pendent Of the Springfield Republican says of
the papers fighting the denomination Of Judge
Poland "The only papers that oppose Po-
lands denomination are the Standard Of
Woodstock, and the 81. Johnsbury Farmer.
The former is earnest enough, but has only
small circulation and no influence The latter
has no heart in the contest, and is only pursu-
ing an hereditary policy because 1t sees no i'm
mediate means Of getting out of it without
fatal loss Of character and circulation. The
latter, though large for so young q paper, does
not compensate for tho want of advertising
patronage, Withheld from it by the St. Johns
bury merchants on account of its support OF
the grangers. The publisher hoped in getting
rid of its former editor to gradually drop the
grangers and work up his advertising BUSH
ness, but circumstances have so far been too
strong for him, and though he berates the
farmers movement privately, be fears to aban-
don ii, lest his subscription list should 20 with

has in the hands of its enemies, and such feeble
support from the press, there does not seem to
be a chance to Gust the dignifed gentleman in

State Finances.

Elsewhere will be found the transactions
Of the State Treasurer's office for the past
fiscal year, as well as statement Of the
public debt at the present time. The ex-
hibit is one to which we point with just
feeling of pride. From comparison Of
this statement with that of the previous
year, it will be observed that the public
debt has been largely reduced, and fur
Their inspection discloses the fact that

which will probably never be redeemed,
but the interest on which will be paid year

tural Colloge-tbere is sufficient funds in
the treasury to wipe out every dollar of
the States indebtedness, and leave in the
l58,l55l7. This sum would Of course
be insufficient TO meet the current expenses
Of the ensuing year, but is enough to war
rant reduction Of five per cent each year
for the next biennial in the rate Of taxation,
and insure speedy wiping out Of the debt.

ner in which both these State officials have
discharged the responsible duties Of their
office. The most perfect system and order
is observable in both offices and their work
is conducted in an intelligent, honest and
economical manner. 1t will be observed
that the State Treasurer has included in the
receipts Of this year the sum Of sl4 ,653.3l
derived from interest received upon the
State balances deposited in banks, and tb,

reports too where the amount so entered
would naturally be expected to be mucl
larger than at present.

The New York papers give tho details
of the most revolving case Of "baby farm.
ing" that has yet come to light, showing in
strong colors what terrible results are prone
to follow youthful indiscretion and folly.
In West Twenty sixth street is an estab.
lishmeut kept by Mrs. Doran, where un.
fortunate unmarried females are cared for
during their periods Of trouble. The pro-
prietress Of the institution furnishes the
necessary hospital accommodations, for
which she charges good round prices, and
the infants brought into the world are
farmed out to women outside, who make q
speciality of "taking care" of such waifs,
and by means Of soothing syrup aud other
drugs, the earthly career Of the little ones
is cut as short as possible without actual
butchery. A dead infant was found in one
Of these places, an unwholesome cellar,
where several infants had previously died,
and it was emaeiated to the last degree,
showing also plain evidence Of i'll treat
ment aud insufficient nourishment. In
fact, the empty bottles scattered around
indicated that its only pabulum bad been
the deadly soothing syrup. Should baby
be so fortunate as 10 survive the treatment,
it is usually sold for small sum, and 1t

The Asiatic Famine Abating.

The terrible famine in East India is now
rapidly abating, and the latest accounts
lead to the hope that what seemed for a
time an unmitigatcd evil, may eventually
be turned TO a permanent good. The iruc.
tifying rains which fell the last Of May and
FIRST weeks in June, have insured immunity
from short crops next year, and already
somewhat relieved present necessities. The
requisite aid to the sufferers is not now
nearly as great as it was four weeks since,
and the prospects are that in few months
all assistance will be unnecessary. The
British Government has won great popu-
larity 10 the famine stricken districts by
by the rapid and effective manner iu which
it combatcd aud vabquished the threatened
disaster But few deaths have occurred
from starvation, while the number Of per.
sons dependent upon aid from the govern.
mont has at no time been less than two aud
a half millions, and at one time numbered
four millions Hundreds Of thousands Of
tons Of rice have been shipped by rail as
far as possible, and then transferred by
carts aud oxen to the interior At last ac.
counts 10000 carts we're yen employed in
convey ing this DEMONSTRATING food to the
districts still threatened with starya-
ton. Though all danger is now aycrtcd,
the disastrous loss Of life which must
have resulted but for the prompt aud
efficient aid Of the Government, has
taught the native rulers some very
profitable lessons. The construction Of
new irrigating canals upon an ex'en.
sive scale is planned, which, when in op.
Grafton, must Prevent the destructive
droughts in the future which have coca
stoned so much alarm and peril in the past
The necessity Of less conservative modes Of
transportation than carts and oxen has ako
been apparent, and from G,000 to $1,000
miles Of railways into the interior districts
are to be constructed az soon as possible, in
order to facilitate more rapid communica.

The platform Of the Alabama Democ-
racy has the genuine old-fashioned ring to
it. Two.thirds OF it is devoted to an up.
peal to the prejudices against the negro
race, and the absurd assumption that the
purpose of the civil rights bill is to force
social equality between whites and negroes,
and the other third is made up Of denun-
citation in good set terms of the opposing
party aud its management Of affairs 10 the
State, There is not an idea in it affecting
any important matter of public policy.
The appeal to "white people" to "unite and
act together in self-defence and for the
preservation of white civilization" would
be amusing if it did not give evidence oil
wicked prejudices and bitter determine.
ton to perpetuate them even to a war Of
races.

The Connecticut Legislature adjourned
on Saturday, and like its Democratic twin
brother of New Hampshire, ii left very
unpleasant odor behind it, The session has
been unusually long and mainly devoted
to the election Of the Bourbon Bill Eaton
to the Senate, and to various local schemes
for the enlargement Of Democratic spells,
Its neighbor, the Springfield Republican,
remarked that " for a reform Legislature,
IT has been bad failure, and, though q
good deal Of its legislation was Intended to
confirm the Democrats 10 power, its record
will go far to counterbplance any possible
advantage of this Sort All the expert

The Brooklyn Eagle devotes several
columns to an effort to establish the fact
that insanity has existed in both branches
Of Theodore Tilton's family, and also that
there are very strong reasons for the be-
lief that Theodore himself is not "just
right" Certainly there is much 10 the re-
cent course Of Tilton which is inexplicable
on any other hypothesis than that his miad
is sadly disordered; but nothing would now
SO eiIectually place the fact Of his insanity
beyond question as the prompt and satif.
factory demonstration of the falsity Of BIZ
charges against Mr.. Beecher.

The Massachusetts Legislature nasso

The Massachusetts Legislature passed
law for the protection of animals, the
stringency of which will make glad the
heart of Bergh. For over driving or tor
turing an animal the limit of penalty is a
years imprisonment, or $3.50 fne; while
railroads must not confne animals in cars
more than twenty-eight hours on a stretch,
and if at the end of this period their own
ers do not provide drink aud relreshment
for them, they are subject to a lno of from
500 to $500, The word "animal" is
made to include birds, and all the brute
creation, in fact. The fines assessed 60 to
the society causing the arrest, and the new
law will doubtless stir into activity those
whose mission it is to protect the brutes.

The Chairman Of the Indiana State
Democratic Central Committee has issued
an address in which he virtually admits
that the prospects of his party in that State
are rather dark The Chicago Tribune
has been making figures TO show that the
Democrats can easily secure a majority Of
the Congressman, but this address says it
will be necessary to have 10000 majority
in the State to obtain such result. 1t ad-
mits that the Republicans are well organ
lied and prepared for warm fight. From
the general tone Of the address, it is evil
dent that the Democracy Of Indiana are
fighting hopeless battle.

The enchanted park in Colorado is beauti-
ful valley about mile in length, walled in
on either side by perpendicular walls from two
hundred to three hundred feet in hight, There
is but one entrance TO the enchanted spot, and
that is by very rugged and dangerous path
way, and the footmen experienced great diff
Guilty in the descent. Upon reaching the val
ley one could hear the rustling Of the wind
through lofty pines In the cliffs above sounding
like the roar Of some everlasting hurricane,
while the grass beneath the feet lay as calm
and still as death. Not even the slightest
breath Of air could be felt. Everything was 30
still that a person standing at the lower part Of
the valley could distinctly comprehend persons
speaking at the upper end.

"A French physician is cut with long
dissertation on the advantages of groaning
and crying in general, and especially during
operations. He contends that groaning and
crying are the two grand operations by
which nature allays anguish that those
patients who give way to their natural
feelings more speedily recover from acct
dents and operations than those who sup
pose il unworthy for man to betray such
symptoms Of cowardice as to either cry or
groan. He tells Of man who reduced his
pulse from l26 to GO in the course Of two
hours by giving vent to his emotions. If
people feel at all unhappy about anything
lot them go to their rooms aud comfort
themselves with loud boohoo, and they
will feel a hundred per cent. better after
ward. In accordance with the above, the
crying of children should not be too great
ly discouraged.
