DEN ISON,
THURSDAY MARCH 7, 1878.
The Smoke House Tax.
The complaint about what has
been aptly termed "the Smokehouse
Tax" is being revived. It is with-
out question an odious tax, and the
law will no doubt be amended next
year. We think, however, that an
important lesson may be learned
from this law, for it shows how easy
it is for men not veised in law mak-
ing, and in drawing up legal docu-
ments, to do the very thing they do
not intend to do. The farmers in
the Legislature ha;l the most to do
with the drafting of this portion of
the bill, as we understand, and con-
sequently the farmers of the Stale
cannot lay the blunder to the legal
fraternity.
The trouble with the law is that
it taxes a farmer's hogs and the corn
he feeds them, and then the meat
after it is cured. For example, this
fall the assessor will assess the farm-
ers' hogs and his corn, next year
after he has killed his hogs the as
sessor will drop around and assess
the meat in the smokehouse, hence
the farmer who is provident is taxed
twice on the same property. The
law will ot course be repealed next
winter, and we hope our next Leg
i slature will be wioe enough to avoid
making themselves ridiculous by
any such blundering legislation. It
isn't every good citizen who will
make a good legislator, and the peo-
ple should bear this in mind when
they come to make their nominations
in convention.
Pisatisfl.edU
A Vienna dispatch says the news-
papers are dissatisfied with the
peace conditions as far as they are
known. The papers express the
opinion that the most difficult phases
of the crisis is yet to be passed.
They say that nobody wished to dis-
turb the great result of the war, the
liberation of Christians, but while
demands calculated to lead to con-
flict with England have been drop-
ped by Russia, similar consideration
has not been shown for Austria. It
is stated that Count Andrassy will
make a full exposition of his policy
to the delegations which will meet
during the present week.

The Toledo Convention.
From the Sherman Couirer.
It seems the representation in the
Toledo Greenback Convention from
Texas was not very strong or very
, decided. J. W. Jennings, of Deni-
son, was there and assumed to speak
for the Greenbackers of Texas. By
what authority we do not know, as
we are not a member of the organi-
sation. Jennings, however, repre-
sented that there was no Independ-
ent Greenback organization in Texas
that could be relied upon ; and there-
fore, when it came the time to name
the man for the Executive Commit-
tee in Texas, Mr. Jennings asked
that this State be passed. Mr. Pom-
eroy says that either Mr. Jennings
or various greenback men in the
State have misrepresented facts.*.
That his information is that there is
a permanent organization of Green-
backers in the State outside of the
Democratic party. But if Mr. Jen-
nings is correct, all the work he
(Pomeroy) has been doing in the
State has been in the interest of the
Democratic party alone.
We are not so sure that Mr. Jen-
nings' representations as regards the
status of the Greenbackers in Texas
are not about correct. By what au-
thority he spoke we know not.
There are in this county several or-
ganizations that proclaim for inde-
pendent action, at the same time we
are sure there are members in them
who refuse to pin themselves entirely
to tire independent 01 ganization, but
will ac* with the party that gives
the most certain evidences of success
to the greenback cause.
Mr. Pomeroy seems much cha-
grined at this representation of green-
back matters in Texas, made by Mr.
Jennings; but when he visits the
State, and thoroughly acquaints him-
self with the political workings here,
we do not think he will find Mr.
Jennings' statement far wrong.
It will be recollected that Dr.
Mudd was sentenced to Dry Tortu-
gas for setting John Wilkes Booth's
leg. While a prisoner the Doctor
rendered efficient service to cholera
patients, and a bill is now before
Congress for his relief, in considera-
tion of this humane service.
The work of removing the ob-
structions in the Danube has been

The above represents the Shortest and

most populous and "nteresting portions
of the country, with many large and im-
portant cities upon its line. It passes

Haute, Indianapolis, Richmond, Piqua
(or Dayton), Urbann, Columbus, New-
ark, Steubenville, Pittsburg, Cresson,

SGRIBNER'S MONTHLY FOP 1877-78
Without recalling the excellence of the
pact, the publisher*of Scribnei '* Monthly
announce for the year to corjie the follow
ing papers;
THE PICTURESQUE SIDE OF AMER-
ICAN FARM LIFE.
This subject will be treated in a series
of separate papers engaged from writers
who sland in the front rank among
Americans, both in qualities of style and
in keen insight of nature. Mr. R. E.
Robinson, authoi of a delightful paper on
" Fox-Hun'ing in New England" in the
January number, will represent the same
section in this series. John Burroughs,
whose papers on similar topics have been
a highly prized and popular feature of
Scribner, will write of Farm Life in New
York. Maurice Thompson, the poet-
naturalist. will describe the characteristics
of Western farming, of which but little
has been written. It is expected that the
illustration of this series will be of a re-
fined and typical character, commensurate
with the subject-matter. It is thought
that no paper or series of papers yet issued
in Scribner will so fully realize the con-
stant desire of the magazine to keep out
of the ruts, and, both in text and illustra-
tions, to obtain quality rather than quan-
tity, and to print fresh, strong md deli-
cate work from original sources.
"ROXY,"
by Edward Eggleston (author of " The
lloosier Schoolmaster," &c.) This new
novel will doubtless be the most import-
ant American serial of the year. The
first number was published in November.
Those who have read it in manuscript
declare "Roxy" to be much the most
striking and remarkable story this author
has ever written. It is illustrated by one
of the ablest of the younger American
painters—Mr. Walter Shirlaw, president
of "The American Art Association."
AMERICAN SPORTS.
Some of the most novel and entertain-
ing of these papers are yet to appear, the
scenes of which will be in the West, the
Middle States, the South, New England
and Canada.
OUT-OF-DOOR PAPERS,
by John Burroughs, author of "Wake
Robin," &c., will contain not only articles
ion Birds, but on ''Tramping," "Camp-
ing Out," and kindred topics. Mr. Bur-
roughs' papers will begin in the January
number, the first being entitled "Birds
and Birds," and illustrated by Fidelia
Bridges.
ARCHITECTURE OF BIRDS.
Dr. Thomas M. Brewer will contribute
four exquisitely illustiated articles on
birds'-nests. which every lover of nature
will delight in. Dr. Brewer has probably
the finest collection of birds' eggs in the
world to draw upon for the illustration of
these papers.
THE SADDLE-HORSE.
Col. George E. Waring, with whose ex-
cellent work of various sorts our readers
are familiar, contributes two illustrated
prticles on the horse. He treats specially
of saddle-horses and their use for pleasure
and for sport, including road-riding, fox-
hunting and racing. The nature of the
English thoroughbred and that of his
Kastern progenitor (the Arabian) are
fully considered iu relation to these uses.
SAXE HOLM.
New stories by this popular writer will
be given in early numbers of Scribner,
beginning with "Joe Hale's Red Stock-
ings," to appear in January. This "nov-
elette" chronicles au episode of the late
war for the Union.
" HIS INHERITANCE,"
By Adeline Trafton, so well begun in the
Midsurrmer Holiday nurnber. will be con-
tinued nearly through the year. It will
be found to be of increasing interest to
the very end.
"A KNIGHT OF FORTUNE,"
iHjalmer Hjorth Boyesen's new novel, will
be begun in Scribnei at the conclusion of
"His Inheritance." It will reveal a phase
of American society undreamed of by
most of our readers, and will be certain to
increase the reputatioi of the writer as a
master of English and of his art.
THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENTS
will continue to employ the ablest pens in
America, and will include the present ad-
mirable summary of English publications.
Besides the special articles above enumer-
ated, the magazine will contain poems,
sketches, essays, reviews, and shorter
stories of the highest character. A large
practical reduction in price is made by an
increase in the number of pages.
THE ILLUSTRATIONS
of the magazine, in variety and excellence
of design and in typographical executio.i,
will continue to be in advance of those of
any other popular magazine at home or
abroad.
Subscription price, $4.00 a year, pay-
able in advance to us or to an y bookseller.
No club rates or other discounts to sub-
scribers. The magazine is worth all it
costs, and its circulation is increasing in
a constant and steady ratio from year to
year.
