OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,
Washington, November Ia, 1868. I
In answer, l have to say that while the return
called for by section 81 cannot be required from
any person who had but fifty gallons or less OF
distilled spirits in his possession on LIST instant 1t
is, nevertheless, important to the interests OF
such persons that their packages Of such spirits
should be marked and stamped "a prescribed In
that section, otherwise, the splits being without
either the tai paid stamp or the stamp for stock
on hand, would be in danger OF detention under
section Al. and perhaps OF seizure aad forfeiture
under the provisions Of sections 81, for the for
feture of all distilled spirits found after thirty
days in packages of more than five gallons, with
out having thereon each mark and stamp required
therefor by this act. Section 80 would, IN sucn
case, throw the burden of proof on the claimants,
and as probable cause for seizure could doubtless
in most cases be shown to have existed, the ex-
pense and trouble TO which the owner OF the
spirits would be subjected before he could re-
cover his property would generally exceed its
value.
II would be well to make this view of the mat
ter known TO those in your district whom 1t may
concern.

IL is stated that the Spanish minister Goni visit

of Spain will be promptly arrested.

BATCH OF FALLAcIKs.-Du Par, in his Re
cherehes sur les Americans, says that Montezuma
sacrificed 90 900 children to the idols in the tenn.
pies Of Mexico. In such assertions the improba-
bity and exsggerations are so selfevident that it
is needless to dwell upon them. Books tell Us
that the Duke of Alva put to death, by the hands
of the executioner, in the low countries, Is, 900
gentlemen, while the fact is. scarcely 1000 could
have been collected there.
Even IN the time of Titus Livius, there was so
much doubt as to the truth OF the legend of Ho-
ratii and Curatii, that he writes: One cannot
tell TO which Of the two contending people the
Horstii and Curatii belonged" Yet this cautious
historian related in another place that Hannibal
fed his soldiers on human flesh, to give them en-
ergy and courage. NJ. de Humboldt, you may re-
member, set himself TO disprove some OF the an.
ecdotes of Christopher Columbus; the fable OF
the egg he II said to have broken in order to make
II stand upright, and the anxiety amounting to
agony, among his crew, to whom he had faith
fully promised Q sight Of land.
In the history Of England, the Duke OF Clarence
was for four centuries believed to have been
drowned in butt of Maimsey, but the author Of
"The Historic Antiquities Of the Tower OF Lon
don" claims to have entirely exposed this as an
error.
According to the Abby Bartholemy, at the mem:
orable battle Of Thermopyle, Leonidas, instead
of resisting the Persisns with three hundred men,
commanded at least seven thousand men. The
learned Spon ridicules the pretended wit OF Diog.
enes snd explains IL in quite another way. Alfred
Maury endeavors TO convince as that Caesar never
said ana never would have said to the pilot, why
DO YOU fear! You have Caesar and his fortunes
on board"
When We reflect on the innumerabe errors
daily propagated by books. DR.. Deleplerre gets
alarmed at the strange confusion In which be fore
sees all literature may find itself a few centuries
hence. 1t is very possible that historical events
will be more dnicult Of proof than before the in
yention of printing. which may consequently have
served to augment disorder and perplexity rsthel
than to have assisted in the promotion OF trutf
and accuracy. -.--t
