THERE are more farms in the United
 States now than in 186O-because of the
 tariff. The value of farm products is inf
 nitely greater now than i'll 1S6O-because of the tariff Manufacturing establish ments have increased in number sin, lS60-because of the tariff. So the nro- tectlonists argue. The argument can he carried further. There are more saloons no than in 1860; this blessed result we might say flows from the tariff. Hang ings are more frequent now than in 1860. the duty on hemp has undoubtedly had something to do with the increase. The late war was charged to the democratic party; the tariff was responsible for it Two presidents have been assassinated under protective regime.

Found Alive in a Stone.

ONCE found toad in such an enclosure. It was in the year 1S4O when was at work on the property now owned by Robert P. Getty. We had been getting out some sandstone and came to chunk nearly yard square. When the piece was rolled over and broken small hole was found near the centre, and from this q live toad jumped out. The sandstone was porous, and for that reason, probably, the toad had been enabled to live. I have no means of knowing how old that one may have been. The sandstone must have formed around the toad and have held him fast there f,,r two or three years.-Yonkcrs Statesman.

HOW re LIVE LONG.
Colonel Perkins, Ghe Wonderful Gem.
 kamaP1an.

tenarIan.
 The Norwich Bulletin speaks of Colonel Perkins, the agile centensrian, of that city, as 'tthe oldest railroad treasurer in the world; the oldest fireman, for he ran with the old Torrent; the oldest club man. (an honorary member of the Arcanum club, which will give him right hearty reception on Monday in their spacious house on Web ster Heights, he having accepted their inyi- tation;) the oldest soldier of the war of 1812, passenger on the first steamboat on the Hudson river, run by Fulton, and propelled by engines invented by Watts, the English in- ventor of steam engines; the organizer of the first Sunday school in Norwich; and our first citizen in everything which is honorable and worthy of respect" Colonel Perkins was g handsome youth and great beau. He him. self refers to his makeup during his years of military service as that of dude, and many old men-and women too, for that matter in New London county delight to describe the handsome Major Perkins of seveny-five years ago, He was six feet tall, wore silk stockings, top boots of choicest make, gilded knee buckles and 8 swell watch fob.
 Colonel Perkins has no other formula for healthy and long living than this simple one: The philosophy that takes. events calmly, the cultivation and exercise of the sense of hu. nor, the control of the passions, and the proper use of the honorable emotions, the enjoyment of any healthy food at regular hours and plenty of sleep. If it is this form ula which has made this centenarian as wig orous as man of 80, bearing no appearance whatever of the number of years that have not yet burdened him, it is simple and easy rule for men to follow.
 Colonel Perkins was married 69 years ago, his bride being Miss Lathrop, and she, at the age of 80, still survives to rejoice in his companionship. They celebrated their gold- en wedding in June, 1869.
