Mr.. EDITOR 1t is the general opinion
that the editor of city newspaper is
well posted in all matters that coreern
its patrons-and as it is R,psoored, that by
a late decision of the Supreme Court, our
city debt of over half milhou is wiped
out can you inform us whether this is
fact or mere gossip? Long years siaee
the small property owners La Kenoslfa
made mortgage lien on my homestead
against my remonstance, of over $1,000,
robbed me to that extent, if their action
was valid, and ruined the progress and
progress and property of the town, wheth-
er valid or not. AaE
Does our Supreme Court say that nay
fellow citizens have no power to tax me
and themselves, to raise fund, to give to
a railroad, a drinking salooon, or erist-
mill, or other business of public 6engft,
that don't prosper without some such aid?
It is also rumored that a Judgment has
lately been obtained against the city for a
patriotic debt, in procuring patriotic SCI
diers volunteers? tor the war.
Could not the city have employed some
clever patriotic 90 fellow to defend
against such rebeZzious claim? Is there
not something in K Denmark)
that is aoorse than rotten? Does partizan-

heaven?" How largesa tax is to be lev

g WHAT'S IN THE PAPERS?''


Not much of anything this week. It
is apparently the dull season for news
From Europe there is no news of
much moment. What there is Of import
comes from France. The revolution that
was on the eve of breaking out in that
country has been postponed. ''The storm
that was to totter down the throne of Ma
poleon" has blown over. The Emperor
still remains master OF the situation, and
has apparently so much confidence in his
ability to maintain his seat that he has
ventured upon some pretty bold acts. He
has refused any Cancellation whatever to
the Liberals, and following close upon
this 4he has caused the arrest Of Roche
fort, editor of La Laaaterne, the most pop
ular man in France and the foremost
among the leading Liberals Rochefort
has been fined to nearly the extent of his
fortune, sentenced to imprisonment for
three years, and deprived of all the rights
of citizenship. He was recently re-
turned by his party to the House Of Dep
uties, and his arrest by Napoleon is al
most as bold an act as was the coup detat.
The English papers say this is suicidal
policy on the part of the Emperor, that he
will never be able to stem the tide of rev.
olution it will raise. There don't seem to
be much reason for this belief So long
as the French army remains faithful to
him he can do what he likes in France
He can afford to defy any attempts to I'm,
seat him. He can even defy French elo.

[The following article was crowded out
of the Educational Column
Geographical Speculations.

For some weeks past our peregrinations
have afforded us considerable opportunity
for speculation upon the subject of geogra-
ply. We learned years ago that "the
surface Of the earth is composed of land
and water and. that "oqae-fourth
was land and three-fourths water" We
never appreciated tie perfect truth Of these
proposiionssuntil recently. Our know
ledge of them was a. mere book knowledge
which we retained by, and through the
strength of our memory. Long, residence
in our native town and domestic habits,
which kept us FROM wandering, led us,
when We theorizeGat all, to suppose that
on any given part of the ''earth's surface"
we should find land or water, and that
the land and the waters were d50Sded.
Our observations for the last three or
our weeks convince us that we were
wronS and that the theory which our
residence in Somers had led us to adopt
was not the true one. Pleasant Prairie,
BRISTOL Salem, Brighton ana Paris have
been visited and nowhere did we find the
lines of demaykation between the fluid
and solid defnitely drawn. We have seen
that most useful of domestic ANIMALS, the
herse, compelled to obtain a sustenance
by swimming for it, Ladeed the distri-
button Of the fluid wasso general that we
were necessltated, several times day per
at times, to perform on our wagon the,
same operation that the books say must
beperformed upon the divisor in division
of fractions, that our, feet might be rid of
its disagreeable. presence. The closest
possible hitching of our, horse to the
school-house door, never saved our black
ing nor enabled Us, to reach the school
room, without an opportunity for
estimating the fertility of the soil by in
voluntarily measuring its depth.
It may be easily inferred that our pres
ent state of mind is not entirely free
from doubt, SO hard is it to give up long
cherished notions. We will leave the
question open, and ask for information
from those who may have anything to
offer on the subject, merely suggesting, in
reference to our travels, that through the
hospitality and hospitality" of our
friends we kept our temper and event
our way rejoicing.
