by which the present tax of two aud half
per cent. on their income in excess of that
amount is imposed, expires the present year
by its own limitation. Only one more pay

THE mistake into which some of the pur-
chasers of the first mortgage bonds of the Port
land & Ogdensburg railroad have fallen is very
curious Several holders of small amounts of
these securities have imagined that their value
is likely to be impaired by the existing contro-
versy touching a loan of credit to the road
Now while it is very easy to see how, in the
improbable event of the city's giving further
aid to the enterprise, these bonds will largely
appreciate it is difficult to see how they are to
be unfavorably affected by the failure of that
magnificent but unpopular scheme. Another
impression, which some of the purchasers abb
surdly declare that they have received from
communications published in these columns, is
that holders of the bonds in this city have some
different additional security from that on
which others rely. 1t is needless for us to say
that our correspondents have not intended to
convey such an impression.

CALIFoRyIA's BIGGEsT NuGGEr-How
| much we owe to California Her precious
metals have enriched thousands of our fel-
low-citizens, and have proved the main
stay of America in times of national Pc
cuniery embarrassment. Her mining in
dnstres have given employment to myri-
ads of mechanics and laborers. She is the
land of promise to the fortune-seeker.
But the Golden State has lately sent us a
new treasure. Her last nugget is DR..
WALKER's CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BIrTERs.
The health-giving principles contained in
this curative are more precious boon than
gold. In all affections of the liver and
stomach, remittent and intermittent fe-
vers, rheumatism, and pulmonary dis
eases, it may be relied upon. As blood
depurent and invigorant it is unequaled,
purifying the circulation and infusing new
vigor into the debilitated frame. 1t con-
quers that most unyieldinr of all com
plaints-dyspepsia, and We know of no
other remedy that can accomplish this.
Its entire freedom from alcoholic spirit,
which retards and neutralizes the effect of
any medicine, and which forms the basis
of many of the pseudo bitters and tones,
doubly enhances its value to the sick.
The papers of the United States vie with
one another in doing honor to Dr. Walker.
We, too, add our voice, and say all honor
to the man whose science and skill have
enabled him to draw from the vegetable
kingdom such balsam for human suffer-

Fashion Nnics.

Young ladies now have the neck.tie
mania.
.Coral.handled parasols are now seen
on the fashionable promcnades,
Indoor dresses are made with very
long trains aud innumerablo flouneos.

which have reigned so long,
Jet is considerably used for trimming
the new Spring and Summer bonnets.
Summer dresses of white material are
handsomely bound in black aud crimson,
Mexican blue is the new color. Our
objection to it IL that 1t is altogether too
gaudy.
The gauly Tichborne scarfs have been
introduced here as IN London, but.hay
not attained the general popularity that
was anticipated.
Sleeveless sacques with cnpes arc con-
sldered very stylish, and are frequently
made of black cashmere. Guipure lace
is the appropriate trimming.
Generally the new Spring bonnets
prove to be very becoming. They are
adroit combinations Of the cottage and
gypsy bonnets, with very narrow crowns
and narrow head pieces.
Marie Antoineite fchus of crepe de
chine of all shades of color, and edged
with fringe, are more in vogue than ever
with Easter toilettes. SO, too, are the
Dubarry pauvres of Auted muslin, with
faille or MORE ribbon.
One of the most conspicuous features
OF the seasons trimming is the Alsatian
bow-a very large bow of the simplest
Al
resting against ITS high crown. 1t is
generally made of wide ribbon, with the
ends passing around the crown, caught
together low behind with n knot or
smaller bow, and handsomely finished.

A RAT SroRY,-An attache of the OF
tawa Post Office, in Canada, recently met
with singular accident. 1t appears
that the young man alluded to sleeps in
the post office, and during the night he
woke up with n sensation which might
be experienced by person having a
muscular dentist endeavoring to extract
his nose with an overgrown turn-screw.
AT first he thought it was n dream, but
on opening his eyes he discovered to his
amazement an enormous rat which had
fastened its teeth on his nasal protruber-
ance, and with every apparent intention
of making good square meal from the
same. Of course the foe retreated pre-
cipitately, leaving blood trickling from
the wound. Shortly afterward, however.
the bloodthirsty little brute returned to
the attack, when the whole post Office
turned out and by well organized adj
vance along the line, the enemy's quar-
tiers were carried and the malicious brute
sent to kingdom come.

FRENCH METHOD or SAVING GREEN
FODDER. Prof. Whitney read paper
ON method OF preserving green fodder
for winter use in France. The fodder.
which III this case is the leaves of the
beet root there grown extensively for
sugar, is moistened with solution of
hydrochloric acid and allowed to drain
for two or three days, during which time
the pits are dug two or three feet deep.
In these pits the wilted fodder is beaten
down, that air may be 'vcluded, and
closely packed with earth. The fodder
is taken out after lapse of some months
perfectly fresh, and when fed t. mich
cows is said to improve their condition
and yield an improved quality of but
ter. One pound and half of acid is
added to sufficient water to moisten
thoroughly one hundred pounds of fod-
der. The method is applicable to corn
fodder, clover, or the pulp of beet-roots
used for sugar.
PIAzzAs. - The plainest farmhouse
should have its broad piazza. To no 9th
or persons is the luxury so desirable as to
n farmer and his family. When the
heat OF summers day has passed, and
the cool shades of evening begin to rem
der all outdoors an inviting place of
resort, the mechanic saIlies forth from
his close shop, the lawyer from his mus
ty Office, the minister from his study,
the banker from his counting groom, to
enjoy with their wives an evening call
or walk, or drive, and to them, as to
the weary seamstress, it seems like
glorious rest. While the farmer who
has been bronzing and blistering all dav
IN the sun, and to his wife who has for
u large share Of it been broiling over
hot cookstove, the thought of walk
would prove anything but refreshing and
comforting. TO him, when he would
rest at will, and surrounded by the love-
~ evening sights and sounds of nature,
refresh his mind with the news of the
day, or the pleasant chat of his assem-
bled family, the broad piazza becomes
an lnexhaustible, almost an indispensa
bic source of pleasure and comfort.

ABOUT Conn. DR. Louvel's new meth
Cd OF preserving corn, according TO the
report made to the Academy of Science
III Paris, Is calculated to remove all diff
cultles IN the way OF an indefinite preser-
vation of grain. BE employs a cylinGri-
cal vessel of sheet iron, ending in two
hemispheres. This kind of movable
granary is placed upright on supports
at n height which renders both the
stowage and extraction of corn easy.
The upper hemisphere has IN aperture
with cover which admits of it's being
Theoretically closed; not far from it n
stop-cock, and next to this manometer.
The lower hemisphere has only a single
opening for letting out the corn. Avac-
uum is produced by means of an air
pump. When the air inside is reduced
to pressure Of three or four inches
of mecury, all the insects are sure TO be
killed, and every other cause Of DIES. ruc.
ton be completely removed.

How Quarrels Begin.

"What would you do with him 90
asked his brother.
"Ride him ; that's what I'd do.
"All day long ?"
"1es, from morning till night.
You'd have to let me hide him some

"Why would 1? You'd have no right
in him if he was mine"
"Father would make you let me have
him part Of the time"
Ono, he wouldn't"
My children" said the mother, who
now saw that they were beginning to get
angry with one another, "let me tell
you OF quarrel between two boys no
bigger nor older than you are. They
were going along road, talking in a
pleasant way, when one of them said,
4 wish | owned all the pasture land in

The Fight with the Cherokees.

The Fort Smith Nm Era, after giving
full particulars of the late fight in the
Indian country as detailed by Deputy
Marshal Seavey, who. with one other,
was tho only one who escaped unhnrt,
says: a courier arrived at the
marshals Office here with letter from
Charles Il, Robinson in charge OF the
party sent out. dated Flint Court House,
stating that the rescuing party had ar
rived, and found the whole country de-
serted. The Proctor family had left the
previous day ut q o'clock in the evening
with forty-six well.armed men, taking
all their wounded with them into the
mountains. Pursuit with handful Of
men was ont of the question. The letter
further states that it was n dreadful at
fair, both sides fighting like bulldogs.
There were thirteen killed and twelve
wounded. 1t seems that the approach
Of the United States MafshGl's force was
well known Mt the Court House, and pre-
partitions for resistance were made, the
court having adjourned on the morning
OF the fight from the Court House, which
stands on open ground, to n school house
about half II mile away, and where il is
quite closely built up, All the people
there We're armed, including the jury.
Even Proctor, the murderer, had Spcn-
Ger rifle and two revolvers OF the mar
shal's party eight were killed, including
Deputy Marshal Owens, and two severe
~ wounded OF the assailants four We're
killed, including deputy sheriff and
Juror, and six were wounded. Besides
these two men were found dead half
mile from the Court House, and it is sni-
posed they were killed in wantonness 10y
