ONE of the Oldest elm trees in South
Boston stood in Fourth street, between
Dorchester and G streets, and within a
few days has heen felled. The tree was
quite sound and about six feet in dame
ter near the base. In saving the trunk
into sections for use as butchers blocks,
an obstruction was found in the center, at
about ten feet from the butt. by cutting
a parallel section at distance OF a few
inches, and taking out the Intervening
wood, it was discovered that gun barrel
ran up the core of the tree, itself filed
with wood or pith. The weight and char
acter of the gun barrel indicate that it
may have belonged to Queen Anne mus
ket. A question similar to that which
weighed upon the mind Of George III,
as to how the apple got inside Of the
dumping, troubles the inquisitive Yankee
mind

BABYS RIGHTS.
BIZ GEORGE COOPER.

HER platform is only the cradle
Her speeches are funny and few
wise little head,
But all that is said
Is only vague little "gooP'
But how baby's rights are respected
One nod of her dear, downy head,
Whenever she thinks she g neglected,
And down to her feet we are led.
She lifts up her voice in a minute
Her protests are loud and are longl
Each household affair-she is in 1t, s-
To see there is nothing goes wrong.
The right to twist limbs that are dimpled,
In every extravagant way;
To maui and to tease ~
The cat at her ease
To crow and to creep all the day.
The right to love that is purest-
The right to mothers own love-
The right to guide that is sure.t
To lead her wee footsteps above.
Her sweet little mouth she upraises,
As pure as a rose, dew impearledl
The right to our kisses and praises
D, these her rights, over The world

The German Breslaner Zeitung esti-
mates, in elaborate items, the whole cost Of
the war to Germany, Tins far, at about one
thousand millions Of dollars. Should the
P7usaan Government agree with this esti-
mate, it represents one OF the burdens
Franco would have to assume, in addition
to its own increase of debt and loss of tar
ritory, if it accepts peace on the terms die
tated by Prussia. Adding like amount
for tho increase Of the French debt, and,
again, for the destruction OF French prop
erty, the whole cost OF the war, thus far,
would sum mp at three thousand millions of
dollars, OF $75 per cspita for every inhab-
liant Of France. This is about equal to the
bulk OF our funded aud floating debt at the
close Of tho rebellion, which, Of course, did
not include the destruction Of property oc-
easionea By the war, nor the loss by the
rebel debt. It is about equal 10 one-eighth

mHEycEs DISTRICT.

Tho election in Ohio ahowa an average
Republican gain in all the Congressional
Districts except one. General Schenck is
defeated in tho Third District, by about
one hundred majority, by Lewis D. Camp
bell, after an exciting canvass,
General Schenck is the foremost, it not
tho abiest, member OF the present House
of Representatives He is Chairman Of
the Committee Of Ways anl Mesns-a po-
sision, by the way, which his competitor,
a1r. Campbell, held sixteen years ago. He
is shrewd, persevaring, indefatignble, In
domitable, obstinate, aud, ne presume,
well-n,eaning u1nn. He SC. himself up 1ast
year as the champion Of q protective tasif,
and brought into the Houso the mos. nefa-
1ious scheme Of private epluuder that vasever
reported from the Committee Of Ways md
Meana We cali it now, as ne called it
then, nefarious schems Of private plum
der. We presume that General Schenck,
who lea1ed all that he knows about tariff
taxation from Henry Clay, thirty yeass
aeo, and whose mental constitution FOR
bids That he shop1d eYcs nnlearn anything,
conceived that he was doing most wise
and patriotic act in bringing in bill to
make tho people Of Ohio pay double price
for steel rails, or else break their necks on
iron ones. The dissatisfaction Of his con-
stituen.s was very marked, but it was
thought by thu par.y magnates that. with
the help of the colored vote, and that OF
the Military Asylum at Dayton, they could
squeeze the Gsueral through once more.
11r. Campbell opened the campaign on his
part with speech taking grouud in favor
of the abolition Of Custom Houses, and the
collection Of nil taxes by direct assessment
upon The people. When this injudiciou!
delivetance was made, it was generally be
iered throughout the country tha
Schencl would be reelected. Very few O
the advocates Of revenue reform woul
subscribe to any such scheme g
that- General Schenck made the mos
Of his advantage by obtainin
list Of the ta1nble properly of the di.
tr1ct, and reading to the people theamount
they would severally have to pay in diset
