TO FOOLISH GIRLS.

A WORD OF WARNING wHAT MAY COME OF
CORRESPONDENCE WITH UNKNOWN FELL
Lows--BEwARE OF NEWSPAPER PERSON
AIS.
During the progress of divorce case
tried in Cincinnati few days ago, some
disclosures were made which must be
highly interesting to any foolish young wo-
men who have allowed themselves to be
led into correspondence with strangers,
through the introductory medium of news
paper advertisements. 1t appeared that
the defendant in the case, who was ac-
cussd of inhdelity and desertion, had nd
vertised in the Wareriy Magazine for corre-
spondence with young ladies between sew
entecn and twenty years of age, with q
view to matrimony," describing hims elf as
gentleman of ample fortune; and large
box of letters and photographs Of yourg
women who had answered his adver-
tisement was produced in the court room.
These were examined with great interest
by the jury, reporters, and others, and it
is very probable that some of the letters
may be published for the amusement of
the public. 1t was shown that in one in
stance, at least, the rascal had proceeded
so far as TO contract an engagement Of
marriage with a young woman Of respcc-
table family who had answered his advef-
tisement, although he had wife and child
living at the time. How many more such
cases there were cannot be known. If
girls belonging TO respectable families will
be SO iDexcusably foolish as to enter into
correspondence with men of whom they
know nothing except from the description
hey give Of themselves in advertisements,
hey must not expect sympathy II their
pictures and their love letters come to
light IN such manner ms to expose them
to great modification.

Mr.. John Rector, of the Sun office, OF
Cairo, has our thanks for daily copies OF
that paper containing the proceedings of
the meetings Of the citizens of Cairo and
Alexander county in the interests Of the
Cairo and Nincennes road We are
pleased to notice that the county court has
had the good sense to listen to the petit
TONERS and that they have granted the
prayer and have ordered that a special ell
ection be held on Monday, the 3rd day of
july next, upon the question of levying n
tax to pay the interest on the railroad
bonds OF said road This is II just and fair
way to dispose Of this question, and shifts
the responsibility from the court to the
people. Now, if Cairo and Alexander
county fail in securing this enterprise, the
people alone are to blame. 1t should be
the effort, from now till the election
of every public spirited cItizen of that
place and county, to remove any and all
prejudices that may exist, and to bring
this matter before the people in its true
light, and in its importance to them. II
lost this time, it is more than probable that
they will never have ~ chance to ACCEPT or
reject it again. Railroads seeking the
Ohio river for an outlet, or for connection.
are in too great demand ut other points for
Cairo to say to them, "you must await
some more convenient season.

Mr.. JAMES MACE DEMANDS HIS MONEY.
From tie Ncr York Sun, f5b.
Yesterday Mr.. james Mace called on
Harry Hill, at his saloon in Houston street,
and demanded the money which Mr.. Hill
holds as stakeholder in the Mace and Co
burn fight. Mr.. Hill said that he had not
received any notice except telegram
from Mr.. Hollywood, telling him to hand
the money over to Mace. This he did not
consider sufficient to warrant him in so
doing, as Mr. Hollywood did not give any
reasons for his decision. He was, therefore,
unwilling to give up the money to either
of the parties until II was fixed beyord all
dispute who was entitled TO IL. After some
further talk II was finally agreed upon TO
leave the decision to Bells Life Mr.. Holly
wood to write, explaining tho case, and
asking decision. Mr.. Mace has sent
word to this effect to the referee.

SALT IN EGYPT.
C.. pr. HALLlDAY'S WELL AT ST
JOHNS, NEAR DC QUIN.

FINE WELL CAPABLE OF fuRSisHING
SUFFICIENT WATER TO MANUFACTURE
SIXTY BARRELS PER DAY-A DIFFICULT
ny ~ THE wAY--Too MUCl LIME,
From the In Quoiu Tribune, June litn.l
We have before Us II specimen of salt
manufactured from the salt well at st.
Johns mines, one mile north Of this city
So far ms we are able TO Judge, it Is Il SUI
perior quality of salt.
We are Informed that this we'll is
capable Of furnishing sufficient mineral
water to manufacture sixty barrels of
salt per day. If this be So it is mys-
terry to Us why it should be allowed to
remain idle SO long. II is now over II
ycur since the well was sunk, and so far
there has been but little done with it
beyond mere experimenting. The
greatest obstacle in its manufacture is
said to be the difficulty of eliminating the
| lime, with which the water is strongly inn
prcgnatedi or rather, its adhesion 20 the
pan in which the process of evaporation
| j, effected. In fact this seems TO he the
/ only difficulty TO be overcome. 1t does
! seem that this difficulty ought to be over
come in this age Of science. That this
matter has not been referred to scientific
men for II solution, is, to us passing strange.
1t may be more difficult to obviate than
we imagine, but the advantage and value
10 this part of the country, to manufac-
ture its own salt can hardly be estimated,
and ought not fail for want of proper eff
fort
70 =
The expense, we understand, is compar-
ativcly light in converting this brine into
salt. Its claimed that with the difficulty
above mentioned, the profits of the well
would excel that of our coal mines. This,
however we very much question. But
remove this drawback and we know of no
reason why salt manufacturing should not
be ms profitable here as elsewhere, More
than this, we will venture the assertion
that, whenever this difficulty is overcome,
salt wells in Du Quoin will outnumber
coal mines, employ equally as many
skilled and unskilled laborers. When that
time shall be we cannot now tell but we
hope the time is not far in the future.

amount, as that was fixed by the Con-

The Income Tax in Old England.

The Taxpayer" is responsible for
the following narrative, the substan-
tial truth of which is also endorsed
by the Birmingham Daily Gazette
A man already assessed left Not
tingham and went to Birmingham,
leaving se5 of income tax unpaid: He
was followed to Birmingham and re-
quested to pay up his arrears. He
disregarded the notice served upon
him. What is more, he stuck them
up in his Office and annotated them
satirically. At last he was informed
in red letters that if he did not pay
he would be proceeded against. Be
ing a man of nerve, he took no no.
tice of the threat. Then, in the
course of a month OF two, he received
q huge foolscap letter-written, not
lithographed--from Somerset House,
asking the ground on which he de-
clined to pay. He replied, after
week or two, that the reason he did
not pay was that he had not the mon
ey. Two or three months afterwards
he was told that this was not rea-
son of which her Majesty's Commits
sioners could take any cognizance.
He failed to see this, and her Majes-
TVS Commissioners spent some ten
months in arguing the point-still in
writing. At last her Majesty's Com
.missionersbe perenptory. They
wrote, through their secretary, that
they declined to argue the question
further; the money must be paid.
The defaulter replied that he ''was a
gentleman, and was not accustomed
to peremptory letters" and that he
should decline to hold any further
correspondence with the department."
Well, the matter went on for five
years, and during that time the pee
cant persoAnever paid farthing of
income tax. His one answer to all
applicants was that he was in Cor
respondence with the department"
At last warrant was issued, and en-
trusted to the sheriff of the district
for execution. The defaulter being
in lodgings, the sheriff's officers con-
Guided it would be of no use to dis
train, SO he took the defaulter's body
This was Illegal. An officer had no
right to take the body Of an income
tax defaulter until he had distrained
and finds the proceeds of distraint
insufficient to meet the demands.
The result was the defaulter COM
menced an action for false imprison-
ment against the officer, and did not
withdraw it till the sheriff had paid
the amount due on account of the
tax and costs, as we'll as q small dou-
, ceur which suficed to pay the ex-
penses incurred by the defaulter in
giving dinner to a few friends to
celebrate the event.
