F. A. WHEEL!"" GROWTH OF AMKWCAJ MANUFACTURjk It Is predicted from thejflrst by those best informed on the subject, that ©iie of the chief benefits of the Ceutenni'al Exposition would be the recognition that it would compel on the part of foreign nations, of th« remarkable pro­ gress made in several loading branches ot American manufacture during the past twenty years. Evidence was not Wanting during the progress of the Exposiliou that many of the most in­ telligent foreign commissioners were greatly surprised at the American ex­ hibit at Philadelphia. Much as we had beeu led to expcct from these casual and informal admissions, the official reports of the visiting commissioners to their home governments far sur­ pass all reasonable anticipations. One of the most remarkable of these is the speech of M. Edwards Favre Per ret, member of the international jury on watches at Philadelphia, de­ livered in the centre of the watch making district of Switzerland, He spoke with the utmost frankness of the surprising growth of the American watch manufacture, dwelt with gloomy forbodihg, upon the ruinous competi­ tion of the New World with the watch­ makers of Europe, and closed with a glowing tribute to the superiority and cheapness of the watches made in the United States. In a recent letter to his government Mr. Simonin, one of the French com­ missioners, is but little less pronounced in his praise of several branches of American manufacture wherein we are treading 011 the domain of the French. This gentlemau frankly acknowledges "that the Americans have acquired the sleight-of-hand of the European work­ men to a wonderful and perplexing de­ gree." Were it not for his national prejudices, he would scarcely be able to decide the superiority between American and French clocks, bronzes, artificial flowers aud glassware, four articles in which, until now, France has held the undisputed.palm of superiori­ ty, Yet- M* Siinowto sees the handwri­ ting on the wall, and reads It as Intel' ligenlly aud frankly as Farve-Perret, He warns his countrymen that from this time forth they have their prestage in th# Hemisphere* Add that they may expect a close eoni- j petition from the American clock and American silk#! hit fioi'to t Im moM doubtful product of our industries,have caused as much surprise in England. Mr. J. Walter II. Thrope in a letter to th# Metfi'Jesl'opiJ (Kng|imd) Ppiprfer says: k'Tha English silk-workers wise­ ly abstained troin exhibiting at Phila­ delphia, for they would have exposed their iufcriori.tv quality," and that "the sample laboivsaviug appliances and intelligence of America!} ifptfsans will subject the English silk-milkers to such a competition as they have never dreamed pf," Mr. Thrope then quotes from the report pjF the American Silk Association'the assertion that utwentv years ago (American) supply of dress- silks, r|bbo is and silk laces were drawn in about equal quantities from England and France. Xord^y beyoud a few fancy gppds (like laces, hpsiery and mixed goods, chiefly of spuij silk) we buy no silk froui Great Brit|an."' Watches, jewelry, bronzes, artificial flowers, clocks aud silks, are not tht pet articles of American manufapture, however. References is m^(|e to them simply because they are new articles, in the production ©f which we already rival the older nations. There are mail}'other instances vvljerein we fur- pass the entire world <*}.s manufacturers. In the hist class there can be named a number of articles that have long siuce crept into cosmopolitan f^vor unherald ed and unnoticed. Among the more important of these will be fopnd fire­ arms, railroad equipments, cotton goods hardware of all descriptions, boots and shoes, ingot steel, pig iron, ingot pop­ per, ajl kinds of road vehicles, silver apd pjated ware, all kinds of steam engines, (except marine,) steam fire engines, pumps, both hand and steam, every kind of sailing craft, from yachts to clipper ships, prjnting presses, burnr iilg oils, pianos, sewing machines, wooden ware, and every kin4 of agri­ cultural implements. Such are some of the results of Amer ican energy, thrift and ingenuity, backed by the resources of a country designated by Providence for the home of a greiif peopje and fostered by $n intelligent system of proteptiop to domestic industry. F. A. WHEELEK & CO. Janesville, Wis., May30tl), 1876. A£&"Georgia is taking measures tQ make itself indeed what ito is some­ times familiarly called, "The Empire State of the South." An appropriation has been asked from its legislature to establish a line of steamers between Savannah and Liverpool. It is stafed that emigrants can be brougi?); out by such a Hue foe half the cost by the lines to New York, and Southern business men are desirqus of encouraging ^migration. . ^ OCR REVENUE LAW. EDITOR PLAIN DEALER -IT fg ear* tfefctly recommended, by Ex-Gov. Beveridge and Gov. Culluth; that the Be venue Law of this State receive the serious attention of the present Gen­ eral Assembly, aud important amend­ ments be made thereto. To those who iMve an understanding of the opera­ tions of said law, there is no wonder thai the Governors, who feel an inter­ est in the welfare of our great and growing commonwealth, should so ear­ nestly recommend the immediate con­ sideration of amendments to the law. It might be so changed, in some of its features, as to save much to the tax­ payers ef the State, and to so levy" the assessments 011 property as^to distrib­ ute the burdens of taxation with equity oa the wealth of the State, which is not new the case. Let us, for a moment, consider the filets. Oar present Revenue Law was adopted In 1872 and provides for an ex- t<* meeting of the Board of Supervis­ ors in July of each year, for the pur­ pose of equalizing assessments in every county This we deem is an extra ex­ pense to all the taxpayers of the State, without being of any benefit whatever. There is tw necessity for such meeting of the Board. The business of equal­ ising could be done, as formerly, at Ike annual session of the Supervisors in September, without hindrance or detriment to anybody. The law was originated by Springfield schemeists, who hoped to get the people's money out of their pockets at an earlier date, in order to receive it at the Capital City sooner for speculation. But their scheme has failed and the dear people are anui\ally suffering in consequence of tte change in the law. Ijwow for the proof of the proposi­ tion. The Board of Supervisors are caUed together in July of each year, to equalize assessments, but the returns from the assessors books are sent to the Scaip Auditor, for equalization by the State Board, before they are equalized between towns by the Supervisors. Tbie State Board does not convene un­ til the Sepond Tuesday pf August, and when It does meet, there are many comities not returned, and the members hav# to wait for weeks, under regular p*^ UBtiUhe Abstract* of fryta every county are placed before thtlR.a«id the resell is.th^t instead of e now pay for fifty days eaol yeir, and do not receive the equalized work of the State Board until after the adjournment of the Supervisors at their annual session in September. The September meeting gf County Boapd is therefore soon enough (o equalize assessments between the towns of a county, so that the County Clerk can go to work on the tax lists without delay thereby. Thus we see that the Supervisors Jqly session is not necess­ ary, nor the pouveni"g of the State Board in August. These e$r)v meet? ings do no good, but only increase the burdens of taxation upon the pe°plo. Now a word as to the injustice of our present Revenue law, as it relates to the placing of the burdens of taxation. As t|}e law now stands, tl^ere is no re­ lief granted to the debtor class for in­ debtedness on any property in tjjeir. possession. A man may buy a farm and owe entirely for it, but he is as­ sessed fully 011 the property and pays taxes 011 the same, while the individual who holds the mortgage against the fa|*iq. is $lso assessed, and if he is hon­ est, pays taxes on all his money in­ vested therein, so that taxes ^re paid twice on the one property. The debt­ or does not really own the farm- aud he should not bear its burdens of taxa­ tion in addition to the interest he pays But}&w$hall he be relieved? Let him pay the taxes to the Collector and take his receipt therefor. Let the creditor be excused from assessment on his notes and mqrtgages, leaving bis debtor to find him out, and use the re­ ceipt for taxes paid as an offset to its amount against the demands of th0 creditor. Then taxes would be pajd once annpally and the burden would fall where it belongs. Our Supervisors endorse f;his plan for taxation as do also our Couuty Representative, in the Legislatqre, and Mr. Granger has al­ ready moved in the matter.

CORRESPONDENCE. WASHINGTON*, D. C., Jan. 22D, 1877. " This winter will long he remembered In Washington as one of great pleasure to the wealthy and of tedious suffering to the poor. There is said to be a greater number of the latter class in this city than in any other of its size in the Union* and the huts and hovels in which they live are not designed for necessary protection against such weather as we have seen for the last month. One of the cruelties of allow­ ing the District of Columbia no Gov­ ernment of its own is seen in the fact that it has no power to compel the rich to assist the poor by means of taxation^ .Private charities are extensively carried on, the latest .being the starting of a souphouse, which feeds many hun­ dreds of half starved creatures, daily,* For more than a month the Potoinao has frozen for fifty or sixty miles be­ low us and this has caused an unheard of dearth of oysters, which is a distress to rich and poor alike. They are usu­ ally so very plenty, low priced and of such a delicious quality, that they not only form a great part of the lood of the lower classes but are deemed a necessity by the wealthier. Affairs Of all sorts are beginning to assume a much livelier aspect than has been presented thus far this winter at the Capital. .Theatricals and other amusements are exceptionally good. Janauschek, the so-called "Queen of Tradgedy," is here this week playing "Marie Stewart" and "Lady Dedlock" in Chesney Wold. Mary Anderson has just finished an engagement here in which she delighted theater goers by her splended rendering of "Meg Merri- les" in Guy Mannering. Many think her equal to Charlotte Cushinan In this role but I should think it scarcely pos­ sible, seeing that Miss Anderson is but eighteeu years old. In Opera Miss Eva Mill is personating "Margueite" in Faust. Kellogg is expected as soon as she completes an engagement she is now fulfilling in Baltimore Talmedge lectured here last week and we have Henry Ward Beecher this, on "Hard Times." Receptions among the elite are In every day order, Mrs. Grant's having been Used for Fridays this winter. The eeoond of these pleasant gatherings took plattf last Friday at which Mrs. Grant appeared in a mag- niilcient toilette, fashioned after a rulfled oanary colored silk, with high corsage and sleeves slashed to the shoulder with insertion. Mrs. Sartoris wore an exquisite blue duinasse tritned With point lace and silk bows of same shade, $i)(| Mrs. Fred Grant a cream- colored silk g^F')jsiied witl} cardinal. Ulysses, jr. made the introductions and the President did not join the ladles till four o'clock. . The National Woman Suffrage Con-? yention was held here last week closing as uspa), by the presentation to Con­ gress of a petition for the rigl)t of suffrage to women. Your Jady readers, at least, will appreciate a Jit- tle account of the leading moves ii^ fhis Work and some descpription of women whose names have become familiar to us a}l. Elizabeth Cady Stanton is the oldest and ablest of all who have ever taken part |n the women's rights move­ ment. She is 1} sweet, motherly look­ ing ladv, with hair as white as wool and complexion as fair and fresh and smooth almost as a babv's; and al­ though she is avowedly "Strong mind­ ed" she is in appearance most womanly In some of her remarks she said she hoped that she and the other older members of the Association should not have to go into the Kingdom of Heaven disfranchised,, but if they did. they could but hope thp seed they had sown wou|d bear fruit for future generations. She said that, the family was but the nation in miniture, and assumed that as tl^e mother-soul principal is needful in the family, so in the nation; and that It is an absolute* cruelty for the country to be without female prison inspectors, overseers of Asylums, &c. Susan B. Anthony comes next in imr portance. aud a more direct opposite in personal appearance to Mrs. Stanton could hardly be found. Lean and gaunt and bony, with her broad shoql* ders and shining spectacles, she is enough to intimidate !)nyoneman who dare oppose her when she is in earnest, She is a strong, intelligent woman, however, one of those who waste no words on any subject. She uses the most expressive language she can com­ mand without regard to its elegancy Matilda Joslyn Gage, with the two ladies above mentioned, completes the trio alone remaining of those who met here first--nine years ago--in a Nation­ al Convention, Mrs, Swishelm, of Penn., for many years Editress alid proprietress of a Pittsbqrg newspaper, and by whose me^ns a law allowing married women $q hold property |u thefr own right was passed some year^ ago |n that St^te, made some very al}l§ remarks, rather reproving spme of the younger women's righter's haran- gnes against the men,--saying that women had been ttnflt to vote until quite lately---were scarcely so now Lillie Devereaux Blake, the New York authoress; Miss Phoebe Consens, a, Missouri lawyer, she who wrote tho woman's memorial at Philadelphia to be kept under seal till the next Centen­ nial ; Mrs. Lockwood, attorney at law, whose special grievance consists la that she wasrefosed admission to the Su­ preme Court of the United States be­ cause she was a woman. Dr. Mary Walker, in her reform costume--boots and pantaloons a la masculine gender, and loose frock'reaching to the knee-- and many others of equal note were present and made themselves heard up- on the platform. MAXWELL, * A THRILLING 9CJ5NK The following incident occurred du­ ring a general review of the Austrian cavalry a few months ago. Not far from 30,000 cavalry were in line. A. little child--a girl--of not more than four years, standing in tiie front row of spectators, either from fright or some other caused rushed out into the open field just as a squadron ot hussars came sweeping around from the main body. They made the detour for the purpose of saluting the Empress, whoso carriage was drawn up in that part of the parade gronnd. Down came the flying squadron, charging at a mad gal­ lop down directly upon the child. The mother was paralyzed, as were others, for there could be no rescue from the line of spectators. The Empress utter­ ed a cry of horror, for the ohild's de­ struction seemed inevitable--and such terrible destruction--the trampling of death by thousand Iron hoofs. Di­ rectly under the feet of the horses was the little one--another instant must seal its doom--when a stalwart hussar, who was in the front line, without slackening his speed or loosening his hold, threw himself over by the side of his horse's neck, seised and lifted the child, and placed it in safety upon his saddle bow, and thUUe did without changing his pace or breaking the cor» rect alignment of the squadron. Ted thousand voices hailed with rapturous applause, the gallant d«od« and other thousand applauded when tba knew. Two women there were who cotdji only sob forth their gratitude in broke* nts--the mother and the Emprefs, •If a proul ai|<j happy motQeut mu0* it have been for the hussar when hte Emperor, taking from his own breas| the richly enameled Crog$ of the Order of Maria Theresa, hung it upon tho breast of thft brave and gallant troop* er--London Standard. AMBIGUITIES These extracts, found in a magagine artiple, show the Inconsistencies and ambiguities of £!)• E'lgHsh tongue, It is not strange tbftt foreigners find it a difficult language to lean*. '•A man," says Punch, Mwas arrested for attempting to damage the River Thames, What was he doing?

But a fgrr(e?, aa expert in making up old furs, advertise ed "capes, victorlues, Ac., made up for ladies out of their owu skins." Tho advertisement of a concert was, doubts less, prophetic when it announced that 'a variety pf songs might be expected, too tediou* to be mentioned." "You walk very slow," said a man tQ a consumptive, Yos, bat I an* going very fast." "Show me a fire," said a traveller t* the landlord, "for I am very wet; and bring me ^ tnug of ale, for I §m very dry." • jJ^*Mistress--:uCoine Bridget, how much longer are you going to be about filling that pepperrbqx?"
