It is a noted fact that popes are the longest lived citizens in the Old World, and the Springfield (Mass.) Republican has just made the discovery that the presidents are the longest lived officers we have in this country. The business of being president, is a healthy busi ness, as will be seen below: and that js. probably the .reason why- so many wish tfi he president. The Eevubli- cm says: " - "Except Lincoln, who was shot at fifty-six-, and Polk, who died at sixty four, not one in the list Grant of course, excepted-failed to teach six ty-five, while Jefferson, Madison, both the Adamses and Van Buren, passed foar-score.fr) FEDERAL TAXATION. f8 The imposition of taxes, in one form or another, for the support of the gov- ernmenjt, isToqeltf heecesgary evUs I Xf laciety. .

I wish to speak lies in the counties of Transylvania and Jackson, and : is known as ;s the Hogback Range. Brevard, the county; seat of Transyl vania, is twenty; miles north of this range, as the crow flies. The High lands of Macon county are ten miles to the west. This range, has at its highest elevation, Great . Hogback, an altitude of four thousand eight hun dred feet, and. commands one of the finest ; outlooks -in this whole great chainfFrom its summit,- looking southward, the vast tract of South Carolina and Northern Georgia lies as a great map before you, while on your leit. the French. Broad, that pearl of North Carolina rivers, rising at your feet, winds noiselessly away t rough verdant and smiling forests and mead ows, dotted here and there with little hamlets, the whole suggestive of peace and contentment, until it is finally lost to vision. Northward are the Balsam mountains, their cable forms outlined against the sky, clad in ever green foliage. Turning in another direction, a bold, ragged line is seen extending along the horizon, the peaks of the Great' Smoky chain, their pinnacles ever 5 wrapped ' in fleecy clouds, seventy miles away. To the west is Chimney Top, at whose base; in neat cottages, Governor Hampton and other Southerners of note spend their gammer months. Farther on is Whitesides,4be monarch mountain of this section, rising nearly 5.000 feet above tide water. . Its precipitous sides are scarred by the wearand tear of aires, while at its extremity, known as "The; Deail's Court House," one can drop a stone over a thousand feet into the blue below, nt dwelling lor his Satanic Maiesty. In the distance, oteoley, the ttaybun Bald, ana minor peaks are distinctly visible. In clear weather you can see Irom tnis point Movnt Mitchell, eighty miles away The top of the Hogback is an elevated plateau, sloping gradually from east to west, where its streams unite with the Tuckasegee river. This plateau is nearly ten miles in extreme length, and from one to three in breadth, the greater portion of which is covered with impenetrable thickets of rhododendrons and mountain laurel, with here and there little bays or in lets of open timber land. It was my fortune, in the winter of 1874, to camp out in this secluded spot for five. months, hunting the deer and bear.

It is too good to be true, that story about Ben Butler's going to Colorado to turn shenherd. It cannot be that LBen is about 'to encase his noble rpaunch in a berger's vest and checker board his bulging calves in ribbons of I many' colors. Ben has always gnt his living by aooK or by crook, but never by the shepherd's crook ; and though he has often piped all hands to quart- era he never did nor never can pipe Phyllis to the garden gate beneath the twinkling stars. The spooning that Ben has done was not of that kind the P? ? poet sang who loved to sport with Amaryllis in the shade And with the tangles of Neaera's hair " His spoons were of another and a sterner sort.'

C., quietly in vestigating the afi'airs of the tnrrshal's office, under instructions from Attorney-General Devens, and Deputies Franks and Keid were there attending court, Franks, suspecting his sin was about to find him out, left for Wash ington. Beid and Franks were in bed together, and the latter, being nervous from guilty fear, imagined that he heard a foofstep on the porch. Rais ing up, he said, "My God, Reid, they're coming," -Reid said, 1 reckon not"; but Franks only, took time; to say. 'Take care of my saddle-bags : they contain important papers that must not be seen," and .before Keid could reply Franks had jumped through the window, and, clad 3 only v' in night- clothes, ran away from his imaginary pursuers. At the house of a friend, five miles distant; he obtained clothing, and came to this city for the purpose: he says, of .exposing Marshal Douglass's sins.

A Boston millionaire, who appeared the other day in a. public place, wear ing a preternatuf ally briliiant pair of boots, was asked, who blacked them, and proudly responded tnat he did it himself.
