Taxation.

No nation, save our own, ever paid
its national debt. England never
has paid, and never will pay her debt.
She pays the interest on it now, NOT
from theihigh sense of moral obligation
that influences our policy, but from
the dread ofrevoluion. She fears the
fund holders and taxes the masses; but
by and by the masses becoming desper-
ate in their wretchedness & Weakening
up to sense oftheir rights, will revolt
against these exactions, and then, in
the reeling storm ofrevolution, thrones
and privileges, and public securities
and debts will be scattered TO the
winds. No government has the right
to tax the people as all governments
now tax them. There is no exercise
ofpower of which the people should
be sojealous and SO promp to question,
asthe taxing power.

constitutions are overturned by money

Beauties Of tha Tariff.

We have had many delightful pic,
tures ofl.owell, the brag spot of the
Boston cotton manufactures, but the
N. Y. Morning News gives the fol,
lowing new account of the female
operatives employed there. 1t is a
thousand times worse than negro
slavery in the most aggravated form.
"The board Of the girls is jobbed
out by the factory agents like feeding
so many cattle. and they receive their
wages clear of board from the facto-
ries. Generally speaking, the board
they get for the miserable factory
allowance Of seventeen cents per day.
board and lodging, is such that a
southern negro would turn up his nose
at. The Tribune is right, however
that if the board is advanced the
operative must lose the amount.
A girl now goes into the factories.

atmosphere so hot that her clothes
are drenched in perspiration in the
coldest days Of winter. In this state
Of heat they must run from the mill
to the house, to scanty meal, proyi-
ded for tie allowance of five cents,
and back to the mill in a given time
The severe labor, constant exposure,
the flying lint collecting on the lungs,
and other hardships, throw numbers
into consumption; many have spine
complaint, shoulders grown out, and
other deformities. For all this they
received clear Of board, in 1912, thirty,
three cents per day. This has, under
the present tariff, been cut down to
twenty-nine cents per day; and if the
boarding house keepers demand
higher board, further reduction
must take place, because the girls
are the complete slaves Of the facto-
ries. Every year numbers are dis
charged by Improvements in machin-
cry, and the discharged hands are
compelled to work for any price TO

Report Of ths State Engineer Of Louisiana upon the In
pr0Veuent Of the West Pearl Pass

report Of lES Stae Engineer OIL Louisiana upon the In
proVsment Of the West Pearl Pass
To the Honorable, the Senate and House
Of Representatives Of the State of Louis,
lana:
Upon personal examination OF the
Works upon the West Pearl River, the
State Engineer concluded that the most
important improvement 10 be accomplished
in that section, swas the opening of a
passage from the East fearl is rendered
dangerous by distractions in its channel,
commencing some twenty-five miles from
itsmoulh, and extending twenty~seven
miles. These distractions, known on the
river by the name of "Kaats," are so
formidable as 10 prevent any passage,
except in very high stages of water. Above
this point :he navigation is good, or can
easily be made so. 1t was then of impor,
tance 10 open passage, leaving the East
Pearl at a point above the "Kaa,s,' and
entering the West Pearl a. a point below
the obstruction in this last river. This has
been DONE The West Pearl has been
made perfectly nayigable fer sixty miles,
and steamboat passage cut thro' Holmes
Bayou to the East Pearl. Boats carrying
from six to eight hundred bales of cotton
can, in ordinary stages Of water, get through
this passage with safely. In high stages Of
water boats will be enabled to reach
Jackson City, the seat of government O
the State of Mississippi. This work is
but a commencement. The navigation o
the East Pearl must be improved. Thi!
beautiful stream is subject 10 being render
ed navigable for four to five months in the
year, into the very heart of the State 0
Mississippi. When ii is remembered tina
this river flows through one of the ricl
cotton regions of The South, and through
immence forests of the best and mos
valuable timber, it will, | think, bt
conceded that its navigation is we'll wortl
the attention of the States of Mississippi
and Louisiana. Its importance 10 the
City of New Orleans is self evident
I he immediate advantages already obtain

ton of the State of Louisiana, are increa

Curious Piece Of History.

The Washington correspondent of
the Richmond Enquirer makes The fol
lowing reference to the speech of Mr..
G. J. lngersoll, delivered in the Ho.
Of Representatives on the 9th uItimo,
and just previous 10 the taking Of the
notice vote:
Mr.. lngersoll had been abiding to
the predictions made in different quar-
ters that England was in ample pre-.
paraton to demolish US, and, that, on
the moment OF intelligence reaching
her that the notice bill had been pas.
sed, her fleets and armies would lay
waste in every direction. He illus.
trated the fallacy ofsuch predictions
with an anecdote of the times of the
late Canadian troubles. He asserted
''upon the highest authority" that
when Mcleod was seized and impris-
oned, MIR. Webster, then Secretary of
State, wrote note (marked private)
TO the Governor of New York, coun-
selling that functionary 10 release Nc
Leod Instantly; or the sacking Of the
great city of the new world would be
the consequence. The Governor,
somewhat inoredulous, before making
up his mind ventured to write 10 Mr..
Webster to know when Britain pro.
posed to adopt that measure of retail.
alton for the assumed wrong inflicted
on her by the imprisonment of Nc
Leod. Mr.. Webster replied "imme-
diately-instantly," and that the only
way TO prevent the city from being re.
duced to ashes, was to abandon all at
tempts to vindicate the laws of the
State of New York, and let the prison.
er go Scot free. When Mr.. Webster
found that the Governor was MOI to be
operated on, and, at any risk, was de-
termined TO maintain the laws Of the
State, he employed the District attor-
ney to defend Mcleod at fee five
thousand dollars; and an attempt 10
get him off without trial, was made
under writ Of habeas corpus, which
having failed, then another, by advan-
ces to the marshal in charge Of the
prisoner to conuive at an escape. The
people became so enraged at these
manifest attempts to trample the State
laws under foot, as TO inform the mar.
shall that if the prisoner was not forth>
coming for trial, his own body should
suffer the penalties which would be
inflicted on that of Mcleod if convic-
ted after final trial. From this an.
ecdote he deduced strong argument
to show how groHndless are such fears
in the present crisis.

The Habits and Fears Of an EmperOr
Sta,e Engineer.

The Italian accounts of the visit
of the emperor Nicholas to their
country, are not very favourable to
the impression made by him.
Among other statements we find
this Of his fever-haunting apprehen.
sons of assassination.
The Emperor sleeps upon leather
mattras stuffed with hay, with big
dog and pair Of pistols beside him.
The fear ola violent death seems 10
be always present to him-and it is
only by preserving the strictest
incognito that he is able to take the
solitary walks for which he has so
much taste.
In Palermo the charge of his safe
ty was confined to one of the superior
agents ofthe police, who was unskil-
ful enough TO attract the notice of the
emperor, as he followed him from
street to street, whereupon the
Autorcrat, rushing upon the unknown,
pistol in hand, said-ssWho are you,
what do you want?" II am agent oi
the police" exposing at the same time
his uniform concealed under a cloak,
"and am ordered to watch over your
safety" to the d." rejoined
the Imperial wanderer, Il can
protect myself; hence, or I'll shoot
you;" and the terrified agent was not
slow 10 obey an imperial mandate
from one who, like Nicholas, is of a
mein and muscular force TO make such
words terrible.

The Mississippi river runs from
north to south. and it has been ascer-
tanned that its mouth is actually four
miles higher than its source, result
owing TO the centrifugal motion ofthe
earth. Thirteen miles is the difference
between the equatorial and polar
radius; and the river, in two thousand
miles, has to rise one third of this
distance--it being the height of the
equator above the pole. If this
centrifugal force were not continued,
the river would flow back, and the
ocean would overflow the land.-N.

unfair is her last proposed division by
