The London Daily NetcS thus refers to the taxation
by governments OF their own securities and the
gument Is interesting in connection with the House
resolution passed on Monday
The time has evidently arrived when II behooves
the holders OF foreign bonds to take measures to pro-
tect themselves against the new form OF spoliattOn
lately lnaugrated by Austria and Italy. According
to the law which has passed the Austrian Reichsrath
total reduction of 20 per cent is to be made from
the coupons OF the debt, and though the law de-
clares that the amount OF the tax shall never be
increased In the future, the same power which
enacts this clause can, OF course, abrOgate II.
In Italy It Is proposed at the instance Of the Com
mittee OF the Chamber which Overrdes the scheme
prOpOunded by the Minister OF Finance, to
Impose upon both the home and foreign fundholders
an income tax which will gradually reduce the per
cent interest borne by the national debt to Az The
fear from the outset expressed by rseeing persons
that the example is likely to spread among such
foreign States as have already accumulated q large
national debt Is confirmed by an extract from the
Lepdnt Herald OF the Sd inst, in which cOrrespon-
dent OF that paper boldly suggests that 10 per cent
income tax should be placed upon the coupons OF the
f4O DOC, 900 OF Turkish per cent General Debt.r
What reception the proposal meets with at Constan-
tinOple has not TRANSFERRED but 1t il evident that
foreign bOndholders generally will do well to be
the alert. Much good might be done were the Com
mittee OF the Stock Exchange to put out q specific
declaration OF nature likely to weigh with States
which would shrink from closing our market against
themselves. 1t is to be hoped that in future con-
tracts for foreign loans will be taken protect
the subscribers against all contingencies OF this
turo.

QUEER TArLoR.-Mr. G0ttlieb Brenner tailor,
who lives on Mary street. over the canal left his
goose last saturday night, and taking his shears with
him stroed out OF town. Nothing was heard OF him
unfit yesterday morning, when a couple Of butchers
found him lying In the muddy bed Of the canal, near
Foges grove, weltering In the blood that flowed
from several deep wounds In his breast and hts side
They managed 10 get HIM on his legs again. and
wanted to know by what degrees he had sunk to the
ignomnous level Of our exhausted canal. He related
the story OF a terrible onslaught by dozen more
men, and said that they had used him in very
brutal manner, had cut him and thrown him into the
miro. II was apparent that he had been drinking
pretty freely and It Is supposed that while under the
influence OF his rotations he foolshly attempted to
fashion himself into some kind of garment by max
ing deep lncsions in his flesh. He was taken TO his
home and put to bed.-Ctncfnnaa Commercial,

Paris lady with an Italian title, WI

A Paris lady with an Italian title, who
moves in the first society, owes her good for
tune to an accidental tumble into pit. The
story is romantic if not creditable. Some
years ago French nobleman. hunting in the
forests of Brittany, fell into one Of the pits
used for storing winter vegetables. Unable
to get out he remained there until band of
peasants approached, to whom he appealed
for assistance They required that he should
first hand out his yaluables, and while he was
complying with this outrageous demand, 6
young girl, leaning forward to take something
from his hand, fell into his arms. He held
her as hostage, but the peasants fed, find
ing themselves outwitted The Marquis and
his companion spent three days in the pit be-
fore assistance reached them, in which time
he discovered that the girl was pretty, intelli-
gent and agreeable, and when released took
her to Paris, educated her and at his death
left her millionaire.

John Marshall-my Boy.

- o..
The following very appropriate lines were in
scribed to the Statue Of Chief Justice Marshall,
in Capital Square, Richmond, Va.
By Capt. lnnis Randolph, Of General Long
streets Staff, formerly Of Washington city.
We are glad to see you, John Marshall, my boy,
So fresh from the chisel Of Rodgers:
Go take your stand en- the monument there,
Along with other old Codgers:
With Washington, Jefferson, Henry and such,
q Who sinnsd with great transgression,
in their. old-fashioned notions of Freedom and
Right, % 99t
And their hatred Of wrong and oppression.
You come rather late to your pedestal, John,
For sooner you should have been there :;
For the volume you hold is no longer the law,
And this is no longer Virginia.
The old Marshall-law you expounded Of yore,
Is now not at all to the purpose,
And the martial law of the new Brigadier,
Is stronger than Habeas Corpus.
So keep your volume shut with care,
For the days Of the law are over,
And it needs all your brass to be holding there,
With "Justice" inscribed on the cover.
Could life awaken the limb of bronze
And blaze in the FURNISHED eye,
What would ye do with your moment Of life,
Ys men Of the days gone by?
Would ye chide US, or pity us, blame or weep,
Ye men of the days gone byf
Would Jefferson tear UP the scroll that he holds
That time has proved a lie?
And Marshall shut the volume 0: law
And lay it down with sigh!
Would Mason roll up the ssBill of Rights"
From race unworthy to scan it?
And Henry dash down the eloquent sword,
And clang it against the granite.
And Washington, seated in massey strength,
On the charger that paws the air,
Could He see his sons in their deep disgrace,
Would he ride SO proudly there?
He would get him down from his big brass horse
And cover his face with shame,
For the land Of his birth is now "District One

TIE LOCAL PApER.-The newspapers Of
= town are its lifeblood. Without them it
cannot prosper. The better they are support
ed at home, the more powerful will their in
Auence be abroad. In young cities, strug-
Cling as are those along the Missouri, for
municipal supremacy, the daily papers have
done more and more, and are doing more to
aid in building up the towns in which they
are published, and to increase their business,
than all the merchants together. To the
merchants they are indispensable, as those
who have made use Of them as medium
through which to reach the public, well know.
And they contribute largely to the prosperity
of every citizen, for their influence is felt in
q thousand different directions.
