A Bachelors Experience.
a bachelor friend of ours. wh,

never seen far from home, recently
had occasion to journey down iuto the
Pine Tree State. He had heard about
tho manner in which certain fast girls
of the period como it over certain
innocent and uususpecting specimens
of the genus homo, and it was not
without great perturbation Of mind,
that he seated himself comfortably in
an unoccupicd seat, IN the most re
mote corner Of tho car that was to
| convey him to his destination, and pre-
pared to defend himself against all tho
wilcs and temptations which might be
brought TO bear by any Of tho before
mentioned female critters
All went we'll, however, and under
the congonial and fathcrly care of
Conductor Philbrick s. recovered
his equanimity, and even SO far forgot
himself as to become suddenly inter
csted in the movement of yory prct-
ty innocent looking member of tho
softer sex, who, with young future
president olinging to her gloved hand
had entered tho car at n way sta.
tion, and taken an unoccupied scat
near his own.
But this tranquility was not to last!
Tho train came to halt, and largo
number of travellers entered. Among
them was q lady, who, turning for 4
moment, caught sight of our bachc-
lor's protege-for the time bcing-and
with outstrotchcd arms rushed toward
her.
Why, Emily is it your What a

Emily returned the greeting of her
new found friend ina like enthusiastic
manner, which, as s. solcmnly de-
clares "fairly made his toes tinglc,n
and the conversation took another

THE DECLINE IN GoLD.-The Nor
folk Day Booh attributes the decline
in gold to cotton. 1t says cotton is
gold or its -1uivalent, and the i'm .
mcnse crop Of this season has added
so much gold to the currency of the
country that there is really surplus
Of gold, and like any other commodi-
ty, whom tho supply exceeds the de-.
mand it's prico naturally falls and
cheapcns. The nation is really in
dcbted to the South for this relief
from financial embarrassment, and
not to the management of any party /;
but tho Republicans may justly claim
certain degree Of credit in having
overcome the South and made her
subject to their rule, whereby hor
product became subject to their con-
troll to form tho means whcrewith tho
national resources could be xustai ined.
This is tho point wherein tho sagacity
Of the Republican party has bcon dis.
played on the gold or currency ques.
tion. Had the South have had prac.
tical statesmen in its late struggle the
result would have been differont.--
Unfortunately for her people and her
cause, she had too many speculators
and too few brave spirits who had to
bear tho brunt of the battle. .u

THE INcoME TAX Law RErEALED.
There is a serious misapprchonsion in
the public mind in relation to the
ineomeYtax.g Petitions arc being sent
TO Washington for the repcal of the
law. It should be distinctly under
stood that the Income Tax law was
repealed BY Limitation on the 3lst
day Of December, 1862 The tax
now being assessed is for the year
1865. After tits paid no other in
come tax can be collected CIR assessed
without the enactment Of an entirely
new law, which is not likely to bo
brought about. Tho repeal Of tho
old law is final and unconditional. it
takes effect as soon as the tax for 1860
is paid. A bill passed the House
under the'prcyious question gag rule
q few days1ago, providing for the as
sessmont and colleo,ion>ofttan income
tax forpne. year, only 4(l870), but it
met with, disastrous defeat 10 the
Senate. II rs not ht All likely that
Congress will put such a :,cedless bur-
depAupon theapeopld again in face of
the entiye, press of the country. Tho
occasion, that called for it has. passed
away forever. Let us have no. more

A New Species Of Corn.

The Times of New Iberia, Louisiana,
contains the following, which may be
found of general interest:
Capt. David Ker last week left at our
office two ears of corn, as samples of what
he has experimental several years to
bring about He commenced by mixing
and planting in each hill grains of the
Mexican yellow flint and the large west
ern gourd seed corn, and by using great
care on succeeding years, to plant such
seed as had become thoroughly mixed.
he has at length produced corn of the
largest size and sufficient hardness to
prevent depredations by the birds. the
weavil and other insects, Thus the
yield is not only greatly increased, but
the quality is much superior to any corn
usually found In this country, because of
uHnaually uutritive Qualities.
