the American flag, reversed. At first
sight we land lubbers laughed at what
we thought their carlessness; but we
wept anon as the poor fellows cried
out "We have no bread and no wa
ter; and our noble captain answered
back, 1--WE will give you bread and
water" All, am weeping now at
remembrance of that grandly solemn
sight. Poor fellows, while we were
singing, and laughing, and rejoicing
on our prosperous voyage, their little
steamless craft had encountered fear
ful gales, and her canvass was torn in
shreds, and for eight days they had
been without bread, and with only
pint OF water per day for eight men.
However, it was not more for sorrow
that we wept, than for joy at the sight
we witnessed-The wild, wild waste
Of waters, the little sailing vessel with
tattered canvass, and the glorious
stars and stripes Of our own loved
land flying above her, but with colors
reversed-the noble steamer, with the
British Royal Jack aloft, the one in
trouble, the other conlingito her re-
Lief. AS we looked, we thought of
those lands where the members of one
cast will allow those of another to
perish sooner than be polluted by their
touch, and we blessed God for Eng
land and for America with their chris

TAX ON COUPONS OF THE STATE
BONDS.

The amendment OF the revenue bill by the
Senate imposing a tax upon the coupons Of the
State consols has produced NATURAL enough,
very depressing effect upon these securities
and upon the State credit. Financial circles
have been quite excited by this incident and
yesterday the bank presidents visited the
Legislature to demonstrate against such q
measure and Its very unhappy effect upon our
rapidly recovering credit and financial stand
ing. The objections to this measure urged by
them are very strong. The novelty Of 1t, the
institution OF revenue measure, never before
resorted to by any State, of taxing It's
own bonds, 1t was urged, had an
aspect Of Reputation, which it is of the
first Importance should be studiously
avoided. Whilst the amount that might be
collected from this tax would be very ineon-
Siderable the precedent would be Of vast in
jury In producing distrust and uncertainty
among capitalists. who would be little dis
posed to invest their money In securities, sub
iect to curtailment and reduction through
taxation by the debtor. Such action would
be Reputation In its worst form; the legal
ity and constttutionality Of the tax would be
disputed at law, and though probably adjudi-
Gated unfavorably to the State, would not mod
lily the evil effects Of such provision. The
damage would be done by the mere enact
ment, the existence Of the act, and the tax.
Hard as the straits of the State are to raise
the necessary funds to pay the interest on the
debt and the expenses Of the government,
there Is nothing that can justify u resort to
such measure as this, nor can 1t be made
available to produce any appreciable increase
Of revenue.
Since writing the foregoing we are gratifed
TO learn that the conference committees of
the two houses have, after hearing argu-
nents pro and con on this measure agreed to
strike out the Senate amendment We trust
that this may be the case, and that the flnan-
cial excitement on Carondelet street and in
our bank and money circles will thereby be
aIlayed

70 supersttious people tho predictions of
the Zadkiel's almanacs, SO much believed in
half a century ago, and still popular in some
parts Of Europe, have always seemed more
than wonderful The trick was
easy enough. TIE wizard had only to pre-
diet every month or so the death OF some
distinguished man, and he was sure to hit the
mark as In this century OF great men not q
month, nay, scarcely a day, passed without
scoring the departure Of some sage or states
man Of distinction. AS for predictions of war.
| they we're always in order, as there had not
| been single day from the beginning Of the
| century when the Temple of Janus could
have been closed .....
But these prophets are mere children, COM
pared with our national weather prophet,
"Old Probs." The newspapers that were
wont. not long ago, to laugh at his predic-
tions when Snowy day" scored ninety in
the shade, or when, instead of certain rain,"
a protracted drouth ,f1lieted the country,
have at last given in ara admitted the cor
rectness, the veracity the foresight of our
weather prophet.
His predictions Of our weather for yester-
day, for instance were indisputably correct,
aud show remarkable meteorological fore
sight, far exceeding the weather knowledge
of many distinguished backwoods farmers.
The weather for the West Gulf States for
Thursday, March IA, Is given by "Old Probs''
as follows: Barometer rising or falling; tenn
perature stationary or rising; wind mostly
southerly or easterly; weather clear or
cloudy" On the subject of rain "Old Probs'
preserves sphinx-lke but dignihed silence
and does not say, as he might, that the day
would be ''either wet or dry"
When the hero In "Caste" returns from the
Crimea to find baby at home that has arrived
since his departure for the wars, and is called
on to guess the sex of the wonderful child, he
suggests girl, and, being corrected, hints at
the possibility of the infant being boy. This
remar kable guess Is greeted with applause,
and he is considered ever after as little less
than a wizard
We think "Old Probs' predictions OF yester-
days weather fully as wonderful. His asser-
tion that the weather would be either clear or
cloudy shows him to be solid and trust
worth Y man, on whom our people can conf
IDENTIFY count.

| Iowa Is the ultra Radical State of the
Union. New England ideas and thoughts have
been transplanted there. and seem to have
found the climate thoroughly congenial. One
| Of the main issues of the last campaign In the
State was the temperance question. A strong
temperance plank was inserted i'm the Repub-
lican platform. This plank, however, was not
sufficiently strong and emphatic for the tee
totallers OF Iowa. They, insisting on more ag-
gressive measures, ran an Independent prohi-
billion candidate, who had the honor OF receiv-
ing the largest temperance vote ever cast In
this country for Governor. These facts show
the love that the Iowans bear to the cause of
temperance. An incident which occurred the
other day at Wilton, In that State, shows still
more conclusively the intense detestation that
the people Of Iowa entertain toward whisky.
The Murphy movement invaded Wilton
some time ago and met with signal sue
cess. Every person in that little town
signed the pledge except one young man
named G. B. Spencer. Spencer defed the
Blue Ribbon Temperance Lodge Of Wilton,
rldiculed the teetotallers, and got drunken
than ever before. The people became indig-
nant at this obstinacy on his part, and the
lodge converted itself into vigilant COM
mittee to gently persuade the inebriate to re-
form. Spencer has received a number of let
ters from these Ku Klux, notifying him to
reform or leave the country; announcing that
they mean business, and that If he wants to
save his neck he lad better goto some whisky
community. These letters recall circum-
stance that occurred in the village a short time
ago,when young girl, who was slightly crook
&c, was publicly tarred and feathered by num-
Der Of pious and indignant ladies. Spencer
is of course alarmed at the threats of the
temperance bulldozers. but will not leave,
and calls on the authorities to protect him.
There seems no doubt of the fact that the
people Of Wilton are very much incensed
against this black sheep, and will do him bod
lily harm if he does not depart They are thor
oughly aroused and equal to anything in the
holy cause Of virtue and temperance, even to
tar and feathers or lynching
Evidently in Iowa temperance has q differ
emit meaning from that given it by the lexi-
cographers-"bein temperate"

The Kansas City Times says: 1--WE
desire to remark once more that, after
such a succession of wet seasons, wind
ing up on the 4th of March, 1873,
with the last of ten wet moons in suc-
cession, it is more than probable that
we shall have dry summer, and that
those who plant early this spring will
be wise. There is prospect now that
farmers will have most favorable
weather this month for putting in
oats, spring wheat, spring barley. etc.,
and for preparing corn ground for
early planting in April What with
new river routes, and questions that
promise to keep all Europe in line OF
battle for years to come, We believe
that the farmers of our section will
command fine prices for all the pro-
duce they can raise for sale next sum-
mer and fall.

For the first time in many centuries
Rome saw last Sunday the browning
of a sovereign Pontiif whose sover-
eighty is as purely spiritual as was that
of Peter himself. True the new Pope
inhabits one of the most magnificent
palaces in the world, while it is every
way probable that Peter was indebted
for shelter and food to some poor
Christian artisan living in some OBJ
scure, crowded alley of the Roman
East Side. But Leo XIII, holds the
Vatican only by the suAerance of the
Government that seized the Quirinal
from Plus TX, and with it all the
States of the Church and the Eternal
City itself; and he is liable to be
turned out at any moment. Times
have indeed changed when it is judged
prudent, if not necessary, that a new
Pontiff shall assume the triple crown
in private in the city where his prede-
cessors have reigned almost from the
days of Constantine.

for the relief it has afforded them.
In the Sun Of Dee. %, there is an
article calling attention to the use of
rock candy and rye whiskey as . cure
for consumption.
I wish to relate . conversation that
I overheard in C. B. Smiths drug
store, Newark. The wife of one Of
our principal citizens had called to Or
der the necessary articles to prepare .
quantity Of the mixture mentioned,
and on being asked what she used it
for, she said: ut i the best thing in

almost cured my husband, who has
been IN invalid for years With chronic.

spent thousands of dollars In vain to

Sun, and, remembering that my father
once said that the Sem had saved his
life BY telling him how to cure cholera,
I had hith in It, and I only wsh that
