•*It may os well be uuderstocal at once
«W- all n'l-irtcd interview* of IletaM re
porters with the President are the wild
fabrications of a wretched aet of Bohe
mians whom that journal employs, and
who would be turned adrift by any ether
intry- The personal ad-
the Herald, its disgust-
;.i. ' and its 'bogus' news all
render its thorough ilisgrace
trv.os most intelligent Amer-
d it. As for
a few more cent* to the 27 on tl
of their earning* which go to support the
lB * Government.
But it i* notable that in the course of
this lecture on economy the President
never drops a hint about his well-known
purpose to relinquish, on his part, the
provision for doable pay, and to compel
tho members of Congress to do likewise.
We fear thi* retrenchment is not going
to begin with the heads of family, and
therefore it will be a failure. There will
ho no retrenchment, but on addition to
expenditures, which are already more
than three times as great as they were
under the last Democratic administra
tion.
Well, the Democrat* of thi* country
would not quarrel very fiercely even with
those expenditures, if by the tariff they
did not tax us 80 cents to get the other
20 cents into the treosnry. But where
taxation is laid, not primarily for rev
enues, Imt to protect this and that “in
dustry" by correspondingly raising the
price of the goods made—it is this cruel
and abominable practice which consti
tutes the real burden of our taxation.
It is this that makes living so high that
the other taxation by governments. Fed
eral, State, county and municipal, comes
with crushing effect upon the people. If
Congress would givo the country a tariff
tax of not more than 23 per cent., it
would bring abundance of revenue, and
at tho same time practically redneo tax*
at ion about one-half.
But, evidently, from tho tone of his
discourse on specie payments, tbo Presi
dent's hood has been crammed by the
old-timo protectionists, who hang the
solvency of the country not on the gene-
eral prosperity and solvency of the peo
ple, individually and collectively, but on
tlio single point of koeping up a balance
of exports and imports with foreign na
tions.
And then how do they propose to keep
up this balance? Why, by a policy which
would become a Turk or a Dutchman or
a Hong merchant of tho Inst century—
that is. by putting nn exorbitant tax on
import* anil no cutting them down, by
sqnecxing a double price for them out of
the people. That is a simple, easily un
derstood arrangement—open to the com
prehension of a savage. A more direct
method would lie that adopted by tlio
Dutch East India Company, who used to
burn tho good Java coffee when the crops
were too heavy. Another method would
he to station ships around the const and
order off tho cargoes of foreign goods
when goods are roming in too freely.
It nover occurs to these philosophers
and statesmen that heavy trade one way
makes heavy trado the other; and if we
import fri>cly of English goods we always
export freely of American prodnets, and
thus tho scales of importation and expor
tation are for more likely to keep a bal
ance by the natural operations of trade,
tlian when moved in a rude way with the
foot or the hand of intormeddle-omc and
oppressive legislation.
The people of tlio United States could
manage this debt very well and even
support the horrid extravagance of Bad-
teal administration, without a groan, if
the Radicals could leave trade to its nat
ural operation, and not harms* it with
sinister laws and obstructions, to benefit
particular classes of people nt tho expense
of others. If they would tax for revenue
atone the tax could bo easily paid and the
revenue would tie abundant. But when
they tax to bring twenty cents into tlio
revenue, and divide out the other eighty
among the “ protected industries of the
country." this is where the shoe pinches,
here is where the food producers are hurt.
This brings the bloody sweat out of “the
nation” so-called. ,
Guy Fatvkcs.
It turns out that the young Guy Fawkes
in the London Zoological Garden is a fe
male hippopotamus. Wednesday, Nov. ft
was hor birthday, slio being jnst one
year old. and the English naturalist,
Frank Bucklond, colled to wish her “many
happy returns." He writes in “Lund and
Water, using the masculine instead of
tho feminine gender, possibly for the
reason that the name is masculine :
“ I chanced to call at breakfast time,
and was fortunate enough to witness the
operation of suckling. Tho water in tho
bath was os door as crystal, and I was
aide to observe eveiything that went on.
Tho mother lay herself down on hor side,
turning over like a huge bacon pig
asleep. The young one stood on all fours
at tho lmttom of the tank, and took his
food very much aft*w tlie fashion of a
calf. Ho stayed under water from half a
minute to a minute and three-quarter*;
he then cstne to tlio surface, took a deep
inspiration and sank ngnin os quiet as a
frog. It was interesting to see with
what little splash or noise these gigantic
creatures can lift their heads to the sur
face of the water. After lie bail finishod
his breakfast, Prescott, tho keeper, en
ticed Guy Fawkes and his mother out of
the water; the little ono is as tame,
playful and docile os a kitten. We made
him out to li« about six feet four long,
and two feet ton at the shoulder*. Ilis
back is a ahity black odor, but his
cheeks, chest and legs are of a lovely
pink salmon color. Wo calculated hjs
weight to bo nearly ono ton. and his
mother would make and weigh about
three little hippos. He oats and sleeps
well, and besides his natural nourish
ment his meals consist of chaff, bran,
mangel-wurzel, scalded oats, biscuit,
and sugar. Ho is voiy fond of anything
sweet. He has already learnt to beg for
food; he puts his head out between the
hors, opops his mouth, and pricks up his
little cars whep he wants to beg. The
gape of his mouth is about eighteen
inches; he has already a most level/ set
of white teeth, and the tusks begin to
project out of his pink gums. His mother
is very watchful over him, and if she
thinks any one is about to disturb her
child, hisses loudly like a big snake.
Every morning when it is moist and wet
he and his mother are let out in the bath
outside; when it is dry and frosty they
are kept in the house, as the frost would
crack and porch their delicate skins.
When in his monring both he is very
playful, and plunge* about like a por
poise. The pair of hsppos sleep on the
straw all night, but they spend a great
portion of the slay in their bath in tho
house in a sort of semi-deep. They float
up to hroathe apparently without an
effort, like corks rising to tho surface.
When under water they keep their eyes
wide open after the manner of crocodiles.
■When the mouth of tho young one is
wide open, it will be seen that the tongue
is arched directly upward so as to form a
compact valve, which prevents the water
going down the gullet. The old father
in the next den talks to his wife and child
by means of sonorous grantings, and
tficy answer him. The father’s face is
much lony* and sharper than that of his
wife, and his eyes and nose are much
more prominent- I understand from Mr.
Bartlett, who kindly allowed me a private
interview with the 'hippo?, that another
baby is expected about next April, and
that Barnum is most anxious to obtain it.
I doubt if he will 5 let him go and catch
a wild baby hippo for himself. The ex

hippos do-* Mr. Bartlett and Prescott,

j of taxes are collected just now in Lou
isiana, and under what sort of laws Kel
logg sends forth his steamboats, his
Gatlin guns and his armed metropolitan*
to enforce their prompt payment. The
New Orleans Times, of November 1ft l>«i
an article showing that a piece of prop
erty worth $5,000 in 1850, but which now
would not fetch more than S2J>0ft was
assessed in that year $10 for State
taxes, but now has to pay $100. This
is an increase in twenty-three yean of
ftOOO per cent., i. t. where a man paid
$1 in 185ft he is now obliged to pay $20.
An atrocious feature of the law under
which these enormous taxes are col
lected is a provision by which,
after thirty days, the delin
quent tax-payer “ forfeits his
right to bring suit before any justice,
parish, or district, or State court, and
every court having jurisdiction within
the State shall deny and refuse to issue a
civil process of any kind or nature what
ever in his name cr for his behalf until
Ms taxes are paid. In other words, if
this twenty-fold tax, laid by a bogus leg
islature for the support of a fraudulent
government, and in possi ale payment of
the interest upon swindling debts, should
by any chance not lie paid within thirty
days after three advertisements in some
obscure paper, or failing that, by hand
bill upon tree or gate-po-t. the delinquent
tax-payer is outlawed. Kellogg’s metro
politans may enter into and possess Iris
property. He cannot go to court to eject
them. They may cast lum into prison
as an absconding debtor. He rannot ex
tricate himself; lie lias no standing what
ever in court until lie "shows liis pass.”
Such is the freedom of which native
Americans can boast in this third quarter
of the nineteenth century, this age of
progress and enlightenment, wlionthrone?
are tottering throughout the world, and
the oppressed gieople of Europe are look
ing to our land for their mode of future
governments.
A writer in the New Orleans Times of
November 2ft gives in round figures the
hardens under which Louisiana groans.
The State debt is al>out thirty millions,
while that of the city of New Orleans is
twenty-fivo millions. Add to there tho
small estimate of five million? for the out
side parishes, and wo havo a total of
$80,000,000. Tho private indebtedness
of planters, in tho way of mortgages
and advances from foreign capitalists on
crops, cannot lie less than $10,000,000,
making a total of $100,000,000. on which
interest must be paid continually. Tlie
report of the Shite Auditor for 1870
; iloced the entire taxable property of the
1 tat-' at $231,218,017. but so great has
been it* depreciation sine, owing to Rad
ical mi-rule and intensified taxation, that
it would not sell to-day for moro than
$100.000,000—thus, showing, that under
tho Kellogg administrat ion, all the prop
erty of the State would not bring under
the hammer, tho amount of debt? for
which it stands mortgaged. The total of
taxes for the current year is $12,728,000,
while tho accumulation of back taxes
amount to nearly a? much more—giving
an aggregate of taxes, to Is? now collect
ed by Kellogg's bayonets under the above
infamous law, as about one-fourth of the
saleable value of tlio property. These
taxes are euhaneed by the gross injustice
of taxing tho same property over again,
in ti.o luind* of tho holdor and of the
mortgager. -V inherit'd from Iris father
a plantation worth $10,000, but years of
adversity havo given B u mortgage on it
to the same amount—not it? original
value, but all it is worth under present
misrule. So A must pay taxes on $10,000
and It must do likewise. This grievance
exists throughout tho State to a degree
not dreamed of in the more fortunate
commonwealths. So much for tile rural
district?. Of New Orleans, the writer in
tho Times says:
“ As to the urban population of the
State, particularly the inhabitant? of
New Orleans, it may lie safely asserted—
which assertion would be confirmed by
their almost unanimous testimony, if ne
cessary—that hardly any ono of them,
whatever may be Iris pursuits, bis capac
ity, hi* energy, and the ample amount of
property he owns, has been able to cover
the current expenses of the year, not
withstanding the strictest vigilance and
economy. For the first time, history,
which is said to repeat itsulf hut bio of
ten, will have to record a fact without a
precedent—which is, tiiat in t iroes of pro
found pi-nee, in the nineteenth century of
the Christian era, among people claiming
to be the most free nnd prosperous of all
nations on tlie globe, there is a city of
200,000 souls, called New Orleans, and
far-famed for its commercial advantages,
where two-thirds of the rovenno of the
property therein situated would not bo
accepted as a gift on condition to pay tho
taxes, and that there are in it daily
scenes of distress, whieli are a? heart
rending as any invented by tho fertile
imagination of Dickens.”

The farewell chapter in the history of

train over tho Council Bluffs railway on
their way to tho Indian Territory, where
government has decreed they are to re

the small hours of tho night, when the
savages were lying upon tho car floor
asleep, it xa? found to be rather up-hill

A Marrow liscapc for NIr. Cali-

A Mr. Cobbler, of Memphis, had an es
cape recently that would make a fitting
parallel to the “Dream Woman” of Wil
kie Collins. Mr. Cobbler was awakened
from hi* sleep by the pressure of some
■s hand on hi? left breast, from which
tho nnseeti fingers were palling off the
bed-clothing. Thinking it was his bed
fellow, Mr. Armstrong, he gently seized
the hand, whereupon its owner made a
desperate offort to disengage himself, and
inflicted two severe stabs in Mr. Cobbler's
right side. The form of a man was now
seen to rush toward the door, and, run
ning down the stairway, glided out into
the darkness. By thia time Mr. Cabbler
was bleeding profusely. Two gentlemen
who had been aroused by the noise of the
struggle, hastened to turn on the gras
and have a physician summoned to tho
aid of the wounded man, the extent of
whose injuries could not at that time he
accurately ascertained. Upon examina
tion, a Spanish stiletto was found stick
ing in the bed-clothing, where it had
been entangled by the murderous fiend
in his haste to get away. The point of
this deadly instrument‘was red with the
warm blood ot his intended victim, whose
life was accidently raved by the thick
bed-clothing. It is not pleasant certainly
to awaken lddcnly and find an unseen
assassin's h.e.l feeling for one's heart-
Mr. Cabbler was shot by some one un
known once before. He is said to be an
honest, industrious man, with host* of
friends, »»i the persistency with which
his life is sought is unacconntabl*. He
is not fatally injured.

Accident to Submarine Cables,
Thosqwho predicted that submarine
cables would bo destroyed by the inhabi
tant? of tho deep soa were not far from
being right after all, as tlie cables thus
far laid have suffered moro or less from
tlio attack of a species of teredo (tlie
ship worm), from whale3 and from un
known fish. Tho use of a preparation of
Ellicin, in the form of soluble gluss, in the
compound, applied outside of all the ca
bles, is said to he a sure protection from
the attack? of the persevering shell-fish,
and tho other causos of destruction to
cables are of such rare occurrence that it
is not necessary to provide against them.
The Cuba and Florida cable was once
damaged, as was supposed, by tho bite of
some large fish, and a similar accident
happened to the China cable. The spe
cies of lance carried by the “saiv-fish”
once penetrated the Singapore cable, and
wa3 broken off in the efforts of the fish
to extricate it. A singnlar accident also
happened to the Persian Gulf cable, at a
point 118 miles from shore, where the
cable hung in a deep loop over a subma
rine precipice. After the manner of the
hog which scrapes off parasites by rub
bing his side against a post or rail, a
whale used the cable to free himself from
barnacles that had fastened themselves
to his tail and he probably, by a fillip of
his tail, snapped tbo cable around his
body, and, thus suspended in the water,
died. The cable wa? wound up to the
repair ship with great difficulty, and tho
remain? of the whale, firmly secured with
two and a half turns of the cable around
his tail, were brought to the surface. The
tail measured twelve feet across, and was
covered with barnacles. The cable across
the Yar in tho Die of Wight was once
broken by a bullock, which, falling over
board, got entangled in it. Such acci
dents, however, are uncommon, and the
only living enemy which all cables have
to meet is the persistent little shell-fish
that bores his way through wood and
gutta-percha in search of food.—Phila-
Jiiphia Ledger.
War.
What war is, wo of this generation, in
thia oonntry, know. The man who blind- him. ~ DtTri ngliis reign theKhan
of Russian shells tumbling into hi? pal-
| ace. bad taken counsel of hit fears, and,
' with a few Tiuvhcian horsemen, hud
escaped to the desert. Finding refuge
in the Turcoman country, he awaited
Gen. Kaufman's response to his offer of
surrender. That commander sent him
word that if he returned within a week
he would have nothing to tear from tho
Russians, but. if lie would not return,
then the Russian General, who could not
allow the country to remain without a
government, would set up another prince
in hi? stead. Soon the 11th of June, the
Khan, in answer to Ins summons, re
turned to Khiva, accompanied by his one
hundred followers, .and was conducted
into the presence of his conqueror. The
army had by this time left the town, and
was camped outside in a large garden
belonging to the Khan. This gar
den was filled with fruit trees, and
under some noble elms the Rus
sian General had pitched his tent.
There was a little fountain—not much in
its sray, but a wonderful comfort after
our desert experience—and a pond, with
•luck and geese and monstrous pelicans.
Here Kaufmann lived; hero he first mot
the Khan. As soon as the arrival of the
Klian was announced we all gathered
about tlie Russian General* curious to
see the despot who had mado so much
figure in tho Russian mind. He rode
humbly enough into the garden, where
tew days before be bail been supreme,
followed by about twenty soldiers. When
he came to the end of a short avenue of
poplars that led to the Russian tent he
dismounted from his richly caparisoned
horse and advanced on foot. .Taking off
his tall sheepskin hat he bowed low, and,
ascending the little platform, knelt down
before Kaufmann, who was seated on
camp stool, and offered to kiss his
hand. This tho Russian General re
fused. He withdrew a little fur
ther on the platform and remained
kneeling. It should be observed
that these people do not sit liko the Turks,
cross-legged, lint Like a kneeling posture,
with the weight of tlie body thrown back
on the feet, which are twisted inward and
pressed npon the ground flat. In this
posture they eat, drink and converse, so
that the kneeling was not an evidence of
humility. In years he was about 30, with
a pleasant expression of countenance when
not darkened by fears, as at present;
largo full eyes, slightly oblique; aquiline
nose; a thin black beard shading' the
face; a mustache covering a heavy, sen
sual mouth; in body, powerful; six feet
three inches high, broad shouldered and
cighing, I should say, between 230 and
300 pounds. His raiment "was a robe of
bright blue silk and tho till sheepskin
cap of tho Khivan country. He was pale,
and sst patiently before tho General,
scarcely daring to look him in tlie face.
Here be was at last, this Governor of
Turkestan; this famous Tarim Padishah,
as ho is called all over Central Asia,
(Touching at the feet of this Minister of
the Czar, was tho tho terrible Khan of
Khiva. The two formed a ctirions con
trast. Kaufmann, very small in size,
looking storingly, almost with a smile of
satisfaction, upon his enemy, formed a
■ sicture of the superiority of mind over
srute force, and civilization over barbar
ism.
INTERylEW BETWEEN TnE KIIAN AND THE
RUSSIAN GENERAL.
General Kaufmann said to tho Khan:
I have come to see you at last, as I wrote
you I would do throe y??ars ago.” The
Khan answered, “Allah ha? so willed it. 1
No,” said General Kaufmann, “you are
mistaken; this is not the work of Allah
it is yonr own. If you had listened to
my counsel three years ago and auswered
my just demands, you would not have
seen me here. If yon luul token my ad
vice, Allah would not have so willed it.”
•The pleasure,” said the Khan, with an
Oriental bow, “of seeing the Tarim Piv
dishah is so great that I could wish noth
ing changed.” General Kaufmann, srith
an ironical smile, answered, "I assure
yon the pleasure is mutual. TeU ino
wliat yon wish to dot 1 ” “That,” said the
Khan, “I leave to you to decide in your
groat wisdom. If I could Irish for any
thing it would be to become a subject of
the Great 'White Tsar (the name given to
the Czar in Central Asia).” The General
auswered. “Very well 1 You shall
not be his subject, but his friend,
though all depends upon yourself. The
Great White Tsar does not wish your
throne; ho only wishes you to under
stand that ho is too great a Tsar to be
trifled with. He cannot tako revenge;
having shown you his might he is ready
to forgive yon, and let you retain your
throne under conditions which you anil I,
Khan, will di.?cn3S another day. “I
know,” responded tho Khan, “I hare
done wrong in not granting the just de
mands of the Russians, but I was igno
rantly advised. I will know better in
the future. I thank tho Great White
Tsar and you, illustrious Tarim Padishah,
for your kindness and forbcaranco, and
will always he jour friend.” “You may
return, then,” said the General, “to yonr
capital. Re-establish your (government,
and let tho Minister of Justice preserve
order. Tell your peoplo to return to
their work, and they will roceivo no
harm; that we are neither barbarians nor
robbers; that wo do not come to carry
off their wealth nor offend their women.”
Thus, with some few question.? and
answers of courtesy about each other’s
health, ended the interview, tlio Khan
saying, as ho left, that ho thought tho
Tarim Padishah was a great and good
man, and ho should always love him.
THE KHAN BEGINS TO GOVERN.
After this there were other interview?,
at ono of which tho Khan reviewed tho
Russian troop3. It was curious to ob
serve the astonishment with which he
watched tho filing past of tho Russian
army, with its solid, regular tramp, short,
quick shout, moving liko machines, with
out turning their heads. At a second in
terview tho Khan wa? informed by Kauf
man that ho could hold his throne upon
condition of paying an indemnity of
about .£300,000; possession of the right
hank of the Oxus to the Russian do
minions ; tho complete abolition of sla
very, the liberation of 40,000 slaves; tho
proclamation of free trado in the purest
sense of that term; tho withdrawal of
all custom-house duties, and the removal
of all disabilitiu3 on Russian merchants,
who should onjoy the same rights os the
Khivans themselves. To these condi
tions the Khan readily subscribed, only
asking for time to pay the indemnity.
Under tho orders of tho Russian
commander, a divan, or council of
state, wa? formed to discuss the
ways and means of carrying out
this treaty. This council wa? composed
of the Khan and three of his ministers,
together with three Russian officers well
versed in Central Asian affairs. This
council was not only to carry ont the
treaty, but to advise tho Khan upon the
future government of his province, the
best way of collecting taxes, and to raise
money for the indemnity. Kanffmann
told the Khan that he must not be of
fended with his council; that this was
the very way I10 himself was governed;
that even the Great White Tsar himself
never took any measure without first
asking advice of ministers. The Khan
entered into the arrangements srith great
zest, as the business had a charm of nov-
so on, increasing A2.000 every two years,
until it reaches J230.000. at which figure,
it is to remain until the whole sum is
paid- Interest is to be paid at five per
cent., and the whole buto, principal and
interest, is to be defrayed in twenty years.
Gen. Kaufmann's reason for increasing
the payment was that commerce will ad
vance so rapidly alter Khiva is open to
the Russians that the Kahn will be bet
ter able to pay £30.000 ill a few years'
time than he can pay £15,000 now. My
own thought is that long liefere the sum
l? paid the death of the Kahn or some
loral and political event will enable the
Russians to find a pretext for quietly
occupying the left bank of the Oxus, as
they now occupy the right, without re
sistance or commotion, and so become
absolute masters of tho whole of the Klii-
v.on dominions.

THE XAllX AND HIS REVENUE.
I learn tiiat the private revenue of the
Kahn is £30,000 a year. Luxury is un
known to him. although he has a large
household and a good many wives; yet
the manner of life is simplicity and fru
gality itself. The only expensive luxury
he can indulge 2? an occasional new wife
and an addition to his stablo of Turco
man horses. I heard that the Khan re
ceived a supply of wine from Russia every
year, npon which ho frequently got ex
ceedingly drunk; but as the soldiers
found no wine bottle? I am disposed to
donbt this story. I take it tiiat the
whole revenue of the State is £50,000,
and that out of it the Khan haa been
compelled to support his army and pay
