Two DROWNED BoDIEs-.4 lSingrtor Cir.
cunstdnce.-Between ten and eleven o'clock
yesterday morning two human bodies were
discovered floating in the river. near the
head of st. Louis street One was the corpse
of man, apparently not more than thirty
years old: the apparel was fine and OF
stylish pattern. There were marks OF yio-
lence, such as bruises on the face and por.
ton of hair torn out by the roots. The coat
was blue, pantaloons of striped cashmere,
elk vest and good CATERS. Nothing was
found on the body to show who he was.
Close by this body was found floating the
corpse of a colored woman, something like
sixty years old. 1t was dressed in calico
frock, black Jjosey, and colored handker-
chief on her head.
An inquest was held. but nothing further
than the above was learned. The verdict
was. accidental drowning.
Undoubtedly this case should have a more
thorough investigation.

The Tobacco Tax.

Last year when the tobacco tax, was
consolidated at twenty cents it was thought
that the internal revenue receipts from
this source for the fiscal year now closing
would show decrease ofat least five or
six millions ns compared with former
years; bnt instead Of that amount the 6g-
ures show that the decrease is only about
eight buodred thousand dollars or about
one.seveulh Of the estimate. Uoder the
old law, il will be remembered, the tax
was thirty two cents aud sixteen cents per
pound, and commissioner Douglass recon.
meDded consolidation of the tax at
!Seuty tour cents per pound. Congress,
however, fused il at twenty cents, and the
result is highly satisfactory Under the
new law everything works tremendously
and there is scarcely any trouble between
authorities and dealers, rs the law is sim.
pie and easily understood by all. In set
Ting up the accounts Of assessors Of inter.
nal revenue before those officers retired
Commissioner Douglass ascertaiucd that in
some instances assistant assessors had
charged for double duty when they acted
as gougers, aud he Immediately directed
that but one salary Jo allowed them, even
if they had performed double duty, though
in oil cases he allowed them the greater
amount of the two. BY this action sever,
al thousand dollars we're saved, though
much to the disgust of the assessors, who
expected the double pay.

The epidemic that has prevailed in var
ious Southern cities aud which was at first
supposed by many TO be Asiatic cholera is
no longer so regarded. 1t was very VIC.
lent and was fatal to large numbers Of
people, but its leading characteristics arc
shown 10 be different from those of the
Nourgc known as AsiatiC cholera The
diagnosis is different. PoStmortcm exam
inalions reveal different appearance from
'bat presented by the victims Of the latter
disease 1t has also been slow in its trav-
els, while Asiatic cholera is distinguished
by rapid sweep 1t is dying out, while
the other pestiIcncc is of longer duration,
usually lasting where it appears uutil
frost. Unwhocsomc food aud unceauIy
surroundings are the cause, to which this
disease is attributed. Many persons, cS'
pccialIy negroes, to whom it was pnrticu.
larly fa.al, are said to have gluted them,
selves with young, uuripc, or stale vcgeta'
bes. But whatever the disease may be
called it is exceedingly dangerous, and ev'
cry community should adopt the necessary
measures to ward it OF. Prudence in eat
ing and drinking, aud cleanliness, should
be .practiced by all.
