incident was forgotten, some when one took
it into his head to enquire for TAYLOR. No
one had seen him since the train started.
The last authentic recollection of him was
during the buffalo hunting news when he
was seen like
"Great Orion, sloping slowly to the West"
hunting for strawberries in labyrinths Of re-
Election. The savan it was known had lost
his spectacles, and now it began to be feared
that he had lost himself in the bewildering
mazes of his strawberry search. The dubi-
Gus subject Of the bipedal and quadrupedal
theory now occurred to every one, and when
one of the herdsman brought back word
from distance ahead, that Bony the agon-
zing cook aforesaid, was at the crossing Of
a stream just in advance of us-and had not
seen TAYLoR-the white bipedal theory,
slightly modified to suit circumstances, rap
idly rose in public estimation. The project,
however, of sending party of horsemen in
the direction of this predetermined vital
speck, to hunt up TAYLoR-met with the
vigorous ridicule of some of the party, who
considered the vital speck and moving figure
aimyth, and that TAYLOR had gone on ahead
on " foot back"
And, then, where the moving figure had
gone to, or what had become of the vital
speck in the interval of hours that had
elapsed since it was dismissed in the cloud
of an optical theory, no one could conjecture.
HENRY, however, volunteered to accom-
pany me in the search for the missing phi
lOsopher, and we had not gone mile before
his quick eye caught the figure of the Doc
tors buffalo, standing apparently motion.
less on the summit of distant ridge, some
five miles of, visible to me through field
glass only as a vague and fOrmless black
line against the sky. A very anxious inter-
val of doubt was passed at the swiftest pace
of our horses, before we were at all sure that
the dim object was my best friend. Specu-
lation gradually dawned into recognition
and as we approached him, the geographer
of the northwest descended from his emf
nence and saluted us with bland and quiet
courtesy, as if he felt quite at home and
was going to ask us to take something.
The geographer was utterly lost on his own
ground, and had not the least idea OF where
he was, or that few hours before be had
been palpable and unmistakeable bison.
The philosophers wits had gone wood-gath-
ering, while his hands we're picking straw
berries, and after wandering out of sight of
the trail be had forgotten on which side of
it he was. And so after wandering for q
while among blueberries and Eagles nests
and Buffalo tracks and other curious phe-
nomenas, he concluded that he was lost, and
deliberately made up his mind to camp there
in sight for miles around, till he was sent
for.

State Finances-The OnerOus Burthen
of City and County Governments.

We showed in our article of the 9th in
slant, that the total appropriation voted by
the last Legislature, for all purposes, Terri
torial, Legislative, and State, amounted to
$4O9,3O2 OS. Deducting from this sum
$96,84O 25, the amount used to pay Terri
torial Indebtedness, and there is left as
appropriations for Legislative and State
purposes, for two years, the total of
S3l2,46l IS. We have taken pains to
separate the amounts appropriated for
State purposes from the amounts appropri-
ated for Legislative purposes, and we
find the result to be as shown by the
following table

This resolution proposes the true remedy

This resolution proposes the true remedy
for lessening the expenses of our State, and
county governments Elect Democratic
Legislature which stands pledged to carry
out these measures of retrenchment. Re-
duce the legislative representation one-half,
and the whole expense of our State govern.
ment and legislature can be reduced we think
to less than 100000 per anuum, including
$4,000 interest on our State bonds
The value of property subject to taxation
in the State for 1859, has not yet been re
ported to the State Auditor by the coun-
ties, but is estimated at from $45,0OO,0O0
to $50,0OO,OO0. Say it is $45 100000.
The present levy for State purposes is five
mills on the dollar. If the taxes were all
paid mot half are) this would yield reve-
nue. of 1926, OOO-more than double the
sum necessary. With the reforms our State
platform proposes, the levy for all State
purposes would be reduced to at least two
and half mills on the dollar-a tax so light
that it would hardly be felt, and which we
think would be paid willingly and promptly.
In the matters of taxation, the fact is that
the wolf is at home, in our county and city
governments.
We have procured from the offices of the
City Treasurer and County Auditor the
valuation of property in the city OF st. Paul
and county of Ramsey, for the years 1858
and 1859, and the amount of tax raised for
each year, which, with the rate of levy for
State, county and city purposes, we give

A YOUNG lawyer in Chicago was recently
sent to the penitentiary in that city for ten
days for the crime of stealing ten cents. He
was drunk at the time He begged of the
justice to spare him the disgrace of imprison-

young man is graduate from New
England college, and the son of respectable
parents at the east.

The present Queen of England does
not appear to disapprove of rigid
courtly ceremonies. When on WIS.,
it to the royal family of France at
Eau, the Queen of Belgium had been
told that her Majesty of England took
every morning at ten o'clock glass
of iced water. Accordingly, on the
dag after her arrival. a servant duly
made his appearance at the appointed
hour, bearing on silver salver, ca
rate and TWO glasses, which he ten.
dcred to the sovereign. who declined
to refresh with a wave of the hand
The Belgium Queen seeing this, whis.
pered to her son, who was present, to
pour out a glass OF water, and offer it
to the Queen; this being done, was
graciusly accepted, the fact being that
etiquette would not allow her Majesty
to pour out water herself when a ser.
want was present! The Queen may
not speak to tradcsman; and Victoria
has been standing not yard away
from one, addressing all her inquiries
to an equerry, who repeated them to
the tradesman, and again repeated to
her Majesty all his answers.

I'URNIPS.

1t is good thing to be an editor
when YOU are surrounded by good
friends, like the two living down in
the ncighborhood Of Salem Chat gio-
rious part Of Franklin county, and
who kindly sent US last week some of
the finest turnips that we have seen
this year. We would inform Will c.
and Ira L., that those turnips came
safe to Fancy Gate, and were devour>
ed by ourselI and family in due course
of time--that is, it took us four d1 VS.
to get through with them, and from
the bottom OF our heart and stomach,
we thank our friends. And be it
known to all our subscribers, who
have good things to eat, that Fancy
Gate is the place for receiving pres
ents, in the way ofturnips, fodder and
oats, cabbage. beet, muttoH, chickens.

can eat. And we know Of no one

HOW TOTEST EGGS.

A correspondent of the Springfield
Republican says: There is no diff
Guilty whatever in testing eggs, they
arc mostly examined by a candle. An.
other way to test eggs is to put them
in pail Of water, and if they are good
they will lay on their sides always; if
bad, they will stand on their small
end, the large end always uppermost,
unless they have been shaken consid-
erably, when they will stand, either
end up. Therefore, a bad egg can
be told by the way it rests in water
always end up, never cn its side
Any egg that lies flat is good to eat
and can be depended upon. An ordl'
nary mode is to take tiem into room
moderately dark, and hold them be-
tween the eye and q candle or lamp
II the egg be yood-that is, il the al.

THE CAVALRY OFFICER.

Col. Eugene McrvIle was an at.
tache of Napoeon's staff. He was a
soldier in the true sense of the word
devoted to his prorcs ions and brave
as IL lion. Though very handsome,
and Of fine bearing, he was Of humble
birth--a mere child Of the camp. and
had followed the drum and buglc from
boyhood. Every step ia the line OF
promotion had been won by the stroke
Of his sabre, and his promotion from
ma or OF cavalr was for u gallant
deed which transpircd on the battle
field beneath the Eluperor'S own eye.
Murat, the Prince orCavalry Officers,
loved him like brother, and taught
him all that his own good taste and
natural instinct had not led him to ac
quire before.
it was the carnival season in Paris,
and young MrrvilIc found himself at
the masked ball in the French 'pcra
House. Better adopted in his taste
to the field han the boudor, he hirIs
but little with the gay figures that
cover the floor. and joins but seldom
in the giddy waltz. But at last, while
standing thoughtfulIy, and regarding
the assembled throng with vacant eye
his attention was suddenly aroused by
the appearance of a person in white
satin dominoe. the universal elegance
OF whose figure, manner and bearing,
convinced all that her face and mind
must be equal to her person in lowell
ness.
Though in so mixed an assembly,
still there was dignity and reserve
in the manner Of white dominoe that
rather repulsed the idea Of familiar
address. and it was sometime before
the Young soldier found courage to
speak to her.
Some alarm being given, there was
a vioIeut rush of the throng towards
the door. where, unless assisted, the
lady would have materially suffered.
Eugene Mervile offered his arm, and
with his broad shoulders and stout
frame wards off the danger. 1t was a
delightful moment; the lady spoke the
purest French, and was witty, fanci.
i'ul, and captivating.

facturer here that he desired inferior
iron, he might have had a better en-
glne made of the same material, for
the same money.
And we are informed by intelligent
observers Of the brilliant word, that
sometimes when iron work is to be
done for public buildings even. a,
iorty.parson power Of expostulation,
with the most thorough course Of ar.
gument to demonstrate that the very
fixtures Ges red can be made here
even better that they can be obtained
from abroad, is insufficient to check
the force of fashionable gravitation
towards other cities; that this gravita-
ing force is so overpowering, that it
at once contracts the fists ofthose who
hold the big disbursements, and pre-
cipitates them to Cincinnati, Pitts
burgh, or elsewhere, from hence the
money can never enrich our little
metropolis; and that when the work is
obtained, it is frequently supposed by
good judges to be a very bad bargain
that the contractors have gone so
much farther than was necessary, only
to fare much worse than they would
have Jared at home with the same
money, while they have deprived the
community here Of many thousands,
which might have been distributed
among our manufacturers, mechanics,
merchants, and farmers.
Now, these managing rich men
have more sense than is herein exhib.
tied, when they apply themselves to
the management of their own private
affairs. They understand how to save
even the rain and snow which fall
upon their house,tops, by catching
them in pipes and conducting them
into cisterns during winter, for re-
freshing beverage in summer. But
when they have a great sluice of
money from the public treasury put at
their command, which might, by going
into the cistern Of circulation here,
refresh all the various departments of
home industry, they conduct it into a
long pipe, and send it over to Cincin-
natl, Pittsburg, or some other place,
whose people would not give US a

TIE "OUNCE OF PREVENTION"

If we were asked to give any young
person good advice, we should say to
him, or her: Never learn anything YOU
may be called upon in afier.lIe to un-
learn; never acquire any habit you
will find it necessary to abandon; or
any acquaintance that sell.rcspect
will compel you to ignore. "Drawing
a mistake or a prejudice out Of the
head" observes some writer, "is as
painful as drawing tooth" And
then, he might have added, the roots
often remain behind to plague you
with annoying "reminiscences. 1t is
not easy to extract a full grown tooth
and it is just as easy to get rid of Il
lull-gr0Wn error. or matured evil
habit or acquaintance. 1t is more
troublesome TO unlearn a wrong thing
than to learn right one. A little
discrimination in advance. therefore,
is a great economy OF patience and
cxerton. An "ounce of prevention is
worth "A pound Of cure"

WHAT A WIFE SHOULD BE.

Says an old author: A good wife
should be like three things, which
three things she should not be like
First. she should b, like a snail. al
ways keep within her house, but she
should not be ike a snail, to carry all
she has upon her back.
Secondly, she should be like an
echo. always speak when she is spo,
ken TO: but she should not be like an
echo. always to have the last word.
Thirdly. she should be like town
clock, AWAY keep time and regulari
ty; but she should not be ike town

BY MRS. ADELIA C. GRAVES.

! stood beside your grave, Mary,
Your open grave, to day,
When they hid you from my sight, Mary,
Beneath the cold, damp, clay.
And my heart was nigh to burst with grief,
A grief, so wild and strong,
That only tears could bring relief,
And o! they flowed so long.
Deaths tried 10 h arm me oft, Mary,
But he never did, before,
Tho more than once he's knock ed, Mary,
Knocked a, our cottage door.
When my father died, that sad, sad day,
And my Mother, sil more dear,
Twas your hand rhat gently wiped away
The bitter, flowing tear.
And when our darling Babe, Mary,
Was snalched, even from your breast,
You hushed your own deep wo, Mary,
TO sooth my grief to rest,
And with your arm around my neck,
Your soft kiss on my cheek,
| still thank ed God for blessings left,
Although | could not speak.
But | am left alone, Mary,
There's none cares for me now,
No sweet smile meets my eye, Mary,
No soIt hand cools my brow;
And Pm weak to struggle, Mary, dear,
When our little ones draw nigh,
For knw how much they need, TO cheer,
Their Mothers voice and eye.
You are sleeping meath the sod, Mary,
We shall see your face no more,
But your weeping babes shall oft, Mary,
Hear all your virtues o'er.
And Mey'll grow, every day, trust,
Ye' more, and more, like her,
Who's mouIdcring slowly back to dust,
Within the sepulchre.
0! life's lonely road, Mary,
So dreary, since you're gone,
That can scarcely bear, Mary,
To tread my ways, alone,
Yet, for our dear ones, | will live
Their tender minds to train,
So that, rejoicing, ! may give
Then 10 your arms again,
And have the sweet reward, Mary,
Io leel you mine, once more,
Met, never more TO part, Mary,
Upon happier shore,
And III cherish thus yourlove, Mary,
Your sweet, fond, spirit love,
Till | once more clasp you to my heart,
In world of joy, above.
