The most startling development Of tho
nineteenth century, is the appearance of q
book entitled "Nojoque,' written by Hinton
Rowan Hel per, OF North Carolina.
In this work he dooms all races to exter-
mination, talks Of WHITE aud BLACK Repub-
licans Copperhead, "BLAcK Congress-"
white man goyer:nent," and many other
strange things. When we remember that
this same Helper is the author of Hell lper's
Impending Crisis" aud that the endorse-
meut of it by 6S members Of Congress- and
the raising of fund to circulate 100 900
copies Oft in Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, were
the chief cause of Line oln's election, we may
be constantly startled to learn that he hss is-
sued this new work, aud advertised it in the
N. Y. Day Book Conserrator.

Taxes and MONEY Interest.

The average rate of taxes in Ohio is two
per cent. on the assessed value OF property
listed. The lawful interest of money being
six per cent, one-third of the income is
taxes. 1t is the same with rents. One
third of the rent is consumed in paying
taxes The people who wish to shirk the
payment of taxes, call in their debts and
put their money in Government bonds :;
aud the taxes they shirk are borne by other
people. Mr.. Sham Loyal has one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars in Government
bonds, and he saves three thousand dollars
a year INTAKES. which his neighbors have
to pay for him. This is the case with our
State and county taxes.
Butotoienable the United States tol let the
bondhoIder 20 free OF tax, the people have
TO. bear a tax on every thing they wear,
everything they eat and everything they
do. They must pay twenty millions a year
to the Chase bonds for the trouble of Civ
ing us three hundred millions of shinplas-
ter money They must pay one hundred
and twenty millions year to keep an army
blat.k and white at the South to- give the
people Republican Government. Tue bonds
must be taxed--must be taxed, and taxed.
and taxed at the full rate of one-third of
the interest, as the people of Ohio are tax
ed. And we must have Legislature that
will represent the people-5he people, aud
not act as mere toadieS to a whisky Con-
gress.-UrbQnG U7aiOn.--~f ss=z-l r. sg--rrF

Cafching Sharks i'm the South Pa.
GifiC. f-s-r r1u5

CifiC. .iiAm r1ul
A remarkable mode Of catching sharks is
practiced bv the natives of Aitutaki. At
one end of the island is large lagoon,
formed by the reef that runs rounds it,
stretching far out from the land. and there
the sharks breed and are regularly fed. As
they are very prolitie-I have seeusas many
as twenty-five and thirty little ones taken
out of q shark=they incr, ase rapidly.
When any feasting is going on amongst
the natives, sharks being held necessary TO
complete the variety of food. parties are
sent out to catch them in the lagoon. Pro-
vidtd with long rope and supply of bait,
two or three young men start off in canoe,
and taking up position over the haunts of
the sharks, ,throwTover bait until the mpn-
sters have eaten to rtpletion. Waiting quiz
etlg in their cano-s, the fishermen soon see
the sharks stretching themselves lazily on
the sand, with their heads Just out Of the
caves formed b, the overhanging rocks that
rise from the bottom of the lagoon. With
anoose in these of the rope which he
holds in his hand, man quietly slips from
the canoe into the sea, dives down to a
shark, slips the moose over his tail, and as,
with a jerk OF the rope, he t. lis the men
above the prey is fast. ne himself, with
strong spring from the GROUND, quickly ri
ses 70 the surface. All pulling at the rope
together, the shark lis soon brought to the
waters edge, and as the tail is raised out
of the sea, he becomes helpless; then, with
strong pull together. after moments
spell, the shark is suddenly bounced into
the canoe. Frequently as a shark lies at
the mouth of the cave, with only his head
out. tue tail cannot he reached. O The diver
has then to tap the monster gently on the
head, who, lazy and ldrowsy after the good
feed just supplied from the canoe, quietly
turns lis tail tu the eiutIu1er-and, by Jove,
on slips the neoss before he knows it is
there. llls. p. i9rs .1z.ss.oq aaf11,f s.l .i,aiL

"A -aAskilIfursmo,d.nan.

Some out of the way author tells an
amusing aneedOte about three foreigners, an
Englishman, a Frencbman and an Ameri-
cai, who were officers in the Turkish ar
my. One day they got into a friendly dis
p1te with each ether in the presence of
Paeha of high rank as to their respective
dexterity- in the use of the sword each
claiming superior skill. The Pacha after
hearing their discussion, gravelyI informed
them that he wished to put their ypreten-
sions to the test,s and that as there, were
three criminals to be beheaded on the,
following morning, in pursuance of "a
sentence of the court, he would re-
gust that each of the officers should DEM
Onstrate what he could do with his sword
by helleading one of the condemned. Ac-
cordingly on the morrow at an early hour
they repaired to the place OF execution,
where they found the Parha and his staff
waiting for them. The first criminal was
brought forward with his nrms pinioned
and made to kneel. The Englishman was
notified that it was his time to dis
play his skill. He advanced, drew his
sabre, and with an exhibition of
great strength cut off the head of the
victim. The oPaeha duly commencing
the Englishman's r feat, ordered the
second criminal to be brought out in the
same manner. and informed the Frenchm an
that there was his man. The Frenchman
first went up to the kneeling culprit and
tied around his bare neck narrow blue
RIBBON, then stepping back aud bowing
gracefully to the Pacha and his suit, he
drew his sword, and after sundry elegant
floqrishes in the air, executed most beau
tiful cut, severing the head from the body of
the victim and splitting the ribbon precise-.
ly in the mi1dle. The delighted Pacha,
after mplimenting the su eri0r grace
and dexterity of the Frenchman, ordered
the third criminal to 6 be z brought
out, Z and motioned the American
to proceed. The American, after request
ing that the calprit might be allowed to
stand on his feet. stepped forward, and
making single quick but apparently care
less cut.-returned his sabre to the scabbard,
and turning about resumed his place, leav-
ing Ills victim apparently unharmed. OBJ
serving. however. that his competitors and
even the dignified Moslems were laughing
at his supeos, d failure, he remarked in a
qnies tone to the eulprit: "Spitaif you
please" And when the criminal leaned
forward to comply with this polite request
to the surprise of the spectators, his head
tumbled off. S'1--- -''n' & :.',i.iv
