The PAPER QUESTION The Chicago Tn
mne makes strong POINT against the paper
anufacturers, as follows -
During the last session of Congress the
internal duty on printing paper was repeal
cd. This duty amount 10 SIX per cent. and
yielded 81 ,0S2, 47G per annum to the treas
ury. In obedience to a general demand
for reduction of the burdens of taxation
on the people. the paper tax, together with
large number Of other taxes, was removed.
W hat has been the result? The price of
paper remains exactly what 1t was before.
The burden Of taxation, 80 far as the people
are concerned, has not been diminished an
atom. The treasury has lost 81 ,0S2, 40
per annum. and the people have not gained
1t. The paper manufacturers have put 1t
in their pockets. They bold the price of
paper up TO just the mark that imported pa
per costs under twenty per cent gold duty.

common experiment for a workman 10
light gas burners by holding one hand to
a fast going belt and the other to the
open burner. This matter was %curiously
demonstrated in the Appleton Mills of
this city on Wednesday. A strong smell
of fire being noticed, the premises were
carefully searched, and a small quantity
of cotton lint, inside a belt casing, was
found on fire. The lint lay upon Il beam
which was within four inches of a belt
some fifteen inches wide and moving
some two hundred and twenty revolutions
a minute. In the beam was an iron belt,
the head of which was towards the bolt.
From the belt to the bolt was passing a
stream Of electric sparks, which had set
the cotton lint on fire. After attending
to this case, Mr.. Motley, the agent, open
ed the casing OF a similar belt in another
mill. The beam in this case was four
teen inches from the belt, but the stream
of electric sparks was at once seen Jump
ing across the beam, although ii had not
set FIRE to anything. Perhaps Of the
cases Of fire from some supposed Fspon-
tancous combustion many are dueto cleo
tricity from machinery. The subject is an
interesting one for Investigation, and
probably a profitable one"

tween Austria and Prussia on the subject
of their respective ornaments =
COMMUNICATION MADE TO COUNT KARo-
LII / BERLIN, ON THE 4rH OF MAY, 1866.
II have the honour herewith TO for
ward 10 your Excellency a copy of a des-
patch of the 3Oth Of April from the Prus-
sian Cabinet, which was communicated
to me by Baron Won Werther. Accord
ing to this despatch, the Government of
His Majesty the King of Prussia thinks
there is no reason why Austria should
prepare to ward off an attack on her pos
sessions in Italy. 1t declares that, if
Austria should no! think fit to place the
whole Imperial army on a real peace
footing, it will not be possible for Prus-
STA TO carry on the important and
tous negotiations with the Imperial Co
vernment in any other way than by main
tanning an equilibrium in the warlike pre-
parations of the two Powers. Your EX-
cellency will understand that we, after
this declaration, must consider the nego-
~tiations for a simultaneous disarmament
on the part of Prussia on the one side
and of Austria on the other as being at
an end. After The solemn assurances
given by us in Berlin and in Frankfort,
Prussia can have no reason to apprehend
aggressive proceedings on our part, and
Germany can have no cause 10 fear that
We shall disturb the peace of the Ger
man Confederation. Just as little does
Austria think of attacking Italy, although
on all occasions the forcible detachment
of a part Of the Austrian territory has
been the already pronounced programme
of the Florence Government. 1t is our
duty to provide for the defence Of the
monarchy, and if the Prussian Govern
ment finds in our measures against Italy
Il MUvfvU fur uPtlUidiu5 her road
ness for war, we can but fulfil that duty
which admits Of no foreign control
without entering into any further discus
sion as to the priority or magnitude of
the several military measures. In Berlin
it cannot be unknown that we have not
only to provide for the integrity Of our
own empire, but also TO protect the ter
ritory of the German Bund against an
aggressive movement on the part Of Italy,
and we Therefore may and must, in the in
terest of Germany, seriously ask Of Prus-
sa whether she thinks the demand hat
the frontiers of Germany shall be left un-
guarded compatible with the duties of a
German Power. AS Count Won Bismark
informs us that Prussia has summoned
the Royal Saxon Government to suspend
its ornaments, WE must express our con-
viction that the King of Saxony, like the
Emperor, our most gracious Lord, only
thinks Of that defence which is imposed
on him by the Federal treaties, which
make the prevention Of a breach of the
peace o duty common TO all the members
of the Bund. Your Excellency will COM
municate the foregoing remarks to the
Prussian Minister-Presiden and consider
yourself empowered to give him a o
of the present despatch.

LIFE ASSURANCE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
STATES.

Among the active agencies Of the time
none seem to be more earnest, enterprise
ing and successful than that Of life insur-
ance. 1t has become a feature Of the
age, a sort of cardinal point in the life of
a prudent American citizen, to take out
a HE insurance policy for the benefit of
his wife, his children, his parents 5-or
himself, in case he Ewes to a certain age
agreed upon. Almost every variety of
probability, or even possibility, seems to
be provided against-every phase Of the
social relation being now protected by
life insurance. The special activity Of
this great interest has been chiefly deve-
Hoped in the United States within the
last ten years, and more especially in the
last half of these ten years. There seems
to be a special adaptibiIity in the indus
trial condition and tendencies of our peo-
pie to receive, apply and develop to the
highest point the social economic advan-
tages of the system Of life insurance,
which may be called a family industrial
savings lnstitdte-protecting from want
and distress the widows, children and re-
latives of the members who die off pre-
matureIy or before they have realized
other family provision. Indeed, of late
years it has become a favourite form of
investment, securing by endowment as.
surance provision for the more advanced
ages OF life, when the industrial capacity
becomes impaired, or men may desire TO
retire from the active pursuit of business,
and enjoy some years Of comfortable re-
pose, free from the anxieties and cares
OF the everyday working world. In all
It's varied forms the system of life insu-
rance deserves encouragement and gene
raj favour. AS a fact of great and gene
raj economical value it is gratifying to
note that the accumulations of the seve-
raj life insurance companies of New York
already amount to thirty millions dollars,
whilst their annual income exceeds eight
millions. Here we have really the peo-
pies bank of savings, proving prudence
10 the past, and guaranteeing security for
the future.
