"-"-An experienced traveler, on being congratulated recently on the pros pect of going abroad, - repliedf 'Don't; I've seen that elephant; it's taost all trunk' Inde-other si The Editor of the Goshen rtendent had the ear-ache the day, and the price of cotton wa3 eoon raised in Goshen. Port Jervis At t&e junction of the Delaware) river with the Navesink at Port Jer vis, in a laurel grove, is a flat stone which is marked with boundary lines so that a man can put his foot on three Stes at the same tinre, New York, 2w Jersey, and Pennsylva nia. The frog he is a pretty bird, when Dressed up in his best; he wears a spotted coat and pants, a white neck tie and vest. Ho started out a small tadpole, with neither arms nor legs, but now he scoots ' o'er land and wave with quadrupedal pegs. A repentant bride wrote to her V3arent3 torn across the seas: the mo tion of a screw steamer is like riding a gigantic camel that has the heart disease, and you do not miss a sin gle throb. I know of nothing to compare with it for boredom, unless it be your honeymoon when you have married for money. It is related of George Clark, the celebrated negro minstrel, that, be ing examined as a witness, ho was severely interrogated by the attor ney, who wished to break down his evidence. "You are in the negro minstrel ousiness, 1 believer in quired the lawyer. "Yes sir," was the .prompt reply. "Isn't that a rather low calling?" demanded the lawyer. "I don't know but whati; is sir," replied the minstrel, 'but it is so much better than my father's that I am rather proud of it." "What was your father's calling?" "He was a luwycr," replied Clark, in a tone of regret that put the audience in a roar. The lawyer let him alone. LIST OF POST-OFFICES. TAXATigtt AND INDEBTEDNESS. x The bill which limits the ion deduct- of indebtedness from thtf amount of assessable property to one thousand dollars, and which passed the Senate the other day.pre scribes an unjust rule in taxation. The bill was intended to reach men who, although possessed of large property and wealth, do not pay any taxes. That they do not pay their share of taxes is not tho fault of our present system, but the fault of the Assessors. If the Assessors do their duty and appraise property as the law dictates, at its fair cash value, then there will be no inequalities, and the indebtedness ought to be deducted; and if it is not deducted a large amount of property must pay double, taxation. Take for example a certain block on First street in this city. Under the present manner of making as sessments the Assessor puts it down at say fifty thousand dollars. Now examine the rent roll of that block, and it is found to bo paying the owner one thousand dollars per month twelve per cent, per annum on one hundred thousand dollars. Then it ought to have assessed at just doub'o what it is; because prop erty which pays one per cent, per month on a certain sum is worth that sum at a cash valuation. But how does it turn out in prac tice? The owner of the block bor rowed fifty thousand dollars to erect the building, and he is in debt fifty thousand dollars, and, deducting the debt on the building, he stands as nothing on the Assessor's books, and pays no taxes although his building is paying him twelve per cent, on fifty thousand dollars over and above the interest on the debt he owes. Th&is, of course, a supposed case, although there are several in the city very near like it, and it is be cause oMhese examples tho Senate has takerMhe course it has. The present practice of the Assessors in rating property at one-half or two thirds its -value is all wrong, but the principle of the Senate bill is still worse .because there are many men in the'eommunity-jyhose property is assessed at all it is worth, and upon such this new bill, if it becomes a law, will fall with severity. It would be better to leave the law as it is, and trust to the Assessor and Board of Equalization to carry out the old law properly.

Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every subject. Printed from new type, and illustrated with Several Thousand Engrav ings and Maps. Tho work originally pubis hed under the title, of The New Ameiuoan C'vci.op.r.iu was completed in li0;t, since which time the wide circulation which it has attained in all parts of the United States, ami the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of sc ience, literature, ami art, have induced thetditorsand publishers to subiuit it to an exact and thorough revis ion, and to i.-sno a n:v edition entitled Tun American Cyclc ri.TT j a . Within the last ten years tho progress of discovery in every department of knowl edge has made a new work of r ferenco an imperative want. . The movement of political Affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, find their fruitful application to the industrial and nsefrd arts and the com mit nee and re lincioent of social life, tireat wars and con sequent revolutions have occui'ed, invtdv ing natioi:al ch;iuges of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own country, which v.-as nt its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and industrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have lcen made lv the indefati gable explorersof Africa. Ihe great ltohticai revolutions of the l ist decade, with the natural result of the lapse of tuie, have brought into public view a multitude of new nu n, wlm.;? linnies are in every one's mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. CJreat battles have been fought and import ant sieges maintained, of which tho details are as yet preserved only in the newspa pers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and authentic hstory. In preparing the present edition tor the press, it has accordingly leen the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish dn accurate account of the most recent dis- ovtrit in science, of every fresh produc tion in liteiatnre. and of the latest inven tions in the practical arts, as well as to give succinct and original record of tho prog ress of po'itifal and historical events. The work has been legun after long and care fnl preliminary labor, and with the mo st ami le rcfourccBfor carrying im to a successful termination. None of tho original stereotype plates have beeeu used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new Cyclopaedia, with the same plan and com pass as its predecessor, but with a far great er pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience and en larged knowledge. The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial ef fect, but to give greater lucidity ami force to tho explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural histo ry, and depict the most famous and remark able features of scenery, architecture, and art, as well as tho various processes of me chanics and manufactures. Although in tended fo rinstruction rather than embellish ment, no pains have leen spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an ad mirable feature of the Cyclopredia, and worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, Eayable on delivery of each volume. It will e completed in sixteen large octavo vol umes, each .containing alout 800 pages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous colored Lithographic Maps.
