4 Singular argument.

The New York Times had singular
article on Monday, apropos Of General
Logan's resolutions looking to the taxa
lion of the Government bonds. 1t did
not deny that the public faith was pledg-
ed, when the loan was contracted, that
the bonds should not be taxed, but de-
clared that the people were determined
not to endure their exemption any long
er, and coolly informs the bondholders
that "they will not be wise in attempt
ing any resistance" The fact that ex-
emptlon from taxation was one of the
conditions on which the bonds were tax
en- would be Sufficient" the writer says,
''to close all abstract argument on the
point. But government and politics are
not conducted strictly according to alb
stract principles We do not well
know what is meant here by 'abstract
principles" but we do know that both
politics and government have to be con-
Quoted, in order to succeed, on principles
of common sense and common honesty
There is nothing abstract whatever
about the nations engagements with It's
creditors, nor will there be anything ''ab-
stract" about the swindle, if it swindles
them. The whole affair is an ordinary
promise to pay an ordinary debt. We
trust, too, that the bondholder will not
be bamboozled into taking metaphysi-
cal view of his case, or of the peoples
behavior. Every bondholder, if he is
either bullied by Senator Sherman's bull
into exchanging his six per cent for five
per cent bonds, or by General Logan's
resolutions into submitting to taxation,
will owe it to TIE great interests of mo-
rality, TO the national honor and welfare
to cry out against the iniquity, TO remind
the world that a swindle committed by
Il million is as much swindle as a swim
dle committed by one, that the moral
law cannot be altered by popular vote,
and that either OF the transactions which
are now proposed, by way of tightening
the public burdens, would sink the ma
| tional credit below that of Greece, Spain
or Turkey, because those countries are
poor, while the United States is rich.
The assertion Of the Times, by-thc-by,
that ''the compulsory reduction of the
interest is i'll accordance with the prac-
tice of England" is not only very mis-
chievous assertion, but has no founda-
ton in fact. This story was concocted
by that ingenious finaucier, General But
Ter, when he first introduced his little
sreenback scheme to public notice.-THe

Maple Sugar Making.

Although every man who owns
maple orchard supposes he is competent
to make as good sugar rs can be pro-
duced, yet the immense differences in the
quality OF that sent to market shows how
easy it is to be mistaken. 1t is not 50
difficult to make a nice article, but not
every man knows how TO do it, or Is
willing to give that attention to the de-
details of the business which is necessary
to ensure success. The difference in
price between good and poor article
will amp Y pay for the additional care,
besides ensuring a more ready sale. We
give from an exchange some most excel
lent directions for making maple sugar,
which if followed will not fail of produ-
cng most excellent article.

alder spile in preference to any metal l
have ever tried and if properly cleaned
every spring, with your pans or buckets,
there will be no danger of soured sap.
My plan is to hot lime juice them; with
good rinsing.
For cleansing your syrup after strain
ing through double woolen cloth into
a tub, let it stand two hours in order to
settle; then draw off by a faucet, insert
ed in the side of the tub one inch above
the bottom, that will give you the clear
stuff. Then place over the fire, and on
coming to a boil, add a pint Of new sweet
milk to every 20 gallons, to slack it; and
skim well as long as anything comes to
the top.
Stir your sugar for one hour, while it
is cooling and graining, in large wooden
trays or bowls, with thin wooden pad
dla, and you will have as white, nice
sugar as you could wish.
If you would economize time and
wood, by all means have tight sugar
house over your furnace, for cold gust
of wind, blowing on the surface, will
stop the boiling, as the vapor is thrown
back by lids into the syrup. Tryit for "A
moment with lid, then raise your lid
and see the water dripping back. The
faster the evaporation the better the
sugar.

Railroad Communication With
the UeSt.

The Rome, Watcrtown and Ogdens-
burg railroad forms an important link in
the line OF railroad which is 10 connect
Portland with the great West The re-
port of this company for the year 1867
has gust come 10 hand, and shows steady
annual increase in the traffic over the
route and Il corresponding increase of
profits to the stockholders. But though
the prosperity of the road is remarkable,
the report gives ut considerable length
the reasons which make it for the ad-
vantage of both East and West that its
should be extended. 1t it demonstrated
to the satisfaction of any reasonable mind
that when the direct route from Portland
to Ogdcnsburg, Oswego and the West is
opened, the line having its Eastern ter
minus in this city will possess undoubt-
eds advantages over any other. The
advantages for cheap transportation at
forded by the great lakes will become
Immediately available, and from the
Eastern limit Of water transportation the
proposed road will form the shortest
route to the Atlantic. Without further
preface we quote from the report the fol-
lowing extract, which will be found wor-
thy of the most careful consideration
1t is thought proper to allude to the
general interest and entire unanimity now
felt on the one hand by the people ot

The GREAT VICE OF OCR AGE.-
DR. kirkbridge, Superintendent OF the
Pennsylvania Insane Hospital, in hns last
report, refers to 1874 cases of insanity rs
induced by intemperance, but says that
he is satisfied that this is far below the
real truth, for many other cases are real
ly the result of the imtemperance OF par
ents, husbands or others, without which
the diseases would not have been devcl-
oped. He says: "Intemperance is
steadily on the increase in both sexes,
and with all classes of people. OF this
there can hardly be question. 1t is i'll
deed rapidly becoming the great vice OF
our age and country, giving to the Crimi-
nal Courts the largest share of their busi-
ness, filling up the wards of our hospi
tails and other Charitable Institutions,
crowding our Almshouses, and blight
ing the fairest hopes and brightest
anticipations of whole families in
every walk of Ife."
