SALT WATER TALK. - Washington
Rocket contributes 70 the Boston Com
nsercial Bulletin the following very bad
ones:
The reason why ship is by common
consent designated in the feminine gem
der is because 30 much attention has to
be paid to her rigging.
The Maine sails of vessels are often
made in Massachusetts.
A ship is never quiet; in dead calm
there are always raflins in the shrouds.
The only time vessels are known to
have anything to do with printing types
is on their entrance into port; then there
is generally pilot on board.
Sailors may make sail. and yet not be
sail-makers. -
It is not che best spokesman that is
placed at the wheel. A young man who
is fully competent to attend to the steers
on farm finds he steers wild on board
ship.
You cant breakfast off roll of the
sea any moro than you can be scolded
by the rail of the ship.
You cannot purchase any liquor at the
cap.tan bar.
The mate of ship considers himself
a man and sailor, but have hud the
captain tell me his mate was aboard.
Upon questioning the mate closely, he
owned he 1cas bored; but passenger
who peeped into his state-room in port
one morning informed me that he was q
sharing.
A knotty question is tho ships speed.
and the captain may be naughty enough
to tell you it is not ques tion Of miles
knots he looks OF it.
A ship may be said TO resemble log
wood when it's in port
You cannot loosen the ships hold by
telling all hands to ''let CO."
Sailors generally regulate their watches
by the ships bells.

TnR HORSE FROM MoRA1 STAND.
POHST!-The driver who fights his horse
has not got through the first lesson in
the managementlof these animals. Some
strike tteir horses in q at of anger; others
beat them as q punishment for what they
conceive to be sinful acts on the part Of
the horse. Now, the fact is;; the horse
never does wrong on purpose. In this
respect he is better than most men. If
he refuses to pull, it is the fault OF educa.
t!on; and it he runs. away; and kicks
things to pieces, lit is @betause ho is
frightened. Men, when they are scared,
do some very foolish things, and they
are excused; but no allowance is made
Tor the runaway horse. He ia kicked and
cuffed and beaten, as if what twas done
WAS done on purpose to hurt somebody,
and not in consequence Of some sup
posed danger, which the poor animal
was trying to flee from. Horses never
kick without O motive. They use their
heels for defence; md the FIRST kick at
the traces is given to ward off what to
them seems danger. No horse ever kick
ed for any other purpose They cherish
no i'll feeling against any one. and always
do, as far as they know, what is right.
All horses can be educated to do what
ever the driver wishes. They obey
cheerfully and without grumbling even
although put to rest at half rations in o
cold, filthy. muddy stable. A horse can
be taught to know the harness will not
hurt him. Then he will not kick st it
and run away. He is easily taught to
pull by the traces. or by the halter. strap.
If you want him to pull on the halter,
all you have to do is to hitch him 70
something he can easily break, and he
will soon learn to pull back with such
force that no bridal can hold him. If
you want him to pull vel, in che traces.
give him light load until he learns to
move it, and he will soon pull his best at
heavy loads Horses balk or pull just as
they are taught. It does not matter
which end of the horse you fasten the
weight to. They will balk as readily
when hitched by the traces. if properly
trained, as when hitohed by the halter;
and they will pull back ns faithfully by
the halter. if trained to do so. as they
pull forward when hitched by the traces
to wagon. It is an easy matter to
teach horse to refuse to pull at either
the halter or traces, and it is equally
ns easy to teach him to pull by the same
means. If those who drive horses would
keep this in view, they would never
be guilty of the shameful act of beat
ing their team, in mud hole or on the
hill-side.-Ho,o TO Nuke the Farm Pay.

a Chinese Novel.

Here2is the plot OF a Chinese novel
called ..The Twins" It is given in a
recent review of Chinese literature by
Jessie e. Ringwait: .,
A husband and wife. after years of
constant pickering, finally differ serious
~ about the marriage Of their twin
daughters. These lovely girls are as
sweet aud charming as the twin blossoms
OF the brilliant rose. or the flowers of
the odorous herb bending before the
brseZe,gts%
The husband is absolutely determined
to dispose OF them according to his own
choice. and the wife. with equal obatina-
cy, olaims the same right. The parents
each select their favorite suitor, and the
marriage presents, which are an indis-
pensahle, le,preliminary, are brought to the
house at the same moment.
The irate father drives away with CON
tumely the porters who bear the presents
sent by the suitors chosen by the mother,
and his wife fings aside with contempt
those presented by her husbands favor
ties.
The debate wakes warmer, and threat
ems to become interminable, and the
case is at length carried before the official
who has legal jurisdiction over contests
between parents. The magistrate is q
prudent and worthy man, who, after
Listening carefully to the question at
issue, demands that the daughters shall
be summoned.
The young girls are brought and kneel
before the tribunal. The magistrate per-
mies them to remain silent, but orders
them to exhibit their preference by bow
ing either to the right. where the suitors
chosen by the mother are arranged, or to
the left, where stood those selected by
the father.
The four suitors are equally repulsive
to the girls, and the twins perseveringly
bow their heads and rest their eyes stea-
dily upon the floor. The magistrate,
appreciating the feelings of the daugh-
ters, instantly dismisses all the suitors,
and endeavors to negotiate peace be-
tween the belligerenta; but, as he fails
utterly in his pacific intentions, he pro-
poses q plan of adiustment-the Chinese
specific for the cure of all evils-a COM
petitive examination.
The two men who shall prepare the
best essays upon given subject shall
become the husbands OF the twins. No
possible objection can be offered to snch
an admirable scheme, and the examina-
tion takes place. But, unfortunately,
only one essay is found worthy of accep-
tance, and the author Of it absolutely
refuses to be married, because the higher
powers have condemned him to celibaoy.
He explains that he has been six times
betrothed and six times have his lady
loves; died suddenly, as the victims of q
terrible fate.
Learned astrologers, consulted npon
tho subject, have declared that he will

wife. Perhaps so," answers the wise
magistrate; ''you will be the cause of
misfortune to o awife, but not to-twol"
An arrangement 30 irresistible over
whelms all present, the difficulties are
vanished, and the fortunate essayist hap
PLY marries both the twins.

THAT $4,000. Next week the Audi
tors Report will no dQubtmake its appear
ance in the Ring organ, the Democrat. We
shall endeavor to lay it before the readers
Of the AMERICAN on the following week.
This forthcoming report is probably
more anXiously looked for than any ever
issued in this county, from the fact that
tie taxes were enormously high for a few
years past on account the eXhorbitant
charges madeby those who are in the Ring,
and who regulate our county matters
Ut is n notable fact that but few outside
of the Ring have been able tc procure
contracts or jobs, which the county pays
for The whole has been managed to be
kept within their own circle, and as will be
seen by the Report about to appear, they
have generally charged exhorbitant prices
in order to absorb the large amount of tax
levied upon the people. B.
In addition to the charges made for con-
tracts ior bridges and all other matters of
the county, the Commissioners charges are
also very exhorbitant, and extra clerks
were employed to help to absorb the fund.
But as the people areeall well aware that
10 new buildings or extra expenses were
required the last two years, they will, no
doubt, feel that there is something "rot-
ten in Denmark" that requires explana-
ton from the officers. In other counties
the Commissioners only charge for one
or two days in the week, but we find
tn MI MI
have clerk TO transact the business, and
sometimes additional clerks. There is
also another matter which will need looking
after, and that is the large amount of ,un-
collected taxes, which in many instances
have been tolectod and is in tie hands If
collectors. Whether or not, these col!ec-
tors speculate on the money, is not.known,
but probably it would be well enough to
ascertain from some of them, whether they
were at any expense in procuring the ap-
pointment a. collectors, and were allowed
70 make use Of the money to reimburse
themselves. The amount uncolleeled-this
year isnot quite as largGa last, being some
$4,000 less, by which II may be presumed
that the county expenses for the past year
We're considerably higher .hsu the previous
year.
some of the Ring no doubt would be
very willing 10 suppress the publication OF
the Report, until after the primary election,
Tt could possibly be done, ms some fears
are spprehended that it will not meet the
appreciation of many Of the Domueralle
taxpayers, and that il may have the inhu.
enee Of defeating some II their candidates.

HORRIBLE DEATII-A Man Sufocated
IN Smoke House. Josiah }. Thomas. a
farmer residin & in Locust township, Co
lumbia county, came 10 his death on the
10th inst, under the following melancholy
circumstances. Discovering bright fire
in his Smoke-house about O'Clock in the
morning, he arose, called to his son Ia half
grown boy) TO follow him, and hastened
out. Upon opening the door he found
that piece ofmeat had fallen on the fire,
and in his cagerness to snatch it from the
flames he failed to prop open the door,
which being provided with spring-lock
flew shut, and he was locked in. The smoke
was so dense that he bccamcsutlocated and
fell against the door in such manner that
when the boy arrived he was unable tn
force it epcn. The door was chopped
down, and by the united efforts ofwife and
son the unfortunate man was dragged out
in an insensible condition. He returned
to consciousness during the forenoon, and
lived about two hours being aole to bid
his family farewell and give some direction
about the settlement of his estate. He
was aged about SO years. !Sbamokin Her

LATE advices from Mississippi represent
the anarchy prevailing there as extending
over all the State. Fifteen school houses
were burned in ten days in the eastern
part of the State, and .superiptendents and
teachers have been compelled to fly for
their lives. Next to q Republican voter, a
school-house seems to be the chief object of
hate of the Ku-Klux, a popularity which
has always distinguished the Democratic
party in the South. The purpose of break
ing up the school system, which was never
made common throughout the whole State
nntil the Republicans came into power
there, is freely avowed by the leaders the
new rebellion. In addition to the informa-
ton which we publish Of additional outra-
ges in that State, we have information by
mail which leads us to conclude, what in
deed we have already suspected and ex-
pressed, that Gov. Alcorn has little wish
Tor design to suppress the Ku-Klux in Mis-
sissippi, but is largely responsible for the
Generalization of the party which elected
him as an exponent Of Republican princi-
pies. - ... ,.t.. t..

THE FREE TRADE LExeuE.-Th

% THE FREE TRADE LEkoUE.-This
League organized in New York, by British
agents, and kept up by British gold is
making extraordinary efforts to induce
Americans to give up manufacturing and
thus become dependent on England for
many of our most important articles. We
have received a pictorial sheet evidently
got up in Great Britain, and no doubt ex-
tensively circulated by the League, entitled
Peoples Pictorial Tdrpqyor Wallpaper and
half placard, illustrated on the inner side
,,with large central engraving, omitted

Uncle Sam, and Horace Greeley with a

sent the Tariff There are several other
figures in the picture, showing some OF the
articles Of manufacture protected by the
tariff. The object is to show that Ameri-
can industry requires continual protection

sumcr. The margin is filled with adver-
tisements of British and other manufac-
o turers and insurance companies--and the
whole thing is clearly iofis british origin.

~ tTheseqFree Traders cndeavor to make
: their dupes believe that the amount OF
tariff assessed on each article enh noes the
price to that extent. They know this to .oe
false, and yet they urge it as an argument.
The tariff FIRST put on muslins was about
six cents. Years afterwards our tDanufac-
lures had so improved that they sold the
same muslin something less than the tariff,
and even undersold the English in thei,
own markets. And when Free trader
tried to make farmer believe that he was
taxed six cents yard for the shirt he had
q. on, the farmer replied he could not exactly
understand how that could be as he only
paid six cents for the muslin. ,.o.
And the same could be said of nails, upor
which there was tariff of 3lcts. pei
pound, yet these nails were made and sole
by our manufacturers at 8 cts, or less thar
the tariff, and had not the English adopted

brought into existence, we would have un
