no HORSE TO LEVY ON.
(ASheuiNe Journal. I

lASheuWe Journal.
At the recent conference of the
NJ. e. Church, colored, Rev. Henry
Oliphant, for the past six years
presiding elder Of Zion church, was
assigned to a circuit near Newport,
Cooke county, Tenn. 1t appears
that this shepherd in his dealings
with his fellow-men had forgotten
the divine injunction, "Pay what
thou owest." When he got ready
to remove his goods and chattels,
his creditors formed ring to block
further progress of the sable
evangelist till he had paid the
utmost farthing. A warrant of
attachment was procured and put
into the hands Of the sheriff, au-
thorizing him to levy on the parsons
horse. While this conspiracy Was
going on between the law and his
creditors, the meek and lowly apos-
tie was not mapping. Having hired
a horse and wagon, to which he
hitched his own, he loaded up his
effects and started for the field of
his future labors. Just below town
he was informed of the legal meas
ures that,had been taken to secure
his horse Depositing his plumber
with Frank Martin, colored, he
mounted the steed of contention,
and taking the back track, passed
through town at 10 a. ~, and at
noon was reported ut Turnpike,
154 miles distant, evidently making
one of Jackson's flank movements in
order to reach his base of supplies.
The sheriff seized his effects, which
panned out in the following order
Two pairs of well-worn pants, one
family Bible, a lye chopper, Baxter's
Saints Rest, two feet Of stovepipe,
one gross of religious tracts, one
pump auger, Aubergine Vestiges of
Creation, ten gallon runlet Of
sorghum, Sermons of John Wesley,
half dozen gimlets, one bottle Of
trrpentine, one bucket of tar, and
home made boot jack. In his bill
of sale the sheriff covers the cata-
logue with the following headline:
For SALE-Tar Treacle, Turpen-
tine, Cody books and Gimlets.

PAYING IN PRoMsEs.-"I brought
up some cotton to day and sold it,
but had to pay taxes, buy some
provisions and settle up my guano
account and am dead broke. I had
intended calling round and paying
for my paper, but haven't got the
money just now--will be in town
again some day and see what I can
do for you.
"Hope deferred maketh the heart
sick" and we are tired of such empty
promises as this-the very east wind
of indefiniteness. Why have we to
wait until every store account,
guano bill aud Tux execution are
satisfied ? If the paper amt worth
the subscription price nobody will
force you to take it, but don't call
around at the Office and say you
want it and that you will pay for it
and never do it. Our subscription
money, although It is but two dol
lars, is of as much consequence to
us us the merchants store account
or the guano agents bill. Publish
ing q newspaper is no child's play
1t is constant, steady expense.
It takes time and talent and money.
It is m every day, allyear job,
through storm and sun, week in
and week out. The profits Of the
business, even under TIE most pros-
perous conditions, are very small.
Come up, then, and pay your sub
scription, pay it promptly, pay it in
full and pay it in money. Sell your
wood to somebody else and bring us
the cash, turn your potatoes into
money, drive your ducks to some
other market. You wouldn't think
of paying your physician in pinders
or q lawyer in 'possum grease--why
bring such trash to publishers and
try to palm it off on them for money
they have worked for and honestly
earned. II will pay you III the fall
and I'll call round gain" amt worth
a cent. You cant buy box of
blacking or pound of cheese with
any such currency.-A6beuiIle Me-
o2iune.

CONTRASTS.

During the eight years from 1868 to
1876 inclusive, this State was in the
hands of the party whose leaders and
managers are now quartered IN the Gus
tom House. During those yea the ex-
penses of conducting tie State Govern
ment amounted to the enormous sum OF
S5O,4l9,l17. Under Democratic rule du-
ring the eight years proceeding the war;
the expenses of the State government
amounted to only $l4 4,976.427, and in the
last mentioned years the value of the
taxable property of the State was proba-
bly, foul times as great as during the dis
aS:rous wears of Radical administrations
We present another contrast. In 1870
the taxable property of the State, though
greatly less than it was prior to the war,
was still assessed at $251 1856, II o.. In
1876 it had deprecated to $l93,9O4, AIS 80.
! Thus it will. be seen that in the years
when the State was impoverished by war
and the destruction of property, eight
| wears of Radical government cost the
people S35,442, 500 more than eight years
| of Democratic rule when the State was
rich and prosperous 1t will also be seen
that while the State grewsin wealth year
after year under Democratic administra-
ton. under Radical rule its property
sfrunk in value in six ycars-from lS'o
to 1S75-$55. .391 ,507 16. These figures
show net loss to the people of Louisiana
hy eirht years of Radical government OF
nearly $91 100000, to say nothing OF the
city, town, municipal and State debts
which have been entailed upon us and
the next two or three generations.-N. U

FOR EVER.
BY J. BOYLE O'REILLY.

"Those we love truly never die,
Though year by year the sad memorial
wreath,
A ring and flowers, type of life and
death,
Are laid upon their graves.
For death The pure lite saves,
And If. all pure is love; and love can
reach
From heaven to earth, and nobler les
sons teach
Than those by mortal read.
"Well blest is lie who has a dear one
dead;
i friend he has whose face will --never
change,
4 dear communion that will not grow
strange;
The anchor of a love is death.
"Thc blessed sweetness of loving
breath
" i'll reach oiir cheek all fresh through
weary years.
For her who died long since, ah! waste
not tears:
She's thine unto the end.
"Thank God for one dear friend,
With face still radient with the light of
truth,
Whose love comes laden with the scent
ofyouth,
Through twenty years o. DEATH"

The boat is 40 feet over all in
lcnght and ten loot beam, and al
so ten foot depth in hold. As she
now lays her deck is about five
inches out Of water and can be
sunk down to even waters edge by
filing her water tanks. The only
thing above her decks is her smoke"
st2c6, which is made similar to
steam chlmncy-three thicknesses,
braced " stays each thickness.
The pilot house is underneath the
deck, and is projected oy aug|c-
irons 10 glance the balls. The pi-
10: has an oval hole, about five in~
ches long and :hree wide, to sec
from. The vessel when in action,
is all bat,ened down at the halches
making h,r wate.-tight. She has
two return boilers setting forward
and protected by shea'ing ou's'de
and inside. Tine engines are of
description invented by Capt
Ericsson. and are low pressure,
two 24-iLch square cylinders, mag"
ing $50 revolutions per minute.

Thare is also a large cxhauster for
furnishing the men with air, run by

the stern which forces the torpedo

The torpedo is pu. in this tube and
a round o ate screwed on. The air
forced by m schine forces it through
| u door in the bow and discharges

is worked by levers: with a pres
! sure of 200 pounds. The tube is
30 feet from the bow. The tor"
pcdo does not explode until it
strikes the vessel which it is aimed
at. The shape OF The boat is like

There are AS patients at the insane Hospital at
tue present time and the number Is gradually iu-
Creasing. Every available inch of room is IN use
and still the wards are too crowded. 1t is esti-
mated that for sl5, 900 extension could be put
on the present building which would accommo-
date some - patients and enable the officers to
take comfortably of all who would require
treatment at the hospital for some time to come.
The additional expense vi taking care vi the eX-
ira number would be comparatively small
This ftom Augusta cores pondeut Of the
Portland Press, is solid sense, though in strong
contrast with the feeling at Augusta last winter
that a new hospital, in another part of the State,
is an imperative necessity. For fifteen thousand
dollars accommodations for one hundred addition
al patents be provided, and the present super
vision, medical attention, kitchen, Laundry farm,
water supply, etc, can be extended over this adj
ditional number of patients SO easily that the in
crease Will hardly be noticed. With the large
amount of property IN Augusta available fr this
purpose, it seems the height of folly TO saddle up
on our tax burdened people an additional tax Of
half million OF dollars TO erect a new insane
hospital, when the demand can be 80 much more
economically met by the mode indicated in the
item above quoted-Bridgton Ne,rs
