THE CHINESE Police Taxa fatal error
appears to have been committed by the last
Legislature in giving boncombe title to the
Chinese Police Tax bill. Instead of declar-
ing, in the usual manner, that it was an Act
to provide revenue for the Support of the
Government of this State, it was set forth
that If was measure to prohibit the immi-
grafton of Chinese and to prevent the COM
petition of Coolie with white labor The
Constitution provides that 9 Every law en-
acted by the Legislature shall embrace but
one object and that shall be expressed in the
title" Justices Cope and Norton have con
sldered this provision mandatory, and be-
lieving that the State has no power to pro-
hibit the immigration of Chinese, they have
been compelled to decide the Act of last ses-
sion unconstitutional. The next Legislature,
however, may remedy the defect, and still put
the Chinese Police Tax law into effeet.-Hc,'-

"THAT PooR FELLOW "A young lady,
who resides in this city, near a private hos
pital. for some time past had her nerves Sc
verely shocked by the cries and means of a
man suffering from delirium tremens She
had but lately come to the country. and knew
not the melodious notes of ''ye Washoe ca
nary" Shortly after dark one evening, a
jackass came TO halt near the young lady IS
residence. and having firmly braeed his feet,
tossed aloft his tail, threw his whole soul into
grand imitation Of saw-iliag reluctantly
dying out, when completely exhausted, in a
heart-rending moan. ''There ~ exclaimed

dipped in oil, and two large bands of fax
were laid across the pile. As she walked
boldly towards it., attempted to gain her
attention once more; but the Brahmns
were growing very insulting and violent
Having proceeded seven times round the
pile; during which she had given parched
rice and several little ornaments to her sur
rounding relatives and friends she boldly
clambered up. and frantically cast herself
upon the putrid corpse already deposited
there. The two bands of fax were immedi-
ately drawn tightly round both bodies, and
tied fast together many large dry billets
were then piled upon them to a great height,
and fax cast in between every layer; then
over the whole a kind of liquid butter was
poured in abundance and lest the poor vie
tim should on feeling the fire, make her
escape. two large bamboos were fixed in the
ground, on one side of the pile. and being
bent over, were held down tightly by
men on the other side, SO that the escape
OF the woman was rendered impos ible.
Soon as this was completed, which was d, ne
in very short time, light was placed in
the hands of the eldest child, and this poor
suppliant for his mothers life was con-
strained to walk around the pile seven
times, and then to set fire to some fax
beneath the heads Of his dead father and liv-
ing mother. The pile was instantly in
blaze. and the noise of the tomtoms and
screams of the multitude quite drowned the
cries of the poor widow, except to those who
were close to the pile. But hearl a scream
from that fir which | shall never forget it
was cry of horrible anguish and entreaty
for liberation But in few moments the
cry ceased, d--shortly after nothing but
heap of burning embers was seen on the

BoYuooD.-Boys-when they are boys
are queer enough. How many ridiculous
notions they have, and what singular desires,
which in after life change and shape them
selves into characteristics Who but remem-
bers when he would have sold his birthright
for rocking horse, and his new suit of
clothes for a monkey? Who forgets the
sweet-faced girl, older than himself, against
whose golden hair he leaned and wept his
griefs away Who but recollects when the
thought Of being crcus-rider appeared
greater than to be. President? and how
jealously he watched the little fellows who
wore spangled jackets and turned somersets.
and prayed to become like them? If memory
preserve not these caprices, or something
similar, the boy is lost in the man. Happy
visions ! they come but once and go quickly,
leaving us TO sigh for return Of what can
never be again.

MILKMEN.-Here is warning to those
milkmen who water the lacteal fluid:
''In the New York Court of Special Ses.

adulterating milk at pump up town. His
counsel contended that the addition of water
was not an adulteration of the milk The Dis
trlct Attorney eontended that it was, and
that, although some men might suppose tina,
milk was improved by an admixture with
brandy, and thus make milk punch, still, ifa
man purchased it as milk, he was entitled to
the genuine, unadulterated article. The
Court agreed, and fined the defendent fifty

The undersigned. desirous of aequainting those
who may be unfortunate enough to be similarly af

express his most sincere gratitude to DIR, l.. j.
Czapkay for the permanent recovery of his health.
Borne down by the distressing symptoms incident
to the vicious practices of uncomfortable passion
in youth depressed in body and mind, unable TO
perform even the most triling duty imposed by the
saily avocations of life, sought the advice of ma
by physicians, who at first regarded my disease as
y trihing importance but alas after a few weeks,

Hound, to my unutterable horror, that instead of
flief, my symptoms became more alarming in
;leir torture and being told oy that my dis
sase being principally confined to the brain, med-
cine would be of little consequence, despaired of
ever regaining my health strength and energy; and
as last resort, and with but faint hope, called
upon DIR. Czapkay. who after examining my case,
prescribed some medicine, which almost instantly
relieved me of the dull pain and dizziness in my
head Encouraged by the result, / resolved TO
place myself under his care, and, by strict obed

felt as if inspired by new lfe-that life which,

With view to guard the unfortunate from fall

it my duty to offer this testimony to the merits and
skill of DR.. Czapkay, and recommend him to all

warden of our parish fifty years of age, and

My memory is far from good. There has
been no instance of somr ambulism il our
family, except during the Oxford vacation,
when my oldest boy was observed by his mo-
ther walking sound asleep, but with his eyes
open, toward the maid servants room. He
had apparently not gone to bed but must
have fallen asleep with his clothes on. On
my wife's getting new maid, there was no
recurrence of Frcderick's complaint; so it
would not be fair to consider that solitary
instance as a proof that such tendency is in
the family
