the appropriation of $780,

mendationfor the appropriation of $780,
900.
The part of the building assigned for
us contains 80 900 square feet. 1t gives
us 20, 900 feet for passage-ways and TO-
600 feet net for exhibition. Every State
in the Union has already made appilca-
ton for o portion of this space. me
State OF Illinois has applied for very
large share, and altogether the room al
ready demanded will more than cover
the space assigned to US. 1t is probable
that q larger part of the building would
have been assigned had the representa-
tive of the Government at Paris or the
executive officers here been authorized
to accept the invitations or specify what
space would be required or how much
would be used IL assigned. But neither
there nor here was any one able to spe-
city what space would be wanted. The
opinion was expressed that the Ameri-
can people would desire to be represent
ed and that the largest space allowed
would be wanted. 1t is to furnish APP
propriate furniture and fixtures for this
space that the appropriation OF ,OOO,
is proposed. 10 rll 5aMt
1 will turn to the next section of the
bill in order to explain other expendi-
lures which are embraced in the $lOO, 900
asked for. The next provision is
For the compensation of four clerks
in New York and four clerks in Paris,
whose saleries shall be as follows: One
at ST. 800 one at 81 400, and two at 81 200
each.
These clerks are provided for at New
York in the resolution which passed
Congress and was approved by the Presi-
dent. This bill cuts down the salaries
specified by the joint resolution passed,
which was approved January l5, from
81, 900 to 81, AGO. or 5000 for each clerk.
So that it makes reduction in the sum
required to that extent. If we are to
appear in Paris, il we are to expend
$48, 900 for fixtures and furniture, it is.
of coarse, necessary that there should
be some arrangement made by which
the articles presented for exhibition
should be so classified that We should
not duplicate from each State, and from
different parts of the same State. the
same articles. It is therefore absolutely
necessary that there should be some Off
GERS to regulate this.

TAX ON DoGs.-It may not be gener-
ally known, says the Lynchbnrg Nis-
ginian, that there is now law in force
in Virginia, empowering the county
courts to levy tax ON all dogs in their
respective counties. Such is the case.
It was passed by the "restoredn Legis-
lature at Wheeling, the Sd of February,
1868.
1t provides that it shall be lawful for
the several county courts of this Com
monwealth, all the magistrates being
first summoned for this or any other
purpose, and a majority being present,
to levy tax on dogs owned or kept in
their respective counties, and it shall be
the duties of the commissioners of the
revenue, provided the county courts
shall SO order, of the respective counties,
to list annually all dogs in their dis
tricts and make return thereof to said
courts, and the names of the owners ar
ranged in alphabetical order, at the May
or June terms of said courts.
Every housekeeper is allowed one dog,
tax free, but for each additional dog a
tax of not less than one nor more than
two dollars must be paid. Any person
who conceals dog to avoid the tax shall
pay fine of five dollars.
Dogs owned by delinquents are to be
killed by the constable, and he receives
fifty cents per head for each dog SO
killed. Tla
The money arising from the said tax
on dogs, after defraying the expenses of
the execution of the said law, so far as
may be necessary, shall, by an order of
the county court, upon satisfactory evil
dence, be applied to the payment of the
owners of all sheep killed by dogs.
