WARBRoBE.-William Chambers is man past

able tojudge from past experience tbat Honesty
Is the best policy" But circumstances sur.
rounding have strong influences. II was so in
this case. Cham bers looked over his wardrobe,
and found it sadly deficient in appearance, and
small in quantity. A thought struck him. He
would 90 and be shaved. He would arise from
the operation and brush himself. He woull
innocently marcn up 10 another coat, looking
especially to its better qualities, and slowly en-
close his form within it; he would then march
quietly out. This was a GOOD plan, and it was
tried at BARRIERS shop near Fourth and Ches-
nut. But the Argus-eyed brush-boy, ana other
employees, were too sharp to allow such a cir
cumstance to 90 unnoticed, and he was arrested
and committed by Alderman Hurley, to answer
at a further hearing.

who was coming in from Humboldt,
found a man lying in a dying condition

Fleming, but was too far gone TO give
any 0 Of himself or how he came
to be in the terrible condition in which
he was found. He was taken TO Rag
town, where everything that humanity
could suggest was done for him, but he
died the next morning after he was

TIE Public DEsr-NEEDLEss TAXA
rIoS.-The public debt of Great Britain
is lin round numbers, $4,000, 900, 900,
and the population is put down at
30, 900, 900. We have been accustomed
to regard this debt as not only NOR
nous, but bearing with oppressive
weight upon the people. And yet it is
much better handled than our own
and, indeed, the revenue system of
Great Britain, in simplicity and perfec-
tion Of details, is greatly in advance Of
any system yet initiated in this country.
The public debt Of the United States is
81, 800, 900, 900, and the population about
30, oO0, 900. The debt of this country,
If apportioned, would be $50 per capita.
The rate per head of the British debt
would be Sl33. But England, with one
of the most expensive Governments in
the world, raises all the revenue needed
by a tax laid on not over so articles,
while in this country we pay taxes on
Is 5000 articles, including the tariff
rates. The trouble is, that among all
our politicians, no one has appeared OF
late, to grasp the whole subject Of reve-
nue. and evolve a comprehensive plan
10 the place of the present wretched
system. At every session Of Congress
the law is tlnkered up as a temporary
expedieut, but even the patches only
serve to show more couspicuously the
faults of the system. There IS room
here for u great reformation. The peo-
pie are looking for the coming man.
Chase and Fessendeu were perhaps equal
TO the task but neither seemed to have
my great relish for the work. Who
ever will address himself TO the work,
,nd really evolve n revenue system
which shall carefully protect the public
iebt on the one hand and the people on
the other, will probably accomplish
what has never yet been done in this
country. Our tariff is the twin OF the
revenue lRw-the one discouraglng
home production by excessive taxation
md the other taxing the people and dis
c~ouragiug competition by excessive m
mort duties. The vicious system OF
over.protec,ion is interviewer, and con-
stitutes the indirect plan Of taxation.
Our ship building interest, witch was
the pride of the country, has gone TO the
wall, and other branches Of trade stag
nate while the country groans under
evenue burdens which might be so ad-
jus,ed that the people would hardly
feel them.-S. F Bulletin.
