grafton from Europe, and at the same
time prepares the way for the estab-
lishment of free institutions on that
continent. Nor can there be any doubt
that the policy of accepting of the debt
as permanent, would retard emigration
from Europe, especially the reading
and rejecting classes. Whatever ar
guments may be adduced, or whatever
theories may be beadvanced, the fact must
ever remain that the public debt is a
public evil. 1t is especially burden
some to the laboring classes, and it is
therefore in their interests to provide
for the constant reduction of the
existing national debt. This policy
will not prevent such changes in the
revenue system, from time to time, as
will equalize the inevitable burdens of
our present condition, and, within q
comparatively short period, taxes may
be removed from many articles of prime
necessity. tits an occasion Of satisfac-
tion that no other nation ever passed
through great war with so slight a
shock to industry and business. Spe-
cific information and general intelli-
gance from various parts of the United
States show that all classes, and espec-
tally the laboring classes, are in the en-
joyment of more than the average pros
perity, whether tested by experience in
this country or by the present condi-
tion of other nations. No reason can
be found, however, in the favorable
condition of public and private affairs,
for neglecting any proper measures for
equalizing and diminishing the burden
of taxation, but it does jnstify the state
ment that the nation can make provis-
ion for the public debt in the way rec
commended without embarrassing in
dustry or retarding its progress.

Condition of Lady Thorne.
From the Rochester Union, Nov. so.

From the Rochester Union, Nov. so.
This famous trotting mare has been
in this city ever since her accident on
the 4th of August, resting quietly at
the stables attached to the residence of
Hon. n. c. Bradstreet. She has been
carefully watched, and everything done
that human ingenuity could devise to
restore her to the turf. All remedies
have failed, and the most saDguine
have abandoned the hope to see her
again on the course. The point of the
bone on the left hip is four or five inch
es lower than it should be, and she
throws the foot, or rather drags it,
when she walks, much like man who
has suffered from paralysis. The
condition of the mare other
wise is excellent. Her keeper informs
us that she was never in better health.
She runs at freedom over a stable floor,
upon sawdust, and receives company
with an apparent relish. She is a very
kind, docile animal in the stable, and
her misfortune is the subject of regret
by all who see her. She will leave
Rochester in a day or two for New
York. Dan Mace is expected here soon
to take her away. She Will be devoted
to breeding, and may yet give the
American turf a defendant that will
beat her time. Lady Thorne is now IA
years old. She has trotted a mile in
2:17., and it is thought by those best
informed that but for this accident she
would have beaten this time, and that
of every other horse at the Buffalo ra-
ces. She is owned by the Mace Broth
ers, and cost them S35, 600. Twice that
sum would not have bought her before
the accident

TooTHAcns IN DUMB ANIMALs.-It
must be dresdful when poor dumb ami
mails suffer from toothache. Every one
has read how poor Chunce, the eleph-
ant at the old Exeter Change, in Eng
land, went mad from it; and it is popu-
larly supposed that it is often cause
of madness in dogs, and / really think
it very probable. The poor brutes
seek the sympathy and aid of their mas
ters: for I have known poor old cat
come moaning time after time, until it
drew attention to its teeth. A surgeon
who was visiting at the house first sug-
gested the cause of the animals dis

Speak no word Of heartless blame,
For the slanderer's vile detrsction

Never make their bosoms glad.

According to this estimate there Will
be a surplus applicable to the payment
of the principal of the public debt, in
addition to the present payments made
ON that account, through the sinking
fund, of SO, ,778, ,6S0.39. An analysis of
the expenditures develops a fact
tending to sustain the opinion that
the balance will be considerably larger
than appears from the foregoing esti-
mates The sum of $22, 338, 278-37 IS
estimated for public works. The ap-
preparations for these objects and for
interest on the public debt are SO near
" equal to the receipts as to justify and
demand the greatest caution In dealing
with the revenues and business of the
country. 1t is apparent that disaster,
or even q serious check, to business
would reduce the revenues below our
necessary expenditures. 1t IS apparent,
also, that the prosperous condition OF
the country is largely due to the revenue
system inaugurated during the war, by
which manufact, rers' and mechanics
arts have been intended to be estab-
/ lished- This policy cannot now be
rashly abandoned or suddenly and radi-
cally changed without great injury tc

auent losses of revenue.

THE NATIONAL FINANCES.
ANIMAL Report OF the Secretary OF the
Treasury.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT, WARRINGTON, D. C.,(
Dec. s. 1870.
SIR:-The financial condition of the
country has improved during the past
year. The average rate of gold for the
year 1869, as shown by weekly sales,
was 329 per centum premium, and for
the first eleven months of the year 1870,
15.2 per centum premium, indicating
an improvement in the value of paper
currency of about II per centum. From
the first day of July, 1869, to the 30th of
June, 1870, inclusive, the public debt,
as shown by warrant account, was re
duced in the sum S101, ,601, ,916.SS.
From the 1st day of December, 1869, to
the 3Oth day of November, 1870, inclu-
sive, the reduction was S119, 251, ,240. So,
as shown by the monthly statements of
the public debt. The total reduction
from the 1st of March, 1869, to the LIST
of December, 1870, was $191, 154, 765. 36.
The consequent reduction in the inter

Too MANY Cows.-A writer in the
Maine Farmer recommends that farm
ers should not keep too many cows,
and cites well attested instance In
which two cows, by having the same
amount of food given them as had been
previously given to four, had yielded
considerably more butter, cheese, etc,
than had been before obtained from
double the number; that is, that the
two upon extra feed had produced more
than four. We can believe this state
ment, and believe with the writer, also,
that farmers should not keep more
COWS, or stock of any kind, than they
can keep well, both as to food and shel-
ter. 1t should be as much of the bust
ness of the farmer to grow full supply
of winter provender for his stock as IT
is to furnish them with summer pasture;
and yet how many there are who never
dream of such thing as setting field
of clover or any of the artificial grasses,
relying altogether upon the precarlous
resources of their corn-felds to carry
their stock through the winter and ear
ly spring months. Nor do many OF
them pay proper attention to saving
the provender from those quarters.

INSECT DEPREDAuoNs.-f / were to
estimate the average loss per annum Of
the farmers of this country from insects
at 500, 600, 900, 1 should doubtless be
far below the mark. The loss of fruit
alone by the devastation of insects,
within radius of fifty miles from this
city, must amount in value TO millions.
In my neighborhood the peach once
fiourished, but fiourishes no more, and
cherries have been all but annihilated.
Apples were, till lately, our most prof
liable and perhaps our most important
product; but the worms take half our
average crop and sadly damage what
they do not utterly destroy. Plums
we have ceased to grow or expect; even
the currant has at lastits fruit-destroy-
ing worm. We must fight our paltry
adversaries more efficiently or allow
them to drive us wholly from the field.

RoYALrY AND POVERTY IN ENGLAND.

ROYALTY AND POVERTY IN ENGLAND.
The people of England are becoming
exasperated with the demands of the
royal family in the way of dover mo-
ney for its numerous offspring.
A large meeting of the Liberal Leage
was held in London on Friday, for the
purpose of protesting against the dowry
of national money to Princess Louise.
Bitter speeches were made contrasting
the pauperism of the country, there be-
ing 1877, 600 paupers in London alone
and many dying of starvation every
hour, to the wealth of the Queen, who
draws 100000 year besides other
large sums, for the royal family. She
does nothing in return. The least she
might do is to initiate the example of
the poorest workman and provide for
her own children. An appeal is made
to the entire people, ignorant and edu-
Gated, to decide by ballot whether or
not they should supersede the present
cumbersome and inhuman system of the
government by the establishment of a
Republic. The speakers were Messrs.
Hovellemann and Currins.
