We regret to learn that some u .D'
property holders in the northern P0fuon
of the city are disposed to embarrass
the officers of the Pittsburgh, Wheeling
and Kentucky railroad as much as
noss;bIe in relation to the right
Of way. A large majority of the
owners of lots along the line ofthe road
have dealt very literally with the COM
pauy, many Of them giving the right Of
way without any charge whatever, and
others charging only such a
sum as will be necessary TO
replace the buildings removed IN
orGer to lay the railroad track
But few are, as we are informed, dis
posed TO be somewhat exorbitant IN
their demands, and it now seems proba-
he that the Courts will have to he re-
sor,ed TO in order to fix a price which
is lust and equitable. Wewill endeavor
to procure for publication at an early
day list Of property holders along the
line of the road within the corporate
limits Of the city, showing the terms
upon which each has released to the
railroad company the right Of way, and
the names Of those with whom the
company has been unable to agree.

is diversity Of opiniofamong the pas.
seugprs who have reached Salt Lake
and San Francisco as to whether the
officers Of the railroad are deserving OF
censure for the long delay.
The confidence felt in the future Of
Chicago by capitalists is shown by the
fact that two New York bankers have

$5,000,000 for from five to ten years at

The lumber manufacturers and deal
ers OF this city have signed cordial

The German Language.

The schco. board has made provision
for instruction in the German language.
This has been done not only to afford
the children Of German parents an
opportunity to learn their mother
tongue, but also TO enable American
children TO become acquainted with the
elements OF that language, which forms
the substratum Of our OWN 900, or
four.filths OF the word- in actual use in
English, being traced directly 10 the
German. 1t haz been verified. where
the experiment has been made, that
children studying these two languages
at the samc time, Insieai Of beng
retarded 10 their progress 10 the
English studies, really make more
advancement 10 them than those Who
are confined to one language, Besides,
in a country where the Germans and
their descendants number ten million
souls, one-fourth Of the entire popula-
ton, the great practical value Of
knowledge Of German at once becomes
apparent. The study Of any Of the
branches Of natural science. or fne
arts, will be more successiul # the
student is familiar with the language OF
the country where they principally
apply themselves to such studies.
Those who seek a higher grade OF
education can scarcely do 70 without
becoming acquainted with the rich and
extensive literature OF Germany.
Certain sciences OF recent foundation,

in the education Of man, as for instance

ImpOrtant Decision.

WASHINGTON, February 2O.-The
cashier Of national bank inquiries of
Treasurer Spinner whether stockhold-
ers OF his bank will be required to pay
a municipal tax on shares owned by
them in case OF the banks exchanging
the six per cent. bonds deposited with
the Treasurer, to secure the redemption
OF its circulating notes, for five per cent.
bonds of the new funded loan OF 1881
To which he replied that, although the
act Of July IA, 1870, declares that
bonds of the funded loan of 1881 and
the interest thereon shall be exempt
from taxation in any form by or under
State, municipal or local authority, the
deposit of bonds of that loan by na-
tional bank with the United States
Treasurer, to secure redemption OF its
circulating notes, does not exempt the
bank from the payment Of any State,
municipal or local tax which it would
otherwise have been required to pay.
