formity, in assessments and otherwise
promote the equality Of taxation which
Justice demands.

The Senate then took recesss. ,sES
In the Senate yesterday afternoon, some
time was spent in committee of the Whole.

Courts, was taken up and upon its passage,
the vote stood l6 to 10. The Lieut.. Governor

'Tne Senate then adjourned.
The House bill TO restore the granting Of
marriage LICENSES to the Clerk Of the Com

THE WAGES OF TAILORS.

The New York Home Journal, in a
pleasant homily upon " The Wages of
Tailors," shows up some Of the tricks of
the trade: r slt,t- a5
Tallors must live; at least they think
SO, and we have no objection. Yet they
are great tyrants, aud have ingenious
WAYS of torturlng their victims. One
way is this: they invent fashion which
is strikingly peculiar, and get it into
vogue by various arts best known TO
themselves; for example, very short over
coats with long waists. which look well
on men like Count Ross, whose figure is
faultless. Their next movement, after
everybody is overcoated for the winter, is
to bring out garment which differs as
much as possible from the one in fashion:
that is, an overcoat with skirts to the
heels, and waist under the arln-pits
They get half dozen men of high fash.
ion, who look well in anything, TO parade
this new fashion in Broadway, and make
the short coated majority appear out OF
date. The man9uvre succeeds; all the
dandies are driven to the expense Of or.
.dering superhuous coat; the tailors
smile, and, the, dandies bleed, or their
fathers do. Some time ago, OUR tailor ty.
rants put us all into long waiStcoats; and
consequently into combinations that just
tapped over the hips. Suddenly the
waistcoats were abbreviated four inches.
What was the consequence Why, Of
course; the combinations g failed to con-
nect;" ard he who would not exhibit TO
mankind broad belt of white around
his waist, was compelled to discard all
his staro Of well saved unnameables. And
in vain shall the oldest customer protest
and order garments of the last fashion.
s Consider my reputee.- cir says the
tailor, with the air of offended majesty.

PRAGTICAL Evidence OF THE BENEFIT
OF CHLORoFoRM.-The very clever and
intelligent Paris correspondent of the
New York Times speaks as follows of the
use that this article has been brought to.
He says: .,.--.....- -..s ,-... .s,a !.
The first experiment upon the local
application of chloroform has been made
with entire success at the Clinic Hospital.
NJ. Paul Dubois induced young girl,
an attendant at the Hospital. to elbow her
wrist, upon which was virulent abscess,
to be ftnnigated with the vapor of chloro-
form. The abscess Immediately became
insensible and remained SO forthree hours.
The patient, who before could not move
her arm, nor allowed the least contact
with the sore, recovered the entire use o.
her hand. On the second trial, when tht
abscess had come to head, NJ. Dubois
plunged his instrument into it, and tht
patientfelt no pain whatever. The WOUND
is now healing, and certain degree o
insensibility consequent upon the fumiga
ton, still exists in the part, .,.-r-,-r r,,
Similar experiments have been made il
this country, but no important result
have ever been published. oiSesa edi 70

DEATH FROM THE BITE OF GAIA
very extraordinary ard singular case was
recently brought before the coroner Of
North Durham, England, who was called
to hold an inquest upon the body of
little boy who had died in the agonies of
hydrophobia, through the bite of cat.
1t appeared that in November last the
poor little fellow was standing in his
father garden, when cat came running
down a passage in great agitation.
Thinking the animal was chased by dogs,
he caught it in his arms: but no sooner
had the poor child done SO, than the in
furiated animal caught him by the hand
and held it tenaciC uSiy in its mouth until
the father of the child came out and
choked it off. The boy IS hand was fear.
fully torn, the muscles being much lacer-
ated. He was Immediately taken to
Shields, to surgeons, and the wound
was carefully dressed. After about three
weeks the wound appeared to heal, and
the boy to enjoy his ordinary health,
until couple of weeks since when he
was taken i'll. Very alarming symptoms
soon superyened, such as nervous appre-
hension, great agitation at the appear
ance of liquids, and foaming at the
mouth. A surgeoa was Immediately sent
for, who pronounced it decided case of
hydropnobia, and predicted that the child
would not live many hours. After
spending distressing day, the poor
little fellow was finally relieved from his
Sufferings by death, at about midnight of
the same day. The cat, which belonged
10 a grocer in the village, had been de-
stroycd the day it bit the boy.

SPANISH pEGRAnArIoN

Those who have never traveiad IN Sc.;r
or who are little acouaipted rv;tb ths
manners and customs Of the country. have
an idea that all Spaniards are grave and
formal, like the Castilian. This, however
is far from being the case. The people of
each province are almost as distinct as
different nations, having manners and
customs, dress and dialect, peculiar to
themselves. This pecaliarity isdoubtless
owing to the isolation of the different
provinces by the chain Of mountains which
intersect the peninsula. and cut of inter
communication, as well as the fact that
for ages these provinces formed separate
and distinct kingdoms. The rude boorish
Gallician !. the industrious Catalan the
idle, jovial Andalusian the sly, vindic-
tive Falencian and the grave, dignified
sons Of Castillo, differ from each other as
much as the inhabitants of distinct na-
tons. In travelling over tins beautiful
country, upon which nature has lavished
the choicest favor, and which, under the
rules OF the Romans and Moors, was a
land Howing with milk and honey, the
tourist is struck with the scenes of desc
lation that everywhere meet the view.
