Alter Congress gets. fairly nrfler way
having removed. the .SRmbo break from its
wheels of legislation, it is greatly TO be
hoped that that body will find time to pay
a little attention TO the paper monopoly,
this sesson. The Ola Colony Sentinel com
plains that within the past few months, the
paper monopolists, taking advantage of any
little preteXt, snch asone or two mills stop
ping for want of water, or because one is
burnt occasionally, have again put up all
kinds of paper TO an eXorbtant price,
knowing fun well that their customers
have no remedy. We hope there may be
men enough in Congrbss-men' who can
not be bought by the paper interest--to do
justice TO the public by voting a reduction
on the present ptolIibftive tariff. i.'.
1t Is especially to be hoped that Mr..
Senator JoiIN SHERMAS will become wise
enough to review his course Of the last ses-
sion and take the position which is de-
manded of him by the manifest interests of
his constituents, and labor to relieve them
of tbe paper. tax burden, which he, aided
by vote and influenced in imposing 4on
them. 1t is to be hepgh also, that he and
his rival for the Senate,zover Representa-
tive S6HENcK-wil not 50 zealously can
vass TOR that. position, that they will forget
howlhacIl i. expected Of them in this be-
hall, by the ins'ssPdPer press, especially, as
much by that of their own party as by any
other. b" 7'.'.ai a. '-'' ii"' H
Respecting the repeal or material modfi-
cation of the paper tariff, we'can see no
party difference of opinion as to not only
its utility but its imperative necessity.

How Soldier Fooled the Copperheads

The following cute trick which Union
soldier played upon the Copperheads, oc-
CURED at the polls at Fort Wayne, Indi-
ana. The soldier presented his ballot
when noisy Copperhead challenged his
vote. The Judges Immediately refused
the ticket. well" said the soldier,
"you see what you have lost" at the same
time unfolding his ticket, which proved
to be straight Copperhcad one. This,
of course, changed the thing at once !;
four or FIVE leading Copperheads inter-
fered and insisted on the soldiers right
to vote, when the Judges reconsidered
their decision and concluded he was a le-
gal voter. This admitted, the soldier
drew from his pocket Union ticket and
voted it, much to the chagrin of the we'll
sold Copperheads.

Financial Effects of the War.

The war for the Union was not begun
to obtain any financial advantages, but on
the contrary, with clear foresight of the
great financial waste and loss it would in
volve. 1t frequently occurs, however,
that where We most certainly expect loss,
and loss only, some dimly un dcrstood or
previously unknown law of co mpensation
intervenes, which not only Sc tiles the ac-
count. but leaves balance of profit to our
credit. The farmers Of the Western
States, large proportion of whose farms
were at the commencement of the war.
and had for many years been mortgaged
for half or wo-thirds their value did not
expect that one of the first effects of the
war would be, by depreciating the cur
rency, to reduce tie value of mortgages,
which called only for fixed sums in cur
rency, to one half or one third their orig
inal standard, and by raising the prices
of agricultural produce to twice its form
er figure, enable them, with the same
crops, to pay off three or four times as
much Of the debt due on their farms as
formerly Nevertheless this has occurred,
and every township of the West has been
witnessing this gradual emancipation of
its farmers from their former load of in
dividual debt
While the borrowers have been thus
releaved the lenders have Jared equally
we'll as class The funds which for
merly sought investment on bond and
mortgage, being loaned to individuals to
enable them to carry on agricultural bus
iness, have largely sought Gve-twenties.
seven thrties and other Government Sc
curities aud speculations, which were so
many ways of loaning to the Government
the funds for conducting the war. The
great national debt only takes the place of
vast aggregate of individual debts which
would have to exist were there no nation
al debt, for all surplus capital seeks bor-
rowers, and every mans debt. If invest
ed in improved property its returns are
the rents. If put out on mortgage its
return would be styled interest If in
vested in FIVE twcntIes its returns are in
the form Of taxes and revenues. In Ell
ther case, however, the consumer pays
the rent interest or tax, and in the ag-
gregate it is probable the burden Of debt
is not greater now than formerly, as there
has been no period in the history of our
country when a given amount of labor
has yielded a more adequate return in the
necessaries of life.

bout not speaking to your sister in-law.-
The loss, let me tell you, will be all on
your own side
Brother Tom understood his own posi-

below himself in marrying. He could
not unite himself with one who was igno-
rant and unrefned-against that his gen
erously cultivated soul would have reyol

place beside him, as he said on the lowest
round of fortunes ladder, aud keep step
with him upward. Such a one he had
found in Harriet Parker, and he was in
depended enough to make her his wife.
Lizzie soon discovered, after brother
Tom actually got married aud commenced
housekeeping in two rooms. with his mod
est, cheerful, earnest minded wife, that
her new sis]er had about her something
that insensibly won the love, commanded
the respect and almost extorted the ad-
miration of all who were fortunate as to
make her acquaintance.
Marriage they say makes or mars a
man, the brother overheard Lizzie once
saying, in an undertone to lady friend.
But it will not mar the fortune of broth
er Tom. He's got just the wife to help
him along in the world and one that
will grace any position to which they may
rise

Simple Means Of Destroying Flies.

To destroy flies get four-horse power

ing in every room, connected with the
engine aforesaid by betting. On the
shaftiug place fly wheels, smear the
wheels with molasses, anG set the engine
going. The flies being attracted by the
mOlasscs on the fly wheels, will light on
them, and the wheels revolving rapidly,
they will be wheeled of. Have boy

smte them as they fall, before they have
time to recover from their dizziness. A
