A bout thirty miles above Wilmington, North Caro-,
lina lived three fellows named respectively Barhan,
Stone and Gray, the banks of the North East Riv-
err They came Wilmington in small row boat, and
made fast to the wharf They had time of it in the
city, but for fear they would be dry before getting home,
they procured jug of whisky and after dark of black
night too, they embarked in their boat expecting to
reach home in the morning. they rowed away with
all the energy that three half tpsy fellows could muster
keeping up their spirits in the darkness by pouring the
spirits down. At break of day they thought they
be near home and seeing through the Tim gray of the
morning house on the river side, Stone said
"Well, Barham, we've got to your place last
"If this is my home" said Barham, somebody has
been putting up lot Of outhouses since l went away
yesterday; but III go ashore and look about, and
where we are, if you'll hold her to-"
Barham disembs ks, takes observation and
stumbling along back, and says:
"Wen I'll be whipped if we'ant at Wilmington here
yet, and what's more the bat has been hitchsd to
the wharf all night"'
1t was fact, and the drunken dogs had been rowing
away for dear life without knowing it.

From the Columbia South Caro!inian


When the over emission OF the assignats the paper
oney OF the French republic had become apparent to
every one When the efforts of the convention to
their unavoidable depreciation by gal euacments
mad proved utterly futile, and when, in fine, the pro-
grssVe forced loan bad been resorted to- and had in
Cured universal reprObaton, then it that the Min
lister OF the Finances applied the magic wand OF taxa
ton to the dead body OF credit and bid it stand
He having proposed, II lieu OF the forced loan,
sapply consisting OF addition OF rs per cent. the
principal OF the land tax, the tax movable property
and the personal tax the Minister having simultaneously
adopted the ingenious system OF the bills OF the
general These receivers the real bankers of the treasury
under its administration, to give bills fa ing due al
stated periods Ter the total of the direct taxes
These pills when due were paid without DELAY by the
receiver general the treasury bad bills of exchange
upon them at fixed date, which they obliged to
pay upon pain of their being protested. By these
means, the first day Of the year there placed
the disposal of the treasury the whole of the
direct taxes, In bills OF exchange, TO the
cy Of which the cGtSe d ano1taSSement-siDkDg fund
devised. This institution exaced of the receivers
a security In money These securities, paid into the
CGSSe q a1aotlSsensegat were intended TO serve as a
guarantee the bills. Every bill when due was to be
paid either at the office Ct the recever-genera Or
default at that OF the calSSe d amoitssement which
was TO discharge it presentation. The bill 10 this
way regarded 10 the light of first class commercial
paper, and Of course current throughout the
whole realm.
Such the system of collection and payment which

gradually led to the organization at present established
in France
In the absence of the duty On tonnage the imports
and exports, Contederacy might derive much bene
ut from a recourse to such system the above
but the difficulty 10 the way arises from the fact that

until the shall have first been TAKEN aud it is
impossible Or nearly so, to have the taken dur
ing the war. Yet everybody says that something must
be DONE knowing full we'll that the next Congress will
be power!ess the last to violate the Consttu

1t is true that very valuable suggestions have
been made with view to the absorption of the
cy, but thus far NO thorough remedial measure at all
commensurate either with the OF the country
adequate to the exgencies of the times Except that
of the voluntary subscription loans to the Govern
ment has been proposed which is not equally subject

ing property tax the herein above alluded to

cution it is to be hoped will put the Treasury once
more at ease and will prevent henceorh the people
from distinguishing between the jus of their f.
