saS' an excellent indication OF the
thrift that prevails among the indus
trial classes ia this country is found
in the number of savings banks es-
tablished in various States, and the
vast sums deposited in them. In
New York full $3.50, 100000 is de-
posted in the savings institutions by
about 100000 depositors. In Mas
sachusetts, there were l31 saving
banks having deposits to the amount
of S114, 100000 This is equal to all
the value of all the corporate capital
invested in cotton, wooden, iron and
textile manufactures nearly double
the appraised value of all the rail
ways, and exceeding by $35, 900, 900
the capital of all the banks of dis
count IN that State last year. In
New York and New England il is
estimated that about S330,000,000
are deposited by over 100000 de-
positors. In the Western States
savings banks are fourishing, and
will in due time compare favorably
with those Of the older States
When we'll managed they are of
great value to those who would lay
by something for 'srainy day"

Trout CULTURE.-Some curious
facts relative to trout culture are pub
lished in q small book by Seth Green
and A. S. Collins, Caledonia, N. V
The Madison Journal gives the fol-
lowing opinion of the book, with a
few of the many interesting things
it contains:
"Mr. Green has had much expert
ence as a trout-breeder; he has been
successful in the business; he is a
close observer, careful patient,
thorough man, evidently, and in this
book we have the result of his OBJ
servations and experience. After
reading this book through man
could, we think, establish trout
pond successfully.
The average life ola trout, he says,
is fourteen years. He has one in his
pond named Helen, which within a
few years has groom old and gray and
,DTinkled.' He thinks trout in it's
prime from three to ten years ofage.
A well-fed trout will weigh pound
when three years old. Trout kept
in the bottom ola we'll or spring will
remain Of the same size for great
many years. Small trout, from one
quarter TO one halfa pound, are best.
Trout commence spawning whom
two years old, giving from two hun
drod TO five hundred eggs each. A
three year old from Eve hundred to
enc thousand, and ono four or FIVE
years old from ono thousand to two
Thousand eggs each. Eggs can be
slipped thousands of miles in boxes,
Pasked in moist mass. They are
sold for ten dollars thousand, and
sent out from December to March
l. Trout one inch long are sold for
thirty dollart Thousand by Seth
Green"

General Grant as a Failure,

According to very high Democratic
authority-Basement Storey high
Gen. Grant is q failure. He failed to
make public his plans and purposes
as President in advance Of taking
the office which was a deadly sim
lie failed in not letting the Democ-
racy dictate his Cabinet--s work
they would so kindly have under
taken. lie has failed to dictate to
Congress the details of it's legislation
on matters strictly within its own
sphero. Ho has failed to increase
tho expenses of the army and navy
but has reduced them. He has
failed TO increase the National debt
but has paid off about 100000, 900.
He has failed TO increase taxation
but urges reduction 40 essential to
tho public welfare. He has failed to
plunge tho country into wsr--but
has established peace with all the
world. He has failed to let the South
re-establish slevery-but has ;estab-
lished peace with all the world. He
has failed TO lot tho gentle savage
practice his playful tomahawk on the
heads Of the frontier settlers, and
make scalping-knife belts out of the
locks OF the hair of white women
and children--but has "struck them
hard" and promises to strike them
harder, if they don't quit this kind
OF amiable practice. Indeed, his
failures have all been Of tho same
class, and what the Democracy es-
TEEN very remarkable, is that the
people seem to kind to take to them.
1t Is indeed marvel how President
Grant could fail 80 constantly, and
yet succeed all the while. It is a
paradox which nightly puzzles the
Democratic intellect.
AS if TO render contrasts more
striking, the Times compares James
Buchanan, whose feebleness and
want of plan or purpose, brought on
the rebellion, with Grant who,
trampled it out; and insists that
Buchanan, WHO failed in everything,
was superior to Grant, who has sue
ceeded in everything. The Demo.
cratic esophagus must have a great
stretch to take down that and not
vince. -C Chicago Republican.

BuTLER's PROPOSED SUBSTITUTE ron
THE INCOME TAx.-Gen. Butler pro-
poses to offer in the House q bill
sbolishing the income tax and instead
thereof assessing five per cent. of the
interest paid on all invested capital,
including national and state bonds
on oil loans running longer than
one year, dividends Of banks,
insurance companies, railroads, ETC.,
and mortgages, leases and rents one
per cent. on successions, legacies.
deeds Of gift other than for charitable
purposes, when the property falls to
the one next in blood, not of a colIat-
eral branch ; and one per cent. when
OF a collateral branch five per cent.
when a stranger or corporation, etc.
All these collections viii be made by
stamps He also proposes to tax the
manufacture and sale of spirituous
and fermented liquors to abolish
the office of assessors and assistant
assessors of internal revenue, and es-
tablish such other offices for the COL
lection of the tax on whiskey and
tobacco as may be necessary, and to
repeal all other inter nal taxations.

s@-There is feature of the Brit.
fish military expedition to suppress
the Winnipeggers, that can
hardly satisfy brave and patriotic
people like the Canadians. The ex-
petition is entirely under the control
of the Home Government. The reg
ular troops are all to be commanded
by Imperial officers, and Canada has
only to obey orders. Even should
Canadian volunteers take part in the
expedition, they will be commanded
by Imperial. not Canadian officers
But there is one boon that Imperial
greediness will leave to the Canadian
volunteers-that of filing soldiers
graves.

The Income Tax.

The income tax floats between
wind and wave. Some time since
the Senate amended the House bill
so as to exempt salaries not received
from the Government, wages of la
Dor, and all incomes Of a similar ma
ture, leaving liable to taxation only
bank and stock dividends and in
comes from permanent Investments
The bill coming back to the House
in this shape on Saturday, that body
refused to concur,a and voted down the
amendment reducing the rate Of tax
alton to three per cent, and exempt
ing $4,000 or $4,000. Mr.. Schenck,
in charge OF the bill in the House,
further announced that he would not
ask for committee OF conference,
but would leave it for the Senate to
90 so if it thought proper. This
leavea the tax just where il now
stands under the old law, and it will
be unfortunate il no change is made.
Tho amendment above referred to
as voted down in the House (and
which il is understood General Grant
favors) probably reflects but the
wishes and feeling Of the country.
The Senate amendment, however, is
. fair ono in it's principle, and would
be willingly accepted as compro-
