= A very curious, or at least very interesting,
case has recently come before tho London
courts, which, although very ordinary and even
commonplace in itself, has nevertheless come
extraordinary surroundings, and involves prob
lem which is worthy Of some study BY social
philosopherH.:.. The defendant in tho case was
Mr. B.. Weightmnn, q London bar1ister of thirty
years standing, and Of hitherto irreproachable
character, whose offence was purloining book
from. the 1nner-Temple Library, which he after
ward sold for a few ahillings in order to obtain
dinner. The volume was All American legal
work which had just arrived III England. There
were only three copies in tho county, and, as
there was but one in the library, the loss Vas q
severe one. The evidence was conclusive against
him, and, upon the finding OF the verdict
of guilty, the Court sentenced him to
a1 months imprisonment at hard labor.
Commenting upon ~the severity OF the
sentence, the London ,jNesos sarcastcally
remarks: "As things go, the sentence
was not severe. Il Mr. Weightman had had
wife, and il, possessed OF that treasure, he had
forthwith cut her head open OF flung her down q
flight Of stairs, he would probably have been
condemned to lighter punishment. But the

FRENCH TRAITS.

By pRoF. WILLIAM MATTHEWS, OF THE UNIVERSITY
OF CHICAGO.
OF all tho civilized peoples On the globe there
is no one whosecharactor is 80 full Of seeming,
if not real paradoxes, as that Of the French. Al
uays better or worBc than they arc expected to
be,-one day sinking far below tho level Of hu-
manity, at another soaring far above it,-now
electrifying the world by their brilliant thoughts
or deeds, and anon provoking it's indignation Or
acorn by their serviity, egotism, or meanness,-
the French are so Interchangeable TINT
their distinctive features may be recog-
nized in portraits drawn by Caesar and
others nearly two thousand years ago, and
vet 30 tickle that one not familiar with
their whole career is often half inclined to doubt
their identity. Co1eridge says Of them, with the
usual English narrowness; TINT they are like
gunpowder each individual is smutty and
contemplate; but mhss them together, and
they are terrible. intellectually they are equal
ly solid and brilliant do everything thoroughly,
yet display the most exquisite taste in trifes.
We arc wont to speak Of them as superficial yet.
where do you find profounder scholars than in

gay and frivolous fellows that aro deep! No
people have quicker or keener perceptions; none
probe moro thoroughly to tho coro everything
which they Investigate. They are equally skilled
in cards and chess, and in marahaling batta1ions
on the field; they ara alike at home in calculat-
ing the revolutions Of planets in their orbits and
in cutting pigeon-wings in ballroom. They
have their La Places and their Lubins; they are
alike unriyaled in fllagree and in mathematics,
Their profoundest thoughts are bon-mots; their
jeats veil deep philosophical theories.
It is Paris that is foremost in learned monkeys
and in learned scientists !; Paris that furnishes
US with our latest theories OF philosophy;
Paris that furnishes us with our latest

been started in Boston, in connection with the
public schools. The Chairman Of the Committee
on Industrial Schools has presented to the

orders. Tho substance OF these orders is, that
On and afser September next, sewing, which Ia
now taught in tho sixth, fifth, and fourth classes
Of the girls grammar schools, shall be gradually
introduced into all the other classes, so that IN
three years from this time it may DO universally

shaping, and fitting, and thoroughly making

in this scheme, and the appointment OF COM
petent sewing teacher to tako charge Of the
whole department, es well as snnan appropria.
ton for materials. The report has not Jet been
acted upon; but it has occasioned considerable
discussion and has attracted vary general public
interest," T." .

In this estimate there is nothing included Tor
the city Is share OF the new Courthouse. There
is a portion Of the money derived from the State
applicable to that purpose. When that shall BE-
expended there must be lresort to direct ta1.
That the county is to bear half the cost Of the
Court-Houss is mero legal fction,-the city
constituting, go far as taxation is concerned,
aix-seyanths OF the county.
Included ID the list Of taxes is the million Of
dollars for special improvements which will be
borne by those whose property is benefited.
The Park taxes ire so equally. distributed that
they may be considered q general tax Deduct
Ing the special assessments, there will be . tax
of from eight and half to nine millions Of
dollars to be collected in this city Tor. the year
1873. Is that tax, under all the circumstances,
Excessive? It includes large portion Of ex-
penditures made necessary by the fire, and BY
the changed policies Of tho city and State Gov
ernments. Some portion is due, also, to tho loose
uay in Which city affairs have been conducted in
the past, which fact has been more complicated
by tho destruction Of all tho city records.
It has. been made necessary by the great
increase Which haa taken place in all manner of
business in Chicago, and to the extension Of
business quarters to points heretofore considered
remote. The new city is not only the old one
rebuilt, but tho area covered with permanent
buildings Is double what it was before the fire.
The suburbs OF the city hare been moved out
ward in all directions, and the once baro and TN
covered places are now habited and occupied.
The demand for fire and police service has been
corresponding1y increased, and in like manner
all other. branches Of the public. service have
erown in size and expense. When thia whole
tax, regular and extraordinary, forstate, County,
and Municipal, is spread upon the whole property
wines OF the city, it will be- found to be tlargo
only by comparison with the taxes OF previous
yearr, and to bear smaller proportion to the
actual value Of tho taxab1es in the city than ia
the ta1-lesy Of any other large city in the coun-
try. There has never been d full assessment OF
the 7a1ue Of property IN this city, nor has there
ever been more than mere approximation to
tho Talue Of two-th:rds Of the property. The
sooner there is an assessment upon actual
ga1ues, not only of property in the central parts
Of tho city, bnt all its sections, tho sooner will
there be an honest and fair distribution OF the
whole tax upon all property according to its
value, and the sooner will it be found that that
tax is neither exorbitant or oppressive.

Cow SHoT.-Saturday night COW be-
longing to AR. L. D. Sweenv came home
and MIXED and yielded ten quarts Of
milk. Sunday morning Sweeny and his
brother went into the field, west of town,
where he kept this COW and found her
lying there dead. When Sweeny told Us
this story of the sudden loss of this
valuable COW, of course we asked him
the cause of her diving. He didn't know,
he said, but thought she'd been shot,
The presumption is in favor of the sus-
pected shooting, for the reasons that the
COW was well on Saturday night, that
there is nothing about the pasture that
could poison her and cause her death
and that only two or three days ago
Sweeny and his brother both got hit
with a charge of shot fired from the gun
of o careless pot hunter, in that same
field. A COW being bigger than a man
and therefore larger mark, and this be-
ing field where shooters roam, and she
being dead, of course somebody shot
her. There can be 60 doubt in any
candid mans mind that she was shot to
death.
