We halted at Aubras, near Orleans, for break

minutes to eat IL. We had o gatanttne de volatile,
which means cold fowl boned, stunned and cut in

cooks call ''savory," and roast mutton with DO
tatoes. Also cheese and fruit at discretion (the

somblyis now engagcd upon tho important qucs-
tion Of adjusting tho Budget to meet the existing
deficiency, which amounts to upwards Of 193, ,000,-

creaBe Of tho registration tax, 900 000 addition
nj ta1in porcelain, soap. glass, and oil, 49,

and other raw material used by weavers and
spinners. The proposition OF tho Government,
however, ia meeting with forco opposition,
especially with regard to tho taxation Of tissues.
Tho Dc1ats shows that Its collection would in
volye an enormous expense. snd recommends
tho Bubstitution Of tax On salt. This, how
oyer, would probably raise still 1ercer oppoai-
tion, as 1t nould fall with greater aeYority upon
tho agricultural laborers. There is, in fact,
except the registration tax. which does not
meet with opposition. The manufacturers
Of soap, porcelain, and glssa not
only oppose their Own tax, but any proposition
to romit the tisuue tax, upon tho ground that, Il
thcir taxes arc to bo increased, tho tiasuo-manu'
facturors, who have nevor paid an excise tax
certainly ought to pay thoir part also. Apart
