A Communist Experiment.

The New York Evening Post prints
an account ofthe Onieda Community,
prepared by ono of its mombers, from
which itappears (says the POST that
it numbers two hundred and nine per-
sons, of whom finty-two are under
twenty-onc years Of age; that its capi.
tai or property had been increased in
nine years from S4l,740 in 1857 to
$237, ,055 in 1866; that the communists
have established several branches of
industry, which are CARRIED on with
satisfactory pecuniary results; and that
the membership enjoys moro leisure
for recreation, better health and great.
or opportunities for education and
mental improvement than the MAORI
ty of working people in the Eastern
States. .1a ltul .t Hgl. ae
Such results cannot help but attract
the attention of our most intelligent
and thoughtful mechanics. Such men
will inquire why they cannot by sim
liar organized and united efforts
achieve such results. They will say
here are workingmon and women who
have gained for themselves leisure and
comparative independence, and for
their children fresh air, pleasant and
healthful surroundings, good schools
and improving associations-why can
not we obtain similar benefits by uni
ted efforts2 t...s ...
There has been as yet no practical
answer to these questions. There are
in this country, at the present time,
less than thirty four socialist commu-
mites; but all of them are the expo
nents of peculiar, and for the most part
offensive, religious and social views,
and have for their chief object not the
pccuniary or practical success of the
society, but the maintenance and prop
agation of their religious views. 1t is
probably true that the religious and
moral pecularities form the cohesive
power which holds together the COM
munistic bodies now existing here.
z The real question is whether such
peculiarities are necessarily part Of
the problem, or whether q society of
workmen, united for no other purpose
than to economic expense, increase
production, gain leisure for themselves
and healthful surroundings for their
children, and emancipate themselves
from tho too great power of capital,
could not hope for success without
therishing, distinct from tho mass Of
the American people, repulsive sen.
timeuts in regard to society and re-
lipion. IIlN

A RBvENUE sYsTEM.

/ The last Congress authorized q Com
mission TO investigate and scrutinizt
the whole subject Of Taxation, with q
view TO the simplification Of our Reye
une system, so as to render our taxes
less multifarious and buidensomc.-
That Commission has made it's first re.
port The changes they purpose arc
numerous, important, and, we believe,
In the main, judicious. Among them
are the following: ~ p,
l. An exemption Of all incomes be
low 81, 900 from the Income Tax.
2. A.Eeduction of the tax on Dis
titled Liquors from 50 to 81 per gallon.
3. A remission of all taxes now
levied on Wearing Apparel. m
A. A repeal Of the taxes now levied
on Pig Iron (s2 40 per ton.) Coal (six
cents per ton, crude Petroleum Isl
per barely
5. A repeal of all taxes now levied
on Books, Magazines and Pamphlets,
leaving tho present taxes on Paper,
Leather, &C., untouched. sp.
6. A reduction by one.half of the
duties now levied on Homo Manufac.
turcs generally. 3w 1a3f
I. A repeal of all taxes now levied
on repairs of engines, cars, carriages,
ships, &c. l t1-,
8. A repeal of all taxes embodied in
schedule A of the Internal Revenue
Act of last session, except those on
Billiard Tables. vi
8. A reduction Of the tax now lev.
led on brokers sales of Stocks from S.
per 81, 900 to 81 per $1,000.
10. An increase of tho tax on raw
cotton from two to five cents per
pound. oqj IaA|#a aasa
Those notifications arc proposed
to take effect on the 1st day of July
next, or at the commencement of the
fiscal year; and their general effect
will be a reduction Of our present bur
den of Internal Taxes by about one
fourth. Yet, even with these meliora-
tions, they calculate that our Internal
Revenue will amount, for the year en-
suing, to no less than S237 ,0OO, 900, and
our dutios on Imports to $780, 900, 900,
making an aggregate revenue of s367,-
100000. If, then, the cost of support.
ing our Government shall be Sl00, ,000.-
600, (and it certainly ought not to be
more. and the Interest on our Public
Debt should reach S167 100000, which
it will not0 there would be left $780,
100000 to apply to the reduction of
the principal of our National Debt, at
which rate it would be utterly cxtin.

Cheap Food.

What shall we eat2 is the question
in these times Of high prices. Dr.
Hall, in a late number of the Journal
of Health h-good authority by the way
says the cheapest articles Of food at
present prices are bread Especially
corn meal) butter, molasses, beans and
rice. He shows that 25 cents worth of
-four, at 8 cents per pound, contains
as much nourishment as 1926 worth
of roast beef at 25 cents per pound;
and that pint Of white beans, costing
z cents, has the same amount of nutri.
ment an 81 pounds of beef at 25 cents
per pound, or in other words, the roast
beef dict is twelve times as expensive
as the beans. Furthermore, q pound
ofIndian meal will 60 as far as pound
of Hns -four costing nearly twice as
much. tu aH' JAJ l''e4a} a9fIio ~

SINGULAR oAsUALTY.

We learn from the Bridgeport (Ct.)
Farmer, that serious accident hap
pcned to John D. Hurlbut, Esq, of
3Ridgcfeld, a few days since. He was
in Danbury, and accepted an invita-
ton to look at Bailcy's wild animals.
which were wintering in that town.
In going the rounds Of tho building, he
ventured to put his hand upon lion,
being assured by the keeper who was
handling him that lie could do SO with
safety. Instantly the lion seized Mr..
Hurlbut by the right wrist with his
teeth, and pulled him with such vio-
lence and rapidity 10 the CRATES Of the
cage in which the animal was confined
that Mr.. Hurlbut received large and
severe bruise just below the shoulder.
With rare presence of mind he offered
no resistance, and in this manner pro-
badly saved his hand. He was held
by the lion in this position full min
ute, until somo ono procured a board
and struck the animal over the head,
when, partially releasing its hold to
growl at the assailant, Mr.. Bailey was
enabled to withdraw his hand but in
so doing tho under tooth of the lion
raked the flesh open from the wound
on the wrist TO the center of the hand.
The wound is a very bad and poison.
Gus ono, and Mr.. Hurlbut has suffered
Intensely from it. On Sunday after
noon, however, he was easier, and it
was thought the inflammation did not
increase, - H'H

MEERscHAUM-This is q German
word, and means sea foam, that is, the
color of the sea foam. The idea that
the pipes Of that name are made out
of sea foam, or anything like it, is cr-
roneous. Meerschaum is mineral
proper, found in the serpentino or mag.
nesian rock. 1t occurs chiefly at the
head of the Mediterranean, where it is
dug out of its native bed, and sent TO
Europe in blocks or rude pines. 1t is
Of q white or whitish color. The
brown or reddish cast is obtained by
saturating it with oil or wax. Meer-
schaum is composed of flint (silex,) J
magncsia and carbon-the carbon and
flint in an oxidized state. 1t is soft &
porous. Its porosity gives it its proper.
ty as a pipe, absorbing by it the poison
ous qualities Of the smoke. 1t is how
ever inferior TO a clay pipe in this
respect; but better than the briar pipe
which is next to it. There is one fault
with the meerschaum pipc-thc bowl
is too short. Tobacco itself is an abb
sorber of the poisonous properties of
tho smoke-and when this smoke
passes through tobacco, as it will in a
long bowl-the column of tobacco in
it being long-it will become purified,
precisely in the way it does in q cigar.
The first half of tho cigar affords
harmless smoking, the latter half less
and less so till tho poisonous sump re-
mains. So with tobacco in the bowl
OF a pipe. A long bowl puts it in the
form OF cigar. The first smoke is the
best Gas every smoker knows is the
case with -smoking,) especially if
the distance through the tobacco is
great. One should always stop smo-
king when the tobacco is half out
The remainder is permeated with tho
poison-and in that is tho hurt we get
from smoking.

Wife, in a hurry to dance, writing 10
husband:
DEAR HuBDY:--How lonesome ]
feel in your absence. The hours pass
tediously. No body calls on me, and
l am constantly thinking of the time
when you will be home, and your
cheerful countenance light up the now
dreary routine of every day life. My
household duties keep me constantly
employed. l am living as economical
as possible, knowing that your small
income will not admit of frivolous cx-
penses. But, now, dear, | will say
goodbye, or | will be too late for tho
monthly concert of prayer. In haste,
yours, &C., &c." I-lt
