A Little Bill.

The Governor sent in yesterday a
little bill for Sl00,474 % of Morton,
Bliss and Co., of New York. calculated
up to 1st January. 1874. These bank
ers say that this is balance long past
due for losses due for loans made on
the faith Of the State. They have col
laterals. but are 10th to sacrifice them
at the low prices now prevailing in the
money market. They propose to re-
ceive in payment certificates Of State
stock. bearing seven per cent. interest,
payable 1st January, 1875, and made re-
ceivablo for taxes. They have learned
the hang of things, these Now York
bankers. The way to make any clni u
good is to convert it iuto bonds or stock
and make it receivable for taxes. +"
The tax-pnying portion Of the people
arc looked upon as 80 many doukeys to
bear Of these burdens. Verify, they
arc so patient that those who load them
seem to think they like the fun. Denied
all other virtues by those who run the
machine Of government for them, they
are conceded to bc very useful in sub
mitting to an assessment of $50. 900, 900
above the value OF their property, and
in cheerfully paying direct tax Of two
per cent. upon the exaggerated sum.

have made him eloquent, it was effect

flourish his lore of white mans gram

WoMAS's WoRK Tho variety and
extcnt of manual labor performed by
women in the exercise of trades in the
city of New York will astonish those
who have never paid attention TO the
subject. 1t is estimated that l25. 900
women and girls, or about one-eighth OF
the city's population, earn their living
in this way in New York and its imme.
diate vicinity; Of this number 25, 600 are
children. Over 1,S00 milliuers are en-
ploycd in 400 aud odd shops, and some
$4,000 moe in making artticiul flowers
and curling ornamental feathers, a large
portion Of the so.callcd Paris flowers
being made by their skillful fingers a

,ncled jewelry and in making the most
delicate machinery OF watches. An
army of 10000 moro manufacture hoop

Of the omployments which we have emu
ncratcd, houscholders everywhere com.
plain OF the want Of weli-traincd and ef.

service Is not only easier than the severe
labor and close confinement of many of
the trades in which women arc EN-.
ploycd, but the wages are much better.
The pay Of an operative is nominally
larger, but from this must be deducted
room rent and beard, which usually
swallow up the pay entirely, while these
