TAxEs.-By our telegraphic dispatches
we learn that the Supreme Court of Cali.
fornla has deciled that the tax levies for
1928 were unconstitutional. This may
cause very serious difficulties in the way
OF holding property purchased at tax
sales for those years. There is also some
doubt whether the State and counties
would not be held liable to repay the
taxes so illegally collected.

The railroad fight in California daily
gets hotter. The company, by the pro-
fuse use of money and intimidation, are
gaining strength in the Legislature, but
before the people its condition is hope
less. No railroad man can hope for any
office in the gift of the people of that
State. The sturdy farmers of the valleys
and the miners in the mountains are
united in resisting to the death the con.
dition OF serfdom to which the railroad is
trying to reduce free people.

ALABAMA SENAToRsHIP. We see by our
kilograms that the Senate Committee on
elections has decided to report in favor
of the claims of Spencer to the seat of
Senator from Alabama. What else could
one expect? Tim Sykes was entitled to
the seat. He was legally elected; but what
does that matter? Spencer is m AID.
ministration man, a carpet Dagger and an
adept in addition, division and silence.
What chance had plain, straightforward,
honest man like Sykes against an oppo-
nent of such varied accomplishments as
was this man Spencer? None in the
world. What Congressional commit
tee, OF the real Simon Pure stripe, would
not do in the way of meanness isn't
worth thinking about
HE telegraph again repeats, this time
positively, that Richardson is about to
resign his position as Secretary of the
Treasury, 1t would be blessing to get
rid of him, only as Grant has such a
happy knack of selecting men that have
not the slightest claims to or qualitica-
tons for the Office to which they are
nominated that the chances are that he
will choose a worse man than Richard
son. Boutwell, was bad, Richardson was
worse, and we will probably see the super
lative degree of disqualification as
Grants next choice.

The Mole.

The mole is frst-class engineer
His house under the ground is con-
structed with just as much system as a
citadel or a castle. There is a central
house, from which run several roads /;
there are galleries around it which con-
uect with the main portion by roads !;
far below the ground they have dug q
large hunting domain, with great
highway leading from the fortress
through it. Being very particular in
the rearing of its babies, it builds nur-
sery at some distance from its citadel,
where it can educate them in quiet
There is plenty of room for them to
play, in the numerous roads, crossing
each other at various angles. He bores
with his feet, the two fore feet being
shaped like hand, and scoops out the
dirt and throws it behind him as he
advances. His soft, velvet fur does
not adhere to dirt, and his very tough
skin prevents any sensitiveness in rub
bing against the close fitting hole he
has bored. The mole takes night walks
in the garden after snails, which he de-
yours. He is thirsty animal, and con-
structs several tanks to hold water in
his underground home. Brighten him
when he is at home and it is said he
will trot as fast as horse over the very
long highways or galleries he has built
in his subterra mean retreat. He Injuries
root crops and builds up mounds in the
meadow against the farmers oft re-
peated protests but after all the mole
is kind to his family, the best of faith
ers and very affectionate husband he
will defend them even at the risk of
his life. A splendid example to the
highest forms of the animal kingdom.

Bazaine's Imprisonment.

The Moniteur Universal says: I'VE
learn that the request made by the ex-
marshal's wife to be allawed to share
her husbands captivity has been favor
ably received by the Government. The
buildings contained within the enclos-
ure of the fort which commands the
lie Sainte Marguerite are arranged in
such a manner that it is possible, at
little cost, to adapt them for the ac-
commodation of the Marshal's family
without any Infringement of the rules
for the internal discipline of State
prisons. A special wing of the build
ing will be devoted to the use of the
Marshal and his family. A good sized
garden, which extends down to the
glacis, will be surrounded by a wall,
so as to satisfy the exigencies of prison
rules and the laws of humanity. The
Marshals wife, children and servants
will be able at all times to pass freely
in any part of the house or garden, but
all will be required to observe strictly
the regulations laid down. The pris-
oner himself will also be required to
pledge his honor not to abuse in any
way the facilities granted for allowing
his family to modify the severity of his
Imprisonment. Col. Villette has re-
turned to Paris to make the arrange
ments for the trasfer of his family to
Sainte Marguerite, and has, on behalf
of Nine. Bazaine, expressed to NJ.
Baragnon her gratitude for the con-
cession granted to her, and has, on be-
half of the Marshal and of all his
family, given the required pledge to
observe all the regulations laid down
for their governance.

LONDON FoGs.-The cause of the

LONDON FOGs.-The cause of the
London iogs so notorious for their Oc-
casional pitchy blackness, is thus spec
ulated about in an English paper: A
London fog does not in general extend
much beyond the height of the houses.
During its prevalence one may, by as
cending st. Paul's cathedral; obtain a
clear atmosphere, while underneath the
dark vapor is rolling like sea, thro'
which the spires and steeples rise like
the masts of stranded wrecks. London
fog is net equal in density in all places;
long, depressed line marks the course
Of the Thames, and the deepest dark
ness hangs over the most crowded
neighborhoods. Before the act of
Parliament was passed requiring the
London factories to consume their
smoke, the fog was particularly dense
in the localities of the great breweries.
The hight Of the fog is greatly deter
mined by the nature of the subsoil. If
it is clay it stands high, aud low if it
be of sand or gravel. Defrance states,
in his treatise ou vapor, that fog Is Oc
casioned by descending current of air,
which beats down the smoke and rolls
it over the surface of the earth. At
this time a.current of air may be OBJ
served to descend through the chin
neys which have no fire, producing a
strong odor of SCOT; thus proving the
existence of descending currents in the
atmosphere. Therefore, if the smoke
of tens of thousands of chimneys be
discharged into the air, and there min
gled with watery vapor, and then again
forced to descend, a dense fog must
necessarily ensue.

Tennessee Finances.

The record of the Democratic party
in Tennessee, since its accession to
power few years since. is a very proud
one. The Radical party had, in four
years Of legislation, almost doubled the
State debt, besides stealing the school
fund. Bonds were given for all man
ner of wild cat railway schemes, most
Of them svindles, and forty-tEo or
three millions were the figures that
represented what we owed of floating
or bonded debt. Of course we were
restiye under such load, and know.
ing how it had been piled up, without
reference to the interest of the people,
and only with view to help cormorant
spectators, some few of our presses,
and not few of our leading citizens
favored partial or entire reputation
of all that had been created of it since
1865. But better eounsels prevailed,
and wise policy instituted by the last
legislature. and carried out in spirit
and letter By Gov. Brown and Comp
troller Burch, has reduced the debt
one-half, and placed our credit on a
par with that of the most favored
States. In the accomplishment of this
the railroads of the State played no
unimportant part. They redeemed
with remarkable promptness their in
debtedness to the State, and still con-
tinue to do so as fast as opportunity
offers. Would that our sister States
of the South could have done as well,
or were as well off to day.-Memphis

to casual observer that these panic
prices have become very much discon-

no superior, either in this market or
elsewhere, for cheapness or durability,

aged goods. but nice, new. fresh goods,
bought from manufacturers direct, at
lowest cash prices and sold at as short
profits as any living man can offer.
Since the opening of the fall trade
it has been, and will continue to be.
my constant aim to sell goods at prices
commensurate with the wants Of ny
customers. Asevidence of this, many
of those who have traded with me this
fall will testify that my goods are sold
at less prices than many of those who
sell at the Panic Prices" AT Cost"

simply because I sell superior line of

fore you leave Clarksville to buy cheap

Tennessee Taking the Lead.

Says the Pittsburg Commercial Of
all the distinctively Southern States,
Tennessee would appear to be making
the most rapid and thorough progress
in the essential elements of enduring
prosperity and greatness. 1t has the
best school system of all the Southern
States, and provision is made whereby
every child between six and sixteen
years of age can have at least five
months schooling each year, while the
educational advantages for all are
much better than they were for white
children before the war. The founda-
tions of Vanderbilts Institution have
already been laid at Nashville; and
the State is erecting capaeious and
comfortable asylums for the blind and
dumb. Life was never more secure in
Tennessee than now, and public sentl-
ment throughout the State has made
great progress for the better. At the
close of the war Tennessee accepted the
situation of good faith, con6ning it.
self with energy to the discharge ofits
new opportunities. Providence helps
those who help themselves. Let the
impoverished Southern neighbors of
Tennessee heed and profit by the les
son.
