Such was the inquiry of the traveller, as
he passed an unusually wcll-inishcd re-

style of the sashcs, the clcarness Of the

the neatncss Of the columns and balustcrS

THE BOND CASE.

Comptrolle- General Hoge, in his
return to the writ to compel him to
levy tax to pay the interest on the
bonded debt of the State, in general
terms denies that it is his duty to
ascertain and determined the rate
of taxation F.; argues that the judg-
ment of the court, if had would be
vain and nugatory; and declares
that the bonds upon which the pcti-
tion is based were not lawfully
hypothecatcd and sold, and that a
large portion Of them were issued
without warrant Of law and to the
amount of $7.791,70O, arc not a
valid debt of the State. 1t is asked,
therefore, that the writ do not issue
until and investigation shall first be

aggregate public debt {of $15,851,

A meeting was held in And H'O. Il

The balloon trip to Europe is at last to
be attempted. Professor John Wise and
W: II. Donaldson, two experienced and
well known aronants, propose to take the
balloon voyage of which so much has
been ,said and so little done. The Boston
board of Aldermen have responded to a
pstition f. ON item, and made an arpro-
priation Of three thp,oand dollars to aid
them in fitting out their aerial ship, in
which they will start from the Common
in that city on the Fourth ofJuly. The
gentlemen intend taking two other
p ,rsons with them, and through Che c.
operation of the Franklin Institute in
Philadelphia, expect to secure the seryl-
ces of two scientific men. Professor Wise
bases his reason for undertaking this
pcriIious voyage on the following thco:
rics At certain height above the earth
there is continuous air current or tide
setting from west to cast, caused mainly
by the centrifugal force generated by the
revolution of the earth on its axis, and
that this current moves ut the rate ol
from sixty to one hundred miles per
hour. Thus he expects to reach England
in two days, at the most, from the time
Of starting.

The Air Line Railroad is doing much
for this place already, anu property is

in every part Of the city. The winter
here was iu some respects the coolest and
dnmpcst and cloudicst VIC ever had. 1t
killed the fix trees, Which it has never
done before, and nothing but their roots
arc alive. Tie fruit is all gone straw
berries were seriously damaged and the
yield not one third. The wheat crop has
since the rains and warm weather, co Lc
ont and promises well. The area in
wheat is not half what it was, as every
ono is anxious to put rs much laud i'll
cotton as they can.
In long AMI short, in round and square,
It is cotton, cotton, cotton, everywhere"
1t was once corn fields and cotton
patches everywhere. 1t is now cotton
6ctlS and corn patches everywhere. An
acre of cotton with commercial fertilizers
will yiad three times as much money as
in corn or wheat. Labor Of all kinds is
in great demand and wages have risen
twenty five per cent and are still rising.
The colored people are very prosperous
here and well behaved, have good
churches and schools and are evidently
greatly improving.

BIZ MARoARET Z. sANosTER.
To-day, where low they sleep in death,
Who once were srsSsIn fight
We bring the roses fragrant breath,
The lilies, stainless white.
Nor ask our hearts who wore the blue,
Nor who the faded gray,
Since battles sweat Of crimson dew,
All hate hath washed Away.
Awake once more the mart! j strain
That fed our souls with trust,
In old heroic days Of pain,
Ere swords had gathered rust;
The music will not break their rest,
Whose ordered columns lie,
Grim folded hands on silent breast,
Beneath the sunlit sky.
Give pause TO eager life Of trade,
An hon let bargains cease;
From valors fervest pulse was made
The golden tide Of Peace;
Let manhood's heart and childhoods hand,
And woman's lovliest bloom,
Through all the wide untroubled land
Adorn the soldiers tomb.
All! North and South, n richer art
Hath sowr their graves with flowers,
For Natures throbbing motherheart
Hath quicker beat than ours;
Her blades ofgrass, her cloth OF gold,
Her starry wreaths Of spray,
With tender grace the slumbering fold,
This Decoration Day.
She spreads as soft her daisied turf
On mounds wljhouta name,
by mountain SIDE, near ocean surf,
As DER the couch Of fame;
Her lingering touch In blossom falls
Above the brave unknown"
Who answer not when glory calls,
And yet are Freedoms own.
So where to-day they sleep In death,
Who once were brave In fight,
We bring the roses fragrant breath,
The lilies stainless white,
Nor ask our hearts who wore the blue,
Nor who the faded gray,
Since battles sweat Of crimson dew
Hath washed all hate away.

of the debt, though ustute iinanciers, like
Wells and others, showed that much of this
decrease was a sham; but now, that Bout
