The Grant government Of Louisiana
(~Kcllogg.) caused it TO be tolegraphed
ovcr the North that taxes were being
paid freely over his State, but it seems
the story was entirely false, 1t also
turned out that Kellogg lied when he
said, and caused it TO be telcgraphcd
over the country, that the interest
money on the State debt was in hand
and would be paid on and after the lst
Monday in June. 1t also turns out
that Kellogg lied, ut the instigation Of
Grant, when be alleged his need, called
upon the Federal government for
troops and got them, though needless,
for the mere asking. Such are the

THE BEST PRESENT FOR A
CHRISTMAS GIFT
rs A
WHEELER e. WILSON
Family Sewing Machine.

The reputation of this Machine stands so high
in all parts of the world as scarcely to need
comment
They have been awarded the highest premi-
Machines in this country snd ii 4E HByS Sewing
They do all kinds of family work, from the
heaviest beaver and felt to the finest silks, that
other machines will not stitch
They work easily rapidly, noiselessly, and
arc not liable to get out of order.
Washington, D. c., April 80, 1872.
Having bought and used four of your Wheel
or s. Wilson Sewing Machines for the last sew
enteen years in my family, and to the entire
satisfaction and pleasure of every men, Der there
of, we therefore cordially unite, from sense of
duty, in recommending it to the public gener-
ally as being the best, the easiest running, most
desirable and most durable Sewing Machine we
have ever known.
NV two little daughters when they were
so small that their feet, when sitting on chair,
would not reach the treadle, and were conse-
uuently obliged to stand on one foot and run
the machine with the other, which they could
and did do right along, with perfect ease and
comfort Both of them to-day own one, and to
part with them would be like parting with
dear friend.
I bought my Wheeler s. Wilson seventeen
years ago, and during that time it has never
needed the least repairs, and is just rs good to-
day, to all appearances, as it was when L irst
bought it.

JEWISH LONGEVITY. There are very many
curious facts related with regard to the Jewish
race; many, no doubt, are true, and some GER
tainly have no other foundation than fancy.
Prof. Stowe, in his remarka BILE interesting course
OF lectures on the subject, delivered some years
ago in this city, gave as careful a summary OF
the truth with regard TO this peculiar people
as has ever been made, and statlstlcan IN Lon
don has recently published some quite remark
able statements about their physical condition,
based upon carefully collected records. From
these it appears that Jewish blood contains little
or no scrofula. The average life Of the Jew in
London is forty ntuc years, while Of the Christian
it is only thirty seven years. OF given num-
Der of Christians, only oue-quarter will, as
general rule, live to be sixty years, while among
Jews onequarter lived to be at least seventy
one. Among children fourteen per ct. OF the
Christian population die between one year and
five years of age whie only ten per ct. OF the
Jewish children. Finally, in Prussia it requires
fifty-one years for the Christian population to
double itself, and only forty-o years for the
jewish If we arc not mistaken, Professor
Stowe declared that the Jews had remained OF
about the same total number ever since they
became historic. This proof of their greater
average longevity and greater relative increase
would seem to furnish material for contradlc-
tion.-Hortjord Courunt.
