May number of this magazine is to hand,
and well sustans the proud title il bears
The Prince Of Musical Monthhes," for if
there is any one periodical adapted to suit
the wants of all lovers Of music, profes
sional or amateur, it IS certainly this
magazine.
The May number comes to us overflow
ing with choice new music. There are
four new songs, by Hays, Thomas, Danks,
and Eaton three piano pieces; and we
notice new feature in the shape OF six
pages of quartet music, which will prove a
valuable addition also, dozen or more
pages of biographical sketches AND re-
views of new music, that will be of inter
est to all musicians Being largely engag-
ed in the publication of sheet music, Mr..
Peters has always fresh stock from which
to make his selections, and seems nothing
10th to draw from his resources to any re-
auired extent to make the Monthly what it
should be. Besides the musical sketches
and reviews Of new m sic, each number
contains no less than thirty ful,sized pag-
es of new music by the best writers in the
country. When the music is furnished SO
cheap, what musician can afford TO be
without such publication Four dollars

ssA- Justice Mccarthy, editor of the
London Star, now in New York, writes a
letter to the Tribune to the effect that the
English people have accepted Mr. Summers $
speech as the most moderate utterance any
American could make, and naturally as
sumed that when Charles Sumner hoped
the question could yet be settled without
war, the vast mass of the American peo
pie must have determined to settle at once,
even, if needs be, at the cost Of war. ]
am not contending, he says, that this view
of the question is reasonable and just, but
am satisfied that this is the English view
Of the question England is just now con-
vinced that General Grants Government
means to put pistol to her head at once,
and then demand the settlement cf the
Alabama claims. | am sure you know
England too well to believe that she is like
ly to enter into any negotiations under such
circumstances. but 18th a little time and
thought Englishmen will begin to urder
stand, first, whas the United States really
claims next, their just grounds for claim
ing it. At present the conviction in Eng>
land is, the United States want nothing
but war with England, or England's utter
and ahject humiliation. This is a misunder-
standing which no one can help remove SO

Taxes on Sugar, Tea and Coffee.
From the Cincinnati Enouir er.

In 1868 there were 80, 500 600 pounds OF
tea imported into this country The duty
upon it was about thirty cents a pound,
which would be $4,000 900 In addition
there was tariff of twenty-five per cent in
more The total annual tea duty is SIS,
100000. The taxes upon tea are more
than equal to the cost of it in China, with
the expectation from there added. When
a person buys pouId of tea, half Of the
price goes to the merchant and half to the
government.
We imported last year $4,000, 900
pounds of coffee. The duty at five per
cent. amounted to $I2 900, 900. We also
imported about 200 900, 600 pounds of su
gar il. 1868 The duty was four cents a
pound. and amounted in the aggregate to
$4,000, ,000. Thus. upon tea, coffee and
sugar the people of the United States are
are taxed, through the ustom Hou e
alone, S35 100000. This is equal to near
ly $40, 100000 in grcenhacks. If the
government would abolish the National
Banks, call in their circulation, and issue
greenbacks in their stead, it would save
more than half of this oppressive tax.
Those wbo are in favor of cheaper tea,
coffee and sugar, should insist upon the
abolition Of National Banks and the sup,
planting of their notes by greenbacks.
Then with that saving of S35 ,000, 900, we
could admit tea. coffee and sugar free of
duty, with but little loss to the revenue.
If the temperance retormers would give
the people cheap tea and coffee, they would
do better thing than. making temper
ance speeches.
