INTERNAL REVENUE RETURNS II
0RNsBY COUNTY.

The text Of an item which appeared
in our issue of the 9th inst. is calculated
to convey the impression that the In
ternal Revenue Returns for this county,
for the past year are less than previous
returns in fact we wrote the statement
alluded to while under that erroneous
impression. By conference with Mr.. J..
A. Burlingame, the Assistant Assessor
for this part of the District of Nevada,
We learn that the fact is that the yearly
return for 1869 in this county is con-
siderably in excess Of any similar return
for several years, the books showing that
the sum of $9,257 "a is returned for
1869 as against $751; for 1868. We
also are informed that the monthly re-
turns now being rendered will place the
amount At An aggregate appro1ima,ing
Si3, 900. This is . large amount of
money to be taken from our rather limit.
ed resident capital, and We trust that
Congress will see ft to so amend the
revenue laws As to relieve US of similar
exactions in the future. One gratifying
fact, however, is gathered from Mr.. Bur-
lingams's statements. He informs us
that while every other county in the
State has shown q falling off from the
aggregate of precious revenue returns,
Ormsoy county shows an increase in
that regard. This indicates what has
seemed apparent for some months past
that business is in . much more
condition at present than it has
been since 1866. Old residents and new
ones may rest assured that Carson City
is not only one of the most agreeable
places of residence in the State but that
its business status and prospects are of
= very encouraging nature.

How TO Eursa APEw Win Errrcr.-

How TO EHrsR APEw WITH EFFEcr.-
Il 10 not every woman who knows her
"rights in the church, and has the
will to enforce them gracefully. We
have seen with regret, in some of our
crowded churches, that the men-boors
that they are by nature-refuse to bulge
an inch when Mrs. Show comes grandly
up the aisle and expects to make an I'M
posing entree to her seat. These Doors
just crowded along in their pew into as
close quarters as possible, and never
marched out and saluted the female de-
voice, notwithstanding her bonnet cost
sixty dollars, and der dress two hun
dred. The Society for the Prevention of
Mems Comfort have adopted code of
rules to govern the womeu's entrance to
a pew: Let the lady advance one pace
hey ond the door of the pew she wishes
to enter, halt, about face, and salute.
The pew must then be vacated by such
gentlemen as are in it, by flank move
ment. The squad should rise simultane-
ously when the lady presents herself,
and face by the right flank, then deploy
into the aisle, the head men facing the
lady, and the rest walking TO his right
and rear, the direction of his halt being
changed by a right coun,ermarch, and
forming into line again up and down
the aisle, still faced by the right flank.
The lady, when the coast is clear, COM
pletes her salute, and advances to her
position in the pew. The gentlemen
break off by files from the rear, and re-
sumo their places. Great care should
be taken, of course, by other parties
not to enter the aisle when this evolu |
ton is in progress until it is completed.
Of course such churches as those of
DR. Chaplin, DR.. Bellows. and
Cuyler, where even the aisles are filled
up with reversible chairs, are to be se-
avoided by the lady; for in
such churches, alas, the Doors are
ioubly boors-they don't care button
for style and all that.
