New York is in debt for these and other
works, to the amount of S2i, 0is. 1871. The
annual interest on the debt is 81 900 OBS,
an amount more than equal to the principal
of the debts of some of the States which

There are eight States entirely out Of

Connecticut, Rhode Island, New lamp

many whose debts are triflng. They have
done least toward Internal Improvements.
No injury could be done, in some instan-
ces, however, If they had lands for school
purposes, as the census returns show very
conclusiyely. Make the States even with
regard 10 grants according to Mr. Benefits
bill, and then commence new upon a fair
and equal footing. There will be land E.

THE ART or CoUGHlNG.-It is injurious
TO cough leaning forward as it serves to
compress the lungs aud makes the irritation
greater. Persons prone TO the enjoyment
should keep their necks straight and throw
out the chest. BY these means the lungs
expand, and the windPipe is kept free and
clear. There is sn art in every thing, and
the art of coughing is, perhaps. as important
as any other.

MEXICAN INTELLIGENCE.

Intelligence from Mexico to the 18th of June re-
presents that the extraordinary session of Congress
was still engaged in arranging the financial ques-
ton, one Of the great stumbling blocks to the pro-
per administration of Government. The Minister
Of Finance proposes to appropriate for the use Of
the Government the amount Of the indemnity des-
tined to the interior creditors, which many say has
already been spent; to establish consumption
duty to be paid at once for the whole Republic; to
in the country, and to increase the amount of cir
culation and export duty on coin. All these pro-
positions were referred to the appropriate commit
tee, which has not yet reported. An order has
been issued that if any Of the employees Of Govern
ment speak publicly against the authorities they
shall be discharged from Office. The first who
suffered the penalty imposed bythis order was Jose
Ignacio, one of the writers Of the Universal, the
Opposition paper.
