POIy.Tax.

POII.Tax.
A petition was presented to the City
Council. on Monday night. praying for
the repeal Of the one dollar poll.iax and
the dog-tsx. They repealed the O'di-
nance, but Immediately enacted smother
ons. increasing the poll-tax to three
dollars. or requiring two days work on
the streets.
The reason assigned by the petitioners
for desiring the repeal Of the poll.tsx.
was this: That it was intended to reach
persons who paid no other tax. but that
those very msn avoided it. leaving the
burden upon those who were otherwise
taxed. This new Ordinance will operate

and execution, the amount cannot be
collected. and the City foots the costs.
As the State Constitution forbids i'm.

dodsing that provision by declaring i'm.

An AWFUL SToRY.-There was
an awful little girl VINO had an
awful way of saying lawful" to
everything. She lived in an awful
village, which was an awful dis
tance from every other awful
place. She went to an awful
school, where she had an awful
teacher, who gave her awful
lessons out Of awful books. Every
day she was so awful hungry that
she ate an awful amount offood, so
that she look awful healthy. Her
hat was awful small and her feet
were awful large. She went to an
awful church, and her minister
was an awful preacher. When
she climbed awful hills, and when
she got awful tired she sat down
under an awful tree TO rest herself.
In summer she found the weather
so awful hot, and in winter awful
cold, When it didn't rain, there
was an awful drought, and when
the awful drought was over, there
was an awful rain. So that this
awful girl was all the time in an

The influence Of Pretty Wo-
men in Washington

The Washington correspondent
of the Chicago Republican, Rad.
ical sheet, writes as follows:
But just as long as women are
weak and men are powerful, some
Of the evils of the department will
never be remedied. 1t is 50 much
more comfortable to ajaded man,
! ! worn out in the arduous duties as
head Of q bureau, to see a fresh,
young, pretty faced woman at an
adjoining desk, rather than one
with all the sweet juices of life
squeezed out of her; whether by
age or misfortune, it matters not
which. The first one is the oil of
the machinery ofevery day life; the
latter is the adhesive gum which
needs cleansing away. Women
who look with longing eyes to an
active life in the Departments at
Washington, had better consult
their mirrors first, unless Secretary
Boutwell, makes new laws to meet
individual cases. It is true, few
"crones" may be found in the base
ment of the building, but as you
ascend into the upper realms Of
the castle, new visions Of beauty
greet the eye until the spectator
is lost in dazzling dream of en-
chantment as glorious in its bewil-
derment as a Turkish harem. In
many cases these handsome young
women belong to Washington fami-
lies. They have good homes, with
the comforts of life, without pay
ing for them. This enables them to
spend their wages in the adorn-
ment Of their persons. These are
girls whose lives Mrs. Swisshelm
so bitterly deplored. These are
the women who practice the Gre
clan bend, and: who dot our ave-
nues of a brilliant afternoon as the
butterflies do the clover heath.
