nspslal1ea and Wealth.

An interesting table, compiled from
the census returns, 10 forwarded to
The New York Times by its Wash
ington correspondent. It shows the
total valuation in each State compar-
ed with the population. The table is
incomplete, hut that tact does not de-
tract from it's interest. The chief
purpose il to show the inequalities Of
assessments in different States. The
Boston Advertiser complains that
the "worthlessness Of such 6gures il
made apparent by the TACT that Maine
and New Hampshire, each assessed
tar below the real value Of their
property, are represt nted to be rich
er Yer espisS than Illinois, Missouri
and Wisconsin" But it should bc
noted that in the west, also, % noto-
riously in Iowa, assessments for the
purposes OF taxation, place property,
and particularly real estate, the prin-
cipal element of western wealth, far
below its actual value. OF course
the census returns follow State assess
ments. We reproduce the table such
as it is:

I'll tell You what's the matter,

What I might have told before;
That the place to get your goods,
From yonr Slippers to your Hoods,
II at the Union Store.
f1Vhey have silken Flannels there,
= And thousand things to spare,
A fact or two worth knowing;
Thsir pricss are 20 low,
That every one should know
How fast their goods are going.
Ia Boots and Shoes, their dealings
= Are suited to the ieeliugs
OF these hard aud pressing times;
So. if you're needing any,
With the remnant OF your money,
Go buy your fives and mines.
Tn Groceries, too. they say,
= They are selling every day,
At prices wondrous low;
So that those who come to bay
Will often ask them "why
They beat their neighbors So"
They have Goods upon the way
= For their Store most every day,
Which l should have told before;
So their Goods are always fresh
And are taken with n rush

After Senator Sumner made hi
speech on San Domingo and the Pres
idcst, Senator Howe, q man witt
whose ability is mingled large share
OF dsmagogic facultieS characterized
J the speech ~ made in the interests o
the Democratic party, and proceeded
with great show Of authority, tc
read the old abolitionlst out OF the
Republican party. Of course Sena
tor Howe could not help knowing
that Senator Sumner could no more
be . Democrat than JEFF Davis could
be Republican, and he made hii
charges with full knowledge that j,
was Al huncombe and false assamp
ton. Many Of the respectable and
all the un-respectable Republican
newspapers, most of whom ought to
have known better, joined the cry,
and in fearful agonies read Senator
Sumner lectures on his apostasy.
A few days ago, the bill Tor the
suppression Of the Ku Klnx was be-
fore the Senate, and it was support.
ed IS earnestly by Senator Sumner
- by any Republican Senator, sup
ported as earnestly as it was opposed
by Democratic Senators. It seems
that Senator Thurman had been de-
ceived by Senator Howe's declaration
and honestly expected that Summer
could not longer act As Republican
Undoubtedly, he entertained the idea
that the President gives law as well
as principles to . party, according to
good old Democratic doctrine and
usage. His surprise at Mr.. Summers
speech in favor Of the Ku klux bili
was unconcealablc.
The speech of NJ. Sumner COM
pletely anhprssd Mr.. Howe, and he
did the best thing he could do under
the circumstances, retracted his charg-
cs against Mr., Sumner, and took hlsh
back into tho Republican told.
It now remains to be- seen It The
Republican press Of the country who
followed Senator Howe in rcasling
Sumner ont Of the party. will follow
in welcoming him back. They need
not exhibit the generosity Of Senator
Howe in the declaration that his as
sumpt,on - 70 Mr.. Summers position
was untounded. 1t will probably be
sufficient if they will announce that
Senator Sumner has proved that he
intends 70 remain Republican. We
await with great interest the exhibi-
ton that Senator SuMner's Repuhli-
can enemies will make Of themselves.

Where Is Home


Home is where affectionbinds
Gentle hearts in unisda
Where the voices all arekind,
Holding sweet eommupion.
Home is where the heartcan rest
Safe from darkening Srrow
Where friends We love tie best
Brighten every n crroH,
Home is where the friends that lovo
To our hearts are giyeA;
Where the blessings iron above
Make it seem heavcn.
Home is where tho stare Twill shine
In the skies above us ...r
Peeping brightly through the vino
Trained by those who love US
Yes, It's home where smiles Of cheer
Wreath the brows that greet US:
And the one of all most sdear
Ever comes to meet us.

A WORD FOR COUNTRY NEWSPAPERS. -
The Cleveland Herald makes the follow.
ing truthful observation concerning
country papers, aud the duty Of giving
them wholesome support;
The local paper is an absolute necessi.
ty to the county and community where
it is published. All the city papers can
not supply the place Of the home paper.
That should bo the first love Of every
man and woman, for with the paper IS
the locality identified. The paper gives
the county and town where printed much
Of their importance in the world, and
gives in detail the local news, which can
not be gained by any other source. Eve
ry days issue of the paper is so much
local history, and the rise, growth and
development OF the town and county can
ba measured and recorded only by the
local newspaper that constantly is gath
cring it's items People do not properly
appreciate their home newspaper. They
measure the value Of a paper too much
by the number OF columns it contains
The home paper at any price is the cheap
est paper one can take, for in it is found
the information to be obtained from no
other source.
Another thing to be taken into con-
sideraiion. Every county has one or
more newspapers. Hence circulation OF
each paper must be limited. There is
therefore the greatest need Of activity
aud interest on the part OF the people to
give their own good paper, vigorous.
and substantial support. -t

LOOK OUT FOR SMALL Poy.-Richtield
Sulphur Springs gives out a strong odor
OF suphureted hydrogen, which is like
the smell Of rotton eggs. Seine years ago
trsveler ON horseback was approaching
the springs, and observing a white flag
which was raised on pole by the labor
ers employed, inquired OF man standing
at the door OF public house half a
mile from the spring, if that flag was the
sign of smallpox. The man addressed
being something of a wag said. perhaps
it is Well" said the traveller, :" is
there no way by which | can go round
and give smallpox wide breath q Said
the man "you will have to go some eight
miles out of your way. But i can tell
you how you can pass that flag, small
pox and all, in perfect safety; just ride
on within fifty rods Of the flag, and then
hold your breath till you get fifty rods
beyond the spring, and you will be per-
fectly safe" The traveller did as direct
ed, When he supposed he had reached
within fifty rods Of the spring, he s'ezed
his nose with one hand and put the goad
on with the other His horse made rap
i'd bounds, and he, a quixotic figure at
tractcd the gaze Of the laborers, who
stood astonished But when just oppo.
site the spring he could no longer hold
his breath He Ioosened the hold Of his
nose and took a snuff Of the sulphureted
hydrogen gas, /" o God,' he shrieked,
1--WE caught it'll" He seized his nose
again and passed out of sight. Whether
he died Of smallpox or what BECAME OF
him was never known.

ANIMALS THAT CHEW THE CUD.-Rum
mating animals gather their food rapidly
give it few cuts with the teeth, and
swallow it. 1t goes to an interior recep
tacle, where it is moistened; this is very
essential if it be dry hay. When the an
imal has filed himself, he masticates the
food thus slowed away in his stomacah
raising it cuG by cud. When a portion
is completely masticated, it passes to an,
othr receptacle, and the progress Of di-
gestion goes on. Thus an OK, if left to
himself, will raise and mastcatc all his
food thus slowed away in his stomach
II he be pushed and worked hard; and
does not have time to masticate, he falls
off in flesh, his health ispoor, his diges-
ton incomplete.
The horse, on the contrary, however
much in hurry he may be, must masti-
cate each mouthful before he swallows it
A hungry OK, let into a meadow, will
flll himself in twenty minutes, while o
horse would want at least an hour and
twenty minutes to take the same amount
OF grass. The OK, sheep, goat, deer,
cbamois and rabbit, being the natural
prey of ferocious beasts, are endowed
with the extra stomach in which hastily
to stow away the food without mastica
ton This may, perhaps, be regarded as
wise provision Of nature, enabling
them to sally forth where the food is
plenty, and in short time fill themselves
and retire to place Of safety to rumin
ate their food at their leisure

New ESTERPRlsE.-On the 10th inst,
cargo of fresh beef from Texas was
landed at Philadelphia, consisting oftwo
hundred and twenty beeves, cut into
quarters, making about 10000 pounds.
The cattlcr were slaughtered in Texas on
August 1st. and after being cut up, the
beef was Immediately put in the hold OF
tho vessel, which was supplied with ice
after the manner OF refrigerator, the
steamer [ Fire fly being built expressly
for the transportation of fresh beef The
voyage from Rocbport to Philadelphia
was made in nine days, and the beef,
when unlonded found to be rs sweet as
on the day Of its shipment. This is said
to be the first consignment OF the kind
that has ever reached Philadelphia from
Texas but it is expected that the success
of the experiment will give rise to new
and profitable trade, which will greatly
reduce the cost Of beef in that city, while,
at the same time, adding to the wealth Of
Texas by forming another and cheap out
let for her immense droves Of cattle, in
the form Of fresh Texan beef.
