Five hundred and eighty.one dol.
lars and ten cents is rather a large
bull for u Taxpayers to pay in one
case growing out ofthe Liquor Traf-
fe, amt it But this is not ali,
taxpayers In addition to the a.
bove sum, there Is tho claim of the
reward Of three hundred dollars, of
fered by the County Commissioners
for the arrest of Miller, yet to set
tie, which, il paid, will swell the
sum to e,gh hundred and s~ighty-one
dollars and ten cents And, besides
this, there is = prospect of Miller
getting = new trial, which, If hesuc-
ceeds in getting, will cost the tax
payers not less than four hundred
dollars more
What 10 you think of it, tax-pay-
ers I? Is it TO your interest to con-
tinue voting with the old political
parties which are upholding the
Liquor Traffic and thereby swelling
your taxes beyond endurance, o. Is
it Jour interest to cast your ballots
with the Prohibition Party that Is
pledged TO drive the Liquor Traffic
from the Land7
The expenses of this case may be
compared with what you have to
pay annually for the dev~astations
wrought by theLlquer Traffic, only
as a grain of sand to the mountain
OF as a drop of water to the ocean.
Could we but get at the actual coAt
of the Traffic in Morgan county a.
Lore, for one year. 1T would appall
every man in the County.
When you go the pelis to vote,
think of this matter, and ask your
self If self-interest does not demand
that you should vote the Prohibit
ton Ticket

JefferSOn'S Last Hours.

Of the death of Thomas Jefferson,
Harper's Magazine for August has the
following:
His parting interview with his family,
ON the I'd of July, was calm and COM
posed. He told his daughter that in an
old pocketbook in certain drawer she
would find something intended for her.
This proved to be these few lines of
verse, composed by himself;
A DEATH-DED ADIEU Tn. j. TO NJ. r.
Life's visions are vanished, its dreams are no
more;
Dear friends of my bosom, why bathed iu
tears
60 to my fathers welcome the shore
Which crowns all my hopes, or which buries
my cares.
Then farewell, my dear, my loved daughter,
The last pang of my life is in parting from you.
Two seraphs await me long shrouded in death
will bear them your love on my last parting
BREATH
To his grandchildren he spoke many
words of calm and serene wisdom, i'm
pressing upon them admonitions, the
cardinal points of which were "to pur-
sue virtue, be true and faithful" One
Of the children, lad of eight years,
seemed somewhat bewildered. "George,
said the old patriarch, with smile,
"does not understand what all this

Died Yesterday.

Every day is written this little SEN
tence-" Died yesterday" Every day q
flower is plucked from some sunny
home a breach made in some happy
circle; a jewel stolen from treasure of
love. Each day, from the sunny fields
of life, some harvest disappears-yes, ev-
cry hour some sentinel falls from his
post, and is thrown from the ramparts
of time into the surging waters of eterni-
ty. Even as we write, the funeral of one
who " died yesterday winds like win
ter shadow along the street.
"Died yesterday" Who died? Per-
hNps it was gentle babe, sinless as an
angel, pure as zephyr's hymn-one
whose laugh was the gush Of summer
nils lettering in the bower of roses
whose life was a perpetual htany-a
may-time crowned with the passion of
flowers that never fade. Or, may-hap,
it was q youth, hopeful and generous
whose path was filed with flowers, with
not serpent lurking underneath-one
whose soul painted for communion with
the great and good, and reached forth
with earnest struggle for the guerdon in
the distance.
"But what heart is still now-he
"died yesterday"
"Died yesterday" A young girl,
pure as the orange flowers that clasped
her forehead was stricken down as she
stood at the altar; and from the dim
aisles of the temple she was borne to the
"garden of slumber." A tall, Drowned
man, girt with the halo of victory, and at
the days close, under his vine and fig
tree, fell to dust, even as the anthem
trembled on his lips; and he, too, was
laid where the crude forefather OF the
hamlet sleeps"
An angel patriarch, bowed with age
and cares, even as he looked out upon
the distant hills for the coming of the
angel host, sank into dreamless slumber
and on his doorpost was written, "Died
yesterday"
"Died yesterday" Daily, men, wom-
en- and children are passing away, and
hourly, en- some graveyard the soil is
flung upon the dead. AS often, in tie
morn, we find some flower that Dlushed
sweetly in the sunset, has withered VI
forever; so daily, when we rise from oui
bivouac, to stand against post, we miss
one brother soldier, whose cherry eyes
in the sieges, struggles OF the past, has
been like dew from heaven upon oul
hearts.
Each day some pearl drops from tho
jewel threads Of friendship-some lyrC
to which we were wont to listen, has
been hushed forever. But wise is lC
who mourns not the pearl and music
lost.

Lesson for Boys Addicted TO Practi
cal Jokes.

NhA OOhObe
From the Peoria (Iil.) Reyiew.l ...
The boys of the Second Ward school
had raised subscription and bought a
football. 1t was made Of India-rubbor,
and was inflated with air. A small
brass tube was used to initiate it, through
an aperture in the side, which closes me-
chanically when the tube is withdrawn.
A day or two ago the boys were resting
from their play, and examining their
ball, when one Of them, a pale, delicate
looking, philosophical little fellow, of
fered to bet that he could put the ball
in his moLth They all laughed at the
idea, as the ball was as big as his head,
but he persisted, and they took up his
bet. He very quickly inserted the tube,
exhausted the air, and rolling the ball
tightly up in a small compass, easily
placed it in his mouth, to the great as
tonishment Of his companions. While
they gazed one of them, filed with mis-
chief, inserted the tube in the aperture
in the ball, which was just visible, and
inflated the football to its fullest extent
The boys screamed with laughter at the
odd appearance OF their puny play-fel-
low, and in their appreciation of the joke
they lost the key! And now for that
piece of thoughtless merriment that poor
little boy must drag on through his
weary life, with his face the size of peck
measure, and no place to put his bread
and butter in. Boys. you cannot be too
careful about playing even what may
seem to be the most innocent joke on
your play fellows

THE ENTERPRISE.
Sweetwater, Thursday, July "a, 1871.
The Thiet'S Expedient.

The Thiet's Expedient.
There is fable among the Hindoos
that thief, having been detected and
condemned to die, happily hit upon an
expedient which gave him hope OF life.
He sent for his jailor, and told him that
he had secret of great Importance
which he desired to impOrt to the King,
and when that had been done he would
be prepared to die. Upon receiving
this piece of intelligence, the King at
once ordered the culprit to be conduct
ed to his presence, and demanded OF
him to know his secret. The thief re-
/ piled that he knew the secret of causing
trees to grow which would bear fruit OF
pure gold. The experiment might be
elsiiy tried, and his majesty would not
lose the opportunity; so, accompanied
by his prime minister, his courtiers and
his chief priest, he went with the thief
to q spot selected near the city wall,
where the latter performed series of
solemn incantations. This done the
condemned man produced piece Of
gold and declared that if it should be
planted it would produce tree every
branch of which would bear gold.
"But," he added, "this must be put
into the ground by hand that has
never been stained with dishonest act.
My hand is not clean, therefore l pass
it to your Majesty"
The King took the piece of gold; but
hesitated. Finally he said:
81 remember that in my younger days
often flched money from my fathers
treasury which was not mine. l have
repented of the sin, but yet hardly
dare say my hand is clean, 1 pass It,
therefore, to my prime minister. The
latter, after brief consideration, an-
swered: - ..-
at were a pity to break the charm
through a possible blunder. l receive
taxes from the people, and as I am ex-
posed to many temptations, how can
be sure that 1 am perfectly honest?
must give it to the Governor of our cit
adel"
"No, no." cried the Governor drawing
back. Remember that have the serv'
ing out of pay and provisions to the
soldiers. Let the high priest plant it.
And the prist said:
"You forget, I have the collecting O
tithes, and the disbursement for sacri
fee"
At length the thief exclaimed:
"Your Majesty, 1 think it were better
for society that all five of us should bt
hanged, since it appears that not al
honest man can be found among u.s."
Iii spite of the lamenhble exposure
the king laughed; and so pleased was HI
with the thiefs cunning expedient, tha
he granted him pardon.

Aunt Hetty'S Advice.

Oh, girls, set your affections on cats,
poodles, parrots, or lap-dogs-but let
matrimony alone. It's the hardest way
on earth OF getting living-you never
know when your work is done ur.
Think of carrying eight or nine children
through the measels, chicken-pox, rash,
mumps, and scarlet fever-some Of them
twice over; it makes my sides ache to
think Of it, Oh, you may scrimp and
save and twist and turn, economise and
die, and your husband will marry again,
take your portrait for board, and
but what's the use of talking? l. war
rant every one Of you will try it the
first chance you get

BE MAN.-Foolish spending is the
father of poverty. Do not be ashamed
Of hard work. Work for the best sala-
ries or wages you can get, but work for
half price rather than be idle. Be your
own master, and do not let society or
fashion swallow up your individuality
hat, coat and boots Do not eat up OF
wear out all that you earn. Compel
your selfish body to spare something for
profits saved. Be stingy to your own
appetite, but merciful to necessities.
Help others, and ask no help for your
self. See that you are proud. Let yonr
pride be of the right kind. Be too proud
to be lazy; too proud to give up with
out conquering every difficulty; too
proud to wear coat you cannot afford
to buy; too proud to be in company that
You cannot keep up with in expenses;
too proud to lie, or steal, or cheat; too
proud to be stingy.

The natural instincts OF womanhood
Ore beginning to tell on the Mormon
system, as the young women utterly re-
fuse to marry the Saints. They have
witnessed the degradation of their mo-
theirs, and decline similar experience
AS consequence, gentle husbands are
in active demand, and the supply is like
ly to be liberal, as some of the most pro-
ductive mines in the West have been
found in Utah, followed by the usual
rush of miners Both political parties
have united in an agreement to elect no
one to the Legislature who is a polyga-
mist, or OF that faith, and it will not
take many Years to root out Brigham
and his followers. With old age, gold
in the mountains, and inrolling tide OF
unbehevers, parties arrayed in open op-
position, and schism in the Church, the
latter days of the Latter Day Saints are
near at hand. It is u barbarism that
cannot survive civilization. The world
will soon hear Young's last sigh.

A SHARP DETECTIVE TRIcK.-Photo-
graphs Of the ruins of the Column of
Vendome were taken after its destruc-
ton by order Of the Commune. In these
pictures the portraits of u number of the
National Guards in attitudes OF rejoicing
at the fall of the column, were incident
ally introduced from their having been
present when the photographs were ta-
ken. Each Of these portraits has been
enlarged and placed in the hands of the
detective police of the present French
Government. just before McMahon's
soldiers entered Paris, photographs OF
the principal barricades were taken, and
in these pictures the portraits in small
of several hundred of the insurgents are
to be seen. These hkenesses have been
enlarged, and are to be used for the az
rest and Identification of the persons
thus incidentally introduced. 1t is be-
ieved that these enlarged photographs
will in many cases secure the condemna-
ton of prisoners who have been arrest
cd on suspicion by the French Govern
ment.

To Grow Mosquitoes.

A correspondent to the Jackson Wing
and Tribune, says:
put half grown wiggletail into a
quinine bottle half full of water, and
covered the bottle with perforated paper.
In three or four days the prisoner threw
off what seemed to be his tail. For two
or three days lie coiled himself like q
worm and foated ON the surface Of the
water in q torpid state, till on the night
of the 4th of July he burst his sheath
and appeared q flying mosquito above
the water.

The Wife.

Miss Bremen beautifully expresses a
good wife's duty: "If you will learn the
seriousness of life, and its beauty also,
live for your husband; be like the night
ingale to his domestic life; be to him
like the sunbeams between the trees;
unite yourself inwardly with him; be
guided by him; make him happy; and
then you will understand what is the
best happiness of life, and will acquire,
in your own eyes, "a worth with God
and with man."

The following recipe for the cure of
infamed eyes is given:
"Take potato, and after quartering
it, CRATE the heart as fine as possible,
and place the grating between piece Of
cambria muslin Place the poultice
over the eyes infamed, and keep it there
fifteen minutes Continue the operation
three successive nights, and perfect
cure ensues."

Warren county has large cave OF
great beauty known as Higginbotham
Cave. 1t is near Collins river, about
seven miles distant from McAlinnville,
and runs into Forest Peak. The cave
consists of numerous halls and grottos,
adorned and beauti6ed by incrustations
that dazzle beneath the blaze OF torches,
and presenting an appearance at once
wierd and unearthly. Some OF the
chambers are magnificent in their pro-
portions, one of them extending over an
area of seven acres and covered by
dome of solid limestone.
