REFORMING TIE WORLDS GRAD
>UATED TiXtIfON."<'''

The New England Labor Reform
League held its annual convention in
Boston last week, and was largely at
tended, the old agitators of both sexes.
with their infallible solutions of the
great problems of society and politics,
being present in full force. The reso-
lutions, of course, presented the usual
tumble of sense and nonsense. They
declared all property not founded on a
labor title to be robbery; recommended
to politicians, or, i'll their own phrase,
political Jockeys" to take measures
" looking to the abolition of landlord
ism, currency-monopoly, and tariffs !;
favored free travel and transit, and the
reputation of so-cailed debts, the prin-
cipal whereof has been paid in the form
of interest They also inveighed
strongly against the virulence of the
Christian Church toward industrial and
social reform ;" characterized the dis
elimination of employers against woman
in the matter of wages as can exhibi-
ton of depravity not pleasant to con-
template ;" and urged increasing effort
for the assistance of humanity against
"still prevailing barbarism." The
scheme most in favor for reforming tho
world this year was one which, advo-
Gated by several delegates, was
called "graduated taxation" The
plan is, briefly, to exempt from
taxation all accumulations of prop
erty less than $1,000; on all between
$4,000 and SIC, 200, to lay u tax of ! of
per cent; between $1,000 and $2O,-
600, of per cent. and so on in Il ratio
increasing as the sum increases, until
the amount of $500, 600 is reached, when
the tax should be 5 per cent. Upon es-
tatcs of $1,000, 900 it should be 90 per
cent. and of IS, ,OOO, ,000and upward, so per
cent! This is as far us the scheme goes,
and very little arithmetic is necessary
to calculate the point where mans ac-
cumulations must cease altogether, and
his property be wholly absorbed by his
taxes

MID DOGS.

AS the summer is now approaching,
we warn our readers to beware of mad
dogs. We have no disposition at pres
ent to give Il scientific account of either
the origin or nature of the rabies
Gamma or dog madness. 1t is sufficient
for practical people to know that the
malady both in man and beast has hith-
erto proved incurable. Let your dogs
have plenty of fresh water during the
warm weather, and then one of the
causes of ma iness will be removed
Keep the children from playing with
the dogs. The danger of that is not
fully appreciated. We have heard of
an Irish lady, who got hydrophobia by
having her face licked by lap-dog
Her face happened to be scratched at
the time the little pet animal licked it.
Let the dogs have plenty of fresh water,
and let the children be kept from fool
ing with them. That is very sensible
advice, and it can be taken and needed
without any trouble, and we hope that
our readers will profit by it.

The celebrated Tichborne case lrags
its slow length along. The reading of
that almost interminable document, his
cross-examination, still occupied the
court, by last mail account. The ignor-
ance exhibited by the claimant slrpass-
es anything that was ever heard of, CON
sidering the rank he aspires to. He did
not know who John Bunyan was /;
thought "cone" was couch or some
thing to sleep on; did not know wheth-
er the Koran was written in Chinese !;
mistook Latin for Greek and, in gen
eral, exhibited general lack of intelli-
gence.

The Secretary of the Treasury and
the Director of the Mint have fixed upon
the devices for the new silver trade dol
lar authorized by the coinage act of
1873, seven different sets of devices,
prepared by the Philadelphia Mint, be-
ing submitted. The one adopted has
for it's diverse female figure, seated on
bale of cotton and extending the right
hand, grasping an olive branch, toward
the open sea. In the left hand is a
scroll, bearing the word "Liberty, :"
and at the base of the device is the mot
to, SIN God we trust" The date of the
coinage QS7Y appears upon the OBJ
verse, together with the halo of thirteen
stars" The reverse is the figure of an
eagle, with the inscription, "United
States of America" and the motto
Il PluribuS Ununa." The weight and
fineness, with the words "Trade Dol
lar" are also appropriately inscribed on
the reverse.

SINCE 1861 the Presbyterian Church
i'll America has been unhappily divided
by political schism, which grew out of
the General Assembly held at Pittsburgh
that year, in which it was declared that
citizens owed allegiance to the United
States instead of their own particular
State, thus attacking the doctrine of
State rights, so dear to the Southern
heart. In 1866 a further division was
made, the Old School Synod of Mis-
souri, separating because of the adoption
of IL resolution by the General Assem-
bly, of 1885, which provided that every
church session and every Presbyterian
connected with the Presbyterian
Church, North, should examine any per-
son coming from IL Southern State and
seeking admission into any of their
churches i'll regard to his relations to
the Federal Government and his views
upon the slavery question, and requir-
ing confession of sin" if he had
been guilty of disloyalty. 1t is signifi-
cant, therefore, that the Assembly at
Baltimore has gone SO far as to adopt a
resolution that two committees be ap-
pointed to confer with both the South
ern General Assembly and the Missouri
Synod for the purpose of effecting re-
union with those branches of the
church, for it probably indicates an
early settlement of the difficulties which
have divided the great Presbyterian
body for a dozen years, a result which
all well-wishers of church harmony and
political concord will certainly hope for.

All the paper for the money issued by
the Government is manufactured on IL
62-inch Fourdrinicr machine, at the
Glen Mills, near Wcstchester, Pa.
Short pieces of red silk are mixed with
the pulp in the engine, and the finished
stuff is conducted to the wire without
passing through any screens, whicl,
might retain the silk threads. BY an
arrangement above the wire cloth II
shower of short pieces of fine blue silk
thread is dropped in streaks upon the
paper while it is being formed. The
upper side, on which the blue silk is
dropped, is the one used for the face of
the notes, and from the manner in
which the threads are applied, must
show them more distinctly than the
lower or reverse side, although they are
imbedded deeply enough to remain
fixed. The mill is guarded by officials
night tand day to prevent the abstraction
of any paper.

T/iE GRO UTTILLE MIRDER,

Let the reader carry his imagination
to Il little retired village nestled between
two romantic hills in the interior of YER
mont At the foot of one of those
wooded eminenccs stood Il neat farm
house, surrounded by the smoothest
lawn and extensive fields, waving, at the
time of our story, with golden wheat
and shining corn. A level interval of
moving grass lay between the snow
white farmhouse, dotted with the grace
full American elm, amid a groupof which
arose the broad roof of the thrifty
farmers large barn. The whole aspect
of the scene was one of comfort, neat
ness, order, and substantial indcpcnd-
ence.
In the little village, which bears the
romantic name of Groutville, lived, some
years since, n man known as Deacon
Joel, quiet, good-natured person who
was very intimately known by the whole
neighborhood, for he was always ready
to subscribe the largest amount to re-
lieve the suffering, and to promote the
cause of Christianity. Deacon Joel had
no children, and for several years after
his marriage he and his wife employed
no servant, living prudently and very
happily. At last there came along an
old bachelor, by the name of Chester
Dillaway, who desired to take board and
lodgings with them. He was well to do
In the world, and desired only quiet
home his money was safely invested,
and he had had enough of city life. The
terms were agreed upon, and Dillaway
took up his abode at Grove Hall, as Joel
called his residence.
Soon after, the deacon's wife found
the care of her family too great for her
and servant was taken into the house
to assist in domestic duties.
1t was soon found that Hannah
Goodalc was not saint. She would
tell falsehoods to hide her faults. and
she was not over Industrious in her in
cllnatlons. But Groutville was an out
of-the-way place, and the deacon,s wife
could do no better; so she managed as
best she could, and continued to retain
the girl, who soon became acquainted
with a dissolute man employed at the
neighboridg hotel, who visited her often
at Grove Hall.
"Where did you get acquainted with
this man, Paddeford?" asked the dea-
cons wife, one day, of Hannah, alluding
to the visits of this fellow.
4" In town, ma'am," said the girl.
"And did you never see him until you
came to Groutville to live with me %
continued Mrs. Joel.
"No, ma'am, never i'll my life"
q" MIR. Joel says he is not a very re-
spectacle person, and he thinks YOU
would be better off if you did not permit
him to visit you"
''If some people l could name would
mind their own affairs-I don't mean
you, maam-they'd get along better, I'm
thinking" replied Hannah, rudely, and
Mrs. Joel turned away.
A week afterwards, the deacon and his
wife went over to Mud Hollow ON visit,
and, returning home at hate hour in
the day, lost the right road After rid
ing some miles the deacon discovered
his mistake, and turned homeward once

On the subject of funny marriages,
the Registrar General of Great Britain
comes promptly to our rescue with the
yearly record of those given in marriage
in that realm. Among the ardent grooms
were no less than eleven lads of eighty
years. One of them married maiden
of eighty-two summers (winters includ-
ed), while the others were content with
children of thirty to thirty-tive. One
youth of sixty-tive took "for better or
for worse" q lass of fifteen.

RETIRIING FROM OFFICE.

Calcraft, the English executioner, has
announced his intention to shortly re-
tire from official life, and seek the re-
pose of cultivating roses, dahlias, and
tulips, for which he has great taste.
His successor is said to be one Robert
Richard Evans, well-to-do farmer of
his own land, of Llangain Farm, near
Camarthen, South Wales, and who has
assisted at executions for the last four
teen years, out of pure devotion to the
"noble art" The corporation of Lon
don will pension Calcraft on his full
honorarium of G1 per week, and the
Home Office are asked to supplement
this. Farmer Evans, who will probably
succeed Calcraft, is robust, middle
aged man, and his master has certified
to his skill and his ability to keep up
the dignity of his station, and with
credit and fame to his country and pro-
fession. 1t is reported that Calcraft,
who possesses fund of grim humor,
very much regrets that he had not the
pleasure of operating upon one or two
newspaper reporters before resigning
his power.
