Sr-1n answer to your letter of the Sth of Octo-
ber, / have to say that the Law imposes tax on
tobacco reduced from leaf into condition to be
consumed" J" by whatever mode such reduction
may be effected and also on ell refuse scraps and
sweepipgs Of tobacco. Tobacco put upon the
market for sale or consumption as smoking or
chewing tobacco, must, under the law, be regarded
as tobacco In Q condition to be consumed, and
therefore taxable. And all such tobacco. before
sale or removal from the place Of manufacture,
must be put up in packages, as prescribed by Law,
and have stamps denoting the payment Of the tax
affixed ard cancelled. - --,....l ..-r
Manufacturers of cigars who sell their scraps
and clippings for consumption as smoking tobac-
CO, must pack and stamp it according to law. aud
collectors of internal revenue are only author
lied to sell stamps for tobacco aud snuff to such
bonds as required by Law. 1t may become neces-
sary for cigar manufacturers who put up their
scraps and clippings for sale, to pay the special
tax and give the requisite bond as manufacturers
Of tobacco, before they can procure stamps from
the collector. ~ l..... .t...,
The scraps and clippings, however, may be sold
In bulk without the payment Of any tax, provided
sively to manufacturers Of smoking tobacco, or to
any other manufacturer who will use the same in
the production Of smoking tobacco, snun and
cigarettes, or any other similar product which will
pay tax, and which manufacturer is bound by
law to account for to the government for all the
materials Of whatever kind he purchases and
consumes or uses. a s
Stems and swsepings which are neither In a
condition to be consumed, nor of sufficient value
to warrant their sale as material to be used In the
manufacture Of other products, may be destroyed,
i done with the knowledge and consent Of the
local revenue officers. Yours respectfully,

Bury your memories skeletons grim
Are fit for the charnel, and not for the fast

The days that have fallen are wthered and gone
Who values The glory q stranger has seen.
Or sehs for tie roses that blushed with the dawn,
And faded ere noon. with its culminate sheen,
Had told them of brightness, half sister to pain.
In that II must linger when all shall have flown :;
That rendered IL happy, till evening again
Brings night to the mourners to csver their
Speak not of dead things let the grave cancel all
For the eoul, ss it blots out the body and life
Smile, pray, curse or combat; but lift not the
That rests on the dead-they are out of the
strife.
Their help or their hatred counts nothing and now
We want for our labor of hand or of heart
Ready cash; and life's earnestness will not allow
The toiler to turn from his toilipg apart.
Weeping is wearness-why should you weep?

To its phantom proprletors, pale shades that
mourn.
1t is theirs: let them have it, and there let them

Beating ghost bosoms vaiDly with wan shadow

While they reek Of their woe, and their meanings
Them as nothing to bring back the sun to their

Let them haunt and inhabit that world of dim
things, e.e .-ef .r
Where, II happiness glitters, it is but a dream;
And Music herself, when, forgetting, she sings,
Sings songs that most sadden when sweetest
they seem.
But here, in the day time, where money, and pride,
Beauty, fashion, and fame are all fair to pursue,
Surely you need not waste on the things that have
died,
And at best would be old now, what's owed to
tie new.
So bury your memories bury them deep,
Sodsealed from the kenning of foe or of friend,
And love let the dew and the violets keep
The march is not long, and we camp at the end.

For once in the last seven years,
Andy johnson in the person of his
counsel will be compelled to abandon
his private demijohn and step up to
the bar-a different bar from that
which he was accustomed to In his
young days, and where, we hope, will
be dispensed the most effective dose
ever administered to his corpus. Mon
day last was to hear his answer before
the Court of Impeachment to the
charges Of the House. The disposi-
tion Of his friends to filibuster will re-
ceive no favor in the Court, as there
can be nothing requiring further de-
lay in the case. To-day the House
Committee will file their replication
and by Monday the Both, the trial
will begin in order and proceed until
conclusion.

The n. Y. Observer, religious
paper, says, the Steam Man is no hoax.
We have seen him, steam up, legs
flying and all going, A figure in hu-
man shape, with boiler inside of him
and FIRE blazing, has the necessary
machinery at his back TO make his legs
go alternately, and with power sufli-
cient to draw as much as a horse.
This is a small man. Itmay be made
of two, three, four horse power, and to
move at the rate Of 10 or 10 miles an
hour, with a load on common road.
This fellow came over from Newark
by the ordinary road when the snow
made the travel bad. The whole cost
ofa man engine, ready to draw is
about 5 800. 1t costs about fifteen
cents day to keep him in coal, which
is the only feed he needs, Ifyou arc

in, and see the operation.

our peach and pear orchards for fire
