Indiridunl and Go,ernment Ecsnemy.


When the times demand individual and family
retrenehment and economy, City, State and
National Governments should also economist
and retrench. All should work together, and
the burdens viii then soon be Iightened. Indi-
vidual and family retrenchment are the order
of the day, but not the governmental Our own
city, with its depressed business and idle or
halfemployed population, is taxed this year as
high or higher than last. and on 4 valuation Of
real property made before the revulsion-the
taxes In many instances equaling and in some
exceeding the rents Of the property-COunty
taxes are not diminishel-and the State levy is
increased to raise taxes to put the hard money
sub-treasuTy in oPeration-tO pay the salaries
of new ofi,e created-and the increased COM
pensations made by the last Democratic Gene
raj Assembly. The Expenditures Of the Gen
eral Government too, instead Of being cut down
to meet the diminished revenues, are being IN
creased with an extravagance and recklessness
truly astounding. Mr. Buchanan's Admins
tratiOn, the first year, spent eighty-One millions
while at peace with all nations, nearly double
the four years Administration Of Monroe, and
more than the four years of Harrison aud Tyler.

The Cincinnati journals also publish letters
from various quarters in the West and South,
generally fnll of promise.
The Ohio Statesman has collected iatelh-
gence from thirty five counties in Ohio, located
in our most prominent and reliable agneuitu-
raj districts, which upon the whole is very en-
eOuraging, so far as our leading products are
concerned. There viii be a limited yield Of
fruit, though by no means an entire failure, eN-
eept in isolated localities, while the promise of
abundance in wheat, barley, oats and grasses, is
most flattering. 1t says
a ride through parts of Franklin and Licking
counties has enabled US to see the wheat fields.
Never have we beheld such luxuriant crops of
this grain The heavy ears bend and sway in
golden waves, and the harvest has already be-
gun In this part of the State the crop is heav-
ier than it has been for some years and this
weather is rapidly nPeniHg it.

0NE OF TIE BoYs.-PupiIs residing out of
Cincinnati are allowed to attend the Interme-
diate Schools, upon the payment of a tuition
fee. The Gazette mentions the instance of
boy living seven miles from the city, whose
father was unable to pay his board, who walked
in and out daily, and studied TO such purpose
that he completed in one year the two years
course. He thus prepared himself in one year
to enter the High School, but was much disaP-
pointed to learn that non residents could not be
admitted. Scme man of means should educate
that lad, for he has the ring of the true metal.

How a GAME or CHEss HELPED CoLuxBus 10 DIS
COVER misunderstanding to the old Spanish ira
dition, Columbus's discovery Of America is mainly
due to a hard fought game Of chess Ferdinand Of
Spain passed the latter hours Of the day over the
chequered board, his principal antagonist being an
old grandee, whose skill put the monarch's powers TO
q severe test Columbus had long been dancing at
tendance at the Court in pursuance Of the one aim Of
world-and although he bad hitherto failed in his
aim, yet he had enlisted the sympathies Of the good
Isabella Ferdinand WAS one Of those matter-of-fact
men, who object to furthering the schemes of enthu-
sissfs, and withheld his consent to . New World ex-
petition being formed. Poor Columbus would long
before have sought assistance elsewhere. but Isabella
prevented him, and redoubled her efforts with her
husband The day arrived when the great navigator
was to receive his final answer; he wended his way
towards the palace at nightfall more with the inten-
ton Of bidding adieu to his royal patroness, than
from any hope Of success with Ferdinand Isabella
had not. however. resigned herself and Columbus to

sought the King. who. being absorbed in q hard
huxht eame with the aforementioned old noble, was
NOS in . likely mood to be bothered by the application
Of the importunaie sailor. The Queens interruption
had the effect Of merely disfrActing the monarch's at
t~ention. causing him to lose his principal piece. which
was followed by . volley Of imprecations on suitors in
general AMI Columbus in particular. The game
grew worse and worse. and defeat seemed imminent.
Now Isabella. without ever playing, had picked up
considerable knowledge of the game by watching her
husband and the mobiles, and when Ferdinand told
her that her Prooege should be successful or other
wise, according As the game resulted, she immedi-
ateIy bent al her energies upon the board The con-
test had been unusually long, and the courtiers clus-
tered around the table, amused at the excitement of
the King, and the quiet satisfaction Of his antagonist.
And - the game went on, which was to decide the
discovery Of . new world, until Isabella leaned to-
wards her husbands ear and whispered, " you can
che>kmzte him in four moves" In the utmost as
tonishment the King re~-examined his game, found
