which Helper gives to substantive his
sophistry, and those which he has sup
pressed, it appears that his argument is
damaged to the tune Of forty-fiYe millions

Helper says in his statistics and srsu-

they are entitled to, in order that they
may not appear too insignificant. Does
the above look il? If he wss so very

the wealth and products of the Ststes.
may be found in his comparisons of
portion of the free and slave States. He
compares Massachusetts with North Car
olina. Why not compare the exports Of
Massachusetts with those Of Louisiana
As he has failed to do do this because it
would not subserve his aim, we will take
the figures from his table of the exports
of 1888, and place them together, and the
reader will see why he did not make the

BY INV ESTIG ATOR.

For the benefit of those who do not rel
ish abolnionism, bu, would 'rather bear
the ills we have, than to fly to others that
we know not Of, We will give a sample cf
Helpers reasoning by which he attempts
to prove the great advantages which abo-
lition would bring to the South and the
whole country. On page 65, Of the Com
pendulum, he says:
Slavery has polluted and impoverish-
ed your lands; freedom will restore them to
their virgin purity. and add from twenty
to thirty dollars TO the value Of every
acre.
Our farmers would be pleased to have
freedom perform similar miracle in this
county. With such unreasonable asser
tions is the book filled. His comparisons
botween the wealth, products, &c, of the
free and slave States, are. to say tie least
unfair and iliberal. For all his calcula-
ton in the agricultural products of the
two sections, he takes the year 1864
year in which the southern crops were al
most 4 failure, while in the North they
were unusually heavy. His excuse for
basing all his calculations on the products
of that year. is, that the general census
affords more reliable information than can
be obtained from any other source since
that time. That We cannot get the statis
tics Of but one year in ten, is certainly
news to the people. His true reason for
taking 1850, in preference to any other
year, is because it best suits his purpose.
We admit he does base part of his argu-
ments on years other than 1850. but the
instances ere SO few that it is plain they
were selected solely because they better
served his one sided purpose. We will
give an instance:

ANOTHER REAL LIFE ROMANCE.

The citizens of Columbus and visitors at

daily carried about the Legislative Halls
and State offices, a handsomely wrought
basket containing theplumpest and sweet

her sweet face and girlish form IS seen in
the Capitol, and interesting clerks with
great admiration for the rotunda, are
obliged to forego glimpses of the neatest
gathered foot tripping up the marble stairs.
Everybody about the State House admi-
red Ettie, but it was with a respectful ad-
miration, and if a gruff legislator was
tempted to jest with the girl or make Light
remarks, he was restrained BY the modest
demeanor and pure sOul-lOOk appealing from
her heaven-blue eyes.
Ettie always brought full basket and
went tripping home with an empty one, and
her scarlet silkipurse filed with silver coin.
She was the sole dependence of widowed,
palsied mother, and her noble efforts to
keep away want were known, and made the
fruit from her basket ten times sweeter.
When the great Union Meeting of the
Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio Legislatures
was held in Ohio's Capitol, the beautiful
orange girl was tripping about, disposing

stranger the poverty of her home, and the
necessity of her supporting her sick mother.
He was 50 struck with the girls manner
and singular beauty, that he secretly re-
solved to visit her home and become more
intimately acquainted. He did so, and af-
ter successive visits, won the confidence and
love of the maiden, and her mothers con-
sent to their marriage; and when he went
back to his Southern home it was with a
promise to return in fortnight for his
bride. Hs came, and now the manly
Southerner and the beautiful orange girl
are man and wife. He has taken her, the

Eyon the 18th ult, an old lady. 50
years of age, died near Wadebridge, Eng
land. She was known to possess con-
siderable amount of property, part of which
came to her as the survivor of two sisters,
from her brother, who was well known for
his eccentricity throughout Cornwall. Af-
ter her death, her room. which no one had
been allowed to enter for ten years before,
was searched, and about $4,000 found in
it. e3S5 was found in cash, and some
rolls of notes of the East Cornwall Bank,
which had been out of the bank, if not out
of circulation, for SO years Several hun
dreds of pounds were found wrapped up in
cotton, and a pitcher was full of sovereigns.
Two packets of notes were found with
el 900 in each, and some thousands were
found in the bed-tiek, and some of the
money was SO dirty that it had to be wash
cd. Nearly cart-lOad of papers were
found, and among them great number of
