our troubled heart. and caused US to turn from

grief in silence Language possesses no words
to pay a fitting tribute to the celestial virtues
which adorned that lovely soul. Surrounded,
as she was, with everything conducive TO hap
piness and contentment in this world, there
was another, a higher sphere, TO fasclnate her
ambitious nature and bid her persevere. Hav-
ing been taught, from early youth, that life On
earth was but a pilgrimage to a glorious here
after, it was not strange that Faith in her reli-
gion should lead her to follow the life Of a
Christian. Her friendships, always true and

HON. CHAs. n. SMITH, BILL ARP.
A correspondent Of the Cincinnati
Enquirer gives a sketch Of the inimitable
humorist, whom the confidence of his
people recently sent to the State Senate.
We copy below, remarking, however,
that while "BiF' Is a head and shoulders
above the majority OF mankind in quail
ties of head and heart, he has stretched
marvelously within the last two weeks,
if he is to be ranked among the "taI'
men physically. The writer says of
him:
Speaking Of Senators, one member Of
the State Senate is SO well known, at
least by his nom de plume, North, as
to render il perhaps not altogether unin-
teresting to give some account OF him.
This is c. II. Smith, Of Rome, the cele-
brated Bill Arp Tall, stOutly built,
with black eyes, hair, and beard, slightly
bald, and of rather a grave expression of

by visitors that he is about the last man

author OF that inimitable appeal to the
great Artemus. Mr.. Smith IS q lawyer

Be5 In the Supame Court Of the
United States on the second inst, Judge
Clifford delivered the opinion in the case
Of an appeal from the District Court of
Wisconsin, ia which the Milwaukee and
Chicago Railroad Company was respon-
dent. 1t appears that certain mortgaged
premises were several times offered for
sale, but were not sold, and that the APP
peAant claimed possession on the ground
that he was the highest bidder; but the
Supreme Court holds that biddings at
auction are mere offers, and that there is
no binding obligation until the consent
Of both parties IS given, or in other words,
until there is a mutual understanding to
q definite agreement as the auctioneer
may refuse TO strike OF the property to
the highest bidder, so a bid may be with
drawn before the hammer falls. The
court said that justice had been done,
and all parties are satisfied but the APP
peliant, and that the decree of the Dis
trictC Court is affirmed with costs.

From the London Times, Dec. -.
TEE REDUCTION OF III NATIONAL
DEBT-MORE LESSONS On POLITE


The temper Of Congress depends upon
so many circumstances incapable Of de-
termination at this distance thatit would
be hazardous to predict anything with
reference 70 its action. It seems proba-
bic, however, that with the feeling Of
the nation still excited by the struggle
through which il has passed, Mr.. A1cCul-
loeh's proposals will be accepted, and a
resolution will be passed, piedging the
Federation to SET aside IN annual sum Of
forty, or, If need be, fifty million, for
the payment of interest and the redemp-
ton Of the debt, But il is impossible to
bind future Congresses, and the difficulty
will be TO maintain a resolution 81 heroic.
There are, indeed, not wanting rea-
son Of much weight for adopting
a course entirely different from
that recommended by the Seere-
tary of the Treasury. The pressure
Of IA debt may be lessoned either by its
redemption, or by an increase in the
wealth Of the people bearing the burden.
If the sums RENTED in taxation were
saved, it would always be polite TO abol-
ish or reduce taxes, instead OF paving of
a portion Of the capital Of a national debt
for it IL certain that indiviGuI citizens
may make more OF their savings than
they could gain by tie reduction OF taxa
ton consequent upon a reduction of debt.
The truth is, however, that what is saved
by the remission OftaXes is geueraIlyspent
and it Is, therefore, a. a rule always de-
sirable 10 attempt something towards
reducing the capital of the national debt.
This has beentheoretically Acknowledged
by the best men who have filed the
office of Chancellor Of the Excheouer
but opposing influences have been too
strong for them. IL was probably owing
to the fact that Mr.. Pitt was strongly i'm
pressed with the propriety Of reducing
the national debt that he was BETRAYED
into accepting the misehievOus device Of
a sinking fund. Mr.. Gladstone through
out his career has been struggling to
lessen the load Of Indebtedness which
weighs down Our energies, little as he has
been able TO accomplish toward his OBJ
jet. The reduction of taxation is al
ways too popular a cry for a min
ister to be able to withstand it..
If a chancellor Of the exchequer asks to
be allowed to retain a modest surplus.
some member whose seat is insecure.
forthwith proposes that some tax-for
example, the Attorneys Certificate DUTY
should be abolished instead. The Min
istry are beaten or have to give way, and
the better eourseis postponed. We must
watch the progress Of legislation in the
United States before we q venture to
affirm that the virtue which the Ameri-
can people have manifested at a great
crisis is sufficiently strong to withstand
the wear and tear OF ordinary life, the
small economies and keen calculations Of
self interest which make up the struggle
for existence.

EsrAn e%xtensive franl

H. An extensive fraud upon the Inter
nal Revenue Department, by the issue OF
a large quantity Of segar box stamps, has
just been brought to light by the author
tiles of Sew York. Three persons,
named John Fuch, Charles Meitzchier-
ling, and a printer named BIomeke,
have been arrested. The latter admitted
that he had printed about two hundred
and fifty of the stamps and destroyedth the
plate but it was afterwards found, and
its engraver has been apprehended.
Blomeke and Meitzchierling have been
committed TO the county jail by United
States Commissioner Osburne, and Fuch
has been admitted TO bail. 1t issupposed
that no less thSR twenty of the plates
have been manufactured and millions Of
the stamps printed, aud that the fraud
will amount to one million dollars. The
counterfeit stamp is about One-eighth Of
an inch wider than the genuine, and the
paper on which it is printed is half an
inch longer.
