( PISTOL SHOOTING ENrGAORDINt-
RY.-The New York Citi,ca tells the
following rather MunchauSenish sto-
ries about Recorder Elackctt'S pistol
shooting prowess:
Recorder Hackett can do more re
markabIe things with Il pistol than
amy man now living, probably thai;
has ever lived. He can split bullets
on the edge Of a knife twelve times
ont of twelve at twenty PAGES. He
will take the ashes off friends cigar,
held in the friends mouth, at the
same distance. He will pick away a
quarter held between a friend 5 finger
aud thumb at thirty yards, with un-
crring certainty. He will shoot halt
dollars, placed upright, from a mau'S
head. He will Kill a muSquito on the
wall as far as hec IN see the 'animllc;'
and all these things he will do IN any
attitude you pleaSe-the pistol held
on "A level with his forehead and turn
cd upside down. fired between his
legs, in recumbent po>ltlon-ia
fact, in any way or every way that
will only allow one glance ot the mn
erring eye along the barrel. Give
him three shots with a crooked pistol
to gauge its inaccuracies. and he viii
use it as readily as his most familiar
weapon. Indeed, one ot his iavorite
pistols is a little ivovy-hiitcd rcpra-
ter, which throws nearly five feet
out of gauge in distance oi thirty
Yards. Judge Hackett has ascertain
cd and makes exact allowance for
this ecceutricity, and would just as
soon shoot a match with this latter
weapon rs with the most accurate
Colt, Derrngcr, or Mau;on in his
armrTN.

A NOBLE ACT-The Saratoga Senti-
net reports the following case of devo-
ton to an invalid wife by husband.
His name is worthy Of immortality:
son the 3lst day of March last, Rob-
ert Spier, then residing at Watertown,
in this State, having an invalid wife,
who has lost the use of her lower limbs,
on being told that the mineral waters
here might prove Il cure, started from
WatertOwn with a wheelbarrOw, con-
tanning his wife and infant child of
twenty months, together with few ar
ticles, making the load he had to wheel
some two hundred and eighty pounds.
He was also accompanied by his other
child,-a boy of some six years OF age,
vhO ,odtked the entire aody here from
Wutert0Wn, while his father wheeled
in the barrow the poor decrepid wife,
baby, and the few quilts, &C., he had.
During the snow storm in April, while
in Lewis county, the family were COM
PEELED to lay up in shanty for eight
DAYS; food being furnished them by
some kind neighbors. On Saturday
last, the group arrived two miles below
this village, where they were encamped
i'm the woods, at the last accounts. An
effort, however is being made to provide
more comfortable quarters for them in
this village, SO that the waters OF our
pool of Bethesda may, if possible, prove
of benefit to the sickly wife, We learn

The Near bureau Bin.

The new revenue bill changes the In f.
ternal Revenue Bureau into Depart |
ment, the chief officer of which is TO be
Commissioner, whose annual salary
is to be $4,000; Assistant Commissioner,
$4,000; six Deputy Commissioners, with
a salary of $4,000 each, one Solicitor at
salary of $4,000, together with requisite
number of clerks and messengers. A
new class of officers is to be created,
same as recommended by special Com
missioner Wells, two years ago, called
supervisors ofthe revenue, one of whom
is to be assigned to each judicial district
of the country. II is made their bust
ness to superintend the general collec-
ton of revenue and to report from time
to time the manner in which business
is transacted by assessors and collectors.
They are also invested with power to rO-
tate or change from place to place, all
Embellishments as inspectors, gaugers
and storekeepers, whose duties are pre-
scribed and salaries fixed.
The bill prescribes the duties of asses
sors, assistant assessors, and the method
in which taxes shall be assessed, and
also those of collectors and deputy col
lectOrs and the method Ofcollecting taxes.
1t provides for proceedings where seiz-
ures and distraint becomes necessary in
order to insure the collection of the tax,
together with the regulations for the
conducting Ofsuits, remission of tax and
compromising fines and penalties.
The DILL provides for attention to frauds
and penalties and drawbacks, and the
fourth division of the act embraces sew
eral comprehensive and complete Sec
tons with regard to the execution and
filing of bonds. The fifth division of
the bill contains several miscellaneous
sections, bringing together in complete
manner and under separate heads all
the provisions of the law relating to each
separate department. In these respects
it is CLAIMED the bill has great superior
ity over existing statues. A superiority,
i'm fact characterized the entire bill.
The next department embraces special
taxes, formerly known as licences. The
number of these greatly increased, prob
ably doubled. The rates are very gener-
ally advanced, although some occupa-
tiOns formerly taxed are now exempted.
$1,000, or one-fifth of one per cent retain
ed. The next department. of the bill
concerns stamps, which has not been
greatly amended.
The succeeding department embraces
variety of special taxes, including
those on banks and bankers, passports
and taxes on articles mentioned in what
is known as schedule A, which includes
carriages, watches and pianos. The
old division of gross receipts is abandon
ed, and in place thereof each source of
taxation stands by itself. The provisions
relative to distilled spirits cover fifty
pages.

Paris Press on impeachment.

Paris Press on Impeachment.
The news of the acquittal of johnson on
the eleventh article was received Saturday
evening. Nearly all the papers of yester-
day have editorials on the subject.
The Temps (Democratic), says johnson
was saved by legal forms only. He has
been deposed in the mind of the country.
The journal Des Debats (Orleanist) says
while johnson was acquitted, the vote is
such as to render him powerless thereafter.
La Liberte (Radical opposition) says SIM
ply that the verdict shows that liberty is
the best guarantee of justice.
The Constitutional (semi-official 1mperi-
alist) regards the vote as fatal to the Radi-
cal party.
The Epogue was opposed to impeach-
ment from the beginning. 1t blames the
Republicans tor attempting to remove the
Executive on the ground of breaking laws,
and says that great political party could
not have more lost its prestige.
The Presse (Austro- Catholic) ventures
no decided opinion, but confines its re-
marks to admin alton of the vitality of re-
publican institutions, which permits the
Chief Magistrate of forty millions of peo-
pie to be brought to trial without blood
shed or national disquiet.

BY way of change from
the extraordinary dullness in the item
trade, we are able this morning to chron-
icle two burglaries. On Monday night the
grocery store of M. Slade, corner of Fourth
and Gay streets, was entered by burglars
and robbed of money and goods to the
value of about forty-five dollars. The rob-
bers effected an entrance through the back
door, and went off with their plunder leav-
ing the front and rear entrances wide open.
The butcher shop of j. B. Rusk, next
door to Sade's, was also visited by these
robbers and ten dollars in shinnies and
twenty-five dollars in bills ca rried off. The
police have no clue to the burglaries.
