THE AMERICAN CENT.-The first
copper cent was produced in 1882 by
Robert Morris, the great fnancier of
the Revolution, and was named by JEFF
ferson, two years later. 1t began to
make its appearance from the Mint in
1892. 1t then bore the head of Wash
ington on one side and n chain of thir-
teen links on the other. The French
Revolution soon after created II rage for
French ideas in America, which put on
the cent, instead of the head of Wash
ington, the head of the Goddess of Lib
erty, with neck thrust forward and
! flowing locks. The chain on the re-
verse was replaced by the olive wreath
of peace. But the French liberty was
short lived, and 50 was our portrait on
our cent. In its stead a staid, classic
dame, with finely chiselled Grecian fea-
lures, and a fillet round the hair, came
into fashion forty or fifty years ago, and
continued until about ten years since,
when the much smaller and more con-
venient nickle cent appeared, with a
flying eagle in the place of Liberty's
head, in order that it might not be mis-
taken for the five dollar gold piece. In
the present new cent the Liberty head
has been restored.

A SWIFT RUNNER.-A Mexican cor
respondent writes: "We have had
some celebrated runners in the United
States, but scarcely equal to young
Mexican thirty-three years of age,
named Ochoa, who lives at Hidalgo, in
Southern Chihuahua. He has been
known to beat man on horseback for
Il distance of thirty miles. He has oft
en- made hundred and fifty miles in
twenty-four hours. a friend of mine
lately gave him five dollars to carry 8
letter fifty miles, and bring him an an
swer. He did it in twenty-five hours
taking, rs he thought, plenty of time
there being no great hurry. The last
fifty miles he made slowly in seven
hours. From this may be gained some
idea of the trained courier systems o
| Montezuma and the Peruvian lncas.

VALUE OF A NEWSPAPER.-A child
beginning to read becomes delighted
with newspapers, because he reads of
names and things very familiar, and
he will make progress accordingly. a
newspaper in one year, is worth quar-
ter's schooling to child, and every
father must consider that substantial
information is connected with this adj
vancement. The mother of family
being one of its heads and having a
more immediate charge of children,
should herself be instructed. A mind
occupied becomes fortified against the
ills of life, and is braced for any emer-
.gcncy.
Children amused by reading or study,
are, of course, considerate and are more
easily governed. How many thought
less young men have spent their earn
ings in tavern or grog-shop, who ought
to have been reading? How many pa
rents who never spent twenty dollars
for books for their families would glad
ly have given thousands to reclaim q
son or daughter who had ignorantly
and thoughtlessly fallen into temptation
who had no reading or any other attrac
ton at home

TO PAY TAXES.

IT is estimated that the land which
would be saved to use, by proper levee
system for the Mississippi river amounts
to about seven millions of acres an
area larger than some of the States.
The value of the cotton that could be
raised on this land, now comparatively
worthless, would at present rates,
2S cents pound, be about 1910 900, ,OOO
Taxed two and half cents pound,
this crop would pay to the United States
annually tax of S7,500,OO0. This is
more than the whole receipts of the
United States from duties on imports
during the fiscal year 1865, five times
the revenue from the tax on raw cotton
for the fiscal year 1866, and nearly one
fifth of the whole revenue of the United
States for the latter year. Thus it is
evident that this mass of real estate is a
very important portion of the landed
property, thatis fthe material strength,
of the United States.
During Mr.. Buchanan's admins
tration some gentlemen were appointed
to make survey and estimate of the
work, and they made very elaborate
report on the subject. ,Ofcourse the war,
poverty and neglect have left of the
old levees but wrecks, which are no
protection to this vast number of acres.
1t would seem as if some money now
foolishly expended by Congress could
be better used in assisting to reconstruct,
permanently and efficiently, the Miss
issippi Levees.
The estimates of Messrs. HUMPHREY
and ABBOT in 1858, gave as the total
cost of properly leveeing the Mississ-
ippi, if there had then been no levees
whatever, and If the whole work were
to be done from the beginning, about
S26,OO0,OOO, and to properly complete
those then existing, about S17,OOO,O0O
The sum recently asked for by Louisi-
ana was only $3,OOO,OOO. If this be
sufficient, and if Mississippi and Arkan-
sas need each as much, and if another
million be added for Missouri and
Tennessee, the wholeis $40, ,O0O, 900. This
is equal to what the Dutch pay every
three years simply for the ordinary re-
pairs of their dykes. The cotton tax on
the very firstsfull crop would return
more than the whole into the National
Treasury, besides that the work would
quickly place the States assisted in II
position to pay the whole of it.
