WASHINGTON, Jane Iti—Below is given tho full text of the bill which has passed both houses of Congress and be oome a law, amending tho sixth subdi vision of section 3 244 of the revised statues, relating to dealers in leaf tobac co. It adds to that subdivision tho (ol lowing : IVoi>hlrd further , That dealers in leal tobacoo (other than retail doalors, as de fined in thu seventh subdivision of the seotion.) who do not deal in leaf tobac co otherwise than to sell, or offor for salo, or eonsign for sale on commission, to an amount not exceeding twenty-live thousand pounus in any one special tax year, only such leaf tobacco as they purchase or teccive in the haud directly from farmers or planters who hare pro. duced the same on land owned, rented or produced by tlicm, or received the sau.e as lent from their tenants, who have pruduced the same on such lai !> shall each be n quired to pay for carry ing on such business a special tax of $5 only. 11 any person, who haß paid such special tax shall be found to have purchased or received and sold, or con signed for sale on commission, more than 25,000 pounds of leaf tobacoo, such a 8 ia herein provided for, in any onesDecia| tax year, the commissioner of internal revenue is authorixed and directed to assess suoh person ao amount of tax equal to the difference between the spec ial tax paid by him and the special tax of $25 bereinbrforo imposed upon a dealer in leaf tobaooo. The olass of dealers to which the above is applicable has heretofore paid a special tax of $25. The reduction of this tax to $5 under the oondi'ions indi cated was reoommended by the commis sioner of ii.ternal revenue and concur red in unanimously not only by the Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committeo, but by bntb houses. In reporting the bill to the House, tho Ways and Means Committee said that in their opinion its passage would result in multiplying the number of dealers in leaf tobaoco, in creating a market for the same in neighborhoods now without a market ior such tobacco, and in thus causing many pounds of tobacco, whioh are now never exposed to sale to fiud their way to the manufac turer. Every failure is a step to suocess ; ev ery deteotion of what is false directs to ward what is true ; every trial exhausts some tempting form of error. Not only so, but scarcely any attempt is entirely a failure ; scarcely any theory, tbe result of a steady thought, is altogether false ; no temptiog form is without some latent churui derived from truth Whewell.

C., THURSDAY. JULY 1, 1880. RESCUED BY AX INDIAN. AN ADVENTULTLC IN THE BOUTTLWEST. When I was quite young, my father went as missionary to the Indians who lived in what is known as tho ited Riv er district Wo mado the voyage down the river from St. Joseph, Mo., io two canoes, whioh were drawn upon shore for us to sleep in at night, a bright tire bjing built in frout of them to keep off prowling animals. In this way our little parly, consisting of my father, mother, one elder sister, uiyse'f, and two boatmen journeyed to the mission station. The station WBB a long, low, double of logs, al reaiy "ocoMpied by 4 another missionary nauiedtMoCoy. He had lived, until our family came, without any other compan ion but a half-breed Indian called Tony. Supplies were sent to his lonely S[>ot by the B >ord of Missions and other friends from the States. These were brought down tho river in oanoes, and hauled up to the station on a rude sled by a yoke of stout oxen. One day McCoy and my father had gono to the river for a load of supplies. It was a day's journey to the landing and back. Tony had gone with them. No one was left at home but mother and us two girls. The day passed very pleasantly To ward noon, as we wero watching mother about her work, my sister suddenly clap ped her hauds, and cried out, "Oh, what a big dog J" We turned to the door, and my moth er uttered a cry of leiror, fur in the doorway there stood, not a dog, but a large black bear. He was probably drawn by the etiiell of the sugar and uiolases, for bears are very food of sweets. We were greatly frightened, and could not leave the cabin because the animal was between us and the door. If we could have got to the ladder and up the loft, we might have escaped that way ; but the barrels were in front of the laddet, and BO was Bruin. There was really no way of esoape, so my mother drew us 100 children close to her, and took refuge behind the great packing box where she had been at *ork, thus putting a slight barrier between us and our unwelcome visitor. A barrel of crackers was open, and we found out then that bears like oraok ers, for that fellow soon upset the bar rel and munched as many as he pleased, while we looked helplessly on, and saw our luxuries disappear. But be was anious to get at" the su gar, and soon left the crackers and be gan to paw and scratoh at the sugar bar rel, which was not open, and whioh stoutly resisted his efforts. He grew angry, and, with a fierce growl, gave it a smashing blow with his huge paw, and lifted his foot for anoth er, when a report from a rifle sounded in our ears, and we heard the ping of a ball just as Mr. Bruin rolled, a huge woolly heap, on the floor. The sound of a horse's feet followed, and, as my moth er hurried out from her refugo, our de liverer stood in the wide doorway. He was a stalwart Indian, with long black hair streaming half a yard down his baok, and a scarlet blanket wrapped around bis strong limbs. We children were almost as muoh afraid of him as of the bear. But all the Indians who came to the mission were Iriendly, and my mother knew this one. He was a Cher ? kee ohief, oalled Ma-shoon tire, whiob means "The Running Wind." "Ha 1 Squaw heap scare ? White papoose heap scare f" be cried, with a laugh. ''Me see traoks, track him in house! Sboote ! No hurt!" accompa nying his words with expressive pan tomime My mother told him we were not hurt, and thanked him for shooting the bear, in words whioh oould understand. "He Ihe 1 Bear muoh good meat 1" ■aid Ala shoon-tire. "Bear want eatee up you. Now you eatee up Bear." At my mother's request, be draggod the huge caroass outsido the door; but when the told him it was his bear, as he had shot it, he emphatically refused to olairn it. My mother thon gatherod up a pail ful of the soattered orackers and gave them to Ma ahoon-tire, who, when he loarned their use, seemed to be as de lighted with them aa the beor had been. Ho fillod tho oapauious hunting pouch s| Ilia side with tlicin, and then began ] to examine the goods whioh my mother had been taking out of the box when j she was interrupted by bis bearuhip Among other things there wero tw.j or three little cotton pocket handker ohiels, printed with figures of cats and I dogs and lar,;e A B (J's, in bright rIM. They had been sent to us children, but thegreut Chorokeo chief was BO delight ed with theui that aiy mother, grateful to biui for saving her from a great danger, : gave him two of them. He took them in great glee fronf my tfetcr'ri hand, tiod one on his streaming blaek hsir, and the other to the end of | his rifle barrel, by one of its corners i Then he paraded before the small looking- ! glue* and admired himself uotil heVa* | tired. " j 1 At length he turned to toy shrinking (f?4e jiister, said, "Little papooee makee Ma snoon-tire BIHTT Ma-hfSiTn- ' tire uiak> e litile white papoose fine ! j Big much heap fine!" And, taking from hiß pouch a lung string of brilliant beads, made of various colored glass, lie threw them over Iter ntok, pleasing her almost as much as the gay little hand kerchiefs had pleased him. Then he went out to the bear and cut the clawß from one of his lore paws, as a trophy. Having done this, he bounded upon his pony and rode gayly away, his handker chief peuions fluttoiing in the wind, a.id leaving our enemy slain upon the | Progress Since the War. Few people realize what astonishing ] progress has been mado io (his country since the war, notwithstanding the in i terruption to the industrial development caused by the panio 1873. In the four teen years since 1805 the p oduction of whoat has increased from 1-48 552.829 bushels to 448,750,000 ! ushcls ; of corn, from 704,427,853 bushels to 1,51 i,B!L9, 090 bushels ; of c.dton, from 2 228,987 bales to 5,020,387 bales, ai d of tobacco, from 183,31G,9F 3 pounds to 384.059 G59 pounds. Io other agricultural pr ducts tho increase has been prnportionutely great. According to a well known sta tistician, Mr K. P. Porter, the produc tion of wheat and barley has trebled ; corn, cotton and tobacoo more than doubted ; oats increased liearly 140,000,- f)00 bushels; potatooi nearly doubled, and hay increased nearly one-third The South has overy reason to be sat isfied with her contribution to the com mon prosperity The cotton crop of 1878 and 1879 was the largest ever raised The ten crops from 1852 to 1861 raised by slave labor numbered 34,995,440 bales. The ten crops of 1870 to 1879 inclusive, raised by free labor, numbered 41,454,743 baleß. In tobaoco also the South has achievtd a gratifying inorease in the annual yield, and it is believed' that at no distant day thero will be an enormous increase in the production of Southern corn. While the centre of sgrioultural production has moved swift ly westward it is believed that, with the deterioration of theso new lands and the steady fertilization of the soil in the older States, it will recede eastward again. Mr. Porter, from whom these state meuts sre derived, declares thai "exhaus tion" of wheat IsndH is an impossibility so long as farmers supply their lands with the necessary quantity of f>od. There need be no anxiety, therefore about the continued abuudaut yield of our soil, and "the possibilities of our ag ricultural interests, in the language of Mr. Porter, "are as yet an unknown quantity." The future undoubtedly has great things in store for the whole coun try and especially for the South, whioh, under the new retjime, and with honest and stable looal governments, has at Isst entered upon a new era of prosperity. - WOBLDLY-MINDKDNESB OBSCURES OUR SPIRITUAL SKY—Yeats ogo, we witnessed an eolipse of the sun by the moon passing over his bright faoe. During the eolipse the earth grew dark and sombre. The fowls began to seek their nightly test There was a strange, gloomy, molsnoholy shade eait all over nature. What was the matter ? The body of the moon was between us and the sun. So when the world with it* absorbing oares and transitory ohsrms gets between the soul snd Christ, the Sun ot righteousness, our hope oi heav en darkens, and the shade of a spiritual eolipse is thrown upon the pathway of life.

Ti I FC arc two insoluble enigmas, icipene Irable mysteries that baffle solution, and about which, perhaps, the public has be come t red ol surmises. An extremely witty and characteristic anecdote told ol Beacensfield will bear repeiiiion. An adherent from a distant o 'Untry brought his two sons to the then M . l> \ srai li, and asked him to give them a word of adtico on their introduction into life "Never try to ascertain," said tio illustrious statesman to the elder boy, "who was tho man who wore the iron mask, or you will be thought a ter rible bore. Nor do you," turning to the second, "ask who was the author of, Junius, or you will be thought a biggor boro than your brother." Walpnle wrote a very ingenious work to show—taking for his ba6e the conflict ing statements of history and biography —that no such person as Richßrd 111. over existed, or that, if he did, he eould have been neither a tyrant nor a hunch back.

Napoleon, who was •« the time s oaptive at St. Helena, admired the com position greatly Archbishop Whately and Sydney Smith aro both reputed io bo the au'hor. Since tho publication of that one, numorous imitations have been issued, but none have shown much nrig inality or literary skill, and have there fore vanished into the darkness of' merited oblivion. The National Journal of Education says, that in addition to the Presidential election this Summer, "another election will be quietly proceeding from M-iine to Oregon With no national eonven tion, or division of parties, or thunder ous campaign, waving of bannors, waste of whisky, or tapping of barrels of money, it will quietly proceed, io every township or county of our broad land. Before September there wili be an eleotion of 250,000 Bommon-sohool teachers to servo the country another year. These teaoh ers, for the noxt twelvo months, will be, by all odds, the most powerful body of people in the United States. They will do that sort of work which tells on tbo 5,000,000 coaimon-school children of the country in a manner no other set of peo ple can hope to rival. Any conclusion of the present campaign will be revised, within twenty years, by these 5,000,000 of scbool-ohildren, and that revision will be largely in accordaooo with the type of character and intelligence wrought out by these 250,000 public servants, a large majority of them young women, who will quietly take their places in the opening weeks of September, as teachers in the Amerioan common school." SOUTHERN WAR CI.AIMS —The bill passod by the Senate for payments al- J lowed by commissions of the Southern claims commission appropriates 9242,. 947 46 as follows : Alabama, 24; Arkansas, $31,489 33; Florida ( $3,470 ; Georgia, $38,094.45 ; Louisia na, $12,411.83 ; Missippi, $44 201 49 , N >rth Carolina, $14,784 50; South Carolina, $5,910 25; Tennessee, $44,- 515.76 ; Texas, $1,720 ; Virginia, $29, 272 36 ; West Virginia, $25,677.25.

NUMBER 4. i liuleigh Baptist Female Seminary Commencement. The closing exercises of this school look place OB the evening of the 2nd and 3rd ins'. The past session has been tho most prosperous and successful of its history. President Ilobgood and his uU« corps of teaohers are to be congratu lated on the xucoess of their work as well as on the character of the commence ment exercises. The Literary address was delivered to a full bouse on Wednes day evening by Prof C E Taylor, of Wake Forest College, and was iu all res pects 000 of the best and most appropri ate we ever heard. We were prepared to hear a good speech, and knew that Prof. Taylor was prepared both in bead aba nesri IQ seeoanuoaat* tro» expectations were far short of the learned and timely address given. It is worthy of many repetitions or the widest circu lation. The concert oo Thursday evening was brilliant, and gave pleasure to a large and appreciative audience. Prof. Hobgood has, to tbe regret of many of his friends and patrons in Ral eigh, concluded to move bis 6chool to Oxford, N C., and the next session will bo opened in that prosperous aud highly tarored village. The present corps »f teachers with one or two exceptions will continue with the school. Among the professors in this seminary are some of the ablest aud most experienced teachers in the State.

The Governors of the different States and Mayors of tbe principal oities were re quested to appoint delegates to repre sent such States and oities in tbe pre liminary meetings in the city of New Vork. The Governor of this Slate re quested the Boards of Trade of Wil mington and of Charlotte to designate a person to be appointed as delegate, Wilmington designated Donald Mcllae, and Charlotte, 11. Y.

On the 22nd of April an act was passed by Congress incorporating tbe association and authorising the Presideut to ap point two commissioners and two alter nates from each State and Territory up on the nomination of the Governor.
