THE TAX LAW.


In our last paper, we said that we would post.
pone the consideration of Mr.. Archbolds COM
munication on the tax law. We then intended TO
answer it this week; but as we are about leaving
home on business in Pennsylvania. we musst deerf
our reply.
If Mr.. Archbold would suggest some three or
four other amendments to the tax law similar to
the one proposed in his address to the people of
Monroe and Belmont counties, we do not know
that We would have so much objection to his
course. The amendment there proposed is that
the clause taxing the capital employed in the pur-
chase Of grain at our merchant mills be repealed
and tax on costly furniture and gold and silver
plate be substituted. Now tLis Is a very fair
amendment, and one which we could hardly have
supposed would have been proposed by an advo-
cate of this law. We could propose several; and
one would be that that part of the law taxing farm
ers and laborers where they have notes at interest
taken in the ordinary of business, be repeal
ed
For the life Of us, wc cannot see why it is that
Mr.. Archbold is eternally splitting his spite at
Samuel Medary. 1t strikes us that Mr. Medary
has done as much for the good of the Democratic
party in Ohio, as Mr.. Archbold. That Mr.. Media
ry has labored as long and faithfully as Mr.. Arch.
bold, no one will doubt. What has Mr.. Medary
said Of that portion of the democratic party who
chose to vote for the tax law. Not one word that
we now recoect. II is crusade on the part of
Mr.. Archbold against Mr. Medary without any
cause or provocation
Mr.. Archbold has sent us No. 10, OF his series
on this subject, in which he takes occasion to speak
in harsh manner of others of the democratic
party. We have not yet determined to publish it.
We have no desire to make our paper the vehicle
through which prominent democrats may be at
tackled by those on whom the accused have never
bestowed thought.

ORIGINAL ANECDOTE OF GEN
JACKSON.

The Washington correspondent oi
the Boston Post, relates the following
characteristic anecdote of the old hero.
and refers to it as strikingy iIustra.
tive Of his remarkable aptness in judg.
ing human character. The life of Jack.
son doubtless abounds in similar remin.
iscences; and it will devolve upon his
future biographerto preserve them from
oblivion UniOa.
ORIGINAL ANEcDoTE.-ln the winter
of 1892, President Jackson conferred
the mission to Russia upon Justly dis
tinguished son of Pennsylvania. Be
fore the ewE-appointed minister, ,how-
ever, had departed on his mission, he
deemed it due TO the President to ask
his counsel in reference to the selec-
ton of secretary of legation. The
President declined all interference and
remarke, to the minister that the Uni
ted States government would hold him
responsible for the manner in which
he discharged his duties, and that he
would consequently be at liberty to
choose his own secretary. The minis
ter returned his respectful acknowledge
ments; but, before taking a final leave.
sought his especial advice in regard to
a young gentleman then in the service
of the State Department, and who was
highly recommended by the then sec
retary. Gen. Jackson promptly said:
81 advise you, sir, not TO take that man.:
heis mol a good judge of preaching."-
The minister seemed puzzled, and oh
served that the objection needed ex-
planatIon. 81 am able to give it," said
the old hero; and he thus continued:
"On last Sabbath morning, attended
divine service in the Mathodst Epis-
copal church, in this city. There !
listeaed to soul-inspiring sermon by
Professor Durbin of Carlisle--one of the
ablest pulpit orators in America. Seat
ed in IL pew near me, observed this
Identical young man, apparently an at.
tentive listener. On The day following,
he came into this cbfmber, on public
business, when | had the curiosity to
ask his opinion of the sermon and the
preacher. And what think you, sir?
The young upstart, with consummate
assurance, pronounced that sermon all
froth, and Professor Durbln humbug!
/ took the liberty of saying to him:-
MY young man, you are humbug
yourself, and Unit knowiL' And now,"
continued the venerable old man, his
eyes lighted up with intense animation,
"rest assured, my dear sir, that man
who is not better judge of preaching
than that, is wholly unfit to be your
companion. And besides," he added.
"if he were the prodigy the Secretary
of State represents him 10 be, he would
be less anxious to confer his services
upon you-he would rather be anxious
to retain them himself" The Presi-
dents advice was. of course. followed
by the ambassador; and the young
mans subsequent career Of vice and
folly, proved that the Generals esti-
mate Of his character albeit founded up
on commonplace incident, was sub
stantially correct.

down to US by patriot hands from the

it broke upon the ears of the multitude
in front of the Carpenters Hall in Phil

1t was announced in the churches,and
the great congregation sang hosannas
to the God of battles and swelled the
anthem of the free.
1t was proclaimed at the head ofthe
army and the battalions were eIectri-

THE TRIALS or MARGARET LINDSAY.
THE FORkSTERs. by Prof WILSON. For sale by
VIM. H. Graham. New York.
WE turn with pleasant rccollectons these
leaves The mind of Wilson was a shining and still
more burning light for long a period, that a
pleasant glow still rises the thought Of him His
best genius indeed, was for his time, plentiful
ready sweet rather than exquisite or profound ii
adorned aud filed the day. We thank him for easy
tears and careless laughter. His view of human
nature either in literature in life, is searching
and neither his humor nor pathos sufficiently deep
rooted 10 be of great permanent value His charac
ters want individuality. Great gcniuses have the
godlike power Of showing in the forms they create
what is general and what is specific, combined in
harmony. Lesser minds like Wilson, show one to
the exclusion of the other His forms have gene
raj human interest, but lack individuality
He has healthy moral sense, though he shows a
cniiy 20 vice and crime little understood by those
who think themselves most moral il is because he
feels that where the heart though it runs as,ray is
no. corrupted at the centre hope should be seadiast
patience boundlcss. He vcnera,cs those instincts OF
tenderness, mercy and faith which show themselves
ia Woman ON such occasions, and which ifthey often
fail, have sometimes success that outweighs a
thousand tliurosthe success OF an angelic ministry.
We love in this writer his large and loving heart.
IL Is cLildlike feels need Of economy or exclu-
sion; the more fair and kindly human shapes there
are 10 icel for the more feeling he has for them
He has apprehension Of almost all kinds Of ex
cellencc and where ii is not deep ii is lively and
tender He is capable of great fitness OF emotion
but without any morbdness: he walks like a shep
herd amid the open fields and the flow OF the free
air. and clear eyes OF the blue heavens have pur
fed while they have strengthened his frame 1t is
this feeling OF the open fields and of common bu
manty that makes his prose, and still more his po

in am other way. Even his difiusencss is pardon
