March, the public debt has been paid at
the rate of more than two hundred and

desire respectfully to call the atten-
tion of Congress to the inadequate sala-
ries Of a number Of the most important
officers Of the government. In this mes
sage I will not cnumerate them, but viii
specify only the justices Of the supreme
court, No change has been made in
their salaries for IS years, aud within
that time the labors of the court have
largely increased, and the expenses of
living have at lsast doubled during the
same time. Congress has twice found it
necessary to increase largely the COM
pensaton of its own members, and the
duty which it owes to another department.
of the government deserves, and will I'M
doubtedly receive, its due consideration.
There are many subjects not alluded
to in this message, which might with
propriety be introduced, but | abstain,
believing that your patriotism and states
manship will suggest the topics of legis-
lation most conductive to the interests of
the whole people. On my part, I prom
Use rigid adherence to the laws and
their strict enforcement.

Staring,


Stare, do stare. He is a

of course not. He likes to be
made to feel the difference be,

the perfect ones around him
therefore make him feel
the difference by staring.
Stare! That is the new minis
ter. Observe the color of his
eyes and hair, and the cut of
his coat. The objects around
are strange, and his heart is
heavy at being separated from
those to whom he has minis
tered in the past; but don't
speak a kind word or shake
hands-it is so much pleasant.

words and stares, when and
wherever she appears. Note
her dress and appearance. Her
bonnet is out of style-and her
shawl is worn and faded; but
that is only a desire to Be &C.

Observe the weeds and count
the founces on her dress; that

your dear five hundred friends
it's all nonsense about the wild

as the Rough Oak, on ac-
count of the rough appearance
of the trunk; again it is called
by some persons the Barrens
White Oak because it grows
abundantly on barren lands,
and it is also known by some
as the Pigeon Oak because the
pigeons eagerly devour the
acorns. The leaves of this tree
are of a tawny color, pubescent
beneath, obovate, oblong, ir.
regularly lobed, the upper
lobes larger and notched. The
acorns are rather small and
roundish, being quite bitter to
the taste. This member of the
oak family is very generally
difused over the State of Ohio,
being found on the poorer hills
of the Southern part Of the
State and also ON the level
lands of Ross, Pickaway, Fay
cite and Madison counties. l
know of no oak more generally
distributed over our State than
the Post Oak. The timber is
most excellent for mechanical
purposes as we'll as for fuel
1t is, l believe, scarcely ever
employed as an ornamental
tree, but why should it not be-?
Though there is a stiffness con.
nected with this tree, yet the
leaves are beautiful at all sea-
sons of the year, the branches
as they shoot out clothed with
a grayish color from the sturdy
trunk are very picturesque
and pleasing to the eye of those
who delight to revel amidst the
great variety Of nature.
YELLOW oAK.-(Quercus Cdstanea.)
This beautiful, and one of the
most interesting oaks may be
found pretty generally scat,
tered through the woods of the
entire State, as well as over
the United States. Its leaves
are lanceolate and regularly
toothed, beautiful green above
and whitish beneath. The
acorns are small, black and
very sweet and are often eaten.
1t is avery stately, rapid grow
ing tree, rising often to the
height of 70 or so feet; its
smooth branches are upright
in their growth and are more
inclined as it were to cluster
around the central trunk than
any other species of oak. This
exceedingly fine tree is found
growing in fertile lands, along
the flowing rivers and streams
of our State, it may be seen in
all its ample majesty and rich
ness, rising up boldly, stretch.
ing far out its waving branches,
clothed in their native and
glossy verdure. The timber of
this species is ofthe finest quail
ity; after having been exposed
for some days to the drying sun
and winds, it assumes a yellow.
ish appearance, hence the
name of Yellow Oak. AS an
ornamental tree it will most
certainly stand very high; the
beauty of its long lanceolate
leaves, and their peculiar mode
of growth will always recos
mend it to those who may de-
sire to procure trees to beau
tify their pleasure grounds,
and as it mingles with other
trees it will ado not only
variety, but elegance.

The following, from Pack
ards Monthly, for May, defines
Horace Greeley's position on
women's dress:
"There are thousands no wi
ser, perhaps, in general than
other people, who know all
about the sphere and capaci-
ties of Woman, and can tell to
a dot all that she needs to
know, and what she ought to
study and do, as we'll as what
she should leave undone. /
confess my own total incapac-
ity to direct her in these im>
portant particulars. Nay, so
dense is my ignorance, or so
singular my modesty that l
realize nay incompetency to di-
rect her in the sphere Of cos
tune or personal adornment,
and that | can only counsel her
to dress according to'her own
ideas of convenience and sense
of propriety. No part of my
education having been more
deplorably neglected than that
which pertains to millinery
and the mysteries of the toilet,
/ am constrained to keep 81.

heated discussions, and my si>
lence has very naturally been
construed into paftiallty for the
less vociferous and denuncia.
tory side; when, in fact [ have
no feeling, no choice in the
premises, beyond the wish
that women, like men, should
dress as they see fit, so long as
the garb sufficiently distin-
gulshes one sex from the other.
Beyond that it is not my busi-
ness to regulate the appareling
of my neighbors' wives and
children; and / do not see that
it is other peoples any more
than it is mine. The subject is
one ofserious, often painful, in.

bills, and to them l leave it"

THERE has been an unusual
amount of absenteeism in the
State Legislature this session,
under the Constitution it re.
quires a majority of all the
members to pass a law. The
Democrats have small MAORI,

gret to say, they have hardly
been available ON account of
so many OF them absenting

the arts brought to the great.
est state of perfection during
the rebellion. General Mccall

hours; Potomac Creek bridge,

WHOLE NO. 973
The Constitutional Amend
ment at COlumbus.

lne postponement Of a vote
on the adoption or rejection of
the Fifteenth Amendment
does not spring from any doubt
in the minds Of our legislators
how it would result. The Dem
ocrats have only to count
noses, and in a strict party vote
they know that rejection is
certain, The Republicans
know this as well. No Demo.
crat in the Ohio Legislature
can be reasonably suspected
Of doing so Independent a thing
as to vote for the ratification Of
the amendment. On the alb
Stract doctrine of no taxation
without representation he can
grow eloquent and windy. He
is at home when it comes to
dealing with such a proposition
abstractly, but when practic.
al turn is given to it, and il is
proposed to give the ballot to
whoever is intelligent and
thrifty in the State, your Dem
ccrat is not there. A preiu-
dice overcomes his sense of JUS
tice and converts the expound-
er of abstract political and
civil equality into the advocate
Of a discrimination that he can
not defend, and castles that
his principles, logically fol-
lowed, abolish.
The postponement Of the
vote is not due to any uncer-
tainty about the result. These
devoted partisans want time to
consider whether they can not
make more political capital out
of the amendment by making
it an element of the political
canvass than by voting it down
now. They have SO long
traded on the niger that any
loss OF capital, by any indis-
Greet action al this time, would
be regretted the remainder of
their lives. The justice of the
principle embodied in the
amendment is not subject mat
ter of discussion to them.
They care nothing for that. If
they had their way, the auc~
ton blocks would be set up in
every city of the South, and
the niger bought and sold
as other chattel property. But
that traffic having been abol-
ished, they propose to contin.
ue the political trading in him,
and the only hitch at Colum.
bus now is, whether they can
make more by pulling him in
or keeping him out of the fall
canvass, 1t is a matter that de-
mands their profoundest com
Sideration. The more rights he
obtains as a citizen, the less
important he becomes in a po-
htical sense; and were he once
made a voter on the same
terms as white men, the whole
stock In trade would be gone.
Nobody would care for Cuffee,
except to get his vote, and the
"nigger" would disappear from
politics. Our Democratic leg
islators must hasten slowly and
advisedly before determining
10 vote down the amendment
now, or leave it an undecided
question. Cincinnati Oommaeg-
cidI.
