From the New Orleans Times.
Men whose taxes foot up from ST.
! 600 to $4,000 each year can get two
per cent per month for it, or use it in
even more lucrative ways, while the
interest on their taxes is nothing in
comparison. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars are retained in this way. A
notable instance of this practice is
the case of q colored millionaire, who
has lodged paying his taxes until
now they amount to nearly 500, 900,
! due to the city and State. This man
! is a character for a romance. He Is
so abstemiOus that he NAV be called a
miser. He disdains rest, and with
wonderful activity works on in 4 small
and obscure one-stOry house, remote
/ from the business portion of the CITY.
This building is his Office and his
home. 1t is dingy and dilapidated
on the outside. Within q kind of lob
/ by, parti.ioned off from the main
room is the miser's Office. A desk
| full of pigeon-holes crammed with
papers, an iron safe and a chair or
! two, constitute the only furniture.
/ Beyond, are the rooms where he lives
with his mother, a woman almost a
[ hundred years old. 1et tins man, so
unpretentious in his business sur
roundings, has nearly a hundred ten
ements scattered all over the city,
which bring him anywhere from $40
to $500 each per month. He owns
over $50 different properties, estima-
/ ted to be worth at least 500, 900, be-
\ sides bonds and cash to a large
amount. This man, however, never
pays any taxes, except when he dis
poses Of a piece of property, and
/ then only on that property. In the
4 Sheriflis Office are tax writs against
him dating back twelve years, and to
/ some of them are attached as much
as six yards OF foolscap, filed
throughout with cIosely-written de
scriptions of his properties. The
reason for avoiding his annual taxes
! is a speculative one. The city charges
/ him ten per cent. interest," on his mon
ey, which he never loans except on
mortgage, at from eighteen to twenty
four per cent. Every tenth year, also,
the taxes Of one year are wiped out

Love AND PAssIoN.-I think the av-

the average mind in its pictures of
true love. 1t makes the tender glow
and glamour which related natures
feel when they meet, true love. II
Is no such thing; it is true passion,
that is all; blessed power purely and
rightly used, but no more true love
than those little hooks and tendrills

true love grows out OF reverence and
Difference, loyalty aud courtesy, good
service given and taken, dark days
and bright days, sorrow and joy. Ii

following has head decidedly level:
Gentlemen, there is one thing about
drinking. I almost wish every man

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-The annual

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The comp
troIler of currency, in his report, says
the present financial crisis may, in q
great degree, be attributed to the rela-
tions of the banks in the city of New
York with the transactions of the stock
board. More than onc-fOurth, and in
many instances really One-third, of
the bills receivable of the banks since
the late war having consisted of de-
mands and loans to brokers aud mem
bers of the stock board, which trans
actions have been tended to impede
and unsettle, instead of facilitating,
the legitimate business interest of the
whole country.

We doubt if the 'sannals of the
law" so often referred to by legal

death sentence than the following,
which was delivered lately by

The Fair Sex.

That merry old bachelor, the Pope of
Rome-a handsome specimen of we'll
preserved gentleman he is, too-takes
a new view of the human race, as fol-
lows:
A short time since, when taking his
customary walk, attended by his suite,
the Pope halted before an aviary filed
with rare birds, among them a magnifi-
cent peacock, which, from his brilliant
scarlet plumage, has received the SOU
briuuet of "The Cardinal" The bird,
which is quite tame, stepped forth from
his cage, and advanced with slow and
stately pace toward the group, needless
of the Injunction of his master "Come
on don't keep the Pope waiting" Ar
irving in front of the Holy Father he
stood still, with head erect and con-
scious air, as if saying: Admire
me-" AS the latter was receiving his
need of petting at the hands of the
Pope, the peahen came up i'll her turn,
but modestly remained in the rear of her
mate. as if cognizant of her want of
brilliancy. His Holiness, turning tow
ard his suite, observed: "Since there
are no ladies present, L may venture to
call your attention to the fact that in
the entire animal tribe, whether volatile,
quadruped, or reptile, the male is ever
the handsomer. 1t is onlyin the human
race that the female claims the palm of
beauty, having the pretension to style
themselves the fair sex ; but" added
the Holy Father, laughingly, striking
his chest with his hand meanwhile, cit
is all the mistake of their vanity; we
men are the fair sex.

tered, and the operations were success
full, but unluckily one of the patients
recovered from the anasthasia too quick

Some time afterward the same oculist

but he respectfully declined the pro-
posal, saying that he must draw the line
somewhere, and he drew it at a grizzly
bear.

Manifest Absurdities.

Is there any good reason why the dictates Of
common sense should be disregarded in medical
practice2 Surely not. Yet how little they are
sometimes set at naught in the treatment Of dys-
pepsia, liver complaint, constipation, nervous
prostration and general debility. How often are
powerful purgatives, emetics and salivants given
in cases of ind geston, bilious collie and costive-
ness, when the disease has already robbed the
patient Of strength he needs to combat with the
attack. The sbsurdity of giving facilitating medi-
cines to sick people who are too weak already, is
so manifest that it is astonishing how any sane
man can believe in such practice. The rational
course under such circumstances is to administer
n tonic and regulating medicine, and the expe-
rience of a quarter of a century has proved that

TOBACCO smoke is principally COM
posed of ammonia, pyridinei picoline,
iutidine, collidine, fermic, acetic, pro-

and creosote. We mention this simply
because there are many people who are
very particular to say just what is proper
and right, and who would regret exceed
ingly having said: "Is smoke objection
able to your" when they should have
said: "Is ammonia, pyridine, picoline,
lutidine, collidine, fermic, acetic, pro-
picnic, butyric, valerianic, carbolic acid
and creosote Objectionable to you?" This
form of query will, we imagine, become
quite popular.
