New Orleans Taxes.

The New Orleans Times says that
men whose taxes foot up from 81 900 to
$40, 900 each year, can get two per cent.
a 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 a colored millionaire, who
has lodged paying his taxes until they
now amount to nearly 800, 900 due to
the city an the state. This man is 8
character for a romance. He is SO alb
stemious that he may be called a miser.
He disdains rest, and with wonderful
activity works on in a small and obscure
oDe-story house, remote from the bust
ness portion of the city. This building
is his office and his home. It is dingy
and diIapidated on the outside. With
in, 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, and a CHAIR or two
constitute the only furniture. Beyond
are the rooms where he lives with his
mother, a woman almost hundred
years old. Yet this man, so unpreten-
| tious in his business surroundings, has
nearly a hundred tenements scattered
all over the city, which bring him any
where from $40 to $500 per month.
He owns over $50 different proper
ties, estimated to be worth at least
500, 900, besides bonds and cash to a
large amount. This man, however,
never pays any taxes, except when he
disposes of a piece of property, and
then only on that property. In the
sheIiff's Office are tax writs against him
| dating back twelve years, and to some
! of them are attached as much as six
yards of foOlscap filled throughout
with closely written descriptions of his
/ properties. The reason for avoiding
his annual taxes Is a speculative one.
The city charges him ten per cent. in
terest, and on his money, which he
never loans except on mortgage, he can
make from eighteen to twenty-four per
cent. Every tenth year also the taxes
of one year are wiped out by prescrip-
tion.

Why the Government is Paying Out
Silver.

silver.
The director of the mint makes the
following statement of the purpose OF
the government in paying out silver
coin: As in other countries where gold
is the standard, or measure of value,
silver coins are over-vaIued for the pur-
pose of rendering them inexportable.
They are manufactured and issued on
government account, the law, however,
placing, directly or indirectly, limit
on the issue to prevent redundancy.
If issued in times Of specie payment
beyond the requirements of the public
for change, such coin will not maintain
their purchasing power with standard
coin. Owing to various causes in this
or other countries, silver has declined
in value to a point at which the govern
ment can purchase it with gold, manu-
facture it into small coin and pay it out
at fair profit. The government has
recently purchased quantity of silver
bullion sufficient for its purposes, at
1924 cents per standard ounce, and will
manufacture it into coin at fixed legal
rate, at 124 and four-tenths cents per
ounce, the differences between the pur-
chasing and issuing rate being within a
fraction of u cents per ounce, or about
ten and half per cent. on gold coin
paid in the purchase. This operation
is believed to be a more profitable one
for the treasury, and also more advan-
tageous to the public in the present con-
dition of the money market, than the
sale of gold for legal tender notes, and
is not a scheme for the resumption of
specie payments, but simply a compli-
ance with the mint laws. A dollar in
United States currency will purchase a
little more gold in the market than
dollar of small silver coin. The dollar
will therefore soon find its level, and
unless there be a rise in both the prices
of gold and silver, small coins must cir
cuIate concurrently with paper money.
The government has in possession of
the assistant treasurer about five hun
dred thousand dollars in silver coin,
and at the mint and assay offices, in sill
yer bullion and coin, about g, 900, 900.
This stock is ample for the present.
This mode of paying out silver coin
will be continued until circumstances
shall dictate a contrary course as pro-
per. The government will exact the
full seigniorage required by law, but
will not undertake to control the dis
position of coin after it is paid out
Coin will then become the property of
holders, who may do what they please
with it. This course was not decided
upon until it had been fully considered
by the secretary of the treasury. Out

How Memphis Looks.

Some parts of the city are nearly alb
soIutely abandoned. You can walk
square after square, day and night,
without finding a soul to talk to,
without finding an open door, or seeing
a light or any other signs of life.
Death and fright have carried or driven
the people all away. An owner of
property in what is called the infected
district, directed his agent, as matter
of charity, not to call on his tenants for
pay on the usual day, and sometime af-
ter, when going through the neighbor-
hood, it was found that all his houses
were empty. Those who had not been
taken by the plague had been driven of
by terror. Business is at a perfect
standstill, when, had it not been for
the.epidemic, Memphis would now be IN
the flush of trade and commercial ac-
tivity. A large proportion of the Prl-
vate residences are closed, giving those
a funereal appearance which. even have
had no such sad occaion OF mourning
within their walls. Most of them,
however, are associated IN the minds OF
the citizens with scenes of disease and
death. Very few ladies are met on the
streets, save those wearing the badge Of
some charitable society, or the weeds
of mourning. The street cars are never
crowded, generally having but one or
two passengers, and are scarcely more
numerous than hearses. Theaters, of
course, are all closed, and so, too, are
more than two-thirds of the bar-roOms.

HONESTY AN ACQUIRED QUALTY.-
What makes a man honest? Honesty
is not a natural virtue man must be
drilled to it. 1t is after a man has
looked at temptation when he has been
put TO the proof, that he is to be judged.
There is not a farmer on Long island
that is as honest as the men in Wall
street. Why? Because these men are
old veterans. The old farmer is as
good as men go, but he would probably
break down at the first offer. I asked a
friend, not long ago, who was giving mo
a sad story of the purchasable values Of
different members Of society in the leg
islature how it was with farmers.
" Bless your soul, said he, they are
the cheapest stuff we buy IN the legisla-
ture. I am not up for election, just
now, and therefore am not obliged to
call farmers the "bone and sinew of the
country. Henry Ward BeecheT.

AUTUMN.

'Tis the golden gleam OF an autumn day,
With the soft rain raining as if in play;
And a tender touch upon everything,
As if autumn remembered the days Of spring.
In the listening woods there is not breath
70 shake their gold to the sward beneath;
And glow as if sunshine upon them lies,
Though the sun is hid in the shadowed skies.
The cocks clear crow from the farmyard comes,
The mufied bell from the belfry booms,
And faint and dim, from far away,
Come the voices Of children in happy play.
Ger the mountains the white rain draws its vel
And the black rocks, cawing, across them sail,
While nearer the swoOping swallows skim
Der the steel-gray rivers fretted brim.
No sorrow upon the landscape weighs.
No grief for the vanQuished summer days,
But sense Of peaceful and calm repOse,
Like that which age in its autumn knows.
The spring-time longings are past and gone,
The passions Of summer no longer are known,
The harvest is gathered, and autumn stands
Serenely thoughtful, with folded hands.
Over all is thrown memorial hue,
A glory ideal the real ne'er knew;
For memory shifts from the past its pain,
And suffers its beauty alone to remain.
With half smile and with half sigh
It ponders the past that has hurried by;
SEES it, and feels it, and loves it all,
Content il has vanished beyond recall.
o glorious autumn. thus serene,
Thus living and loving all that has been
Thus calm and contented let me be
When the autumn of age shall come to me.
