Benefits of the New Tax Bill.

Speaker Colfaz, 10 recent speech, at
Chicago, made the following remarks, in
regard to the new Tax Law.
La the Tax bill just passed by Congress,
to provide for paying the expenses of
preserving our national existence, many
ameliorations have been made In respect
to those least able to pay.
Railroad freights are to be exempt, re-
ducing the cost of transporting grain
The tax is abolished on slaughtered an
imals, brick, building stone, fertilizers,
window glass, plows, cultlyatOrs, har-
ness, hay and straw cutters, planters,
seed drills, grain cradles, winnowing mills,
reapers, mowers, threshers, corn shelters,
woodenware, books, printing paper
Farmers are to be allowed to deduct from
their incomes before the tax is levied, all
articles consumed on their farms, which
will relieve three -fOurths Of the farmers
from the payment Of any revenue tax
whatever.
The tax on iron is reduced from 81, 20
to S., 90 per ton; while manufactures In
general are reduced from g to per cent
Clothing and bOots-aE reduced from to
2 percent and as these are the articles
which from the largest expenditures Of
mechanics, and all who have but small
capital to live on, the new bill greatly
benefits them. TaIlors and sh0emakers,
whose work, exclusive of materials, does
not exceed 81 900, are exempted entirely
from taxation
The heaviest taxes are upon ale, spirits
cigars, gas, carriages worth over $500
billiard tables, bankers, brokers, theatres,
distilleries, lotteries, etc Of all the ag-
ricultural products in the land, cotton
and tobacco are the only ones taxed in
this bill

Rigors of Austrian DigoipIine.

In 1854 had a terrible example of the
military discipline of Austria. Owing to
/ the state of war, the frontier was then
guarded by CrOats I dined every day
with the Austrian officers at the little viii
1 lage of OrsowO, on the bank of the Dan
I ube. One day 1 expressed a desire to see
/ the place on the other side of the Dan
/ ube, where KOssuth had buried the crown
/ of St. Stephen of Hungary, when the
army fed into Turkey; the place had been
discovered; the crown disinteTred; but
wanted to see the singular tomb.
Col Z. promised to 60 with me the next
day on the other side Of the bridge which
separated US from the enemy. That same
evening, as | was taking my walk, I said
to myself, Suppose l 90 nOW?" / passed
the body guard, aud proceeded to the
bridge and had nearly reached the oppo-
site side, when [ heard a report, and at
the same time three or four bullets Whis-
tied by me- l stopped Several Croats
rushed upon me, mutrering something
which 1 could not understand, and led
me to my friend, the Colonel. He look
ed at me exasperated. Sir, said he,
what we're you doing on the bridge?"
"a went to visit the tomb
Enough Without a permit? And
the sentinel did not arrest you at the en-
trance of the bridge2'
A sergeant answered IN NeFman, We
we're dining with the body guard"
''Ah Is this so? And all that time
spies could be going and comibg-how
many we're you
-Four men and myself" said the ser
geant.
You shall all be shOtI"-
The Colonel went to the window, called
the guard of the opposite tent, and gave
the men into custody.
The next day the men we're shot in
spite of my appeals to the Colonel, on my
knees, for pardon for those unfortunate
men of whose death L was unwillingly
the cause.
The Colonel was infezibIe. When
those FIVE Croats, peirced by shots, had
fallen, the Colonel who regretted his
soldiers and seemed to forget our friendly
relations, said
And now sir, leave the territory in
two hours, or shall have you arrested as
a spy"
But, Colonel"
He looked at me, and with terrible
voice, said Upon my honor, sir, 1
swear 1t.

A Terrible Death

At about l o'clock on last Friday af-
ternoon, Mrs ID. w. Stambaugh, of this
place, was fatally burned while kindling
fire in a cooking stove. The fire did
not seem to burn very readily whereup-
on she poured carbon oil upon 1.-THE oil
ignited, and the flames reached the can
in her hand In an Instant, causing a ter
rife explosion, which was heard a dis
tance of several squares He clothes
were completely saturated with the oil,
and of course envelOped in flames in less
time than it takes to pen these words. In
this terrible condition she ran out of the
house, and across to the residence Of DR..
O'Donnell, on the adjoining lot. Mr.. f.
@. Miller, who resides on the opposite
side of the street, hearing her screams,
ran to her assistance. Although COM
pletely envelOped in flames, she had
complete presence of mind, aud stood at
the oistern while Mr.. Miller dash.
ed water upon her burning garments.
The flames were extinguished, but her
clothing was entirely consumed, and her
body charred mass as high as her breast.
Her sufferings were indescribable, aud Ia
this awful condition she fingered until /
o el ock on Saturday moning, when death
kindly relieved her ofevery pain, and her
fre ed epirit joined that of a sweet little
daughter who had entered the immortal
land a few months before. The husband

STUDY OF SELF.

Above all subjects, study thine own
SELF For no knowledge that terminate s
in curiosity and speculation, is compare
BILE to that which is of use; aud of ali use
full knowledge, that is most so which con
sists in the due care and just notions of
ourselves. This duty is debt which ev-
cry one owes himself Let us not then be
so lavish, so unjust, as not to pay this
debt by spending some time at least, if
we cannot all, or most of our time and
care, upon that which has the most indie
feasible claim to it. Govern your pas
sions, manage your actions with prudence
and when false steps have been made, cor
rect them for the future. Let nothing
be allowed to go headstrong and disOr-
derly, but bring all under discipline. Set
all your faults before your eyes, and pass
sentence upon yourself with the same Sc
verify that you would do upon another,
for whom no partiality hath biased your
Judgment.

Hints About Health.

From that excellent monthly, Halls
Journal of Health, we take the following
seasonable hints about the use of Disjn-
fectants.-
''Disinfectant separates the odor into
its original elements, and makes new
combinations, new substances, which are
hurtless. Fresh black lime, called un-
Stacked or quieklime. is the mostcommon
disinfectant, dissolved In water until it is
enough to be sprinkled or used with
brush.
Copperas, called green Vitriol or sui
phate of iron, is better than lime, a
pound costing half a dime, dissolved in
four gallons of boiling water, and thrown
into a privy or sink will remove the odor
10 ten minutes, to be repeated two or
three times a month In warm weather, or
as often as any odor is perceptible.
Chloride of lime, sprinkled over damp
places, In yards, cellers, etc, eleanses and
purif1es, but It has Odor of its own, and
is supposed by some to BE- hurtful.
A layer of the fresh burned charcoal
10 powder, two or three inches deep, con
fines the odor of decaying matters but
does not destroy them and IS good for
temporary use until better substances
can be obtained
The managauates of soda or potash,
dissolved in warm water, are among the
best deOdorizers aud disinfectants-
To disinfect linen, or washing apparel,
soak it ia a mixture of one ounce of chic
ride Of lime. In a gallon of water.
Woolens, bedding, etc, which cannot
be washed, are best disinfected by expos :
ure for three or four hours 10 a chamber
heated to two hundred degrees.
To disinfeet rooms, wash the ceiling
and walls with quicklime water, and
scrub the woodwork with brush, soap,
and hot water, and then wash with
two ounces of chloride Of lime dissolved
in gallon of water.
Glass and stoneware after being scrub
bed with sand and soap are deprived of
all Ill odor by shaking dry charcoal pow

LINKS IN TIE CHAIN.


The blast that drove the storm clouds
across the heavens shook the oak, and
the acorn cup loosened from its fruit, fell
on the pathway. The cloud burst; a rain
drop filed the aeorn-eup. A robin,
Wearied by the sultry heat of an autumn
day and troubled by the fury of the storm,
hoped on the path when all was calm,
and drank of the rain drop. Refreshed
and gladdened, he few to the accustomed
window, and there he trilled his sweetest
happy song. The poet heard, and rising
from his reverie, wrote a chant of grateful
rejoicing. The chant went forth into the
world, and entered the house of SORROW,
and uttered its heart-stirring accents by
the couch of sickness. The sorroWful
were eomforted, the sick were cheered.-
Many voices praised the poet. He said :
The chant was inspired by the robin s
song" = owe my song to the rain-drOp,
said the robin. =" [ should have sunk into
the earth had not the acorn cup received
me, said the rain drop. Il had not been
there to receive you but for the angry
blast, said the acorn cup.
And so they that were cOmforted praised
the blast; but the blast replied: Praise
Him at whose word the stormy wind
arlseth, and who from darkness can bring
light, making his mercies oftentimes to
pass through unseen, unknown and IN
suspected channels, and bringing, in due
time, by his own way, the grateful chant
from the angry storm cloud.

OCCUPATION.

Occupation What a glorious thing it
is for human heart. Those who work
hard seldom yield themselves entirely up
to faneied or real sorrow. When grief
sits down. folds its hands, and feeds upon
its own tears, weaving the dim shadows
a little exertion might sweep away into a
funeral pail, the strong spirit is shOrn of
its might, and sorrow becomes our master.
When trouble flows upon you, dark and
heavy, toll not with the waves, wrestle
not with the torrent-rather seek by oc-
cupation to divert the waters that threaten
to overwhelm you into a thousand chan
nels which the duties of life always pre-
sent. Before you dream of it, those
waters will fertilize the present, and give
birth to fresh flowers that may brighten
the future-fowers that will become pure
and holy, in the sunshine which pene-
trates to the path of duty Grief, after
all, is but selfish feeling and most sell
fish is he who yields himself to the indul-
genee of any passion that brings no joy to
his fnil0v men

An Immense Temple of the MUSES..

Louis Napoleon is building in Paris
the largest structure of modern times de-
signed as a place of amusement. 1t is an
opera house which will rival in extent
and grandeur the Coliseum at Rome. It
will cost about s., ,00O, 600, and will be CON
structed entirely Of stone, brick and met
al. Nothing combustible will enter into
its composition. 1t will cover seven and
a half acres, and be two hundred feet in
external height. The auditorium, how
ever, is calculated to seat only about three
thousand persons. Every box will have
its separate saloon attached, fitted up like
drawing rooms, and carriage way will
be constructed to the second story from
the street. The most successful and eel
ebrated artists Of France-painters,
sculptOrs and architects-will be employ
ed in its ornamentation and erection. 1t
will be entirely unapproachable in finish
aud richness by any structure at present
existing.

Suggestive Facts on Advertising.

The advertisements in an ordinary
number of the London Times exceed 81. .
800, the annual advertising bills of one
London firm are said to amount to 500,
600; and three others are mentioned who
each annually expend for the same pur-
pose so, 600, The expense for advertis-
ing the eight editions of the Encyclopedia
Brittanica, is said to have been $4,000.
1t Is also asserted that SIG, ,000, 600 are ex-
pended in England in extra advertising
by circulars, handbills and placards. In
large cities, nothing is more common than
to see large business establishments,
which seem to have an immense adYan-
tage over all competitors by the wealth,
experience and prestige they have acquir-
ed, drop gradually out Of public view. and
be succeeded by firms of a smaller eapi-
tai, more energy, and more determination
to have the fact that they sell such and
such commodities known from one end
Of the land to the other. In other words
the new establishments advertise f.; the old
die of dignity The former ravenOus to
pass out of obscurity into publicity the
latter believe that their publicity is SO
obvious that it cannot be obscured. The
first understand that they must thrust
themselves on public attention or be dis
regarded; the second having once obtain
ed public attention, suppose they have ar
rested it permanently, while in fact moth
ing is more characteristic of the world
than the ease with which it forgets.

The WAY to Fight Cholera.

The disease of which we, in common
with other cities east and west, are having
a few cases daily, is almost certainly sus-
ceptible of relief in its earliest stage.
The way to fight cholera is to give instant
attention to premonitory diarrhea. Not
a single fatal case of cholera has occurred
here this summer that was not more or
less neglected 10 it's incipient form, The
treatment of the premonitory stage Is sim
pie enough-ouly be prompt. Get spe-
oifc for the diarrhea from your family
physician, aud keep it always at the ell
bow A physician should be summoned
at once, in case of threatening symptoms,
but the time spent in going for him is
always precious. RepOse also is as essen
tial to overcome loOseness of the bowels
as medicine. Take care of the diarrheas.

STRONG CHARACTER.


Strength of character consists of two
things-poWer of will and Of self-restraint.
It requires two things, therefore, for its
existence-strong feelings and strong
command over them. Now 1t is here that
we make a great mistake-we mistake
strong feelings for strong character. A
man who bears all before him, before
whose froWn domestics tremble, and
whose bursts of fury make the children
of the household quake-because he has
his will obeyed, and his own way in all
things, we call him a strong man. The
truth is that he is the weak man; it is his
passions that are strong-he, mastered by
them, is weak. You must measure the
strength of a man by the power of the
feelings he subdues, not by the power of
those which subdue him. Aud hence
composure is very often the highest result
of strength.
