| with this view the trainers OF the constitution
left the Legislature free to enact the needful
measures, after providing that the obligations
given for the purchase of necessary supplies
OF food, clothing, medicine and hire of en-
ployes should be receivable for back taxes
and licenses.
In 1878 the appropriation for the benefit OF
the Insane Asylum was as follows, viz:
Machinery. $4,000; furniture, $4,000; mainte-
NANCE $4,000; blankets, etc, $4,000; total,
$4,000. Unfortunately the general fund OF
that year was largely overestimated; so
much SO that we find about $240,0 Of general
fund warrants now outstanding and unpaid,
with no prospect of their payment except
through the provision in the constitution
making these warrants receivable for back
taxes and licenses and convertible into "baby
bonds OF course the asylum suffered by
the general depreciation of these warrants.
In 1879 the appropriation for the asylum at
jackson was $4,000, at New Orleans $4,000
In addition to the latter amount the city OF
New Orleans appropriates this year for the
New Orleans asylum $19, 500.
Apparently, appropriations Of SCI, 800 per
year should amply provide for the insane Of
State and city warrants have heretofore for
large part OF each year been subjected to
ruinous discount, causing loss to the asy-
lums OF quarter and even half of their
appropriations.
The asylum at New Orleans now contains
AS inmates, q very large proportion OF whom
are residents Of other parishes OF the State,
very small proportion being residents
Of New Orleans. Both Of the institutions
have suffered greatly in the past for want Of
necessaries and comforts, and financial en-
barrassments have sorely beset them. The
aid extended within the past year has, how
ever, greatly improved the condition of the
asylums and the inmates, and we hope that
the General Assembly, at It's first session, will
take up the subject at it's first meeting, and
make such definite provision for our insane
as will hereafter insure them that care and
comfort due from Christian community

The negroes in Memphis are beginning to
pay dearly for their folly In remaining In the
city, Notwithstanding the efforts made by the
authorities to induce them to go into the
camp provided for their accommodation. Ola
total OF twenty three new cases Of yellow fever
reported yesterday no less than sixteen were
negroes, while Of a total Of seven deaths
three were blacks. At this rate 1t will not
take long to convince them that they are not
yellow fever proof and that the safest course
to pursue, il they wish to escape 1t, will be to
90 to the camp.

Gen. Fitz John Porter intends to await the
awakened sense Of justice Of the government.
and will not make an effort to get relnstated
in the rank of which he was so unjustly de-
prived. In a recent interview he said Ii such

trial. said he, ''and not l. 1t is for it to rem

done Gen. Porter seventeen years ago; but it
will be done, it is safe to say, sooner or later.

The stalWarts are much concerned over the
action Of the State OF Alabama in educational
matters. According to their calculation, ''the
poor negro" must be horribly oppressed over
there, but they are unable to figure this out
from the late report Of the superintendent Of
education. This shows that $4,000 was ap-
propriated for school purposes, Of which
$210000 was apportioned to 214,OOO white chill
dren. and $4,000 to $4,000 blacks, there
being 1886 white schools and 1860 black.

The present Canadian tariff was designed
to cripple and injure American interests In
that country and prevent the importation Of
American manufactures. It has done nothing
of the kind. Canada is now full Of American
goods. On the other hand, English trade
statistics show falling off Of one-third In
English exports into Canada. The new tariff
OF the Dominion has had a decidedly differ
emit effect from what the trainers intended.

The Walter A. Woods Binder.

Although self.binders have come
into general use but two years ago,
and only last year came into extensive
use in Minnesota, the Walter A.
Woods Binder has already made re.
cord of which the manufacturers and
their agents may justly feel proud. A
very large number of these machines
were sold in this vicinity and through
out the State in 1878; and the fact that
the largest farmers in the Northwest
have already placed their orders with
the manufacturers of the Woods, for
what machines they need the coming
harvest, speaks volumes.
Dalrymple has given his order for
thirty more of these machines, which
will make 100 in use by him in the
harvest fields of 1879. Others have
given orders for from to Is, accord.
ing to their wants. I will mention
only few Of those that used the
Woods in this vicinity last year, any
Of whom will gladly testify to its
merits: Martin Penning, town Home;
Hon. G. G. Brandt, town Sigel; Geo.
VOlmer, town Stark, who cut and
bound nearly all his lodged and tan
gled grain with it and says he would not
sell it for $500 if he could not replace
it with annther just like it. John

do not claim that the Woods will
do as good work in lodged and tangled
grain as in upright, but LIDO claim
that it is by far ahead of all others for
saving wire. simplicity, durability,
and superior cutting apparatus. It
does not, like some other binders,
crochet the bundles together in a
string of eight or ten at a time, but sep.
crates them nicely from each other as
it should do. It is in fact the 9. Father
of binders. For COMPRISING the
bundles it will always stand ahead Of
all others.
I have just received car load of
these machines and have one set up in
my Office. Come in and see it, and I
shall take great pleasure in explaining
all about it and give you terms, prices,

up he endeavored to get onto the ca.
boose, was dragged some distance and
finally knocked off by coming in con.
tact with bridge. AS soon as his
absence was discovered, which was
not until the train had proceeded some
two miles, the train was backed up
and Mr.. Anderson was found prostrat-
ed on the bridge where the accident
happened. He was taken to Sparta
and there put on the passenger train
going west. After receiving some
medical aid at Winona Mr.. Anderson
proceeded west and arrived home the
same evening. We understand that
he is considerably injured about the
face aud breast.
