J. SLOANE,
Secretary Of State.

The ST.. Louis Penant, of the 9th inst
gives some statistical tables, from HaE
ards Statistical Register, showing thai
in 1888, the public debt Of eighteen b
the states amounted tc $2lS, ,l03, 49,
The debt of the same states, at present
exceeds 300,0O0,0OO, while the whole
value OF these states, including movable
property, will but little overbalance that
sum. The PenHant, in speaking of the
probable payment of those debts, says:
"Can any man of common sense for q
moment entertain the idea that the debt
ofthose States most largely indebted will
ever be paid? Ifso, he will be sadly dis.
appointed, and we venture to predict that
some Of The States will not pay their in
tere st, alter the system of pledging OF
hypothecatiRg State bonds to raise the
wind is done away with. In several Of
them, as in Illinois. Pennsylvania, Ms.
sissIppi, &c. &c, it can only be done
by direct taxation over the expenses of
the Government; and when you touch
the purses of the tillers of the soil, trey
will not submit to it. They will rise en-
masse and put down any public officer
who attempts to collect an enormous tax.
The Legislature of these States must and
will be abandoned by the people-the
original source ofall law aud power.-
Old scores will have to be rubbed out
and new leaf turned over. Ifths SAFES
are legally and consIituionaIIy bound
fur the rash acts of their Legislatures,
then there is no hope of redemption for
them until general bankrupt law is pass
ed, embracing corporations The debt
of some ofthese States will never be- paid
and in our opinion it is useless to think Of
it,
1t is believed by many, that it is the
intention of those States, to get posses.
sion of the public land, by the contempla-
ted distribution, and pledge them to their
European creditors, as security. Ifthey
succeed in this, we may look for the es
tablishment Of British Land Offices and
the introduction of foreign agents. for the
disposal of public land. If the States
need the assistance of Government, let
it be given in loans of money, and not in
The lands which are only held in trust for
the people, and should be disposed Of on.
ly in case of great emergency, or upon
some pressing and just demand. Should
the States fail in this scheme, there is
but little probability that their debts, or
the collecting interest," will ever be liqui-
dated. .g
1t has been a matter of national policy
to sdstain the credit ofthe States abroad.
This credit has been source of great
evil, as il has enabled them to contract
debts they will never be able to pay, and
consequently inAicts injustice on the
capitalists e whom they are indebted
The cred ps gained, and so shameful
" abused haano permanent foundation.

1t was based upon the reputation OF the
State Governments, and not upon lheir
abilities TO pay; or upon the false fepre-
senta;ions ofmen employed 10 contract
IO1ns, and dispose Ofpublic bonds, whose
success in efecting their ebjecls, was
looked upon as skiIlful fnauciering,
instead of participation in fraud.

HOPE.

Hope is the grand handspring ofviriue,
1t gives action to all animate exisfance.-
1t is the bread which feeds ambition, the
incentive to perseverance, the compeer to
virtue, the shield to christianity, and the
only solace 10 death. Ifltis blighted, the
pilgrimage oflife is like troubled sea
we float down IFS dark stream like the lost
mariner on the billowy deck. Aided by
its cheering beam, the immortal mind
looks beyond time, and anticipates the
beauty of another and happier existence.
The beauty of the rainbow vanishes in the
storm, the meteor's flash is but moment,
the glittering gems Of heaven, will one
day go out, the sun himself be extin-
guished, but the star Of Hope shines beau
tiful forever.

REMEDY FOR BURNS AND SCAIDs-The
following recipe, as remedy for burns
and scaIds, was communicated to The ed
itor of the U. S. Gazette, by physician
of Philadelphia. 1t is said to be an efFca-
cious and almost unfailing remedy, and
ought to be generally known.
"Take SCOT from chimney where wood
is burned, rub it fine, and mix one part
SCOT to three parts, or nearly SO, of hogs
lard, fresh butter, or any kind of grease,
that is not salted, spread this on linen or
muslin or any cotton cloth for easier or
more perfect adaptation. If in very exteu-
sive burns or scalds, the cloth should be
torn into strips before putting over the
scald. Let the remedy be freely and
fully applied, so as perfectly to cover all
the burned part. No other application
is required until the patient is well, ex-
cePt 10 apply fresh applications ofths SCOT
and lard.&c.
In steamboat explosions, this remedy
can, in nearly all cases, be at Oncea pplied
and ifdons, many valuable lives will be
saved, and vast amount of suffering ale
waited.

PROFIT OF S1UNKs.-We have been
not little amused by the suggestions Of
s. w. Jewett, Of Vermont, on "a remedy
for the grain worm," copied into our last
number from the Albany Cultiyator. He
recommends killing few skunks and
hanging them up around his wheat field
about the time the weevils are ready to
deposit their eggs. ltis wellknown fact
that insects may be drawn together by
an efffuVia which they like, and also re-
PEELED by an effluvia or odor which they
dislike. Now we do not know Of any liv-
ing thing, beast, bird, insect, or reptile,
that would not fee from the subtle uuint-
essence of skunk. Instead of killing
the animal and hanging him up about the
field, IT would be better TO keep him in
cage-feed him well, and occasionally
"stir him up" so that he might renew The
perfume and keep the weeVils at a dis
tanCe. The writer mentions one thing
which is new TO US, viz: that no insect
will eat the carcase of skunk. We
should like 10 know the facts in regard TO
this. If the animal is killed suddenly,
and before he can have time TO spread his
''vIllainous compound of bad Smells" his
flesh is sweet and good, and we have known
many hunter make good meal of it,
but if he has chance to defend himself |
before death, his flesh is not so very sa-
rory. The experiment in Eregard to the
Veevil is worth trying. Any thing in rsa-
ION TO save the wheat crop.

FIsuING.-We learn from the London.
Quarterly Review, that Chantrey, the ceG

MoNTPEtrER, July 12.-On coming to the |

MONTPELIER, July l2.-On coming to the
late Wing Convention here, Hon. VIM lIebard
of Randolph, brought his lady and Oldest son as
far as Mortified, and left them there on a visit
to the family of Mr. St,rkweather. During the
day (}Oth ult) the son a lad Of about eight years
of age, went, without the knowledge Of his
friends, with two other boys TO the river to battle,
and getting into the current beyond his depth
was drowned. The lad was in the water about
twenty minutes, aud all attemps to resusctate
him were unavaing. What adds peculiarly to
the distress of the parents is the fact, that they
had brought the lad to Mortified for the reason
that they were fearful he would have been
drowned in their absence if left at home

Lightning For the last two weeks there has
been an unusual number of thunder storms, &C.
companed with much lightning. On the even
ing of the 20th ult. the Westinghouse at the
Factory village, Mortified, wars struck, but not
much injured. During the same storm, the
house of Mr.. Alexander Parker, East Montpe-
her, was struck The electic fluid passed down
the chimney, TO the cellar, and in its course al
most wholly destroyed the floor timbers and
flooring of one of the rooms. In this room were
Mr.. Parker aud his mother, aged 80 years. MIR.
Parker was struck down and his clothes set on
fire. The old lady with unusual presence of
mind procured light, poured pail of water
upon her son, which put out the fire and brought
him to, and then by blowing horn called the
neighbors to her assistance.-b.
