BOND TAXING.

to kick against the unjust exemption of gov
eminent bonds, and Judge Knowlton con-
tinues to glory in her apunk He publishes
a letter in the Prog Age Of last week argu-

wrong. BY way Of illustration, the Judge
cites the following case.

BELFAST CITY BONDS As AN INVESTMENT
seeing the advantages of putting their money
into our city securities We have lust learn
ed of a farmer, who investigates the value of
different forms Of investment, and who has
sold $4,000 worth of government bonds and
bought the bonds of the city of Belfast. He
sold at 4 large premium and bought the city
bonds at ninety cents on n dollar. He escapes
the special tax thereby. Also, he holds that
reduction of the present high rate of interest
on the debt, and that the national bonds will
be replaced by others bearing not over five
per cent. If specie payment shall be resum-
ed at an early day, as is claimed, that fact
will enhance the value of the city bonds to
holders They will draw six percent. in specie,
if it be made the sole lawful currency, and
draw it for thirty years without the POSSIBLE
ity Of reduction. These facts will have their
influence on ar-Sceing men.
THACKERAY's NOVELS. Attention is called
to the announcement Of Fields, Osgood &
Co.'S new edition Of Thackerays popular nov
els, at the very low price of 81 % each. For
volumes so handsome, they are marvels of
cheapness And when the absorbing inter
est of these productions is considered, as well
as the insight into the lights and shadows of
English life, its photographs of the aristoc-
racy, and its queer hangers on who live by
their wits-thcre is no comparison to be made
between such literature and the trashy stuff
that is issued even by publishing houses
claiming to exercise fastidious taste. Vanity
Fair and Becky Sharpe will endure in public
favor as long as Nicholas Nickleby and Mrs
Squeers.
