A Nsw sASrrARIUM FOR AIKEN.-Dr. P. G.
Rockwell, physician Of waterbury, Conn.,, and
former Mayor Of that place, has recently visited
Aiken, s. G., In company with Mr.. B. P. Chasfeld,
8 master builder, to make arrangements fol
building sanitarium for inValids, under char
ter granted by the Legislature. The plan under
consideration Is large main building, surround
ed by thirty handsome cottages, each divided into
sections. The topography OF Aiken, where there
are not more than two or three houses on block
renders the proposed plan quite feasible. Dr.
Rockwell has attained considerable eminence In
his profession, and has alwsys been successful In
his treatment Of pulmonary complaints.

The ACADEMY OF MUsIc-The bad weather
prevented large attendance OF ladies at the
Academy of Music last night, but "Blow fol
Blow" was played by the excellent company
with unnagging spirit. Miss Alexander, as Lady
Linden, was graceful In manner and pointed In
expression. This lady improves every day, and
gives evidence occasionally OF dramatic vigoi
too frequently lacking when she first trod the
boards. Mr.. O'Neil, usually tender lover, came
out last night as ''The Villain" John Drummond
and seemed even more at home as the stage ras
cal than as the comedy gallant. Last, but moi
least, Miss Eldridge acted with her customary
dashing effect.
Tonight we have ''The Streets Of New York, u
which is "full OF vivid fun and equal to visit te
the great CITY," Among the scenes there Is
Wall street banking house, view Of Union Square
the Washington statue, snow storm, the Five
Points, and house on fire.
This is one OF best sensational plays Of the pc
Rod, and should draw humping house.

THE A1cLECTIC.-The January number of this
magazine is filled with interesting matter, select
ed from the most highly esteemed English period
icals. The editor says:
With the present number. the Eclectic enters
upon q new volume and hew year, and while
the editor feels that the best pledge he can give
for the future is reference to the past, he also
feels justified In expressing his belief that the
coming volumes will be more valuable, more In:
teresting, and more adequately representative OF
the best aspects OF contemporary European
thought than any In the long series OF the past.
English periodical literature Is every year becom-
ing more comprehensive and more cosmopolitan
in its character-it Is gradually drawing to its
ranks the best intellect OF the nation-and with
this vast field, and those OF France and Germany,
the Electic has the current literatures OF three
countries from which to make its selections.
Our table Of contents his month must speak Tor
itself, as we have space only to call attention to
the leading article on the Early History OF Man.
This Is q rare paper, which has attracted much
attention In England, and discusses very lucidly
one Of the most important problems that at the
present time are occupying the attention OF scien-
tifc men.

CORPORATIONS AND STATE TAxATI0N.-The
Baltimore Gazette gives the following report OF
the decision OF the Supreme Court OF the United
States upon the power Of States to tax corpora
tions previously exempted from State taxation.
The decision appears to wholly cover the case Of
the South Carolina Railroad Company. and to
determine that its property cannot be taxed BY
the State:
In the Supreme Court to-day, Nos. 2os and 2et,
the Washington University, plalntin IN error, vs..
Rouse, and Home Of the Friendless vs. same, In
error to the Supreme Court OF Missouri. The
plaintiffs In error are public institutions Oh tne
City OF St. Louis, and by the acts OF incorpora.
tion theI,egislature exempted them from STATE
taxation. This was In 1858, put the Constitution
of the State adopted in 1885, authorizes the Leg
islature to impose taxes upon sucn INSTITUTIONS,
and the exemption was accordingly repealed.
and the collector of the city, the defendant In
error proceeded to levy the same tax upon tnem
as upon other property.
An Injunction was obtained oy Tue corpolatelon e'
in the Circuit Court for the county, bat the Su
perior Court OF the State reversed the Judgment
OF the Circuit Court, holding that the provisions
OF their charters as to exemption did not constl-
tute contract between the state and the cor
porations which subsequent Legislatures were
bound to respect. Tie opinion OF this court was
now delivered by Mr.. Justice Davis, holding sub
stantislly that as the Constitution OF the State
existing at the date Of che acts OF incerpora-
tjon contained no restrictions upon the Legs-
isture in respect OF such exemptions, the acts
were valid, and the consideration involved In the
Establishing OF the institutions created contract
between the State and the parties undertaking II,
in respect Of the franchises granted, which was
beyond the reach OF the Legislature 70
repeal or OF the people ,ns,.,1sdT to fsspsdate,
Consideration beyond the public objects lot
which these corporations were created being ne.
nessary IS the basis Of contract. This view u If
said. is sustained BY the settled law. !adgmea,
was reversed and causes remanded. Mr. Justice
Miller on behalf Of the Chief Justice, Mr.. Justice
Field ana himself, read dissenting opinion,
holding that 1t was beyond the power 81 any Leg,
islature to forever exempt from taxation, ano
that to assert the contrary was to hold that tels
agent OF the people may bargain away ana ae
sfroy the very interests 1t was elected to protect
lit be conceded that the Legislature mas tne
power to exempt from taxation forever one clas, y
OF property, It follows that it may exempt sll
property and thus deprive the State OF the faeans
for the support OF Ats government, or II may ma!
throw She whole burden upon those who are 700
poor, or too honest, TO purchase immunity. IL Il
tsst the rule laid down In the opinion OF the
court must, In the end, be receded from.

the pipsey, is perfect. On Tuesday, "Caste" was
brought out, and displayed the capacity OF the
company to great advantage. Miss Eldridge was
bright, sparkling and painstaking, and Miss Alex

broken by bursts OF emotion, which charmed the
