MONEY IN MULEs:-J.' Is. Lyman.
Esq, an intelligeh' correspondent of the
New York Tribune, who is travelling in
the West, recently visited Edgar County,
Kentucky, and thus relates Dhow Mr.
s. II. Elliott, OF that County, is making
money out of nuits:
"1n 1865 he changed his stock and
became interested in mules. Now he
feeds one hundred and fifty of these ami
mails. When mule is weau.d lic will
give fifty dollars Cor fifty inches of height.
He. does not buy mules that are less
than fifty inches at waaning, for, these
he eau feed and care for till they are
fifteen hands high, and then they are
worth from 1926 to SITS EACH 1t takes
about eighteen months, and some $40
worth of hay and oats, to produce this
srowth.-That is to say, spend $50 for
your mule colt, and $40 for his keeping
and you have in eighteen months time
an article worth $3.50 Feeding as he
now does, one hundred and ffty. and
IN way to clear 800 on each animal"

Nothing Remains at Rest.

1t is fallacy to suppose there is any
such thing as rest to matter. There is
not particle in the univers, which is
not on the move, nor drop of fluid on
the globe that is perfectly quiesceut, not
fibre in the vegetable Kingdom in
state of inactivity. In animal bodies,
from monads to the complicated organ
sm of man, every part and parcel, even
in the solids, are necessarily moving
among themselves, and their component
elements never cease to act in accord
ance with that universal law till death
stops the machinery. Even then q new
series of movements commence ut that
eliminating point. Chemical dissolu-
tion of organic structures is but liber-
alton of molecules, the aggregation
OF which was necessary for corporeal
beginning and subsequent growth; and
they then dispersed to enter into new
relations and new forms, aud thus ono
nevcr-endng circle ofactiyity character
ICES the material universe.
Death is dissolution of the. union
that existed for limited period of what
is called life with organized matter
How that union commenced is as much
of Divine mystery as their separation,
They are distinct in nature and charac-
ter, although one c:nnot manifest itself
without the brain and nerves of the 9TH

Astronomy reveals the Astounding in
telligcncc that there are no fixed or sta
tionary bodies in the unsurveyed regions
of celestial space Even the fixed stars,
as they were once considered, pcrma-
nent landmarks in the heavens, are
coursing with undcfincd rapidity in the
train of countless globes of shining glory,
on circuit too distant to be followed
even by human imagination, in the
boundless' realms only known to that
God who controls the mighty whole.

Let Us Elevate Journalism.

1t is to be lamented that the profession
of journalism is not characterized by n
juster appreciation of the courtesies and
amenities of life. For many years past
if a great leader appears in its ranks,-
and there are many such-the fact is no
sooner demonstrated than the lesser
lights seem to become envious and unite
to pull him down even below the COM
mon level. If only fair means were al
ways employed in cffectipg such cen
summation, there would be infinitely
less to object to. But it is notorious that
! with large class in the editorial pro-
fession the end justifes tue means, and
Misrepresentation, often yilifcation, is
but too readily brought into requisition.
Now VIC would inculeate different code
of ethics for the editorial profession. We
would have each editor to "magnity his
oiice," not only when he comes to the
capitol to meet his brethren in the an
nual conve ntions, but all the year
round in all his discussions. We
would have the members of the Press
Association to so act towards their
brethren as to impress call the world
and the rest of mankind" with some lust
appreciation of the intellectual worth of
the members of "thc fourth estate"
That the journalists of the South EN-,
brace intellect of the highest order, and
above the average of that in the o.hc:
professions, no intelligent citizen will
pretend to deny. But instead of cul;iva-
ting the courtesy, dignity and lofty bear.
ing without which it is impossible to
favorably impress the community at
large, journalists too frequently seek to
unjustly disparage each other, aud some
times resort to the coarsest vilifoation
thus necessarily degrading, to some ox
tent. the whole Profession; aud that, too
while they lnpd to tho proportion OF
giants the men with multiplicity oi
words and paucity of ideas in other pro
fessions, who would impose their fancied
greatness upon the thoughtless in the
communities afflicted with their presence
Now all this is not only wrong in princi-
pie, but atrocious in practice. Let US
inaugurate higher standard of profes.
sional justice. Whatever the peculiari
ties or foibl IS of the individual mem bers
of the editorial profession, let them be
studiously ignored in public discussions
Let each one assert and maintain high
toned demeanor towards his brethren "a
courtesy and kindness that shall have
constant reference to the elevation oi
the profession. Instead of seeking to
disparagc the members Of our own pro,
stssion, e; US emulate that of the med
zeal faculty, which is ever uniting with
mother earth in hiding the fatal failings
of those who are most conspicuously
unworthy .-NushriWe Southern Press.

A SAD STORY.

Among savage clan
OF cannibalish people,
A missionary man
Set up his modest stecplc.
And there each day he would
Pursue his noble labors,
He told them to be good
And bade them love their ncighbors.
The canniba1s, with grins,
Gave ear to themes he treated,
They crossed their tawny shins,
And on their hams were seated.
And yet they were not lost
That nnssionary's labors.
He taught them to his cost
And badc them love their neighbors.
For one day, when for prayers
Those cannihals they met him,
They eaught him unawares-
They killed him and they ate him
They said they found him good
He'd practised what he taught them, =
And now they understood
The goodness he had brought them.
And when they'd filled cach nav,
They said, while they deplorcd him,
"Thcy'd loved him-live and raw
But. roasted. they adored him!'

For the Yorkville Enquirer.


Mr.. Editor AS doubts have been express
ed as to the extent Of the relief afforded by
the bankrupt act of 1867, and the several
amendments thereto, deem it proper to make
the following statement:
The amendment to the act, approved 10th
June, 1872, allows to the bankrupt all the
property exempted by the laws of each State
of force in 1871, in addition to the five hun
dred dollars worth of property allowed under
the original act.
This gives to each bankrupt, in this State,
two thousand dollars worth of property, to
wit: One thousand dollars worth of real
estate, and one thousand dollars worth of
personal estate. After the bankrupt has
been discharged this property becomes his ab-
solute estate to dispose of as he chooses, either
by sale, gift, devise, or otherwise.
1t:s not necessary, as has been supposed,
that the estate of the person applying shall
pay fifty per cent Of all his debts; but if the
estate which comes to the hands of the assignee
is sufficient to pay fifty per cent of his iadi-
vidual debts, contracted since 1st January,
1869, exclusive of the debts contracted before
that time, he is entitled to full discharge
from all his debts. If it is not sufficient still
he is discharged from all individual debts
contracted before that time, and from all his
security debts, whether contracted before or
after that time, leaving nothing to be paid
but his individual debts contracted after 1st
January, 1869.

ARE GREENBACKS TAXABLE {?

A McLanesboro Qllinois) correspondent of
the Enquirer, under date of July Sd, writes
as follows:
81 am subscriber of your interesting pa
per, and have been for years. have seen
published in the Enquirer the law concerning
greenbacks not being taxable. am taxed
here upon them. l have made wager with
the Judge of our County Court, that green
backs are not taxable. You will do me a
favor to publish the law again.
Respectfully, E. PLEsANTs.''
We take pleasure in complying with the
above request, because it is matter of pecu.
mary Importance to all of our subscribers
On the 30th of June, 1864, Congress enacted
law regarding the finances of the country
providing for loan, which said:
"And all bonds and Treasury notes and
other obligations of the United States shall
be exempted from taxation by or under State
or municipal authority"
This covers the whole ground A green
back is an obligation of the United States
and is, by the terms Of this statute, exempted
from all State and municipal taxation. They
are the peoples bonds, and as such, are recog
nized upon the statutes Yet until 1866, peo
pie, in their ignorance of law, listed green
backs for taxation. We having received oul
meagre insurance for an Office burned dowr
by fire, and being large sufferers by the con
fagration, resolved to avail ourselves Of oul
legal rights. Messrs. Faran & Mclean, pro
prietors of the Enquirer, declined to give il
their greenbacks, counting them as exempt
and a suit was accordingly brought by tn
County Treasurer. In that suit we were vic
torious, and it was judicially decided that W
were not liable This was the first case il
the United States, as we believe. Other
took it up, and it eventually found its way tt
the Supreme Court of the United States
There formal decision was rendered tina
greenbacks could not be taxed, any more tina
bonds, by State or municipal authority. !

money, it would have placed beyond posi-
bility Of becoming part of the State debt, at
least one-third (3) of the entire amount of
bonded debt reported by the treasurer.
Itappears to me that it is scarcely necessa-
ry to saw word in explanation Of increases
Of debt. All the money that has been receiv-
ed by sale or hypothecation of bonds, with
the exception of 100000, has been used in
rayments of debts and interests thereon against
the State, accumulated prior to 1st July, 1869,
up to which time no taxes had been collected.
Our misfortune has been, that sufficient taxes
we're not levied in one year to meet the ex-
penses of the most economically managed
State government in the United States, as the
collection of taxes for the past four years has
annually amounted to less than 81 900 ,000-a
smaller sum than most States collected yearly
for shool purposes alone.
I feel justified in assuring you that in the
future tax will be levied under the law re-
curing the levy of a tax to pay the interest
on the loan authorized, and that the money
so collected shall be devoted exclusively to
the payment ofthe interest on the public debt.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
