Tools and Teams.

With some, time and labor appear to
be almost as worthless commodities as
they possess, so little do they attempt
to economic in them. To men who
properly appreciate their value,
their waste through thoughtessness
or almost criminal neglect, is astound-
ing. Here is man, who, instead of
supplying himself with proper set of
tools and implements, begins the season
with those that are nearly worthless
The wagon breaks down, the plow
gives out, the harrow breaks, the culti-
vator will not work, and he goes
through the season, mending first one
thing and then another, and finds at
the end that he has actually wasted
enough in time TO have bought new
ones at the beginning. 1t is never profit
able to use worn-out tools and implc-
ments on the farm. When an i'm ple-
ment is worn out it is reasonable to
suppose that it has done all the work
that IL was originally intended to do,
and we ought TO be satisfied.
Another man will attempt to get
through the season with team that is
entirely unfit for service. 1t creeps
over the ground like an elephant on
slow parade, and does not do, because
it cannot, one-half the work that good
team would do, but eats just as much
and causes continued vexation to the
owner. If there is anything ON the
farm more improbable than another,
except poor farmer, u is worn-oul
team. 1t would have been better if the
matter had been attended to before
this, but it is never too late to get rid
of poor team. Better spend week
in hunting for good one than to con.
tinue with one that cannot do ope-hal
the work that good one would do

Soon they were abreast Of each other,

Nothing is more common among boys

their quiet and gentle habits. A COW

Who Owns the Bonds.

In the Treasury Department there
is an interesting set of books printed
and bound, and each about the size
of Webster's Dictionary. But they
are net open to public inspection.
These books contain the name and
residence of every holder of register
ed four per cent. bonds in the
United States. The amounts ran &c
from fifty dollars. which is the small.
est, up To SOL 100000, which is the
largest sum owned by one person.
This latter sum Is owned by VIM. H.
Vanderbilt, and upon it he draws
500, 900 in interest every ninety days.
To get this information for the new
census General Walker caused the
bonds to be examined by a detail Of
clerks. The result is that we find
SCI ,000,0 900 of these bonds ewaed in
the Eastern States, S221 ,0O0, 900 own
ed in the Middle States, S4S, 200. 900
owned in the Western States. and
$l2,00O,00 in the Southern States.
These figures are in round Numbers.
1t is thought by the Treasury officials
that the entire public debt IL held in
different sections in about the same
proportion. A striking fact in con.
nectien with these figures is that w.
IL. Vanderbilt Individually owns
more registered U. s. bonds than are
owned in all the nineteen Western
States and territories ! These States
and territories have population of
ever twenty millions, yet there 10

hence. 1t is said that he is worth
more than half of this sum now. In
speaking of the rapid accumulation
of wealth in the hands ola few, which
has been more strikingly illustrated
in the past few years than ever be
fore, member of the Senate, who
has been long in public service, told
your correspondent recently that be-
fore the war he never expected to
live to see an American who was
really worth $50.000,000. He then
thought that the time would @yentu-
ally come when citizen could com
mand this amount of wealth, but he
thought it would not be realized
during the present century. But
already, with twenty years remain
ing of the century, there is one citi.
zen at least who is generally believed
land with the best of reasens) to be
worth three times this amount.
Outside the Vanderbilt family
there IL ne single individual who
owns over S5,000,000 of registered
bonds. Those " no OWE one million

portions of the country have over

1t is reported from Texas that at
the ensuing session of the legislature
of that State provision will be made
for the creation of three new States,
as stipulated in the terms of the Joint
resolution annexing Texas to the
Union. 1t is held that if the Leg s.
lature creates the new States no OBJ
lection can be made to their admis-
sien, as the joint resolution of Con-
gress expressly provides that "new
States, Of convenient size, not ex-
cseding four in number, in addition
to the said State of Texas, and hav-
ing sufficient population, may here
after, by the consent of said State, be
formed out of the territory thereof,
which shall be entitled to admission
under the provisions of the federal
constitution" Only the consent of
Texas, it is claimed, is necessary, as
the consent of the United States is
given in advance by the terms of the
resolution of annexation. There is
sufficient population in Texas to en-
title each of the three States to two
members of the House, whereas one
only is necessary, and the fourth
new State, it is held, can be created
at any time hereafter. Three new
States out of Texas territory would
give the Democrats six more Sena-
tors. 1t would be q good thing for
the Democrats, to be sure, but no one
believes that the Republicans in
Congress would stand by the literal
terms of the resolution of annexa-
ton. If, as reported. the Texas leg
islature makes the three new States,
as proposed, the six gentlemen upon
whom Senatorial hOnors may be con
ferred will have good tune waiting

A VILLAGE BURIED UNDER
SNow.-A man named Cooper arriy-
ed near Berryville, Clarke county,
Va, on Thursday evening, and was
found insensible in the snow. On
being restored to consciousness he
stated that he had come from the viii
lage OF Paris, near the sumrait of the
Blue Ridge mountains, to procure
relief fer the distressed inhabitants.
lie stated the place was buried in
snow, and that three hundred people
were there in danger of psrishing
from cold and the lack of provisions.
His own house was deeply buried,
and he took his wife and child out OF
the second-story window and placed
them in his fathers house, which
was not so deeply buried. In one
house a poor widow and one child
were found to be dead, but an infant
was still alive. The people were all
collected in few houses, so as to
sconomize the wood on hand, but
they required supply of provisions.
Cooper started on Tuesday morning
on horseback. The next day the horse
gave out, and he travelled the re-
manning distance on foot. A large
four-horse sled was despatched for
Paris loaded with provisions. The
STERN commenced on the Goth of De-
cember, and for forty.eight hours
the snow descended. Since that time
the village of Paris has been cut off
from communication with the neigh
boring towns. until Cooper reached
Berryville.

One British journal, at least, has
the manliness to speak out in denun-
citation of the statistical frauds which
were made the basis of the Halifax
fisheries award. The London NeacS
declares that the vitiation of the sta
tistics vitiates the award itself. and
that the whole question must be re-
opened. If the British government
takes equally high ground, the affair
can be very readily settled.
