Interesting to note that when Franklin

on the 10th of November, and it was
late in December before the ship was
fairly In the channel. When he returned
on the Berkshire, in his twentieth year,

Taxes and Corruption.

A growl from one of those "resisters" who
object to " taxation without representation"
not citizen:
How is it about the collection of rents by
the Sheriff for taxes? Must it be after due
process of a suit, Judgment and seizure or
may he simply send a notice by an insolent
deputy, who roughly demands a doctors
certificate when informed lady is too i'll to
be seen in person, and proceed to collect the
rent Mill Mill. A SUFFERER.
The law makes the publication of taxes
due the citation to defendants. After this
these notices are filed in court, and there
upon judgment is rendered. Before any sci
zure can be made it is necessary that notice
of judgment be served upon the delinquent.
Deputy sheritfs ought not to require the
presence of a sick lady to make a service, as
it is just as legal if made upon any person
over fifteen years Of age at the domicile
when the party is absent. After notice of
Judgment an appeal lies to the Supreme
Court.

THAT TEA PARTY.

Considerable sport has been had in the

at the expense of some of their friends.
known grocery store, We're found what was
supposed to be fifty caddies of tea. While
unloading at the Sheritf's warehouse, it was
discovered that one of the caddies contained
only sawdust, consequently all of them
We're bored-and found to contain the same
material. The uniform appearance of the
cadtlies, as if in original packages, would
have deceived the most experienced con-
noisseur.
On frequent visits to the warehouse the
keeper was importuned by request of the
visitors to inform them of the day of sale
of this tea to give them an opportunity to
buy.
Knowing the little value of the contents,
the good-natured warehouseman offered to
donate a caddy to one of his visitors, pro-
vided he would take it Immediately away
and not expose the removal to ou siders.
Elated at the gift, the visitor (well known

ladder and selected one of the top caddies,
bearing tie brand of the best tea, carefully
wrapped it up with paper and string, and
carried to the nearest drinking corner, in
viting all present to follow him to take a
drink, and there called his friends up to the
bar.
The friends, learning of the present, sng-
gested- that he should relinquish few
pounds to each. which was cheerfully &C
coded to. On leaving the saloon boy was
called to take the caddy up town. Rain
was then pouring in torrents, and the re-
cipient was seen rushing up Royal street
holding fast to the umbrella over the box of
tea on the boys shoulders to prevent injury
from rain. Arriving at his office, the first
thought was to have it weighed, and taking
it to one of our well-known Camp street
groceries. it was found to contain twenty,
two pounds.
A by-stander and friend of Mr. Recipi-
emit in noticing the brand on the box request
ed few pounds, his family being extremely
fond of tea. The request was not refu led,
and no sooner said, the box was opened and
the tea looked for. Percoiving the sawdust
it was first supposed that it was so placed
to protect the valuable contents but words
cannot picture the countenances of the by
ISLANDERS and the kind recipient when he
reached the middle of the box and found
nothing but samdust.
The tea connoisseur not willing to be out
done, and remembering his promises to his
friends at the corner saloon, carefully put
mp packages to answer his promises. The
joke took we'll in the Court House, so far,
but next day it was Imaginable to hear re-
lated the reception by the Madam at dinner
time of two or three of the members Of the
legal profession, especially one of the judges.
Our newspaper friend has the soubriqxet of
Tea.
The Sheriff has few more boxes left, re-
serving them for Dan Rice's next visit.

The Teachers.

If Growler only had the power and the
muscular ability, he would walk up to the
Treasurer's office and make that gentleman
settle with the teachers. 1t is disgrace to
civilization that tn, ,se who educate and care
for the future of our children, are treated in
the manner they are. No other country
would tolerate such thing for an instant.
Every petty officer can receive his monthly
salary sooner than the teachers. The
change, however, will come soon.

STAND FROM UNDER. As they grow
older, Messrs. b. II. Hill and A. H. Ste-
phens, OF Georgia. seem to intensity in the
ill-will toward each other, engen,lered in
their earlier days. Mr. Hill delivered an
address before the Southern Historical So
c,sty Of Georgia about two months ago.
Mr.. Stephens considered himself assailed
by certain remarks in that address and
rushed into print, bitterly denonncing Mr.
Hill, and charging him with "sllameless-
ness, impndence, effrontery, shameless
facedness, fslsehoOd," etc and as man
who has exceeded Barriere, the French
Jacobin, and Munchausen combined, as .
falsifier.

told the truth, accept nfamy. II he has
told u falsehood he must accept the same
penalty" In regard to tins address, Mr.,
Hill closes his reply to MIR. Stephens as fol-
lows:
every statement of fast in the address
is true, and will return to the subject on
it's merits hereafter. But for the present
address myself to this issue Of veracity in
the NEST positive form. in which it has been
made, aud | meet the accredited leader of

Mr.. Grouler-As there is so much stealing
going on, will you have the kindness to pub
fish my ways in keeping thieves out of the
premises. My way is this: have five IN
tries which consist in doors; every night be-
fore going to bed, secure my doors, then
put a wooden chair against it; but in such
a position, that when any outside person
opens the door four or five inches, the CHAIR
Will tumble over; beside this, put a tin
plate on the chair. Now you can judge what
internal noise it will make in falling.
