ample A gentleman paid his State
and county taxes for 1859 amountifg z
TO s75. The same gentleman has just
paid bis taxes for 1870, amounting 10
$500. His property now isabout one
third of its value in 1859 This makes
his taxes now abont twelve times
greater than in 1859. Look at the
criminal extravaganza of the Leglsla-
turc. An instance or two must suffice.
1t was stated without contradiction,
by respectable gentlemen In u meet
ing where several high State officials
were present, that the expenses of the
Legislature before the war averaged
about $4,000; this last session bills
were passed for expenses amounting
TO $4,000 Tho item of stationery
before the war did not exceed $500
per session; last session the bill for
that purpose was $4,000 About one

TO be n Canadian and total stranger
to the people of the county; of the
two latter one cannot write his name ;
the other may perform that feat in u

our officials.

The Murderer RuloR.

Professor Mather, of Amherst Col

ican full account of his recent in
lerview with Bulof in the jail at Bing-
hamton. lie says:
"On one or two passages of Homer
in particular Ruloff showed great
acuiencss of criticism, and most
thorough appreciation of the grandeur
of the sentiment. One or two render
ings of President Fenton he opposed
most vigorously, and when supported
the common version, he quoted from

any practical use Most persons think
him moDomaniac upon this, and GER
tainly his enthusiasm is most remark

sentenced by The highest court to die
on the gallows, and without word,
or apparently thought, about his
doom, ho argued and plead for his

The Moral Lubrioator.


The great moral lubricator which
makes everything in human life run
without friction, is good temper. AS
soon as this is exhausted, the journals
of tho human machine begins to heat,
and wear, and scrcech, aud the entire
mechanism becomes noisy and ruin.
Gus, wastcful OF power
"The horse that irctS, is the horse
that sweals," is an old saying of
horsemen, and il is just as true of men
as of horses. Tho man that allows
himself to get initatcd at every little
thing that goes amiss in his business,
or in the ordinary affairs Of liio, is q
man that, ms a rule, will accomplish
little. and wear out early. lie is a
man for whom bile and dyspepsia
have a particular fondness, aud for
whom children have particular aver
sion. lie is man with perpetual
thorn in his side, which pricks and
wounds at the slightest movement ;
man for whom life has little pleasure,
and the future small hope.
To "kocp Jolly" under all provocd
tions is perhaps a task which only
Dickens Mark raplcy could perform.
We never have met Mark Taplcy in
our experience of human nuture, but
we have seen him closely approxima-
ted and it would bc well it people in
general could approach more nearly
that inimilablc character.
In all phases, emergencies, and oc
cupations of human life, good temper
is a commodity for which there i
great demand but in those wlneb
bring an indicilual into daily contact
with many others, perhaps IN greatest
demand and most limited supply
We have often suffered in our per
sonal feelings, from the inciviliiy o.
telegraph operators, railroad conduc
tors, ticket agents, etc. No doubt
these officials have much TO try thclI
patience. and are called upon to an
swer many foolish questions. VIZ
