About Sending Fruits.—Wo are in frequent, 
receipt of packages of perishable fruits from 
all parts of the country. Some are sent by mail. 
Do not send fruits by mail. They arc usually 
half or wholly destroyed when they arrive. 
Beside, a closed package Is oharged postage at 
letter rates; aud although the sender may have 
prepaid at book or newspaper rates, when they 
roach us the added postage amounts to a dollar 
or I wo. Again, when sent by express put in the 
package the name and address of the sender, 
and any Information you desire to impart or 
inquiry you desire to make concerning it. If 
yon choose to write by mail in addition do so. 
But wo havo rceiovod several packages about 
which wo have no Informal inn whatever—not 
even the names of the parties forwarding them. 
And .vet they have evidently been forwarded 
for tin* purpose of eliciting information. This 
will explain why such us have not boon noticed

Kansas state Fair.—Under date ot Sept. 18. 
Mr. J. Jones of Perry, Kan., writes ns thus 
favorably In regard to the recent Kansas State 
Fafr:—“Wo attended our State Fair the past 
week, and found things very satisfactory. I will 
say the representation of Stock was better than 
T expected to see. Though we have seen better 
horses and cattle In the older State Fail's, yet at 
the samo time the show was better than we ex¬ 
pected to find hero. Some very lino specimens 
of cattle and horses of all work were on the 
ground. The sheep had but a small representa¬ 
tion In numbers, yet the American Merinos Were 
hard to beat. The long wools were not. so good. 
Hogs, from small pigB to the size of six hundred 
and sixty pounds, nnd of the most approved 
grades, were fully represented, nnd good. There 
was a full supply of reapers nnd mowers, drills, 
plows, &c., &o. The building for the display of 
the Fine Arts, nnd Fruits, Vegetables, Grains, 
Arc., was tilled with the choicest that any land 
could boast- 
“Grain Is now a shade lower. Wheat from 
8$c. to $1; corn. 35c.; oats, 30c.; potatoes, 60c.; 
sweet potatoes, 75o. Hogs are held from $3.50 to 
$4 gross. Cattle lower, and only sheep firmer.”

Duty on Imported Stock.—S. MALLORY, Akron, 
O,, writes us that bo Imported some fowls which 
arrived in Now York Sept. 5lh, and theexpross 
company wants to collect duty on them also a 
Charge of $10 (over the regular express charges) 
for faking care ol' thorn on tho pnssage across, 
71c thinks lie has seen It stated that stock Im¬ 
ported for breeding purposes Is admitted duty 
free and asks if lie Is right. Ho Is; but the im¬ 
porter must haw the oerl.ificato of the United 
Sfntes Consul nt tho port from whence the ani¬ 
mals were shipped, certifying that they are im¬ 
ported for breeding purposes and not for sale. 
If Mr. M At. lory did not have such certificate he 
must pay tho duty; hut probably on procuring 
one the duty will he remitted to him. Tho charge 
of $10 for care during the voyage is liberal but 
probably not exhorbltant.

Silk Worm Eggs In Louisiana. - Mr. JOHN 
Roccrtt, n native of Milan, Italy, has, the South 
Land says, resided for years In New Orleans, nnd 
has boon engaged in the production of Bilk worm 
eggs for the Italian fenders for two years. He 
bus found this production profitable, and that 
every card, containing about 40.000eggs, is worth 
$10 in gold to Now Orleans. The Louisiana co¬ 
coon is fully 1 1 1 roo times as large ns those derived 
from the Feed imported from Japan ; and while 
three crops can be matured in Louisiana, only 
one is made in Italy. He says the Louisiana 
cocoons arc tho admiration or Milan, and nro 
eagerly sought for. Ho thinks Louisiana is des¬ 
tined to produce silk ng successfully as Califor¬ 
nia. It is a subject worthy of attention by the 
poopleof the South, certainly: and Mr. Roocnt’s 
practical success enforces its Importance.

The Competency of Fair Reporters.—The New 
England Homestead 6tty6;—“In looking over 
Ihe reports for t he Boston daily papers of fairs 
that have been held, we are struck with the 
•inoompotency of the men who are sent out to 
make the reports. They seem to know more 
about ward caucuses and horse tints than they 
do about agrfmiliure. In tact, thay have about 
:ts much fitness for the business ns Juans had 
for heaven." II Ihe*' know much about horse 
trots they nro better qitnllfled to report, many 
“agricultural fairs,” so culled, than some ngri- 
cullnml editors wo know of. The lairs need 
criticism, we t'uiio>, more than (lie reporters. 
surrender it. In ibis action they were 
backed by public opinion, the Committee of 
Seventy, and received the legal indorsement 
of the eminent lawyer. Charles O’Connor. 
There was a dead lock. City business was 
at a stand-still. The Corporation Counsel, 
Mr. O'Oorman, being consulted by Mayor 
Hall, advised the revoking of bis orders 
and tlm recognition of Km Comptroller and 
his Deputy. Tlm Mayor’s power to remove 
the Comptroller, under the charier, was ques¬ 
tioned. Mayor Halt., backed down. City 
business resinned its wonted course, subject, 
to the restraints of the injunction in force 
and the new Deputy Comptroller, 
And, finally, the parties who abstracted 
tiie vouchers from the Comptroller's office 
have been discovered and arrested, and it is 
asserted they are ready to reveal the names 
of those who instigated the deed. It bus 
also been discovered that other important 
vouchers had previously been taken from 
the Comptroller’s office. The Committee of 
Seventy has made a statement of the City 
Debt, which shows how the money has 
been obtained for the use of the thieves who 
have controlled the City Government, It. 
is found that January 1,18G9, the city debt 
was $86,293,929.59; January 1, 1870, $48.- 
003.741.59; January 1, 1871,' $73.373,552.02; 
September 14, 1871. $97.387,525 03—an in¬ 
crease of $23,113,973.01 since the first of 
January, 1871. 
Sncli is the history in brief and showing 
of the rascalities, so far as developed, of (he 
powers which have ruled Ibis city, while 
Respectability has refused to “ meddle with 
politics,” winced, squirmed and grumbled 
The New Jersey State Fair is in progress Rt 
Wavorly as we write (Sept. 23), and has been n 
great success so far as attendance is concerned. 
The exhibition of fruits is large and very fine, 
embracing some spool mens from California ; ol’ 
vegetables, excellent and extensive; ditto of 
agricultural implements and maohinery; of 
horses especially trotting sfoelt—superior; of 
other live stock, meager und not especially 
noticeable, except perhaps in one or two indi¬ 
vidual instances, Wc congratulate our neigh¬ 
bors across the line upon the general excellence 
and success of the exhibition. 
ON THE MAKE. 
This phrase, though vulgar, or “slang- 
ish,” is decidedly expressive aud compre¬ 
hensive. Ami it. is most applicable, aboni 
these days, to a great many people—not only 
to those in the common walks of life, but to 
a goodly number who occupy promineut po¬ 
sitions, including National, State, City and 
other officials. Indeed, the corrupt and 
“gymfiscating” example of those elevated to 
place and entrusted with power by the grace 
ami votes of the people, is corrupting all 
classes, so that wo know not whom to trust 
in any transaction involving dollars and 
cents. In tlie light, of recent developments 
it requires no microscope to discover the 
iniquitous and extensive plunderings of vari¬ 
ous prominent officials—for all who run, or 
even walk, may read charges and proofs of 
the robberies perpetrated upon City, County, 
Btnic and National treasuries. 
The recent discovery and exposure of the 
corruptions, and peculations on a grand 
scale, of the New York City and County 
officials—showing that, the tax-payers of 
Manhattan Island have been robbed of tens 
of millions of dollars within a very few 
years—is closely followed by the extensive 
defalcations of officials of the Nalional Gov¬ 
ernment. For example, a Deputy Paymaster 
In the Army robs the Government of half 
a million, while an employe in the New York 
Post-Office ” absorbs” over a hundred thou¬ 
sand dollars, and is not even arrested 1 Even 
the Collector of the Port of New York (said 
to hold tho most profitable office in the gift 
of the President) is charged, by the chief 
organ of ids own party, with defrauding the 
Government of a largo amount. 
With such violations of trust and honor, 
and lack of integrity, ns nro exhibited by 
those in Authority, wlint wonder that there 
is so much dishonesty, fraud and Swindling 
among the people! If those to whom we 
Sumac tu Mlxnourl.- - A correspondent ot llie- 
Spi'iogilelil Loader says Hint the tanneries of 
St. Louis import Sumac largely when It might 
be supplied from Southwest Missouri, and lie 
adds:- “The Missouri Sumac Is only worth at 
present $2 per hundred in the leaf, while that 
of Virginia and Maryland is worth from $3 to 
£,3. r .i>, merely because it Is ground. I have made 
arrangements in St. Louis to have its value 
ilemoilstrated by a fair analysis, I ho result of 
which will determine fis true value in the mar¬ 
ket, Anybody enu work It; is cured Just as clo¬ 
ver hay: should not have the dew fall on it 
more than one night, and must not get wot.” 
Too Bony to Attend Fair*.—A friend of ours 
told us tho other day that ho was too busy to 
attend fairs. Ho wants to got things snug' for 
winter first, nnd then heoatt afford to go and see 
such men as can give him Information and learn 
how they do what It Is desirable should be done. 
He regards it as more Important in bis farm 
economy that hla work should be done when It, 
ought to be, and that ho show a bnlanoo on tho 
right sldo of tho ledger, than that he show a big 
pumpkin, a beautiful apple, or a sleek Sliort- 
Hortl at a fair. He thinks the Influence of his 
example is quite as potent for good, and ho as¬ 
serts that ho knows it to be more profitable to 
himself. 
A Fair Grumbler.—A friend of ours has been 
to bis local fair, and comes to us on paper with 
serious complaints ns to Its management. Well, 
why don't bo work at home to reform matters? 
Don't herald nil the fallings of your neighbors 
to all tho world, but try to correct them quietly. 
It is wlltj fairs a good deni ns it is with polities— 
the class who ought, to control and keep fairs 
respectable and useful do not attempt to do it, 
but get a long way off on their pedestal of re¬ 
spectability and smite upon their breasts nnd 
thank God they nro not ns other men. Why 
don't they go to work ?
