TALL OATs.-Mr. Ed. Delashmutt brought
to this office specimen of oats and straw now
growing in his fields that is remarkable for
length. The straw, including the head, is
seven feet and six inches, and the head is four
teen inches long. This, we think, is hard to
beat with grain growing on the upland, but we
hope that some of our farmers having fields in
the rich river bottoms will bring in speci-
men to beat that of Douglas county farmers

hounds, the thing was trailed to it's burrow.
After digging two or three hours, Mr.. D. found
mutt four half grown minks. So it was mink
that killed the chickens and not weasel. Mr.,
Delashmutt thinks that it will pay for every
farmer to keep blood hound.

The MEETING at the Mayors Office to-day
in behalf of the sufferers by the disaster at
Richmond, Virginia, a few days ago, will, it
is to be hoped, set the necessities of the
occasion SO forcibly before the public that a
generous and immediate response will be
made. Alarge number of persons are greatly
in need of assistance at once, and as the citi-
zens of Philadelphia have never been back
ward in giving literally of their means at the
demand of charity, we ask them to open their
hearts and their purses at the same time, and
by prompt tender of practical sympathy to
show the people of Richmond that no feel
ings but those of real kindness exist towards
them in this locality. This is case that
speaks for itself, and it is only necessary for
us to say that prompt and liberal aid is greatly
needed to secure such a contribution for the
sufferers as will be creditable to great and
wealthy city like this.

The late massacre by the brigands in the
good result at least. 1t has stirred up the
authorities to an extent never heard of be-
fore in the annals of brigandage, and there
seems to be fair probability that the scoun-
drels who perpetrated this particular outrage
will receive the penalty of their misdeeds.
A large number of the band have been killed
already, and it is likely that the rest will
either be captured or slaughtered while at
tempting to escape. Whether this affair will
lead to the final determination of the brigands
in Greece is a question, for the Government
of that country is now acting under such a
pressure of popular indignation in all parts
of the civilized world as cannot always be
brought to bear; and judging the future by
the past, it is to be feared that after the
present excitement dies out the outlaws
will be permitted to carry on their operations
in the old way without much fear of serious
interruption. The destruction of this particu-
lar. band, however, can scarcely have any
other effect than to check brigandage, for the
present at least; and if the Greek Govern
ment is worth anything at all, it will main
tain its advantage. If it has not the power
to do its obvious duty, the great powers that
protect il should interfere, and rid the coun-
try of one of its worst nuisances, by organiz-
ing a grand hunt for the rascals who are
capable Of such atrocities AS were perpetrated
by the Marathon brigands. Neither in Italy

'THE COST OF NAPOLEON. The April number OF
Frdser's Magazine contains curious article entitled
the "Cost of Napoleon" which is an attempt to
estimate what the Emperor OF the French has done
for France and Europe, and what he has cost them
during the twenty years Of his reign. The result
arrived at by the author is startling but the figures
seem to be based upon the best authorities and
are given merely as the nearest attainabe approxi
nation to the truth. He credits Louis Napoleon
with having been the main agent In liberatng
Europe from the incubus of Russian influence by
the Crmean war; aud OF freeing Italy from the Aus
trian yoke by the OF 1857 with having increased
the wealth of France enormously its commerce
fourfold, its railway communication sevenfold;
with having pretty steadily exerted hiAsef to form
and preserve cordial alliance with England; with
having naugurated wiser and sounder commercial
policy; and with having, by means OF his "open
loan" system, introduced a new investment for the
savings of the peasantry and thus at once improved
their income and reduced the eXorbtant price OF
land. On the other hand, he debts the Emperor
with enormous financial extravaganza on his own
part, and with being the cause of similar vice in
nearly every State in Europe; with having increased
the annual expenditure OF France by ten millions
sterling year; with having more than doubled the
national debt; with having largely increased his
own standing army, and compelled the surrounding
nations to do the same to an extent that cannot
calculated with any accuracy; with having involved
Europe in no less than three wars, and having thus
in one wey or another cost the world since his ac-
cession one million of lives and five hundred mil
lions OF money besides having largely contributed
to lower the OF political and probably OF social
morality also, and having stimulated TO excess that
passion for mere material luxury and wel-being
which is one of the worst and most dangerous ma
tional features Of the day.

nor Greece has any decided effort ever been
made to put a stop to the performances of
these gentlemen, and the apathetic Govern
ments of those countries should be taught
their duty by those who have the ability to
give the lesson. If the great powers whose
citizens are almost always the sufferers would
unite for the attainment of the object, they
might easily put a stop to brigandage both in
Italy and Greece; and there is no good reason
why they should not do so.

BEFORE Congress adjourns an amnesty law
ought certainly to be passed, and the work of
reconstruction completed by an act of grace
on the part of the Government that will
place all the people of the South in their
normal relations to the nation. The time for
such an act as this has arrived, and the re-
storation of the rights of citizenship to the
late Rebels will be approved by vast ma
jority of the loyal people of the country.
The Amnesty bill introduced in the Senate on
Thursday by Senator Robertson excludes from
its provisions all members of Congress who
withdrew from their seats and aided the Re-
bellion; all officers of the army and navy who
aided the Rebellion; and all members of the
conventions which adopted the pretended
ordinances of secession. If Congress does
not feel disposed to grant universal am
nesty, it ought at least to pass this bill, which
certainly leaves sufficient number of per-
sons out in the cold. The policy however,
of furnishing anybody at this late day for
participating in the Rebellion is at least
doubtful, and it would be much more salts
factory to settle the matter definitely and for
ever by not making any exceptions. The
time has passed when the exclusion of the
Rebels from the rights of citizenship could
do any good, and the country is now prepared
for the adoption of liberal and generous
policy. .f

CERTAIN members of Congress seem deter
mined to continue the income tax at all
hazards, in spite of the opposition to it in
every part of the country; and the conference
committee of the Senate and House is now
wrangling over the question, without appa-
rently being able to come to any satisfactory
conclusion. In the meantime the people of
the country are waiting impatiently for
definite settlement, and extensive business
interests are suffering through the negligence
of Congress to carry out the obvious wishes
of the country with regard to this matter. If
it were at all essential that the tax on in
comes should be longer levied, the people
would submit patiently, but as the revenues
from other sources are amply sufficient for
every need of the Government, no one is
disposed any longer to pay peculiarly
onerous and inquisitorial tax that was levied
as war measure and that should be discon-
tinued as soon as the peculiar circumstances
that necessitated it have ceased, The men,
bers of Congress ought to understand by this
time that the feeling on this subject is very
great, and that there is decided disposition
on the part of the victims of the tax to hold
their representatives personally responsible.
