On the basis of the present equalized valua-
ton of real aud personal property for State
taxation, the City of New York pays within
small fraction of one-half the entire State
tax, Each inhabitant of the city Is taxed an
average sum, which il between three and one
quarter and three and one-half times more
than the average sum paid by an inhabitant
of tho State residing out Of the city. The
scne, OF il anything little larger ratio, exists
between the city and county or local taxes OF
New-York and the local taxes of the rest of
the State. The number of people in this city
who think themselves three times more able
to pay taxes than people in the same position
in life outside of the city is probably extremely
small. Part Of our population is immensely
wealthy, but the vast majority is poor; and
tho extremes are moro widely separated than
in any other city in the Union. But whether
it be right or not it is the fact that New York
City, reckoning its population by the head, is
taxed more than three times rs heavily as the
rest of the State.
There is no example in any other State of
the population of great city assessed for
taxation three times as high per capita as the
population Of the rest of the State. We have
made some calculations from the Census re-
turns of the assessed valuations. of property
of the other great cities Of the country and
of the rest of the States in which they are
situated, and the reader will find them sug
gestive. We present some examples:
In Illinois the average valuation per. head
in 1870 was S25 in Cook County; SlS1 in the
other counties of tho State, and the ratio
was 1876.
In Ohio tho average valuation per head was
$685. in Hamilton County; SAY in the other
counties, aud the ratio was 1.59.
In Maryland the average valuation per head
was S719 in Baltimore County; Sil3 III the
other counties, and tho ratio was LA.
In Missouri the average valuation per head
was 1888 in ST. Louis County, s269 in the
other counties, and the ratio was 19S.
In Massachusetts tho average valuation was
Sc 2O7 ia Suffolk County; $s39 in the other
counties, and the ratio was 2.63.
In PENNSYLVANIA the average valuation was
s7C5 in Philadelphia; $3.50 in the rost Of the
State, and the ratio was 2.73. No direct tax
is levied in Pennsylvania for State purposes.
In New-Yors the average valuation was
s9S5 In New-Yoik City, $500 in the other
counties, and tho ratio was 3.@6. In Kings
County tho average was s462. In New-York
and Kings Counties, taken together, the aver
ago was $e2i; in the rest of the State $3.50,
and the ratio was 2.04
Since 1870 the average equalzed valuation
per head of this city is still greater, aud our
taxation has increased comparatively TO tho
rest OF the State While the foregoing method
of reasoning cannot be considered as decisive
Of tho question, whether or not tho City Of

There's magnificent opportunity for Dlrwinians
at Reunion Island, if the English Consuls report of
affairs there is to DO believed. Tho laziness Of the
populace equals that of the famous gentleman Of
the West who could not make up his mind to live,
tho corn contributed to continue his existence not
being shelled. The free descendants Of the former
slave population Of Reunion have buried themselves
in the mountain hooks, ard there just manage TO
live by planting small plots Of maize, and by destroy
ing tho forests for charcoal. Their wretched
degradation is such that the opinion is actually held
among the lower classes that, in tho third genera
ton, their arms, ears, and toes become elongated
and that succeeding generations will reach the-to
Darwin-interesting fate of being gradually devel-
oped into the gigantic maigu or lemur of MAZDA

The suggestion that the next meeting of the
Alumni of the Military Academy of the United
states be participated in by Union and ex-Con-
federate soldiers. alike, is one of generous In
spiration. Time is rapidly obliterating the scars
of the late civil strife; and though here and
shcre some well-meaning but narrOw-minded
person insists on keeping alive the old ami
,nosi6es. the ancient ties of patriotism are
knitting together the men who lately fought
on opposite sides. The address which we print

lectua disorder her fond parents Immediately sent

garments and mended those Of her little brother.
Much affected, the venerable man remarked that
never during medical practice of twenty-five years
had lie known any young person to manifest such
symptoms as these. The most heartrending phase
of all, however was shown the other day, when her
kind father with faint hope Of rOusing her from
her sad state, gave her 800 and told her to buy
new dress Alas twas useless. She instantly OBJ
