ONE day last week Schenectady
man cashed draft for $500 at bank,
and received $500 in small bills. which
he put in his pocket, thinking by its
size that the package contained the
ftil amount. He was leaving when the
cashier handed him out the balance,
$500. in new, crisp five-dollar notes.
The man took them, and supposing
they were advertising notes. distributed
them among bis friends. He was
astonished at the eagerness of all to
secure them, and was stunned when
attempting jokingly to pass one in a
store he was informed that the bills
were good. He spent all that night
and the greater part of next day in
rushing around collection the bills he
had given away.

slavery IN NEW ENGLAND.

It appears that system of slavery
much worse than that abolished in the
South exists to-day III New England. 1t
is not called slavery and creates no sym
uathy in the breasts of such philan-
thropist as Wendell Phillips, because
the slaves are white and are not sold on
the auction block. nor held as chattels
The Hartford Times, published in
Connecticut, says that all through New
England. ia every factory village,
samples Of slavery may be seen, and
with the EXCEPTION perhaps of that
degraded feature of the Southern evil,
the traffic IN human flesh. an infinitely
worse species than the negroes ever
experienced. In Norwich. the head
quarters of abolitiouism, there are
children of the tender ages of eight,
nine and ten years employed In the
factories eleven or more hours per day,
and earning from fifty cents to one
dollar per week. Under the Southern
system the slaves had to work, but
under the factory system they have to
work and starve. The fact that they
have their liberty avails them nothing.
Nomiually they are free, but in reality
they are slaves. They are obliged to
work for what they can get, as being
penpiiess. an attempt to beg their way
to some other place in the hope Of
lettering their condition would only
increase the number of tramps.
Now that slavery in the South is
disposed of effeetually, and thu negro
is guaranteed political equality with the
whites, would it not be we'll for
Northern philantrophists to turn their
attention to these factory slaves? The
fact that they are white children is not
their fault, bat their misfortune.

A DOS.H.aW.

10 the Editors Of the Dispatch: 1t is to
be hoped the bill offered by Mr.. Smith, Of
Amherst, declaring dogs property, will not
pass. That dogs are a great nuisance
throughout the country is admitted on all
hands. Yet the Legislature, in its wisdom,
has refused to pass such dog-law as would
rid Us Of it in q great measure; but, in
stead OF that, it is proposed to pass law
making the nuisance even more intolerable.
"When asked for fish, they would give
us n stone" II the idea is to raise revenue
by this bill, it will fail, as property must be
taxed according to its real value, and not
upon any arbitrary valuation. And rs not
more than about one dog in a thousand is o
any value, nine hundred and ninety-nine
OF the thousand would have to be listed as
worthless. and could not, therefore, be
taxed, as believe there Is no way Of CAL
culating percentage upon that which is
Of no value. 1t must be seen, therefore,
that the dogs we wish to get rid Of would
pay no tax, whilst those OF any value,
when taxed as property at the high
est valuation that could be placed upon
them, would yield nothing worth speak
ing OF. 1t would not compensate for the
trouble of listing. IL may not bave &C.
CURED to the gentleman that as IL is no1U
w
hands, as any one who chooses to do so may
get rid OF sheep-killing dog by killing him
with impunity, whereas if the dog is de-
clared to be property any person who kills
a dog (the property OF another) on his o,e',
land will be liable to prosecution under the
"act" against destroying or iniuring real
OF personal property unless that act be so
amended as to provide otherwise.
Why can't we have q general law re-
curing that every one who keeps a dog
shall take out license for so doing? 1t
seems to me that an act OF legislation some
what similar to the ordinance Of Richmond
requiring dogs to be licensed would yield
considerable revenue to the State, and
would very much abate the nuisance, Of
which all have good reason to complain,
and would not be at all in conflict with the
Constitution. AMELIA.
