HIGH LIFE.

Every day we find in the Sun, the
Mail, and other fashionable periodicals.,
long and fulsome reports of Marriages
IN High Life. What does it mean !? Is
money High Life, or does the fact of ac-
quaintance with a reporter make high
life, or is political aspiration high life
won't somebody tell us We learn from
one paper that all Brooklyn is aglow be-
cause High Hife Mr.. - marries High
Life Miss -. The newspapers give
details of the presents made, of dresses
worn, of the intended bridal trip, and of
such other inside information as could
be furnished only by parties interested.
Is this high life A few days since a
daughter of a High LITER was married to
a very clever fellow in Brooklyn, and
quite a stir was made about it in the
local papers, all of which seems to be
the family custom, for the High-Life Pere
went through similar puffery at his sec
ond turning off a few weeks before. But
weeks after the daughters marriage
further particulars are announced, and
with all gravity the newspapers state that
old High LITER has not only given his
daughter an elegant mansion, but
check for $4,000.
Is this High Life In other words. is
it High Life when a man dresses and
undresses in the public eye, opens up
his most private affairs to the reporters
gaze, seeks offensive notoriety, and puts
his very daughters marriage bed in the
public square These things are paid
for, of course. Experience proves that
men and women who start from nothing
and become rich by accident, by specu-
lation by the sale Of farm property for
city lots at fabulous prices, by keeping
eating house and looking sharp after the
slush barrels. by using official position
for private ends or by buying up their
own paper at fifty cents on the dollar
with money which belongs to their creal-
tors, are foptd Of this notorlety and Pg?Y
fer II. They itch to see their names IN
print. To have it told that Mr., and Mrs.
= are leaders in society makes them
radiant. To see it published that Miss
- "is lovely" that Miss - is the
prettiest lady in New York, that "Mr.
Mrs. - and lovely daughters are
prominent members" Of such or such an
association, that Mr.. - gave his
charming daughter a check for SOC. 900,
and told her to stick it in her pocket {;
these are the sum and substance Of the
the present prospective happiness of
nine-tenths of the fools who are chroni-
cled as movers and dwellers in "high
] life. ~ 7. Star.

The manner in which the general
State expenditures have kept within
reasonable bounds affords matter of con-
graduation to every citizen, while the
rapid and continued swellings of the
amounts levied for municipal purposes
is significant and alarming. Beginning
with nearly a million and half of dol
lars in 1868, it increases at the average
rate of nearly three-fourths Of a million
yearly, until in 1870 it reaches the enOr-
nous total of almost FIVE and half mill
lions of dollars. In most of the levies for
other purposes there is, as will be seen.
an occasional diminution from one year
to another succeeding, but in municipal
taxation the burden grows continually
heavier, until in the present year, it has
become too grievous to be borne. By
nearly a million Of dollars do the city
and village Ievies exceed those of the
State, including the entire amount raised
by the latter for the education of the
people. The method by which the
heavy drain upon the resources Of our
people is to be diminished, or at least
kept from further growth, presents to
our State Legislators one Of the most inn
portant problems that can come before
them, and is worthy the careful consid-
Grafton of the best intellect Ohio can
furnish Cincinnati GaEekfe.

WEATHER RHYMES.


The,old settlers of New England pre-
servedEsSme of the old English rhymes
and prophecies of coming weather.
as to be now considered almostinfallible
When the glow-worm lights her lamp,
Then the air is always damp.
1.-THE cock goes growing to bed.
He's sure to rise with wet head.
When black snaiIs do cross your path,
Then black clouds much moisture hath.
When the peacock loudly bawls,
Soon wen have both rain and squalls.
When We see the gossammer flying,
Then be sure the air is dying.
A rosy sunset presages good weather.
A bright yellow sky in the evening
indicates wind a pale yellow sky IN the
evening indicates wet.
A neutral gray color at evening is a
favorable sign for the morning an un-
favorable one.
The clouds, if soft, underlined, and
feathery, betoken fine weather.
Deep, unusual hues in the sky indi-
cate wind or storm. More delicate tints
bespeak fair weather.
A rainbow in the morning
Gives the shepherd warning.
That is, if the wind be easterly; be-
cause it shows that the rain-cloud is ap.
preaching the observer.
If at sun rising or setting the clouds
appear of lurid red color, extending
nearly to the zenith, it is a sure sign of
storms and gales of wind.
If the moon shows like a silver shield,
Be not afraid to reap your held;
But If she rises haloed round.
Soon will we tread on deluged ground.
A rainbow at night is the sailors delight.
This adage may also be a good sign,
provided the wind be westerly, as 1t
shows that the rain-clouds are passing
away:
When rocks fly sporting high in air,
It shows that windy storms are near.
The evening red and the next morning gray
Are certain signs of a beautiful day.

RE, OHIO, FRIDAY. DECEMBER 9, 1870.

gregate vote cast at the state election
last year, a change of less than twenty
FIVE thousand votes, drawn from the Re
publican party, would have secured the
election Of the Democratic candidate
for governor; and it was from the Re
publican party alone, at the late trial Of
strength, that there was any hope of
gaining recruits for the new party. The
triumph of Democracy, thus secured,
would have made a jubilee in every
dram-shop in the land, as well as have
exerted a baleful influence upon the pol
tics Of the nation generally. Its signal
defeat, therefore, is to be hailed as in
behalf of liberty. temperance, and re-
form.
A teetotaler for more than forty years,
and desirous of seeing the sale Of all in
tOxicating liquors prohibited for drink
ing purposes, am nevertheless opposed
to seeking this end by the formation of
a distinct political party, whether in
Massachusetts or elsewhere, believing it
viii retard rather than advance the
cause so dear to all true friends of tenn
peranCe.

AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS


For some time past it has been the
great mission of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial and its Washington correspondent,
D. P, to maintain before the world that
the President is wholly under the control
of the Dent family. And now comes
d. P. and spoils it all by saying;
Aside from this, do not believe LOUIS
Dent has any influence over ms ENceI-
lency. And since that MISSISSIPPI nasCO
wherein the President promised Louis
the support of the administration, and
while poor Louis was promising Offices
right and left, suddenly withdrew his
support, so that poor Louis fell a great
distance, and was split all to pieces, in a
ridiculous way--I say, since then there
has not been the kindest feeling between
them. People who have the misfortune
Of being better acquainted with the fam
lily than am, say that the only brother
in-law who really has an influence over
Ulysses is the pious Corbin, of various
odorous memories. When the aurifer-
Gus Corbin appears the Executive weak
ems. But, as for the Dents, ! believe
those gentlemen-excepting the High
Custodian of the Boot-iack and Keeper
Of the Card d-basket-would rejoice with
exceeding great JOY if their illustious
connection were hanged.
