The Young Widow.

A census-taker, going his round
stopped at an elegant brick dwelling
house, the exact locality Of which is no
business of ours.
He was received by stiff, welldress-
ed lady, who could well be recognized
as a widow Of some years standing.
On learning the mission of her visitor,
the lady invited him to take a seat in
the hall Having arranged himself into
working position, he inquired for the
number Of persons in the family of the
lady
Eight, sir, replied the lady, 'inclu-
ding myself.
Very well-your age madam?
MY age, sir, replied the lady, with
piercing, dignitied look, 4 conceive
is none of your business what my age
might be; you are inquisitive, sir.
The law compels me madam, to take
the age Of every person in the ward; its
my duty to make the inquiry.
We'll, if the law compels you to ask, |
presume it compels me to answer |
am between thirty and forty.
4 presume that means thirty five
NO, sir, it means no such thing-I
am only thirty-three years Of age
Very well, madam, putting down
the figures, Just as you say. Now for the
ages of the children, commencing with
the youngest, if you please
Josephine, my youngest, is ten years
of age
'Josephine-pretty name, ten.
Minerva was twelve last week.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Cleopatra Elyira has just turned fif-
teen.

Angelina is eighteen, sir, just eigh-
teen.
'Angelina-favorite name-eighteen.
MY eldest and only married daughter,
sir, Anna Sophia, is..a little over twenty
five 2
twenty-five, did you say ?
Yes, sir
is there anything remarkable in her
being Of that age I?
We'll, no, | can't say that there is
but is it not remarkable that you should
be her mother ,chsn you rere only eight
years Of age
About that time the census-taker was
observed running out Of the house, why
we cannot say 1t was the last time he
pressed lady to give her exact age.

The Income Tax.

Commissioner Pleasanton writes 10
Supervisor butcher, of NewYork, as
follows:
In the letter addressed to you on the
Odd inst, you were instructed that in
making their annual income returns, tax
payers should not be required to include
the amount received as dividends, in
terest. or coupons from any of the cor
porations mentioned in Sections 100 and
122 of the Act of June 80, 1864, as
amended, except the interest allowed or
paid to depositors in savings banks or
savings institutions, even though no tax
had been withheld therefrom. You are
now instructed that the same principle
should be applied in assessing the in
come of officers and employees of the
United States, and also that of Senators,
Representatives, and Delegates in Con-
gress, from whose pay or salary a tax
of five per cent has been withheld
continuously since Dec. 81, 1869, and
that in making their income returns they
should not be required to include the
amounts received by them as pay OF
salary from the United States during the
last five months of 1870, even though no
tax has been withheld therefrom.
You are further advised that persons
whose gross income during the year 1870,
estimated in United States currency, did
not exceed $4,000, are not required to
make any income returns, nor need they
make any affidavits showing that their
gross income did not exceed the sum
above named.

A gentleman IN China writes an inter

Charles X Marshall This young gen
uemAn u |. native ChinAmAn, but Nas
hFuughi % this country in his childhood
left home on the sth, about 10 O'Clock
a IA, IN company With Charles and has
bride. We are not. however, on the
sane boat We have bcs.n tUo DAYS To-
gether, but / have not yei sem her fanr,
Il being Chinese custom for the bride 30
keep herself very Close and concealed
frum view. Charles was married on the
10Th Of November, IN Shanghai, 30 a
Christian Young lady Of the Episcopal
Church. They were married m the
Episcopal Church about candle light
The church Was crowded 30 OVERLOOKING.
The ladies were dressed in the richest
attire, beautifully embroidered. Their
head-dresses were filed with jewels, gold
and silver ornaments, and small. tinkling
bells hung around in great profusion.
The bride was brought into the church
in handsome sedan chair, covered with
ned cloth, and her face veiled with red,
30 that no one could see. She was then
led TO the altar by two old ladies, the
bridesmaids following, and the bride
groom meeting her at the altar. When
we reached the native brothers house,
where n bountiful supply Of good thing
we're awaiting us, the veil was lifted and
our friend Charles looked ms though he
was electrified, for he had Rerer seen her
face before. IL is the custom of the
Chinese that the bride shall not he al.
lowed to speak for three days, and all she
eats has to be put into her mouth by
the bridesmaids. She is not allowed "a
use her hands TO do any thing for three
days, and she is not allowed TO sleep du.
ring that time, except what she can gel
by leaning her head npon the table oil
the side OF the bed. But the worst and
stranRest part is TO come next. From
the first day of their marriage, day and
night, there is not a moments peace in
the brides chamber. All invited guests
are allowed to go in at any time, night oil
day, and make as much noise as they
like TO prevent either party from getting
any rest. Neither bride nor groom car
take any rest, for they are at the mercy
of those who are hidden to the feast.

A SON OF THE LATE President Tyler,
only 81 years old, is an uhlan in the
Twelfth Army Corps of Saxony, and
served throughout the Franco Prussian
war. He had been for five years min
ing student at Freiberg, but when the
clash of arms came he laid aside his
books and sought admission to the SER
vice. By an especial favor of the Min
lister of War this foreigner was permitted
to enter the ranks OF the King of Sax
ony. Being fine-looking, gallant
young man he made an excellent soldier,
and his record as son of an American
President was enough to cause every off
Ger and private to seek his companion
ship. During the latter part of the war,
young Tyler is said to have carried his
cavalry lance into several hot engage
ments.
