THE LAST DRINK.-Dan James has q wife,
an accomplished and beautiful lady, who loves
him devotedly; but she finds too many bricks
10 his hat. One night he came home tight,
and was not yevy much astonished, but rather
frightened, to find his worthy lady sitting up
for him. She always does. She smiled when
he came in:
You staid out late are you sickF
'Hic-sin't sick, wife, b-but don't you think
Pm little tght?' ....
why yes, but that's nothing, you know you
have so many friends, and you must join them
in glass; 'r'.'"
wife, you are too good-the truth is am
drunk 't|
oh, no indeed my dear-Inl sure even an.
other wouldn't hurt you. Now, take glass OF
ale with me-
You are too kind by half my dear; know
Pm drunk
oh, no. only a julep too much, love, that is
all. Well take glass of ale at any rate.'
The lady placed two tumblers before her. In
one she put apowerful emetc. Filling the
glass with ale, she handed it to her husband.
She had never been so kind before when be
was drunk. He raised it to his lips-then
hcsitated.
Dear, won't you taste mine to make it sweet
er?' he said.
Certainly, love- and she took mouthful
which she was very careful not to swallow
Suspicion vanished, and so did the ale. AZ
ter splitting out the taste, the lady finished her
glass, but seemed in no hurry to retire. A few
minutes after the gulp and splurge from the
threat Of the husband told the answer.
The brick was gone when he rose from the
easy chair. and he never after carried one home
to his wife -"

OF Henry Ward Beecher the Republican
pulpit preacher, is slightly down on rich men /:
Hear what he says in recent sermon respect

grow rich they grow mean. Why, know
men-pous men-who actually perjure them
selves about Their property that they may save
what is justly due the city for taxes. They
are as well-meanness has tunnel
ed them from end to end and the biggest one
lies through the heart, and the devil runs his
trains through and through daily. If any

have been called wicked fellow, but Beech.

The Tav RiI1.

The provision of the bill passed by the House
of Delegates, which imposes tax OF one pei
cent. upon the sales of merchants, continues to
be discussed by the newspapers. and remon-
strances against it from public meetings in va
rious parts of the State, have been laid before
the Senate. The opposition to the tax seems to
be universal. The general sentiment is, that
while it will be oppression to the mercantile IN
terests, it will prove failure as revenue meas
ure and not have the desired effect in promoting
home manufactures and direct trade with foreign
ports. The memorial of the Richmond mer-
chants, addressed to the Senate, states that the
capital employed in the business carried on in
that city, for which license is required, does
not exceed 100000 the real estate in the
city is assessed at SIS, 218, 342; and the amount
paid into the Treasury by the former is $780, 69,
while the latter pays only $72,s7a. Thus, al
though the Constitution declares that taxation
shall be equal and uniform, the capital employed
by the merchants is taxed about five times more
than the same amount invested in real estate
The memorial of the citizens of Petersburg
shows. that merchant in Baltimore whose sales
amount to $4,000 per anrqm. pays tax of So +;
Virginia merchant selling the came amount of
goods pays, under the present law, SAC, and
under the proposed law he would pay $500.
On Saturday, the Senate, by vote of 33 to 9,
sts'4cE out the one per cent. clause.

Utah Territory.

United States soldiers are assassinated by til.

singly or in small parties. A letter dated th,
18th Of February says if the army is Withdrawn

.We sincerely hope that if they do remove
the troops, Congress will take the matter il
hand and have them replaced with additional
strength in Salt Lake City, and when q murder
is committed ferret it out and execute the Of

massacre is still fresh in our minds, OF whole

Labor against Capital.

The contagion which broke ont among the
journeymen shoemskers in Massachusetts, seems
to be spreading throughout the principal manu-
featuring towns in the Northern States. 'Strikes'
are the order of the day in various places A
letter from New York city on the 10th inst. says
"The journeymen small-stock butchers demand
$40 hundred head, for killing and dressing in.
stead of 81, their present rate. A movement is
now Oh foot among the ambrotypists and daguar
reotypists of New York city and Brooklyn, to
secure fair standard of prices for their pic
lures. The painters are to hold a mass-meeting
to take action on the rise of wages to their old
standard, 50 per day. The cabinet-makers on
the strike have succeeded in procuring the ID
per cent, demanded in so many cases, that they
feel confident that the terms will become uni
versal The monlders of Jersey city are also on
strike,'
Senator Seward in his late speech endeavored
to make out that the sectional controversy which
agitates the country, was one between labor and
capital: his sympathizers at the North are now
experiencing the sweets of such contest literally
among themselves. The tendency of things in
the free States is to agrarianism, of which the
homestead bill recently passed By the House Of
Representatives is natural production. This
bill, for giving away the public lands of the u
nited States, received the vote of every North
ern member of the House except one, and was
supported by only one Southern man-Mr.
Craige, of Missouri.

SSRread Il Butter.C

One of the most ingenious swindles that we
have ever known was brought to light at the
store of Mr. John P. Hulst last week. Mr.. ID.
had purchased firkin of roll butter, which
turned ont nicely at the top and met with ready
sale, siasther down in the keg proved to be
of =. - .is..@'t stripe. The pure, Of one OF
the f1's when preparing for a comfortable
supper discovered that what appeared to be
butter was more than two thirds bread. Inside
the crust of butter was snugly ensconced large
pone of upbaEed corn meal dough. We don't
know that it will be possible to trace this piece
of rascality to its origin, but if the author OF 1t
knows switch side his bread is buttered" he
will make himself scarce. IT caught, any jury
would send him to the penitentiary for life, II
the law allowed punishment to that extent

WASHINGTON ITEMs-The Administration ev-

to make capital for himself out of the condition
of affairs on the Texas frontier. In reply to
Gen. HIS requistion for arms and accoutrements
for Zoo men, the President directed Col. Drink.
ard, acting Secretary Of War, to reply, in sub
stance, that according to the latest and most re-
liable Information there was no need for more
men or arms in Texas
The excitement produced by the Mexican
news rather increases than otherwise. Govern
melt dispatches are que by to mGrrow's mails,
when the Cabinet will be convened to consider
the subject. Quite difference of opinion exists
as to the propriety Of Captain Turner's course.
One of the most distinguished Commodores in
the Navy condemns the firing of shot by the
Saratoga, instead OF blank cartridge, as is usual
Another Commodore of equal reputation defends
the act, under the eircumstanoes. The Rresi
dent is perfectly satisfied with the attack made
on the steamers, but expresses doubt as to the
propriety of Selling them. He fears lest Mira
mon. exasperated at the summary disposal of his
newly purchased Navy, will wreak his ven

might be needed by the Government.
