IHE lax BILL.-Somebody proposes
the following new amendments to the
tax bill:
For kissing pretty girl. one dollar.
For kissing homely one, two dollars
bly, for the mans folly.
For ladies kissing one another, two
dollars. The tax is placed at this rate in
order to break up the custom altogether,
it being regarded by our Nj. C.'s as
piece of inexcusable alb surdity.
For every Irritation, ten cents
Every young man who has more than
one girl is taxed five dollars.
For courting in the kitchen, twenty
five cents.
Courting in the parlor, one dollar.
Counting in romantic place, five dol
lars, and fifty cents thereafter.
Seeing q lady home from church,
twenty-five cents.
Going from church without accompa-
nying a lady, five dollars.

dollar.

hoop.
Old bachelors over thirty are taxed ten
dollars, and banished to Utah.
Each pretty lady is to be taxed from
twenty-five cents to twenty-five dollars;
she is to fix the estimate of her own
beauty. It IS thought very large
amount is to be realized from this pro-
vision.
Each boy baby, fifty cents.
Each girl baby, ten cents.
Families having more than eight ba-
bies are not to be taxed; and for twins o
premium Of forty dollars will be paid out
OF the funds accriing from tax on old

SOUTHERN ARTISTS From a series of
articles published in the New York Sun
day Times, we copy the following, rela-
tive to q former temporary resident of
Columbia:
'John Beaufain Irving is an artist Of
deservedly high reputation, for he
unites ambition with talent, and hos
given to the world some rare specimens
Of fine painting. A native of Charleston,
South Carolina, he was born in 1925,
and educated in his native State. He is
son of DR.. Irving, a gentleman we'll
known in literary circles. Devoting
himself to art, he commenced his studies
in New York, and in 1853 went to Eu-
rope and located at Dusseldorf, where he
became q pupil of Emanuel Leipsic.
After remaining in Europe several years,
in which time he visited the principal
capitals of the continent, he returned to
his home in the South just before the
breaking out of the civil war. Serving
his native State during the struggle, he
discovered when the war was ended that
his home was ruined and nearly al of
his property lost, SO he devoted himself
to his profession, and, coming to New
York, established himself in this city.
His style of painting is Meisonian, and
among his productions may be men
toned 'The Rivals and 'The Wine
Tasters.' Mr.. Irving is also on eminent
portrait painter. OF reserved DISPOSE
ton, he has polished, pleasant manners,
and is fayorite with his confyeres as we'll
as in society"

Allegheny Cattle Market.
ALLKGHENY, March "a.

"a
CATTLE-There was a diminished
number of cattle on sale Monday, COM
pared with last week, only six hun
dred head, and the difference in quality
was still greater. The market, in con-
sequence OF the limited supply, was
very stiff one, and holders experienced
no difficu Ity in realizing all their cattle
were worth, though we do not believe
that the average price was as high as
that of last week, which was owing to
the great difference in the stock. Last
week there was an unusually large
number of good cattle, while this week
the number of good cattle was unusu-
allV small, so that when we take the
quality OF the stock into consideration,
prices were fully up, perhaps, shade
higher, than those OF last week. Prices
ranged from 9a9c for prime to choice
smooth fat steers, and 7a71zc for fair to
medium smooth fat steers. Stock steers
may be quoted at 5a6c, as to quality.
SHEEP-The supply of sneep was
again small this week, being less than
500 head, and, as the case for some Time
past, the demand was by no means
active. There were several small lois
of fancy sheep, but these OF course were
held at fancy prices, including one
l35al4O, which was held at 1Oc, gross
weight, with SO bid. We can also re-
port a sale of very common stockers at
81 25 per head.
HoGs-The hog market has undergone
no important change since last week:
We can report sales In retail way at
11a13c, gross, for fair to choice averages;
mainly, however, at 111<a137zc. Inc
demand, however, is light, as butchers
do not care about buying at the prices,
alleging that there ls no profit In pork,
and but little in anything else:

THURSDAY, March IS, 1869.
BEEF CATTLE-The offerings at the

OF the receipts I'll head were taken by
Baltimore butchers, 80 by Washington
and Annapolis butchers, so sold to
spectators for other markets, and the
blance were reshipped to the East
without being offered here. Prices to-
day ranged as follows: Old COWS and
scaIawags at 81 50a5 so; ordinary thin
steers, oxen and COWS at IS 50a6 so;

SHEEP.-The receipts during the past
week have been fair, but chiefly OF in
ferior stock, for which there is only a
limited inquiry, whilst good and prime
Sheep are in demand. Prices to-day
ranged as follows: Fair to good Sheep
at 6a7 cts, and good to prime at 7aSA

A STRANGE FREAK OF MAN OF
GES1Us.-A few years ago Laurence
Oliphant, who went to England as the
Secretary of the Japanese mission,
made deep impression on the fashiona-
bIe and political world by his brilliant
talents. He was comparatively un-
known, but in a few months took all
hearts by storm. He obtained seat in
Parliament, moved in the highest circles
of society and was the universal favo-
rite of the world of fashion. He was
once seen sauntering into the Travel
lers' Club with two men leaning on his
arms-one His Royal HiGhness the
Prince of Wales. the other His Majesty
the King of Denmark! Such a future as
that which lay before this handsome,
clever, young diplomast says an
English paper, any man might have
envied. Suddenly, however, Laurence
Oliphant was missed from his place in
club, and "House," and
opera Where he had gone none could
tell. Even his constituents at Stirling
were unab Q to get any accurate infor-
nation concerning him, and as he mace
no appearance ut the recent election
another man was chosen in his place.
He has at last been discovered, noWeV-
er, in a semi-religious, semi l'soclallstlc
community at BroctOn, on the oorders
OF Lake Erie, where the once ldolIZeo
star of Belgravia now follows the pIo"
and wears the homespun.
