Tax Sale.--There was lively time in the
aldermen's chamber, yesterday, from ten o'clock
in the morning until halfpast four in the afternoon
the city collector lin the assumed character of
auctioneer for the occason) selling large number
of ground lots for taxes. Occasionally the bidding
was spirited, and much interest manifested in the
| result.
The collector made due provision for the COM
| fort of the company, having large table spread
with profusion of the substantias of life, such
as ham, bread and cheese, but no liquid stronger
than water, in accordance, we are happy TO say,
with temperance principles.
Any lot bought at this sale can be redeemed by
the original owner within two years, on the pay
ment Of ten per cent per annum upon the money
thus invested to the extent of the tax. If the
property shall not be redeemed within the above
named period, the bidder of yesterday can pro-
corporation title to it by paying the assessed
value Of the lot
The Flageoletist.-A delightful feature Of the
grand festival of M. Julien, on Tuesday night,
was the solo performed on the fageolet by M.
Colnet, the oldest member Of the great orchestra.
He was, according to the bills the conductor and
fageoet solo of court balls of Napoleon the First,
in 1912 and now, after forty-three years Of con-
tnued success, he is about TO retire from public
life. He is short, rather thick-set man, but is
not SO brisk his feet as he is with his fingers on
the lageolet. He occupies the throne which the
ruling spirit Of drums, gongs, fddles, horns, and
all the other description of instruments had just
temporarily abdcated and, with spectacles on
nose, enough this constituted no part of the mu-
sicl and pipe in mouth, whisted forth such melody
as elected the spontaneous applause Of the dense
assembly. He at no time seemed 10 be at a loss
for the necessary volume of breath TO proong the
notes. and blew with more comfort than did his
Juniors on their instruments of brass, and with
ing to the eyes the heavy doubled-barreled glasses
levelled at him in every direction.
Swine Catching.-The police officers had
brisk work, yesterday morning, in the neighbor-
hood of Centre market and the capture Of four or
five porkers was the result OF their labors. Quite
an excitement was created, large number Of
spectators seeming TO enjoy the sport of worrying
the quadrupeds with fierce dogs The law pro-
hbiting swine from g the freedom of the city = may
be good law, and it is the duty Of the police to
enforce it but we submit whether some mode less
offensive TO humanity should not be adopted. The
proceedings of yesterday were disgusting to every
considerate person; and, for oursef we should
prefer that swine run at large rather than the
scenes to which we have alluded should be re-
enacted

1t is doubtless this change in the Govern

Gazette de Nicaragua, it was a change made
in the government by the Con nstitutional As

paid 1t visit yesterday, and found in

tendance about 40 in each department
make up the school, of whom some were
absent We observed a remarkable pro-
gress IN the advancement of the smaller
scholars, part of which may be attrib-

primary books now used. We are also
grati6ed to see that the large scholars are
steadily progressing in their several de-
partments- particularly, the young ladies.
for whose advancement we feel warranted
in saying Miss Mather spares no ezertion.
We are glad, too, to observe that the

The Land Riots in San Francisco, which
have become SO common and so destruc-
tive OF life and property. are caused prin-
cipally if not altogether, by the belief that
the city claim to the Puebla lands will not
be confirmed by the Board OF q. S. Land
Commissioners. 1t will be remembered that
that tho grants TO land in that city known
as the Cotton, Kearney and Leavrnwor,h
grants were made by the alealdes of the
Puebla and it follows therefore that if
the claim of the city now being adjudica-
ted shall be rejected these grants will be
worthless. Those, therefore, who own the
land under these grants and have leased
it, or which has been squatted on, are en-
deavorlng to get the occupants off before the
decision shall be given, lest they may be
unable to eject them afterwards. The oc-
cupants on the other hand, desire to hold
on until after the decision, in the hope that
they may be enabled to claim the land un-
der the laws of the United States. Thus
the interests Of both parties are at stake
and each seems prepared to hold on with
the tenac;ty of life. A few days however
will settle the difficulty, and the sooner
under the circumstances, the Commission
ers decide the question. the better 1t will be
for all parties, and for the peace OF that com.
munity.-State Journal.

Of Railroads in the Atlantic States. The
steepest grade in the % miles next to Sacra-

three times the cost of similar work in the
Atlantic States, the total expenses per annum,
of operating will be sl52,l24, leaving a net
