TIE LOCAL EDITOR.

The Danbury News man tells the
story of the local editor thus "Once
upon a time a local editor dreamed
that he was dead and in another
world. He approached the gate Of
city before him and knocked for
admission, but no one answered his
summons. The gate remained clos
ed against him. Then he cried
aloud for an entrance, but the only
response were scores of heads APP
pcaring above the wall on each side
Of the gate. At sight of him the
owners Of the heads set up dismal
howl, and said, 1Why didn't you
notice that Ifg egg gave you l'---
At this horrid and unexpected inter
rogatioo, tho. poor local turned in the
direction Of the voice to learn it's
owner, when another Voice shrieked !:
"Wherc is the piece you were going
to write about my soda fountain p
And close upon that was the awful
demand "Why did you write q
piece about old Peddle's fence, and
never say word about my new
gate ~ Whatever answer he was
going to frame to this appeal was
cut abruptly off by the astonishing
question: "What did you spell my
name wrong in the programme for 7"
The miserable man turned to flee,
when he was rooted to the spot by
this demand: "Why did you put
my marriage among the deaths p
He was on the point Of saying the
foreman did IL, when shrill voice
madly cried: "What made you put
ia my runaway and spoil the sale Of
my horse :" And this was followed
by the voice of female Historically
proclaining: 'srhis is the brute that
botcbed my poetry and made me
ridiculous." Whersupon hundreds
of voices screamed: "Where's my
article. Give me back my article.
and in the horrid din, the poor
wretch awoke, perspiring at every
pore, ard screaming for help. The
next day he resigned, aud We had TO
hunt up another local editor.

A TAX ON DOCS A NECESSITY.
Not only the citizens of Cobb
county, but those Of other counties
in The State, are urging the necessi-
| ty Of a tax on dogs in order to thin
out the nuisance. A writer in the
Calhoun Times very pertinently re-
marks: "Ihave talked with sever
al farmers in our county, and from
the best information | have been
able to obtain, | think it faV to put
the number of dogs in this county at
1900. Truly this is large number
Of worthless animals to be kept by a
people who might have sheep in
abundance to furnish mutton and
wool to supply them in a great de-
gree with food "a we'll as with warm
clothes for winter. Now / have no
hesitation in saying that tax Of
one dellar per head would pay the
jury fees of our whole county, aud
give each juror two dollars a day for
his services. We have IS to 48 ju-
rors each week of Court, which
would make the Jurors at 50 per day
amount to from 500 to s96 per day,
about $3.50 per week, and allowing
Court to last six weeks every year,
the jury fees would amount to 81, 700
Or $4,000 per annums BY this
means we could have bridges built,
,jails repaired, and oil of our county
expenses met, and no hardship on
any one.
As a general thing, tho dogs are
owned by a class of people who pay
no tax unless it is poll tax, and the
depredatious are committed on those
who have property Of various sorts.
One Of our best planters in this
county has quit shcep-raising, say
ing he~could never get!a lamb TO cat,
for the dogs.
There arc two negroes living on
one plantation in this county: one
owns Is or 30 sheep, and the other
has three or four large dogs. a few
weeks ago neighbor found the dogs
of one killing the sheep Of the other
and no doubt in ono year or less
they have destroyed more than 20
sheep. A dog which is not worth
one dollar annually is not worth
keeping and one worth keeping no
man would mind paying a tax of one
dollar.
The sheep killed by dogs in the
State of Ohio last year were worth
81, 100000. Think of this, we who
think it right for your dogs to kill
your neighbors' sheep. As to the
right to tax dogs specifically, ! need
only say that the State of Alabama
taxes every pistol and bowie knife
50 Tor did few years ago. while
BUR own State formerly taxed all
carriages, buggies, &c, one dollar
for each wheel, regardless Of value.
Stations and jacks we're formerly
taxed SO per head, and no objec-
ton made to its payment. Why |
then should there be any objection to
a specific tax on dogs, which all are
bound to admit are in majority of
instances nuisance to the whole
country"

rur rrRsr nIEMENr or a HOME.

THE FIRST ELEMENT or A HOME.
/ never saw garment too fine for
man or maid there WAS never a
chair too good for cobbler or a
cooper to sit in; never house too
fine to shelter the human hoad.-
These elements about US, the gor
geous sky, the imperial sun, are not
too good for the human race. Elo-
eancc fits man. But do we not val
DC these tools Of housekeeping lit
tie more than they are worth, and
sometimes mortgage home for the

fashion of John the Baptist in the
wilderness, or sit on q block all my
life, than consume all myself before

pains with the outside that the in
side was as hollow 40 an empty nut.
Beauty is very great thing, but
beauty Of garments, house and fur
niture is very tawdrJ ornament
compared with domestic love. All
the elegance in the world will not
make home, and / would give
more for spoonful Of hearty love
than whole ship-loads Of furniture,
and all the upholsterers Of the world
could gather together.

Inca certain county there was a
case in which he had indicted a white
man named William Jones for COW
stealing, who had left for parts un-
known, and Colonel B., was proceed
ing to final Judgment on the for
feited rccognizance. The securities
on tho bond saw no ground to hope
for the capture Of the COW thief, or
TO evade payment Of the bond with
costs. In the consultation with their
attorney, who had just told then,
there was no hope, ono Of the secari-
ties said if he could not catch that
Bill Jones, he knew a negro Bill
Jones who had stolen COW, and
he'd be id IL he did not intend
to have him indicted just for spite.
Stop, says the attorney. You say

For the want of bail Bill was ar

Cicero ON Old Age.

Nothing can be more void of founda-
ton than to assert that old age neces-
sarily disqualifies man from engaging
in the great affairs of the world. AS
we'll might it be affirmed that the pilot
is totally useless and unengaged in the
business of the ship, because while the
rest of the crew are more actively en-
ployed in their respective departments,
he sits quietly at the helm and directs
its motions. II in the great scenes of
business an old man cannot perform a
part which requires the force and energy
of vigorous years, he can act, however,
in nobler and more important charc-
ter.
1t is not by exertions of corporal
strength and activity that the moment
Gus affairs of State are conducted it is
by cool deliberation, by prudent coun-
sci, and by that authoritative influence
which ever attends on public esteem !;
qualifications which are usually strength
ened and improved by increase of years.
The truth is, if abilities of this latter
kind were not the peculiar attributes of
old age, our wise ancestors would not
surely have distinguished the supreme
counsel of the State by the appellation
of the Senate. The Laced@monians, for
the s;sme reason, give to the first magis-
trates in their Commonwealth the title
of Elders and in fact they are always
chosen out of that class of men.

"Reminiscences of Lord Palmerston.

Then we have some criticism upon the
unsociable character of modern fashion
able society, some remarks upon the art
of conversation, and some "reminiscences
of Lord Palmerston. At dinner-table,
or in general society, Lord Palmerston,
though always genial, did not always
shine but when you were at home with
him. or when you were at work with
him, or when you were walking with
him, he was a charming companion.
And what was said about his avoidance
of the past, and his intense interest in
the present and the future, is exactly
true. saw great deal of him in the
last ten years of his life, and l only re-
member two or three instances when he
went back upon the past; but, as re-
CARDS our hopes and prosects for the
future, he was always ready to discourse
culture or law, or politics or political
ecOQCmv.

Sea.Sickness.

The opinion SO commonly held in re-
gard to sea-sickness, namely, that it is
due either to congestion of the brain,
or to a commotion in the abdominal
viscera caused by the motion of the.
vessel, are very plausibly combatted by
NJ. Pellerin, who, in paper read before
the French Academy, attributes the
malady to deranged circulation of the
blood produced by the alternate rolling
and heaving of the vessel. The result.
of this, he says, is not a congestion of
the brain, which is, on the contrary, de-
prived of some of the blood required to
keep up stimulus of that nervous CEN
ter; that sensation which is felt in sea-
sickness resembling, peculiarly, what is
felt Immediately after letting of blood
when the patient sits or stands, namely,
a disposition to vomit, or actual vomit-
ing. In support of this opinion, men,
ton is made of the fact that persons who
are liable to sea-sickness experience its
effects IN much slighter degree when
they are in a horizontal position, the re-
lief thus afforded being like that which
is produce in the same position when a
person is in state of syncope.

New Cereal.

A new cereal has been grown in Ore
gon, and the people are puzzled as to
whether it belongs to the wheat family,
or more nearly resembles rye, barley or
oats, opinions being very nearly equally
divided. From seven to ten stalks
grow from one root, to height of about
four feet, and these stalks, or straw, are
thin and hard. The radicals are tough,
and spread widely. The heads are six
inches in length, and covered with a
heavy beard, each filament being five
inches long. The grain is double the
length of kernel of wheat, and instead
of being firm and compact, is hsllow,
the cavity containing glutinous matter.
While the grain bears closer resem-
blance to wheat than anything else, the
straw looks more like that of rye or
barley Its origin is somewhat peculiar,
the first grain having been taken from
the stomach of wild goose, by farmer
of Tillamook county, nearly three years
ago. He was struck with its appear
ance, and planted it, and the succeed
ing season sowed the product. He dis
tributed portion of the second crop
among few friends In diffe rent parts
of the State, who this year raised small
quantities. 1t will require another year
to determine the value of the grain.

A Preliminary Difficulty.

The professor of natural philosophy in
a certain college recently gave the class
a problem to think of during the night
and answer the next day. The question
was this IF hole were bored through
the center of the earth, from side to
side, and ball dropped into it, what
motion would the ball pass through and
how would it come to state of rest p
The next morning student was called
up to solve the problem. "What an
swer have you to give to the question p
asked the professor. "Well, really, F"
replied the student, "I have not thought
of the main question, but of prelimi-
nary one. How are you going to get
that hole through ?"

Rough on Phelim.

The hero of the following narrative,
says the Danbury NeUs, must have had
his curiosity satisfied. Phelim O'Cal-
laghan, a well-to-do, jolly tempered Hi
bernian, who "never spoils a joke for
relations sake, tells the following on
himself:
During a recent visit to the metropo-
lis, Phelim observed while strolling up
one of the principal streets, fierce
looking Qiqueous) Modoc in front of a
tobacco shop, which suggested, natur-
ally, smoke, Phelim walked in.
A bright-eyed Caucasian woman was
in attendance, of whom such satisfac-
tory purchase was made, that Phelim
asked the price by the box, when the
young woman called to her husband,
who was in an adjoining room, for the
desired information. Much to the con-
sternation of Phelim, in walked Tin re-
spouse to the inquiry a thick-lipped,
white-ivoried, wooly-patted, unadulter-
ated son of Guinea, who examined the
quality of the cigar, named the price,
and retired.
"Is that your husband" whispered
Phelim, with protruding eyeballs, after
the apparition of the "Lord and Mas
ter" had withdrawn.
Upon the woman replying affirmative
", he continued What in the divil
did such a pretty white young gal as We
marry a nagur for?"
Oh, said the better-half, I have a
sister who did great deal worse than
that p
"Wus nor that !" echoed Phelim,
