There is no sophistry about il, but
there is much to interest the
thoughtful mind, more especially OF

The Republican party has crea-
ted a gigantic aristccracy based on
yOBY labor, on bonds given and
made exempt from taxation. These
bonds are simply your notes. They

como, you, young man,:;aIl the while
growing older, must labor to redeem
these notes, which are claims bind
ing you to toil-mortgages on your
labor
When the war began these notes
did not exist. Under the laws Of
America they cannot legally exist
as created, for they bring wealth to
those who hold them and are not
taxed. The Republicans pegislated
the power to create such notes and
called them bonds; sold them for
half their face declared them ex-
empt from taxation ; declared that
you, young men, and laboring men
of America, must pay interest on
those notes in gold, and in time pay
the principal.
If you have little farm, or team
or trade, or piece of property worth
one thousand dollars, on it you
must,,pay taxes. This is right. If
rich man has y million of dollars
invested in bonds, in your notes,
which he says you must pay, he
pays no taxes: lie locks his bonds
in his safe, rides at his case, and
you pay the taxes; pay him interest
in gold pay the principal; labor
hard and live poor, while he does
nothing and grows richer, and in
time dies and leaves his children the
very dollars you have earned, and
which should have benefited and
made your children the equal OF his
children.
Your labor, under republican
laws, cnriches the aristocrat who

THE KNABE PIANO.

Next TO books there Is no inanmate thing in
the house that can produce 20 much profitable
pleasure as Piano. A library and Piano are
symbols Of high civilization. These two spread
the nobler banquet, where the soul Is fed, without
fear Of guttony or dissipation. As books bring
in 10 our daily circle as familiar companions the
noblest spirits that ever wrought upon earth,
and permit lis 10 rear our children under the
influence OF the noblost natures, so the Piano,
with simple incantationS bring us up from their
sleep, The brotherhood Of song, and persuadeS
them to dwell among us.
OF the enormous variety OF Pianos manuhc-
tured. u must be admitted none have contributed
so much to the happiness ofour homes, rs those
celebrated instruments, used by the thousands
IN every quarter Of no globe, and manufactured
by the world renowned house Of Messrs. wM.
KSABE & Co., Baltimore. Those Pianos have
been before tho public for moro than 10 years,
with sieady increase Of popularity, until to-day
they are pronounced by tho greatest artists, nm.
eturos, and tho universal Judgment Of the public
at large to bo iho best and mos, reliable Piano
made IN the world.

The Sbiverins Season.

1t Is impossible to suppose that any human
being can consider an attack of Fever and
Ague, light visitation. And yet thousands
act as if such calamity was Of no consequence;
while thousands who are actually suffering
from the distressing complaint neglect to adopt
the certain means Of cure. 1t ought to be

other epidemic produced by malaria, that HOS.

tues than any other tonic at present known,
will break up the paroxsyms or intermittent or
rsmittsnt fever in from fsrty eight hours to ten
days. Such is the universal testimony from
districts where periodical fevers have been com
batted with this powerful vegetable Chologogue.

The Latess Literary scaud.I,

We hope the practice of telling dis.
creditable stories of the disastrous dead
without proofs to support them is not
going to be fashionable. The newest
scandal, says the New York Tribune, is
Q tale of Hermann Grimm's, which re-
presents no less man than Goethe as
robbing a poor actress who loved him
not indeed of money, but of fame. This
lady is believed by Herr Grimm to be
the auther of certain poems which
Goethe claimed and published as his
own. He bluntly charges the great
German poet with the meanest kind of
literary larceny, and this upon no evil
dencs Whatever except the bare asser.
ton Of the lady in question, who at
the time she made the accusation was
over seventy years of age, and, as Herr
Grimm acknowledges, in failing memo
~. She died about ten years ago, and
her correspondence with Goethe is not
to be published until after ten years
more. We do mot suppose it will furnish
confirmation of this extraordinary
story; and, at any rate, until some kind
of confirmation is given, the literary
world will probably dismiss the tale as
the fiction CT a vain and fading mind.

Prince-Princes in Russia are plenty
Is windmills in Holland-but he
looks like a German, though his
face is less square than the average
type of the Tsutonic race. He is
not more than thirty, but he seems
five and forty. A more thoroughly biase
being never saw. He is playing for
sensation; but drinking squafortis
would hardly give him one. He does
not take up his stakes when they win,
but lets them lie until the turn of for.
tune sweeps them all away. He broke
the bank one night last summer, when
he was too tipsy to see, and this season
he has been preparing to repeat the ex-
pertinent by keeping drunk ever
since he came here. He is very
wealthy, having inherited large for
tune from his mother, and having mar
ried another, owned by very gentle
and loyeable woman, who, for all her
virtues, was rewarded with a profligate
husband. Why is it that the best and
sweetest women are always welded to
brutes and scoundrels' This Prince is
dissipated in every way. He drinks
vodka, tho liquid fire of his own
country, because cognac is not strong
enough for him; has all sorts of
vulgar liasons, shows his devoted
wife's letters to his coarsest mis-
tressss, and picks his teeth at the
table. And yet he is q veritable Prince
by blood, and veritable black guard
by instinct. At the gait he is at present
gsing he will either die of delirium
tremens in a few months, or cut his
throat from discriminating self-disgust
which, if not the most moral, will be
the most commendable act of his life
