n INCOME TAX.

The Income Tax law has It seems a
persistent foe in the new Commits
sioner, General P~leasantor, and, It Is
hoped, should Congress continue Its.
session for general Legislation . few
weeks, we may DO rid of the nuisance
of making another tax return. 1t Is
said he is preparing to urge on the
new Congress the measures he endeav-
ored to have adopted by the last one.
He is of the opinion that much more
revenue will be gained If the income
tax is repealed, and the expectation Of
whisky with the drawback permitted,
than under the present laws. He also
desires the enactment Of some new
regulations to secure additional reve-
nue. from the various taxes on tobacco.
In this connection we may here state
that until the law Is repealed all an
nual taxes are to be assessed IN the
month Of March each year, and assist
ant assessors are required to complete
their assessments aud place the same

Of the collector for collection on OF

those on incomes must be paid. 1t /;

EDITOR GOLD HILL NEws-DEAR
SrR: Crane and myself arrived at
Phoebe City on the 4th, and not finding
matters settled at the mill, we came
down to this old Mormon town to
spend a few days and see the country
and people. l call 1t a very rough
country for white folks, but plenty
good enough for those who have it
the Mormons, | mean. Talk about
homely women. whew! I can find
them here that can discount all my
previous experiences in that line.
Mud fences are nowhere, and a nice
hedge fence would be "a thing OF
beauty and a joy forever" In COM
parison. ..gH i.
There are some very fine lodges at
Phoebe, but they + quito narrow, and
there are not near the men needed in
them that used to work in and about
the Comstock. The rocks very rich
from 800 to $500 per ton. l think the
the supply Of laborers exceeds the de-
mand here now, and 1 would not adj
wise any Of my friends to come out
here unless they come with plenty OF
money and to prospect.

CoNGREss.-The Washington CORE
spondent of ForRey's Press says: ''The
large increase Of Democrats in the
House seems to have had a demoraliz-
ing effect upon the Republicans. Many
of them seem to be Of the opinion that
since the loss of the two-thirds vote
nothing can be passed except the DEM
ocrats shall first agree to 1t. They say
that it would be impossible to pass any
bill relating to the South; the Demo-
Gratis would fillibuster and keep the
House here until Summer. According
to this view Of the case, nothing can
be passed hereafter except such meas
ures s are acceptable to the Demo-
Gratis. Some OF the more staunch Re-
publicans fail to see this, inasmuch as
the Republicans are still believed to
have n fair majority in the House."

bishop Manning was read. This docu-

land Is "pride OF life." No nation
it was asserted, possessed such self

sular security, tradition of success and
exceptional prosperity were deluded
into the belief that these things would
last forever. The great increase of
luxury in domestic society was referred
to- and elaborate self-indulgence, it
was asserted, had invaded the higher
ranks of men, and excess in wine, by
which the mind and body became in-
famed and diseased, had become ha-
bitual. The extrayagant fashions that
prevailed in female dress were rebuked,
and It was stated that while men had
improved In this respect. the attire of
women had become more costly, os-
tentatious and singular. even TO

AIlcr.Fccdiug Meadow.

The question when and how we
can tax our meadows by cropping
without injury to succeeding crops,
possibly has failed Of receiving de-
served attention. The revolution
that has taken place in the minds and
practice of many farmers as to the
best time for cutting grass is very IA
vorablc TO our meadows, and at the
same time is productive Of a fine
growth Of atter-fccd-cithcr to be
fed by stock or moved as u second
crop. 1t may be observed that some
farmers who ovcrstock their farms
aud turn their COWS on the meadow
Immediately after getting their crop
OF, hoping to increase the dairy pro-
duct sufficient to balance the dam
aye, if any, to the meadows. In this
way the meadows are kept
gnaNch down To the very roots
of the grass, and but little or ne
chance tor it TO Iccupcraic, and moth
ing left to shield it from the cllcct'
of winter.
The practice Of some farmers il
different from the one just dcscrib
cd. They choose to keep the stock
or the meadows much later in The
season let the second crop of grass
grow till il is we'll gro wn, and if pas
turcd ut all, allow but II portion of i,
to be eaten of, leaving enough tc
make a good protection for winter,
and mulch to assist an %carly.auart il
the spring, Some choose TO NOV
the harvest growth. This may be
admissible if it is done in season fol
Il third crop to start with the aid OF q
good t~op-dressing of manure, aitcl
the removal of the second crop, ant
then not allow cropping in the sPrins
for even aday.
Some, though but few, prefer to lc
the second crop remain on TN
ground. This may do for meadow
that have been starved, or proJuc
light crops, but for well fed mead
ows, there would be danger Of q to-
heavy mulch, and too good protcc
ton for mice.
