A Whipped Community.

The Albany \. Y. Knickerbocker,
a leading Wing paper of the Sc
ward stamp, has the following re-
Elections on the general result of the
fall elections. They exhibit rather
a sad picture of the condition of the
Wing party.
.The elections which ha We ia
ken place in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and New York, prove
two things. the IFhig party is a
uhipped community, and that the
Democrats in 80 can max e any
man president they may please---
The ireachery OF the Silver Grays
makes it impossible for the Wing
party to become an unit again. till
they have passed through lorg Sc
ries Of defeats and disasters. Like
Ephraim of old, they have, 'waxed
fat and kick A long indulgence
iin'gqod luck has made them insane,
and given birth, not to gratitude,
but to yindictiyeness. Fillmore
promised to revenge himself on the
Wing party, and he has done it.
When he was elected Vice Presl-
dent, the Wings were strong and
all-powerfuI. They are now bro.
ken and scattered without the
means of doing illor good. A ship
without rudder should be the en-
blem on every standard, in the
country. The result ef the last three
weeks hare completely broken dor"
the spir7cf the party, and shows
that all attempts to elect Wing
President next fall, would be alike
childish aad impotent. There IS
no Whig in the Union who could
carry half dozen States

Surplus Find from the Worlds
Fa;'r.-The New-Y ork Tines of the
18th, contains q letter from its Lon
don. correspondent under date Of Oc-
tober 24th, from which we take the
following extract, showing to what
purposeat has been determined to ap-
ply the sur plus funds arising from the
admission fees to the Crystal Pal
ace during the great exhibition Of the
Worlds Fair.
1t is, at length, decided what is to
be done with the surplus funds ari-
sing from the great exhibition. A
" National Museum of Industry" is
to be the abiding result Of this grand
event, to be formed and supported by
the interest of the surplus, which will,
be funded Tor that purpose. Half,a
million of d money, the estimated bal
ance after paying all the expenses,
viii be no bad basis for the proposed
Museum, towards which, by the way,
there are a lready large contributions
by the foreign exhibitors. There is
to be college, with professors, in
connection with this industrial collec-
ton, which, if managed properly,
promises I'd confer more substantial
benefit to he country than the 8 ex-
hibition" dom which it originates.

1foruon D.Gcnlfes-We have. al
ready mentioned that the Govern
ment- officers had been compelled to
.decamp rather suddenly from the
neighborhood of Salt Lake City.
The New York Courier learns that
the cause of the stampede IS said to
be that the AIormons repudiated the
Government of the United States,
and called Congress a 'paok of cor
rupt swindlers." The $4,000 ap-
propriated by Congress for public
buildings, has been taken to pay oil
the de5ts Of the Mormon church,
and only a short time before the
merchants and judges left, Bringham
Young called together secretly, The
Legislature, and passed resolutions
and issued orders for the seizure OF
$4,000 more from the hands of
Harris, the secretary. Harris per-
sisted III retaining it, and only by the
use of an injunction by the Suprem me
Court, was he able to do SO, and get
away with the money.

that the present sea SON is rapidly de-

unsurpassed for the cultivation of
fruits. What viii the Atlantic far

seven bushels of wheat raised from
two quarts of seed; or, as in the ex-

ninety-two and filteen-sixteenths
bushels Of wheat frb bm one bushel OF

A letter from Hamburg the llth, says
The customs treaty concluded on the 7th ut Ber-
lin, be tween Prussia stipalatiny in the OF the
great Customs Union Of Germany and Hanover,
with the Grand Duchy of Oldeaburg and the prin-
cpaiity Of Lippe- -Detmoldt, is great event which
interests not only all the maritime and manufac
turing commerce of Northern Germany, but that
of most Of the other European States. Hanover
hitherto had always refused to enter the German
Customs Union, and she was encouraged in her re-
fusal by England, whose numerous manu- :acturing
predictions were only subjected to slight duties on
being imported into the Sleuerve we're sent
from thence into the adjacent German couatres.
French wines the con sumption of which very grea
in Hanover, were also subjected to low import
duties; whilst the duties they have to pay on being
imported into the German Customs Union are very
high, and on common qualities almost productive
England AMI France, therefore, cannot regard with
an indifferent eye the blow which the new Prussian
and Hanoverian treaty strikes at their productions
Neither can Austria be satisfied The treaty seems
o have been negotiated wi .hout her knowledge.
Public opinion considers it q marked check to the
policy of that power in all the north of Germany
One OF the necessary consequences Of this treaty is
the entrance Of the State and free part Of Bremen
into the German Customs Union Prussia will
thus attain an object which che has pursued during
twenty years. BY the possession of the port Of
Bremen, and without paying any transit duty, she
can send her manufacturing produ ,tions Into all
ountries beyond the seas, and freely receive all
xchaDges. IL has transpired that great pecuniary
advantages had to be conceded by Prussia to Hano
in order to induce her to consent to the treaty
Ihe duties levied on foreign merchandise on its n-
PRODUCTION into the German Customs Union are
divided, as is known, between the different states
belonging to it, according to the number of their
population vigorously ascertaned Bat it is said
that the Prussian cabinet has accorded to Hanover
4OO,OOO Inhabitants mole than abe really possesses.
Her share of the gen eral receipts will consequently
be increased, to the jury of the other ststes
prised in the union. There now only remain in
Germany out of the pale of the Customs Union,
Saying not hing Of Austra,) the two Grand
Dutchies Of Mecklenberg, Holsten, Lauenburg,
the ports an free towns OF Lubec and Hamburg.
No doubt no efforts whatever will be spared to 10
clude the ast mentioned por. in the treaty, in
spite Of the wishes and interests Of the immense
j0rity Of il sinhabitants.

The Haunted Well.

Those, whose recollection carries them
back as far as the year 1916, doubtless
remember that the summer of that year,
was ola peculiar character, insomuch that
it is still spoken of as the "cold, dry sea-
SON." From the middle of May to the
month Of September, the dust in many
places was scarcly laid springs, rivulets,
and wells of water that had never before
failed, were dried up; and great inconve-
nience was experienced for the want of
water.
liz the interior Of the State, on lime
stone range of country, there lived at the
time prosperous and wealthy farmer,
whom We shall call Deacon n. He, like
the rest of his ncighbors, was blest with
that most useless of all commodities, dry
well and the family were under the ne
ccssity of bringing the water they used for
domestic purposes from an old we'll, on a
remote part of the farm, which held out
during the drouth, (thc task usually fall
ing on Ichabod, the hired man, This
well pertained to an establishment erected
by Mr.. X, who had emigratcd to this
country from Ireland during its first settle
ment, and, as no public roads were yet
laid out, selected such spot as was best
adapted to his business. He erected
dwelling and store house, the latter of
which he filled with domestic goods; to
this he added an ashery, and for several
years carried on a successful business with
the early settlers And here it may not
be improper to add, that having at the
time no children of his own, he brought

The Decline Of England.

That England had passed the zenith Of
her greatness has often been asserted; but
never, until lately, by her own citizens.
In the August number OF Blackwood's
Magazine, however, an article appears, ev-
idently from the pen of Allison, the his
torian, in which the decline of Great Brit
ain is frankly .admitted.
The first evidence of this decay is in the
decreasing population. For centuries the
number OF inhabitants had been steadily
increasing, up to the year 1916; but since
that period the population has as steadily
fallen oft. The greatest perils through
which England passed failed to reduce the
number of her denlzcns. Neither the con-
quest of William, nor the drain of the
iCrusades, nor even the Wars Of the Roses,
le.sencd the ever-sweiIing tide of human
life within her borders. The plague failed
equally to keep down the Increase. Tho
social changes Of the Reformation. the
great rebellion, and the many foreign WARS
since, were, also, imperative to reduce
the population. 1t WIS not until lS4V, or
more properly, perhaps, lol5, that the dc:
cline began Bu, from that date it seems
to have steadily progressed. In five years
the population of Great Britain has fallen
OF million and half
That this occurred in period Of pro.
found peace is the most extraordinary fea:
ture of the case. Ii is a common notnn
that wars exhaust population, but though i
this may be true of particular districts, 1t
Is false of nations at large. During the
last great struggle of Great Britain with p
France, the inhabitants of the former rosa
from l3, 400, 000 in 1889, to Is, 10000 Z
in 1916. In the same period the popula- p
tion of France, exhausted Us it was sup: e
posed to be by incessant conscriptions, AT.
vanced from 25,4O0,G0O to IS, 500, 900.
Yet, during this interval, not less than four
millions Of Frenchmen alone, it is compu-
ted, perished in consequence of the war.
