"STEAM" TAX BILL.

The following is a copy of the bill IN
troduced into the Senate by the Sena.
tor from Macon, Major Bean, and over
which much merriment was had:--
AN ACT TO provide for an ad valo-
rem tax on the amount Of all steam
blown off or emitted during the ses.
sion of the General Assembly.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly Of
the State Of Missouri, as follows:
Sec. l. Every member of the Cen
eral Assembly shall pay an ad valorem
tax on the amount of steam blown oil
or emitted by him during the session of
the legislature, quantity and quality re-
aIi,ively considered, TO be approPria'
ted to the support of common schools.
Sec. Q. II shall be the duty of the gau-
ger and inspector of oils, whiskey, mo-
lasses and vinegar TO provide himself
with suitable measures and instruments
to determine the quantity and test the
quality of all steam blown off or emit
ted, and shall certify the amount and
strength of such steam TO the Auditor
of public accounts, who shall deduct
the amount of each members ad valo-
rem,ax for steam blown off, from the
amonnl due to him for pay and mileage
and if the amount Of the ad valorem
steam tax due from any member shall
exceed his pay and mileage; the surplu.
tax of such member shall be certified
10 and paid out of the treasury of the
county which he represents and if he be
a Senator it shall be paid out of the
treasury of all the counties represented
by him share and share alike.
Sec. 3. 1.-THE General Assembly shal
be of opinion that the surplus steam
tax of any member would break th'
treasury of his county or ofall the coun
ties of his district, and render the sam'
bankrupt, in such case it shall be the
duty of the General Assembly TO pas
bill for the relief of the county or dis
trict thus rendered Bankrupt.
The above bill of the Major was wei
conceived and was an admirable hit a
many members. 1t was no doubt yer,
annoying to business men to be force
to sit and hear those glib-tongued, emp'
headed members elbow of steam" unit
they become so befogged as not I
know the question before the House a
though attempting TO speak upon it.
Major Bean was one of the most us'
full and popular members of the Sena'
and had the entire legislature been con
posed of such men, much money wou
have been saved TO the State, or expel
ded in something more substantial ths
blowing off steam.

AMERICAN Sailors IN JAPAN = Among the
various items of Asiatic Intelligence brought by the
America is the following, taken from the China
Mail: "'Fhe United States ship Preble has re-
turned from Japan, whittier she was dispatched by
Commodore Geisinger, for the purpose of bringing
away some men belonging to the American whalef
Lagoda. In this Capt Gynn has succeeded, hav-
ing rescued 10 of the whaler's men, and one sea-
man named Mcdonald, who year ago, at his
own request, received his discharge from the
Plymouth, whaler, and was put ashore at Mats-
mai. Shortly after landing he was made pris-
Oner and conveyed to Nangasah, where he was
keptin close custody and underwent frequent ex-
aminations, bat without being aware that for many
months number of his fellow eountrymen were
confined within short distance of his cell. There
he was occasionally visited by parties of Japanese
but being deprived of his books and all ordinary
sources Of amusement, after acquiring few words
Of the language, he commenced schoolmaster, and
was attended by pretty large class Of students in
the English language. Neither Capt. Glynn nor
any Of his officers or crew suffered to land,
but otherwise they received neither insult or dis
courtesy on the contrary, everything they were
supposed to want was rendered, but declined,
solely because the Japanese would accept of no
payment. The PTeble also touched at Loo ChoO,
a most welcome visit TO DR.. Bethlehem, who con-
tinues to live there, free from any serious moesa-
ton but from the fact that the Loo, Chooans were
very urgent that be should be taken away in the
PEBBLE, we imagine he is making no great progress
in their good graces.

THE STEAMER KlsTREL. - The loss of the
steamer Kistre, on her passage from Halifax to ST.
Johns, which has been mentioned by telegraph was
most Thrilling affair. The steamer ran upon the
rocks in the Bay Of St. Shots, in dense fog, No
lives We're lost, but the suerings Of the passengers
and crew are described as very severe. -Four per-
sons attempted to land in the life-boat, but being
unable, on account Of the surf, went to sea, and
effected a landing the next day. The remainder of
the sufferers got ashore in the following manner :
The ships carpenter, VIM. Eape, by standing on
the bow of the vessel and taking advantage of The
swelling wave as the ship rose on it, succeeded in
throwing handspike with a rope attached, into
the cleft Of a perpendicular rock some twenty feet
high, and by means Of the rope pulled himself to
the top oft. A haWser was then thrown to him,
and the passengers and crew drawn up from the
wreck, which Immediately afterwards filed and
fell over They remained exposed to the storm,
without shelter, all night, but were taken care Of
in the morning by some fishermen.
