The news from France shows that the
Prussians are gradually, but surely in
vesting the city of Paris, and have al
ready succeeded in cutting off all COM
munication except through their lines
There have been some skirmishes resulting
sometimes in favor of the French, but
generally in favor of the Prussians. The
siege of Metz and Strasbourg is still
maintained. Attempts are still being
made to negotiate peace butt the pres
ent unsettled condition of the French
government, the chances are against the
negotiations.
The Italians have entered Rome, the
Pope having retired, thus ending his
temporal power. The intention is to make
that city the Capital of united Italy, and
vote of the people is soon to be taken
to decide upon moving the Seat of Gov
ernment from Florence to Rome.

JUDGE STRONG has rendered decis-
ion that the Government Tax on divi-
dends of the Reading Railroad, were
illegally collected, taking the ground that
Congress at the late session repealed that
tax If this decision is not reversed by
the Supreme Court, the effect will be to
make the Government liable for all money
collected from such source this year,which
amounts to probably over six millions of
dollars. OF course this decision s.'not
relished by the Internal Revenue depart
ment at Washington, and they have con-
sequently appealed to higher Court.
1t will be remembered that Congress,
at its late session, passed an amended tax
bill, section seventeen of which construed
the Internal Revenue act of 1864 to ex-
tend the collection of the tax on these
items of income to and for the year 1870,
but also provided that they should cease
on the 1st of August, 1870. There had al
ready been much controversy between the
Revenue Bureau and the taxpayers as
to the validity of these taxes, and Con-
gress, instead of re-imposing the Income
Tax, passed an act constituting former
laws on the subject.
Mr.. Justice Strong, in differing from
Congress in its construction of the law,
contends that the Interpretation of statutes
is Judicial rather than Legislative
function, and construes the law different.

has been shown on various occasions
when visitors have been present. A lit
tie explanation will enable the reader to
be- convinced.
Coin is tampered with generally by
filling, for no counterfeiter would be so
foolish as to issue a coin entirely of base
metal The process of filing is one re-
quiring great skill and those who resort
to it have brought it to such perfection
that they have been, in some instances,
obliged to mark the pieces so filed to
prevent being subsequently deceived
themselves.
They first split the coin with very
fine saw Then the inside of the two
halves is carefully dug out, and the cavi-
ty is filed with material which is the
exact weight of the distracted gold.
The two halves are then placed together
and subjected to heat and strong pres
sure which completely unites them. The
milling on the edge Of the coin must then
be retouched, and this is done with tool
which betrays the manipulation and as
sists the practiced judge to detect the
fact that the piece has been tampered with
If it has recently been done. Some
times these coins are put into circulation
or at least were when gold was a cir
culating medium by abrasion with
other coins after little while the milling
becomes smooth and closely resembles
a perfect piece.
Any one who has had opportunities
for the examination of any considerable
amount of gold coin must have observed
that they arc of various colors, from {
brassy hue to a copper color. This is not
true with the coins of other countries
which are uniform and is accounted for
by the fact that when gold first poured
into the mints from California it came
in large quantities, and faster than the
machinery ofthe mints could accommo
date. Consequently the silver was suf
fered to remain in larger proportion thai
the standard regulation exacted. The
early California coinage is lighter in col
or than any of the productions of the
eastern mints, but is now of a uniform
standard.
The coin which is received at the Banl
of England is examined by machinery
The pieces are placed in a hopper and thu
machine set in motion. The light coin
are thrown out, but those of exact weigh
are passed. No care is taken to detec
filed pieces, and therefore coin which
has been tampered with by filing ma,
pass through the machine, so long as j
is the exact weight, and not be discov
cred until some person accidentally bring
the fraud to light.

Ba5~ On the afternoon of Thursday
last, young man named Thorn while
standing in front Of the New York Times
office observed young man leap hurried
ly from a third avenue Car, in company
with another. Scarcely had they reach
ed the sidewalk ere the car was stopped
and an old lady alighted, screaming that
she had lost two thousand dollars.
Mr.. Thorn, thinking that one of these
men had stolen the money, seized George
Hilton, young fellow 20 years old, who
was one of them, and had just entered
the Times publishing house.
Finding that his companion, consider
ing discretion the better part of valor,
had deserted him in this his hour of need,
Hilton surrendered, and hoping to pur-
chase his liberty by so doing, handed
back 1924 in cash, and bonds worth in
all 81 900 to the old lady.

the profit 20 the government arising from
the obstruction of stamps in process of

for the engraving and printing of legal

the score of economy it would be better
for the government to adhere to the frac-

TIM VARIOUS LEAKS IN ruE FARMING BUSINESS.
w. W. WALnRrDGE Had man arrived to
perfection in agriculture it would be useless
for US to discuss this subject, for in that case
there would be no leaks to be stopped But
as it is, we may prodtably spend an evening
in looking up these leaks and deyising means
to do away with them From the small, un-
necessary losses in the farming business, there
might be at least enough saved to pay the
taxes. From the almost numberless list of
these losses, will mention few. In the
construction aud care Of stables, the farmer
meets with a constant loss, which might be
easily remedied. How, think you, would a
man feel if stuffed with food and then put
nto a cold, wet bed to spend the night ?
This is the manner in which very many Of
our animals are treated, and they suffer in
the same way that men would, similarly
treated. If discomfort Of farm stock detraets
from the profits, there is a leak which, by
giving animals a good, warm, dry place to lie
IN would be stopped. Another very common
leak Is the loss of fertilizers about our house.
barns priyies, etc. The majority Of us might
save enough from this to manure an acre Of
land sufficiently well to produce sixty bushels
Of corn each year Now it is allowed to
waste, and poison the air we breathe besides.
Another leak is in the greater amount Of fuel
required to warm our dwellings, on account
of the cold air coming through broken win.
dows and loose thresholds, about the Joint. of
our doors, and the like. We must stop thi.
pretty soon, for wood is becoming scarcer
every year. A little attention to these thing.
as we go along will make US wiser and hap.
pier, while the example will benefit those
about US.
RuFus NuruSo am pleased to hear the
remarks on the comfort of farm stock. Go
about town and notice the number of cows
in yards with manure clingng in large lump,
to their tanks; lock into the stables and sec
them lie in filth and dirty water, aud when
they get up see them SILVER Do you sup
pose these COWS can thnye2 No, not if fed
with the best food in the world. There are
but few hangers but what more or less hay
is wasted from them, and this leak may be
stopped by repairing them, and tons of hay
saved Sending stock over snow-paths dis.
lance to drink, is a loss, not only in exposure
TO weather, but in danger of being pushed off
the path and injured. ldling away our time,
when we might be reading books and papers
