Reduction of Tax List.

We clip from the Congressional Re-
port in the Cincinnati Gazette the fol-
lowing resume of the remarks Of Mr..
Schenck, Chairman of the Commit
tee Of Ways and Means, in regard to
the new Tax Law that would be pre-
sented by him. Our readers can see
that the articles to be taxed are be-
ing reduced as rapidly as possible,
consistent with the best interests Of
the country:
"Mr. SchencIz, from the Committee
of Ways and Means, reported a bill
for the relief of certain exporters of
distilled spirits; after explaining the
bill, Mr.. Schenck went on to give the
House information as to the business
before the Committee of Ways and
Means. The present tax laws, he said,
were prOlix and contradictory, full of
repetitiOns, and in fact, such a mass of
crude legislation, that it had been
thought advisable to report an entire
revision of the whole system, with
all its provisions, and the Committee
was now at work preparing bill Of
that kind, and hoped to report in a
week or two. The Committee pro-
pose to impose no tax whatever on
home manufactures, except, perhaps,
five or six articles, and those purely
articles of luxury. The Committee
would still preserve the special tax in
the nature Of a license on manufac-
turprs and on other persons, and, per-
haps, would retain, in some instances,
tax on sales, amounting to about
one-ffth of one per cent. The Com
mittee were satisfied the five per cent.
tax on all the manufactures of the
country could be, and ought to be
given up. He should not undertake
to say what these five or six articles
were on which the tax was proposed
to be retained. They were, however,
purely articles of luxury, such as
jewelry, gold watch cases, billiard ta-
bles, &c. He was afraid if he were to
name them all, the Committee would
be overrun with representatives of
those interests. He had been asked
as to one large manufacturing interest,
that of the carriage makers, and he
was ready now to say that carriages
were not among the articles regarded
as luxuries and to be taxed"

Lamp Explosions.

In these days of lamp explosions, it
would be well to heed the advice
which DR.. A Roeder gives relating to
the prevention of these, at times, dis
tressing mishaps:
How TO GUARD AGAINsT.-1. Fill
and trim your lamps smoothly with a
sharp pair of scissors, not in the even
ing near a blazing fire, or a lighted
candle, but in the morning.
2. Refill your lamps every morning
and do not attempt to light them half
or only one-fourth full; this will avoid
all possible danger from an explosive
mixture of Oil vapOr and atmospheric
air having formed in the empty part
of the lamp while not in use.
3. Do not walk hurriedly up or
down stairs with a lighted coal oil
lamp, particularly when only hall
filled or less; the violent agitation Of
the oil will drive out the vapOr, a cor
responding portion of air may enter
through the tube of the burner, form
ing an explosive mixture within.
4. Do not pass with a lighted half
empty lamp suddenly from a very hot
room into cold one, or to an open
door, where the cold may strike it
a partial condensation of the oil vapoI
within may take place, air enter to fill
the created vacuum, an explosive mix
ture, and an explosion the result.
5. Do not attempt to blow out the
light when in full blaze by blowing
down into the chimney; air and fire
may both enter the lamp vessel and
an explosion might happen, but re-
move the light by screwing the wick
down, when it will go out itself.
6. Clean your. lamps thoroughly,
taking out the turbid, sedimentary
remains at least once a week soak the
burner in hot lye to remove all grease
and SCOT collected about it, and see
that the wick corresponds exactly with
the burner, which will Obviate a too
free and easy communication of the
oil vessel with atmospheric air.
z. By all means do not r1youI
children or ignorant persons t58ttend
to the filling and lighting of your
lamps and handling cans, except you
have instructed them when, and
where and how to do it, and see your
self that it is done so.
s. Do not for Gods sake if yOU
value your life, pour kerosene oil, NJ
matter how good or how bad it may
be, into burning kindling, from an OF
can. The best and otherwise safes
oil will and must explode and destro!

Life OfGen. Grant.

We are glad to learn that Col. Hen
ry G. Deming, SO much distinguish
ed in the last Congress for his elo-
quence in debate, and who was
greatly instrumental in procuring the
passage Of the act creating the Office Of
Lieutenant General, has been engaged
for some time on a Life of General
Grant.
The terms of intimacy and conf
dence which subsist between the elo-
quent author and Grant and his
friends-Washburn, of ILL.,, Governor
Yates and others-give him greater
facilities in his labOrs than any other
writer could have.
Those who have seen portions of
the manuscript, speak of it as being
written with great power and of alb
sorbing interest.
This will probably be THE Life Of
Grant, for wide and general circula-
ton. We learn it will be published
by S. S. Scranton & CO., Hartford,
Ct, and the National Publishing Co.,
Cincinnati, Ohio.
