The mints of the United States turn

sand silver dollars dating the mouth of
May.
Tee business of nailing lies has com
menced. A good sized orator will nail
about a hundred a day, and he will
make during .the same period about
five hundred for somebody else to nail.
The weakness is that it creates no de
mand for nails.
OtJT of 277 strikes in Great Britain
during the past year, only four proved
successful. In seventeen cases compro
mises were effected, and in 256 the stri
kers yielded their demand completely.
It may be inferred, therefore, that strik
ing has been, so far, a serious and los
ing experiment with British laborers
f A terrible tornado passed over San
dersvi'le, Washington county, on Thurs
day at 2 o’clock. The Catholic church
was blown down, and the organ in it
entirely demolished. Loss about $3,000.
No other damage done in the town ex
cept the destruction of trees and fen
cing. The loss in the country is sup
posed to be considerable.
Ah American writing from Spain
urges the shipment of labor-saving im
plements there. Spanish farmers plow
with the end of a piece of wood about
five inches thick, as was done in the
middle ages; sowing and reaping ma
chines are unknown, and grain is not
threshed. Oxen tread it out, and it is
winnowed by women, who toss it into
the air to scatter the chaff.
If the the three pending appropria
tion bills are detained at either end of
Pennsylvania avenue longer than this
week they will crowd close upon the
fiscal year that they are designed for.
The new fiscal year begins the first day
of next month, and if the pending bills
are not laws by that time, there will be
no provision for the maintenance of the
army, or of the chief civil departments
of the government.
A joint meeting of the National Den
tal Asscciation, {late Southern), Geor

four days. This, with invited guests
from other States, will make one of the
largest and most beneficial sessions of
the dental profession ever held* in the
United States.
Reports received at the general land
office in Washington show that, during
the months of January, February, March
and April last, as many acres were ta
ken up as ever before in any single
year, which indicates an unprecedented
and encouraging increase in the volume
of immigration. It appears, moreover,
from statements recently prepared at
the land office, that there are 724,311,-
477 acres of surveyed public land yet
undisposed of, and the enormous aggre
gate of over 1,000,060,000 acres that
have never been surveyed.
Diabolical Incendiarism. —Thomas-
yille Enterprise: On Saturday night
some one burned the bridge over the
Little Ockolockonee river, a short dis
tance above the Henry mill. A slough
near by, that had been filled with sha
vings, timbers, etc., was also set on fire,
evidently for the purpose of burning
out the filling and rendering the slough
impassable. The bridge had just been
rebuilt since the late rain, and was in
first rate order. We hope the guilty
party will be found out,
The Hawkinsville Dispatch wants to
know if sheep carry concealed weapons
A merchant of that place recently
bought several small sacks of wool,
and during the process of emptying the
sacks, an old rusty loaded pistol fell
from onet of thim. It is quite a mystery
how it got there, and theidea was sug
gested that perhaps the sheep was car
rying the weapon in its wool to protect
itself against dogs, and the wool being
long, it -was so completely concealed
that it was clipped off with the fleece
without attracting the attention of the
shearer. Of course no one'suspects
that the pistol was ever put in the sack
to increase the weight of the wool.
A horrible revelation of one phase of
New York life was brought out by the
death of Patrick Geltings, an octoge
narian, who fell dead a few days since
in a delectable locality known as “Hell’s
Kitchen.” His son and daughter were
both found stupidly drunk in the sta-‘
ble where they lived, while in one cor
ner crouched the aged mother, also in
toxicated. The officer who first looked
in on this scene went out to get assist
ance, and, in his absence, the drunken
son attempted to carry the body from
the yard into, the stable, but fell, his
father’s skull being fractured in the

elements was very severe; slates were
smashed by ruthless hands) pet policies
were upset; the schemes of party lead
ers who had ulterior designs were scat
tored to the four winds of heaven, and
now that n calm has set in, the world
may go on as usual; customary occupa
tions may be resumed, and people may
make up their minds that the new re
bellion, so far as the Buckeye State is
concerned, at least, has been postponed.
Two gallant soldiers will control the
destinies of the state during the next
two years, and the principles of popular
government will be fully vindicated.
But no sooner had the storm king
loosened his grip on Ohio than he be
gan to agitate the stal wait pines of
from the smiling plains and verdant
farms of York to the wild and trackless
forests of Aroostook, there is noticeable
an nnusnal commotion. The Green-
backers, who held the balance of power
last year, and broke Blaine’s bold on
the masses, have thrown their castor
into the ring and gallantly challenge
all or any competitor to dispute their
claims to supremacy. Their candidate
needs no introduction to the voters of
Maine, for he made a good fight last
year, and stood the test of the most bit
ter partisan slanders and came out of
the fight “second best.”
The Republican leaders have begun
their war-cry, and the battle will be
fought on their side, at least, on the
worn-ont bloody-shirt platform, hatred
of the South, and an effort to re-open
the sores of the late struggle, which
fourteen years of conciliation and
friendly intercourse between the two
sections have healed. And here will
come the very interesting question:—
“Who will be the standard-bearer under
the ensanguined flag?” Hitherto Mr,
Blaine has had complete control of the
party machinery and its manipulators.
He could, from his seat in Washington,
issue an ukase which was as arbitrary
and as effective as any edict of the Czar
of all the Bnssias. But those days
have gone. New elements have sprung
up which have crippled the great polit
ical dramatist; and not the least of
these, nor the least embarrassing to
him, in the present year, is the Grant
boom.
Mr. Zachariah Chandler, he of the
fragrant breath, is now custodian of the
present administration. He has, in
company with Bobeson and Logan,
whipped Mr. Hayes into submission.—
Mr. Zachariah Chandler has a son-in-
law in Maine who is out of employment,
by the grace of God and the votes of
his abused constituents. His name is
Eugene Hale. He was “brought up by
hand” in the Bepnblican party, like
Philip Pirrip in the forge of Joe Gar-
gery, and as much by the hand of
Blaine as of anybody else. Blaine’s
influence becoming weak last year. Mr.
Hale was relegated to the obscurity of
bis home in Ellsworth, and his chief oc
cupation at present is watching the de
velopment of the inoffensive radish and
trying to explain to himself the myste >
rious circumstances which combined to
lift him from his natural position as-n
village lawyer into a congressional seat
and into the family of a cabinet minis
ter.
Mr. Zachariah Chandler is a Grant
man, first, last and all the time. He
naturally wants the movement to boom
in Maine, and he would like to have his
son-in-law get astride the boom and
ride into power again. Now Mr. Blaine,
on the other hand, is aBlaineman. He
has his eagle-eye fixed on the White
Honse, and watches his chances as in
tently as Mr. Chandler would watch a
demijohn. He is still a professed friend
of Eugene Hale, but is not quite sure
that he could control the little jack-in-
the-box, and keep him loyel, with the
strong influence which wonld be brought
to bear on him from the Grant crowd.
Assuming then that Mr. Blaine can
control the actions and deliberations of
the Bangor convention, to be held June
26. what will he do? Will he put Mr.
Hale in nomination and so give the out
side world in general, and the Bepnbli
can party in particular, the impression
that Maine, is for Grant? It is a diffi
cult and delicate question to settle, and
only a man of Mr. Blaine’s boldness
and lack of principle could success!a lly
grapple with it. We hpve no doubt he
will secure the larger slice of the credit
of puttinsr the candidate in nomination,
whoever lie may be, bat he mast also
expect to be largely instrumental in his
defeat; for it is recorded that the Be-
pnblicans have lost Maine, and will
never recover it os long as Blaine and
Hamlin hold the machine. Mr. Blaine,
as-a manipulator of the state politics in
Maine, has seen his best days; as an as
pirant for presidential honors, he is at
the end of the line—the rear end.—
What he may do at the Bangor conven
tion, therefore, will have bat little sig
nificance.—Boston Globe.
TAXATION THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD.
. The Chicago 'Times has been studying
the question of taxation throughout tile
world, and has made some curious dis
coveries. We of theUnited States may
think ourselves heavily taxed, but we
get off comparatively light as compared
with some other nations. To begin with,
the broad proposition may be laid down
that everything, every action, is taxed
some way or other. In this country
man has to pay the government a tai
should be choose to boil a little com to
make himself some whiskey. This tax,
however, has become natural to fis.
Some of the European taxes, however,
wonld seem strange and tyrannical and
wonld doubtless be resisted were any
attempt made to enforce them here. In
France, Germany, Italy, and indeed all
the continental countries, tobacco and
salt are government monopolies, and
yon can buy your cigars from no one
bnt a government agency. Nearly every
European country has an income tax,
many a poll tax, noblemen being com
pelled to pay a tax on their nobility.
Prnssia has a tax on houses; so has
Greece, while Italy taxes all building
contracts. Italy taxes the right to vote,
and Belgium, Denmark and Prussia the
right to inherit property; that is, yon
have to pay a percentage of the prop
erty yon inherit to the government be
fore yon can be put into possesion of
it.
Greece taxes all produce, bees, pas
tures, cattle, and even patents; Holland,
hunting and shooting privileges, and
gold and silverware; Switzerland, gun
powder; Spain the right to gamble,
pepper and fruit trees; while Servia the
privilege of marrying subjects a man
to an extra tax.
In addition to the revenus derived
from all these taxes, these countries at
so receive considerable amounts of
money from other sources not employ-
ad to swell onr revenue in this country
The amount yielded by government
railroads is always an important feat
ure in European budgets. Belgium,
for instance, gets $17,800,000, one-third
of her entire revenue, from this source;
Prussia, $42,000,000; Austria, $15,000,-
000, Austria gets $5,500,00 from lotter
ies, and Italy $17,500,000. The to
bacco monopoly yields Italy $34,000,000.
The post office, moreover, is usually
made profitable, that of Great Britain
yielding the government a revenue
over all expanses of $30,000,000, The
Prussian forests yield that kingdom
$14,000,OOO.a year. Austria derives a
revenue of $16,000,000 from judicial
fees, money that in this country is di
vided between the clerks of courts.
Among the most curious sources of
revenue to a country are the universi
ties in Switzerland and France, which
.actually yield the government a revenue;
and the Swiss stud stables, belonging
to the Federal Government of Switzer
land, which pays the expenses of the
Swiss Council.
The champion countries for heavy
taxes are France, which, with less pop
ulation than this country, raises the
immense revenue of $534,000,000 a
year, and the Australian colonies which,
with a population smaller than that of
Ohio or Illinois, raise a revenue of $73,-
850,00 a year without a direct tax
The snmmiug up of taxation, debt
and revenue throughout the world is
something almost horrible to contem
plate, A careful estimate shows'tbal the
civiliezd and semi-civilized nations of the
world owe $25, 894,890.000 and raise
an annal revenue of $3,910,650:000 to
pay the expenses of their governments,
A GOSPEL OP PEACE.
In pleasing contrast with the coward
ly philippic of General Hamlmton
which we quoted a few days ago, we
give onr readers an extract from the
address of Bev. Charles F. Lee, deliv
ered on Decoration day in Charleston
Massachusetts. It breathes a spirit of
brotherly love and charity which does
credit to its reverend author, and
shows that he is indeed a messenger
that “peace on earth and good will
toward men, ” which is the keynote of
the Christian Gospel. Said the speak
er:
“I cannot but remind you, as much as
X believe the late war a righteous one, of
the heroism which the Southern breth
ren displayed. The memory of every
Southerner that died in the belief that
he was battling for his heaven-born
rights shall be precious to me. I feel
now that there is a lasting fraternity
between the bine and the gray as I
know they look down upon our loved
Union with equal solicitude and affec
tion, and shame be to that man who
cannot pay the tribute dne to thous
ands of men who battled nobly defend
ing that which they thought they were
bom to uphold. We ought to make
one hard determined effort to pnt aside
all angry feeliDgs of hate or jealousy,
and join hand in hand as one man
North, Sonth, East and West, over the
graves of the bine and gray, with all
sincerety and love, as we think of the
thousands of the fallen heroes whose
remains are Unbosomed in tbe soil of
the Sonth. My friends, I believe that
the greater part of onr Southern breth
ren reciprocate my feelings, I think
they yearn to restore the reign of good
will which characterized us of old. Let
us show them that we are not only
willing bat anxious to bury the ill feels
ings of the past.”
While such sentiments of those so el
oquently expressed by Mr. Lee find a
hearty response in the hearts of the
trne men of the North, there is still
hope for the restoration of that mutual
respect and good will so essentially to
the perpetual peace and prosperity of
onr common country,

There can be no question, says the
New York Bulletin, bnt that the extent
of the negro emigration to Kansas from
Mississippi and Northern .Louisiana has
from the beginning been greatly exag
erated, for various reasons, which it is
not difficult to divine. We have con
clusive proof of this from a source the
correctness of which we are bound to ac
cept-. The New Orleans Cotton Ex
change, in its report under date of June
9th, says: “Seventy-seven correspond
ents report labor good and efficient, and
thirteen report is unsettled. Bnt few
hands have left Louisiana for Kansas,
and the exodus fever seems to have sub
sided for the present.” From Missis
sippi we have reports of a similar tenor;
“Labor is generally sufficient in num
bers and efficient in qnality. A few
counties report a limited emigration to
the river parishes of Louisiana. The
Kansas exodus is beiDg discussed in a
good many places, bnt 30 far it has not
drawn off any Considerable number of
hands.” From Arkansas; “Labor is
reported generally good and efficient,
though several counties report an nneasy
feeling, and apprehension on account of
the Kansas fever, But no loss has been
sustained in labor yet.” The authori
ty for these statements is much more re
liable and impartial than that of the
average correspondent in pursuit of a
sensation, and we are bound to accept
them, therefore, as showing that, after
nil, the labor system of the Southern
States, thas far has, suffered no material
derangement from the stampede if so it
deserves to be designated. We may
add, concludes the Bulletin, that, if onr
Mississippi and Louisiana exchanges
are to be relied apon, the movement is
at an end, and that many of the negroes
who went off on the impulse of the mo
ment are anxious to get bask on the
plantations.
The Irwinton Southerner and Appeal
makes special mention of a worthy ne
gro of that place. It says: “It is ex
tremely rare to find one man—especial
ly one of his class—possessed of the vir
tnes of faithfulness, honesty, energy
and industry to so high a degree as is
Henry Gainey, a blind negro living
near Gordon, and this fact makes it all
the more pleasant to record such
stances when we do find them. Henry
was formerly the property of a widow
lady, and at the time of Sherman’s
march through this section his mistress
turned over to him for safe keeping her
money and other valuables, as well
horses and mules. Henry took them
and, when all danger was passed, re
turned them. Not a thing was missing.
About ten years ago Henry had a se
vere case of sore eyes, which resulted in
loss of sight, and since that lime he has
been totally blind. Nothing daunted
by a misfortune under which many
would hare sunk, Henry has kept stead
ily at work and earned his own living.
He is now at work for Mr. James Ste
vens, of Gordon, who informs ns that
he readily earns eight to ten dollars per
mouth cutting cord wood. Mr. Stevens
further informs us that since wheat cut
ting commenced he has been running
five cradles, and that Henry followed
one of them, tying the wheat and
keeping np as well as the bands following
the others, All honor to Henry, say
we.”
