lightning, [ would prefer to tackle
those outrages first and get them off
our mind. if it would be all the same
to the Russian Bath Company.
But the foreigner said no, and
looked perplexed-delicate sarcasm
always perplexes a foreigner-and [
plunged in. After this, [ had to
climb up on the marble benches and
sweat aud cook again for fifteen min
utes. aud then Adam came back and
put me through the same old system
of tortures, again winding up with a
Niagara shower bath that must have
washed all my sins away-unless they
had got caked on me-because [ felt
like a regenerated man a moment
afterward. Adam took me into a
room of gentler temperature next,
and rubbed me with his hands and
kneaded me all over with his knuckles
as if l were dough; and sprung all
my joints and tried to pull my limbs
out by the roots. Then he brushed
me gently all over with a soft brush,
and finally sat me up and scratched
and scratched and scratched my head
for ten minutes with his finger nails,

anything.
[ dressed and went into the draw

politeness to a stranger is rare In New

it was not present to any of my senses
then. The Russian bath will do.

SATURDAY
BY y. P. WILLIS.

I love to look on a scene like this.
OF wild and careless play.
And persuade myself that | am not old,
And my locks are not yet gray:
For il stirs the blood of an old mans heart,
To catch the thrill OF a happy voice,
And the light of a pleasant eye.
I have walked the world for four-score
years,
And they say Il a l am old
That my heart is ripe for the reaper Death,
And my years are well nigh told.
II is very true-it is very true
[ am old, and |, bid my time"
But my heart will leap at a scene like this,
And l half renew my prime.
Play on play on l am with you there,
In the MIDST of you merry ring;
/ can feel the thrill of the daringJump.
And the rush of the breathless swing,
l hide with o in the fragrant nay,
And | wnOOp the smothered cali.
But my feet slip up on h seedy door,
And I care not TOR the fall.
/ am willing to die when nay time shall
come,
And I shall be glad to 60
For the world at best is a weary place,
And my pulse is getting.low;
But the grave is dark, and the heart Will
fall
In treading its gloomy way;
And it wiles my breast from its d~rearineSs.
To see the young so gay.

An Anecd0te of Webster.

All men appear to have, more or
less, two natures. Daniel Webster
was remarkable in this respect. He
was as grave as a Senator should be
in the Senate house, but gay as a
summer bird in outdoor pursuits. A
gentleman was appointed minister to
a foreign court while Webster was
Secretary of State. The former had
to go repeatedly to the latter for his
credentials-indeed, it seemed as
though he would never get them, Mr..
Webster constantly putting him off,
with his solemn manner, on the
ground Of having to attend to i'm
portant affairs of State. At last, the
session of Congress being over, and
Mr.. Webster about to leave Washing
ton, he apologized, urging the APP
pointee to call on him at his
home at Marshland, where he GER
tainly should receive his papers. He
went there and got what he required.
Webster took him fishing, and amused
the gentleman through other light
pursuits, and when he left he was de-
lighted and surprised at the contrast
of character between the statesman
at Washington and the man of Marsh
land. A friend happened to ask our
newly appointed diplomat whether he
had seen Webster. Seen him?"
was the response, why there are two
of them!" Sidney Smith described
Webster as a steam engine in trou-
SerS.

chesapeake and Ohio Railroad.

Chesapeake dllQ ONO tCcillIOtC.
The action Of the Board of Public
Works and the Board Of Directors of the
Virginia Central Railroad Company in re.
lation to conditional subscriptions of stock
to the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad,
which we publish, will be interesting to
the friends of the work in West Virginia.
We are gratified to learn that the coun-
ties In the Kanawha Valley, as we'll as
those interested in the Big Sandy branch,
propose to make large subscriptions, to be
expended in the construction Of the west
ern end Of the road.
They need have no hesitation in making
the subscriptions on the terms proposed,
as there is no question that their funds
will be expended in accordance with their
wishes
At meeting of the Board of Public
Works, Richmond, 10th Of September,
1867, it being represented to the Board of
Public Works that certain counties in
West Virginia are disposed to make liberal
subscriptions to the stock Of the Chesa-
pcake and Ohio railroad upon condition
that the amount Of such subscriptions shall
be expended in the construction of the
western end Of said road, this Board de-
clares that if the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad Company shall accept subscrip-
tions on such conditions the company
will be bound to comply with said condi-
tions, and the influence Of the Board of
Public Works in said company should be
exercised to secure compliance with the
terms Of such subscriptions.

Who are Eligible to the Convention?
This would be an interesting question if
it had not been decided by Congress. In
the first Of the reconstruction acts occurs
the following proviso:
Preceded, That no person excluded
from the privilege Of holding Office by said
proposed amendment to the Constitution
of the United States shall be eligible to
election as O member Of the convention to
frame constitution for any of said rebel
States, nor shall any such person vote for
members of said convention
And here comes in again the oft-repeated
maxim of the law, erpressio tu,ius erclatsio
est dlteriuS. In other words, Congress hav-
ing declared that certain classes Of per-
sons shall be ineligible, it has in effect de.
clared that all other classes shall be eligi
bic. This argument needs not to be elabo
rated.
The last of the reconstruction acts pro
vides that call persons hereafter elected
or appointed to office " in Virginia sun
"der any So called State or municipal al
"thority, or by detail or appointment of tn
"listrict commanders" shall take the iron
clad oath. The same argument we have
employed above applies here. Congress:
having declared that all officers included
in the language quoted shall take the said
oath, it has in effect declared that men,
bers of the Convention, who are not elect
cd under any State or municipal authority,
nor appointed by General ScHoF1ELD, but
are chosen by virtue of an act of Con-
gress, shall not be required to take the
oath in question.
The unavoidable conclusion is that
every man not excluded from the priv
lcge of holding office by the proposed
constitutional amendment is eligible to the
convention.

respondent were to investigate the conse-
quences of entrusting nations destinies

If the President is going to reopen the
registry lists, he will do well to have it
ascertained how there happens to be about
as many negro voters registered in Louisi-
ana as there are negroes of all ages and
sexes in the entire State. A reasonable
amount Of darkey is good thing but too
much Of it is nuisance. Let us have
Sheridan's' work overhauled.-C Chicago
Times.
We have similar result here. The
census Of 1860 shows that there were in
Richmond and Henrico county two whites
to every negro, while the registration
shows more negroes than whites.

The Tobacco Tax.

This tax, like that Of whiskey, is giving
vast deal of trouble to the Government.
Frauds are extensive, and honest people
engaged in the manufacture of tobacco
have been serious sufferers from these
frauds. According to the statement OF
Commissioner ROLLINS, the amount OF
taxable tobacco in 1866 was only thirty
five and half million pounds. The crop
in the United States in 1860 was upwards
Of 429,0O0,OO0 pounds. By the extensive
use Of leaf in its natural state, and the
extensive frauds through illegal manufac-
ture and sale, the Government, according
to the commissioner, loses about one-hali
of the whole revenue it might raise if the
tax were thoroughly collected. Only about
five per cent. of the internal revenue is
collected from tobacco, while England
collects eleven per cent. Of the national
revenue from tobacco duties. The present
revenue from tobacco in this country is said
to be Sl7,OO0,O0O per annum, when it
should be SSO,OOO,OOO.
Those who discuss this subject, and that
of whiskey, and other sharp impositions of
the internal revenue, while inyeighing
against frauds and drawing comparisons
with England and France, should remem-
Der that these harsh burthens are new to
our people, and exceedingly obnoxious.
Those on whom they are imposed learn
more rapidly how to evadc than the Co.
Vernment does how to collect them. It
takes time for government once simple.
cheaply administered, and free of debt, to
graduate as complete despotism, with its
"coast guards" its sentinols at every cor
ner, and almost every door, and its detec
tives in almost every house. such NM
sitions as are now placed upon the neop,a
1t will require the maturest and most tbo
roughly administered system of espionage
ana OF collection. The Government mus,
take many lessons before it is thorouphlv
accomplished. In the mean time had i
not better try tightening the burdens A
lower grade of taxation might realize more
revenue.
