wish kc would mike up his mind, mn,
For don't care much longer to wait,
I'm sure have limited quito strongly ~,
That I thought of changing my state;
For sweetheart he's really too backward,
I can't bring him out though try; Z
own that hos very good tempered,
But then he's so drcadfully shy
When Ispcak about love and n cottage,
He gives mo look of surprise; 3
And if but hint at n marriages;
He bushes quite up 10 his eyes;
can't mako him jealous-Ive tried it
And't no use my being unkind,
For that's not the way am certain,
To get him 10 mako up his mind.
I've, sung him love sonnels by dozens,
I'veworked him both slippers and hose,
And we've walked by moonlight together
Yet he never attempts 10 propose
You must really ask his intention,
Or some other beau must find;
For indeed won't terry much longer
Fortone who can't make UP his mind.

THE BLUE AND THE GRAY.-A short time
since, the southern telegraph reporters cited
as proof of the harmony in that section the
formation of a society of ex-Union and ex-
confederate soldiers, to be known as the
"Order Of Blue and Gray" At first
glance the organization seemed to us an en-
inently proper one--and were it formed to
promote good feeling and loyalty, such it
would undoubtedly prove--but fuller ac-
counts of the organization show it to possess
some very Objectionable features. 1t re-
quires concessions from loyal soldiers incon-
sistent with proper self-respect. What
these are may be inferred from Washing
ton dispatch, which states that one section
of the constitution of the order is as follows !:
Each encampment shall have two banners,
one of the stars and stripes and one of the
stars and bars, to be used on parade or pub
lie occasions by the encampment, the stars
and bars to be borne by soldier or sailor
late of the United States army or navy, and
the stars and stripes to be borne by an ex-
soldier or sailor of the confederate states"
Members of the order of the Grand Army of
the Republic in Washington are greatly in
censed and well they may be, that any Union
soldier should unite himself with an organi.
zation the object of which is to honor the
defunct stars and bars with the same respect
and generation as the stars and stripes.

GOVERNOR KELLOGG SPEAKs.-Governor
Kellogg's address to the people of the United
States is a strong document. He shows that
the democratic legislatures of Louisiana in
1860, 1866, and 1867, composed exclusively
of white men, Mr. AicEnery being an inhu-
entail member, made appropriations exceed
ing seventeen millions Of dollars, and collected
only three millions, three hundred thousand
dollars in taxes during that time, leaving
deficit ofSl3.750.55i. Governor Warmouth's
administration cost for 1865, 1869, 1870,
1871, and 1872, sl037S745 Governor Kel-
logg expended in 1873 and 1874, s2.726.379.
At the same rate during the next two years,
his administration would cause an outlay of
sj45275s while his predecessors admins
tration cost nearly twice that amount, and
the democrats rioted in the public funds to
the amount of sl7.000.000. New Orleans
has debt of S2300O.00O, almost all incurred
under democratic rule, SO much for the
financial aspect Of the Louisiana question.
With regard to the popular aspect, Governor
Kellogg gives good reasons for his belief that
he had majority Of the legal votes at the
election two years ago. lie is prepared to
show before any competent tribunal that a
portion Of the returns upon which McEnery
bases his claims are forgeries manufactured
in New Orleans. With respect to the pres
ent election law, he says it is substantially
the same as that passed during the last adj
ministration in the interest of the conserva,
tive citizens of the state.

THE New POSTAL LAw.-Reports from
Washington say that the postal officials are
busy in devising means for carrying out the
act of Congress in relation to the prepay
ment of postage on newspapers and periodi-
Gals mailed from the office of publication,
which goes into effect the first of January,
1875 This law gives wide discretion to the
Postmaster-General in all respects, save as to
the mode of payment, which is required to
be by a special adhesive stamp, to be de
vised and furnished by the Postmaster-Gen-
eral, which shall be affixed 70 such matter or
to the sack containing the same, or upon
memorandum of such mailing, or otherwise,
as the Postmaster-General may from time TO
time provide by the regulation. 1t is evil
dent that the law did not contemplate the
stamping of each paper, as it provides they
shall be weighed in bulk, and payment of
postage made per pound; neither can stamps
be affixed to the bag, as in most cases other
mail matter goes therein. The most feasible
method of carrying out the law, it is said,
appears to the department TO be the use of
receipt books and stubs, the receipt TO be
torn off and given to the publisher, and the
stub, after the necessary memorandum is
made, TO be stamped with the requisite stamp
or stamps, and retained by the postmaster

PAUrERIsM IN NEW YoRK.-There are
now in the different county poor and aims
houses of New York state, between fifteen
and sixteen thousand permanent paupers--
paupers who may be depended upon to stay,
and whose number, as given, is independent
of the many Migrants and other INDECENT per-
sons who are found now in this poor-house
and now in that, as they drift about through
the state. 1t is the intention of the board,
through their committee, to subject each one
Of these unfortunates to an examination
thorough enough TO define with great accu-
racy, in the majority of instances, what it
was in the paupers themselves, in the cir
cumstances of their lives or in their ancestry,
that prevented them from being self-support-
ing. With this end in view, all the poor
houses in the state will be visited in turn,
and data gathered with as little delay as
possible. In the smaller counties the COM
mittee will be able to procure all the statistics
themselves, but in the larger ones such labor
would involve more time and attention than
they could bestow upon it, and they will,
therefore, call TO their assistance the attend
ing physicians and other trustworthy officers
Of the institutions, all Of whom will be care
fully instructed in regard to the method to
be pursued

The Auditors Report, Just issued from
the press, is the first in Importance and in
terest, rs it is the financial report Of the
state. The balance in the treasury, August
|, 1879, including the sinking fund, was
$500, 530l6; and at the end Of two years,
August |, 1874, the balance was siO5,sl5.65
excess at the last date, i2,2s5i9. During
the same time the funds received have been
from the ordinary sources only, except
s250O received from registered loan, whereas
Che sum Of sl56,OO0 Of the funded debt was
redeemed-net debt redeemed, si53.500. To
this last sum add the excess of balance in
the treasury on the first of August last,
sl2,2S549 and we find the state treasury, on
the first day Of August last, stood better
than it did at the beginning of the financial
term by the sum Of sl95,7s549.
The total liabilities of the state, including
the funded debt, amounted ON the first Of
August last, to $685., S3O4s; and the assets

Fashionable timber BoxEs-Now we
have the destruction by fire of another of
those finder boxes built for the punishment
of pleasure seekers at fashionable summer
resorts. The hotel keepers at Saratoga,
Long Branch and similar watering places
insist ON erecting monstrous wooden struc-
lures, divided pinto inconvenient, crampeds
up cells, into which they pack their victims
during the dog days, and when fire kndles
in one Of them, away goes the whole build
ing like bundle of shaviugs. The list Of
such conhagrations is a long one, and at
present it closes with the Grand hotel at
Saratoga, which follows closely on the heels
of the burning Of the Atlantic Block at Long
Branch, When will common sense teach
people to build good brick hotels at water
ing places, with Christian accommodation
for the guests, and to protect themselves
against this sudden wholesale destruction of
property This hotel was burned on
Wednesday last The building was insured
for something like S25000O, and the furni-
ture for S65O00. As the season has been
rather poor one, a grave suspicion exists
as to the origin of the fire. .l

CmoAGo's ISsuRANcE.-- The insurance
business has passed beyond the stage where
it can afford to write every risk II can lay
hands on. and gobble upthe premiums with
out regard to the losses. The board of UNI
derwriters has demanded Of Chicago certain
precautions against fire, in default of which
it gave notice that the companies it repre-
sented would take no more risks in that city,
Chicago at first jauntily said We don't care,
There are insurance companies enough in
the world But IL has also got TO be true
that insured parties look more to soundness
than TO rates, and the companies that could
pay losses were just the ones that wouldn't
run the risk Of them in Chicago. Accord
ingly Chicago came down, and Is putting in
more water mains and buying more engines.

ABOUT NEWSPAPERS. - When Benjamin
Franklin started his little paper in Philadel-
phia, about one hundred and fifty years ago
there were already three other papers on the
continent, and these were thought to be suf-
fcient for the intellectual needs Of the coun.
try. The change wrought in newspaper
publishing in one hundred and fifty years
may be seen from some statistics from the
census bureau at Washington. The number
of papers now published is; Daily five hun
dred and seventyfour, tri-weekly one hun
dred and six, semi-weekly one hundred
and fifteen, weekly four thousand two hun.
dred and seventy, semi-monthly ninety-six,
monthly six hundred and twenty-one, bi.
monthly thirteen, quarterly forty nine Total
Ave thousand eight hundred and forty.fve
This gives an average of one TO about six
thousand five hundred Of the population
OF these papers, four thousand three hun
bred are of a political character.

appear to be gentlemen as well as marksmen,
They have displayed not a particle Of the

they have been treated here, and the highest
admiration for the skill Of their successful
opponents Some Of our college oarsmeu

STATE ELECTIoSs.-The states which
continue to hold annual and congressional
elections in October are Ohio, Indiana, Iowa,
South Carolina, and West Virginia, all oc-
curing on the 18th, except West Virginia,
on the 23d Forty-three members of con
gress in all win be chosen, so that the Octo-
Der elections are still very important The
Ohio delegation now stands thirteen repubi-
cans to seven opposition, one of the latter
being liberal. There is an animated can
vass going on, and the republican prospects
have improved Of late. In Indiana, which
happens to have republican strength in its
congressional delegation-ten to three-oat
of proportion to the popular strength of the
party, the republicans will probably lose two
or three Of its members. Nor can Iowa hope
to retain its unbroken republican delegation;
although it is not the democracy who threaten
trouble, but anti-monopolists or igdepan-
dents. ~.

The report, therefore, indicates that with
proper care of the money of the state and
reasonable economy in expenditures, the
burden OF taxation can be safely lightened.
The prospect for the future is certainly salts
factory to the taxpayers.
The net amount Of the state tax forty per
cent. on the listl Of 1928 was silS,40S5O;
all Of which was collected. The tax of 1874
[thirty-dyc per cent. on the listl amounted
to 1898 66050; of which all but S5,671.ii
had been collected on the LIST day of August
last.

only, the treasurer's reports for. the two
years show the following:

THE Insurance BUsINEss.-The New
York Tribune has analysed the business Of
thrty-eight fire insurance companies during
the past twenty years, and finds that aside
from all dividends and compensation 10
stockholders, these institutions have paid for
losses and expenses s2s3 Dos, 653.73, and
have earned on premiums received S271 ,293-
36s.59-showing loss in the business of
more than Sl2,6O0,OO0. These Are the com
panies regarded as most ably managed and
having an extended experience, and they are
those that have survived when many smaller
or less fortunate concerns have withdrawn
or sunk in bankruptcy. This estimate takes
no account Of the losses of the one hundred
insurance companies that were wrecked in
the great fires Of Chicago and Boston, Md
does not at all furnish a measure Of the total
loss Of insurance capital during the two, de
cades. But it shows very clearly that the
business has been Improbable on the aver
age even 10 the more fortunate and more
ably managed concerns. Those that have
paid dividends during this period have in
many instances made their profits from. judi
cious investments of their capital and re-
geographically in government securities
since 1861.
