Wots Schaeier, of the ScmJmtl and Re publican, succeeds iu convincing his readers thai $13,010.53 is a creator amount thin $W,4ll.U7, then we will believe that he can convince tl.ciu that " the moon is made of giecn cheese." If they believe the one, (hey ought to bt-lieve the other. And if they believe both, then we believe that Schtreier and bis readers are tit subjects tor the lusane Asylum. The Democrat and Register of last week published the above. It is noth ing but a string of ifs." If the ed itor of the Sentinel and Republican Las done so and so, it will be bo and no. We are charitable enough in this case to believe that the Democrat and Register used the little handy '-if," so as not to make the direct charge that the Sentinet and Republican said that $13,010.53 is a greater amount than $14,411.07. The editor of the Scntintl and Re publican never even intimated such a thinr as that We can ajjree with the Democrat and Reenter, and uie the if," aud ay, if he had, if, if, if, if he had said no and so, it would be so and so. Bat the "if does not cover the point that the Democrat and Regis ter expects to make by its attack on the editor of the Sentinel and Republi can. The object of the "if atta is to cover a retreat, or withdraw tlin charges that it made ajp.insf the present Board of County Commis sioners. Such people as have a mem ory that can be relied on, remember that the Democrat a nd Register charged the present Board of County Com missioners with having m:ule certain promises, aud charged them with not fulfilling their promises ; and there fore it was a mistake that they were elected. That was the charge of the Democrat and Register. If it had made the charge in a court of justice it would have been asked for a bill of particulars, and then its humiliation would have been greater than it is ; for the bill of particulars would have revealed the fact that the present Board has reduced the expenditures of a number of departments all such departments wherein the Board Las direct control. The bill of par ticulars would reveal the fact that if any promise was made, it w;i3 in re gard to the reduction of salary wherein the Board has control ; that it was in regard to the reduction of the percentage that had been paid for the annual re-c.u version of the coun ty bonds. The Democrat and Register charged that a general promise was made. The bill of particulars would reveal that no geueral promise could be made, for, among the expenses of a county there are always a number of contingent, or chance expenses, or expenses that cannot be foreseen, that one time are large, and at an other time small. For example, citi zens may quarrel one year more than other year, and get into court, and prod use more business at one time than at another time, and their quar rels would increase the expenses of the county, and the Commissioners would have to provide to meet that expense. ICo JJjard of Commissioners can count against such accidental ex penses, and the man who believes that promises were made to cover 6uch expenses, could easily be made to believe th.it the "moon is made of green cheese." Again, for example, the elements, the weather, storm, may bo damage bridges that they have to be repaired, so that the com mon right to travel on ttis highway may be kept up, which repairs would increase the expenses of the county, and the Commissioners will have to provide the funds to pay the ex penses arising from the repairs. A Board of County Commissioners can not count against suoh accidental ex penses, and the man who believes that promises were made to cover such accidental expenses could easily be made to believe thai the moon is made of green cheese," and yet our pugnacious Democratic cc temporary counts in the accidental expenses, and that is where they have so grievously blundered. The bill of particulars in a court of justice would demonstrate that on everything tliat a Bjard of Coramis-ei-jners could make a promised re duction of expenses, a reduction was made. It would reveal the fact that the additional expenses, that put the figures up from 13 to 14 was among such things as those over which the Commissioners had no control su-h things as hunters and justices of the peace, lighting citizens in court, and old bridges. The Democrat and Reg ister does wrong in cbarjring the things to the Commissioners ih. they could not control. If the bill of particulars would be eweaping in iU inquiry, and would duEi.vad to know why it is that such a heavy fcix is laid upon the county, ' the naked fact would have to be re vealed that a Board of Democratic County Commissioners yielded to the extravag:vnce of the times and buiit a sixty thousand dollar court house when a tliirty thousand dollar houe would have done as well, and would not have burdened the people for many long years to pay the debt The Democratic Commissioners did just what has been done in many other places saddled the county with a debt for an extravagant house. Extravagance is the poison of Amer ican society. It blights the family circle; it sends discontent into all circles, among the rich and poor. The poor want to live beyond their means ; the people not so poor want to live in such a style that they must live beyond their means, to live as they wont to live, aud if they cannot live that way they are miserable in mind, WTetchedly discontented. Their standard in life is appearance, show, and if they cannot have that, they are nothing. It is so with people in moderate eircnnistanees ; many of (hem have to go in debt for snow, and appearance sake, and leave other people to pay their debts, or lose the ksjooat that was truete-J to their honest for payment If they can only get what will satisfy their ex travagance, they care little about how it is paid, nnless they have to pay it themselves, then they make a great ado over being made pay what they contracted to pay for. It is so with the rich ; many of them want to live like the man who has the revenues or resources of a kingdom at his com mand, and that was the way, to a cer tain degree, with the Democratic Commissioners ; they wanted a grand Court House, and to get it they sad dled a debt on the county ; and now when another set of Commissioners, a Republican Board, tries to pay some of the debt of their extravagance, a shout is raised against the adoption of the only means that will provide for the payment of the debt created by the extravagance of the past Canada had a treat of three inches of snow last week. Bismarck, King Willinm's chief offi cer of State, has resigned.

"The Czar of Russia never goes near a stove lest some explosive sub stance be lurking in the fuel ; he never takes a sip of water until the same cup has been lifted to the lips of an attendant, and he never takes a morsel of food unless some one else has eaten from the particular dish." But then that has been done by royalty, from this time back to time out of date. Wouldn't you like to be a crowned head ? The nest session of the Legisla tore will be an important one. "The State will have to be apportioned for the election of Judges, Members of Congress, Senator and Representa tive for the next ten years.

A United States Senator for the term of six years will also be elected." " The fiery Mr. Sparks (whit's in a name?), after amusing himself in Congress on Weduesday last by shaking his fist at Mr. Ciymer, and thundering 4 liar ' in his ear, till he was exhausted, finally arrived at the conclusion that he had made a fool of himself. So he apologized; Mr. Ciymer accepted the amende honor able ; so did the excited House, and peace once assumed her sway, preca rious though it be. Mr. Ciymer seems to have been the coolest one in the lot" The man who commits a great crime, such as murder, or burning other people's property, never or sel dom dies without confessing his guilt unless he suddenly lose his life, of which the following item from Lan caster county, is an illustration : "About twenty-five or thirty years ago George Marks was landlord of the hostelry known as " Dissinger's Tavern," on the New Holland turn pike, at Mechanicsburg, Lancaster county. At that time the body of a tuia, recognized as a traveling sales mat, that had been at the tavern a few davs lefore, was found, much de composed, iu the Conestoga, near New Holland. No clue could be ob tained to the murderers. Now Marks,' who died on the 5th instant, con fesses on his death-bed that he and a neighbor named Weidler murdered the man and threw Lis body in the creek. They had been playing cards, the agent was the winner, and he was murdered on this account There is considerable excitement in the neigh ljorhood because of Mark's comes- The6e are the days of great inven tions. The mechanic's arts have been carried to such a state of perfection that people wear false hair, false teeth, false eyes, false legs, false arms, and pad up to 6uch a degree that if one does not know them well, they hardly know when they meet a man or a woman, whether they are in their right shape.

Yes," I exclaimed ; " it's your nose, and it has grown out Well, I never ! What did it?" Her nose stood out to a proper length, and was as shape ly as could have been desired. "I've got an extensor in it," she said ; "but you mustn't telL" " What's an ex tensor I" "A inetal lining, or form, which I wear in my nose to give it a good shape. Til show it to yon when we get home." She did show it to ma It was simply two forms of sil ver, colored red on the inner surface, to be pressed np into the nostrils. They effectually lifted the end of the nose from the face, and were not un comfortable or discoverable. These extensors are declared to be an arti cle of common manufacture by fash ionable dentists. 14,4G9 male pupils io Boston public schools, 608 were found to be color blind, while only nine firls oat of 13, 453 examined were so afieoted.

Trout is a rich planter of Roaooke county, Virginia, a strict ebnrcb member and one of tbe most successful men io bis county. He bas several farms aod lives on one on tbe line of tbe Virginia and Tenoeses Rail road, close to tbe Salem Post Office and near the Roanoke river. Yesterday, accompanied by Detective John Ween, of Richmond, and Chief of Police Don ovan, of Mewark, he visited Brooklyn anJ identified Matilda W or too, tbe gypsy fortune-teller, who is ia Ray nioud street jail oo a charge of robbing William Jessop, of Princeton, Indiana, of $2250, as tbe woman who, three years ago, robbed bint of a package containing $10,000 in greenbacks, leaviug in ita stead a similar package that contained strips of newspaper cat into tbe shape of banknotes. Mr. Trout says that in February 1875, be receiv ed a note, signed D. T War ton, saying that there was a natural deposit of sil ver on bis (arm. In 1876 Mrs. Worton tbe gypsy woman called on him. "She said," continued Mr. Trout, "that close to my house there waa a deposits of silver containing about a million dot iars ; tbat tbe mass of it was in a crude state, but that a large aoioaut of tbe metal bad already been mined. The silver, she said, was first discovered many years ago, by two Indiau sbisfs Darned Curry aud Mesb, who, on shift iug their habitation, buried their for tunes there and put a spell over the mine, which it required a superhuman gilt to break. Tbe biding place was sealed by a secret, and she alone could charm it away and open tbe mine for my benefit. I told ber if she would show me where tbe mine was I would give her oue-balf of the proceeds, but she said that she needed a package of $12,000 to handle, always in tuy pre euce, so tbat sbe could work out these cret. I did not have so much money at hand, and I told her tbat 1 eould not get it. Suejcatue to see me a number of limes, aud at length she said tbat she could extract the secret of the biding place of tbe mine if she could handle $10,000 but sbe promised tbat tbe money should never go out of my sight. At length I got tbe $10,000 together in bank notes and tbe gypsy began ber incauta tions. Sbe couuted tbe money, spriuk led it with earth, uiutered over it and said prayers without number. When she had fiuiabed she went away leaving the money in my bands tied up in brown paper, and as she cautioned . me not to touch it foe fear I would undo her work I put it np and kept it intact until she returned agaio. She paid me several visits, and each time took out the money, examined it carefully aud prayed over it. 1 held it for a time while she prayed and then she betd it aud prayed. This was done several times. At length no May 7, 1877, she said tbat all of her plans were working so well that io one more viitsbe would charm away the spell that bouud the secret of the mine, aud would, sbe thought, be able to lead me directly to it. Sbe again took tbe money, prayed over it and aked me to count it, so that I could see tbat it was all there. '1 don't want you to think,' she said to me, thst I would want to steal any of it.' I said : 'If you took tbat money, or fooled tun, 1 would kill you.' 1 saw tbat all my money was in the package, just as 1 bad given it to ber, aod then she carefully tied it up and put a string about it. -Now,' the said, 'the spell is broken, and io one more visit will be cast a?ide. But,' sbe added, 'no one must touch this package.' 1 promised to lock it np, but she said she wanted me to swear to it upon the Bible. I turned to get tbe Bible, and tbe mon ey was hardly out of my sight a mo ment. I turued again, and sbe bad the package extended toward me. I swore upon the Bible that 1 would not open it or allow any one else to do so, and took tbe package. Iwrote D. D. Trout' upon the back and made marks upon it wherever there was a fold of tbe paper, so that I cou!J tell if any one disturb ed it. Then I put it away. As she did not return and as my time was np when I was obliged to return tbe mon ey to tbe bank where I bad obtained it, 1 opened the package and found tbat it contained strips of newspaper cut to the size of bank notes, and that there wasn't a penny of my $ 10,000 left." Mr. Trout will begin a suit in Hod son county, New Jersey, where the gypsies have property, to recover his tconey. J'ew York Sun.
