THE VALLEY OF THE MISSISSIPPI
The Mississippi is the King of Rivers
Taking rise almost OH the northern linn
it of the North temperate zone, it pur-
saes its majestic course nearly due south
to the verge of the tropic, with its tribu-
taries washing the Alleghanies on the
one hand and the Rocky Mountains on
the other, throughout the entire length
of those great mountain chains. The
Amazon, or La Plata, may possibly
bear to the sea an equal volume of wa
ter; the Nile flows through more uni
formly genial climates, and ripples over
grander and more ancient relics of the
infancy of mankind; the Ganges, or the
Hoang ho, may be intimately blended
with the joys and griefs, the fears and
hopes, of more millions of human
beings; while the Euphrates, the Dan
ube, or the Rhine, is far richer in his
toric associations and bloody, yet gIori-
Gus memories: but the Mississippi still

HARD TIMES'-A REMEDY.

Under the above caption the Beaver
Dam Argps argues that the substitution
of the system Of direct taxation, in place
Of the present manner of collecting the
revenue. would s'cure the hard times. :"
There is no doubt that our present sys-
TEN admits Of many abuses, but we do
not see that the other plan would be less
Objectionable in this r, spect. The num-
Der Of agents, engaged in collecting a
direct tax would certainly not be less
in number than the revenue agents now
employed, nor would the inducements
toperjury and fraud be less frequent
As for Free Trade, which the Argus also
desires, we regard it as the greatest
enemy which the laborins classes OF
the country could have to contend
with 1tmigbt lessen their expenses
in one item, but it would degrade and
cheaper their labor by putting 1t on
level with, and in competition against,
all the cheap labor of the whole world.
Nearly every country is strong in some
particular thing, either in the way OF
manufactures or agricultural, products,
and upon which it can defy competition !;
the result Of free trade policy would
be that we would have to compete with
all the nations of the earth upon their
individual strong points. Of course
they would collectively have greatly
the advantage over US and our indus
trial resources would neces sariiy suffer
The aim of the present system of
collecting revenue is to make accumu
lated wealth pay larger proportion
than difused wealth the Argus would
have all property pay taxes alike-it
would tax the poor mans single COW
at the same rate as the rich mans hun
dred. State exemption laws, not be-
ing uniform all over the country, would
necessarily have to be disregarded and
as a consequence, all property, real and
personal, would be taxed, and the la
boring masses would find themselves
obliged to pay hundreds where now they
do not pay teus. Such change would
be welcomed by the rich but 1T would
add fearfully to the burdens of the
poor. Tie farming community has
been greatly favored under the pres
ent revenue system, and instead eff their
getting off with SIS or $50 in place of
$500 or $500, as the Argus thiaks,
the case would be exactly reversed.
We do not believe there is farmer in
Dodge county who pays tax of $500, to
the general government; but let d.
rect tax be levied and we could find them
in every township who would have to
pay far more. We fail wholly to see
the benefit Of the proposed change or
its power to ''cure our hard times"

Mohawk Indian, who claims to have been a
deni2en of the other world for over a humid
red years, reports that there is a band OF
six low, mischievous spirits, who get at the
brain Of this weak young man, whenever
opportunity offers. Very kind, soothing
treatment, they say, wilt always bring bet
influences in their place, and restore the
young man to quiet. Beyond this, they say
all their exorcism is the sheerest superstit on
and folly. .
The snake alarm was caused by the spirits
holding to the throat of the young man,
md stopping the circulation till he was pur-
pie in the face. They can do it at any time
they say, upon any medium.
The old Indian states further, as a fact of
interest to the scientific world, that the
''bristesH drawn out by DR.. Dummy, are
little, long, hairy worms, that feed upon the
muscles of the young man, and make him
the diseased and paralyzed object that he is.
These worms, the old Indian says, were gen.
Grated by little animalcu les, which exist In
the waters of a certain spring that the boy
used to drink of in Germany. All his phys
ical disorders spring from these causes, and
they viii IN time finish him.

ASSASSINATION OF RICHARDSON g.
Last Thursday, A, D. Richardson,
one of the editors Of the n. Y. Trib-
uae and one of the most brilliant VIZ
tiers OF the day, was shot IN his Office
by a man named Mcfarland. The
ball penetrated the stomach and at
last accounts it is said that Richard
son cannot live. Mcfarland shot
Richardson once before. His enmity
towards the latter is oceasioned by the
fact that Richardson has been en- aged
to McFarIand's divorce / wife. There
is intense indignation felt everywhere
toward the cowardly assassin.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES persons are ex-
posed to these troublesome and some
times painful things. Ordinarily they
are developed as consequence of cold
feet, though there are individuals so
sensitive t. at the appearance of snow
ii the atmosphere is sufficient to bring
on the difficulty.
In cases where the irritation and
swelling have not resulted in liberation
or abrasion, soak the feet in tepid water
about ten minutes, before going to bed
Wipe the foot dry, and Immediately
anoint the part affected with pure oil
of cloves. Cover it with piece of skin,
or the film taken from leaf lard or suet );
draw on cotton stocking for the night !;
and, ordinarily, the soreness and irrita-
ton will have disappeared by the next
morning. If one application is not
fully successful, try it again the night
following, and repeat as often as the
chilblains appear This remedy has
been applied by the wliter during
twenty years, and has never failed to
afford the desired relief.

A SPECIMEN of the wonderful plant
"the flower of the Holy Ghost" has
been successfully raised IN MOI wich, CT.
The flower is creamy white cup, near
ly as large as half an egg, and extreme
ly beautiful, and its wonder as natural
floral growth is the fact that in this
flower is little pure white dove, with
pink bill and eyes, and its head turned
as if looking over its back. It's wings,
feet, bill, &C., are as perfect as those of
the living dove, whose counterpart this
wonderful mimic vegetable bird is.

At.smp. to A..assinats prssidsn. johnson.

Shortly after eight o'clock on the eve
ming of the 10th inst, young woman
named Annie 0riell was discovered in
one of the corridors of the White House,
moving toward the private apart.
ments OF the President When asked
what she wanted, she replied: " / am
sent by God Almighty to kill An
drew johnson" She was taken into
custody, when an old-fsshiontd double
barreled pistol was found in her posses
sion, which, however, was not loaded. 1t
appears that she had entered the White
House 10 the afternoon and concealed
herself. She was evidently laboring
under an ATTACK OF insanity, which is
said to hsVe bsen caused by her appre-
ssns;on that she would lose the entire
savings of herself and sister gained
in the Treasury Department during sevs-
raj years past and invested in little
homestead for her family. This prop
eriy she was notified she would have to
give up because it was purchased under
tax title. He is now in the hands Of
the police, and will be examined to'mor-
row, preparatory to sending her, II need
be, to the insane asylum.
