A NEG u MILLIONAIRE.

Men whose taxes foot up from one
Thousand dollars TO ten thousand dollars
ch year can GET two per q nt per
month for it, or use it i'll even more
lucrative ways, Will the interest on
their taxes is nothing in comparison
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are r.
tailed in this way. 4 notable instance
OF this practice is the "ase Of c00red
millionaire of New Orleans, who has
lodged paying hi, taxes until now they
amount to nearly one hundred thousand
dollars due to the ely and state Tnls
M N is char ieter Tor a romance He
is so abstemjnous th,t he may lie called
miser. He disdaius rest, aud with
wonderful activity works gu in small
and obscure one story house, remote
from the business portion Of the city.
The building is his Office and his
home. 1t is dingy and dilapidated on
the outside. Within kind of lobby,
partitioned off from the main room is
the miser's office. A desk full Of pigeon
holes crammed with papers, an iron safe
aud chair or two, constitute the only
furniture. Beyond are the rooms where
ne lives with his mother, woman
about q hundred years old. Yet this
man, SO nnpretentlous i'll his business
surroundings, has nearly hundred
tenements, scattered all over the city,
which bring him auywher- from twenty
dollars to three hundred dollars each per
month. He owns over two hundred diff
ferent properties, estimated to be worth
at least seven hundred thousand dollars,
besides bonds and cash to large
amount.
This man, however, never pays any
taxes, ex :ept when he disposes of piece
OF property, aud then only on that pro-
perty. In the sheriffs office are tax
writs against him dating back twelve
years. and to some of them are attached
as mu ii as six yards OF foolscrap, filled
throughout with closely written descrip-
tons of his property. The reason for
avoiding his annual taxes is specua-
tive one. he city charges him ten per
cent interest on his money, which he
never loans except on mortgage, and he
ctn make from eighteen to twenty-foNr
per cent. Every tenth year also the
taxes of one year are wiped out by pro-
scription. = New Orleans Times.

Report of the Examining Committee
of Oahu College.

The object of the Committee in the following
Annual Report has been to offer friendly sugges-
ton and to avoid lndiscriminate praise. Such
commentator as is given. although it may be
expressed in sparing terms has been well earned
In the short time permitted for the examination
of so many classes. it is not easy to learn tue
merits of all the pupils Frequently, time did
not serve 10 examine all the members Of class
and probably some were omitted who would have
done better than some who reciled. II Is recon-
mended that monthly written examinations be
introduced. and that the Annual Examiners be
requested TO prepare in advance printed questions
for the several classes to answer in writing. This
method will test oil the pupils alike, and if COM
bined with oral questions by instructors and the
Examiners, will be found more satisfactory TO all
concerned.
1t Is apparent that fair average progress in
siudies has been made. The classes in Algebra
aud Arithmetic. and particularly in Laun, Greek,
Comic Sections, and History, appeared we'll and
have formed accurate habits OF study. The class
IN English History did very we'll but il seemed
smaller than the importance of the study de-
mands. 1t is suggested that more time be given
by all the pupils to the elements Of the English
language. and that general exercises would be
useful in Enumeration. Pronunciation, English
Criticism, aud also in Mental Arithmetic and
Mental Algebra Specimens of Penrnanship
we're not shown, and the Committee cannot re-
port whether that branch receives the attention
it deserves. The instruction 10 Music has been
excellent The Gymnastc Exercise appeared to
be too long. Frequent rest and frequent change
in the sets of muscles which are exercised, are
requisite. The theory Of violent OrlOng continued
muscular exercise is now generally disapprOved,

Which, at the latest previous advices, appeared

finding that the majority in the Assembly de-
manded of him more than he could concede re-

under the late Empire, who at once accepted the
the position. The choice was made by a majori-
" of the assembly. the conservative or Mon
archst psrty only voting, the Republicans de-
clning TO vote. The present majority is believed
not to represent the popular sentiment in France
which has become more thoroughly republican
since the election took place two years since.
1t was the wish of Theirs and the Republicans to
appeal to the people and elect a new assembly.
But the party. which held a small majority Of
about % in house of seven hundred members.
refused to make any change. As President Nc
Mahon is thorough Monarchist, it is not i'm
probable that the government OF France may
soon drift into monarchy despite the popular
choice. That affairs are not quietly settled in
France is evident from the feeling of dislrust in
Germany, which moves very cautiously in the
matter OF recognizing the new administration.
