The Arkansas Valley, the Indian, buffalo,
and grasshopper, separately or combined,
seemed to have inspired several OF our late
editorial visitors, and several poetical efru-
sion. resulted. Ths following is about the
cutest thing that has come under our notice
The writer is supposed to be holding dsfunct
grasshopper between his fingers, with the
muses. nine poking him in the short ribs:
'This is the yarmint-
The rasishing hopper,
Amt he whopper:
His cheek Is like copper;
He's robber, a ranger:
An unwelcome stranger,
A breeder Of famine,
Give him 4 dapmn'.
OF hunger he died not,
Neither from gunshot.
But his belly he trusted
Too long, and it busted"

A CURIOUS feature Of Virginia law has
been brought to notice in decision oI
the United States District Court Judge
Hughes, in the case Of l.. 1Garmanson
assignee, Va. s. NJ. Wilson, ct al, allowing
deduction Of interest Oh certain prom
issory notes running during the war
The Court said that the contract to pay
interest in Virginia was one subject tc
the legislative will, and not protected by
the constitutional provision prohibiting
the impairment Of contracts. 1t was
also said that the Legislature has con
.tantly subjected the allowance ofintereSI
to the discretion ofjurics. The inference
is that no matter what rate Of interest
may be agreed upon in Virginia con
tract, either court Of clanccry or a jur!
has the power to allow any other rate, ol
none at all.

WASHINGTON, May l4.-The whisky
frauds are still receiving attention by
the Treasury Department and Solicitor
Wilson Is continually unearthing frauds.
A further record Of evidence was dis
covered against the Union Copper dis.
tillery, at Chicago, and one hundred and
fifty barrels Of spirits were seized. Three
hundred were also seized belonging to
Bevis 4 Frazier, in 81. Louis, fresh proof
having been obtained against them.
Photographic copies Of the Internal
Revenue returns are being made at the
Treasury Department and forwarded to
the officers In different cities TO aid them
in substantiating their charges. Among
those made to-day was one from the
gauger from Cincinnati certifying that
certain number of barrels Of spirits had
been cmptied and stamps destroyed in
accordance with law, and upon further
search the same lot was found in Chicago
in the same packages, thus showing
the collision Of gaugers with distillerieS.
On the 3Otl Of April Mr.. Wilson
called upon the Collectors Of In
ternal Revenue In different localities
to furnish certain information Concern-
ingth transactions in their districts, but
up to last night very few Of them had re.
sponded, and to-day the Secretary Of the
Treasury called upon them for an ex.
PLANTATION Of their Noncompliance and
for an immediate reply. He Ia deter.
mined that all orders Of this nature shall
be Obeycd, or Collectors must take the
consequences. A large number OF com.
muniCatiOns have been received from dif-
ierent sections from parties offering 10

Meeting OF Observation-Disclosures

tory Results Of the 'W0r."
From the HaltlmOru American Of tho 18th,
At the regular monthly meeting Of til,
Board OF Directors Of the Baltimore ant
Ohio Railroad Company, held yesterday
nt their rooms, Camden Station, Presi
dent Garrett stated that the revenue fol
the month Of April, 1874, was, on tn,
Baltimore and Ohio Road and il
branches, Sl,S77,95S 60, among the larg
eat for any month in the history Of til,
Company.
He had the satisfaction of stating that
notwithstanding the continuance OF the
hostile action OF rival lines-especially o.
the Pennsylvania Company-the revenue
for the month OF April, 1875, was 81, ,4l2,
527 %, thus showing an increase for thai
month over the same month OF the pre-
ceding year Of S34,573 60, The results
therefore, OF the experience Of April, con
tirmed the views expressed by the Presi'
dent at the last monthly meeting Of The
Board as to the ability of the Baltimore
and Ohio Company to maintain its policy
thoroughly and successfully,
The Pennsylvania Company has con-
tinued to make rates to some points
which are not only unremunerativG, but
which must result in great losses, they
having made rates from Baltimore which
scarcely pay one-fOurth Of n cent per ton
per mile. The officers OF the Baltimore
Il Ohio Company have, in many instances,
refused freight at such rates, and have
aided in throwing 1t upon the Northern
Central and the Pennsylvania roads and
their Western connections. 1t was
clearly the interest Of the Baltimore Il
Ohio Company when losses would follow
by accepting traffic ut such rates, that it
should he thrown upon the line whose
representatives had offered them.
The results of the Conflict" continue
to be most favorable 10 the business Of
Baltimore.
The receipts Of passengers by the main
stem for April, also show large increase
over the same month OF 1874, arising
from the great number Of passengers who
are attracted by the very low fares to
Baltimore.
Controlling inducements are still held
out by the present rates both for passage
and freight to Western merchants gen.
orally to visit and make their purchases
in Baltimore.
As al illustration, the Pennsylvania
Company has been forced to fix its rate
for passage at the same rate rs estab-
lished by the Baltimore 4 Ohio railroad
between Pittsburgh and Baltimore (S45O),
whilst it continues to require $40 from
Pittsburgh to Philadelphia. The enor.
nous determinations made between all
Western points and Baltimore ms against
Philadelphia, New York and Boston, can.
not fail to produce the most advantageous
results to the general trade and commerce
Of Baltimore.

ants. The usual addresses Of welcome
and responses thereto were made, and were
most apt and fitting The old cut.nnd.
dry way Of doing that sort ot thing was
abolished, and everything was feIicitouS
and appropriate.
After this, the regular work Of the Con.
ventiOn began. Various interesting re:
portS were made by gentlemen selected
inr the purpose, on the statistics and gen.
eral workings Of the Sabbath School.
Representatives from nearly all the States
and British Provinces were heard on the

The Conference on the subject Of the
International Lessonsw was most delightful
and cdifying, bringing into grand
prominence the great power there IS IN a
whole christian world explaining to-.
vether the same srtiptural lessons. Past
experience and present usefulness secure
this method Of studying the Bible for
years 10 come.
Besides these, which may be considered
the chief topics that occupied the 0tten'
tion Of the Convention, several intensely
practical questions we're discussed, such
as how to increase the attendance upon
these schools, and how to Increase their
efficiency, etc. .
DR.. John Hall, Of New York, himself
an editor Of the Lesson Papers n use ~
many schools, delivered m able and
eloquent address, the beauty Of which
consisted greatly in its earnestncss and
simplicity, The address Of Rev. Mr.
Jacob, oi'ChiCago, was also rich treat.
Intcrspersed with all the business and
reading Of reports, addresses, etc. was
delightful devotional exercises, and the
musical department was superb.
Among the delegates from the North
and South there were many irAternal
greetings, and disposition to lot by.gones

Convention to assemble there, which was
accepted with cheers. This was q fitting
