hopelessly dull. The young scion to
whom we recently alluded as having SO,

steps of himself and bride to see the

his visit to that city by triumphantly
skedaddling from the National Hotel
without paying his bill. There is pro-

Bourbon yield him a living.

The Right of Pennsylvania 10 Tax
Foreign CorDorafiOuH

FOfeIXn corporations.
In the United States Supreme Court a
few days since, Mr.. Justice Nelson de-
livered an important opinion, deciding
that the State of Pennsylvania has no
right to impose tax upon the holders
of the bonds of the Northern Central
railway, a road incorporated to run
from Baltimore, Maryland, to Sunbury,
Pennsylvania. The Court holds that
under the charter the security pledged
for the payment of the bonds embraces
the entire line, and that the Maryland
portion of the road, with its franchises
and fixtures, in case of failure to pay
the principal or interest, would be liable
to sale in satisfaction of the debt.
Under these circumstances, it was con-
cluded that the enforcement of the tax
would permit Pennsylvania to legislate
upon property lying without her limits
"a state of affairs contrary to the most
elementary principles of law. 1t was
argued that if Pennsylvania could tax
the entire issue of bonds, upon the same
principle Maryland could tax them, and
thus double taxation would be effect
ed. 1t might happen that in the case
of consolidated road running through
several States the taxation of the prin-
cipal by each of them would exhaust
the interest due. The Northern Central
Railroad was, therefore, not permitted
to retain for payment to Pennsylvania
the tax of three mills per dollar of the
principal deducted from the semi-an-
nual coupons.

German Wives Wanted in Western

German Wives Wanted in Western
misB0uPi.
Some German citizens of Kansas City
have advertised great want of women
in that quarter. They say that almost
anything that is female and goes on two
legs goes off in that market. They even
have the coarse ungallantry to say that
even "hags" have found husbands there.
Here is their advertisement:
KANSAS CITY, March q, 1869.
To the Editor of the Westliche Post
Please advise the superfuous young
ladies of st. Louis of the great adVan-
tages which our city offers to them
when compared with st. Louis. They
can make from ten to fifteen dollars per
month, and two hundred young ladies
at least can find positions at that rate,
and besides one half of the number
veuld be married during the first
month to excellent young men. A
great many old hags have come here
lately and every one of them has
found husband. One of the subscrib-
ers to this letter is just now invited to
the wedding of young gentleman. The
bride is forty-five years old, and has a
bald head and no teeth, and left three
of her own babies in Germany. We
want young German girls, and every
one of the subscribers solemnly
promises to take one if they will only
come, and support her decently. Re-
spectfully.
