BUSINESS

The dullness in trade here at this time
il unprecedented. Every branch of bus
mess is laBgUishing, especially those de-
pending upon the taste and culture of
the people for their support. Book pub
fishers, music dealers, retailers OF art
productions and such like have an up
bill time OF it. While the Convention
was in session they were encouraged in
common with their brethren of the dry
goods and other materialistic branches,
but since that body adjourned they have
reiapsed into al almost hopeless dullness,
ont of which they see no escape until
the contest between Radicslism and De-
mOcracy is decided in November. Of
the triumph of the latter most OF them
have high hopes, as by it they anticipate
permanent political relief for our section,
whence they say there is Just now re-
flected all their misfOriunes. The pOck
et-nerve OF the North and the East and
the West, sensitive Of the decay aud
death in trade induced in the South by
indecent Radicalism, will move the ira
ders and workers of these sections to IN
usual efforts for the triumph of Seymour
and Blair. They are at last alive to 9ll
our woes, and fearing results TO them
selves more serious than have yet befsl-
len us, will strain themselves in the good
work prepared for our party.

FLACEs on AMUsEMENT.

The sensational drama and spectacu

of the Democracy. Without point or in
terest, in some instances positively inde-
cent, il is really matter or wonder and
surprise that even in New York, with its
" cosmopolitan CROWN so much of 50
little could be tolerated for two years or
more. At NiblO's, where the White
FIIUg, parsphrase Of the Black Crook,
has held the stage for some $50 nights,
the pigusnt and almost indicate opera
bOgte Of Offenbsch, is about to be given
with all the accessories of Stage effect
and dressing, for which that place
is famous. The series will comprise
" La Belle Helene" Duchess de Gerol-

of one is pretty much that of the other
msdly rollicking, enoughso to compel al
least the marking Of time by the threat
of PuritRns. The scenes are sersuous to
the last degree, combining half nude
dressing, and acting and postuTings o.
the utmost abandon on the part Of actors
and actresses. Paris has gone mad ovel

Attention is also directed to the following section

" The Assessor of said county is authorized and
is hereby made his duty to collect all the poll or

taxes upon all movable personal property and upon
the entry of any assessment of movable personal

the payment of such tax within the county, to de-

and if such person, firm, corporation, association,
or company shall refuse neglect to pay such
taxes, the Assessor shall, by virtue of the power
herein vested in him, proceed to collect such taxes
in the same manner prescribed by law for the Col
lector."
If Tax Payers were to have a list of their pro-
perty prepared, ready to be sworn to, as the law
directs, by the time of my reaching them, they
would thereby perhaps save themselves much an

M0sT STRANGE CHAPTER EXPLAINED
A Mrs. Clinton, Post Mistress at Broadhead,
Wisconsin, has written the following to the
Cincinnati Commercial
Having noticed in the Commercial of the
18th inst, a highly incredible story copied
from the La Crosse wis., Democrat. per
tanning to n person whose sex, it was claimed
was changed at the age of puberty from that
OF the female to the male gender, my Curl
osity to know what truth there might be in
so strange a story, led me to address the
Postmaster of the town where this remark
able freak of nature is said to have occurred,
for information on the subject. The follow.
ing response from the Post Mistress of the
tow n of Broadhead, although not scientifically
explaining the question of T" sex" pertaining
to the individual under discussion, is suff.
GENTLY suggestive to enable one to draw a
tolerable correct conclusion therefrom
Mr.. Burnham, so called, was probably
born a hermaphrodite belonging to neither
SEX and was assigned by the parents to the
female department of the family but upon
attaining the age of maturity, the change of
the feminine voice and the growing of a
crop of whiskers," indicated a predomi-
nance of the male gender, whereupon Mrs.
Powell donned male attire. and changed her
relations from that OF wife to husband.
so-called.
The story of said individual, having been
first mother and then father, it will be
seen by the accompanying note of the Post
Mistress, is without foundation, as was to
have been expected:
BRoADHEAD, Wis, January l., 1868.
Sir: The story you wish information
about is partly true. Ellen Burnham was
married as a woman. | attended her wed
ding party She lived two or three years in
that relation; then changed her clothing,
lived single year or two, then married a
lady of my acquaintance. l understand
they lived happily together. He never was
father or mother. They were some of the
first people of the town. His father was
physician, and very fine man. Yours, re-
spectfully. Mrs. ELEANOR H. CLINTON.

In heavy sleep the Caliph lay,
When some one called "Arise and pray
The angry Caliph cried. "who dare

A voice. cut sharply through the gloom =
" Ny name is Satan Rise obey
Mohammed's law: Awake and pray"
"Thy words are good" the Ca!iph said,
:" But their intent l somewhat dread
For matters cannot well be worse,
Than when the thief says, Guard your purse.
| cannot trust your council, friend,
1t surely hides some wicked end"
Said Satan =" Near the throne of God,
In ages past the devils trod;
Angels of light, to us twas given
To guide each wandering foot to Heaven.
Not wholly lost is that first love,
Nor those pure tastes we knew above.
Roaming a continent
The Tartar moves his shifting tent,
But never quite forgets the day
When in his father arms he lay;
So we, once bathed in love divine,
Recall the taste of that rich wine.
Gods finger rested ON my brow
That magic touch, l feel it now !
l fell, I is true,-O ack not why
For still to God | turn my eye;
1t was a chance by which 1 fell;
Another takes me back from Hell.
IT was but my envy of mankind,

But yet Gods tables open stand,
His guests flock in from every land,
Some kind act toward the race of men
May toss us into Heaven again.

And God the player, pieces we.
White, black, queen, pawn, tits all the same,
For on both sides he plays the game.

We rise and fall as suits his will"
The Caiiph said; " If this be so

For how can l thy words believe,

You never tempt to good, but i'll.
Tell them the truth, for well know

Loud laughed the iiend. Z" You know me well
