= A parallel for the fate of vallan

A parallel for the fate of Vallan-
digham is found in one of Boccaccio's
stories of girl and ner lover: They
were in a garden together; the young
man raised a flower to his lips and
slightly hit one-of the leaves; he fell;
in an instant he was dead. She who
was accused of poisoning the man she
loved best on earth besought her
judges to be allowed to revisit the
fatal garden, promising that she would
show them how the thing was DONE
They granted her prayer. "It was
thus" she said; plucking fiower.-
She put it to her lips; her teeth just
pressed leaf, in an instant she was q
corpse"

A Great Story Well Applied.

The following is an extract of
Washington letter to the New York
Standard:
The general acceptance of the 'new
departure" by the Democracy, shows
to what straits that party is reduced
1 overheard a conversation in the
Postohfce Department a few days
since, between a convert of the new
departure and an old liner still elm
ging to his idols which clearly illus
trates the position. The old liner was
fierce in his denunciation of the new
religion, characterizing it in language
more torcible than polite, when the
convert, laying hand on his friend S
shoulder, said: Let me tell you a
story which l think illustrates our po-
sition as party: A young man am
bilious of literary renown, wished to
write an essay upon the habits of the
beaver. For the purpose Of cleaning
some information on the subject, he
went to an old trapper ofwhom he had
heard, and asked him to give him
some of his experience or knowledge
of the habits of the animal in ques-
ton. "Well, stranger" said the trap
per, 81 can tell you story about my
dog and beaver that will be worth
something, l reckon. My dog got
after one of them animals once, and
they had a devil of a time to see which
would beat; the beaver ran into the wa
ter; the dog followed him onto log,
over it, under it, the dog gaining all
the time on the beaver At last the
beaver made for the bank, the dog in
hot pursuit. Seeing no way of escape
from the dog who was pressing him
closely, the beaver ran up tree. .
RAN up a treer' exclaimed the aspir-
ant for literary fame; ''the beaver is
web footed and can't cline q tree."-
Generally not" replied the trapper,
''but, stranger, don't you see, the
beaver was obIeedged to climb that
tree, for my dog was crowdin' of him. .
ssAIsL friend - continued the convert
"We are Obleedged TO nUre-anew de.
parture, for the Republican party is {
crowdin' of u.s."

- It is announced, on excellent au-
thority, that more than half million
pounds of willow leaf were made up at
Shanghai last season, and palmed off
as green tea The willow leaf, as pre-
pared, can not be distinguished from
green tea by the eye; but, to cover the
difference in taste, it has to be mixed
with tea before being sold. 1t can be
produced at cost of about 4 cents q
pound, and can be used in the proper
ton of twenty to for per cent. of the
whole mixture.

all the trade is carried on by trust.
The merchant trusts the trader; the
trader trusts the dealer in oil, ivo-
ry, red wood, India rubber, &c. and
he again trusts the native; paying be
fCrehand for what he can have them
promise TO furnish him on his next
trip, which will not be sometimes for
two or three months. Any sickness
or accident may get an extension of
time. All the traders have old accounts
of years standing, which the friends,
if the man dies, are required to pay.
If, in civilized country, such sys-
TEN could only be carried on with i'm
mense risk and often loss, it is certain
" marvellous here; yet thousands of
dollars go out every day from this
place, without any expectation of pay
for six months or a year, and large
amount of this trade is rum, which of
all debts would be the most unusual
for man TO pay. The large amount
of trade at one trading place will not
seem surprising, when we consider the
population. There are perhaps three
or four hundred thousand people sup
piled with all they have of civilized
manufacture, from this town. One
firm, or factory, (as they call their
store, has twenty seven ocean going
vessels in constant use, and the amount
of capital employed may be judged
from the fact that these vessels cost
from ten to fifty thousand dollars each,
yet one good cargo Of ivory would
pay for them all.
The unhealthfulness of this country,
am convinced, is not due so much to
the climate, as the malaria arising from
the Mangrove swamps. I am sure
you are suffering more from the heat
now, than We are. We have no dust,
no house flies, no sultry days and
nights without breath of air stirring,
but always a cool breeze from the sea,
or down the river, and in the morning
and evening find eur winter clothing
comfortable. I have not seen fan
used here since l arrived. If these
two weeks are a specimen of this eli
mate, think, when fully appreciated,
this place will rival Long Branch as a
summer resort LovEJoY.

DEMOCRATIC poDG1NG.

Convention of Pennsylvania resolved
not many weeks ago:
"Resolved that the present tariff is,
in many of it's features, oppressive
should be revised, and that we here
with request our Representatives in
Congress, when the tariff shall be the
subject of readjustment, to see that the
immense products of the State and its
industries are properly cared for.
What are the productions of Penn
sylvania Iron and coal. One would
suppose that the present tariff was not
high enough, and that they want great
er protection for their main indus
tries.
l refer to this resolution as a fraud
upon the people that, while pretending
to be opposed to the tariff, they abso-
lutely call for further protection of
the productions of Pennsylvania
When did you ever know a Pennsylva-
MIA Democrat to vote for anything but
the highest tariff on iron and coal; or
q Kentucky Democrat to vote for any
thing but the highest tariff on hemp,
or a Texas or Louisiana Democrat to
vote for anything but the highest tariff
We come to the State of Ohio. That
State resolves as follows:
THAT we are in favor of a strictly
revenue tariff, conformed to the theo-
ry and principles of all other just and
wise tax laws, and opposed to the pro
tective theory. SO called"
Can anybody explain what that will
be? Has anybody here the slight
| est suspicion what will be considered
"wise and just" taxes The Demo
cratic convention in Maine met the
other day, and they had their resolve
upon the tariff. They asserted that
they were opposed to a high protec.
tive tariff, which, of course, leaves the
inference to be drawn that they were
not in favor of greater protection
Now the Democratic National Conven
ton in 1868 passed the following res
olution:
THAT we are in favor of tariff fol
revenue upon foreign imports. and
such equal taxation under the laws a:

The Republican party occupy sub
stautially the same ground We are
all in favor of a revenue tariff, anc
that it should be so adjusted, as far a.
it can be without imparing the revenue
to protect our own industry. A strict
ly revenue tariff can be so regulated
either that it shall encourage and pro
tect our own industry, that it shall en-
courage and protect foreign industr,
f and give them the advantage, and th
Democratic party, three years ago, de
clared that they were in favor of hav

THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Speech of Senator Morton.

We have no where seen the Tariff
question more ably and satisfactorily
presented than it was by Senator Nor
ton at recent speech of his at Louis
vile. In as much as our opponents
talk a good deal about the Tariff,
without seeming to know what they
are talking about, we copy so much of
his speech as presents his views. The
various resolutions of the Democracy
on the subject will also not fail to at
tract attention. Read the following:
"Another thing considerably talked
about in Kentucky, as l find from the
attention given to it in your papers, is
the tariff. The Democratic party de
nounced the tariff as exceedingly op-
pressive, and they want TO change it.
What do they propose to give you in
place of it? The Democratic State
Convention of Kentucky recently
passed resolution upon this subject,
which / will read:
THAT the Industries of the country
demand the abolition of the present
mode of raising revenues, by which
portions of the Republic are oppressed
and robbed to enrich monopolies and
certain sections, and the speedy adop-
ton of a system by which the burdens
of taxation shall be equally and justly
distributed, and taxes actually paid
shall reach the Treasury"
Now, what are the present means
of raising revenue, the tariff, or what
we call the system of revenue taxation.
This wise convention resolved that the
present mode must be abol
ished and some other substituted.
Now, there is one other mode that
can be substituted, and that is direct
taxation. How are direct taxes to be
imposed upon the States equally p
Kentucky and Massachusetts have
about the same population, and the
Constitution provides that direct taxa
tion must be apportioned among the
several States according to population.
But Massachusetts is vastly more
wealthy than Kentucky, and under a
system of direct taxation Kentucky
will pay as much as Massachusetts.
For example, if the government
should levy one hundred millions of
taxes, the first section of the bill would
apportion among the various States
how much they should pay, and they
would pay, not according to their
wealth, but according to their popula-
ton. In the Western and New States
we have large population, but com
paratively small wealth, and they
would therefore pay more taxes than
the old States that have great wealth
but comparatively small population
Now there can be no other system
substituted for the present mode than
that of direct taxation. Did they
mean that2 If they did not, what did
they mean? Did they mean anything,
or was this simply a resolution that
might be construed to mean anything
or nothing, just as it suited the politi-
clans to use it? daughter.

JAMES B. BELT, THOMAS E. WILLIAMS
AND JOHN w. WILLIAMS, TRADING
AS BELT WILLIAMS & co.
JOHN +. PARKER, GEORGE T. PARKER
AND PETER HENRY PARKER.

'NHE object of this bill is to procure decree
Il for the sale of the real estate of Joseph
Parker, late of Charles County, deceased. The
bill alleges that the said deceased died about
eighteen hundred and fifty, intestate, leaving
a widow since deceased, and James A. Parker
of Prince Georges County, John F. Parker of
Charles County, Geo. T. Parker of Saint Mary S
County, Peter Henry Parker of the State OF
Virginia when last heard of, all of whom are
above the age of twenty-one years; and also
one Thadeus Parker, who died about eighteen
hundred and sixty-fve, intestate and without
ever having been married. The complainants
then show that they are the legal owners of
whatever interest the said James A. Parker, it
being child's part, may have in said real es-
tate, as also that of his wife, a certain Emma
R. Parker. The bill then charges that the said
real estate is not susceptible of division among
them entitled, without loss and injury; and
prays that the same may be sold by decree OF
this Court. 1t finally asks for process against
the said John F. and Geo. T. Parker, and an
order of publication against the said Peter
Henry Parker. 1t is therefore ordered, by
George A. Hunt, Clerk of the Circuit Court
for Charles County, sitting as a Court OF Equi-
ty, this fifth day of May, eighteen hundred and
seventy-one, that the compliments cause
copy of this order, together with the object
and substance of the bill, to be inserted in some
newspaper published in Charles County, once
week for four successive weeks before the fif-
tenth day of July next; giving notice to the
said Peter Henry Parker, one of the defendants
in said bill, and warning him to appear in this
Court, in person or by solicitor, on or before
the eighteenth day of October next, to show
cause, if any he has, why decree shall not
pass as prayed.
