In commencing the example Of society
of Ohio ladies who have resolved to confine
themselves to home manufacture, in their
new dresses, the Providence Journal calls
attention to the fact, that in its vicinity there
are many men engaged in the production of
textile fabrics, and asks how many of their
wives and daughters ever wore an American
print. 1t declares that "tried by the law of
taste, printed calico is handsomer article
than an India shawl" The combination and
arrangement of color, the figures, the shades,
show more science and skill. The only thing
against them is their marvellous cheapness.
If prints were two dollars a yard, no womal
would rest quiet until she had dress of
them" The journal adds: SIT would be
easy to name hundred women, of social po-
sition and fashionable leadership, who by re-
solving to dress, for year, in American fab
RIGS, might give an impulse to industry and
production, that would be felt all over the
country
The same lecture might just as well apply
to men who will not learn that at present our
own factories are affording first-class goods at
much lower price Than an imported article
costs. If little OF the proftlse Qualifications
that welfare accustomed to indulge in respect
ing the American eagle, could be made prac-
ticai by advocating and patronizing our own
Industries, the nation would be vastly strong

TAXATION OF CHURCH PROPERTY. = The
Hartford Couramt in speaking of the expulsion
of the Jesuits frem Rome, goes on to consider
. the subject of the taxation of church property
as follows:
In this country we protect all religions alike
that is our democratic theory, but we do not
stop to consider that the theory IS uudemocrat-
ic. We attempt to protect churches by not
taxing them, doing for religion what we do for
education. We are so young people that we
only begin to see the evils of this system, in
the coming shadows of great accumulations of
wealth. There are two examples of it in New
York city; one is the swollen wealth of Trinity
church, and the other is the more enormous
possession IN lands and houses of the Catholic
archbishop. There is no limit to the accamula-
ton of either of these corporations.
We do not yet feel the oppression of this ac-
cumulated wealth and power as all the Europe
an nations in turn have felt them. But we can
see how undemocratic the exemption of taxa
tion of special bodies Island in cities we already
begin to recognize one reason of the high taxes
which we as individuals pay. Somebody has es-
tlmated that fourth, Tor is it a third?) of the
property of the city of Hartford is exempt
from taxation because it is in the possession of
religious or charitable bodies, or is used for ed
ucational purposes. If all this property was
taxed. the Individual taxes would be greatly
lightened. 1t may be said that as all are inter-
ested in religion, charity and education, the
burdens of them might as we'll be distributed in
this way. But this is an illusion. You may be
member of small religious corporation, and
your proportion of the taxes or it will be very
small. 1t certainly is unjust that You should be
compelled to help pay the taxes on other great
and wealthy religious corporations-whose tax
es are RENTED and cast upon you and all the
citizens of the town. 1t is best that everything
should stand on its own bottom, and show what
it costs

After speaking of its attractions as sum-
mer resort and the beanty of its location, he
continues:

DOM ladies' and gentlemen, to be the best.

SCHOOLS show that they are well trained at
H nome. me post-ofhee is perfect gem, built
from marble, clouded, and the basement a shade
darker than the blocks of the upper two sto-
ries, which have very graceful portico in
front.
The granite Custom House has a very mpos-
ing southern front, while its northern front is
much better than passable.
Ihe City Hall would be a majestic building
IN any city. 1t is attractive by its proportions
as viewed on the outside, while within it is
commodious and capacious quite up to the
meaning of grandeur 1t contains the city
othces, large hail and other rooms. The
mayor, fine appearing man, though young
looking for an Eastern city's head official, holds
control here, surrounded by bevy of city Off
GERS whose gray hairs will doubtless enable
them to give him the sagest counsel.
The churches of the city are numerous, large,
pride of any city. and they are well attended.
The high order of preaching, in most of them,
speaks well for the people.
There are to be found in the city all the ele-
ments or the potentialities, not only, but the
actual conditions for busy commercial mart,
or entrepot, and for delightful summer water
ing-place, where every class of persons can find
agreeable quarters, light expenses, aud every va
riety of entertainment, or rather recreation with
in, as it were, a stones throw. With the thor
ougn equipment of the new road, with good
cars through by daylight, at reasonable price,
Portland must double its population in few
years.

1t is fair to conclude from the tenor of the
dispatches, that the New York gentleman

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT
SARMIENTo.-On the 23d of August last an at
tempt was made to assassinate the President of
the Argentine Republic, Senior Sarmiento, a
gentleman well known in this country, through
his long residence in Washington. Happily
the assasslns failed in their murderous intent,
for, while aiming at the carriage, the blunder-
buss which one of them held burst, shattering
the rnfflan's hand, and giving time for the po-
lice to seize him and one of his accomplices.
1t is thought that the crime has some conncc-
ton with with the war in Entire Rios. The
assassins are Italians, who were hired by man
from the Branda Oriental to kill the President

Suggestive Figures.

Great Britain is doubtless somewhat anx-
ious from the fact that the United States,
one of the best customers of the manufact-
ured goods of that country, has, the past
year largely withdrawn its valuable patron
age. The London Times has also learned
the fact, that its figures to show how far this
falling off extends, will not be cheerful sta
tistics for the British producer. The Stats
tics give the amount of the principal classes
of British and Irish production exported dur
ing the first eight months of 1873 as COM
pared with the same period of 1872. A few
examples taken from the statistics of that
paper, will indicate not only the extent that
we have ceased to be patrons of British man
ufactories but also the progress the country
is making in the development of its own
manufacturing enterprises.
The figures for cotton 'piece-goods" for the
periods named are as follows:
