Sparks from Hon. S. s. Cox's "why we
Laugh"
-"Indecency and Fun are old cronies."
The Germans boldly aver that God
laughs almighty.
THE creative power is not always the
ruling power.
"A humor is not always the quality of
the mind we call humor.
THE very word Humor once meant
juice; and justice Is divine.
Our little life is but watch tick in
the eternal years of GOD.
WHY can We not have, as Thebes
had, Orphic music as they build?
-"Spice has done much for tee mum
my. Cheop survives, embalmed,
The speeches, which are soul stirring,
are pronounced to be heard and not to be
published. "
Our humor needs to be democratic
ed, Our genteei laughter needs crossing
with that OF hearty toll.
THE search into the origin of our lam
guage and of our people does as much Ito
NOR, as Of our institutions.
--"Oat of the mouth proceed the curse
and the kiss; much bitterness, but much
blessing From it came the revilings of
the Judean mob and the beatitudes Of the
Mount"
THE JOKE is great union element
If Velvet Paw can only shake Horny Hand
over Joke, Velvet Paw and Horny Hand
are community at once Of equal fran
chise.
Imagine a man laughing without his
eyes as coadjutors! One should be afraid
of him who cannot or does not peep, if not
shut his eyes, in the act of laughing. An
open eyed laugh is fraud.
There is little new, except our chem
stry; ard much of that may be as ancient
as the Pyramids. Cinderela's slipper is
traced back to the Veda; Aesop had
BadGha; William Tell dwells in the chron-
icles of nearly all nations; and the apple of
his archery is nearly as old as that of
Eden
How have the seven hues of the
prism been modified and multiplied by
genius and patience? Yet you can com
pare such finite displays of mere outward
art to the endless variety of emotions
which moves the muscle and charms the
mind, by the piquant attrition of mind with
mind in the society of gifted men?'

Sudden Attachment.

1t is related of Curran, the famous
Irish orator and wit, that he was one
evening sitting In a box at the French
opera, between an Irish noble woman,
who he had accompanied there, and a
very young French lady. The ladies
soon manifested a strong desire to con-
verse, but neither OF them knew a word
Of the others language. Curran, OF
course, volunteered to Interpret, or, in
his own words, "tO be the carrier of their
thoughts, and accountable for their safe
delivery.D '
They went at 1t at once, with all the
ardor and Zest Of the Irish and French
nature combined; but their interpreter
took the liberty OF substituting his own
thoughts for theirs, and instead of re-
marks upon the dresses and the play he
introduced SO many finely turned COM
pliments that the two ladies soon
became completely fascinated with each
other. AT last, their enthusiasm becom.

Municipal Debts.

Perhaps the time will never come
when men will cease to grumble at tax
alton. This is always the standard
theme OF the demagogue. Upon this
topic he rants and raves, with the
fiercest denunciations of the burdens of
taxation imposed upon the people.
But in this State it is the people them
selves who impose the greatest portion
of the burden of taxation. The tax lev
led by the State for its own require
ments Is by no means large. The whole
amount levied for State purposes in Ohio
Is, for 1875, $4,94S 1893; and this is less by
b10l, ,374 than was levied in 1874.
This tax for State purposes is levied
ON valuation of $1,59S, ,575, ,S62. 1t is
easy to see that the assessment made for
State purposes is really light rate OF
taxation on the property of the State
placed on the grand duplicate.
But the burden comes in when the as
sessment is made to meet the require
ments of local and municipal taxation.
The taxes levied in 1874 tor local and
county purposes amounted to $2l, 7SO, 800.
This is more than four times the amount
required for Stale purposes in the same
year.
Nor does there seem TO be any tenden-
cy to diminish this burden of local and
municipal taxation. For we find from
the. statistics given in the Governors
Message, which we published yesterday,
that in 1875 the assessments for local
and municipal purposes amounted to
B23 O03, 976. Here isan increase of almost
$4,000, 900 in one year.
The local and municipal Indebtedness
was likewise materially increased during
the past year over that oil 1874. The total
Indebtedness of counties, townships,
cities of 1st and 2d class, incorporated
Villages, and school districts, in 1874,
amounted to $21 ,SS6, ,007; and in 1875 this
indebtedness had increased to $25,957,-
5SS: an increase Of $4,071,5S1.
People should therefore consider,
when declaiming against the burdens
Of taxation, which burdens are by no
means fanciful, but actual, that 1T is
not the State Legislature that. i'm
poses these burdens, but their own
small local legislatures, in the
form of county commissioners,
township trustees, school boards, and
town and city councils, that create more
than three-fourths OF the taxes to which
The people must respond.
The facility with which municipal
debts may be created is great source
Dfevil inducing burdensome taxation.
To this there should be fixed limit by
law.

with this base and criminal conspiracy
to defraud the Government, who have
long stood among the prominent public
men of Chicago in positions the most
honorable and respected.
1t seems wonderful that dabbling in
whisky, even as a matter of merchan-
disc, should so lar demoralize men Of
previous high standing as to make them
utterly regardless of their moral obliga-
tions towards the public, and make them
willing conspirators against the public
revenue, as though it were no offense
against right and duty, and the only
harm in the case consisted in being
found out. Such code of morals on
the subject of crime would have we'll be-
come the laws of Sparta, where detec-
tion, and mot the act, was the punisha-
BILE offense.
We are glad to discover that their
money is not going to save those conspir-
ators from the consequences of their
crimes, and that no condonation will be
permitted on the grounds ofa confession
of guilt. Confessions come too late
when proof has become abundant and
conclusive.

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.

1t is reported that Bishop Ames mas
Joined Bishop Haven on the third-term
question. There may be bishops enough
in the United States TO elect Grant; but
we doubt 1t.
The health Of Hon. Alex. HI. Steph-
ems, always delicate, is reported to be
now more seriously alarming. His
friends entertain fears OF an early ap-
proach of the end.
Some politicians are cooking up a
Democratic Presidential ticket with Til
den of New York as President and Cas-
sius' NJ. Clay OF Kentucky as Vice Presi-
dent. "Save me, Cassius, or / sinkp'
The formation of Peoples party is
already spoken of as certainty; and
General Banks is quoted as authority
for saying that it will overthrow both
Of the old political parties. This will
certainly prove true, it the people all
join it.
The people Of Iowa are expressing
themselves on the subject of U. S. Sena-
tor soon to be elected by the legislature
OF that State. 1t is stated that Secreta-
ry Belknap is largely ahead in these
popular yotings. Though such proceed
ings may not count much, they may tell
a good deal.
Judge James Johnson, OF Georgia !,
has announced himself as a candidate
for Governor of that. State, independent
of any nominating convention whatever.
He repudiates all caucus and conven.
ton machinery, and addresses himself
directly to the people entirely upon his
own merits. Judge johnson was a
Union man throughout the war, and
served as Provisional Governor under
an appointment from Andy johnson.
His Democratic opponents concede to
him fine talents and irreproachable char
acter.
Washington correspondents have 1t
that Grant has announced himself hos
tile to the proposed reduction of the
standing army, and threatens to veto the
bill If passed. We very much doubt all
that. We do not believe that Grant is
such fool as to make threats of veto
in advance Of any legislation. He is
moreover reported by the same corre-
spondents as extremely angry with Sec
retary Fish, and pronounced him dis
loyal. Probably those omniscient corre-
spondents know nothing about the mat
ter. But then what would their corre-
spondence all be worth II it were not
spiced up with such lively condimentsl

AND still Mrs. Moulton is not happy.
She got her Council'allowed by Plymouth
Church, and now she is troubled about
its place of meeting. She can not possi-
bly, get her own consent to enter Ply
mouth Church; and there, according to
all the rules and precedents of Congre-
gationalism, is to be the place of meet
ing for the Council. 1t is a pity that
Mrs. Moulton is so extremely sensitive
to contamination that she can not enter
the Church where the Council is to meet.
But the Church does not seem inclined
to become peripatetic in order to suit
her super-sensitive nature; so that she
Will probably be required to meet her
Council in session at Plymouth Church,
or not meet them at all. We, believe she
would prefer the latter, no matter where
they meet.

France plainly Indicates her determi-

by diplomacy, or not, no one can foretell.
The probabilities are that war OF great
magnitude will grow out of these trou-
blesome questions; and, if SO, France is
vigorously preparing herself to take part
in the conflict with powerful military
force.
At the present time, the new military
organization which she has instituted
would enable France to put at least 400,-
!, 900 effective troops, Of all arms, into the
Geld. Besides these she could immedi-
= ately mobilize not less than 5000 auxil-
iiaries for duty on general staff service,
and as sanitary and ambulance corps,
and the like. These forces would not be
lound to be on paper rolls merely. The
pitter experience Of the nation, in their
recent conflict with Germany, will suf-
ice to keep the Government guarded
against any more of such mischievous
Receptions.
But France has not. only provided
military force such as mentioned above
for present requirements; she has, by a
law of 1873, SO reconstructed her whole
military system, that within five years,
Say by 1880, she could prepare an army
Of 100000 troops for active service in the
field, and at the same time hold as an
army Of reserve not less than ], 600, 900 Of
men. And this takes no account of her
territorial armies, which are estimated
at 600, 600 troops Of all arms. So that ii
a European outbreak should be postponed
for few years to come, France could
interpose full 100000 of men for her
military protection against any combina-
tion her rivals might form.
