Jack Linton on Failing.

"FIailing," said Jack, taking up a
moralizing strain, when the laugh
was over, "don't pay. The last
school I,went to before I came here
was full Of no end Of failing. There
gets to be a sort of sameness about it
after awhile. Confound that old ru-
err! l. used to get it aboue every
day-three or four. whaclis Oh iel-

was numb; and it always made NE
mad, or else l didn't care. There is
not quite so much samoness about Q
raw.hide. for sometimes you catch it
on your legs and sometimes on your
shoulders, but there gets to be sort
of sameness about that too. But

An Unjust Tax.

The general tax provides that Gall
real and personal property in this 5
State + ** +
shall be subject to taxation" There
is no warrant, either in the organic
law or the statutes, for taxing the
same property twice nor is there any
shadow of authority for taxing what
does not exist One CT these things
the State .contrives TO do. H.
AS the law stands, real estate in
South tCaroliria rgis ia xed at its full
galne, whether it is encumbered or
n OF. This is the. grieyance. OFhe
nominal owner Of mortgaged real es-
tate pays taxes upon the full value of
thp property, and the holder of the
bond aud mortgage pays taxes upon
the amount which the mortgage COW
ers. In this way the same property
is taxed twice; first, as real estate,
and second, as personal property
There is, ip practice, u greater wrong
than this. A person who bnys a
piece Of real estate for s22. 900, paying
one-foutth in cash and sccuri' G the
balance by bond and mortgage, is
not, in law or in fact, the owner of
that property, until the last cent Of
tho sum for which it was mortgagcd
is paid. Tho nominal owner can sell
the property subject to the mortgage;
in the case given he sells an interest
o; $4,000 in property worth $4,000,
and mortgagedtor $4,000. The debt
Of $4,000 due by the mortgagor is
not taxable property lti q. a.liability,
not thing in possession. Yet tho
State compels the purchaser of the
resi- estate to pay taxes upon what he.

This grossly unjust plan is not

adopted to prevent the m9I1$asseA
property from avoiding taxation.

the mortgagee pays ta%r.. uLon the
identical property upon whlrh, in toe
form of real estate, the mortgaSor
hts already paid the tax.
The equitable plan clearl y is to en-
empt the real estate from taxation to
the extent Of the mortgages upon it;
or else to exempt ,lhc, bonds and
mortgage from taxation. Which is
tho better course? 1T is falrcst that
tho real estate should 60 free. Tbe
mortgage is u tangible possession,
bearing interest. Bnt: acknowledged
properly, nominally owned by the
mcrtgagor,. is the proper'yIof the
mortgagcc, and ills q great rong to
compel the mortgagor to pay taxes
upon what is not his. -, ,.Uf1,
The enactment Of a law providing
that, in returning real estate for taxa
Won, the amount Of the mortgages
may be dcductcd'from the gross va lue
would be measure Of public Justice
and practical reform. and we trust
that the members Of the Legislature
will give the matter their, immediate
attention.. The whole State is inter
cstcd in it. and there is no danger
that the bonds and mortgages would
escape taxation, as the mortgago'
might be required to report, in making
his return, the names Of the holders
of the mortgages upon his property
These would pay no moro than they
now pay, and the mortgagor of rea
estate would cease to be taxed upol
what he does not possess.-Charlesto'

How JouN CnINAMAN Cor A BED
TO HIMsELF.-The following incident
is reported to have occurred on rail,
road recently not q thousand miles
from Augusta: '.
There were two seats in the cor
turned 50 as to face each other. One
was occupied By lady, and tho other
by a. Chinamen. Evidently the lady
did not relish the presence of the
Chinamau. She explained to him
that she wished to take the cushions
and their frames and place them
lengthwise across from seat to seat.
John said "all rightee," and got out
in the aisle, and she proceeded to lie
down on the bed thus improvised,
with her head resting on her yalise.
She supposed that the Chinaman
would take the hint that the lady
wanted to rest in the space usually
occupied by four persons, But 10 IN
at once proceeded to crawl in and
stretched himself by, her side, with
his head on a little bnndle Of his own.
The Chinese arc an initiative race,
and like to do as others do, you know.
The lady, as soon as she discovered
that she had bed-fellow. got. up a
little wildly, and started for the next
car, to the infinite amuscm ent of the
passengers, who had been watching
the scene with some interest. John
took no notice of the, fun he had
but went 10 sleep with the
whole bed to himself. .4,iy;lD'i &" "a.

Thoughts on a New Baby.
by A LAD,

Yes, there's another of 'cm up
stairs now. / know it, because pa
told me l must be quiet and musn't
play ball, nor ask Willie Smart to
come and play leap-frog with mo-
Then there's cross nurse, that's al
ways scolding me for getting in her
way, no matter where ] get. Be-
sides, Miss Gadall was here to. day
and patted mo on tho back, saying
my nose was another degree out OF
joint; but | knew better, for this is
the thru time she has told me so, and
II is no more out of joint than it ever
was. She's hateful, gogglc-cyed old
maid-thats what sho is.
4 saw H., too. It's got q little.
round, red head, without any hsir,
with great deep wrinkles instead of
eyes, and when il cries it opens its
mouth as though it meant to swallow
itself. Pa helped me upon the side of
the bed, and told me to kiss my pret-
ty little sister; and when | wouldn't
and called it horrid ugly thing, he
said | was a naughty boy, and then
the nurse shook me, and said ought
to be ashamed. | didn't get to kiss
my ma at all. | knew better than TO
try it, for once, when another baby
came, climbed up the bed, and put
my arms around her neck, bugged
and kissed her, but all the time ! had
my knee on tho baby's head; so
was whipped and put in my crib with
out any supper, because | didn't know
IL was there.
Little Annie thinks it's nice to have
new sister, but she was the baby
before and don't know anything about
it. can remember long, long ago,
ma used to call me her "sweet little
darling" and pa jumped mo on his
foot and said / was "6ne fellow !"
but then Tom came and all my pret-
ty toys we're given to him, cause be
was the baby, and | was cuffed and
scolded by everybody, 'cept grandma,
and she's good to me yet, though
there's beer two new ones given. /
wonder where all the babies comes
from Ma says the Lord sends them;
| wish he wouldn't send any more to
our house. We've got more'n enough
now. 1t might be nice for them if
they could stay little all the time, but
they have to grow bigger, and they
amt no better off than the rest of us.
| rather think If | was baby I'd
ask the Lord to send me where I'd
not grow any bigger, then I'd have
nothing TO do but to lie on my back
and chaw my toes, and ] would have
folks say l was the "darlingest, cum
ningest little creature they ever laid
eyes on"

Grain Statistics,
The imports Of grain at Buffalo last

The imports of grain at Buffalo last
year were larger than in any pre-
ceding year, excepting 1871. For a
long time there has been steady and
marked decline in the receipt Of -four,
imports during last year having been
769,36S barrels, against 1,24l ,969 in
1871, and l,453,9l3 barrels in the
previous year, the decrease having
been noticeable for several past years.
But Buffalo is not alone in this de-
cline, since the receipts at Western
centres have been parallel with those
at Buffalo. Chicago, Toledo, Detroit,
Milwaukee and Cleveland had an ag-
gregate of receipts in 1869 of over
100000 barrels; one year afterwards
they lowered to 4,250,000 10 1871 to
100000, and in 1872 to 3,500,000.-
At present, and this may explain this
decline, larger amount of wheat is
raised in the Western States than for
merly there was. Lumber rcceiv-
cd last year amounted to 2l2,-
946,0OO as opposed to 200,Gl6,00O in
the preceding year. TIE grain re-
ceipts at Buffalo for 1872 were o..
S54 900 bushels, and the total receipts
at the lake ports--Chicago, Detroit,
Milwaukee, Toledo, Cleveland and
Duluth, were flour being estimated
as whcat-l43, ,l00,6SS bushels. The
measurement Of the cereals which
pass through Buffalo shows nearly
two-thirds Of the whole receipts of al
the great grain centres of the North
west

CoAL.-Prof. Ansted mentions, says
the CornhiH Magazine, that n quarter
Of million Of square miles Of the
earth's surface are covered with sand.
stone and shale OF the carboniierous
period, among which coal is buried /;
and this coal is for the most part nc
ccssible. Now, there are upwards OF
3,000, 900 square yards of surface in n
square mile, and assuming an average
total thickness Of 10 yards for the
distinct seams of each coal field, we
find for the total number Of cubic
yards of available coal the enormous
figure of 100000, 100000. As o
cubic yard Of coal weighs ton, we
say that there are in round numbers
1000, 900 100000 Of tons of coal avail.
able for the use of the human raco,---
If we take the average number Of
human beings living at each moment
during the next $500 years to be
2,0O0,000,000, and the annual con-
sumption for all purposes TO DO nt the
average rate OF ! ton per human be-
ing, the supply would last for that
enormous period. We may add in
confirmation that q valuable coal mine
has been discovered about twenty five
miles from Virginia, Montana, much
needed land" in that part Of the
country.

Fit Collars to Horses Shoulders.

1t is very important TO have col
lar 6t nicely and snugly to the shoul.
ders of the horse. 1t enables him 10
work with deal more ease, and to
employ great deal more strength
1t prevents CALLING and wounding, as
the friction is avoided. Collars are so
made, or should be so made, as to
throw the chief source on the lower
part Of the shoulder The horse can
apply but little strength on tho upper
part, and for this reason breast collars
are coming greatly into vogue, as tho
strength is exerted on the lower part
of tho shoulder. To mako a new col.

collar should be purchased Of the
proper size; just before putting it on

adapt itself to the shoulder, and should

The workmen engaged in sinking
vertical shaft in the Black Diamond
coal mine, in Mount Diablo, ono day
this week, came upon live frog i'm.
bedded in the solid sandstone us feet
below the surface.
The form of the reptile was as per-
fectly preserved in the rock rs If
moulded in soft clay. On being re-
leased from its captivity of untold
ages tho frog exhibited almost the
same degree Examination as its species
of last years growth, and evidently
realized the boon Of liberty with a
sense of gratitude. After a time,
however, it showed symptoms Of gen
eral debility, and in twelve hours after
its release it expired from the effects
of old age. This venerable reptile
hoped upon the virgin earth and
croakcd his joyful paeans far back in
