PROPOSED TAX ON OrNS.
The Hon, Grantley F. Berkeley bas written a letter
advocating a tax opines. Be says that • tax on guns
would not only save the lives of useful and ornamental
creatures, but it would obviate murder to some extent
by keeping fatal weapons from the hands of drunken
men. Nally • sot would rather keep his money to
expend in beer than pay it away to the Excise. There
would be no more d.fficuity in collecting a gun tax than
there is in enforcina the dog tax.
"A Dorset incumbent relates" three eases of the
danger incurred by the incautious use of guns in the
county. He says "Some little time ago in lad was
seated in *cottage. employed in tying on with twine
the lock of &gun, that being the only mode by which it
mold be attached ; and, moreover, it could only to
fined on with the lock at full cock. The gun was loaded,
and, an might be expected, went off, wouuding his
, mother, who wag standing in the doorway. fortunately
not with fatal results ; but she did not leave her bed
for two months, and barely escaped with life. In the
; spring of last year • boy bad • gun given to him to
I scare birds with, his employer also providing Litu with
a ',here of lead hammered into the rough shape of •
ballet, and purposely left jagged to make • whistling
noise. In the cour.o of the day the boy leaned on the
gun with the MUSA° under his arm ; it exploded, oil
! the'honi.:-Inide bullet went conirlAely through I
and in slew days the poor boy .101 dead. A • Lett
time back I was sitting in my Own house, when some
shots from a gun fired in the public road, not far dis-
tant, by a small boy, broke the window. scattering the
glass on • book which my daughter was reading at a
tible in the middle of the room. Now, I have no
reason to suppose that I am more unlucky than others,
or that this piles enjoys an unetviable monopoly of
gunshot wounds, and so if this be the experience of a
single person I have no doubt that the dmgers of the
present indiserhuinate use of guns is sufficiently great
to roll for some restrictions. _

Woe's Paotrre. —Mrs. Dr. Major Mary Walker
has recently been walking the streets of Cincinnati in
what is described as "semi-male attire," This did so
excite, stimulate, and arouse the ambition of a young
woman named Ida Price that she made an appearance
In complete trousers, unmitigated mat, and en absolute
coat. Whereupon, we grieve to my, a stony-hearted sad
highly inconsistent policeman, who had permitted Mrs.
Walker to walk without interfersoce, seised the
unfortunate Miss Psise and carried her to the Adios-
house, in which, at the last amounts, she was howling
at the despotism of man. —New York Tribune.
