CoLLEcToRs.--It was doubtless
generally observed that the Super
visors at their late meeting resolved
to again abolish the township collector
system in Cedar county. This makes
twice that the experiment has been
tried--each time, as we understand
the matter, with the verdict that it is
costly, cumbrous and unsatisfactory
We opine that this viii be the end o.
the matter.

Whisky-Drinking in Scotland.

The Pail Mall Gazette says
"sWe're no vera fou, but we are gal
ly vet will be the impression of ma
tiyes of Scotland on considering the
following figures supplied by cor
respondent: Scotland spent last year
fully f7,OOO,OOO on whisky for her
own consumption. Atthe same time
it appears from the return of the val
ne of lands and heritages in Scotland
presented last year to Parliament
that the annual value of these was
fI8,698, ,804, and that these figures
represented: l. Gross annual value
of lands and heritages other than
those contained in burghs of more
than 10000 inhabitants, fl3,5l6,-
S4S; 2. Gross annual value of lands
and heritages IN said burghs, f5,-
lSl, ,956-together making, as above,
f1S,6 ,69S, ,sO4. On contrasting these
details it appears that the people of
Scotland now expend on whisky
alone more than one-half of the an
nual value of the lands and heritages
which are outside Of the nine larger
burghs in Scotland, and more by
f2,O00,000 than the whole value
of these contained within these
iburghs."

GENERAL FRANK p. BLAIR, who has
been Frustrated for long time with
a paralvtic attack, has been greatly
strengthened during the past few
weeks by the TRANSMISSION of blood
into his veins. Two operations had
been performed up to Monday, and a
third one was to have been performed
on Tuesday. At the first operation
two ources were injected, and at the
second one four ounces, the patient
having first been deprived of two
ounces by bleeding. A favorable
change has taken place, the patient
manifesting increased consciousness
and articulating more distinctly Inc

The story has been started that a
bill, similar to that introduced in the
Ohio Legislature, and passed under
the whip of the Catholic Telegraph,
is to be submitted to the next Con-
gress. Thisis, very likely, an inven-
tion of the enemy, as it is hardly pos
sible, at this early day, to say what
manner of legislation is in contem-
plation by the new Congress. But
the rumor serves as basis Of good
deal of speculation, and it is deemed
to be plausible, because the Democra-
cy, in their anxiety for success in the
Presidential canvass of 1876, will be
willing to do almost anything de-
manded of them, in consideration OF
"the unbroken, solid Catholic vote
which is pledged to them in Ohio for
the Democratic State ticket in Octo,
her next, for pulling the Geghan blll
through. So far as its Legislative
acts are concerned, the party recog
nizes the "prior claim" when Mr. =.
Geghan says the Catholic Cnureu a na'
mon it and there is not mucn rea-
san 70 doubt, the ability of the eccle-
s;ast;cal % marty to redeem its pledge

democratic ticket. If the result oil
the fall election in Ohio makes this

While there are a few Republican
Journals in the State which cannot
rise above petty local or personal
predindices, or which cannot resist
opportunities to favorable mention"
or lavishly "puf'' weak and I'M
worthy politicians, it is indeed graft
flying to observe that, with the few
exceptions mentioned, the Republi-
can press of the State is earnestly
endeavoring TO arouse the people to
a just understanding Of the impor-
tance of the pending campaign and
the necessity existing for the selec-
ton of eminently worthy and able
candidates. This strong independ-
ence Of sentiment in favor of a ticket
which must win victory encoura-
ges us to believe that the State Con
vention will be governed by a high
sense of duty, and composed of men
who regard the interests of the party
as paramount to all local or person
al considerations. Men who have
friends to reward, or enemies to
punish" are earnestly requested to
take back seats in the coming cam
paign. Earnest, consistent, and de
termined Republicans-men who are
Republicans because they believe in
the principles of the party--must as
sumo control, and all will be well.

AN ANNIVERSARY.

In a chamber old and oaken,
In faint and faltering way.
Half-a-dozen words were spoken,
Just eleven years to-day.
What was bound and what was broken
Let woman's conscience say.
Half-a-doZen words excited,
Whispered by a lovers side;
Half delighted, half affrighted,
Half in pleasure, half in pride;
And a maiden's troth is plighted,
And fa.se loye-knOt is tied.
Has maiden not a feeling
That can swell, and sing, and soar?
Came not DER her spirit stealing
Thoughts of things that were before
In her heart did no revealing
Tell her love was something more!
Barely half-a-dozen glances,
Half in earnest, half in mirth-
Five, or six, or seven dances
What is such a wooing worth!
Courtship in which no romance is
Can not give true love birth.
Passion is pain and power
Slowly growing unto might,
BY long vigils, not the hour;
Real love is not at sight:
'Tis weed: tits not flower
That arises in a night.
Lightly is the promise spoken,
Lightly is the love-knot tied;
And the maid redeems the 'oken,
Living at her husbands side;
And her heart-it is not broken,
But it is not in its pride.
With the years shall come feeling,
Never, may he, felt before;
She shall find her heart cOncealing
Wants it did not know of yore;
the truth revealing,
Real love is something more.

Catching Cannon Balls ON the
ElV.


Paris Cor. New York Times
A very singular exhibition was
given yesterday at the Jardln Ma
billie. There has been performing
here at the Folies Bergeres man
named Holtum, an American, who
has cannon fired at him and catches
the ball in his hands. This prodigious
feat was witnessed nightly, and al
though the actors present ayowed that
there was no trick, Pierre Veron, of
the Monde. Illustre, would not be-
lieve it. He said that the cannon
ball must be thrown to Holtum from
the stage. The latter made a bet of
5000 francs that he would perform
the feat under conditions which left,
no room to doubt and, when the bet
was taken, Veron designated Mabille
as the place for the trial. All the
journalists of Paris were invited, and
they found Holtum there before his
cannon. 1t was examined with min
nte care, and the heavy ball was
passed from hand to hand. al am no
longer in my own house" said Hol-
tum; ''you are master here, and you
must watch over all the arrange
ments." Having carefully aimed and
lashed his cannon, it was charged,
and Holtum took his place against a
a plank target some ten yards away.
This was to show that the ball was
solid, and the force of the powder
great enough to send it through the
plank. Holtum got the aim of his
gun. and then placed his head in a
certain position against the plank,
giving the command to fire. The ball
just grazed the hair and broke
through the plank, rolling some TWEEN
ty yards further on. The same ball
was picked up by the journalists, who
again charged the cannon and sent
home the ball, and this time Holtum
caught the ball in his hands as neatly
as he does nightly upon the stage.
He won his bet, and no one seemed
disposed to accept his offer of 5000
francs to any one who would perform
the same astounding feat. The phys
ical force required must be enormous,
but HOltum showed his strength by
tossing up cannon balls as if they
were so many oranges. The only
precautions taken are very simple;
he wears very thick leather gloves,
and covers his breast with many
thicknesses of thin paper to form a
sort of cuiraSs. This looks to me like
very dangerous feat, and particular
ly the first part of it, where Holtum
places his head against the target
half an inch below where the ball
will probably strike. If the powder
should chance to be defective, some
day there might be an accident. 1t
is like the foolhardy trick of pntting
ones head into lions mouth. One
day | fancy that ball will snap his
head very neatly of.

The Augusta, (Ga.) Chronicle of
a recent date says: "Father Leckner
visited Ike Hooper, the condemned
murderer, early yesterday morning,
and informed him of the refusal of
Governor Smith to grant Executive
clemency. Hooper was at first much
agitated, and trembled like leaf sha-
ken by the wind, but soon became
more reconciled to his fate. A re-
markable fact in connection with this
case is an exemplificatiOn of the OIL
told story that mems hair sometimes
turn gray in a single night. nen
Hooper was sentenced by Jndge Io'-
tie last month his hair was per'ec'iy
black. The morning after the sen
tence was imposed, Mr.. Bridges,
keener of the Jail, noticed on enter
;n@ the condemned mans cell that a

where he had obtained hour to put
ON his head. Hooper was surprised
and said he knew nothing about it.
Mr.. Bridges then went up to him and
discovered that a large part of his
hair Immediately on the crown of his
head had actually changed from a
deep black to snowy white during
the night. The agony Of a few
hours had done what years generally
accomplish"
