GRUMPY CoUETY-the home of the arch
renudiator, Col. A. S. CoLYAR--is the
only county, we believe, which has yet
expressed itself in favor of a reduction OF
tie State tax from forty cents to twenty.
This means, or at least amounts, to non
payment of the State debt. Considering
the number of paid attorneys and bought
ND politicians by the railroads to advo-
cate this doctrine, it is gratifying that
such a small portion of the people have
been gulled by it. Forty cents pays the
animal interest and defrays the curr eni
| expenses of the Government, and keeps
m our credit Twenty cents would
plunge us again into virtual bankruptcy
reduce our bonds from almost par to
mere song, and paralyze every enter
prise in-the State. The interest is com
PEELED to be paid, and the more we pa,
every year the less we will have to pay. If
tax of twenty cents on the hundred do
lars is levied, instead of forty cents,
only postpones the payment of the othe
twenty cents. But the Democratic part
will not commit suicide in such FOOLS
manner. A few politicians are trying
work upon the prejudices of the people
: but when the latter meet in convenno
!. they will construct platform upon Wnie
d all good citizens can stand. The Dem
v cratic party does not wish to do otherwis
/ bnt if it were to be so blind and foolish,
= defeat would be assured. We are in tay
!. Of retreachmenti in every department whe
it il can be done with safety. The expense
IS of our law courts, and the salaries an
peruuisites of Office holders might
equaIized and reduced; and some ofhc
abolished altogether. This would bril-
. positive and permanent relief to the pr
d pie, while a reduction of the State t
" would bring evil and evil only.

was enc of these apish ariStocrats:
and the other occupants of that noisy
dwelling are now in mourning for Joe.
who recently died after about two
months illness. OF all the members
of the ape tribe, the chimpanezee is
probably the most tractable, and of all
chimpanzecs Joe was perhaps the best
tempered fellow that ever existed. The
readiness he always exhibited to learn
any new trick the ingenuity of
his keeper could devise was rcmarka-
bic; and the good temper he always
displayed when asked to perform them
for the benefit of visitors was no less
surprising. lie cmulated the achieve
ments both of Blondin and Leotard
with equal success. and seemed eSpeci-
ally proud of himself when he was or
dcred to go through the series of GYM
na>tic exercises which embraced the
fcat> that have made the names of
those men known all the world over.
Joe had the sense to know that it was
dangerous to play with fire; whether
or not he was one of the proverbial
"burnt children who "drcad the
fire." lie never attempted to- explore
the mysteries of the open fireplace,
which was generally furnished, for
his accommodation. with Il bright fire;
not that he was devoid of curiosity,
for he would seriously examine the
texture of his visitors coats and
dresses. and make point of discover
ing whether the protlcred hand which
WAS held forth for him to shake was
capable of bearing good hard
squeeze. Joe was something of a
critic of boots, too, or else he was in
tercStcd in knowing whether any of
his developed relations suffered for
their improved state by the intliction
of corns on the feet. If Il nut were
present, d to him he would not crack
it i'll the usual way by the application
of dental force. but would place it un-
der the donors foot. and assist the pro-
cess 10y administering Il sharp blow
with his fist on the toes of his unSuS-
pccting visitor. lie always seemed de-
vOtedly attached to his keeper. and
when shut upcloSe in his room would
summon him by repeated knocks at
the door. In the evening, when the
time for bidding him " good night -"
approached. he used frequently to 60
into quite IA frenzy of grief, tearing his
lair, rolling on the floor. and scream
ing out like Il bad-tempered, spoiled
baby. with extra strong lungs. New
ertheleSs, he was really ygood-tempercd,
and was never known to maliciously
attempt To hurt any one. lie would
show his visitors to the door with the
utmost politcneSS, turning the handle
and opening the door without assist
ancc. and shaking hands with his de-
parting guests. De mo2tuiS nil niSi
bonum: but joe had one fault, and we
cannot help saving we hope no pick
pockets were ever among JOc'S ia

them Il lesson in the pilterng line of
business which would have borne
