Painful Accident.

One of the Russian refugees named Hotter,
while engaged in telling trees at the settlement
near Pisg,h on Thursday evening last met
with very painful and serious accident. A
tree that he was cutting fell sooner than he ex-
pec!ed and caught him in its descent, falling on
both of his legs and breaking them both just
above the ankle Dr. J. W. Millar was sum-
mon; d who set the fractured limbs. The doctor
said that it would be some time before the mai
would be able to walk again, if ever he recover
ed the use of his limbs.

New Disease I'm Horses.

The Centreviile Observer says: "A new
horse disease called ''dry epizooty" has broken
out among horses in the upper part of the pen
insula, particularly in the vicinity Of Smyrna.
1t is different from the spizooty of several
summers ago, contagious and more fatal. The
ma ni.estations as with those of the first APP
pearance OF this disease, are those of n severe
cold, fever, but no cough, hanging down 81
the head, loss of appetite and in addition,
cracking Of the mouth and very sore tongue
raw in fact, SO sore that the animal when per-
suadrd to can eat only bran ma.hes or some
thing of that kind In extreme cases the horse
becomes swollen and rigid, so much so that il,
cannot lie down. 1t is said that the disease
can be readily managed, if treated properly
and taken in time, but the mode of treatment
is not stated
We learr from the Cal.ert Journol of last
week that Mr.. Alexander Sommervile, of that
county, lost five valuable young horses recent
ly, it is supposed from the above mentioned
cause. 1t will be well Ter our farmers to be on
the lookout in case tue disease should break
out in this county.

n POSITION.

The Philadelphia Times announces
that 1t has obtained authentic and ex-
elusive information IS to Mr.. Tilden's
attitude toward the Presidency. 1nas-
much as 1t has not applied for Q copy
right land the information Is hardly
worth it), we take the liberty Of repro
ducing it:
1t is the business of the Times to fur
nish the news and to give 1t correctly.
After great labor and the most eonsum-
mate journalistic strategy, we ave oh
tanned the only authentic report OF MI.
Tilden's position in relation to the Pres
idency. 1t can be tersely summed up
as follows:
l. Mr.. Tilden will gladly accept the
nomination for the Presidency-if he
can get it. .
2. He will write one of the best Of
political epistles, to be read in conven-
ton, declining the nomination If he
can't get 1t.
8. He will continue to maintain his
present proclaimed indifference about
the Presidential nomination, and prove
that he doesn't care q button about
it, by-doing his level best 70 bunch 3
Tiden majority in Convention.
The foregoing three points cover the
whole ground Of Mr.. Tilden's attitude
Oh the Presidency, and all other reports
are bogus Copyright not applied for.
If the Times is correct and the course
it has marked out for Mr.. TILDEN is
followed, it will at least prove, contrary
to the idea of the Times, that Mr.. TIL
DEN is really the most modest, retiring
and discreet candidate on the track.
1t will be refreshing, too, to find that
we have one candidate in many years
whose sense of propiety will not allow
him to erect his bureau, put up his sign,
and open telegraph communication
with the country in order to keep his
candidacy before the people.
II this thing of q personal scramble
for the presidency must be continued,
to the modification of the American
people, let the scramble, be at least, hid
by q thin veil of mock modesty-let it
be conducted behind the curtain rather
in the glare of the foot.lights.
One fact, at least, we can cherish to
the eternal credit Of the American peo-
pie, and that is, they have never elected
a man to the presidency VINO has made
al open, personal eanvass or contest
for the office. We hope they never
will.

Nomen's Work.

AZ AsfAH A'HNFNFNAH
Equal pay for equal work isone OF the de-
mands made BY the discontented telegraph
operators in behalf of the women employed
by the companies. In a general way this
sppeal by women never fails to enlist thu
warm sympathy Of the public, yet it isa
singr lar fact that in despite of the almost
universal concurrence in the justice OF this
demand, women rarely earn the same
wages in work where they are brought into
competition with men. There must b. a
sufficient reason for this significant fact,
ard i. may be that the explanation
sgiyen in the answer the Western Union
Conn any have made TO the demand that
tie woman operators be paid the same as
the men. The Company say that the
inevitable result of equal pay would be to
drive out Of their employ all the woman
now in their service, for the simple reason
that, taking il all in all, women are not so
useful as men, who can be availed of for a
greater variety OF service. They concede that
there are women who are Just as capable as
men for telegraphic work in a general way,
yet taking the whole sphere of possible
work, men are more vari1usly available and
would always be preferred, wages being
equal. This is not unlikely the true ex
PLANTATION Of the reason women so uniformly
receive smaller wages than men, when ap'
parently doing exactly the same work.
Their range of capabilities, physical or
mental, or both, is not equal, and the man
learns more simply because of his superior
capacities. OF course there must be in
stances where this is not the case, and in
such women may justly demand that sex
shall count as nothing in fixing wages.
Where, on the other hand, men would in
eyitably be preferred at equal pay, a v
scale OF wages for women sh0uld be vel
coined as the door giving them entrance to
that line OF work.

WEALTH CREATED BY TAXATION

The surplus revenue, then, Is supplied
from the agricultural and industrial pro-
ducts Of the country. When translated
into these products the surplus collected
during the fiscal yearlSS2-3 represented
49, 81 ,O57 bushels of wheat, or more
than oue-iourth of the total crop; or
$780,, 4O4 tons of pig iron, or about six
seventies of the total annual production;
or :, a02 600 bales of cotton-One-third OF
the total erop.-NetV York Herald.
Our taxes are dug out Of the ground
as every other species of wealth.
Yet it is q common notion that when
the National treasury vaults are laden
with, gold and silver coin drawn from
the people in the shape of taxes; when
there is q great surplus of revenue in the
hands of the government it is COM
mon, we say, in such case to believe the
government rich and the country pros
porous
Such q condition rather represents Sc
rious and unnecessary burdens upon the
taxpayers. So much of the produce Of
the country has been absorbed by the
government. The country is made
poorer by every dollar that Is drawn by
the government from the people, 1t
represents the price of.so much corn, or
cotton, or wheat, or wool, that the pro-
Queer has earned and has surrendered
without compensation.
We can devise NJ scheme Of finan.
ciering that does have its ultimate re-
sources In the products OF the country.
