The Back Taxes,

1t is understood that the city has due it,
in back taxes since 1860, the enormous
sum of $4,5OO,OOO. No provision has been
made to collect them. They stand on the
collectors books representing wealth
which, If properly utilized would go far in
restoring the municipal credit if it did not
completely re-establish it.
The floating debt of the city amounts to
but little over $l,2OO,OOO. The delinquent
taxes of last year alone would pay this
debt. Why, then, has not some exertion
been made to collect them? If the ap-
pliances under the control of the Admin
istrator of Finance are unable to effect it,
the Council has ample authority for more
effective provisions. Some time since, Ad-
mlnistrator Bonzano made an attempt to
have these taxes collected, but, for some
reason, the Council failed to sustain him.
1t is certainly of sufficient Importance to
call for some consideration.

Base Ball.

The Lone Stars and Lees play at the Park
on Sunday next for the championship. The
boys in grey have made some changes in
their nine which will make the champions
do their best to defeat them. As this will
be the first game for the championship for
1873, we would advise all admirers of base
ball to witness the result, which, judging
from the former meetings between those
two clubs, will, no doubt, be close and in
teresting. Admission twenty-five cents.
Ladies free.
On the Sunday following, the Stars will
play the famous Washingtons of the Third

An Omaha merchant went up into a
mountain nook IN Coloradoto fish. While
thus engaged he saw bear coming toward
him by the only path in which escape was
possible. To appease tie intruder he
tossed him a fish, which the animal mistook
for direct assault and went for him. The
eombatants struggled long and fercely,
finally tumbling into the creek, when they
separated and ran as fast as possible in op-
posite directions. The merchant will fish
in the valley hereafter.

Russia.

The beginning of Russia as an in
dependent state was over a thousand
years back, and we have not yet COM
pleted our first national centenary.
But the two empires, old and young,
have q great spirit of progress in COM
mon. Peter the Great, who did not
assume the title of emperor until 172l +,
four years before his death, deserves
to be considered as the true founder
of the vast realm now governed by
his descendant, Alexander H., great
grandson of Catherine IL, who, a
member of the house of Roumanoff
only by marriage with one of its
heads, first carried into effect many
of the grand and ambitious designs
of Peter the Great. The succession
from her comprehends the Emperor
Paul, his two sons Alexander and
Nicholas, and the ruling monarch,
who began his reign in 1855 by bring
ing the Crimean War to q close, and
has ever since cultivated the arts of
peace. The revolt of the Circassians
clssed by the surrender of SchaInyi,
their gallant leader. Russia, with
her territory extending across the
north Of Asia, and her army and
navy extremely powerful and well
prepared, is now greater than ever.
Germany, Austria, and France, ex-
hausted by recent destructive war
fare, are iii prepared for any further
contest. 1t is not likely shat Russia
will throw down the gauntlet to any
Of the great powers, her neighbors,
but she is prepared, possibly, to carry
out the programme of Peter the Great,
which included the annexation and
sovereignty of Turkey, an effete
realm, the dim spectre of departed
greatness. H. - = :.
