What is the use of toggery? Why
not dress with a view to comfort, con-
venience, and good taste? The savage
of Africa and the savage of our own
Western wilds seem to delight in tog-
gerry. So do the Turks and Chinese.
Indeed, it appears to be common
weakness of savage and civilized to
love toggery. Little girls rig out their
dolls and themselves with useless tog-
gerry. Great military generals and
commodores pile on the toggery; so the
"brave redskins" decorate themselves
with wampum, paint and toggery after
successful scalping excursion.
When the Englishman goes out for
n Summer holiday or to the ''races,"
he loads and hampers himself with
toggery, not to mention baskets and
boxes of provender, ale, porter, beer,
champagne, or whisky, enough, one
would think, to last during a voyage
around the Kingdom. But we need
not go abroad to look for travellers
toggery, Go to our Watering places.
Look at the ladies' trunks, big enough
to hold "a heap" of dry goods-and
at the ladies themselves ! Look at
their little heads with those awful
cxcrcsccnces, loaded down with tolgGy
What can they have within their little
craniums when SO much is piled on
outside? If one gives her whole mind
to externals, what becomes Of the III
tcrnal? But, enough. The foolish
ncss-not to say vanity and wickcdnc5s
of these things must be apparent to
all unpervcrtcd minds. Good tastc--
even artistic cXccllence-requircs nc
such nonsense; what is there in the
way of dress more becoming Il gentle

hand. Marching silently, as before,
they reached the Rendezvous of the
tories, and reconnoitered. The tories,
anticipating no danger, had not put
any sentries out. The patriots, at a
signal from their leader, rushed up the
walk, and burst open the door with
loud cheers. The tories, at the first
notice of danger, sprang for their guns,
which had been stacked near the door,
and in the direction of the patriots,
who saw their intention and seized
them. The clear voice of Captain
Hinkle rang through the ancient halls.

The surprise had been complete. A
few of the tories escaped by Jumping
from an upper story. Others drew
their swords, and with their backs
against the wall fought desperately
They knew their assailants, and knew
also that a just rctribution had follow
ell them.
The quick eye of Captain Hinklc
singled out the tory leader, and they
crossed swords. Sparks flashed from
their blades as they parried blow after
blow. After short ailray, Captain
lIinklc, who had been watching hi:
chance, ran his sword through Keane'>
body, saying, "Take that, you coward
ly villainW
Drawing his reeking blade red with
the blood of several tories, he rushed
into the fight, cheering on the band o
devoted patriots. The tories fought
with lorlorn hope, knowing their
fate would be "rope and the nearest
tree" if captured. One by one they
fell in their tracks either dead or woun-
dcd.
A cry of "Fire! frc!' was hcart
Just then, and a dense smoke filled the
lower apartment, and all rushed out
into the air, bearing with them three
of their wounded comrades. SomC

Worth Thinking or


This country is staggering under all
enormous load of Public Debt. The
Federal Government owes Two Billions
and n Half; the States owe large
amounts while Counties, Cities and
Townships, have each their Several
burdens. We are paying; In the ag-
grcgatc not less than Three Hundred
Millionsper annum as interest on these
various debts, while we are considera-
bly, reducing the principal, especially
of the local obligations incurred in
providing bdunties for the Volunteers
in our late struggle. Altogether, the
taxes paid by the people of the United
States, though considerably reduced
from the maximum they attained in
1866 must probably exceed Five
Hundred Millions per annum. AL
most everything is taxed, from the
baby's posset to the old mans coffin
many things twice and thrice over.
1t is generally agreed that our taxation
may be readjusted and simplifed, so
as to render it considerably less irk-
some.
VIII some one attempt to explaih
the seeming paradox Of an immense
and steadily increasing migration, from
countries that owe little and tax lightly
in comparison, to. this overburdcncd
Irepuhlic2 That some should flock
hithcr 1T all events, is natural /; but
that the volume Of immigration should
be not merely maintained but largely
augmented, under the pressure Of 81
gantic debt, a high tariff, heavy inter
nal taxes, and an inflated, irrcdecmablc
currency, is a puzzle to political econ
omists. Immigrants are still pouring
in, at the rate Of a thousand per day;
and all of them who know how to do
anything, and will do it, find employ
mcnt and remuneration. Labor is as
well paid in the average, and as COM
lortably subsistcd, as it was when we
had next to no debt, light taxes, and Il
currency convertible into specie at
par. The real estate of the country
could be sold to-day for more money
rcduccd to specie than it was worth
ten years ago. Most Of our people arc
prospcring many are amassing wealth.
Houses are being built on every hand ;
lands are being improved; new farms
are being hcwn out Of the forest and
crayed from the wild prairie; our
railroads are being extended at the
rate of thousand miles per annum (;
and the product Of our National In
dustry in 1867 will be larger than that
Of any former year. ,
Do we not need a new political
economy recognizing and adapted to
this state of facts ?-N J. Tribune.

Remains of an OF Millionaire.

A correspondent writing from III
tusvillc, December Sd, 1866, furnishes
the particulars of the sale of the Steele
or Widow McClntock farm. This
property, which afforded net income
to Steele, when the property came into
his possession, was disposed of for the
sum of $1,000. Even at this price it
was "bid in" by Government officials;
so the sum named is no criterion Of its
worth or value. Some two months,
ago it is reported that attorneys came
from Philadelphia with judgments in
favor of a hotel, a jewelcr and a tailor,
against Steele for the trihing sum of
seventy thousand dollars in the ag-
grcgate. This was for entertainment,
clothing and jewels furnished the
"milionaire and his friends" when
his credit was good. The Sheriff levi
ed on the farm aforesaid, and had re-
ceived bid of over $4,000, when
the United States Collector forbade
the sale on account of the prior lien Of
the Government.

IT is a singular fact that lives ap-
parcntly most prccarious at their be-
ginning are often protracted to an un-
usual length. The Frenchman, Fon-
tenelle, who survived to within a few
weeks of a century, was thought to be
stillborn. Voltaire, who died at eighty
four, was very puny infant, Lyman
Beechcr, who attained his eighty
eighth, year, was painfully diminu-
tive and sickly babe, whilst the dis
tinguished DR.. Spaulding, who gradua-
led at Harvard about the same time
that Mr.. May received his diploma at
Yale, like him was obliged to be alb
sent during part of his college course,
and was regarded as a consumptive
He, however, died at nincty-six, and
was the last survivor of his class. ]
may also be remarked in this connet
ton that our college presidents exhib
an unusually large percentage of long
evity. DR.. Mott, of Union, who w;
born in the same year with DR.. DaJ
reached ninety-three, and Josia
Quincy, of Harvard, ninety-two, viii
many others completed or passed thel
three-score and ten.
