WE observe that the county of WASH
ington, Pa, has recently levied a tax
OF five per cent. on the interest coupons
of the county's debt to the Hempfeld
railroad company. We presume the
county has right to do this, although
IT has never been levied until recently.
1t seems to have been no part of the
original understanding under which
the bonds We're issued, and comes in
altogether as financial afterthought.
The ecuaty of Ohio, in this State, can
do the same thing as regards her inter
est coupons, we presume. Many, if not
most OF her bonds, are held outside the
State, and i've per cent. tax ON the
interest would afford her a very consid-
cradle tax revenue, and be just as le-
CLIMATE and proper as the Washington
county tax. 1t is suggested that the
next Legislature should, early in its
session, authorize such levy, and it
certainly will be very agreeable to the
tax payers Of the city and county to see
The levy authorized. The city and
county together owe the best part of Il
million OF dollars, and five per cent. de-
Quoted from the interest will afford a
saving in the way of taxes not to be
dcspised.

the Capital of the State ought not to be

not a large majority of Union people.

MORE FRIGHTENED THAN HURT.-The
old story which attributed to General Putnam
extraordinary cooinees-in the opinion at least
ofthe British officers-because he sat at his
ease on barrel of guDpowder with smoking
fuze-but which proved after all to contain
mere onions or onion seed-has undoubtedly
been reenacted in more than one form since
his day; since 1t is so very easy to make be-
leve," and pass Off an empty revolver for
loaded one, as was done by an excellent and
pions friend Of mine, Captain c., in the
Southwest.
Having been ordered to drive in certain
pickets, the Captain, with a small band, pro-
ceeded to "drive"-which he did with such
success as to Brighten into flight larger body
of men than his own. Unfortunately, his
horse was Just little too good" and, excit-
ed by the headlOng chase, bore him into the
centre of the "Johnnies."
II hadn'ta shot left in my revolver, but I
made the best of things, and riding up to a
gentlemanly- looking officer who was separate
somewhat rom the others, put my pistol in
his face, and told him to surrender He held
carbine In one hand, and his only answer
was to begin to search In his pocket for some
thing. He did this twice-when cried in a
great rage: Surrender at once, or you're a
dead manP So he surrendered, but when l
brought him into camp he remarked: 1T was
lucky for. you couldn't find percushsion-
cap just when wanted one.' l replied: 1T
was iuckier for you that my pistol was not
loaded at all' Our Colonel recognized in
him an old friend from New Orleans-so they
paroled him." u. s. Service Magazine.

MISCELLANY.

A Characteristic Anscdote Of Mr.. Lincoln.
Mr.Llnooln's practical shrewdness Is exem-
plined IN the following anecdote, which is suf-
hclently characteristtc:
In the puriieus OF the Capital at Washing
ton the story goes that after the death OF Chief
Justice fancy, aud before the appointment of
Mr.. Chase Ia his stead, a committee of citizens
IRON the Philadelphia Union League, with q
Distinguished journalist at their head as chair
man, proceeded to Washington fur the pur-
pose Of laying before the President the reasons
why, la their opihion, Mr.. Chase should be
appointed to the vacancy on the bench. They
took win them a memorial addressed to the
President, which was read to him by one of
the committee. Alter listening to the memo
rial the President said to them, in a very de-
hberate manner: win you do nae the favor
10 leave that paper with me? / want it in
order that. il | appoint MIR. Chase. I may
show the friends OF the other persons, for
whom the office is solicited, by how powerful
an influence and by what strong personal rec
concentrations the claims OF Mr.. Chase were
supported" c
The committee listened with great satisfac-
tlon, and were about to depart, thinking that
Mr.. Chase was sure of the appointment, when
they perceived that Mr.. Lincoln had not fin
ished what he intended to say. "And want
the paper, aIso,' he added, after a pause, sin
order that, If should appoint any other per-
son, NAV show his friends how powerful an
influence and what strong recommendations /
was obliged to disregard in appointing him"

came. -',e = ---s7-----.f--'-s
