The cause OF this republican retreat from Ehzondo,

so certain, was the very same famous Cure who re-

on the previous day he attacked fortified

bridge Of Enderlaza, on the high ROAD from
Trun to Vera. The little cannon he had soon
smashed the palisades calculated to protect the
republicans only from rife Shots and the carDine-

.
Last season / sold this Har-
row with 1-2ineh teeth They
gave good satisfaction where
the ground was free from
stone, but on ground having
some stone, as many of our
farms have, the teeth were
found to be too light. This
season / have them with
heavier teeth, and have no
doubt of their working to- en-
tire satisfaction. The teeth
are round tempered steel;
owing to the shape and back
ward slant Of the teeth, there
is no useless friction, and the
draft is much less than the
common Harrow. 1t will
thoroughly pulverize and stir
the soil, never clogging, and
having a sweep of nine feet.
A farmer can do twice the
amount of work in a day he
can with the common Harrow
and do it easier and very
much better. Any RESPONSE

on trial and if it does not do

Death of oakes Ames.


Oakes Ames, died at his home il
North Easton, Massachusetts.the place
of his birth, on the 9th inst, aged six.
ty-nine years and four months. Hi:
disease was paralysis. superindueed
no doubt, by the tremendous excite.
ment which the Credit Mobilier in.
vestigation brought upon him. He
had been in usual health until a few
days ago. To ordinary business ex-
elements he was accustomed. Rather.
he was accustomed to an extraordinary
pressure of business. Before he EN-.
barked with his brother Oliver in the
Union Pacific Railroad enterprise, he
had amassed a fortune of about six
millions of dollars in legitimate bust
ness. He was the most extensive
mahnfacfurer OF shovels and agTicul-
tural machinery of New England
He had immense establishments in
Worcester, in Groton junction and ii,
Easton, Massachusetts, in each OF
which several hundred men were EN-
ployed. He was Charge powerfully
built man, andy thoughhis only educ
cation was obiained in the Public
Schools, his intellect was of a com
manding sort. lie grasped great en-
terprises with ease Exceedingly de-
liberate in aif his movements, pos4
sessed of both caution and courage,
he was fitted BY nature, for a greal
business career; and Itswas not strange
that lie becameJone of the wealthiest
inanufacinrers OF New England. IL
is but just to, say that up to, the time
of bis connection with the Credit Meai
bilier he enjoyed the implicit conti-
dence OF his neighbors and constitu-
ents, who elected him to the Thirty
eighth, Thirty-ninth,, Eortielh, Forty
first and second, Congresses. And
even to the day of his death, the peo-i
pie of the town IN which be was born,
and lived and died, did not abandon
their faith in their townsman. They
still look at the best side OF the con-
duet Of their represenitatiye, insisting
that he put his lilnmense capital in an,
enterprise from which the capital OF
the world shrank.
Oakes Ames died only a few weeks
after his name was bitter in the
mouths of all his eountrymen.4 lie
leaves an nnsnviable hotoriefy. He
speedily follows Brooks, his, fellow
suffer before the bar of the House and
publiciopinion. Let us hope that his
average honesty in a life covering al
most three score years and ten will
satisfy dhis friends and not furnish
food Tor the scorn of his enemies. 7sfe

.esThs slavery OF protection.


The Hon. David A. Wells, in reply
ing to q writer who had attacked his
position on the tariff, gives the follow
ing as his creed:
aI believe that no nation or people
ever found the way to great and
abiding prosperity, through a system
of continued and exorbitant taxation.
| believe that that government which
interferes the least with the people
and their pursuits, and which takes,
in the way of the smallest amount
consistent with its legislative require
ments, is the one that governs best.
believe that the highest right of prop
erty is the right to exchange it unob
strnctively for other property; and
that any system OF law which declares
that A shall trade with B, but shall
not trade with G, can hardly be dis
tinguished from slavery upon any
principle. / believe that a man who
confesses that he can't get an honest
living by his own exertions and there
fore calls upon the community to tax
themselves to help support him, is q
pauper in every sense of the word ;
and that the time has come when we
should stop talking about pauper labor
in Europe, and see if we can't get
along without pauper labor at home.
] believe that the system OF protection
as now taught and carried out in the
United States, is second only in viii
lainy to the system of American sla-
very, as itsexisied prior TO the rebel-
lion. e..ss. .55
