MUNICIPAL debts in eastern towns or cities or
in the west are two different things in comparing
the wealth of the two sections. In the eastern
states state or municipal debt is a debt due its
citizens, but in the west such debt is usually
due some capitalists living in the eastern states.
1t is so with the western railroads. Over one
half of al the capital of the railroads running
through the west belong to men living in the
eastern states, while they own the. major part of
their own roads. Of the $500, O00, 900 deposited
In the savings banks in 1879 the eastern states
owned all but $50,OO0,0OO and the western
states less than $15.000,00O. Nearly all of this
vast accumulation has been within the past ff-
teen years. Of the national bank capital the
western states own $50, 100000, and the eastern
states S316, 100000. The great national debt is
distributed in about the same proportion. Of
western mortgages on private real estate, the
amount held by eastern men is enormous.

First Romance of the New Spring.
TFrora the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph

It is moonlight on the hill. From out
Of the hill gentle zephyr creeps to rob
the hyacinth of its perfumed breath, and
adown the garden walk the whippoorwill
lends his monotone of sadness unto the
balmy night. Sleep, with brooding
wings, sits silent DER the scene. But
hark it is the tinkling guitar, strummed
by the lonely Augusta. He comes. Be-
meath the vine-clad window in the ghost
ly cleaning he pauses, and up the flower
trellised wall he shoots a melancholy
tenor fraught with the passionate inquiry,
Must [ leave thee here alone?" No
answer returns save the haunting echo
and the low clicking of a distant door.
The scene changes:
1t is the back yard tableau. A white
robed old man bends above chained
dog and soothes his too eager spirit as
he loosens the collar. A low voice says:
"S-cc-eeck him, Bull-take a short cut
around thd BUSH A flash and the
old man is alone. The clatter of fallen
guitar comes from the front; sound
like the rush of a steeple-chase is borne
back, and neck and neck two figures
cross the picket fence to disappear down
the dim perspective of the deserted
street. Then the old man meets Bull as
he returns on the outer walk, and re-

The Zuyder Zee.
TFrom Good Words.]

The Zuyder Zee, being the result of
inundation, is really only about 10 feet
deep, save where the channels have been
deepened, SO that when the pumping
shall have been completed, the land
will be quite Dutch and perfectly level.
The most curious feature of this will per-
haps be that there are certain islands
now, such as Marker, Urk, and Sock
land, the inhabitants OF which will not
have much to do with the mainlanders,
and after some 400 years of history are
proud of their insrlar position; but the
day is coming, slow and sure, like the
sword of Damocles, when their boats
will be superhuities, and they will find
their dikes unnecessary, and their night
watchers can turn in comfortably, instead
of pacing long hours in stormy nights,
waiting to give the signal that the dixie
has burst and their island deluged.

Horrible Scene at am Execution.

James Madison Wyatt Stone, mulatto about
36 years of age, was hanged i'll the jail yard at
murder of his wife on the night of November
9Th, 1878. The gallows was twenty feet high.
with a platform ten feet square and drop Of
about five feet. At lilo P. NJ. the moose was
placed around Stones neck, the knot under the
lett ear. The signal was given, the drop fell
and the body fell to the ground; it was sup
posed the head had slipped through the moose
but III an instant that member, which had been
entirely severed from the trunk, fell from the
moose about four feet from the body. Blood
spurted from the body and spattered the beams
of the gallows. But in two minutes all mus
cular action had ceased. The head was picked
up by physician. The face appeared placid,
and the lips moved, as if to say something.

object from his foaming mouth, while
The door opens and shuts upon the white

Murder WiIIOux.

The discovery of skeleton in a field on the
farm of Samuel Hardy, near the Shaker village
in Warren county, Ohio, has created great ex-
element in that usually quiet neiShborhood. A
man who was blowing uncovered what was first
supposed TO be q root, but which on close in
spection proved to be a rubber boot and that
too, on the foot of dead body. With the body
was found double barTeled shot gun, and III
the clothing, which was not entirely decomLOsed,
were found some pencils, keys, ETC., but no
money. Mrs. VIM. Gritfiths, who resides near
the Hardy farm, examined the grim relics, aud
recognized them as belonging to VIM. j. Lan-
ming, al orphan sent out years ago with others
from Boston, and who found home with the
Gritfiths. On the 9Th of April, 1875, he started
with John Hardy, son of Samuel Hardy, to go
to Monroe station, eight miles away. He had
with him gun silver watch and four hundred
dollars in money. She had never heard from him
afterward directly, but Hardy had told her that
he went to California and afterwards to Texas
Hardy has been arrested, but denies strongly all
guilt.

About thirty tons of fresh meat preserved by
q new process, which keeps the air around the
meat at 4 low temperature, have been brought
to London from Australia in the Strahleven and

Civil war is commonplace incident in South
America, but it is not often that the contestants
are so very civil as the revolutionists who have
overthrow the government of the state of An
toqua, in the republic of Colombia. This COM
munity was on the point of an outbreak when
M de Lesseps arrived there. The leaders had
got their boom well to head, and were just
ready to issue the regular pronunciamento,
when they were appealed to By the authorities
to postpone the affair until the distinguished
guest should have departed. With true Span
ish politeness they complied, and for the credit
of the country abroad, presented to the ener-
getc protector the spectacle of a happy and
united people. As soon as de Lesseps had left
they went on with their revolution, which
proved decided success.

The question of whether oleomargerine is
butter, and whether by law anybody can be pro-
hiblted from selling it as butter, is about to be
tested in the New York courts. Under law of
that state the seller of oleomargerine is required
to stamp it with that name, and for failure to
do so is liable to prosecution. One of the large
companies engaged in the manufacture of the
article has assumed the defense of dealer
arrested for selling it as butter, for the purpose
of testing the constitutionalty of the law. The
claim set is that oleomargerine is in fact but

tanned from cream by churning, and that the

rudder to be used when there is danger of a
collision. Two iron plates bolted together,
with distance pieces between them, constitute
the rudder. Between these two plates is a
third, which can be drawn out at pleasure, il
oreasing the rudder power of the vessel from
thirty to fifty per cent. This sort of rudder is
intended principally for vessels having steam
