Another TAX GATIERER.-The gathering
of taxes seems profitable business when
well followed up. Michon volunteered to
collect the dog tax, and now comes into
existence another of his kind. A fellow, a
trife a;rsh, at the Old Basin called on the
wholesale dealers in charcoal and de-
manded an assessment of two cents on every
barrel of that commodity. Several men,
who do not read the papers, quietly sub
mitted to the imposition and parted with
their money. He gave them small tickets
for the inspected" charcoal, and was going
on thrivingiy, getting rich fast without
capital. One of the victims finally de-
mauded a receipt, when the tricksters
plans got the best Of him, and lie fed as if
the devil was after him. just then the vie
timizei men began to understand that they
had been sold and had no receipt The
rascal is not known.
PAY YOUR Doc TAX.-On and after the
first day of August the police will enforce
the deg ordinance in all its particulars.
Therefore owners of CANNES should begin
to consider the law as something really
serious. Go to the City Hall aud purchase
your check; only one dollar for the remain
der of this year.

FERRY ENTERpRIsE.-The superior en-
terprise of the Canal Street Ferry Company
is shown by the fact that their day boat
runs until nine o'clock at night instead OF
stopping at eight o'clock, as all the other
ferries do. This commendable enterprise
On the part of Messrs. kouns & Co. is a
great convenience to the people Of Algiers,
whose business leads them to cross regu-
larry, but who can not always reach the
ferry at the hour of eight 1t is not till
nine o'clock that the regular night ferry
commences to run at the Canal street ferry.
The fare on the night ferry is one dime,
being double that of the daily fare. 1t is
cheap enough, and all who cross are willing
to pay for the great convenience.
