instituted by Mrs.. Wetmore's hus
band. The letters may, of course be for
geries, and we hope they are, for they cer-,
. tainly-reveal a mental and moral condition
on the Admiral's part, of which' we should
not like to believe so distinguished an offi
cer capable, -lie is made, lor instance, ki
one of jlhein 'to speculate , on the probable
early death of his own mother, while in
another he is reported as promising to
disclose to the fair Mrs. Wetmore the
"plans, of a torpedo which will destroy the
whole French navy a government, or -at
any rate a personal secret, whichwould
scarcely be. any the safer in the possession
of a young and, as the narrative .shows, a
rather "dashing" woman. It is onlyfair
to add that the accusitioa wears a suspi-
cious lok of blackmail, and that it is
"claimed by the Admiral's friends to be a
I shrewd attempt in that direction.

Among the Atlanta Christmas episodes
was an. attack on Mr. S. M. Stsall. of the
Constitution, by three men, Tom Thrash,'
Joe Pate and AVilliam Gorman. The at
tack was made because it was reported
that. Mr. Small hati stated that:one Wells,
a brother-in-law of Thrash, had stolen
some cotton just after tlje war, Mr. Small
was knocked down and "badly bruised by
his three assailants, but at. last accounts
was doing will under medical treatment.
MrSmall was unarmed when attacked.
Mr. Thrash publishes a" card in the Con

affair;, was" entirely between himself and
Mr. Small, that no one else interfered, and
that the difficulty would not have occurred
on any other day than Christmas.
