Bishop Potts, of Salt Lake City, was the bnsband of three wives, aud the happy father of fifteen in-teresting children. Early in the winter tho Bishop tleteruiiued that his little ones should have a good time on Christmas, so he concluded to take a trip drown to San Fran-cisco to see what he could find iu the shape of toys with which to gratity aud amuse them. The good Bishop packed his carpet bag, em-braced Mrs. Potta one by one, and kissed each of her affectionately aud started upon his journey. He was gone a little more than a week, wheu he came back with tif-1 teen beautiful month organs in his valise Cor his darlings. He K«t out of the traiu at Salt Lake, thinking how joyous and exhilarating it would be at home on Christinas morning wheu the whole fifteen of those mi HI tii 01 cans should lie in operation upon different tunes at the satne moment. But just as he entered the depot he saw a group of women standing in the ladies' room, apparently waiting for him. As soon as lie approached, the whole twenty of them rushed up, threw their arms about his neck and kissed him, exclaiming : '•Oh, Theodore, we are so-glad you have come back ! Welcome home! Welcome, dear, dear Theo-dore ! Welcome once more to the. bosom of your family!" and then the entire score of them fell upon his neck and cried over his shirt front and mussed him. The Bishop seemed surprised and embarrassed. Struggling to disengage himself, he blushed aud said: "Really, ladies, this kind of thing soothed the children. It occurred to the Bishop while he mused out there on the fence, that he had not enough mouth organs to go around among the children as the family now stood; and so, rather than seem to be partial, be determined to go back to San Francisco for one hundred and forty-four more. So the Bishop re-packed his car-pet bag and begau again to bid farewell to his family. He ■ tender-ly kissed all of Mrs. Potts who were at home, and started for the depot, while Mrs. Potts stood at the vari-ous windows and waved her hand-kerchief at him—all except the woman with the warm hair, aud she, in a state of absentmindedness, held one of the twins by the leg and brandished it at him as he fled down the streets. The Bishop reached San Francis-co, completed his purchases, and was just about to get on the train with his one hundred and forty-fonr mouth organs, when a telegram was hand him. It contained infor-mation to the effect that the au-bnru- baired Mrs. Potta had just had a daughter. This induced the Bishop to return to the city for the purpose of purchasing the addition-al organ. On Ihe following Saturday he re-turned liome. An he approached his house, a swarm of young cnil dren flew out of the front gate aud ran toward him, shoutiug: "There's pa I Here comes pa !— Oh, pa, but we're glad to see you! Bally for vm !" etc. The Bishop looked at the chil-dren as they flocked aroutid him and clnng to bis legs and coat tail, and was astonished to perceive that they were neither his nor the late Brown's. He said : "You youngsters have made a mistake; I am not your lather," antl the Bishop smiled good-natur-edly. "Oh, yes, you are, though!" — screamed the little ones iu a gener al chorus. "But I say I'm not," said the Bishop, severely, and frowning ;— "you ought to be ashamed of your-selves. Don't you know where the little story-tellers go i It is scan-dalous for yon to violate the truth in this manner. My name is Potts." train and walked back to San Francisco. He afterward took the first steamer to Peru, where he en-tered a monastery and became a celibate. His carpet-bag was sent on to his family. It contained the bal-ance of the month organs. On Christmas morning they were dis-tributed, and in less than an hour the entire two hundred and eight children were sick from sucking the paint off them. A doctor was called, and be seemed so much in-terested in the family that Brig-ham divorced the whole concern from old Potts and annexed it to the doctor, who immediately lost his reason, and would have Encourage Tour Mechanics. The Atlanta. Conitit%tvm has the following on this subject, which ia full of good sense,and we commend it to our people. Oor mechanics are one of the most useful and in-dustrious classes ot our people, and do us much,or more, towards build-ing our city than »ny other : Do not send abroad for help; if you have work to do, when it can be done in yonr own town. Eu-courage your own honest, indus-trious, faithful mechanics. They need all the work they can get.— By such a course you keep money at home, assist the worthy, and have just as good work performed. It is the way to make your town prosper—to support your own schools, churches and press. Where there is a disposition to send a hun-dred miles for an article that, to say the least, could be manufactur-ed as well at your own door, there ! will always be little or no business ; done in that place. The churches will be thinly attended and all kinds of labor extremely dull.— Wherever machanics are the best »uum u.iki- butch-eredthe entire family if the «_. i employed, prosperity is seen ; the haired woman aud the oldest boy had uot marched him off to a Inna tic asylum, where he spent his time trying to arrive at an estimate of the number of his children by cy-phering with an impossible combi-nation ot the multiplication table and algebra. social virtues predominate, and kindly, brotherly feeling is experi-enced, which is the source of uu speakable happiness. Whatever you have to be done, look around and see if your me- ' chanics cannot do it. If you have a bouse to build, or a shoe to tap, or a saddle to be made, tiu ware to : mend, a house to paint, or a pack of cards to print, just look among your home folks before you send 1 abroad, and if there are none in town capable of doing the task, it will be time enough to look else-where. It ia a wrong idea to think nothing is serviceable that is made at home We know of many an in-stance where men have refused to purchase work made by their neighbor, and sent to a distant city for the articles which they needed, and paid a third more for them, when behold they have been manu- > factured aud sent away to sell by the same neighbors of whom they refused to purchase. Let the motto of all be, "I will encourage my own mechanics." In i turn you will be encouraged also — A mutual feeling of good will and kindness will spring up in your midst, and prosperity will bo ob- 1 servable iu every street and in every dwelling.

"We know it, we know it, dear-est," they exclaimed in chorus, "and we are so glad to see you safe, safe at home. We have all been right well while you were away, love." "It gratifies me," remarked the Bishop, "to learn that none of you have been a prey to disease. I am filled with blissful aereuity when I contemplate the fact; but really I do not understand why yon should rush into this railway statiou and hug me because your livers are ac-tive and your digestion genx!. The precedent is bad ; aud it is danger-ous!" "Oh, but we didn't!" they ex-claimed iu chorus. "We came here to welcome you because you are our husband." "Pardon me, but there must be some little—that is to say, as it were, I should think not. Women, you have mistaken your man !" "Oh, no, dearest!" they shouted, ■'we were married to you whilo you were away." "What!" exclaimed the Bishop, "you dou't mean to say that—" "Yes, love. Our husband, Wil-liam Browu, died ou Monday, and on Thursday Brighatn had a vision in which he was directed to seal us to you ; aud so he performed the ceremony at once by proxy." "Th th-th-th th-thii-thuiider!" ob-served the Bishop, in a general sort of way. "And, darling, we are all living with you now—we aud the dear children.'' "Children ! children !" exclaimed Bishop Potts, turning pale ; "you don't mean to say that there is a pack of children, too f" "Yes, love ; but only one hun-dred and twenty five, uot couutiug the eight twins aud the triplets." "Wha-wua-wba-whatil'yoii say f gasped the Bishop, in a cold per-spiration ; "one hundred and twen ty-five ! One hundred and twenty-five children aud twenty more wives! It is loo much—it is aw-ful '." and the Bishop sat down and groaned,while the late Mrs. Brown, the bride, stood around in a semi-circle and fanned him with her bonnets, all except the red-haired one, and she, iu her trepidation, made a futile effort to fau him with the coal-scuttle. But after awhile the Bishop be-came reconciled to his new alliance, knowing well that protests would be unavailing; so he walked home, holding as many of the little hands of the bride as he could convenient-ly grasp in his, while the red-haired woman carried his umbrella aud marched iu front of the parade to remove obatrnctiona and to scare off small boys. When the Bishop reached the house be went ronnd among the cradles which filled the back parlor and the two second-story rooms, so is ours; that is, our name, too since the wedding." ••Since what wedding 1" demand-ed the Bishop, turning pale. "Why, ma's wedding, of course. She was married yesterday to you by Mr. Young, and we are all liv-ing at your house now with our uew little brothers aud sisters." The Bishop sat down ou the pavement and wiped away a tear. Then he asked : "Who was your father f "Mr Simpson," said the crowd ; "and he died on Tuesday." "Aud how many of his infernal old widows—I mean how many of your mothers are tlafre f "Only twenty-aeven," replied the childreu, "and there are only sixty-four of us, aud wo are awful glad you have come home " The Bishop did not seem unusu-ally glad; somehow he failed to enter into the enthusiasm of the oc-casion. There appeared to be, in a certain sense, too much sameness about these surprises, so he sat there with his hat pulled over his eyes aud considered the situation. Fmaliy. seeing that there was no help lor it, be went to the house, and forty eight of Mrs. Potts rush ed upon him, and told him how the prophet had had another vision in which he was commanded to seal Simpson's widows to Potts. Then thellishop stumbled around among the eradles to his writing desk, where he felt among the gum rattle for his letter-paper, aud then addressed a note to Brigham, ask-iug him MS a personal favor to keep awake until alter Christmas. "The man must take me for a foundling hospital," he said. Then the Bishop saw clearly enough that if he gave presents to the other children and uot to the late Simpson's, the bride (relict of Simpson) would probably souse down ou bim, fumble among his hair and make things warm for him. So re-packing his carpet-bag, he started again for San Francisco for sixty-four more mouth-organs, while Mrs. Potts gradually took leave of him in the entry—all but the red-haired woman, who was up stairs, and who had to be satisfied with a screeching good-bye at the top of her voice. Ou his way homo after his last visit to San "Francisco, the Bishop sat in ihe car by the side of a man who had left Salt Lake City the day before. The strauger was com-municative. Iu the course of the conversation he remarked to the Bishop: ,. ^ "That was a mighty pretty little affair np there at the city ou Mon-day" "What affair f asked Potta. "Why, that wedding; McGrath s widow, you know—married by "You dou't say so," replied the Bishop. "I didn't know that Mc- Grath was doad." "Yes; died on Sunday, and that night Brigham had a vision in which he was ordered to seal herjto the Bishop." What "Credit MobiUer" Means. A correspondent asks the mean-ing of the words "Credit Mobilier." (Several Congressmen have asked the same question.) We presume he wishes to be informed concern-ing the original derivation aud use of the term. We will endeavor to explain it. The "Credit Fonder" has long been the general title iu France for associations that ad-vance money on lauded or immova-ble securities. The "Credit Mobil-ier" was the name given to a pow-erful corporation, organized in France in 1852,for advancing money on movable property. The name was adopted evideutly with the purpose of affording a ready defini-tion of the object of the association. The "Societe Generate de Credit Mobilier" became a great aud profi-table enterprise It bad special privileges under its charter. It as-sisted materially iu the construe-1 tiou of railways and the promotion Vaccination. of mining schemes.

While it was manifestly the means of doing much good in France, it eventually failed. The introduction of tho terms "Credit Foncier" antl "Credit Mo bilier" into America are due to Mr. George Francis Train. He estab Foncier" witl The following propositions are of-fered as matters of belief, aud some of them as matters of recoru : 1st. Without vaccination, one death in ten from all cases would be the result of small-pox. 2nd. Without vaccination nine-teen out of twenty would have small pox. 3rd. Without vaccination, sixty- ^whierTMr-nwlSl •=■"l~2«=»-* Omaha lands, pox would lie tatal about the country some years ago. He gave the name of "Credit Mo-bilier of America" to a corporation with universal privileges, which was organized in Pennsylvania.— It was appropriated by Messrs. Oakes Ames, Duraut & Co. to serve as the party ol the third part in the famous "triplicate agreement," by which the managers of the Union Pacific Railioad let out the con tract of building the road lo them-selves, in payment lor which they modestly took the road itself, all the United Stales bouds, all the first-mortgage bonds, etc., at a prof-it of over 1,000 per cent, on an en-tirely fictitious Capital This is what "Credit Mobilier" means, in the modern American and Congres-sional use of the word. The title is not inappropriate. The transac-tion was literally a Credit on mova-bles— the United States Govern-ment furnishing the credit and the money, and Messrs. Oakes Ames & Co. taking the movables—that is, the securities and the profits.—Chi-cago Tribune. Domestic Happiness. Sir Samuel Romilly in his auto-biography gives a touchiug picture of his domestic happiness. He says •'lor the past fifteen years my hap-piness has been the constant study of the most excellent of wives; a woman in whom a strong under-standing, the noblest and most ele-vated sentiments, and the most courageous virtue are united to the warmest affection, and to the ut-most delicacy of mind and heart ;— aud all these intellectual perfec-tions are graced by the most splen-did beauty that human eyes ever beheld." Romiily's affection aud admiratiou for this uobls woman endured to the eud, and wheu she died the shock proved gieater than his sensitive nature could bear.sleep left his evelids, his mind became unhinged, and three days after her death the sail event occurred w4ich brought his own valuable lifewo a close. ____^^___ An editor asked his subscribers to pay him that he might play the same'joke on his creditors. 4th. With vaccination, not two per cent, of the persons will take the small-pox. 5th. With vaccination, the per centago of death from smallpox is only about eight of the two [icr cent, who will take it. Cth. A larger per centage of those who have had small pox will have the secondary disease than those who have been vaccinated. This is to say, vaccinia is a better preven-tion of varioloid than smallpox is. "th. Humanized virus is more likely to take than the origiual vi ins from the cow. 8th. Humanized virus, whether it takes or uot, does not produce such severe constitutional ay tap toms as primary cow virus doea. 9tb. It is not proved that either humanized virns or primary cow virus is the better in its protective effects. ___a 10th.

The taking of small-pox after vaccination is no proof that a second vaccination would have suc-ceeded. 13th. A successful re vaccina-tion is no proof that the individual re-vaccinated would have taken small pox. Computing" Interest. We give a rule for computing in-tere8t, and it is so simple that every banker, broker, merchant or clerk, should post it up for reference.— There being no such thing as a fraction in it, there is scarcely any liability to error or mistake. By no other arithmetical process can the desired information be obtained by so few figures : Six Per cent.—Multiply any giv-en number ot dollars bv the num-ber of days of iuterest Besired, and divide by sixty, the result is the true interest on such sum for ruch number of days, at six i>er ceut. Eight Per fait—Multiply any-given amount by the number ot days upon which it is desired to as-the interest, and divide by Making a Fortune. BY MARK TWAIN. Samuel McFadden was a watch-man in a bank. He was poor, bnt honest, and his life was without re-proach. The trouble with him was that he felt that he was not appre-ciated. His salary was bnt four dollars a week, and when he asked to have it raised, the president, cashier and the board of directors, glared at him through their specta-cles, and frowned ou bim, and told him to go out aud stop- bis inso-lence, when be knew business was dull, and the bank could not meet its expenses now, let alone lavish ing one dollar ou such a miserable worm as Samuel McFadden. And then Samual McFadden felt de-pressed, sad, aud the haughty scorn of the president and the cashier cut him to the soul. He would often go into the side yard, and bow his venerable twenty-four iuch head, and weep gallons and gallons ot tears over his insignificance, and pray that he might be made worthy of the cashier's and president's po-lite attention. One night a happy thought struck him, a gleam of light bnrst upon him, aud gazing down the dim vista of years with his eyes all blinded with joyous tears, be saw himself rich and respected. So Samuel McFadden fooled around aud got a jimmy, a monkey-wrench, a cross-cut saw, a cold chisel.a drill, and a-boat a ton of powder and nitro glyc-erine, and those things. Then in the dead of night he weut to the fire-proof safe, and after working at it for a while, burst the door and brick into an immortal smash, with such a perfect suc-cess that there was uot enough of that safe left to make a carpet tack. Mr. McFadden then proceeded to load up with coupons, greenbacks, currency aud specie, and to nail all the old change that was lyiug any-where, so that he pranced out ot the bank with over a million ot dollars on bim. lb then ietired to au un-assuming residence out ot town,ami then sent word to the detectives where he was. A detective called on him the uext day, with a soothing note from the cashier. McFadden treated it with lofty scorn. Detectives called on him every day, with humble notes from the presideut, casheir and board of directors. At last the bank officer got up a magnificent private supper, to which Mr. Mc- Fadden was invited. He came, and as the bank officers bowed down in the dust before him he pondered well over the bitter past, and his soul was tilled with exultation. Before he drove away iu his carri-age that night it was fixed that Mr. McFadden was to keep half a million of that money, aud to be un-molested if he returned the other hall. Ho fulfilled his contract like an honest man, but relused with haughty disdain the offer of the cashier lo marry his daughter. Mae is now honored and respect ed. He moves iu Ihe best society. He browses around in purple and fine linen anil other good clothes, anil enjoys himself first rate. And olten now he lakes his infant son OU his knee and trlls him of his early lile, and .instills holy princi-ples into the child's mini, and shows him how, by industry and [>erscverancc, and frugality, and ni-tro glycerine, and monkey-wrench-es, and cross-cut saws, aud familiar-ity with Ihe detective system, even tile poor may rise to affluence and respousibilty. rMstteAssMTiUsl Tobaooo InUro-t at Ws*t«rn North Oaroliaa The following is iu reeypon-e to a note of inquiry addressed oy ■• to Mr. 8. C. Bhelton, and old Virgin-ia farmer and tobaeeo niter aod manufacturer, who now resided near this place: ABHEYILLB, N. O Jan. 13th, 1873. Meun. RoUint 4 Aw ; GBHTLBMXN.—At your request I make the following statement in re-gard to the tobacco interest in Wes-tern North Carolina. In the year I860 I commenced the enterprise by planting about two acres on my farm near this place. The quality was good, and the crop equal in quantity to the new land of Vir-ginia. The next year, 1870,1 planted a-bont 30 acres and other gentlemen of enterprise also planted small crops. The yield for the connty that year was about 50,000 pound*. This I bought and it was manfao-lured and sold in the same markets and in competition with the stock produced in Virginia, and the old tobacco counties ot this State. A sample of my own crop of that year was exhibited at the State Agri-cultural fair aud was awarded first premium. The next year, 1871, my crop a-mounted to 40,000 (lorty thousand pounds,) while others as far as I could ascertain to about 200,000 pounds. Samples of my crop and that of Mr. W. B. Smith's were exhibited at the Richmond Va.? Fair, and took Ihe two first premiums offered by the Yirgiuia State Agricultural Society. I shipped alwnt 130,000 pounds of the crop of 1871, to parties in Virginia and manufactured about 40,000. The rest was bought and manufactured by other parties. From the best information I can get, there is half million pounds for sale now, in the counties of Bun-combe and Madison alone, the pro-duction of last year, 1872. The quality is excellent, and for tho most part will bring a good price. The counties of Cherokee, Macon, &c, all West of Asheville, as well as part of Yancey, are aa well adap-ted to the production of this staple, as Bnncomlie and Madison, and perhaps better, and there are thous-ands upon thousands ot acres in each of these counties, of as fine to-bacco land as I ever saw iu Virgin-ia, aud when ouce developed will be a source of untold wealth to Western North Carolina. I am rery truly yours, 8AMTJEL C. SHELTON. The Richest Boy in America. The late Edwin A. Stevens in-vested largely in real estate in Ho-taken. The increased value of that propci t y has made his son immense-ly wealthy: The boy docs not aecm to realize that be ia heir to an estate worth $40,000,000, aud that in four years more he will probably be the richest man iu the world. When he reaches his majority, the interest on his fortune will amount to a larger sum than the salary of any crowned head in Eu-rope. It would be realy difficult to compote what the Stevens estab-lishment is worth in five years more A large number of leases of valua-ble houses and lots at nominal rents, will then revert to young Stevens, and he will be the sole possessor of bonds and other secu-rities which are now valued at t4,- 000,000. Should he live to the age of his father, and he be as lucky iu his ventures, his wealth will be greater than Roschilds'. The lad however, seems to be unconscious of his destiny. He may be seen daily playing in front of the castle where his father passed his mature life.—Trade Journal. The Prenoh Heir. Though the sceptre be now a phantom, sacred precedent requires that the real bauds to grasp that shadow must be duly designated.— It is not likely, however, that any deviation will be made from tho line of imperial descent established long ago, by the mushroom Empe-ror By the pleibucite of November, 1872, the imperial dignity conferred on Louis Napoleon was declared hereditary iu his direct and legiti-mate heirs; by a lenattu ootuultum, adopted iu December of that year, Priuce Jerome Nai»oleon was de-clared tho legitimate heir to the throne, in default of other issue.— Tho son of Napoleon III, the Prince Imperial, was born iu 1856 and be-came heir to the dignities of his lather. By the xrnattu cotuultUM adopted April, 1870, as careful pro-vision was made for the succession as if the Empire was a permanent institution. It was decreed that the imperial descent should be from male to male of Napoleou's legiti-mate heirs, iu the order of primo-geniture- Napoleon could adopt the children and legitimate descend-ants in the male line of the brothers of Napoleon I., in default of male heirs ; and, in default of legitimate or adopted heirs, Priuce Jerome and his male heirs were to succeed tothe throne. Now that throne is not a s|iecially valuable property; but such as it is, Napoleon Eugeue- Lonii Jean-Joseph Bonaparte, now nearly seventeen years of age,seems to have the best Bonapartist claim to it.—-V. ¥. Tribune. Why is the alphabet like, cutting eerjnln ^^ be e first teetht Because it is taught, WJJ jf^^ ^ u_e reqmr. ed, at eight per ceut. Ten PerCent.—Multiply the same above and divide by thirty six, and the yer (torture) when young. Why is a hungry boy looking at a pudding like a wild horse 1 Be- .aso he would be all the better if I the result will show the rate of in-he had a bit in his mouth. I terest at ten per cent. Why is your father's mother like the tallest soldier t Because she's a granny-dear. Women like to marry men by the name ot William so they can have a Will of their own. "Fan bim with your boot," is said by those familiar with the subject to the last thing iu slang. " Lor-a-massy, exclaimed the old lady in tho witness box, how should I know anything about a thing I dunno anything about I" Mrs. Rachel Stanley, of Virgin-ia, has 330 decemlants to a cer-tainty, and several States to hear from. The people of Wyoming don't know whether to call their female judge a justicess of the peace, or a justice of thepeacess. An Old Anecdote Revamped A London detective put his head into an omnibus one day just as it was starting off, with the following remarks: "Passengers will do well to look out for their pocket-books. There are two members of the swell mob in this 'bus." Thereupon a grave looking old gentleman, with eye-glasses and a gold-headed cane, hastily got out, saying : "If that's the case, I won't go in this 'bus." He was followed by a clerical-looking gentleman, who re-marked that-be "wouldn't ride in such company." And then the detective closed tho door and shouted out to the driver: "All right; drive ou ; they've got out." We don't mean to be unkind ;— bnt really the story is an old one, and we have no excuse for publish-ing it except that Senator Patter-sou's pathetic speech the other day ubout leaving public life with pleasure if things were going on ia this way, and then Brother Har-lau's following him out with re-marks in a similar tone, recalled the circumstance.—V. T. Sun. Double Surpriu.—A. wife of near-ly ten years having given her ser-vant a holiday, was ntteuding to culinary matters herself, and hear-ing her husband coming in the kitchen, thought she would surprise him as soon as he eutered the door by throwing her hands over hia eyes and imprinting a kiss on hia brow, as in the days ot the honeymoon.— The husband returned tho salute with interest, and asked as he din-engaged her hands. "Mary, dar-liug where is your mistress t" The wife discharged " Mary darling" the next day, and has adopted a new plan of "surprising" her hus-band.
