How FARMING Ays.-Ed. Voter:
/ herewith give you statement of
the income and expenses Of my farm
for one year. The income IL for the
year 1870. The corn was raised and
fed to stock, and the stock sold. The
expenses are for the year 1871:
Farm 300 acres, timber 100;
stock and implements, value SO, $1,000
Total income from all sources l,0S6.G3
Total expenses OF labor and
living, including groceries,
clothing and all............... 069.5A
Clear profits. ............. s 117.09
Paid to Churches, in all....... 1880
S 200
And our p. e. thinks we don't pay
enough. And now ] have got my
living for one year, and 500. So you
see ] have not lost anything at farm
ing the past year. And If taxes were
down in proportion to what we have
to take for our produce, think Farm
ers could still live and meet their OBJ
legations; but with taxes last year at
$l63, and this $3.50, Farmers land will
have to be sold to pay them.
When produce went up to War pri.
ces, officers said they could not live
on their salaries, and their salaries
were raiscd--and it was right. Now
produce is down to what 1t was before
the War; and now we want the ex-
pensos put down so that Farmers can
live. V. ROBERTS.

TERRIFIC COMBAT WITH MosQuIro
A tuneful mosquito has had his from
bone reconstructed, and begins the new
season in animated style. a Newark
man received call the other day from
his long lost brother, who lives in Cali
iornia. lie assigned the spare room to
him and bidding him an affectionate
goodnight, retired to rest, only to have
his slumbers disturbed soon after by an
incipient earthquake up stairs. Hastily
donning his trowsers, he proceeded to the
long lost brothers. room, from whence the
uproar came. When the unbrided broth
er went to bed he had thrown open his
window to draw untrammeled breath, and
preserve the idea Of his native freedom.
The mosquito scented foreign produce
from afar, whctted up his knife and fork
upon the stone window sill, and humming
a short grace before meat, took a chair
upon the Caiforuians nose, and, tucking
his napkin under his chin, set to work
The sensitive foreigner said an uugcntle
thing about the musical bird Of night and
springing from his couch, struck light
to meet his adversary face to face. No
sooner had he deserted MIN than with
uplifted pillow, he smote upon the wall
where sat the patient insect, who went
skimmipg away and left the spot bare.
Two more unsuccessful attempts upon the
life exasperatcd the long lost
brother, and the scene became exciting.
Blow followed blow in quick succession,
as the irate Californian danced in fantas-
tic pursuit around the ROOM Just as he |
had taken n careful aim at the artlul |
dodger, who sat upon panel of the door
enjoying the sport, the proprietor Of the
popped his head in and received
the whack intended for the mosquito full
in the face. He lay down Immediately
and called for the neighbors. When out
side rcinforcements appeared an entrance
was affected into the room, and fearful
scene of ruin met the gaze of the intrud-
ers. The only whole remaining article
was The bedstead upon which sat the
lisconsolate Californian, picking the frag-
nents of the looking glass out of his bare
feet, and saying terrible things. He was
nconsolablc, and the next day he left
or California, without offering to pay for
he broken furniture.

NEWSPAPER DIscUssIoNs.-lt is, in any
case, high time that something like a
statement of the present condition of the
case should be laid before the public. AT
time. not long ago, when the details and
situation Of the negotiation on the Ala.
bama Claims were most loudly and exten-
sively discussed in this country, not more
than three copies Of the chief document
just then in point were in the United
States, and those were in the hands Of
persons who said nothing about it. This
fact may indicate the quantity of real
knowledge Of the subject which has been
used in writing about it.
The fairness with which this writing
has been done is about as great as the
knowledge. The question has too often
been dealt with indeed, on both sides q
the water, not so much for the sake Of
ascertaining the truth about it, as for
the sake of damaging somebody with it
just as a man in n fury filings at his ad.
versary whatever lies next his hand. In
England the Disraelitish opposition have
made it their crowbar wherewith to en-
deavor to pry out Mr.. Gladstone from
office; their exegesis consisting in what
was substantially a claim that Mr.. Glad
stones ministry would compromise the
honor of England in dealing with the
case. Mr.. Gladstone, of course, replied
by talking still bigger about the honor of
England and the absurdity Of the Amer
lean claims. But not one of the speech
es in Parliament has weighed the facts
and struck a Just balance.
In the United States,the discussion has
been just as obviously mere battle be-
tween ins and outs. A leading newspa-
per, seeking to promote the personal in-
terests of its chief editor as presidential
candidate by personal attack on Presi.
dent Grant and his Secretary of State.
has published day after day what they
call "display heads" and editorial state
ments, which, if not absolute falsi6ca-
tions, were absolute assumptions; which
were contradicted by the next days news
besides being upjusti6able aspersions on
the honor and the common sense of re.
spectacle citizens Of the United States.
Such unfriendly and unfair assaults can
not, in the nature of the case, promote
calm discussion nor sound information ou
either side; and the actual merits Of the
question at issue are disregarded, for II G
sake of making it useful projectile fcl
political cannonading. But,as Legitimate
warfare, this procedure ranks with tie
method Of Mesha, king of Moab, who mur
dered his own son to beat the king of Israel

How Much We Drink,

1t is to be regretted that figures do not
lie when they record the extent of liquor
drinking in this country. Under the re-
turns made by the census it appears that in
addition to the G3, PA ,G27 gallons of home
made spirits, and I, ,259, 74O barrels of fer
mented liquors on which taxes were paid
in 1871, were imported of wine 9, 7SS, ,9S3
gallons and 431, 562 dozen bottles; of spir-
its, 1923, 326 gallons and 123, ,GG7 dozen bot
ties; and of malt liquors, S32, 431 gallons
1t appears, furthermore, that the consum-
ers put about $500, 900, 900 every year into
the hands of the dealers. The proportion
of those lcenoed to sell liquor is about one
in every $50 of population, and those who
have figured very closely claim that every
eighty drinkers support dyinking establish
ment, and consume AGO gallons of spirits,
so gallons of wine, and 1900 of beer, an
nually. The State of New York has %, TAG
licensed sellers, or one for every $50 of its
population while one in sixty to one in 80
of its people are engaged in these liquor
stores. The city of New York has 7,161
licensed sellers of drink, or one of 40 of
the population, while one in 80 to one in 20
are engaged in drink selling Massachu-
sets in 1871 had 1922 of its people licensed
to sell, and one in every S5 engaged in sell
ing drink. Pennsylvania had II, ,431
licensed, or one to every 24O. Ohio had u,
377 licensed, or one in every 24O. Illinois
had $3.50 licensed, or one in every 260.
Maine had ,O53, or one in 600. As to the
other States, the range is between 100 to
200 and one in 600.

Interesting Discoveries.

The Moabite expedition, according
to a report recently read before the
British Association, discovered on the
borders of the desert east and southeast
from Heshbon, the ruins of a magnifi-
cent palace in an excellent state of
preservation. Aquadrangular wall of
freestone, SIS feet on each side, in
closes a brick palace. On the other
side of the only entrance is an archi
tectural front of carved work, 180 feet
long, and II feet high. This orna-
mental front displays animals, birds,
flowers and men, chiseled with great
delicacy, and eight chambers with
vaulted roofs still remain. This place
is believed to have been erected about
the end of the sixth century. The
basin of the Dead Sea was also ex-
plored, and it was discovered that while
the western side is a desert of mari,
destitute of vegetation, the eastern
side is well supplied with water and
is covered with small plants and trees.
Palm trees grow luxuriantly toward
the northern extremity of the Dead
Sea.

The French Capital-Return
of its Former Prosperity.

The work of restoring all the palaces and
buildings destroyed by the Commune, and
repairing the damages inflicted by the war,
is steadily progressing The walls Of the
palaces all stood firm, and even the Hotel
de Vile will soon show no traces of the de-
stroyer. Thousands of workmen are every
where engaged in the work of reconstruc-
ton, and the Column Vendome will soon
commence to rise again, the base of which
is carefully rallied in and made ready for
sustaining the restored column. Public
buildings are also being erected in various
parts of the city.
The column of July, which was damaged
by the mob, is scaffolded and thronged with
worlmen from base to statue, and the dam
age done to the triumphal arch by German
shells has been repaired. New statuary is
being erected in the Palace de la Concorde,
the Bois de Boulogne is resuming its
former attractions, and the Champs Elysees
was never more bright and gay than at the
present time.

We, the People, Did ii.

[From the N. Y. Evening Post, Republican.
Our tribunal of last resort, the
great court of the people, has render
ed it's Judgment in the case of Grant
VS.. Greeley. It has done so in a
manner beftting its dignity, and with
a result that justifes the almost uni
versal confidence in its discernment,
its integrity, and its wisdom. In
spite of the common place, and some
times the responsiveness of the details,
there is majestic and even sublime
aspect in the general effect. That
thirty millions of people should come
together of their own accord, on an
appointed day, to determine, by their
voices, questions of self-control that
have been hotly debated for months
and perhaps for years, and that they
should do it so calmly, without sin
gle attempt at disorganization, with
out disorder, without violence of any
kind, is a spectacle alike worthy of
admiration and wonder. Disap-
pointed candidates for Office, and Gin
dependent journalists" who allow
their personal interests to paralyze
every sentiment of self-respect and
every particle of good sense that they
ever possessed, may see in it only the
workings of fraud and money-pur-
chase, but for us it has nobler sig
nifcance. We are, by nature and
conviction, earnest believers in the
Democratic theory of government,
but we confess that the practice of it
by the American people fills us with
an ever renewed confidence and hope.
If we are pleased with the manner
of the present election, we are scarce
ly less so with its results. It ex-
presses once more the invincible de-
termination of the people to maintain
the integrity of the nation in all its
flllness and strength. Having few
years since given the lives of their
children and their treasures to the
vindication of it against disorganiz-
ing theories, and traitorous out
breaks, they do not now mean to sur
render the grand conquest of the war
to the Vaccinations of politicians and
domestic enemies. What Grant
meant to the common mind was the
Union, which he had done so much
to preserve in his soldierly career,
and which in spite of some short
comings and mistakes, he was still
laboring to perfect and strengthen in
his civil administration. The con-
soidation, the harmony, the organic
supremacy of the Union, was the first
great issue of the campaign, which
over-rode all others, and deserves its
particular prominence.
