We referred recently to the lmmens
quantity OF corn carried by the Baltimore
4 Ohio road to Baltimore from the interior
Of Ohio. These large shipments were
owing to the low rate OF freight-ll cents
per hundred-at which rate to Baltimore
corn could he laid down in Europe at
something like Is cents per bushel. Add
is cents to IS cents, and the price of q
bushel Of corn delivered in Liverpool or
Bremen wouldbe So cents, making very
cheap breadstulTs for the people across the
sea. We observe that Baltimore prides
itself on having grown TO be the fourth
grain depot on the continent, and that only
New York outranks it among the Atlantic
grain ports. New York's grain receipts
for 1873 we're l52, SG2, 097 bushels, Chica-
go's 1856, SOL $40, Bufalo's S4,O4G,052, Balti.
more's 1857, al bushels. Baltimore has
increased its receipts lj2 per cent in the
past five years, u greater increase than
that OF any other point, with the exeep.
ton OF Kansas City, Nc. This growth
promises to be permanent, as Baltimore
has taken nearly half of the G9,O54,33O
bushels which Chicago, Toledo, Cincin-
natl, Kansas City and st. Louis have gain
cd since 1873. Superior terminal facilities
short lines and IN excellent system OF re-
ceipt, sale and delivery are what Balti-
more claims have done the business.

out at as early a day as pos.
sible. There is little or no lnducement
to improve lands held in large bodies. The
temptation Is to resist everything that in.
creases taxation unless 1t brings direct
and immediate returns. This Is one rea.
son why the interior OF our State has im.
proved 30 slowly. These large tracts need
to be cut up into small farms and peopled
with immigrants who are not afraid to put
themselves in close contact with mother
earth. There are scores Of such people in
the East who would be glad to form colo
MES OF fifty or one hundred and settle in
eligible localitiesin this State II they were
only possessessed OF the requisite
information as to the advantages held out
to them. We need II man like Edward
King to write up West Virginia by dis
tricts for Scribnrr or Harper, and thus spread
before the people OF small means in the
North the facts in regard to our climate
soil, water power, timber, minerals, &c.
Meanwhile we have hopes that Mr.. Luta
will be able to enlarge his operations
among the Swiss through the appropria'
ton made by the last legislature. 1t was
to be sure a very modest appropriation,
but il ludiciously expended in scattering
proper information in Switzerland may
bear abundant fruit, Meanwhile we will
be glad to lend our columns to the OLSEN.
~ination OF much useful information as
bears upon this important subject

S~cRIBSER's MONTHLY have received
a bound copy ofthe seventeenth volume Of
this excellent monthly, which includes
tho numbers from November 1873 to April
1870, and as usual we find it rich in illus.
t%rations and reading matter. Scribner has
taken very high rank in our periodical
literature and in its peculiar field has
perhaps no rival in the world. The pub
fishers oun tlat the Q volume,
commencing with the May number, will
not fall below the high standard OF It's
predecessors. A prominent feature will
lie q series of illustrated papers on the
Empire Of Brazil, a country that has Of late
awakened great interest in the United
States as a field for American commerce,
The publishers also announce the early
appearance OF notable papers on the inVen.
tons and inventive methods OF Mr.. Edison.
They offer, as an inducement to new sub.
scribcrs, a bound cOpyof the volume just
closed and n six months subscription,
commencing with the May number, for
four dollars. The address is Scribner &

An anti.pike meeting will be held in

that such q mseting should be called in
the face OF a majority OF $50 in favor o.
pixies, which majority was obtained a.
fairly as any majority could be at a popu.
lar election. Wetrust that men who hon.
estly differ with their neighbors on wha,
was, before the election, the best policy
to be pursued, will not now, because the
result is In opposition to their pre-con.
ceiyea views, make any further attempt to
override the decision at the polls.
We advise the anti-pike men to 20 slow
beneath the heat Of partisan politics and
all other questions that tend to make men

every American heart. Upon that princi,

TnEfactt that subjectlng municipal bonds

TnE fact that subjectlng municipal bonds
10 local taxation increases the rate Of In.
tsrest paid, and in practice returns no
revenue to the taxpayer, is attracting the
same attention in Illinois whichit has at
tracted in the, East. The muntcipalindebted
ness OF that State, city, county and town
shin, amounts y to ssh 81 ,6Ol, and 1t paysan
average rate OF interest OF over s per cent,
and the interest charge is over S4,llT,OO7
but these bonds pay substantially no tax
alton whatever. They are held outside Of
the State where they can not be reached,
or held secretly within its limits. How
little they pay can be best seen by the
fact that while the municipal indebted
ness in the State is s5l, 0OO,O 900, the mort.
gage indie btedness $500, 100000 and, other
bonds are estimated at Sl0O,OOO,OOO, and
all this property is liable to tax, State,
county, city, town and school districts,
the united revenue from 1t is not
5000 annually, and only Sl,lS5,OOO Of
the great sum appears on the State tax
lists. The exemption Of municipal bonds
from taxation would, 1t is claimed, save in
interest a hundred fold the tax now col
lected from them.

him 10 come and see my lands. l have
many tracts for sale OF perfect title, and
guarantee alliands sold, and ask no money

am aware that the want OF title, and the
many frauds on purchasers, have been o
source OF great evil to the development Of

tanning about $4,000 acres Of unsold land.

OF the survey there is coal 6 feet 1 inches
thick, and on the other or southern side 6

mand OF New England for years. | quote
from u report made by n disinterested
sworn officer, under whose sale became o
purchaser.
"The quantity 10 be sold is 81, S4S acres,
and isdiVided into small lots. The whole
tract is well suited to furnish ~immigrating
companies from Europe u compact and
extensive tract Of land sufficient for a
small colony, that tan have their own
churches, their own schools and minister.
ial officers, aud with industry and enter
prise, could soon become a populouS and
prosperous settlement"
The land Is well watered, us may be seen
by the map. The water is clear, pure and
healthy. In fact there IL no part OF Amer.
iCa more healthy. The climate is genial,
and, with prudence, good health is an u.s.
sured fact.
The land is covered with the greatest
abundance OF timber Of the most valuable
and useful kinds, and the minerals, such
rs iron ore and coal in all its varieties, lie
imbeddcd III nearly every part Of the tract,
THE soil is peculiarly adaptedto grazing,
raising corn, wheat, outs; tobacco, grapes,
fruits, and all the necesSaries OF life; and
is especially suited TO the industrial pur.
suits Of persons from high ATTITUDES, and
accustomed to the cultivation OF high
lands. II is the same latitude where
grapes grow in the greOtest abundance in
this entire country, and where our most
successful enterprises in tho manufacture
OF wine abounds."
Town this tract; aud while i cannot
compete with low prices, untitled lands,
yet | am anxious to have many industrious
men who may colne amongst us, furnish.

cooked hat Of independence; and having
corn to sell. Don't accuse inc OF prevent.

Wehaye take liberty Of publishing this
letter OF Mr.. Benefits and hope he will
excuse us for SO doing. 1t will no doubt

We have beentryipgto put inquirers after

How TO Do UP SHIRT BoSoMs.-Take two
tablespoonfuls best starch, add very little
water to it, rub and stir with a spoon into
thick paste, carefully breaking all the
Jumps and particles. Add pint of boiling
water, stirring at the same time; boil half
an hour, stirring occasionally to keep it
from burning. Add piece of enamel
the size Of pea; if this is not at hand use
tablespoonful gum arabic solution (made
by pouring boiling water upon gum arabic
and standing until clear and transparency
or a piece Of clean mutton tallow half the
size of a nutmeg, and a teaspoonful of salt
will do, but it is not as good. Strain the
starch through strainer or piece of thin
muslin. Have the shirt turned wrong side
out ; dip the bosoms carefully in the starch
and squeeze out. repeating the operation
until the bosoms are thoroughly and evenly
saturated with the starch; proceed to dry.
Three hours before ironing dip the bosoms
in clean water; wiring out and roll up
tightly FIRST IRON the back by folding it
leugtnwIse through the center; next iron
the wristbands, and both sides of the
sleeves; then the collar-band now place
the bosom board under the bosom, and
with dampened napkin rub the bosom
from the top toward the bottom, smooth
ing and arranging each plait neatly. With
a smooth, moderately hot iron, begin al
the top and iron downward, and continue
the operation until the bosom is perfectly
dry and shining. Remove the bosom board
and iron the front of the shirts. The
bosoms and cuffs of shirts, indeed of al
nice, fine work, will look clearer and better
if they are first ironed under a piece o
thin old muslin. 1t takes off the first hea
of the iron, and will removes any Jumps o
starch.-Bnckeye Cookery and Practical House
