SENATOR SHERMAN on TAxATfoN.-In re.
cent speech, Senator Sherman is reported to
have said:
During the war the Government was COM
PEELED to resort to the utmost limits of taxa
tion-to be no longer than necessary in max
ing this reduction. We naturally look to
those articles, the chief cost of which is low
labor, as the foundation of wealth. and should
be as free from burdens as the air.
The cheerfulness with which all classes
and occupations bore taxes during the war
makes it doubly the duty of Congress to
lessen and equalize the taxes. | confident
ly anticipate that in short time the duties
on imported goods, moderate income tax,
and taxes on luxuries, will enable us hon
orably to perform all our obligations.

IN, y,or1y TRrck.-A few days ago a
-resanted himself before dealer in

1t is an excellent instrument | will return
and take it as soon as, thanks to my coat,
shall have earned sufficient money at balls

The young man had such an honest bear
ing that the dealer lent him ten francs and
kept the violin, which he hung up in his shop
The next day but one a gentleman. well
dressed, wearing at his button hole the rib
and of the legion of honor, was choosing from,
the dealers stock of goods some shell-work.
Seeing the violin, he took it up, examining it
narrowly.
What is the price of this Instrument
said he
1t is not mine, said the shop-keeper and
he related how be came to poss SIS it.
This VIOLIN continued the unknown, is
worth money; it is Cremona. Perhaps its
owner himself is ignorant of its value. If he
returns, offer him two hundred francs for it,,
Then handing fifty francs to the shopman,
the unknown added, in taking his leave,-
You will keep that fer yourselfif the affair

Two days after the Young man re appear
ed. bringing the ten francs to redeem the
violin, for which the dealer offered him two
hundred francs. After hesitating some time
he agreed, pocketed the money, and with
drew, lamenting the sad necessity which
compelled him to part with his favorite in
strument. At the end of a week the dealer,
not having seen the decorative gentleman,
became suspicious. He carried the violin to
an instrument maker, who offered him three
francs for it. He acknowledged then,
though little late. that he had been the
dupe of two knaves, whom he described to
the police.

GEN GRANTS VISIT TO RlcHMoND.-
Speaking of Gen. Grants visit to Richmond,
the Whig says:
The arrival of Lieut.. Gen. Grant, in this
cfey is an event of peculiar interest. What
particularly marks and stamps it with this
peculiar interest is the fact that it is the first
visit to this city since its surrender to his
troops. There was deicacy and magma
nimity in his studious avoidance of it that
has added much to that honorable estimation
in which he is held in tie South, as well as
in the North.
