REBUILT CHICAGO CELEBRATED YESTERDAY
the anniversary Of its terrible fire, which hap
pened just year ago. The details of that
calamity are yet SO fresh in the minds Of the
people that the notes Of thankfulness and
rejoicing over the new city rising from the
ashes of the old will be hailed all over
the world with heartfelt sympathy for
the Queen of the West and her daunt-
less children. The magnificent building
of the new Chamber of Commerce was
thrown open with appropriate ceremonies; the
people appeared in their holiday habit, and
the journals Of the city came out in new and
enlarged dresses ALSO This, indeed, is some
thing to be grateful for. Civilization rushed
with one accord to the relief Of the city in its
hour Of agony but the greatest triumph Of all
for humanity is that which shows in the rising
structures on every side how nobly, deter
minedly and undismayed tho sufferers applied
the words of Longfellow -
Trust not the future, howe'er pleasant;
Let the dead past bury Its dead.

The GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS IN CONSTANT
NopLE-A Russian Grand Duke has arrived in
the city of Constantine. What does it mean?
many persons are asking. 1t is the first visit
of the kind made by Russian Prince since
the Crimean war. 1t seems to indicate peace.
Peace is the echo of the conference of the EN-
perors at Berlin. It is well that the Sultan
should be assured that the Berlin Conference
meant no harm to Turkey. All this is well
but somehow our faith in princes is not great.
Friendly visits have too often preceded serious
war. What with the settlement of the Geneva
Court of Arbitration and the peaceful results
of the imperial conference, there is really some
good reason to hope that an era Of peace has
dawned upon the world. This visit Of the
Russian Prince to Cons.antinople is in good
time and in good taste.

viii It need man with the gift Of prophecy TO
foretell the results of the election? The whirl-
wind Of reform which swept over city and
State last November was surprise to all par
ties, but in this instance the same effects from
the same causes viii be no surprise 10 any
party.
The truth is that the republicans in con-
junction with the ~ m party Of the Commit
tee of Seventy. and with democratic diver
sion under O. Brien, count upon carrying the
city in November. while from the the demoral-
izations of the opposition elements resulting
from these metropolitan discords these Octo-
Der elections, these Bourbon democrats and
other obstructions 10 Greeley and Brown, and
Cox and Herman. the party of the national
administration now confidently count upon
carrying the State for Grant and Wilson, and
Dix and Tremain. And of all the discourag-
ing conditions of the situation, city and State,
TO the opposition alliance. the doubtful posi-
tion of Tammany at this juncture is the
worst and in attempting to serve two mas
ters, or to sit upon two stools-Tweed and
city reform -Tammany must fall to the ground.
The Empire State for November has become
doubtful, and New York city itself, through the
folly of Tammany, may be lost to the demo-
cratic party on the 9th of November.

Oar state Tar.

Comptroller Hopkins has issued a n;rcuIsr,
announcing that the Board Of Equalization Of
Taxes have fixed the sum TO be raised NV tar
in the State for 1872 at $l9, $50, ,8S2 30. tho
levy being at the very high rate Of 81 mills.
This rate is high beyond precedent in the his
tory of the State of New York. the highest
ever known before being in 1870. when it
was computed at 41-156 mills. In 1871 it
was 1920 mills This heavy taxation for
1872 is made necessary by the deficiency Of six
and half million dollars, by which sum tho
Legislature of 1870 and 1871 exceeded in appro-
priations and expenditures the amount of the
States revenue for those years. TO cover
this deficit calls for an addition of 81 mills to
the levy for this year, which aside from that
would be 81 mills, fraction less than in 1871.
and ii mills less than in 1870. by an act Of
last Winter's Legislature it was proposed to take
vote Of the people this Fall upon an amend
ment to the constitution creating this six anda
halt million deficiency in the budgets of 1870
and1S7l bonded debt, payable in three install
ments atfour, eight and twelve years. Careful
lawyers pronounced this proposition unconsti-
tutional, because our fundamental law pre-
scribes that only one proposition for an amend
ment to the constitution shall be submitted to
the people at any one general election and
few days after the passage of this law relative to
the debt the Legislature enacted that at the
November election the vote shall be taken on
an amendment extending the term of the Com
mission of Appeals. The latest act stands; SO
the former must fall. For that reason our
taxes for this year are increased by about fifty
per cent.

BRITISH CABINET CALCULATIONS FOR PARLrA-

reference TO the subject Of the Geneva settle

feet which the insertion Of the sum awarded to

unknown expense of $3.50, 900 on Her Majesty

not live OH the same amount of land

enough for any man. We got more

We need more labor in Vermont than
we have had. Like Mr.. Warden, he

all that was needed was reasonable ell

LINSEED OIL CAKE, OIL CAKE, OIL
MEAL.-The seed of flax, called linsced,
is valuable for the oil expressed from it,
and which forms the basis of our best
common paints. Vast quantities are
annually consumed, the seed being part
ly derived from this country, hut chiefly
from the East Indies. The seed is ground
then heated and subjected to enormous
pressure, which frees it from its oil, and
leaves it in hard, rough cakes. some
what less than an inch III thickness.
This is the linsecd oil-cakc, or oil cake,
of commerce, and most of that made in
this country is shipped to England 1t
is of high nutritivc value, and the ma
nurc of animals fed upon it is very rich.
1t is laxative i'll its action upon the
bowels, if used in large quantities, yet
may be fed freely without fear of putting
sheep or cattle off their feed; on this
account it is well to mix it with the feed
of both cattle and sheep. For horses
nothing is superior to it as an Alternative
diet, if fed in small quantities, say Il
pint three times Il day. 1t gives Il smooth
coat, and lOosens the bowels. Fed tn
beeves, it should he mixed with Indian
meal i'll the proportion of one part oil
meal to two parts Indian meal. Fed to
sheep, the cake is usually broken up
into a coarse powder, no Jumps being
larger than the end of ones finger. The
secretion of milk is greatly promoted by
it, and if not fed in too large quantities,
no foreign flavor OF oiliness is impaired
to the milk. 1t should always he fed
with bran, corn meal, or some other
provender, about in the proportions
above named. Its nutritive value, COM
