The wife of Rev o. D. Taylor was recently
stricken, while in prayer meeting at Jackson
Michigan, with paralysis of the brain, and died
in about an hour, thus fulfilling her wish of the
evening before, that she might die in prayer
meeting.
Near Chicago there is a steam garden of
two acres, covered with glass, and network of
pipes laid beneath the BEDS supplied with steam
by powerful engine and boilers, to supply
warmth and moisture. Early vegetables are
nearly ready for pulling, and later ones are pro-
crossing finely.
The announcement of certain temperance

delay.
1t is stated that on the first days sale of

THE Republican papers of the western part
of the State have spoken in terms of warm
commendation of Colonel David Stanton, of
Beaver, for the Republican nomination for
Auditor General; and as the candidacy is
generally conceded to the West, his success
is more than possible. He is cousin of the
late great Wor Minister whose name he bears
and has himself made an excellent war re-
cord. He is spoken of as eminently qualified,
of spotless reputation, and as popular with
the Republicans of the West

Mr.. SMITH yesterday introduced a
fine lot of bills in the State House
of Representatives, for widening Nice
town lane, for repeating the act of 1870 rela-
tive to qualifications of road jurors, authoriz-
ing the construction of pneumatic tubes under
the streets, squares and avenues of Philadel-
phia, with unlimited powers, for the laying
out great avenue on the Wissakickon road,
and divers other schemes for filing the
pockets of certain contractors at the expense
of the taxpayers of Philadelphia Why does
not Mr.. Smith ''go the whole hog" if we may
be allowed the expression, and introduce a
bill for the transfer of all the real
and personal property of Philadelphia
to the possession of himself and
friends? This would be much shorter and
easier method of growing rich than by engi-
neering series of petty peculative measures
that only gain for Mr.. Smith the reputation
of being a commonplace sort of plunderer.

: Two or three bills looking to the

prompt recognition Of the general
and impatient public sentiment which
demands the repeal Of this linguistic
rial and odious tax. The sentiment
of the last Congress was strongly in
the samo direction, and the measure
was only defeated by the rarliamcn
tary devices Of tho minority in oppo,
sition. Through the influence of n
few dissatisfied members, the House
failed to pass the Senate measure, on
the plea that the action of the Senate
should have first originated in the
House, because it provided for the
raising of money. The popular de-
mand that straightforward Legislation
shall be had upon the subject cannot
be much longer resisted. The, state
