Wearing a New Boot.

The Danbury Ne,cs says: 1t is little
singular how well new pair OF bo9ts
can be made to fit at the store. You
may not be able to get your foot only
part way down the leg at the first trial,
but that is because your stocking is
sweaty, or you haven't started right,
and the shoemaker suggests that you
start again and stand up to it, and he
throws in a little powder from a pepper
box to aid you. And so you stand up,
and pound down your foot, and partly
trip yourself up, and your eyes stick
out in an unpleasant manner, and every
vein in your body appears to be on the
point of bursting, and all the while
that dealer stands. around and eyes the
operation as intently as If the whole
affair was perfectly new and novel to
him. When your foot has finally struck
bottom, there is a faint impression on
your mind that you have stepped into
an open stove, but he removes it by
solemnly observing that he never saw
boot fit quite as good as that. You may
suggest that your toe presses too hard
against the front, or that some of the
bones in the side of the foot are too
much smashed, but he says this is al
ways the way with new boot, and that
the trouble will entirely disappear in a
few days. Then you take the old pair
under your arm and start for home as
animated as relic of 1912, all the while
feeling that the world will not look
bright and happy to you again until you
have Drained that shoemaker. You
limp down town the next day, and
smile all the while with your mouth,
while your eyes look as if you were
walking over an oyster bed barefoot.
When no one is looking, You kick
against post or some other obstruc-
ton, and show fondness for stopping
and resting against something that will
sustain your weight. When You get
home at night you go for those old boots
with an sagerness that cannot be de-
scribed, and the remarks that you make
upon learning that your wife has dis
posed of them to widowed woman in
the suburbs, are calculated to immedi-
ately depopulate the earth Of women
and shoemakers generally.

at is weakness of the good people o
Washington to believe that they are pol
iticians. Dwelling under the shadow
of the General Government, they i'm
agine that they inhale politics will
every breath they draw. You will hard
ly find a male resident of the Capita
but is firmly convinced that he has in

for the women, their confidence in thei
is sublime. or course they can accom-
plish what they undertake, for where i
the Congressman or official that can re
sist them? Be he never so Obdurate
they are sure they can win him over
How much of truth there is in this feel
ing, it is impossible to say, but it is Ger
tain that numbers of the residents o
the city, of both sexes, do seek to eXer
else this influence, some making an act
ual business or profession of it. Ever,
winter their ranks are swelled by the ar
rival of men and women from all part
of the country, who are equally sur
that they either possess or can obtain :
similar influence over the powers tina

in behalf OF the varioas schemes il

In the Wrong Box.

The other day o man from one Of our
neighboring towns came bolting into
the inside door of the Postoffice with
the following inquiry, ''See here Mis-
ter" have you got any fried oysters
He seemed to be very much disappoint-
ed when the clerk told him they were
out. He said they must be very scarce,
as he had been in nearly every house in
town and they were all out. The clerk
then sent him across the street to Mr.,
Weston's and told him he always kept
boiled eggs on hand and supposed he
had the fried oysters also. He went
across and in about half an hour he
came out seemingly very much refresh
ed and walked up street smoking his

Special Tax.

A matter of considerable importance
for all persons subject to license or
special tax under the Internal Revenue
laws, to understand, is that they will,
from and after the first of this month,
be required to pay the tax under the
provisions Of the act of December "a
1872. Instead of waiting for assess.
ment, they will be required to pay IN
advance, the same rs State licenses, and
the penalties are heavy for doing bust
ness after the 1st of May without hav,
ing paid the tax. The receipt to be
procured at the Office of the Collector Is
to be posted conspicuously in the place
of business of the taxpayer. The law
imposes penalties for falling so to post
tbe receipts or stamps. Those interest
ed vill do well to bear these facts care

Tomorrow, (Tnesday the 13th) we
are to have the decision of our State
Court upon the legality of the law
granting tax to be levied for building
railroad, when a desire of the same is so
expressed by two-thirds majority of
all votes cast for such a purpose. And
4 believe that it is the wish of every
thinking man, whose motives are not
purely selfish and misery that the Cur
decide it legal law. 1t is question
of very much interest, to the people
along the projected railroad from Black
River down through the Muskingum
Valley, known as the Cleveland, Woos-
ter q Muskingum Valley Railroad. But
whether the law is decided constitution
al or not. The general opinion is
that the road will be built notwith-

fully felt its necessity, if for nothing
more than coal which has been very
