The New Tax ON Small Dealers In
Leaf Tobacco.

The Tariff and Tax law finally passed by
Congress contains many unwise and unjust
provisions. Such law is peculiarly open to
errors of legislation, and it would be singular
should it be found free from objection when
carefully examined after enactment. One Of
its provisions peculiarly open to objection is
that which exacts from retail dealers in leaf
tobacco tax Of five hundred dollars annually as
license fee, and obliges them besides to pay
to the government one-haf the amount Of
their sales over one thousand dollars in O
single year. This of course was intended to
destroy the retail trade in leaf tobacco, and 1t
does so just as effectually as if it had made
it penal offence punishable by heavy
fine and imprisonment 1t absolutely pre-
vents any person from selling, and hence
any person from buying leaf tobacco In guam
titles less than hogshead at time.
The effect of this Inv is to conhne
the trade in leaf tobacco to the large dealers,
and to exclude every person from the cigar
manufacturing business who cannot afford to
buy hopshend of leaf tobacco at one time.
There are many thousands Of German born
citizens all over tho country, industrious,
steady, deserving men, who have hitherto

UNITED STATES ARMAMENT IN THE PACIFIC. -
We are informed by mail from China that the
United States government is about arranging
with the American Trading Company Of Bor-
neo for site for naval station to be located
within the company's concession on the north
end Of Borneo, about the centre of the Eastern
Archipelago, and that commissioner will be
despatched from America to select the place
and complete the final settlements. II this
statement be exactly correct, and that the
Cabinet is trading with trading company,
let us hope there will not be too much trading
in the matter.

PRESIDENT THEIRS DEFENCE OF THE Fppve,,
ARMY Bull. President Of France took mart
in the debate which occurred IN the Legislative
Assembly yesterday. He went down to the
house in order to defend the Government Arnv
bill. His effort was exhaustive, ingenious and
successful He set out with the utterance Of a
solemn proclamation that France desires long
peace, and peace with all nations. The con-
servatism of his preface convinced the
members that the Cabinet opposition to
Trochu's motion for reduction OF
the term Of military service did not pro-
coed from an aggressive animus, but from
desire to maintain the great engine in efficient
order and disciplinary norale--a feature which
cannot be obtained under very short
term service and with continual change of the
personnel. Trochus amendment contemplated
reduction OF the term of army duty from
I'VE years-as fixed by the Executiye-to three
lis cdptandon for popularity, a most attractive
Dne IN france, If not the most attractive was
ueieased by vote Of 462 to 22S This fact
SPEAKS Wen Tor the positive strength of the
French Ministry. 1t assures MS, also. that
France Is being steadily indoctrinated to n
Just and beneficial appreciation Of the prin-
ciple of healthy democracy.

The Woman Question.

MEssRs. EDITORS In your issue
of the 10th inst, appears a communi
nication over the signature of "R. W,
NJ, whom we assume to be a gentle
man, on that unsolved, we may say
insolvable problem, of the Rights and
Wrongs Of Woman" If our assump-
ton be correct, we cannot refrain from
expressing our admiration Of his cour-
age and candor.
While heartily endorsing his senti-
ments, with one exception, Of which
more anon We must observe that the
problem is as far from satisfactory
solution as when Solomon, who chose
universal wisdom as his portion, was
compelled to the confession that, with
reference to woman's relation to man,
it was beyond his comprehension.
But We particularly admire the
fearlessness Of your correspondent
when he challenges the pride and as
sumed superiority of his sex, and bold
ly assigns to woman her right to enter
any of the walks of life as mans COM
petitor for its prizes and its honors,
and, in doing so, not run a terrible
risk of being disgraced, or unsexed,
because she has to labor with head,
heart, or hands. In all ages man has
been woman's accuser. Her weakness
es. frailties, faults and follies, have
been the prolific themes for splenetic
essays and indicate ribaldry; and
this, because the letters that man him
self forged have made her helpless and
defenceless. 1t is scarcely possible to
pick up dozen random journals with
out finding the subject treated in dia-
metrically opposite ways. The chan
ges are first rung on her lavishness.
Incidence, want of sympathy, and
failure to assist man in the accomplish
ment of business success. But when
she enters the field of labor, or steps
into the arena of professional life. the
ridiculous assertion is made that she
unsexes herself.
In the extended and extending cat
alogue of charges that have been and
are brought against woman, perhaps
tho uf the Lour are the sr2ycst.--

Important 10 Coal Burners.

The reported poisoning OF Mrs. AR
MOLD, with the mysterious eotempora-
neous illness of other members Of her
family, in Frederick, Md, is now as
signed to the inhalation, during sleep,
of carbonic oxide, or coal smoke This
supposition is strengthened by the sim
ilarity of the symptoms in the cases
referred to with those kno,rn to have
been fatal from this cause. Eminent
medical authority has also confirmed
the probable correctness Of this i'm
preston.
This gas is the product Of imperfect
combustion, and is generated in large
quantities. Its want of color and lack
of tendency to respiratory irritation
make it exceedingly dangerous, and
calls for watchful care on the part of
housekeepers who burn coal. 1t is
quite common, when a room becomes
unpleasantly warm, to close the lower
part of the stove and open the upper,
by which this dangerous, because. in
sidious, poison is thrown out. 1nhal-
ed, it cannot fail to be detrimental to
health, even if no immediate effect is
observed.
This subject is worthy Of attention
by all, by none more than by the peo-
pie of this region, who use coal almost
exclusively. This attention must be
mtelHgcr,tly bestowed, else the danger
is not lessened.

learn that the ladies who have engln-

One lady wished to get all appropria-

ORIGIN OF THE Printers Devil
When Aldus Manutius set up in bust
ness as printer at Venice, he came
in possession of a little negro boy
This boy was known over the city as
the little black devil" who assisted
the mysterious bibliofactor and some
of the most ignorant believed him to
be none other than the embodiment of
Satan, who helped Aldus in the pros
ecution of his profession. One day,
Manutius, desiring to dispel this
strange hallucination publicly, dis
played the young imp to the poor
classes. Upon this occasion he made
this short, but characteristic speech :
Be it known to Venice, that |, Aldus
Manutius, printer to the Holy Church
and Doge, have this day made public
exposure of the printers deril! All
those who think he is not flesh and
blood, may come and pinch him.
