.ssrsssENr or THE WHARF.

The Trustees of the Cairo City Property
have paid state aud county taxes on their
wharf every year since they established III
and city taxes ON all Of 1t until 1858; ana
since then, ON all but that portion OF It
which lies between Fourteenth and Fourth
street. When Mr.. Wilson became Mayor
in 1855 he failed to have the wharf AS
sessed for city taxes, on the ground that
the city claimed it and until that question
had been decided II would be bad policy
TO collec. taxes. Since that time, for the
same reason, no assessment for city pur-
poses has been made. But now, the SUI
preiae court having decided that the city
has no property in the wharf taxes should
again be collected from tn owner but
care should be taken to make the assess
ment not unreasonable. The Interests Of
the city will be put into Jeopardy II the

AVERAGE EXPENSES.

1t is very seldom that any business
can be counted on as sure to yield a
large and constant income. There are
chances and casualties in trade and bus
mess which cannot be forsecn. He is a
fortunate man, indeed, whatever his
calling, who does not find himself, soon
err or later, going out of fashion. The
newcomer, or moro dashing, ingenious
or willy competitor, viii! sometimes dis
lance an old public favorite; or a sue
cessfnl man may be spoiled by success or
over-confdonce in his reputation. For
these and many other reasons, it should
be the effort of every man to become in
dependent Of his business. We mean that
he should place part, however small, of
his earnings in some description OF in
vestmcnt, which shall be secured from
the chances which affect his regular call
ing. To do this, he should tax not his
business means, but his personal vanity,
and DC content to creep, as the phrase
goes, before he attempts to walk; and
to walk before essayiug to run. There
is many q man who looks back on the
careless expenditure of past years
with regret, but who might now be as
sisted by the interest of his prosperous
acquisition, if he had but funded instead
of spending his money for temporary
qualification. Working-men while in
the prime of their strength and man
hood, and in the receipt of liberal wages,
might secure themselves not only against
the distant day of old age, but also
against much of the Inconvenience of
dali tines, of sickness, or OF forced in
activity from any other cause. Who
ever will make rule, and abide by it
always, to live within his means, is on
the safe road to competence, if not to
wealth.

MARIETTA GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 95 1870
THE sWILL-PATL BREED TAKES THE
PREMIUM.

A writer in Chester County, Pa, the
original home of the Chester White Hog,
sends the following sensible hints to the
Planter and Farmer;
"No animal dcteriorates faster than
swine. The trough IS great element an
the character OF a hog: he is amazingly
like dandy. To keep him in first-rate
trim he soon eats his head off; yet, if
he has to hunt his food, even with the
slightest effort, he soon becomes too en-
terprising to be fine specimen. AS
soon as pig becomes enterprising, he
ceases to be "a Chester County White
Dame Nature soon fits him to this aetc
order of things his nose lengthens, the
disposition to use it also increases, his
legs grow longer, his sides flatten, his
hams lose their plumness, and in one or
two generations he is match in a race
for any ordinary dog. At least this is
our experience.
'Tf you want to keep up the breed of
good hogs, keep no more than you can
keep so lazy they will not grunt."

PEOPLE are fond of being critics, and
finding fault, even when they do not un-
derstand what they criticise. Such was
the case with Cardinal Soderini who,
having had a statue executed by Michael
Angelo, cane to inspect it. The work
was so beautiful and so perfect that he
was almost in despair of finding fault
in it, until at last he muttered something
about the nose-he thought it might be
a little more Grccian. Angelo differed,
but said he would make the alteration.
Taking his chiscl, concealing some
in his hand, he feigned to
retouch the feature, and let little dust
fall. The cardinal was delighted with
his.own critical sagacity, and said, "Ah,
Angelo, you have now given it an inirn-
liable grace !"

TRUTH.

The St. Louis Republican speaking
of Georgia radicalism says-"the mask
which hides the naked deformity of this
Georgia business is himsy, but there are
eyes SO blinded by. prejudice that they
cannot or will not see through it. Let
the mask be torn away, and the miser-
able sham, the shameless tyranny which
lies beneath, be fully exposed to view
Fling aside the thin veil Of legislative
mockery which TERRY and BULLOCK
are scking to weave about the machine
ry of despotism, and let the country and
the world study the infamy which, in
the nineteenth century, and in the name
of liberty, a nation calling itself re-
public is perpetrating."

REMARKABLE CASE OF HoNEsrY.-In

REMARKABLE CASE OF HoNEsTY.-In
the year 1857, a citizen of Brooks coun-
ty purchased negro, and gave his note
81 600 as the consideration. Although
the negro proved unsound, tho purchas-
er, at various times anterior to and since
the war, made payments on his note, and
on last Wednesday, visited Quitmar, paid
over three hundred dollars to the holder
of his obligation, and carried it off in tri-
umgh. The total amount paid was one
thousand six hundred dollars and when
we take into consideration the facts that
the negro proved unsound, that he was
enancipatcd by the government, and all
such debts declared null and void we are
of the opinion that it can be referred to
as an extraordinary act of honesty in
these days of general decentralization and
rcpudiation.-Q Mtnsan Banner.

by the way is to make himself and others

Tim Green, Esq, is no fool Not long
since a grain merchant agreed with
him to purchase what oats he had to sell,
provided Green would allow the pur-
chaser to tramp the grain in the meas
down solidly after it was filled. This
was agreed to. The buyer paid for six
ty bushels, and next day went after
them. The farmer filled the half BUSH
el, and the merchant got in and tramped
them down; whereupon the farmer pour
ed the oats so compressed into the bag.
The merchant protested, and demanded
that the measure should be filled up af-
ter tramping. The farmer informed him
that there was no agreement of that
sort, but that he might tramp down tho
oats to his hearts content after they
were measured. Green had him there.

sAMBo TO BE CHEATED AFTER ALL.

1t seems that after all, Sambo is to be
cheated in his aspirations for representa-
ton in the United States Senate. Rev
els, the coIorcd Senator from the State
Of Mississippi, turns out to be neither a
black, quadroon, null alto nor mig
ger He has more Indian blood in his
veins than African. Hence he can be
hailed as one of the purcst native Amer
leans now in the Senate and the coequal
of any "big Indian" that even the old
Tammany Wigwam ever Graded. All
this may be bad for poor Sambo, but it
is glorious for Choctaw. Somebody
wanted to keep Revcls ont of the Sena-
torial body on account of his African eX
traction. Will they now attempt to do
the same thing by alleging that he is en-
titled to no political privileges which
