come, sir; 1,6oe pounds of wool at 81 per
pound, Sc 400; deducting 81 900, exempt
by law, leaves St, ,400, at 5 per cent. equals

I paid $50, now pay s270, over Eve
times as much. $3.50, ,6OO, 900 internal
revenue was raised annually when paid
tax of $50. Now 81 ,2s0, 100000, or
FIVE times as much, will be raised the We.
ry first year. Now, instead Of paying in
terest, it will all be Cancelled against our
war debt Before, almost the whole Of
the $3.50, 600, 900 was appropriated to pay
interest. Now,who would not have money
to pay their tax? The merchants goods
would be marked up at once, The in
creased wages to the laborer would ena-
Bile him to pay the merchant Every
body's pockets would be full of money
while the debt was being paid. Enough
gold would be received at our custom
houses to pay our foreign officials, and the
balance, if any, sold to the highest bid
der, to help here at home"
We present the above to add to the
store Of thought on the subject of which
it treats. No more important matter can,
at this time, occupy the attention of the
people; and whatever will contribute to
set them thinking on it, should be pre-
sented for the public consideration.

The Intelligence Of our Newly
Made Voters.

A Meridian (Miss.) correspondent Of
the Cairo Democrat relates the following
incident as illustrating the intelligence Of
our newly-made voters. He says:
Last week was in Shubuta, and went
in the registry Office. A colored gent
came forward, and the following ensued:.
Reporter man-What is your name2
A-Henry.
R-What is your other name?
A-Henry.
R-But don't you have any name but
Henry?
A-Some OBJ de niggers calllme John.
son.
R-We will put your name down Hen
ry johnson.
R-Where do you live?
A-Shubuta.
R-What county do you'll live in2
A--Shubuta.
R-What State have you lived in the
last year?
A-Shubuta.
R-This is Mississippi State, and you
must vote here and nowhere else.
The oath administered, Henry put his
finger on top the pen, and took it OFF a
qualified legal voter. Henry retired, ap-
as much delighted as maiden
in her teens returning from the hymenial
altar, with one whom BIZ q parson the
twain had been made enc flesh.

sLITTLE JIM.o

This pathetic little poem was reoited by Mr.
Couldock at the Water Street Theatre som'
years ago:
The cottage was thatched one, the OUTSIDE
old and mean,
Yet everything within that cot was wond'rou'
neat and clean;
The night was dark and stormy the wind wa
bowling wild,
A patient mother watched beside the death
bed Of her child
A little worn ont creature-his encs bright
eyes grown dim;
It was the collier's wife and child-they called
him aLittle JIM"
And ohi to see the briny tears fast hurryine
down her cheek,
As she offered up prayer in thought-she
was afraid to speak,
Lest she might 'waken one she loved far better
than her life,
For she had all mothers heart, had that
poor Golfers wife
With hands uplifted, seel she knesls beside
the sufferers bed,
And prays that He will spare her boy. and
take herself instead.
She gets her answer from the ohild-soft fall
these words from him:
aMother, the angels do 50 smile, and beckon
Little Jim;'
have no pain, dear mother, now, but oh, l
am so dry
Just moisten poor Jim's lips again. and moth
or, don't ye cry.n
With gentle, trembling haste she held tea
cup to his lips;
he smiled to thank her as he took three little
tiny sips
Tell father, when he comes from work. said
good night to him;
And mother, now I'll go to Sleep" Alas
poor aLittle Jim."
She saw that he was dying-that the child
ouo Aofou oV U0ak
Had uttered the last words that she might
ever hope to hear;
The cottage door is opened--the collier's step
is heard
The father and the mother meet, but neither
speak word-v
He felt that all was over-he knew his child
was dead;
He took the candle in his hand and walked
toward the bed;
bis quivering lips gave token of Che grief he'd
fain conceal
And seei his wife has joined Aim--the strick-
ened couple kneel;
With hearts bowed down with sadness. they
humbly ask of Him
In heaven once more to meet again their own
poor aIittle JIM"

AsGay and Festive Cuss.''

The Cincinnati Gazette, after organi-
zing the aring' that defeated Mr.. Gallo
ways nomination for Governor, thus pats
him on the back as the master does bis
puppy dog to restore his good nature:
1.-THE strong vote for Mr.. Galloway,
which indicated him as the second choice,
was handsomely recognized by rendering
him the nomination fer Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and he did a graceful actin accept
ing it. He will add force, viyacity, and
festivity to the speaking canvass .
That makes Samuel out TO bea "gay
and festive cuss," and nothing else. But
such pats will not reconcile him to the
deliberate slaughter Of innocents which
took place when the Sands and Gazette
aring" succeeded and Galloway was de-
feated for Governor.

THE CRop PRospEcT-The reports
through our exchanges South and West
arealmost unanimously encouraging for
the wheat and corn crops. Notwithstan-
ding the wetness and consequent lateness
of the season, damaging the fruit consid-
erably, and to some extent disceuraging
the cotton planters in some Of the Gull
States, the wheat and corn cropsof South
Carolina, Northern Georgia and Alaba-
ma, Northern Mississippi and Arkansas,
have never given better promise. The
breadth Of ground, too, that has been
sown is far greater than the most SAN
guine had ventured to hope. From Wis
iconsin, Ohio. Minnesota, Indiana and
Michigan the accounts are equally cheer

TO Boil A HAM.-Cut or scrape the
black part from the ham, and if very salt,
soak from six to eight hours; tie it in .
cloth, and cover with cold water; add two
bay leaves, two carrots Sliced, four to six
onions, four cloves and four cloves of gar
lie, six stalks of parsley, two of thyme
two stalks Of celery, half bottle Of
white wine. A handful of timothy hay
improves it very much. For ham Of
twelve pounds, from four to six hours is
necessary for boiling; then take ii out Of
the water, and remove the small bone
from the large end, then remove the rind
and decorate with jelly; when done, the
bone is tender and easily bent

EFFICACY OF ONIoNs.-A writer says:
We are troubled oftenwith severe coughs,
the result of colds Of long standing,
which may turn to consumption or pre-
mature death. Hard coughs cause sleep
less nights by constant irritation in the
throat, and a strong effert to throw of
offensive matter from the lungs. The
remedy I propose has been tried by me,
and often recommended to Others with
good results, which is simply to take into
the stomach a piece of raw onion, after
chewing. This esculent in an uncooked
state is very heating, and tends to collect
the waters from the lungs and throat,
causing Immediate relief to the patient.
