Pantomimc is prospering at the Bowery IL de-
serves to prosper Its object is to stimulate innocent
mirth and that object it accomplishes in thorough
manner The particular work that now holds the
stage of the BoweTy is an adaptation by Mr. &. w.
Taylor of an English extravaganza called " La Tar
antular and is entitled Little Boy Blue or Hush-a-
byeBaby, And Patty and her Pitcher" This compre-
hcnsve title permits great latitude in the treatment of
topics and the author has nimby ranged throughout
the realms of familiar fancy. The prologue makes one
think of Faust" save that it discoses another place
than Heaven. Here Mephst0pheles IS seen, and his
attendant spirits most dismal and most ridiculous
forms of beast and reptile. Here, too, the Genius OF
Harmony is opposed to the Genius of Evil, and
suitable prelude is made to strife that Is presently
to involve all the numerous characters IN the panto-

scene and pair of lovers. The fortunes OF the latter
are pursued III the play. They are protected, OF

The United States present to the world a
noble example in having reduced their National
Debt no less than Two Hundred aud Nine
Millions of Dollars during the year ending on
the 21st inst The balance in the Treasury
was increased during that year by no les:
than Eighteen Millions of Dollars. We had
only to keep on our taxes so as to maintain
the revenue of 1866, and we should
have paid the last fraction of our
debt by the 4th day of July, 1876, and might
then have celebrated Our nations One
hundredth birthday with just and honest pride
as well as with religious gratitude. We deeply
icgrct that Congress saw fit to cut down the
taxes so swcepingly that we cannot reduce our
Debt by half 50 much during the next as we
did during the last year 1t was grievous
mistake, and giieyously must it yet be
answered for.

The relations between Austria and Prussia
appear to be quite friendly. Some of the lead
ing papers of Austria advocate the conclusion
of a defensive and offensive alliance between
the two countries, and a Ministerial paper Of
Berlin significantly replies that Austria would
not find more faithful ally than Prussia if
she would enter, without reservation, into a
close uniOn and promote the national develop
ment of Germany. Some years ago, Prussia
proposed to Austria the conclusion of an often
sve and defensive alliance, with mutual
guarantee of territories, if Austria would con
sent TO withdraw from the German Confcdera-
ton and cede to Prussia the leadership of
New Germany. The above language OF the
Ministerial paper of Berlin and the present
relations of Prussia with the South German
States would seem to indicate that a renewal
of similar propositions from Prussia to Austria
is by no means impossible.

The last annual official estimate of State taxa
tiOn was 81 mfls--a rate extraordinary, but, per-
haps unavoidable. Controller HillhOuse, in a
letter 10 an Albany Committeeman, now shows
to what an alarming extent this tax is about TO
be increased by the high tide of legis-
lative appropriations. He presents list of
the principal of these, either passed or threat
enng passage, which altogether amount to
S23s5,OOO against the small sum of
S4l40OO provided for in the annual
estimate of 1t mills tax on account
of the General Fund. To this must be added
another estimate of bills containing provisions
for the levy of special tax in each case.

to provide for the more efficient government

ground that the act is unconstitutional, and
that the sovereignty of the State of Mississippi
