One of the London papers speaking of the
present condition of Great Britain, remarks
that fifty years Of peace finds her with Il
heavier national debt than she had at the
close of he. great wars with Napoleon and
the United States. Since the beginning OF
the present century, she has paid the cnor-
nous sum 81, 800, 900, 600 in interest alone.
In fourteen years taxation has increased
nearly two dollarSper head per annum. In
ten years there has been an increase in the
civil list Of more thau $1,000, 900 and the
boasted ability ofthe people to bear all this
Is resolved by Il curious explanation into the
Fact that the severity of taxation has been
increased and made more searching
The policy Of England appears of late t.
have been essentially changed in its charac,
ter When Mr. Canning lived, it was well
understood that under his inspiration the
British Government recognized institutions
raised up by the people, as well as those
which were created by kings, As it was
IN this spirit that this great statesman gave
his influence in supporter the South Ameri-
can republics, and proclaimed that 'hc
called the new world into existence to re,
dress the balance Of the old. " That day
has passed, British statesmen no longer feel
the influence of such lofty impulses, but are
content to devote themselves to the con
sderation of mere questions of revenue, and
how to keep up the courage Of the people to
meet taxation.
From these facts it will be seen that John
Bull is in Il serious decline, and that the day
may not be far distant when the 'Fonians"
may reduce him more seriously by the liber-
alton OF Ireland At all events Mr. Bull
can no longer bully the balance of the world
nor can he with propriety claim that,
"Britunnia needs no bulworks,
No towers along the steep;
Her march Is on the mountain wave,
Her home Is on the deep"

ced bill in the Ohio Legislature to author

Of the very kind Of information now sought

character and give facts, not speculations
merely. Many of the discoveries Of oil are
said to be entirely in opposition to the for

is valuable only so far rs it gives informa

The Public sROstsnin,

Few persons have any idea Of the extent
Of Uncle Sans farm and the value Of his
broad lands. Our Government now owns
upwards Of 200, 900, 900 Of acres of public
land capable ofcul,iyation. Much of thi.
is as good as the sun ever shonc upon and
will afford homes for the children Of ccntu
rics to come. These lands are worth at leas
: 200, ooo,o5o. Then We have 100000
acres Of mineral lands worth $s00,Oo0, 600
These arc national assets and the Govern
mcnt can, if desirable, apply them to puyin
oil the expenses Of the present war.

Convention OF Sorghum Grow.


\ convention Of Sorghum growers met in
Columbus, Ohio, on the 3dinstant, and pro-
ceeded to the discussion of the various topics
connected with this interest. The expert
once OF several gentlemen growing the Sorgo
were related. Mr.. Branch stated that he
had produced two hundred gallons Of mo-
asscs from one acre of cane, which he sold
for 81. % per gallon. He also produced
about thirty-iiye bushels of cane seed to the
acre, which he sold for &2l5 per bushel
making his receipts 1920 per acre. Mr..
Branch believes the Soreo the most profit
able variety to plant. 1t was stated that
the cane could be raised at about the same
expense as corn. The ground should be
carefully prepared, and the seed planted
about half an inch deep, and carefully cul-
tivatcd until four inches high. Cane may
be kept for weeks without injury if protect
ed from the rain and sun, either by being
shocked in the field or stored in open sheds
1t is regarded as better not to strip the cane
which is to be stored until taken from the
sheds to be worked. 1t is considered more
safe, however, to allow the blades to wilt a
day or so before stripping. Some prefer to
strip the blades from the cane before it is
worked, though in large operations this is
not always practicable. One Of the best
specimens Of syrups on exhibition was made
from cane that had neither been stripped o,
topped. About thirty samples of sugar anC
syrup were on exhibition. The Convention
resolved to hold its next session in Cincin

the Republican party in the Senate last week:
you can have no peace as long as that
relation slavery exists in the United States;
and, as God is my judge hope you will
have no peace until you abolish it. | ask
for no peace until slavery is extinct in these
United States. We hear men sometimes
talk about the object for which this war is
prosecuted. They higgc over the idea that
il was to defend the United States against
the aggression Of the South. This was the
fact j was in its commencement. and

until that. which gave rise to it shall have
ended, and hope it win not fit continue.

will hold out in their blindness until they

A Case OF Abolition PhiIan-
teb,,Nny

Last Fall man named Blcm, in Blanchard
township, Hardin county, was drafted and
being poor was compelled to 20 and leave
his wife and five small children, the oldest
being only seven years old. As he lived in
an Abolition settlement, he had reason to
suppose, from their expressions ofsympathy
for the soldier that his family would be pro-
vidcd for How his expectations were re
alsed is shown by the following facts: On
Thursday last Mrs. lIlcm sent to her neigh
borS for some one to take care other aS She
was sick, also for some food. None of the
ncighbors responded to the call until the
Saturday following, when she was found
dead, having died Friday noon from want
of proper care and feed. The children were
in Il starving condition. While Blem was
away fighting their battles, his Abolition
ncigh bors allowed his wife to starvc to death
In this tragic incident is revealed the hol-
lowncss Of Abolition professions of love for
the soldier. The same Abolitionists II year
ago Wed with each other in tcastng negro
wcnch, who was travelling around making
Abolition lectures but they allowed whHc
woman to Starvc in their midst. And yet
these same bloody boa,tcrs howl for more
drafts, that more helpless women and chill
drcn may share the fate of Bem $ wife. -

The symptoms of Cutarrh as they generally
appear are ut first very slight. Persons lind
they have cold, that they have frequent at
tucllS, and are more sensitive To the changes OF
Temperatures. In this condition. the nose may
br dry, or slight discharge, thin and acrid al-
icrwards becoming thick and adhesive. As the
disease becomes chronic, the discharges are in
creased in quantity and changed in Duality;
they are now thick and heavy, and are hawl<cd
or CoughCd Off. The SccrrtOnS are offensive
causing bad breath; the voice is thick and MT
sal; the eyes are weak; the sense OF the smell is

tom Of tatnrrh *, that the person is Obliged to
clear his throat in the morning of Il thick OF
