sAuNrERING JOE; OR, THE SLOW FOOT
MAN.

Would YOU see a man that's slow
Come and zee Our footman. Joe.
Most unlike the bounding roe,
Or an arrow from n bow,
Or tho flight direct Of crow,
Is the pace Of footnlan Joe.
Crabs that hobblc to and fro,
In their motions copy Joe.
Snails, contemptuous Ok they go.
Look behind and laugh ut Joo.
An acre any man may NOV,
Ere across it crawleth Joe.
Trip on light fantastic toe
Ye that tripping like, for Joe:
Measured steps of solemn woe
Better suit with steady Joe.
Danube, Severn, Trent, and Pc,
Backward to their source shull flow,
Ere despatch be made by Joe.
Letters to Il Plenipo
Send not by our foot,nan Joe.
Would you Jobs full merit know,
Ring the bell, and wait for Joe;
Whether it be king or no,
IT'S just alike to lazy Joe.
Legal process none can show,
If your lawyer move like Joe.
Death, ut last, our common foe,
Must trip up the heels Of Joe;
And Il stone shall tell-'Bclow,
Hardly changed, still tleepeth Joe.
Loud shall the final trumpet blow,
But the list ONE will be joe

State debt would notbe exIinguished hn-
der forty years. Il would involve The
creation Of new laws, and an entire re-or-
ganizaiion ofexisiirg liabilities with our
public creditors.
Il is hardly necessary for me to recon-
mend an earlier payment Of the State
debi, after tho action on that subject by
The las, legislature, which is believed TO
have met with very general approproba-
ton. The question Cor you 10 determine
is whether il shsllbe met and regularly
paid, as il natures.

1873 "a Lecome due. To meet this a.
mount will require an. additional levy Of
one mill, which levy have no hesitation
in recommending. A large amount ofin-
aerest will thereby be saved, which, with
the continuance Of small rates Of taxation
will effectually secure the exiinguish>
meni Of The entire debt as il falls due.-
Ifihis course is 10 be pursuediii is esseh-
iinI that it be determined at this time.
The policy heretofore pursued on this
suhiec, has accumulated in the State
Treasury surplus revenue 1of $685.
255 80, which will be augmented by tho
additional levy jus, recommended. As
this large sum is applicable TO the pays
meni Of The State debt duesin 1857, il is
certainly wise TO apply il 10 that purpose
al once, If any saving 10 the Slate can
thereby be affected. A large accumula-
lion OF public money is always 70 be de-
.precated. Fnll powers should therefore
be conferred on the "Sinking Fund Com
missionefs' TO purchase our bonds before
maturity. The powers now possessed
arc limited, md those limits, instead Of
producing advantageous purchases, have
operated as fixing publicly the rnie al
which the State would buy, and conse>
quenly produced loss instead Of sa-
wing.
During tho past year the real esale
was revalued. This valuation with that
of the personal property mex, spring, will
constitute the grand duplicate Of 1854 !;
the aggregate ofwhich . sill bo about eight
hundred millions.

value of the entire property of the State

ted, but will not vary much from the &C..
lual result. @
The valuation lost had, brings much
properly which bad heretofore escaped,
upon the Tax list. 1t also approaches, as
near as is possible under any system, 10
the real valle Of the property. With ve.l
.ry few exceptions, therefore, the rule Of
equality Of burdens may be deemed as
permanently established in Ohio.
The Banks, acting under charters from
the General Assembly, form the only for
midable exception TO the general acqui'
escone in this just and equitable rule
They have appeoled from the Stato au
thoriiies 10 the Court oftL UnltedSta,es,
in consequence Of which have been un-
der the necessity of engaging counsel TO

An ansignmentof of State sovereignty,
under our peculiar form Of government,
before the Federal Judiciary, is always a
matter Of doubtful expediency. Il should
certainly never be resorted TO by instilu-
tions of our own creation, upon which The
State has conferred large and valuable
privileges, and from which she now ex>
acts nothing bu, their fair and equal pro-
portion Of the burdens Of government.
A similar course was formerly pursued
by on institution established in our midst
by federal authority, and which, therefore,
insiinclly looked 10 federal protection and
support. The Bank of,he United States,
il is true, was particularly successful at
Washington, but where is i, now? The
people have advanced with unprecedent.
ed rapidty in all the elements Of pros
pcriiy and greatness, while not one trace
or yes,ige ofihat proud institution is to
bo found within our borders. On the part
Of the State Banks this course isthe more
reprehensble as the appeal is made by
foreign stockholders upon whomtlie State
has bestowed rights OF an exclusive and
highly lucrative character.
They, too, complain of high taxes.
have already remarked with some free
dom on this subject: and il is gratifying
10 find that these institutions, impalled
probably BY Their own interests, are be-
ginning to unite with the great body oI
the tax payers Of the State, in laboring tc
promote greater degree Of economy in
all public expenditures.
II is incorrect 10 suppose thai the orig
inal policy Of taxing Banks Cd their prof.
its only was adopted with any view ofsax
ing them lees than individuals. On the
contrary, il was claimed TO be a higher
grade Of State iaxation, and the Banks
often boasted that prior to 1916 they pa:d
more than individuals. The growing
magnitude Of Slate, especially Of taxa.
tiun. however, led the people to demand
that these institutions should, equally will
themselves, be brough, within its range
Hence arises the present conflict.
The higher grade Of State taxation
placed in the scharters become in the
course Of time alower one even for State
purposes, to say nothing about the loca
and many other burdens which are nee
essar;ly borne by individuals. An effor
was made IN 1886, at time when the

Poisoned Colored Confectionery.


The following is said to be from London
publication, and is interesting to parents every
where.
The Lancet" commissioners, in reporting
the result of their investigations respecting col
ored confectionery, express their surprise at the
extent to which deadly and virulent poisons are
daily made use of by the manufacturers of these
articles. One hundred and one samples were
analyzed; and of the yellows, seventy contained
chromate of lead and colored gambooge; sew
enty-nine of the reds contained cochineal, red
lead, and by-sulphuret of mercury; eight of the
browns contained furruginous earths, either
Vandyke brown, umber, or sienna; two of the
puppies contained Prussian blue and cochineal;
thirty-eight of the blue contained indigo, Prus
sian blue, Antwerp blue, and a sulphuret Of
sodium or alimum; nineteen of the green's
contained Brunswick green, consisting of a
mixture of chromate Of lead and Prussian blue,
verditer or carbonate of copper, Scheele's green
r.rse-.ite Of copper. The above colors, were
variously combined In different eGses, thfec aud
even four poisons occurring in the same parcel
of confectionery. In four of the samples the
coors were painted on with white lead or carbo-
nate of lead; thirteen of the samples were adul-
terated with hydrated sulphate of lime; seven
teen samples were adulterated with wheat

And well the ladies know it
And she who has pretty one
Is pretty sure to show it;a 81 .
At times you are martyred by
The incest little ankle,
That shoots an arrow through the skies,
Within the heart to rankle.
Of course you turn your gaze aside,
And all your bushes stihe,
For well you know she's not aware
Her skirts are raised trife,
Butshould youthink she mightperchance
Have on loosened gaiter,
Your fingers itch to play the part
Uf honest Iady-s walter. 15
Though tantilized till he is crazed-
Stark mad with wild romancing,
That ~itching fool along his brain
A thousand waltzes dancing,
The while it merely lightly pats
As thoughtless she may move it
No modest man would dare to dream
There is a leg above it.
But when it trips across the street,
Through wind, and mud, and vapor,
By sheerest accident you see
How beautiful the taper;
And as it steps upon the walk,
Amid the crowd to mingle,
Two roguish eyes look up and say,
II wonder if he's SINGLE"
But I would have no lady think
fancy her schemer,
And beg her to remember that s.

He sees what others do not see,
And seeks for hidden beauty
No pretty foot can lure him from
