The provision in the amended constitu-
ton Of New Jersey which virtually repeals what
Ii known as the Fyo-County act, is Likely to
lead to a lively fight during THO next session Of
the Legislature. JIhe act In 1aestion prohibits
the taxing Of mortgages in BERGEN, Essex Hud-
son, Passaic, and Union counties; but mort
gagged property pays its full tax without regard
to the encumhrances that may be upon It, In
other words, In those counties man is taxed
on the property Of which he Is the ostensiule
owner but he is not again taxed upon what he
owes. The effect OF the law has been To increase
greatly the population and taxable property of
the counties named, and its repeal must have a
most unfavorable effect upon the prosperity Of
New jersey unless the simple expedient should
be adopted Of extending It's provisions so as to
apply throughout the State, This might be

Where the Boulders Come From.

All have seen the immense boulders
called "lost rock" in some sections, scat
tered over the northern part of the United
States, which have little o. no resemblance
to any mass OF rock any where in the vi
cinity, and have perhaps asked the ques-
tion: Where did they come from? also the
heaps of sand, gravel, and cobblc stones OF
various sizes. which form many of our
ridges. knolls. and hills, and which are to-
tally unlike any fixed rock near them. All
these phenomena are attributed To a single
cause, and that is the great sheet of ice
which Nature stored up ages ago without
the necessity Of protecting it in an ice
house. According to Agassiz, the sheet
oil ice extended In this country as far south
a south Carolina or Alabama, and was
thick enough TO cover all the mountains OF

will only begin. and begin now, to save a
little from their earnings and plant it in
the soil of some good savings bank, and
