Hosc Poor Boys Reach the Top
Round.

Round.
From the n Y. Commercial AdvertiseEl
There are II ,9l9 names who pay an income
tax in this city. Sixty.seven persons who
pay tax on incomes of $4,000 or over.
Most of these solid gentlemen are self made
men, who have come up from the lowest
round of the ladder. The man who leads
the list. A. T. Stewart, everybody knows b
an Irish emigrant, who commenced life with
capital less than twenty-five cents; In.
deed, with few exceptions, most Of the par.
ties in thelst were as well off ~ Mr. Stewart.
Take Henry Keep; he boasts that he grad.
usted from the poor house Of Jefferson
county. J. Gould drove q herd of cattle
from Delhi, Delaware county, when lad, for
fifty cents day. in order to get money
enough to reach the Hudson river. David
Groesbcck, over thirty years ago. used to
mend old shoes for his brother. who was =
respectable shoemaker in Albany. We all
know the history of J. Gordon Bennett and
Robert Bonner, poor boys full of talent and
industry. Rufus Hatch, when youngster,
had an ambition to hold the reins of . ped.
dler's wagon. Z. d. Morgan commenced
life with quarter measure of molasscs. 1t
is scarce dozen years since Henry Clews
was errand boy in one of the banking houses
down town. The brothers Seligman started
out in life with a peddler's pack. David
Downt, in his younger days, retailed pork
by the half pound and molasscs by the gill.
II. T. Hembold was first cabin boy on the
sloop Mary Jane, that navigated the Della
ware river. We might 60 on through the
list, and show that nearly every one of these
solid men were the architects of their own
fortunes. Young men. who are struggling
for place and position, should remember that
the individuals in the list above had to bat
tic for life just as hard Is they are doing.

TtcO Ladies FY6ht a Duet.

From the Paris Monitcur]
1.-TWO ladies of tho world, who pass the
winter ut the watering places on the shores
of the Mediterranean, were scaling, at six
o'clock on the morning of the 10th of May,
the gorges of the Alps undulating toward
tho sea at few miles distant from Vintim-
igha. Upon reaching the summit of the
hill, on which are to he seen the ruins Of
the Roman castle, they stopped two peasant
women and induced them, by means of a
sum of money, to serve them rs witnesses In
a very important operation, which they said
they were about to execute. The two ladies
next measured the ground. One of them
placed herself with her back against the
ruins of the castle of Appius, and the other
placed herself before her-at distance Of
20 steps. Each of them then drew pistol
from under the cloaks which they wore.
At the sight Of these weapons the peasant
women uttered piercing cries, and advanced
with upiiftcd arms to prevent the Amazons
from firing on each other. But two shots
were discharged at the same moment. The
poor peasant women fell down, while the
ladies burst into loud laughter upon seeing
their witnesses on the ground piteously beg.
ging them not to kill them. The ladies then
reloaded the pistols and took position in
front of each other at distance of fifteen
steps. They were about to fire again, when
third witness emerged from behind the
GA IL A.
report of the pistols, he Ind fastened to the
spot from the neighboring parsonage. He
urged the two rivals to make up their quar-
rel, and succeeded in reconciling them.
They then accompanied him to the neigh
boring village church, where they confessed
and received absolution. A love affair was
ut the bottom of the strange duel"

Railway Taxation.

Chief Justice Dixon. of the Supreme
Court of Wisconsin, has recently deliy~
cred a very important opinion upon the
right to levy taxes in aid Of railways
The county of Fond du Lac voted to give
the Sheboygan Railroad Company GER
tain county bonds to aid in the construc-
ton of railway from Sheboygan to
Fond du Lac A majority Of the court
concurred. Associate Justice Payne alone
dissenting
The position taken by the court is this:
If cities, towns and counties subscribe
for stock in roads, and a tax is levied to
pay for such stock. the tax may be sus-
tanned provided the road is situated in,
or passing through, the limits of the mu,
nic1paIity taxed and thus promotes gem
eral prosperity. These two things must
occur 10 sustain the tax, and the fact
that the road runs through the municipal
limits and is a public benefit is otenough.
The opinion of Judge PAYNE IS that the
construction of railroad, although cars
ried on through the agency Of private
railroad corporation, is nevertheless so
far work Of public character as to sus-
tain the exercise Of those powers, which
1t is admitted can be exercised only for
public purposes.
He says he fails to see substantial DIFF
ference between Milwaukee taxing itself
100000 or any other sum. TO build a
harbor, and the county Of Fond du Lac
taxing itself as much to build a railroad.
The object is the same IN each case, 10
open a better communication with the
markets of the world, and furnish better
facilities fo~ trade and travel The re-
suit is the same in each case. that IS to
accomplish those very objects which the
/ corporation bad IN view. There Is il
! each ease the like absence of any other
benefit or profit 10 the municipality
