IsHAYEs A PERJURER?-The "North-
ern Ohio Democrat' of September 3rd
contains full exhibit of the false and
fraudulent tax returns of personal proper
ty for the three years made by Ruther-
ford B. Hayes to the tax assessors of the
First Ward of the town of Fremont. The
personal property other than nontaxable,
valued under the will of Sardis Birchard
at So, 900, of which R. B. Hayes was de-
visee, is returned for taxation, under the
oath of R. B. Hayes, at $500. Three
watches, the aggregate value of which is
$500, are sworn to be worth $3.50 in 1876,
while in 1874 one of the watches is sworn
to be worth $500. -Four carriages are re-
turned as being worth $3.50 in 1874; yet
the maker of one of the carriages says
that Mr.. Hayes paid him in that year
$500 for a single carriage. One horse,
valued at. $500, is returned as worth but
s1OO. Though in possession of. a piano,
he has failed to make return thereof, as
the law Of Ohio requires. With over
100000 worth Of personal property, Gov.
Hayes has returned under oath. for the
past three years less than $4,000 worth
for taxation. ~ 80, h..f..e

WEIGHING A BEAM OF, LIGHT, AND
How IT Is Done @12Mr. Crookes most
startling discovery Of how to weigh 8
beamIof light appears to have originated
somewhat in this WAY. DESTROYS of
Weighing some, small quantity of a sub
stance without those disturbances insepa5
rable from the operations as ordinarily
conducted, Mr.. Crookes made snanges
ments to accomplish the weighing lin
vacuum, and was surprised to find that
when a Hight was approached to the ex:
hausted receiver; aanew BET of Disturbing
influences were caAed.into play; and that
the action ofgrayitation was appreciably'
modified. Mr. Crookes at once, set, to
work to determine the general conditions
and intensity Of this new force; which
resulted in the absolute knowledge that
the beam ofalight was, not only weight,i
but that it is possible to weigh it.. The
apparatus for weighing the beam Of light
consistedo an. exhausted glass chamber
in. the form of a horizontal cross, with
arms of circular cross section., Inside
the larger arm is glass fibre maintained
in uniform state of tension BY q spiral
spring at one end, rahd BY a glass stopper
at. the other, (which stopper is capable OF
rotation. The shorter arm of the, cross
contains in q like manner a stouter fibre
beam Of glass secufed at the point Of
crossing to the longitudinal or tofsion
fibre, and having at one extremity a.pith
surface of two square inches! area, and at
the other end q little cup, Inside the
chamber there is a loose particle of iron
weighing 1-100 of q grain, and outside
the stopper is counter recording the
number of torsions or turns the glass
fibre makes. Now, the method ofproce-
dure is as follows: The position of. a dot
of light from the little mirror placed at
the intersection of the two glass fbres
having been noted, the little iron weight
is lifted by means Of q magnet, and
placed in the cup, which, when thus
Weighted gdescends. Torsion is then 'ap-
piled to the glass fibre until the beam:is
lifted, and the dot .of light returns. to its
former position. This may be. called the
zero Of the machine. This exact amount
of torsion having been determined and its
equivalent in weight ascertained, the
torsion is removed, and the. ray of light
is then made to fall ron the disc: which
causes depression of the glass beam, as
if it was weighted by q tangible sub
stance. The calculation of the absolute
pressure of: the sun's radiation On q
square foot Of the earth, when carried
out to the square mile, gives force OF
ffty-seven tons.

HONOR YOUR Bus1NEss.-It is goo

HONOR Your BUSINESS. 1T is good
sign when man is proud of his work or
his calling. Yet nothing is more COM
mon than to hear men finding fault con-
stantly with their particular business,
and deeming themselves unfortunate be-
cause fastened to it by the necessity of
gaining q livelihood. In this way men
fret and laboriously destroy all their COM
forts in the work, or they change their
business, and 60 on miserably, shifting
from one business to another till the
grave or the poor house gives them fast
grip. But while occasionally man fails
in fife because he is not in the place fit
ted for his peculiar talent, it happens ten
times oftener that failure results from
neglect and even contempt of an honest
business. A man should put his heart
into everything that he does. There is
no profession that has not its peculiar
cares and vexations. Noman will escape
annoyance by changing his business. No
mechanical business is altogether agreea-
BILE. Commerce in its endless varieties is
effected like all other pursuits with trials,
unwelcome duties and disspiriting neces-
sites. 1t is the very wantonness of folly
for a, man to search the frets and burdens
of his calling, and to give his mind every
day to consideration ofthem. They
belong to human life; they are inevitable.
Brooding over them only gives them
strength. On the other hand, man has
power given him to shed beauty and
pleasure on the homeliest toll, if he wish
es. Let IMAM adopt his business and
identify it with pleasant associations; for
heaven has given US imagination, not
alone to make us poets, but to enable all
men to beautify homely things. Heart
varnish will cover up innumerable evils
and defects. Look at the good things:
Accept yourlo as a man dces:a piece of
rugged ground, and begin to. get out
rocks and roots,i to deepen and mellow
the soil. to enrich and plant it. d There is
something in the. most forbidden avoca,
tion, around which, a" man may twine
pleasant. fancies; out Of which he may
! develop an honest pride.-Ezcha'age. O. ~

Radical FalsehoQds Exposed.
SUMTER September, 8.

''''. SUMTER, september, o.
To the Editor of the Neaos and Courier; !:
The attacks of the Union Herald upon
Gen. Hampton would not be worth NO.
ticing were it not that people outside OF
this State may suppose that sheet to be q
respectable journal In q recent issue Of +
that paper Gen. Hampton is charged
with having murdered Col. James Cam
eron, the brother of the present Secretary
Of War, and of. Simon Cameron. The
charge is insidiously made, but means
what have stated. I am now, through
the Kindness Of "a friend in Washington,
enabled to show how utterly and wicked
ly false the charge is. On page 40 of a
work called MARTIAL Deeds of Pennsyl-
vania," by S. P. Bates, will be found the
following: ~ :. -.
JAMES CAMERoN.-At the battle of the
first Bull Run he was of Sherman's Brig
ade, Tyler's Division, and at the crisis of
the struggle bore himself with the great
est gallantry. Again and again he led
his men with the cry of Scots follow me-
in the face of withering fire of pnusket-
ry and artillery until stricken down and
'mortally wounded, expiring on the field
Of his heroic exploits. No mortal man,
says an eye witness, could stand the fear
full storm that swept them"
Is it not an outrage that newspaper
published by a civilized man should re-
sort to such shameless falsehoods for the
purpose of sustaining the falling cause Of
corruption and vice? Does the editor of
the 'Union- He, aid suppose that such
ISLANDERS can fail to disgust every decent
man even in his own party? Can he be-
lieve that the Democrats of this State
will permit his lies to 60 unexposed and
unrebuked? I commend to him the
Arabian proverb: "Lies, like chickens,
always come home to roost."

/, CHARcoolAii1I.MMany years ago I recol-
lect, says a correspondent Of abondon
paper a horse being brought into the
yard Of Joseph Bignal, a celebrated man
for keeping hunters at Corydon, The
horse was very much affected in the wind,
and cond,hardiy move from distress. In
q few days this animal did its regular
work as hunter, with perfect ease and
comfort to itself Tar water was the
cure. Tar is carbon, and charcoal is also
carbon; charcoal in the powder is more
easily given than tar water. / Ihaye tried
it with most beneficial effect, and l think
it stands to reason that the removal of
noxious gases and fatulence from the
stomach Of the horse must improve his
wind and condition. Tar is frequently
given with benefit in cases of chronic
disease of the respiratory organs. but its
effects are totally different from those
produced by charcoal carbon. - =,
A Californiaipapef highly recommends
charcoal for attening turkeys and says
that it should be pulverized and mixed
with mashed potatoes and corn meal, as
we'll as fed to them in small humps. It
mentions that in two lots of four each,
treated alike, and onelot given this mix
ture and the other not, there was an aver
age gain in the weight Of the first Of a
pound and a half each. In commenting
upon. this another writer says: "While
we condemn the practice of mixing the
pulverized charcoal with the other food
for turkeys compelling them to eat it
whether they want it or not, we have no
doubt of the excellent effects of supply
ing them charcoal broken into small bis,
especially when fattening fer market.
We,haye had evidence Of what We say,
and for a number of years have recon-
mended charcoal for this purpose"

back into. their regular work when she
has gone by. She never lacks the NEST

about her, whenever; she moves, caress
her, offer her honey, and cluster, around
her to keep her warm If she is chill.

Newspaper Patronage. al (!

r. There seems ito obe a great many differ
,ent ways, of defining and understanding
the phrase "newspager patronage; and,
as d party interested in a correct deini-

.disquisition ION the subject .by one who

perhaps, las a mirror, ain which certain
parties may be able to "see themselves as

MANY long, any dreary years in the
publishing business has forced the con-
Yiction upon us that newspaper patronage
is word Of many definitions, and that a
great majority of mankind are either
Ignorant of the correct definition, or are
dishonest in strict, biblical sense oflthe
word. Newspaper patronage has las
many colors as the rainbow, and is as
changeable as a chameleon. '''''

The Charleston Journal Of Com
mercc is no longer an imaginary affair.
On the first day of this month it put
i'll a real live, tangible appearance,
and will hereafter greet it's friends
day after day the whole year round.
The Journal Of Commerce starts out
with fine amount ofadvertising and
large bono .fde subscription. 1t is
Democratic in politics, but will be
independent in its views. The build
ing up Of the commercial interests of
Charleston will receive large share
Of its attention. In short, the Journal
Of Commerce will ere long become the
sine qua non of every household in the
the land that desires to keep npace
with the times. It will speak no un-
certain tone, nor regard the welfare Of
South Carolina as matter of serious
momtnt oEly at those times when it's
own interests aie i'll danger. It will
battle in season and out of season for
the emelioration Of the condition Of the
suffering taxpayers. It will not hold
with the hare and run with the
hounds in the same breath. The
miserable quasi Republican policy of
the hc'cs and Courier will find fit-
ting rebukc in the bold and honor
able stand taken by its rival. We
commend the Journal Of Commerce to
every person who desires paper
honest and straightforward in its
tone. Its conductors are men Of hon
or and have never had any connec-
ton with the rings that grew sleek
and fat while Scott and his dclectable
crew were sucking the life blood of
