I. Eliha M: Parker. Auditor of Wayne couptv. Indiana, do hereby certify
j that the foregoing is a true and correct list of lands and town lota returned delinquent by the Treasurer of said county, for the non-payment of Taxes
due thereon tor the year lsTz, to which arc added the taxes lor the current
year 1873. Advertising fee yet to be added.
Witness my name, and the seal ot the Commissioners Court at seal.1 Richmond, this 15th day of December, 1873. ELIHU M. PARKER, Auditor.
necessary for payment of "employes at the Central Depository until Jane 30. 1875. Section 31 provides "that all
the expenses of organizing and conducting the business" of said Deposi-
ry, except as hereinbefore provi!1. shall be oaid out of the Drocoeds
of said business."
It is estimated that the ODenine of
the sub-depositories at the 203 first-
class post offices in the United States
will require at the central office the
constant services of 23 employes (suvnrirtAfitfliat iAvlrd m aiciui iraifl Cr. Vfe1
UVllUM.UUlVUIjj VIVIAOf IHCOOVUgVlOf CaV laborers), ana at all of said post-offices an addition of 112 clerks to the nres-
cnt force, being an average of about
one additional clerk at each office;
that the extension of the system to
offices of the second class (about 350 in number) will require about 100 additional clerks (two to every seven of
fices), and M additional clerks at the central office; that its extension- to third-class post-offices (about 750 in number) will require at those offices 150 clerks (one to every five offices) and about 50 at the central office; that at the remaining 1,700 money, order offices no clerks will be required, a3 the business will be performed by postmasters in person, while but' a
small additional force will be necessary at the central office.
It is proposed to open only firstclass post-offices during the first year, and to extend the system by the addi
tion of other offices from year to year.
as the public interest may require. It-
is provided that all expenses of con
ducting the postal savings business at post-offices shall be paid out of the

amount for payment of salaries of
clerks employed in receiving and forwardine remittances from other offices:
and it is estimated that the total expense of conducting the business, after the first year, will not exceed five
eighths of one per cent, on the deposits received. The account of each depositor will be kept at the central depository, and
provision will be made to allow deposits and withdrawals to be made by depositors atanv sub-depository office.

ration, by "which it "ms 'ascertained1
that the gathering of colchicum seed, .
which was formerly carried on only by the children of poor parents, had
become a lucrative source of revenue for grown persons. - At the railway
station of Dieburg alone 20,000 pounds of this seed were shipped, and a single
broker, ll., is said to have shipped eighty hundred weight, a quantity which, as we remarked above, was formerly amply sufficient to cover all the demands of the trade. The use of colchicum seed in the -adulteration of beer,' therefore, would seem to be proved beyond the possibility of a doubt. "If they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" If such be the case in Germany, what may not be expected of brewers in America ? -:

From the Cincinnati Gazette, I Beer a Healthy Beverage?
The ulea put in for the German na
tional drink is that it is not only
harmless, but also decidedly healthy
Beer brewers, we are told, are public
benefactors, lor they supply the peo
pie with a mildly stimulating and
Dleasaut drink, which is destined at
no vrv distant dav to supplant and
drive from the country whisky and all
nthor distilled houors which are pro
ducing such an amount of drunken
ness and woe in the land. Indeed, we are assured that beer is even an
element of morality and honesty, and
that when once tbe American people
generally will patronize the beer saloons on Sunday instead of Puritanic
churches, the millennium ot morality
and honesty will have come. JLct but the time come when all shall worship
at the shrine of Gambnnus. and there
will be no more salary grabbing, no
more Credit Mobilier, no more ring swindling, nor any of the thousand
and one forms ot public and private
robbery now in vogue.
We have no disposition, at present
at least, to dispel the dehuhttul vision
...... , .
thus conjured up by the pnuosonnic German mind, but will only record the
fact, recently brought to light in Germany, that beer, there, is no longer the simple juice of barley, spiced with hons. which it formerly was. and
which many in their simplicity still believe it to be. Like everything else,
the art of beer brewing has been niak
ing progress, and the old fogy notion that barley and hops shall constitute the only ingredients of the beverage is exploded. The barley part had been,
to a great extent, superseded for years
bv West India molasses, sugar of
starch, and similar substances, which, bv the decomposition of the fusel oil
contained therein, by the process of
fermentation, do not contribute very
materially to the healthfulness ot beer,
Now. to crown all. the discovery is
made that the seed of the extremely
oisonous colchicum antomale is arcelv used as a substitute for hops
in the manufacture of beer. The evidence upon which this charge against the German brewers is founded may be summed up thus: In the first place.
chemical experiments have shown that it is possible to ue the allaloid of
colchicum fcolchicin) in place of the
bitter principle of the nop. Then,
again, the consumption of colchicum
has latterly increased in a most inex
plicable manner. Dr. A. Spies, of
Frankfort calls attention to the fact
that the manufacture of bear has in
creased fifteen fold within the last few
decades, while the quantity of hops
raised has remained the same, ibis fact of itself points with unerring certainty to the adoption of a substitute in place of the hop, and the strong probability is that it is the poisonous colchicin, a decoction of colchicum seed, that is largely used as such substitute. . ' ' The quantity of colchicum seed used for medicinal purposes is so small that it scarcely enters into the account. Twenty hundred weight of the seed would suffice to produce all the colchicum used for that purpose in commerce. Less still is needed for the balance of the colchicin preparations, so that we do not overstate the case
when we say that sixty hundred weight would supply all the 4emand9 of commerce, so far as medicinal prepara
tions are concerned. Ten years ago the colchicum seed could be procured at a cost of two or three kreutzers (one and a half or two cents) per pound, and frequently those who had fathered it were sent away by the ruggists because a very few pounds sufficed to supply the demand. At present colchicum seed is quoted at 35(3,36 kreutzers ' per pound in the price currents; and in spite ot this high price a well known firm,which about two years ago had occasion for a larger quantity, could not get it because the drug had in some inexplicable manner vanished from the trade. . Latterly the consumption of colchicum seed has increased in so remarkable a manner as to attract the attention of the authorities, of the Grand Duchy of Hesse; it has even been ascertained that the gathering of this seed has grown into a regular busi; ness in various parts of the Hessian and Bavarian Odenwald. According to an official communication, an Up
per Hessian burgomaster inquired of
the authorities what it any tax the people would be required to pay, who should gather the colchicum seed for the brewers. The gensdarmes brigade of Neustadt gave information to the
authorities, that in the neighboring
village of band bach people had been requested by the town crier to gather colchicum sped, and the gendarme who gave the information had been told upon inquiry that the seed was to be gathered for the beer brewers. r-
propriates so I Upon the strength of . this lnforma-
,000 as may be ' tion the authorities instituted iitveFti-
Tbe Investigators.
The members of the House of Rep
resentatives appointed under a reso
lution ot Gen. Jiutler to collect the testimony relating to Judge. DureM's administration of the Bankrupt Court have arrived in the city, and will en-:
ier immediately ' upon weir auues. These gentlemen occupy a high position in Congress, and are regarded as
able lawyers and of very independent character. The chairman, the Honorable Jerry Wilson, of Indiana, - is a gentleman of remarkable firmness, '
pertinacity and perseverance as an in
vestigator, and has proved a great ter- s
ror to evil-doers in office and high sta
tion.
The Washington correspondent of
the St. Louis Republican thus graphi-
cally describes him:
.Both these committees were headed
and their work conducted by the Hon. Jerry Wilson, of Indiana.' Hence I
write him the great investigator, lhe peculiarity of Judge Wilson's method
of investigation is that it always reveals something, and that somebody always gets hurt. Now, men who hurt are always popular. When the public
appetite tor blood has been sharpened from day to day by seeing the
knife ot the newspapers brandished above the head of a derelict publicservant, there is always a reaction of
nausea and disheartenment consequent upon a failure to see blood drawn by the judicial lancet of investigation.
People hate to be disappointed in their estimate of a fellow creature:
thus, when we have deliberately concluded that a man is a Harlan or a
Ben Butler, we dislike to be told by a bland committee chairman that we were mistaken, and that our supposed
heavy villain is only the first old gentleman with a bandit's boots on, after
all,
BORN FOB TOE WORK, Therefore the man who shows us
occasionally a real live corruptionist with the rare brand of a congressional committee of investigation upon
him, becomes the popular idol because ministering to a popular want. Thus Judge Wilson is a popular man. All
there was that amounted to anything in the dreary siege of last '. winter was
embodied in- Wilson's report. Then
Congress sent Wilson out to see what sort of a judge the United States had
in the district ot Kansas, and the result is we are to have a new judge. And now, before this letter can reach
you, Wilson will be on his way to New Orleans to see about Durell.
This wily little Hoosier ex-judge is becoming a sort of terror to the evildoers. He is already pretty well
known, but not nearly so well known as he will be shortly. So I have been for the last few days quietly engaged in taking his photograph, in sections, and, having completed the series, will
now present you the tout ensemble:
Judge Wilson is a born - inquisitor.
He could not well avoid hnding out things if he tried to, because his temperament and organization are such that the truth would gravitate to him
much as golddust clusters about a f lobule of quicksilver in the amalgam, 'robably Wilson's strongest point as an investigator is inborn hatred of shams and his cool-blooded relentless-
ness in the sacrifice of them. The essential difference between him and Grandpa Poland is that grandpa cannot believe his senses when he is confronted with the modern infamies of legislation, the executive or the judiciary; while Wilson, wholly and utterly judicial from head to foot, unsympathetic and as impervious to the appeals of sentiment as the plaster-cast of Abe Lincoln in the capitol basement, understands the- possibilities of villainy and appreciates evidence offered, i . ' .. ".
PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF JUDGE WILSON. In personal appearance the great investigator is no less remarkable
than in respect to his attributes.; L will scarcely essay to ' describe him: Imagine five feet six in height and one hundred and twenty pounds in weight; a bundle of wire and vigor; a face as incisive as a lance-head: the whole suggesting that four hundred pounds of physique and a ton of brains had been trained down to light weight. This pugilistic metaphor is not only suggested, but suggestive. The anecdote is worth telling, because it will fit right here: Some years ago, before Wilson came to Congress, he was on the bench in Indiana, and once holding court, tidings came that New York and Missouri had invaded the soveriegn Hooppole State in the redoubtable person of Michael McCoole and Joseph Coburn, followed by some five thousand cut-throats, together t with a few re-
porters lor the metropolitan press. The Judge ordered his grand jury to indict the aforesaid, and at midnight sheriff and posse were dispatched with bench warrants. , Michael was found near Lawrenceburg asleep iu the house of an honest farmer Joseph was surprised the next morning approaching the field of battle in a buggy; brought into court, the light weight judge commanded the heavy weight prize fighters to stand up and toe the scratch: "What said they, guilty or not guilty?" , To hasten proceedings and get back to business they pleaded guilty, thinking of a small fine and a release. Thereupon J udge Wilson lectured Joseph and Michael for the space of one hour upon the enormity of their calling in the sight of God and the sovereign Hoop-Pole State, dwelling with . fervor upon ' the blessings of peace and goodwill to men. At the conclusion he said they should tarry there in a stone building, with iron bars in the windows, for forty: days
and forty nights, in . the course- of. which time the ague would come along and shake the fight all out of them. ' Whereat Michael, being something of a wag, said: "May it please the court,' ?our honor is the hardest hitter av a ight weight I ever sawf' At this r there, was , laughter, including the judge, and Michael went to jail - to wrestle with a plain diet and the ague. And Wilson continues to be a lightweight, ' but a hard hitter. By the
time he gets through ; with JJurrell . there will have been . punishment. r..r--i .fr-'BogPLI.. , ; ' There are 4,000 Chinamen at Oroville (Cal.) washing gold, after. the "49" fashion., -:.r ? , j .,..,
Prof. Agaasiz has long been known as an unbeliever in Darwin isrn, and the on com promising enunciation of his views, which is to appear in the January Atlantic, although it defines his position more clearly, will surprise no student of bis works. In this essay, Prof. Agaasiz gave a synopsis of his reasons for not
holding the Darwinian doctrines,
preparatory to a more detailed statement " which he intended to
make in future numbers of the magazine. This sketch the great naturalist will never complete, and to its scientific value is added the
melancholy interest of r being the
last finished work from the hand to
which the students and lovers of
natural science owe so much.
. Itbeerins bv saviner that "The
law of evolution, so far as its workin? is understood, is a law control
ling development and keeping types within appoined cycles of ' growth,
which revolve forever upon them
selves, returmnerat appointed m
iervals to the same starting point,
and repeating through a succession
of phases the same course. 'These cvcles have ' never been known to
oscillate or to pass into each other; indeed, the only structural differ ence known between individuals oi
the same stock are monstrosities,
or peculiarities pertaining to sex,
and the latter are as abiding and
permanent as type itself.' His next assertion is that no primary divi
sion of the animal kingdom wil'
stand which will not bear the test
applied by Cuvier to his four great groups, Radiate, Mollusks, Articulates and Vertebrates; that is to .a . a a ! 1 A M
say, tne test oi a aisunct pran ui structure for each. The article then briefly reviews the different books published by Darwin, and says that "Pangenesis" in which tho whole theory is summarized, "does but prove more conclusively what was already known namely, that all domesticated ani mals and cultivated plants are traceable to a distinct species, and that the domesticated - pigeons
which furnish so large a portion of the illustration are, notwithstand-. ing their great diversity under special treatment, no exception to this rule." The review closes with the assertion that the greater part
of the argument, both with Dar
win and his followers, is purely negative, and rests partly upon the
assumption that, "in the succession
of ages, just those transition types have dropped out from the geolo
gical record which would have
proved tho Darwinian conclusions, had these types been preserved, and that, in the living animal, the
process of transition is too subtile
for detection, thus throwing off the responsibility of proof with respect
to embryonic growtn ana geoiogi cal succession." .
Concerning the famous "discovery" made bv Kowalevskyr of . the
presence in the Ascidians of
string of cells corresponding to the dorsal cord in Vertebrates, the ar
ticle says that the existence of this strinsr of cells was previously known
to naturalists, and that ho himself
had intended to say something o:
their nature and position had he not been anticipated by Von Baer,
who haa recently published
pamphlet upon the development o:
the Ascidians as compared with
the Vertebrates, in which pamphle
he shows that the string of cells runs along the ventral -' side of the
body of the Ascidians, and that their development has no true homology with that of the Vertebrates. "To say that the first Ver tebrates or their progenitors carried their backbones in this manner," said Prof Agassiz, "is about as reasonable as to say ; that , they walked on their heads.' ! . The doctrine of Hwckel, that starfishes are compound , animals,' made up, as it were, of worm like beings, united like rays is one organism, a doctrine which, if ' true, would establish a transition from
Radiates to Articulates, is pronounced to be all assumption, without foundation in the structure of the starfish. The arms of these animals being made up of the same parts as the vertical zones of all Radiates, and arranged around a vertical axis, can not be compared
to those of any Articulate, in which
class the parts are arranged along
a longitudinal axis. r The - topics of metamorphosis, hereditary and natural succession, are very briefly considered, and the article closes with a consideration of the geological side of the question, .in which , ground, is taken against the theory of transmission, since the whole history of geological succession shows that tho lowest in structure is by no means
earliest -in time, and since, there
fore, it . may be said that a great diversity of types has existed from
the beginning. tfoston ulobe.

when the clock suddenly; struck five.

and heard the noise. He opened
his room door cautiously, and crept softly to the head of the stairs to listen. He could - distinctly hear
some one moving about the kitchen and dining room, , and apparently packing np the china. Accordingly
he went back to his room and woke" Mrs. Chubb, 'and gave her 5 orders'
to spring the rattle out of the win

go- off. j Then Chubb i seized Lis ' fowling piece, and going dov.n , to the dining-room door, where he could hear the burglars at work, . he cocked the gun, aimed it, push -cd the door open with the muzzlo and fired. , Instantly Mrs. Chubb sprang the rattle, and before Chnbb could pick up the lacerated hired girl the front door was burst open by two policemen, who came into the dining-room. Seeing Chubb with a gun, and a bleeding woman on the floor, they imagined that murder had been committed, and '

Is not success one of life's great
est mysteries? . On the one hand
we see men and women with little or no business ability occupying
the most remunerative of positions, and enjoying all the comforts that money can bring, and on the other,
people with greater qualifications
and education Bimply eking out an existence. No one can deny that
thoafiauds of smart men and women live a life of , continual deprivation, striving ever to better their con
dition, hoping against ill luck, and using every honorable means of
advancement, but, failing miserably in the end, die almost broken-hearted. To persons' thus endowed
with ability to succeed, but who, from lack of opportunity have been able to show to the world of what they are capable, it can but seem that there is something wrong in our social system that merit should signify so little in success. I do not refer to that large body of moderen Micawbers who are always "waiting for something to turnup," but to-another class of
realy smart, deserving people - who find all their efforts toward bettering their condition in life simply a failure. Opportunity is what they need; simply a elanee to prove to themselves and others that . their claim to more than ordinary merit
to not ungraded. - It is true this
class of persons ' may have their renilia failings, that act as drawbacks totfeeir success in life; but so have many others, who, by birth, or a fortunate combination of circumstances, are1, thrust, into easy positions in life,, where, with little effort, they sweep on to success. Ta alt who are thus striving and struggling- and almost despairing we can but say, that the unseen future may bring brighter, days, and that the long wished for opportunity may come at last, and their efforts me vriih reward.
Among the many curious phe
nomena which presented themselves
to me in the course of my travels,
says Humboldt, "I' confess there
were few by which my imagination
was so powerfully affectod as by the
cow tree. - On the parched side of
a rock on the mountains of Vene
zuela, grows a tree with' dry and
leathery foliage, its large woody
roots scarcely penetrating into the ground. 1 For several months in the
year its leaves are not moistened by
a shower: its branches look as if
dead and withered; but when, the trunk is bored, a bland, nourishing milk flows from it It is at sunrise
that the vegetable fountain, flows most freely. At that., time 'the
blacks and natives are, soon coming from all parts, provided with large
bowls to receive the xnitk,' which grows yellow ..and. thickens ; at its surface.: Some empty their Vessels On the spot, while others carry them to their - children. One imagines he sees the family of . a shepherd who is distributing the milk of his flock." v, y ' - i r .'. ! ! ,.'
