An Extraordinary Feat.

The North China News tells the fol
lowing: An extraordinary feat has been
performed by a Buddhist priest, with the
view Of raising money to build temple
at Soochow, whence the man had come
on begging expedition. He found
people indifferent to his holy object,
and very unwilling to part with their
dollars. With a devotion more than
worthy of the cause, he resolved to stir
up some interest and cause money TO
flow in by an extraordinary expedient.
He announced among the Chinese that
he would allow himself to be locked Up
in wooden box for seven days, during
which period he would remaiL in an
upright position, and without food or
sleep.
On Wednesday afternoon he was ac-
cordingly placed in cage about p feet
wide and 81 feet high, just sufficiently
large to admit him standing upright -
The bottom OF the cage was studded
with nails, so that his feet should have
space only Letween the nails sufficient
for them to rest on, and Z couple of
slight bars in front formed rest for
MS arms. The native public were in
vited to prove the genuine character Of
the modification by locking the good
man themselves if they pleased. and
about thirty people brought locks of
different kinds and secured the door as
many tmes over. The cage was close
one, with few open bars near the bot
tom for the admission of air.
1t WAS placed in a joss-room in
Hoopeh road, passing in and out of
which crowd of people might be seen
day and night, during the seven days,
religious exercises being engaged in the
while, by the priests. The devotee eli
dnred his painful incarceration with re
markable fortitude, the only relief af-
lorded him being an occasional glass OF
water, and he emerged looking to all
appearance little the worse. On OK.
animation, bis pulse was found to beat
Ok, ana was steady, while his skin was
moist though hot After his release,
the cage was broken up and sold piece
meal to the Chinese, every nail bring
ing more than its weight in silver. The
desired result of calling forth liberia
subscriptions was also attained.

Railroad,

EDS. SPIRIT. In your last issue I at
tempted to give a synopsis of what is
known as the Boesel railroad bill. then
proposed to give my views Of the law.
am well satisfied that under this law is
our only chance to get railroad and that
opposition to voting an assessment. and
making road under the provisions Of
that law, amounts to opposition to arsil-
road in this county, and refusal to make
assessments, either by county or wnship,
defeats all railroad projects in this coun-
ty, and settles US down in our old groove.
What is the Boesel bill?
AS shown in my former communica-
ton, it authorizes counties ortownships
to levy FIVE per cent and no more. This
is payable with interest in twenty years
Not more than one per cent and interest
in any one year. The bonds issued can
not be used until the work is done. The
money voted will be expended in the
county or township where voted before it
has to be paid. A five per cent levy in
this county would raise about $3.50, 900,
or from $4,000 to S2S,000 to the town
ship, according to the amount of taxable
property therein.
1t is well known that the property in
this county is not valued at more than
one-half its real value that a levy Of five
per cent on the tax duplicate is not more
than two and one-half per cent on the
real value, SO that person worth 81, 600
would pay S25 with interest in twenty
years; person worth $4,000 would pay
$3.50 in the same time. 1t is not The in
tention to pay any part of the principal
for ten years, " hen the road would he fin
ished and put on the tax duplicate at from
$4,000 to $4,000 per mile, and thus in
crease the property for taxation and re
duce the levy.
Before any part of the five per cent
would be levied there will be revalua-
tion of the real estate, and the enhanced
value Of real estate in the neighborhood
of the road would relieve from taxation
TO some extent the real estate more re-
mote. Is there an individual i'll the
coulty worth $1,000 that would not be
benefited S25 by road along the river

Why Don't Won Publish Their
NaIaaeSf

That is the question Radicals ask us
when we assert that there are GREELEY
Republicans in every township in Mon:
roe County.
We will tell them why We don't pub
lish their names:
If we did. there would be q set OF
men set upon them to devil, CHATS the
best word we know in this connection,
and worry them from now to the elec
ton. From honest convictions these
men have decided that change, from
every species of corruption, to an hon
est administration of the affairs of the
Government, is necessary; and that
HORACE GREELEY, as President, would
carry out their views of Honesty and
Reform.
