Song of the Taxed.
RY SPENCER W. CONE.

Rock-a-by, baby-your fathers a slave
To the frantic fool and the Radical knave,
And even the cradle you sleep in, poor dear
May be sold to pay taxes in less than year,
He works for you harder each day than before
But each night brings him home to a lessening
For, of all that he earns, there's but little it
leaves
After feeding pet negroes and Radical thieves
He's taxed on the hat that he wears on his head !;
The boots on his feet and the sheets on his bed !;
Every rag that he wears; every morsel he eats,
His tea and his coffee; his bread and his meats /;
The pot they are cooked in, the cup that he fills,
Every implement used on the land that he tills,
Every tool that he works with; the lamp that he
burns;
The thing that he works on; the wages he earns
On the stove in the kitchen, the coal, too-still
higher;
Ayl even the match that sets light to the fire;
On his pipe of tobacco, his whisky and beer;
On the medicine he buys for you, poor little dear.
To the taxes he pays we now see no end =.
No, not even death, crushed humanity friend.
They tax cen his coffin, his shroud and his
grave;
And his baby must starve and his widow must
slave
To hide in the earth he has hopelessly titled,
The heartbroken husband whom taxes have
killed
Rock-a-by, baby, sleep on whilst you can,
Thank God for the years ere you grow to a
man;
For though your poor father to-day is slave
To the fanatic fool and the Radical knave,
He'll vote for you baby that you may be spared
The curse and the ruin your parents have shared,
And pray that your life may be saved from his
shame
And the birthright of freedom be more than
name.
Rock-a-by, baby, sleep while you may, -,
1, and mo
pray,
That the Radical sharks, with their taxes and
lies, ;,
Nav be swept as cloud from Americas skies,
And new bow of promise be set IN the air,
With the conquering banner of Seymour and
Blair

& beautiful city DESTROYED.

Arequipa, the most beautiful city in Peru,
was completely overthrow by the earthquake
of August the 18th. It was solidly built ofstone,
and contained about sc, 600 inhabitants. With
out exaggeraton [ may say that not one stone
has been left upon another Not church is
left standing, not house is habitable. The
solidty of the buildings enabled them to resist
the first shocks, and gave time to the inhabitants
to escape to the streets and squares, but was
not sufficient to arrest the continued violence of
the earthquake. The number of persons buried
beneath the ruins was about 200
The earthquake commenced with an undulat-
ing movement, and as the shock eliminated no
one could keep his feet the houses rocked like
ships In the trough ofthe sea, and came crumb-
ling down. The shrleks Of the women and the
crash of falling masonry the upheaving Of the
earth and the clouds of binding dust made up
a scene of terror that cannot be described. =
Nineteen minor shocks took place the same
night, and at latest accounts the earth still con-
tinued in motion. The earth has opened in all
the plains around the city, and water has ap-
reared in various places
The neighborhood of Tiabaya and Sabandia
and the outlets of the beautiful city have shared
their lot
The city of Iquibue, the most important place
in Southern Peru, was almost totally destroyed
A few minutes after 5 P NJ, on the 18th inst,
the Inhabitants were terrified by loud subterra-
mean noises, presaging the approach an earth
quake The shock Immediately followed. Every
building was shaken to its foundation The
population rushed into the streets, and those
who were not buried by the falling walls made
their escape into the open country with all speed
Had they remained in the city, the entire po-
pulation must have persisted, as Immediately on
the passing OF the first shock the sea retired for
some distance and then returned with a great
rush and a roaring sound more terrible than the
loudest thunder. The wave was of dreadful
height and force, and swept irresistibly over the
town, completing the ruin begun by the earth
quake. Not a mercantile establishment has
escaped, nor does vestige remain of the most
opnlent and handsome section of the town.
The massive buildings belonging to the nitrate
merchants, mostly constructed of stone and
lime, have entirely disappeared Buildings
constructed of timber were swept away at once,
leaving nothing to mark the place where they
stood.

Mcre Heavily Taxed Than ANY Other Ma
ton.

We have repeatedly declared that the people
of the United States, at this time, are more
heavily taxed than those of any other country.
This the radicals deny. But let facts settle the
dispute. The following is the debt of the
prominent nations of the world, and the aver
age amount per capita Great Britain, 81, OOO,-
900, 900; per capita, 1888 49, France, So,
000,00O,0 900; per capita, $54 10. Russia, ST.

$685., 900, 900; per capita, $33 A. Prussia,
5000 900; per capita, 81 &C. Portugal,
$3.50, 900; per capita, $37 so. Belgium,
$3.50, 000,0 600; per capita, 500 SO. Bavaria,
$l3O,OOO,O0O per capita, $27 50. Brazil,
$SS, 100000 per capita, 81 49, Denmark,

100000; per CAPITA 500 %. Wurtemburg,
$25, 900; per capita, $l4 II. Greece,
$50, 900; per capita, 500 The United
States owe 50, 900, 900, 900, which, divided up
among the 100000 of whites, makes the
per capita sum of national obligation $50 &C..
We owe debt which is at least one third of
all the property in the country, while the debt
of Great Britain is less than one tenth of its
means Of paying. These are facts which
should make the people pause and consider be
fore voting for Grant and the radical party. A
radical victory in November will be followed by
still further increase Of debt and taxation
Gov Holden, of North Carolina, writes that
the State will promptly meet all interest On her
public debt that may become due on and after
the first of October next. All interest due prior
to that time will be funded on application at
the Treasury of the State.
The best civility-Excess Of ceremony shows
want of breeding that civlity is best which
excludes all superhuous formality.
