There has been dullness prevailing our
town the past month that has caused .
spirit oil loneliness to steal over the Oldest

over our town. The golden grain hAs

The rapid destruction of the forests
of the United States is attracting the
attention of scientific men who assert
that the scarcity of wood for the
practical purposes Of life, although a
great evil, is trifing, compared to the
damage that must result to the agri
cultural interests of the country by the
climatic charges that will follow the
denudation of timber lands. Already
this change is apparent in many section
where continued droughts are now be-
coming common much 10 the detriment
Of farmers.

HE New TARIFF AND TAX BILL,
which, it is expected, will be submitted
from the ways and means committee
to the House Of Representatives, at
Washington, to-day, proposes to raise
aboat $4,000 900. This is to be ac-
complished by restoring the ten per
cent. taken off the duties on man l.
ufactures of cotton, woods, iron and
steel, paper, books, India rubber, gutta
percha, glass, leather, etc; and addi-
tional duty Of % per cent. on sugars
and molasses; an increase o. 4 cents
per pound on tobacco; an increase of
the tax on spirits on hand Is cents,
and 30 cents on spirits manufactured
after the passage of the bill, The bill
also provides for relieving matches
from tax, and the cessation at the end
of the year of the stamp tax on bank
checks. Tea and coffee will remain
free of duty. The bill, of course, has
yet to pass through the congressional
mill, and will doubtless undergo
snndry changes before it becomes a

VIGOROUS PROTEST AGAINST THE Re
PUDIATIoN DEMONSTRATING to a
recent meeting of nineteen persons held
at Spottsylvanla Court House, Virginia
at which resolutions in favor of repudia>
ton were adopted, the Petersburg
Index says:
"If we believed in truth that any
considerable number of the people of
Virginia were in favor Of the dark
doctrine Of Reputation we should
advocate with unusual vigor the ques
ton Of new Lunatic asylums, not to
speak of other public institutions, for
the fit accommodation Of such persons. "
In his recent speech in the Virginia
Legislature defending the funding bill,
Capt. Hudgins, one of the delegates
from Caroline county, expressed his
own views, and we have no doubt those
of large majority of the thinking
people of Virginia, who, however de-
pressed may be their financial affairs,
are certainly not prepared to tarnish
their fair fame by an attempted act OF
reputation. Captain Iudgins declares
tina. 'lhs Virginia Legislature should
cease TO tamper with the State debt,
and learn to so husband their means
and resources as to remove reputation
far from their State, and thereby build
up the credit and honor Of Virginia on
a firm and enduring basis We may
add that is known that to-day vital
interests in Virginia are suffering, and
negotiations in behalf of important
railroad enterprises in her borders rem
dered impossible of consummation by
the mistrust excited by the disposition
manifested by some to tamper with the
States credit.
