ANOTHER SwINDLE.-It has been discover
ed that new and ingenious mode of cheating
the government out of the tax on whisky has
been devised by some unprincipled distiliers
and Others. A machine has been invented
which will split the oak headings of whisky
barrel into strips as thin as piece of maho-
gany or rosewood veneering; sheet of this
kind can be put on the barrel head and fitted
to the groove so as to form part of the head
ing Outside upon this are placed the revenue
stamps and the .guagers mark; and when the
barrel is emptied this thin heading can be re-
moved intact, without injuring the stamps or
the guager's mark, the barrel refilled and the
old heading replaced on it.

The New York Observer tells of a clergy
man whose horse died of bots. Some of the
worms were put into spirits of turpentine and
other fluids commonly fatal to vermin, but
they were not at all affected They were then
put into the juice of common potato, and died
instantly Another horse in the same neigh
borhood was suffering severely from bots,
when quart of potato juice was poured down
his throat, which soon relieved him of his pain
and continuance of the treatment effected a
permanent cure

The work goes bravely on. Conser-
vatlves III great numbers are declaring
for Grant and Colfax. This makes the
Democracy tremble in its shoes. They
already know and realize their DOOM
Among the prominent conservatives who
are declaring for Grant and Colfax is Ex
Senator j. S. Carlisle, of West Virginia.
He has published a strong letter in the
Baltimore Americasa, in support of the
Republican Presidential nominees. I'm
till recently he has acted with the Dem
ocratic party. Encouraging and graft
flying news is received from different por-
tions of the Sonth. From Georgia We
learn that the republicans are working
earnestly and enthusiastically in favor
of Grant and Colfax. Ex-Gov. Brown
aud other strong men, are addressing
Republican meetings.

The third son of the Emperor Alexander of
Russia, Grand Duke Alexis AlexandroyitclI
sailed on Saturday last from Algeria for nle
United States. Grand Duke Alexis was born
in January, 1850, and is, therefore, in his 18th
year. This is, We believe, the first visit to this
country from member of the Imperial FAM
ly of Russia. 1t is well known fact that dur
ing our late war no one of all the monarchs of
Europe exhibited so warm an interest in the
restoration of the Union as the Emperor Al
exander. The reception of the young Grand
Duke by the people of the United States will
undoubtedly show that this fact is held in
grateful remembrance

BRICK PoMERoY's New PAPER-The New
York Democrat is sent us in the way of ex-
change, and its pages are scanned with deep
interest-purely on account of the notorious
character of the editor. The first numbers, we
think, are hardly as foul and ribald as we have
been led to suppose his La Crosse sheet to
have been, and the opinion among the New
York Journals is, that he is disposed, in en-
tering upon his new theatre of action, to as
sumo virtue he don't possess, and to cater
for better reputation. Having secured the
support of the slums of democracy,a bid for a
better class, with the hope of drawing from
both, is an idea shrewdly conceived, and wor-
thy of the genius of the man. 1t is sufficiently
sharp and rational in tone, and perhaps, is a
very fair eXponant of the party in that Sodom
of a city. 1t assumes to be par excellence, the
true organ of the party, and puts the old or
gans Ito whom it talks with the authority OF a
father) outside of the ring. 1t is
about the size of the New York Sun, AMI in
typographical execution and general appear
anee, compares favorably with the city jour
mails.
