Louis Ph1finne.

Mr. Raikes tells number OF stories fllustra-
tive Of the miserable demagogism of Louis Phil
ippe. Thus:
During the first year after the Revolution 1t
was the constant amusement of the Partisan
mob to assemble in the evening before the win
dows in the court Of the Palais Royal and call
out 'Viye Louis Philippe!" Iu less than min
uto he would appear IN the balcony, bowing and
grimactng to his loyal subjects AID when they
began to sing LA Paris1enne.' he would turn
round with theatrical air to embrace Lafayette
or Laftte, and JON in the chorus, beating time
With his hands 70 his ragged friends below.
Under the pretext OF their being National
Guards, he would invite the lowest artisans to
bis dinners and balls till at last the fetes at the
palace became the most vulgar meetings in
Paris, and the 7isee Of all society. One day,
when b. Dufailly was driving in his carriage on
the boulevard, be met the Citizen King walking
by himself, in round hat with large tri-coi-
ored cockade, and his umbrella in his hand,
7aisdnt Fdanldble tout cendul. He stopped bis
carriage and said to his footman. I will give
you 20 francs il you will go and shake
hands With the King The man. who desired no
better amusement, jumped down from the foot
board, and, offering his hand to bis sovereign,
said, Bon jour, mon ami which the other very
cordially took, aud said, In return, Ah, bon
jour comment te portes-tu?"

Tho altitude Of the Stevens mine On Mount
GO to 200 feet the crevice matter, consisting of
siIicia, calcite. and ora, together with the eur
rounding wafl-rock, is solid frozen mase. Mo
Clellan is one OF the highest eastern spurs OF the
snowy range it has the form Of horHeshoe,
with bold escarpment Of felspathic rock nearly
1000 feet high which in some places ia nearly
perpendicular Nothing unusual occurred until
3 distance Of some 30 OF 80 feet had been made {;
then the frozen territory Was reached, and it has
continued for over 200 feet Ihere are no
indications Of thaw, summer or winter.
The whols frozen territory 10 surrounded
by hard. massive rock, and the lode it.
self is as hard and massyo as ihe rock.
The miners being unable to excavate the
frozen material with pick or drill found that the
only way vas to kindle large wood fire ut night
against the back end Of the tunnel, and in the
morning take out the slisintegrated ore This
has been the mode Of mining for more than two
years. The tunnel Ii over $50 feet deep, and
there is no diminuton Of the frost. There Is,
so far as c4u be seeu, no opening or channel
through which the frost could possibly have
reached such depth from the surface- There
are other mines in the same vicinity in like
frozen state. The theory is that the rock WIS
laid down in glacial times, when there Was cold
enough to freeze the very earth'a heart. In that
Gaze the mine is an lce-house whose stores have
remaiDed unthawed for at least 90, 600 years
The phenomenon is not uncommon or inexplica-
ble when openings CAD be found through which
q current Of air can pass; but cases which, like
the Brandon frozen nell and tbs Stevens mine,
show no way for air currents, are still referred
0 imbedded ieebergs and the glacial period.

THE MAN WITH THE BULLET rN HIS BRAIN.

To tbs Editor ef 7he Chicago Tribune:
In your comments on the recovery Of Mr.
Carruth, shot by Q. T. LaodiB, you Say: "The
Homeopathsts Of Philadefphia claim great credit
for the remarkable case, though they do not take
the pains to say in what respect their surgical
treatment at Dir. Ca1ruth differed from the Or
dinary practice Of the regular school" It is
probable they never will diyulge Iha secret, az
doctors do not take Is much pains az they might
do to educate the masses; and, as the veil
Of mystery which has so long surrounded the
healing art ought to be lifted, permit me- to ofer
a suggestion.
In the first place, the Homeopathists did not
give the man morphine, to throw the digestive
apparatus ali out Of order, and then cathartics,
to cure the disease they had created. They did
not direct the attention of old Mother Nature
from the work in hand, BY furnishing her au-
other case OF pressing necessity; they did not,
when she had fire in the attic to e1tinguish 20
and start another in the kitchen. They left her
to attend to that bullet in the bzain~pau, and did
not compel her, az preliminary to healing that,
to 1ectify succession OF unnatural disturbances
in the alimentary canal
lean probably best make myself understood by
recalling = case in Campbell Hospital, Washing
ton City, in the summer Of 1868. Ths Board Of
Physicians, seven in number, united in inform
ing me that need not sacrifice my life in An ef-
fort to save Corporal Randall, for that he must

"1f can keep h1a stomach in good working
order. aud keep 1t regularly ahppEed with tha
best blood-makiug food; il can keep down
fever and pain SO that he sleeps; keep up the
circulation, and prevent chills, will he not get
Hell:"
he threw up his head with laugh, aud re-
piled. II never knew man die under such cir
cumstances."
'.Well. cau do that!"

''Very good! He Is taved. Only yuu must

''Of course, Of course, We will do that In any

The Van Buren Press wants the "fifteen cents' penalty on de linquent taxpayers remitted.
 In the same issue we are inform ed that broom corn is quoted in the St. Louis market at $1.25 to $2.00 per ton.
 Certainly both the mathemat- ical editor and the proof reader must have been absent, sick or otherwise unfit for duty when that paper went to press. Serious ly-of what benefit can such erro- neous information as this be to readers? With all due deference to the more mature years and greater experience of our contem- porary, we must be allowed to think that it is due the public who sustain newspapers for the news and information which they are supposed to supply, that more care and zeal than this should be exhibited in compiling and dis seminating correct and reliable matter.

THE FARM F R'S FAR M AND THE BOND-HOLD-
 FRS BOND.

The Forum, Bucyrus, O., asks pertinently, "Why should not tht farmers farm, the manufacturers shop, and the mechanics tools be exempt from taxation as well as the National Bankers Govern ment Bonds? Will some Repub- lican Journal answer?
 Yes, and the same question put in a little different shape would read, Why should not the Nation al Bankers Government Bonds be taxed as we'll as the farmers farm, the manufacturers shop and the mechanics tools? Our govern ment expenses must be met. We cannot run a big machine and sup port travelling government and stand the stealage which occurs by sub-officials and clerks who take advantage of the travelling, frolicking. rolicking heads of de- partments to fill their pockets with the public money, without taxation. Even with an honest, economical, we'll administered ad- misunderstanding we are not likely to have until we oust the radical bond-holding aristoc- racy and substitute democratic administration which will be in sympathy with the blow holder and the masses of honest produc- ers-it is necessary to raise 8 revenue for public purposes. So as there must be taxation, why not tax all capital alike, the Bond holders Bonds as we'll as the struggling capital invested in home manufactures and the az ricultural industries? Why not rather tax them? They yield the owner larger and easier income without any of the chances of loss to which other capital is subject ed, and why not rather tax them, and if anybody is to be exempt, let it be capital invested in build ing up home industries. This is the question which now interests the people. and the people should not be drawn off from it by the false cry of imitation. There is no imitation in it.

Not long before Gen. Lees death, says the Charleston Cour- fer, 8 gentleman who knew him we'll asked his opinion of Sher- mans conduct. This was several years after the war, when there were the same means that there are now of forming a true judg- ment. What passed is given as follows:
 D. H.-"Gen. Lee, I desire to ask a question, which you will please not reply to if there is any impropriety in it."
 Gen. Lee-"Ask it, sir"
 D. H.-"Was Gen. Sherman, in his march through the country, justified, under the usages of war, in burning our homes over the heads of our women and children while we were in the field?"
 Gen Lee arose from his chair wit his eyes frightened and said |; ''No sir! no sir! It was the act of a savage. He was not justified under the usages of war"
 This we have from the lips of the gentleman to whom Gen. Lee said these words.

THAT FIFTEEN PER CENT.
 PENALTY.

We observe some of our ex- changes and some correspondents of the Gazette are advocating the remitting of the fifteen per cent. penalty imyosed upon dellnquents for 1874. We have not, however, seen any good reason given by any why this should be done, and we don't think any can be given. For ourselves we say right now, let no such thing be done. We shall oppose any such child's play. When the act imposing this pen alty was passed It was believed to be confering favor upon the people. And so it was. The pen alty was placed very low-at just about what the use of the money was considered worth. We see no oppression to any one in it. We see no justice in remitting it it and allowing taxes delinquent for one year to be paid on the same terms with those who paid when it was properly due. The poor mans taxes are no harder in proportion for him to meet than the wealthy mans. The poor man who has nothing, has but little tax to pay, and if the proper exertion was made he could pay it easier than him who has his thousand dollar tax to pay. We want to see justice as we'll as mag nanimity. Suppose the men of large means who owed large taxes, had seen some opportunity by which they could have invested their means so as to justify the payment of the 15 per cent. pen alty, and the larger bulk of the taxes have been with held. What, then, would have been the consc- quences to our state? We would have found our finances in such a deplorable condition that it would have been impossible to run the State government.
 We say the arrangement where by taxpayers were allowed to re
 tain their money for one year by the payment of fifteen per cent. was liberal leniency-more lib eral than it was wise for the state to make-and for the next legis- lature to remit it will be not only child's play, but injustice to the State and to the taxpayers who periodically came forward and

Unjust Discrimination by the
 Federal Government.

It is an established fact, we believe, that in this country one man is as good as another; but it is not so evident that one State is as good as another. Here, for instance, is Illinois. It is a large State, a fertile State, populous State, a wealthy State. It is the State from which General Grant entered the army in 1861. It is the State from which he appoint ed his excellent minister to France. It is the State which contains General Logan. It is, on all these and many other ac- counts, a State which does not deserve ct the hands of the feder- al government such q grave and offensive slight as has been and is put upon it. We speak of the matter with pain, but in the pub lie interest we can remain silent no longer.
 Ku Klux have ragged in Frank lin and Williamson counties, in Illinois, not merely for weeks ol months, but for two years "Shrouded sharpshaoters" defy justice, and murder and intimi date at their own ferocious wills The law officers of the county and State are, or seem to be, unable to check violence or to punish murder and rapine; and yet we dc not hear of federal interference. General Grant remains uncon- cerned at Long Branch, while the laws are defied by masked mur- derers in his favorite State. There is no proclamation warning these Illinois Ku Klux to disperse There is no summons of troops to go to the scene of long continued bloodshed. The President, SC prompt to interpose his strong arm in South Carolina or Louisi- ana or Mississippi, so eager to interfere in Arkansas ill the cause of peace and order, is utterly neg lectful of Illinois. Why is thisi Are the people of Illinois rot as good as those of Arkansas or Louisiana? Must men nowadays live south of Mason and Dixon line to be entitled to the favorable notice of the federal government Have Northern or Northwestern men no rights that the President is bound to enforce with federal bayonets? Are Ku Klux to bs destroyed in the South and to bs encouraged in the North only

SIGNIFIcANT.-Every Democrat ic governor of every Democratic State in the Union is noted for his high personal character, .un- ilinching integrity and honest ad- ministration of his office. Won't the people be apt to think that a party that can select such men as grace governors chairs of the Democratic States for its leaders, can be safely trusted to choose q President to succeed Grant?-Ex.
 What a striking contrast is here presented between the pres eat regime and that of the recon struction, carpet-bag governments which have happily passed away. Not only is the contrast remarka- ble in the personal character of the governors but also in the con dition of all things in these states. The change for better will be equally as great and happy, when we get Democratic National Ad- ministration in 1876.

brave and honest men who dared stand out for their convictions. They hustled out of their so-called church the one time bosom friend but afterward formal accuser of their pastor, and made the sacred edifice ring with their violent out cries. They took back their stain ed pastor with unexampled gush- l ing of affection, and voted him . bonus of $S0,000 as q sort of re :. ward for his scandalous behavior. Mir. Beecher's friends surely serv- ed him in better stead than Col. Bakers, even though among the latter was the heir to the British throne.
 There is as much difference be- tween the conduct of the two men as the circumstances of their trial. Mir. Beecher's defence was abuse of his accuser, and-infamous be- yond belief-abuse of the victim of his unholy passion! He had the impudence to declare that 1t was she who thrust her love on him unsought, and to lay on her shoulders such blame as there was in their relations, while he represented himself as an unsus- pecting holy man whose thoughts
 
 were occupied with heavenly while hers were filled with earthly love! He, coward that he was, tried to escape the penalty of the law and of public opinion by rep resenting Mrs. Hilton as wife, at least in heart, adulterous to her husband.
 Col. Baker sustained his repu- tation as a man of honor and bray cry by making no attempt at the trial or through his exalted friends to throw reproach on the charac ter of Miss Dickinson, thereby to gain for himself dastardly i'm munity which would have been more scandalous than the outrage he committed in the railway car. His counsel expressly declared to the jury that he had received in structions from his client to make no attempt to discredit Miss Dick -inson, and not 8 word was utter ed to that end.
 How do these two cases and these two men compare? Yet Col. Baker justly loses his liberty, his position, and his character; while Henry Ward Beecher flaunts be- fore the public as an honest man, devout soul, a messenger of heaven and an exemplar for his fellows. Those who believe in his guilt are bad men, and delud- cd partisans ransack Brooklyn to get up a triumphal reception for him when he returns from his shameful proceedings in the White Mountains to renew his defiance of public opinion from Plymouth pulpit.
 We think every one will give Col. Valentine Baker the credit of being 8 far more credltable speci- men of human species than the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher,

The Bloody Chasm.
New Orleans Picayunc.

Of all the disgraceful exhibi- tions of intolerance and bitterness that have come to our knowledge, the storm that has been raised in
 Illinois over the proposed visit of Mir. Jefferson Davis to Rockford
 is the most contemptiblc and ig-
 noble. Those same people, the
 Guard Army of the Republic, the
 Chicago Inter Ocean and similar types of sectional hate reproach
 us of the South in pious horror
 because we feel and express dis
 like for such tyrants as Sheridan
 and such morally unclcan creat-
 ures as Butler and Morton. We
 have never held indignation meet
 ings in view of q contemplated visit of any person, however ob- noxious to us; we have never dreamed of resenting the presence of a man in our midst, whether that man were our most implaca- ble foe or most odious betrayer. We who have real and living wrongs to suffer; who can look back across the grievous years that have lnteryened since the war. aud see only the long record of injustice and oppression; who need not go back a twelvemonth for injuries that touch cur dear est rights; we have never once broken into this base clamor which is now deafening decent ears from Illinois. Men more ob- uoxious to us than this broken old man should be to any living soul; men who have done us darker wrongs than Jefferson Davis and all his hosts combined ever did the people of Illinois; these men by scores walk our streets, occu- py our public places, fatten on the plunder of our people, parade their stolen wealth before the gaze of their victims, and this with an immunity from violence and insult that the Christianity of Illinois does not seem to contem. plate.
 It is from such lying sheets as the Chicago Inter-Ocean that we hear of ostracism and political as sassination in the South. The hired tools of islander and defama- tion whom that journal employs, dwell among us unharmed to libel and malign us for pitiful ends it has to serve. And yet this Chi cago Inter- Ocean, which lives by its indignation over the outrages of it's own degraded coinage, has been the one to strike the key note of a chorus that should and will disgrace It's authors and it's desecrates the cen tennial anniversary of our com mon liberation.
 It is through such revelations as this that we identify the senti- ment on which Chicago Inter Oceans thrive, and the world is shown why the Western boor cannot affiliate.
