BEEF AND TAxEs.-In the ol len time it
was not unusual for animals to hold solemn
discourse on matters and things pertaining
to the welfare of man. That this faculty of
speech is not lost to the brute creation, but
has been transmitted from generation to
generation, is self-evident. The Ass spoke
in Balaam's time. The editor of the Journal
does the same thing to-day And BIobbs,
the gentle, seraphic Blobbs, reports the fol-
lowing history given of an Ok by bovine
friend of his, who was repeating his story
to herd of cattle near where our enter
prising friend lay sleeping under hay
stack g.grrrr. wc-r-v
"He was born" said the OK, sin Ohio.
The farmer to whom he belonged paid
tax -uponuhim as part of his income during
vealhood. hHe was sold when three years
old, and paid an income tax upon what he
brought. He was nicely fatted, until he
weighed ton, by Democrat of Franklin
county,, who paid the Government
a tax for the privilege of SELL
ing him to a butcher, who pays
a tax of ten dollars for, the privilege Of
selling meal. to the public, The butcher
sold his tallow to a chandler, who made 1t,
by paying license as manufacturer, into
candles for the poor people, who pay a FIVE
per cent. tax on candles to read or sew by.
His horns and hoofs were made into combs
and buttons and glue, and pay another tax.
His hi le went to the tanner, who pays a
manufacturers license, and is made into
leather, upon which is paid an ad ualorem
tax OF five per cent. The tanner sold the
leather to Wholesale dealer, who pays a
mercantile license and an income tax, and
he sells it to the shoemaker, and the shoe
maker made it into boots for the, laborer,
farmer and mechanic, and is obliged to
charge enough for them to cover all the
taxes enumerated together with his own
manufacturers tax"

CHICAGO, Aug. Is.
Advices from Sangamon county and
other localities in Southern Illinois, say
that the cattle disease is still prevailing
there. Mr.. Richardson, of the committee
appointed by the Packers Association to
investigate the matter, has been travelling
through that section considerably. In
report, published this morning, he
says: "As to the prevalence of the
malady, it may be said that there are
districts where it has done its work, and
there are others whore many deaths
will occur within another fortnight; Z;
but If the people OF the districts where The
Texas cattle are at present Will leave
them there, and not cause them to be driv-
en- about, there will soon be q complete
cessation of all diseases Near Reynolds
the people have been shooting Texas cat
tie, although they have not suffered tthe
of what the inhabitants of other districts
have suffered from this terrible malady.
We are about starting for kansas, and
hope shortly to give you a full report,

question of the moment to the graziers and

A Romantic Law Case.

The Courts of law will IN I'll probsbili
ty be occupied, early in the ensuing ssS-
sion. with one Of those remarkable cases
which so of ten occur in romances, and so
seldom in real life, Itappears that about
one hundred and twenty years ago large
estate close to one of the most important
of English manufacturing towns was in
the possession of the grandfather Of
the parties Of the present litigation. Since
that time the land has been built upon to
great extent, and now forms the most
wealthy suburb of the town in question
AT the death Of tho owner, his eldest son
finding that there was no will, naturally
claimed the estate The children of a
second marriage, however, who had new.
er lived ON good terms with their half
brother, protested against his title on this
ground that his parents had meyer been
been married, and that he was consequent
~ illegitimate. Il seemed at first that
there was no ground for this statement.
The parents had always been received in
acciety, and NO one had ever heard Of any
scandal in connection with them. On
making inquiry it was, however, found
impossible to discover any trace OF the
marriage, and the eldest son was forced
to submit, and to leave the home he had
always considered his own Withous a shil-
l,Bg. He went into town and embarked
IA trade apparently without much success
for his grandson is at the present time a
shoemaker in back street, and in very
small way of business. The tradition OF
the lost estate has, however, always been
presery.sss, and some time since this de
scendanf of the elder son recommended
the search for proof of the marriage IN
question. After much trouble he succeed
cd in getting at the copies of the registers,
which are preserved in the Chancery at
Chester, and there il the index, he dis
covered, somewhat earlier than was ex
pected, the names ofthe original possessor
of the estate and his first wife. There was
however, no such entry in the body of the
book. At last, however, on going through
it for the last time, it was discovered thst
two leaves had been fastened together
and ca their being separated copy OF
the marriage from the books OF u Man
chester church was duly found. On re-
ferring back to the church itself, the book
was produced but the entry was not tAcEe.
Further examination showed, however,
Shat this book had also been tempered
with, but in different wsy--a leaf had
been cut out with scissors and the marks
were even then distinctly visible. On
these facts the action will be brought, and
when it is remembered that the present
family have been in possession for nearly
= century, and that they are highly re-
spected, and their members married
amongst the wealthest people in the
county, it may readily be imagined that
the matter is creating good deal Of in
terent The value of the property at stake
is between one and two hundred thousand
pounds-London Correspondent Of the

The Graatsst Of Earthquakes.

It will sbs remembered that the recent
earthquakes in South America, began on
the 18th of August, and on that day o
great ocean wave broke on the shores Of
Peru.-On ths 18th Of August that same
wave reached Lower California on one
side of the Pacific Ocean and Japan on
the other On the 18th, 18th and 10th of
August, as the telegraph informs US the
same disturbance of the ocean was observ-
ed at the Sandwich Islands, the see rising
and falling, for those three days, three or
four feet every ten minutes. Taking all
these facts together, it would seem that
the point of the greatest intensity in the
connection of the earths crust was some
where in the Pacific ocean, midway be-
tween South America and the Sandwich
Islands; since the tidal wave reached
those island sooner than it did in Califor-
mia, and lasted longer, and was observed
in California no sooner than is was in
Japan. That the CONFUSION was az near
the Sandwich Islands as it was to South
America, if not nearer, ia confirmed BY
the Hawaii, and the continuance Of earth
aus kes in its Aeiahborhood. We are told
that tbs sinking of the Hawaii IN some
places from three to four feet, and in 9th
ers six to seven feet, while in Hilo the
greatest subsistence noticed was eight
inches. In Hilo, Para, and Kanfrol one
to five earthquakes occurred daily. When
we get full accounts from all parts of the
world of this terrible earthquake, it will
be found, Us we at first predicted, to have
been one of wider extent than any which
has occurred in modern times.-Erchauge.

! Boston will Case -Uanstural Severn
ty Of a father. II
Boston Letter to Cincinnati TIL


An Interesting vii ,ase has found its
way into the supreme Court, and some
very interesting developments for the
gossips have been made. The will OF
one of cur oldest citizens Mr. T. h
Richardson, who died recently, is contss-
ted by one of his daughters, to whome
he left only $40 cut of $4,000 She
was child by his first Wife, and when
The latter died his grief was 30 poignant
that he said he had no desire to live,
and that his dughter was the only com
lsrs and solace he had. He recovered
from the shock sufficiently to enable him
to take another life partner, by whom
he had three or four daughters. After
the second marriage he changed his de-
meanor toward the first child, and when
she was six or eight years old, according
to her narrative, she was obliged to per-
form good share ofthe household druid
gerry, and as shegrew older her work was
multiplied. At fifteen years Of age she
built all the fires in the stoves and furn-
aces, did all the washing fer six or eight
persons cooking sweeping, etc, for all of
which she was poorly fed and badly
clothed. Meanwhile, as her half sisters
grew up they lived on fatted calves, went
out to play, or set in the parlor with
their mamma, who also kept up master
ly inactivity in regard to household af-
fairs at the expense of the daugter.
. This state of affairs lasted until the
stepdaughter was twenty-five years of
age when her parents refused to let her
do anything in the house, and did every
thing they could to make her leave.
Her father would not allow her to be
present at family prayers, which were
offered twice day, he being deacon in
First Babtist Church. She says that on
one accession she bad to attend church in
an old and shabby suit of clothes, while
her sisters sat beside her in bran new
rigs appropriate to the season. On their
return home her father told her that. as
she entered the pew that day (she arrived
iate) hethought ofthe passage "and Satan
came also"
She also says that both he and her step
mother used frequsatly to amuse them
selves by striking her in the face, and she
often experienced such lack Of funds
not withdrawing her fathers wealth. thai
3he was obliged to take loans from friends
never expecting to refund the Same She
was obliged to be in before 10 o'clock sv-
cry night, ana On n occasion was she al
lowed night key If she wished to attend
o wedding or a party. She at last mar
ried one of her fathers partners, man as
old as he was, aud, by getting comfort
able home, seemed to incense the whole
crowd against her worse than ever. She
claims that her stepmother used an undue
influence over her father, which led him
to bequssth his money to her sisters ss he
did. He moved in high circles, and his
former friends crowd the court room. A
decision in favor of his daughter is pro-

What a Woman Can De.

The Milwaukee Wiiconsin publishes
the following interesting account of an
enserprising lady just married in that
city:
"A young lady at the East, dependent
upon her own resources, was adopted into
the family ola gentleman in this city.
The gentleman was trsnsacting business
Of millions of dollars annually, and en-
ployed numerous clerks and account
ants-The Young lady alluded to was
taken into the counting room and soon
rose to the position Of chief book keeper
and cashier Of the house. She filed the
position and performed the duties with
singular idelity and satisfaction for sew
eraI years All the large transactions of
the house passed through her hands; the
daily cash transactions amounting from
100000 to $4,000.
We had the satisfaction Of examining
this set Of books, and can truly say that
ne accountant in Milwaukee can show a
better record of neatness and accuracy.
Several bankers have examined the work
of this young lady, and pronounced it
well nigh faultless The young lady has
balanced her books, closed ap herscoounts
and left her position to take charge of
the personal and household affairs of q
young business man in neighboring
city.
