LINDsLEY INsTITUTE.-By referring
to the advertisement in another column
it will be seen that this popular institu-
ton is to be opened under the auspices
of Mr.. C. II. Collier, at one time con-
nected with our public schools. His
ability as an educator is well established
and the trustees Of the institution should
feel gratified that he has accepted the
position Of principal, as they might have
hunted near and far without getting a
gentleman as well adapted to fill the
bill as Mr.. Collier.

BAY Rum A CosMETIC.-Commlssloner
Douglass has just promulgated the fol-
lowing decision, which will be OF inter
est to druggists and others Bay rum
is simply and purely cosmetic, and IN
all cases liable to stamp tax under
Schedule C. Every package put up for
sale should be stamped, and when
stamped it may be sold like any other
stamped cosmetic, perfumery, incidence
or medicinal preparation. In regard to
stampin. barrel or gallon bottle OF
Cologne water to retail from, would
say that the law does not authorize
such practice. The law requires the
stamp to be affixed TO the bottle or IN
closure in which the article is sold anu
delivered, even though the bottle or IN
closure may be furnished by the pur'
chaser

The INJURED MEN.-We heard yes
terday that Britton Falloure, one Of the
men injured by the fall Of the scaffold
at the blast furnace, on Wednesday,
was still lying insensible 1t seems al
most impossible that he can recover
Andrew Grass rallied little yesterday
morning. His case is not as dangerous
as Mr.. Falloure's. Francis Britt was
suffering a good deal from his hip, but
was otherwise quite comfortable.
