4 BEAUrmrL INCIDENT. a gentle
man relates that many years ago he was
on visit to the Isle of Man, AID dur
ing his walk he strolledinto the church-
yard where repose the bodies OF many
faithful ann humble Christians, Near
a grave in II corner of the churchyard
he noticed lady with little girl (thc
latter about twelve years of a9e) to
whom she was relating the story OF the
dairymaid's daughter whose remains
lay beneath their feet. As the lady
proceeded in the narrative he observed
the girl lift up her eyes filed with tears
and heard her say that she would try
and be as good as the dairyman's
daughter had been. After planting Il
beautiful lilly on the grave they walk
ed slowly away. The gentleman, upon
making inquiry, found that the girl
was her daughter. The latter is now
the Queen of England.

The Van Buren press., 1868-09-04

During the late unpleasantness"
there was cool, unquenchable sort of a
Yankee. named Gund, who ran a stage in
Western Virginia over route much inies-
ted by bush-whackefs. Wefrequently told
Gum that he would some day get sma shed
up and gobbled, and he had better give up
the job, but to no purpose, for he kept on
driving stage and pocketing groenbacks.
So three Of us concluded we would give
him good scare tha. be would accept as a
warning. In coming from his stables late
at night, he always took q short cut across
an old burying ground. To this point we
repaired. One Of our number, wrapped in
a sheet, lay down stark and stiff on one of
the newly made graves, while the others
lodged behind tombstoncs, and impatient
ly awaited Gums arrival. Soon he came
along, whistling and swinging a pair Of
heavy brides, when all at once he was
confronted by the counterfeit specter There
he stood for a few moments with his arms
akimbo, and coolly eyed the object from
head to foot, then raising his brides began
TO give it tremendous thrashing, bawling
out at the same time, "Consarn your old
picter what are. you dom out here this
time Of night? Get into your hole !" We
concluded to let Gum alone after that.

While Dutchman was passing through

him and said, "Shon, you treat to the
cider | will learn you trick" Shon
agreed. lank then placed his hand against
fence and told him to strike it as hard as
he could. Shon, not thinking any harm
could bofall him byso doing struck black
smiths blow. bnt instead of hitting Yank's
hand, the latter, jerking it away, poor
Shon struck the fence board, knocking it
off. "Mein Gott in Himmel!' cried Shon,
"what you makes foolish? | knocks mine
hand off clean up de elbow! Oh, socker
blitz mine poor frau, what will she say p
Poor Shon was bound to have revenge !;
so, one day as he was passing through a
field, he esped a man. Going up to him,
he said "Mynheer, show you one little
trick for nodding" AS there was no fence
OF tree near Shon put his hand against his
mouth and said "Strike yust so hard as
you can Mynhecr struck. and Shon
pulled away his hand and received the blow
on his mouth, and was knocked down.

Aoato AaAV7'
The carpet-bag Legislature passed an
act changing IN toto the system Of assess
mcnt and collection Of taxes There are
some good points in the law, as there
must be in almost any general revenue
| system, but in the main IL is intended rs
the groundwork for the main plan for
the robbery, ruin and bcggary of the
| rightinl white citizens Of Arkansas. We
wish our paper was broad enough to en-
able rs 10 hay il before the public, hut its
extreme lcagth is so great that'w cannot
do SO. We shall comment from time To
time ON such points rs are ofthe greatest
importance 10 the public. \ more vii
linous scheme never rotlcd to ripcncSs
IN the brains of any collection of greater
>coundrels than those who engineered il
| through the Legislature. The stupid
assess who voted for the bin had not the
sense TO understand the plans of their
m0Hip"lotorS. These are well known.
and If they shall shortly find their rcspcc-
tive hides hung on poles, they may thank
their own rascally ingenuity for it.
by sec. !, all property, whether real
or personal, and all moneys, credits and
investments, and every tangible thing.
(includmg trces,) being the subject of
ownership, whether animate or mani
mate is made subject to taxation.
The rate of taxation for the year 1868.
is about FIVE TIMES GREATER than ever be-
fore. The following are the rates fixed
by this infamous law for this wear:
For ordinary purposes, three fourths
of one per cent
For schools, three-tenths of one per
cent
For MILITIA, one-eighth ofona per cent.
For the expenses ofthe late chain gang.
known as the convention one fourth
of one per cent. ~ tta
The county tax although limited to
one and 0He-hdD one per ceakG) for or
binary purposes, is really without limit,
because the law provides that ,rAea
county ores q deJt, it may also levy tax
10 pay the interest on that debt, or to. pay
the WHOLE OF sUCu DEBT. As there is
scarcely county in the State which is
not heavily indebted, this act gives to
each county court the power, if they
choose to exercise it, land composed as
they are in the main, under Claytons APP
pointmcnt, of thieves, what one will fore
go the opportunity y of selling ont the
county without delay. To shun the cf
feet OF this enactment, here, in the city of
Little Rock, if the comfy should not
make any attempt to pay any portion of
the principal or interest of its floating
county debt, the aggregate amount of the
State, county aud city taxes will be about
five per cent on its true value. Taking
the criterion furnished by our own preci-
Gus board of common scoundrels,n as
The measure of assessment, the property
of the county will be valued at not less
than twice its value, which will make the
fcat tax about TEN PER CENT. "
We have not done with the subject. We
are only at the THRESHOLD Gazette
