INTERNAL REVENUE TAX on WIRE.
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has decided that the tax on wire, whether
made Of iron, steel, brass, or copper, is five
per cent. al ralorem, as a manufacture not
otherwise provided for. There is, however,
in the tenth section Of the new law pro-
vision cxcmpting wire made from wire less
than No. %, upon which 4 tax has been
assessed and paid as wire, and also a pro-
vision that no manufactured wire shall pay
greater tax than that imposed on No. ~
wire gauge. When wire less than No. 20,
on which tax of five per cent. al ralor0a
has been paid, is aftcrward drawn to a
greater degree Of incncSS, no additional
tax is imposed thereon. Wire, however,
on which no tax has been previously paid
rs wire, is liable to tax of five per cent.
upon the price at which ii is sold, whether
that price is sixty cents, one dollar, or two
dollars per pound.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN MINING CLAIM.
An explosion of gas took place in the claim

A shaft l60 feet in depth has been sunk on
the claim, and tunnel $50 feet in lengthrun
from the bottom of it. On Tuesday the
workmen broke through into drift which
was run number of years ago, the mouth OF
which had caved down so as to be air tight.
Desiring to examine the old digglngs, one OF
the men held his candle to the orifce betwee n
the drifts. when the gas or foul air which h; d
been so long confined exploded with such
force as to knock the men senseless, burning
their wooden shirts to crisp, and actually
blew the roof off the shed over the whim,
although it was 4l0 feet distant. The men
were terribly burned and otherwise injured.

A YOUNG LADY CowHIDEs VILLAIN
The st. Louis Democrat of the 7th ult. relates
the following:
We were yesterday informed of a case
which will form rich subject for the scan
| dal mongers for some time to come and.
without attempting the sensational, we will
give the facts in the case as related to US.
which were these: A young man whom we
shall call Mr.. A., had for some time paid his
attentions to Miss B., in Indiana, and vows
of love had been exchanged between the two,
she promising to become the wife of Mr. A.,
whom she had too well but not wisely loved
The parents of the young lady objected to the
match, and an elopement was planned. The
parties arrived here some time since, and put
up at a fashionable boarding house, in the
lower portion of the city, on Green street.
The young man, upon arriving here, started
out after reaching the boarding house to make
the proper arrangements for the nuptials. AT
night he returned and informed the unsus-
pecting girl that, according to the laws of the
State, he could not obtain license until the
following dav, and at the same time made
improper proposals to her, saving that as
they were going to be married the following
day no harm could result. To these PROPOSE
tlons she Indignantly refused to listen. The
proposals were refused on two or three diff
ferent occasions. At last, after the parties
had been here some three or four DAYS, and
the villain persisted in his Infamous propo.
sails, she, few days since, invited him into
the parlor of the boarding house where they
were stopping. She then demanded of him
to know of his intentions, stating that she
had left home and all to cast her fortunes with
him. She loved him, but would not listen to
any improper proposals, and demanded that
he should do as he had promised which he
refused. She then, after locking the door of
the parlor, drew from under her dress raw.
hide, and gave the young gentle looking man,
who was but ''wolf in sleeps clothing"
most perfect thrashing. The affair created
considerable excitement in the boarding
house where it occurred. For the sake of the
young lady and her friends, we omit the
names of the parties.

Meanwhile, in the solemn hour when he
stands by the monument of Douglas, let
him forecast the epitaph of his own. Happy
is he who, after death, lives again in a
nations grateful remembrance. Cursed is
he who, dying, is buried beneath the re-
proacbes of the just and the accusations of
the poor. Touched with insanity, corrupt.
ed with lust, stimulated with drink, let the
President of the United States, standing for
a half hour by the graves edge, calm his
blood and chasten his thoughts till he can
reflect, for his warning, how Chief Magis
trate who betrays his country shall become
a handful of dishonored dust"
