SUMNER SENsArIoNs.-There aro GER
tain stock sensations which regularly
make their temperance every summer,
and 60 the rounds of the rural press,
finding their way sometimes into the
city papers. First among them is that
old rattlesnake with &c %rattles, which is
killed every year on Mount Tom, in
Massachusetts,. The period Of this an
nual sacrifice Is from the 10th to the
18th of August, aud we may expect to
see the frat account of it in the Spring
field Republican Of next week. Then
comes the little girl, four years old, who
mysteriously disappears with a saucer
Of milk OF such an hour every day, and
is at last discovered feeding m enor.
o black snake. There is nothing
remarkable in this black snakes coming
into the garden regularly to be fed, for
black snakes are fond Of milk the real
wonder is the lasting youth Of the little
girl, who has been but four years old
for the last quarter Of a century.
Next in order is the happy plow-
man who turns up q dozen or more
bright Spanish dollars, and upon fur.
Their examination finds the remains of
q keg which once contained from FIVE
thousand 10 ten thousand Of these
dollars, for there are the coins, the
most of them bearing the date of 1900.
This fortunate finding generally hap.
pens in tho far Southwest, at some dis.
lance from railways and f%requented
routes, and proportionately far from
verifcation. This year it occurred o
few days ago, at Webber's Falls, posi-.
bly, Webber's windfalls, in the Cherokee
Nation. The plowshare Of Mr.. Perry
suddenly struck something, supposed to
be a stump, but it was not, and was no.
thing more than a lump Of Spanish dol
lars, of the date of 1906, and amounting
in all, by careful count, to exactly five
thousand dollars. 1t is we'll known that
the Cherokee Indians, co or moro years
ago, were in the constant habit Of bury
ing Spanish dollars in kegs, barrels and
hogsheads the mystery is that the field
should have been plowed over many
years in succession without once strik-
ing this particular keg, which was care
fully planted only a few inches under
ground, and within reach Of the share ;
and agricultural people might inquire
why Mr.. Perry was blowing at all in the
last week in July. At the rate rural
sensations are coming in this season, a
city effort must be made by another dis.
covery of fifty thousand dollars worth
of diamonds in ono Of the sewers.-N.

INCOME TAx.-Besides the inequality
and Injustice of the working of the in
como lax law which renders it uniyer-
sally unpopular, the stronger point Of
its uncons,itutionality is urged rs con-
elusive why the law should be per.
mit,ed 10 expire by its own Limitation.
If the tax be unconstitutional, all argu-
ments rs to its expediency are of no
account. The Constitution, rs all
know, expressly provides that emo eapi-
tation or other direct tax shall be laid,
unless in proportion to the census or
enumeration hereinbefore directed to be
taken" Is not the burden Of proof to
the effect that an income tax is direct
tax? If it be not, what is q direct tax?
What is tho income tax but q species of
capitation (poll) tax? History informs
us that at the time of the adoption of the
Constitution the most unpopular and
hateful form Of direct tnSatiou the
world over was this same income tax.
Is not then the inference n strong one
that the trainers Of that instrument in.
tended to provide that no income, or
other direct tax, should be levied, un-
less "apportioned among the several
States which may be included in this
Union, according to their respective
numbcrs?" If this reasoning be cor
rect, Congress has no constitutional
right to impose an income tax, except
on the States, and then only in accord
ancc with the decennial census.
