REHABILITATION OF WHIsKEY
DECISION OF MIR. EVARTS.

The vexed question concerning the dis
tiliation, rectifcation, and double taxav
ton in the whisky case seems to have
reached a solution at last 1t will be re-
membered that the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue and the Kentucky distil-
lcrs materially disagreed as to the cons
struction that should be given to a clause
of the recent internal revenue law, which
the Commissioner construed as forbids
ding rehabilitation within a certain dis
lance of the still in which whisky was
first produced as singlings unless an ad~
ditional tax was paid as rectifers. Strong
influences, among which were the assur-
ances Of the Speaker of the House of
Representatives and the member Of the
committee who framed the bill, were
brought to bear upon Mr.. Rollins to cons
vince him that such was not the intention
of the law; but the Commissioner failed
to be convinced, and the matter was re-
ferred to the Attorney General for his
opinion. That opinion has been given,
and the construction of the law as given
bv the Internal Revenue Bureau has been
set aside Mr. Evarts holds that no sep~
arate tax accrues upon what is known
among distillcrs as singlings, dOublings,
aud backings-singlings being the whisky
after one distillation, which becomes doub-
lings by redistribution The tax, he thinks,
should attach when the distilled spirits
goto the receiyingroom for sale. The effect
of this decision will be to start multitudes
Of stills that had ceased operations under
the uDjustly severe pressure of the law
which subjected manufacturers to double
tax. Very few stills have been working
since the effect of the law was expert
enced, and one of the consequences Of
such stagnation is that the public revenue
from this hitherto prolific source has
! been diminished to a remarkable extent
the activity that will be created by the
publication of the Attorney General:
| decision will bring a welcome increase
to the receipts from distillaticR.

s-APILLAR OF FIRE.

Appearance Of "a Meteor Of Intense
BrIIIiancy I'm the Southwestern
Heavens.
A gentleman of this city, passing out
Sixth street a few nights since, between
ii and II o'clock, alleges that he saw one
Of the most brilliant meteors that ever
astonished the jewellers on this mundane
sphere At the time, the moon was shin
ing brightly, and great bank of light
white mist had settled over the sleeping
city, giving the atmosphere a peculiar
mellowness and softness. As he was
walking rapidly along with his head down
he was suddenly startled by a bright
fash Of light directly before him, which
in another instant was thrown along a
portion of the whole street, rendering
objects for some distance as clear to his
vision as ifhe had been walking in the
brightness of q summer day. Looking
up, he beheld blazing globe Of fire in
the northwestern sky, to the naked eye,
equal in size to large drum, having the
appearance of molten iron. Hardly had
he looked ere the great white pail seemed
parted as if by an explosion, and showers
Of beautifully cclored sparks fell like
rain Of blazing jewels, and were lost in
the night. The nucleus Of the bright
body remained for an instant, and then,
as it darted swiftly earthward, another
explosion seemed to occur, and a second
time the meteor threw off its glittering
showers then disappeared altogether,
A number of other gentlemen, beside
our informant, who saw the meteor, corr
rOborate his account of it. The sublime
spectacle created much comment among
the few who were fortunate enough to
witness it, and some Of the more imaginN
alive thought they read in the descending
particles the names Of Seymour and Blair
Others read Grant and Colfs y" while
others again thought they saw distinctly,
in we'll defined, letters, the terrible word,
"War." OF course all these speculatiOns
as to the portent of the meteor, or the
shape the falling fragments assumed, are
mere imaginings, the meteor itself being
only the result of natural laws, and only
uncommon in It's great size and brillian-

rOms Diiiused redness and tumeiactiOn,
followed afterwards by numerous yesicles,

malady | noticed the presence on both
feet of red transverse stripes at equal
distances from each other The course
of the affection was altogether different

pect that some external poison had deter.

itself under the influence Of some socks

A Waste Of land. sodden plain, se&

Mild clouds that fed and faded fast
In ghostiy phantasy;
A field upturned by trampling feet,
A field up-piled with slain,
With horse and rider blent ia death p
Upon the battle plain.
The dying and the dead lie low;
For them no more shall rise
The evening moon, nor midnightstare,
Nor daylight's soft surprise. tg
They wake no more to tenderest call,
Nor see again each home
Where waiting hearts shall throb and break
When this days tidings come.

Two soldiers lying as they fell
Upon the redeemed clay.
in daytime foes, at night at peace,
Breathing their lives away.
Brave hearts hadstirred each manly breast
Fate only made them foes;
And lying dying side by side,
A softer feeling rose.
Our time is short" one faint voice said
To-day we did our best"
On different sides: what matter now?
Tomorrow we're at rest,
Life lies behind: / might not care
For only my own sake,
But far away are other hearts
That this days work viii break.
Among New Hampshire's many hills
There pray for me tonight
A woman and q little girl.
With hair like golden light
And at the thought broke forth at last
The cry of anguish wild,
That would not longer be repressed-
4 20 God my wife-my child!
And, said the other dying man,
Across the Georgia plain,
There watch and wait for me loved ones
I'll never see again.
A little child, with dark bright eyes,
Each day waits at the door
The fathers step, the fathers kiss
That never greet Ter more.
To- day We sought each others lives,
Death levels all that now;
For soon before Gods mercy seat
e Together we shall bow,
Forgive each other while We may;
Life's but weary game:
And, right or wrong, the morrow 3 sun
viii find us dead the same.
The dying lips ths pardon breathe.
The dying hands entwine;
The last ray dies, and over all
The stars from heaven shine;
And the little girl with golden hair,
The one with dark eyes bright,
On HampshiFe's hill and GeOgia's plain,
Were fatherleSs that night.
