Toledo and Columbus Il. II.
A writer in the Marysville (Union
Co. } Tribune discusses the merits and
dement's of the various routes pro-
posed for the Toledo and Columbus
Railroad. The Tribune says that in
determining the location, the follow
ing considerations will no doubt have
influence.
l. Shortness of route. 2. The lar
Igest amount of local subscription. 8.
The least money per mile required to
build the road. 4. The line which
will command the most local bust
mes for the road.
He conce des to the Fostoria and
Upper San dusky route the advantage
in the matter of distance; but claims
for Findlay, Kenton and Marysville
route that less money will be required
to build it, and that 1t will yield to
the road when built, a larger amo unit
of business. The writer gives the
following reason for the faith that is
in him.
Because the ground is more favor
able, will require less grading and
bridging than its rival routes. After
leaving Columbus some 4 or 5 miles,
it will come into q level country,
without hill of importance for more
than sixty miles to Kenton, and then
no bridge of any magnitude except
across the Scioto river. Whereas,
the Delaware rout is directly up the
Olentangy river, thro' very hilly
rough county, yearly to Marion.
Again the rights of way through
Union, Hardin and Hancock can be
obtained for much less money than
through Delaware, Marion and
Wyandott-the country being newer
and the land cheaper. Besides the
people thro' Union, hardin and H an
cock want and need the road, where
as Delaware they do not need it and
the people in the country will
not want it; therefore will get all they
can for the right of way Again the
ties can be obtained on the Union
aud Hardin route much the cheapest.
All these circumstances clearly prove
that it will be much the cheapest
route for building the road.
The question of business he discuss
es as follows.
The Union Hardin route will COM
mand the most local business, be-
cause it is through a asterritory that
has no road running in the same direc-
ton, and is further removed from the
Columbus & Toledo roads than the
Delaware lines is; and as to the Day
ton & Michigan road it does not come
within fifty miles of it until it gets
north of Kenton.
For these and other reasons, the
writer concludes "that the Union,
Hardin and Hancock line is the one to |
the most local business, to |
develop the most new territory and
to add most to the business of both
Columbus and Toledo, and therefore
.he route that ought to be selected.

Putting up Sweet Corn.

The time will soon be here when
sweet corn will be ready to be put up
for Winter use, and few points in
regard to curing the article will not
be out of place.
Get your corn when the grains are
in prime order for table when the
corn is tenderest, and the juices are
sweetest. Boil the ears a few min
utes mot above five--three is better
than five. Then cut off and lay away
to dry. A fruit dryer is best; oven,
warm will answer very
well, or take any method that will
soonest dry your corn, being always
careful not to burn it; and do not lay
it in Jumps, or too close together
when drying, or it will soon mould.
stove, or where there is a
good place always avoiding damp
ness, steam, etc; put in sacks, and
hang it away in dry place, and
your corn is fit for next Winters
use. In using, you are to restore as
much as possible to its original state.
This is best done by first washing it
to get out dust and husk, and then
thoroughly soaking in water, the
water to be retained to boil it in.

STATE FINANCES.

Do you ever hear of the tax-gath.
erer in Lima?
In 1856 the taxes levied for all
purposes in the State were eight mil.
lion nine thousand five hundred and
thirteen dollars and ninety three
cents (Ss, s,O09,5l3 93). In 1866 they
were sixteen million eight hundred
and sixty-eight thousand four hun
dred and thirty-seven dollars and

more than twice as much, and this
amount was increased by the abstrae-
tion of nearly a million of dollars
from the soldiers relief fund, and
t application to the current expens-
les. In Allen county alone the taxa
tion for State purposes has run up
from eleven thousand three hundred
and forty-two dollars in 1856, to
twenty-five thousand one hundred
and eighty dollars. In 1865 the tax
es for ali purposes were upward of
twenty millions. In that year more
than two millions were raised for the
Soldiers, Relief Fund. The next
year, fearing to lay additional taxes,
even desiring to appear to reduce
them, they took the money thus lev
led, in direct violation to the Consti-
tuition, and. applied it to the Sinking
Fund. s.,
They boast of reducing the State
debt. Let us see. In ten years they
have paid off one million ninety.six
thousand two hundred and sixty dol
lars and two cents 1s, ,096, $50 02).

the whole ten years. Nor do we find

while my wife trembled and sweltered
under the bedclothes. heard no
footstep, but, as listened, my sense
of hearing became preternaturally
acute. [ heard the clock solemnly
ticking down stairs, and my watch
gathering furiously at the head of my
bed. The gentle sound of the wind
shaking the foliage seemed like the
roar of cataract, all the libidinous
cats of the city seemed to be prowling
about, and the air was vocal far and
near with the walls of unhappy dogs.
And then there were all kinds of
mysterious noises inside the house,
snappings and creakings and gnawing
sounds, that forcibly brought to mind
DIR. Holmes derisive remarks about
the Silly night"
Sometimes the noise would seem to
be near the garnet stairs, and it was
only by a great effort that / could
keep from firing my pistol prema-
turely. The hours dragged themselves
YEARLY along, and still [ heard nothing
from the burglar. AT times | thought
that [ might have been DOING
though / certainly could not-and
then | imagined that / heard him
close by the door, cautiously feeling
his way along the wall; and, at such
times, any startling noise, no matter
where it might come from, would
have caused me to fire recklessly into
the hall. la s,a eFefA
The stairs were placed in such
manner that, if went up the usual
way, on emerging into the garrett, [
would have the part of the floor
where | had heard the fall, behind
me. To avoid this, | turned around,
and, slowly and carefully, consuming
probably five minutes In the ascent,
backed up the stairs. The air from
above showed me that the window
was still open.
When my head was nearly level
with the floor of the garrett, [ stop

minute. No sound
Then, grasping my revolver firmly,
[ crouched, and then sprang up sud
denly, and looked around, and there,
PROSTATE upon the floor, lay-a great
pile of bar soap :
It seems that on the day before my
wife had bought a box of soap, and
had it carried up to the garrett. Ny
young barbarians, Fred. and Kate,
had seen it going up, and determined
to investigate the matter They had
got into the garnet unobserved, opened
the window for air, opened the box
for mischief, taken out the bars of
soap, and with them built structure
in the dollhouse style of architecture,
and when they were tired, came down
leaving it standing and the window
open. The heat of the afternoon sun,
striking the west side of the roof,
softened the childrens edifce; it
toppled gradually, and at eleven
o'clock it fell, and so was the cause of
our uneasy night.

uHethat by the plow would thrive
Himself must either hold or drive"

In this couplet there is much
more truth than poetry. BY ser
vile labor our planters used to
get on in hap hazard fashion; but
they we're at the constant mercy
Of oVerseers and creditors, and as
soon as failure came they were
utterly helpless. The truly indie
pendent man is the one who can
help himself-whose hands, like
those of Paul, the tent-maker, can
minister to his own necessities
Nor should there be such an effort
among the needy Of our people to
obtain easy occupations, Hard
work carries with it no degrade
ton. Labor is indeed one of the
truest Of hulnanitarians-one of
the most effective of civilizers-
it gives that independence with
out which no man can be. thor
oughly free. Young men by
thousands are flocking from the
country, where their services. are
needed as tillers of the soil, and
in our cities are wasting their
substance and their chances Of
ultimate independence as thor
oughly as did the prodigal son
who wandered away from home
and was at length reduced to the
sad necessity OF partaking of the
food which was meted out to
swine. The free healthful life of
an agriculturist is despised, be-
cause slaves once titled the fields,
and the slavery of the yardstick is
accepted in it's stead as a boon for
which the measurer of tape must
thank his generous employer
Such peurility is unworthy of any
person who is possessed of a sound
mind in a sound body. Let us
take advantage of our own posi-
ton, and instead of coaxing other
people to come and work for us,
go to work for ourselves. 1T this
be not done, not a single genera
tion will pass away before the es-
tates of our land-holders will pass
into other hands. Those who are
now afraid to put their hands to
the plow will become the helpless
mendicants Of the future. He
who will not help himself deserves
help from no one else.-[ N. O.

of the factt that in earnest, energet-

deal of the scarcity of labor, and
the Importance of procuring it
from other quarters of the globe.
All sorts of emigration projects
are proposed, and from the poor
means of the impoverished people
of the South vast sums have been
voted to invite emigrants from
abroad to come in and share with
us the peculiar advantages of our
position. Our legislative Solons
appear to entertain so poor an
opinion of the industrial powers
OF our own brave Southern men
that they place on them no re-
lance whatever. Foreigners can
work, and their services as labor
ers are highly priced, but to put
our own shoulders to the wheel
and become our own "hewers of
wood and drawers of water" is re-
garded by many among us as
utterly preposterous. Now we
opine that public opinion on this
