PATENT CORN DROPPER.

TNHIS Dropper will positively save
i one-half the time over the old way
of dropping corn.
1t will drop right in the cross.
1t can be set to average any number
of grains desired to hill.
1t can be regulated to scatter the
corn more or less in the hill, or drop
it all in a close bunch if desired. In
windy weather this Dropper is just the
thing needed, as the corn cannot be
blown about while dropping.
All who have used these Droppers
agree in the opinion that the corn
comes up more regularly after them,
and there is less re-planting to do, be-
cause they drop a more regular number
of grains TO hill, and every grain is
sure to be in the cross, where they are
covered alike. ..>.
Every Dropper will be warranted to
do all that is herein claimed for them,
or they will be taken back and the
money refunded.

Mr.. RIDDLE, of Richie. in his re-
marks ON the Railroad question yes
tsrday, propounded what seems TO US n
very curious argument. This WAS that
nothing would be made by. taxing the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, because
the Company would Just add the
amount of their taxea to the rates
charged our people for fare and freightss
aud would thus get 1t all back from the
people OF the State. On this prineiple,
We could tax nothing. The merchant
adds his taxes to the goods he sells,
the mechanic and manufacturer to his
wares, The landlord to tho rent of his
house. the farmer to the price OF his
grain and stock. This is the universal
practice In every branch of trade and
commerce. The consumer finally pays
all taxes, and, as everybody Is a con-
sumner, every body pays his share OF
these burdens, aud thus are they hap.
PLY and evenly distributed. Yet be-
cause the merchant adds his taxes to the
goods and the mechanic To the warel
he sells US, wo do not for that reason
forbear to tax them. And why should

GEORGE ALYRBD TOWNSEND is q
Washington correspondent OF six daily
papers, and furnishes TO each two or
three letters u week, of from one TO
four columns each. BE gets about ten
-aollars a column and makes about
5000 a year, BE gels up every morn
log at four O'Clock and writes till noon
and spends the afIer part of the day In
gathering information. This is an
enormous amount of mental labor for
one man to do. and although Mr..
Townsend is yet quite young man
such constant drafts on his nervous
powers will break, him down in n very
few years. It.would be true economy
to spend the same amount of work over
greater length of time. 1t is better to
do less work per diem and live more
days Every, human being has only a
certain amount Of capital In the way OF
brain power and nervous endurance.
He can use up that capital In few
years, or he may so husband 1t that 1t
will last through the three score and
ten. The brilliant and excessive
brain workers OF whom Townsend is a
representative, use up their life capital
very fast, aud 'seldomlIye out half their
days. A man oan't eat his. cake and

VIZ mentioned yesterday that the

much solioitude, Is expressly exempted
from taxation by its charter until its

That gentleman, yesterday, In the

not in violation of the constitution, and
therefore void. II the opinion of a
