TriLuiu, A Strange Freak- The New York Ilf raid states that Miss Sarah Ward, who resides at Tompkins- 'ille. Staten Island, visited a New York dentist ou Monday last to have some teeui ‘ xtmeted, and took laughing gas. She remained under the influence of the gas lor a considerable time, and when she recovered the idea seemed to have struck k r that it would be a good joke to fright en her ’folks at home hy telegraphing to 'lie Rev. A. N. Stanley, rector of ^t- Baul s. that she was dead. She accord ingly sent a dispatch to the rector, who "as preaching at the tithe ih observance °f St. Andrew’s day, that she had died from the effects of inhaling laughing fas. 1 fie startling announcement caused great coustematiou among the congrcgution.the young lady being wedi known to them ail. 1 he services were at once concluded, and " ord was sent to her father, who hastened 'o the dentist’s place of business, where he was surprised as well as overjoyed to •earn that hht daughter had but a short Mine previously left for home in excellent '-‘ealth. When asked by her parents what "duced her to send such a dispatch, she that she did it for fun THE PRESIDENT S MESSAGE- W.vsulnotox, December-7.—The Presi dent's message opens thus : “In submit, ting .tty seventh annual message to Con gress in the centennial year of our nation al existence as a free and independent people, it affords me great pleasure to r'c- cUr to tiie advancement that has been made from the lime of the colonies, one hundred years ago. We were then a peo ple nutnberitigT'i'Jy three millions ; now we number more than forty millions. Thun our industries were confined almost exclusively to the tillage of the soil; now manufactures absorb much of tiie labor of the country. Our liberties remain unim- pared. Tiie bondsmen have been ‘freed from slavery and we have become possess ed with tile respect, if not tht friendship, of uncivilized nations.” Graphic and well-worded details follow. The President earnestly recommends that a constitutional amendment be submitted to the Legislatures of the respective States making it the duty of the States to estab lish and forever maintain free public schools for tiie education of ail children iu the rudimentary branches, within their respective (iniits, irrespective of sox, col or, birthplace or religion ; forbidding the teaching in said schools of religious athe istic or pagan tenets, and prohibiting the granting of any school funds or school taxes, or any p irt thereof, either by legis lative, municipal or other authorities, for the benefit, or in aid directly or indirectly, of any religious sect or denomination, or in aid, or for the Letiof.t of any other ob ject of any nature or kind whatever. lie also alludes to the importance of correct ing the evil of vast amounts of uutaxed church property, and estimates that by 18*.K), if unchecked, this property will reach a sum exceeding three thousand mil lions of dollars. He would suggest the taxation of all property equally, except ing only the last resting place of the dead. Our relations with most foreign powers eontinueTh !i satisfactory aud friendly footing. The President is happy to an nounce the passage of an act by the gen eral courts of Portugal abolishing slavery in the colonies. The past year has furnished no evidence of ;ui approaching terminal ion of the ruin oti.s couilict which has been raging for seven years in'* iibn. The same disregaid of the laws of civilized ward,re, and tit.- j ist demands of humility which bare heretofore called forth expressions of con denmation front the nations of christun- dom have continued to blacken the sad scene. Desolation, ruin and ptUage- l f;e pervading the rich fields of one of the most fertile an l productive regions of the earth, aud the incendiary’s torch, tiring plantations and valuable factories aud buildings, is the agent m ilking the alter nate advance and retreat of the contending parties. The President narrates the dam age to the interests of d]\ commercial na tions, especially to those of the United States, the insecurity of property owned hy citizens of the United States iu Cuba. He had hoped that Spain would be enabled to establish peace in her chU- ny. -Because of this hope and frbm au extreme reluctance to interfere in the af fairs of another aud a friendly nation, he has patiently and anxiously awaited the progress of events. The armed hands of eitiier side now occupy the same grounds as iu the past. The President makes a long argument, and concludes : “Arecog- i i ion of the independence of Cuba being, iu my bpiiiion, impracticable aud indefen sible, the question which next presents it self is that of the recognition of belliger ent rights iu the parties to‘the- contest.” After further argument, the President concludes : “The recognition of indepen dence or of belligerency being thus, in my judgement, equally inadmissablc, it re mains to consider what course shall be adopted should the conflict not soon be brought to au end by acts of the parties themselves, and should the evils which re sult therefrom,, affecting all nations and particularly the United States, contin ue, in snch event I am of the opinion that other nations will be compelled to assume the responsibility which de volves upon them and to Seriously con sider the ouly remaining measures pos sible—mediation and intervention.” Af ter a further statement he say'sc “At the same time, while thus impressed. I do not at this time recommend the adoption of any measure , of interven tion.” He adds: “Persuaded, however, that a proper regard for the intere-ts of the United States and of its citizens en titled it to relief from the strain to which it has been subjected by the dif ficulties of the questions and the wrongs and losses which lesult from the contest iu Cuba, and that the interests of hu manity itself demands the cessation of the strife, before the whole is and shall be laid waste and larger sacrifices be made. I shall feel it my duty, should mv hopes of a satisfactory adjustment aud of an early restoration of peace and the removal of future causes of com- j plaint be unhappily disappointed, to ! make a further communication to Con- 1 gresS at Some period not far remote. ] and during the present session what seems to be necessary.” Alluding to the necessity of suppres sing the smuggling carried on through j the free zone, and to the cattle raids on , the llio Grand, the President, says : j “An experiment of au armed vessel [ on the Rio Grande for that purpose is j up m trial, and it is hoped, if not thwart- ; says of the Bi ed by the shallowness of the river and ‘ hU-t accompli-*! other natural obstructions, it may ma- ! useful knowle terially contribute to the protection of also in introducing new aud. useful pro- ' AXAWED BTIXFL UESQE AND UR BRIBED B Y GATE. ” BAINBRIDGE, GEORQIA^fHIWSDAY DECEMBER 16, 1875. Nitaibef li. r*T~ —i of Agriculture: “It much in disseminating the agriculturist and the herdsmen of Texas. Ocean telegraphs are discussed at great length, but no allusion is made to the postal telegraph. Discussing the subject of specie re sumption the President says; “Too much stress cannot be laid upon this ( banis question, and I hope Congress may he induced, at the earliest day practicable, to insure the consummation of the act of the last Gon^ress a& ff?fast session !T briug about specie resumption on and ductious adapted to our climate and is worthy of the continued encouragement of the governments” The President characterizes the condi- tiau of affairs ia Utah as scandalous, and says as an iii'-titnttmi Rolygamy should be neludcs': “As this I shall have the • Congress before my successor is chosen, I will repeat or recapitulate the questions which I deem legis- this session: alter the 1st day of January, 187!), at j of vital i, llpol 'Uin C e, which may be farthest. It would be a great blessing j lateJ amI , ettlcd it till* could lw consummated even at - Thin the State schools be requir an earlier day. Nothing seems to me , , , .. , , . J a I ed to aixord the opportunity of a good | common school education to every chili | within*their limits. “Second. That no sectarian tenets shall er he taught in any school supported by State, nation, or the>b.rOceetls of any and permanent reaction cannot take ■'dace in favor of the industries and fi- I nancial welfare of the country until we \ return to a measure of value recognized I throughout the civilized world. YYhile j v,*e use a currency hot equivalent to j this standard, the world's recognized j standard, specie, becomes a commodity ] like the products of the soil, the sur plus seeking a market wherevrr there is a demand for it. Under our present system we should wan', hone, hor would Wo have any were it hot that the cus-> toms dues are p id ih Coin and because of our pledges to pay the interest on the public debt in coin. The yield of pre- eious lhetals would flow out for the pur chase of foreign productions and leave us hewers of wood and drawer's of wa ter, because of the wiser legislation on the subject of finance- by the nations with whom we have dealings. I am not prepared to say that I can suggest the best legislation to secure the end most heartily recoin me tided. It will be a source of great gratification to be able to approve any measure of Congress looking effectually t./qaids securing r;;- suuiptioii. Unlimited iullatioii would probably bring about specie payments m.ire speedily than any legislation look ing to the redemption otTcgal tenders in coin, but it would be a; the expense of honor. The legal tenders would have no value beyond settling present liabil ities, or. properly speaking, repudiating them. They would buy nothing after ail debts were settled. There are a few measures which seem to me important in this connection ami which I com nend to your earnest, con sidernrion. A repeal of so much of the legal tender act as makes legal tender notes receivable for debts contracted af ter a certain date, to he fixed iu The act itself—“sav iiot'hiter than the 1st of Jan uary, 1877- A hearty‘reaction would set in at once and with it a desire to make the currency equal to what it pur- pots to he. The President elaborates the good effects which, in his judgment, would follow lie suggests second, that the Secretary of the Treasury he au thorized to redeem say ndt to exjeed two million dollars monthly of legal ten der notes, by issuing in their stead a, long bond bearing interest lit three six ty-five hundreths percent of fiehomina-, tions ranging from fifty to oue thous and dollars each. Third, that additional power be given to the Secretary of the Treasury to accumulate gold for final resumption, either by increasing the revenue or decreasing expenses, or both. It is, he thinks, preferable to do both. The restoration of the duty on tea ariq coffee is suggested, also the reduction of the duty on certain articles, such as hardly pay for the fost of collection aud such as enter iuto manufactures. The Pre-iJent suggests that some better means bo found for verifying claims against the government than through the Court of Claims, especially those growing but Of the late war, which he says are iu nearly every instance exorbitant. Discussing the report of the Secretary of War, the President invites special atten tion to the propriety of making three hun dred thousand dollars of the subsistence appropriation available before the begin ning of the next fiscal year ; to the repeal of the law abolishing mileage and a return to the old system ; an appropriation for torpedo trials 03- the corps of engineers ; a permanent organization of the Signal Corps. ^ The cbnditiQh of our navy, at this time, ho says, is a source of satisfaction. Re viewing the details of its defences,as com pared with the navies Of other nations, he says “but neither our continental situa tion nor our foreighn policy requires that we should Lave a larger number of these the tax levied upon any community. Make education compulsory so far as to deprive all persons who cannot read and write from becoming voters after the year iSJO, disfranchising none, however on grounds of illiteracy who may be voters at the time this amendment takes effect. “Thid. Declare church and State fbrever separate aud distinct,but each free within their proper spheres, aud thai all church property shall bear its own propor- pbrtion of taxation. “Fourth. Drive Out licehsed immorali- iy. such as polygamy aud the importation Of women for legitimate purposes. It would see ill as though, how that we are about to begin the second century of out national existence, it would be. a most fit ting time for these reforms. “Fifth. Enact such laws as will secure a speedy return, to a sound currency, such as will comm m l the respect of the world.” Believing that these views will com mend theiiisel ves to the* great majority of the right aud patriotic citizens of the Unit ed States, I submit the rest to Congress.

Neglected and 'Alone—A Child is , Torn by Rats- |Mr!y yesterday morning the attention of a police officer of the Central district was called to a horrible case of neglect to a child. A prostitute named Annie Bown living iu a crazy old structure, at No. 519 Spruce street, has'au infant daughter, to which she is unable to devote as much at tention as should lie giveh. Last night she get ; tht child sleeping in bed iu the second story, and about one o’clock this morning it was heard to scream. No at tention was paid to its cries for some time, until finally the screams were so piercln: and told so plainly of an agony of pain that its mother went up stairs to see what was the matter. As she entered the room two large rats jumped off the pillar aud lazily disappeared in their hiding place:-. On going to the bed the mother found the child writhing in torment. Its facr was cove rwlHvitli !, T Rr.o9 which had also slain c-d'tUe-pillar as the little one tossed from side to side. Iu the cent! of the forehead the filthy animals had torn out a conside rable piece of flesh, and ia several places ott the child* face the sharp teeth had made deep incisions from which the blood flowed with dangerous freedom. A sur. goon was immediately summoned and everything possible done to alleviate the distress of the little sufferer.

In the obituary of Mr. As tor printed iu the Tribune the estimate of his property was given as not to exceed £50.DUO,000.—Those, whose Opinions are ‘Infilled to weight, say that tins is proba- bly nearer right than the larger estfixates. A gentleman, ' UhOsc word Carrie’s weight in matters Of this kind, said that a fair basis On which to figure tvohld be $15,000,000 as tiie amount Of real aud per sonal property left by John JaeOb Astor to his son William at the death of tile former in 1848. The estate Of John Ja cob Astor was estimated at $20,000,000, and the bulk of it was left to Wil liam B. Astor at the time of his death. It would probably be much nearer si 3, 000, 000 than §20,000,000, as the tendeti- cy was always to exaggerate the wealth of a rich man. However, this gentleman said, allow §15,000,000 as the amount left ’William B. Astor. This amount at six per cent, interest for twenty-seven years— the time which has elapsed since the death of Jotih Jacob Astor—wonld have added $24,300,006 to the principal, mak ing a total of §39,300,000. Or, if the amount left William B. Astor was tffiS,- OJO.ObO, the interest at six percent, would be $29,080,000, and a total of interest and principal of $47,080,000. The compound interest and increase in the yalne Of cer tain portions of the property, he fhoQght, would be fairly offset by the taxes and as sessments on property allowed for man}* years to remain unimproved, and losses Of various kinds through depreciation of oth er portions of the real estate and securi ties. Air. A'tor was known to be L very cereful man, preferring small aud sure re turns rather than venturesome risks, which .might bring large returns and might result iu a loss of the capital invested. Were it capable of demonstration, the gentleman said, he would be willing to risk his repu tation for careful calculation in saying that the estate was to-day worth less than over $50,000,000. At the Tax Commis sioner’s office it was stated that it would he a work qf much labor to collate all the pieces of property standing in the name of Air. Astor, and then it would not lie complete, because in many instances the property stood in the name of the tenant, who held a long lease, one of the stipula tions of w hich was that he should pay the t axes. The will of Air. Astor will be look ed for with interest, as possibly giving a fair indication of the w*orth of the estate. tired and fifty dollars worth of clothing Airs.
