ought to be regarded as companion Plan

War and Taxes.

Sydney Smith describes, as only sgd
ney Smith could, the consequences of
being too fond of "glory. And by
{" glory" he meant war, with all the at
tendant and consequent evils We
can inform Jonathan what are the in
evitable consequences of being too fond
of glory. Taxes upon every article
which enters into the mouth or covers
the back or is placed under the foot
taxes upon every thing which it is
pleasant to hear, see, feel, smell, taste
taxes upon everything on earth and the
waters under the earth on every thing
that comes from abroad or is grown at
home taxes on the raw material, taxes
on every fresh value that is added to it
by the industry of man, taxes on the
sauce that pampers mans appetite, and
the drug that restores him to health
on the ermine which decorates the
Judge and the rope which hangs the
criminal on the poor mans salt and
the rich mans spice, on the brass nails
of the coffin and the ribbons of the
bride, at bed or board, couchant or
levant, we must pay. The school boy
whips his taxed top, the beardless
youth manages his taxed horse, with a
taxed bride, on taxed road, and the
dying Englishman, pouring his medi-
cine which has paid seven per cent
into spoon that has paid fifteen per
cent, filings himself back upon his
chintz bed, which has paid twenty-five
per cent, and expires in the arms of an
apothecary, who has paid license of a
hundred pounds for the privilege of
putting him to death. His whole prop
erty is then Immediately taxed from
two to ten per cent. Besides the pro-
bate, large fees are demanded for bury
ing him in the chancel, his virtues are
handed down to posterity on taTed mar
bic, and he is then gathered to his
fathers to be taxed no more"

Government Buildings.

One of the fruitful causes of expendi-
ture by the last Congress was the APP
preparation of over S12, 900, 900 for the
erection of public buildings for Gov
eminent use in various cities and towns.
In the face, however, of this fact, a
much larger movement in that direction
has already been made in the present
Congress. 1t was ascertained at the
Capitol to-day that there were over 40
bills pending before the committee for
the erection of public edifces In the fol-
lowing cities and towns, and involving
an expenditure of nearly $50, 600, 900 :
Austin, Tyler, Dallas, Galveston, Hous-
ton and Jefferson, Texas Leavenworth
and Topeka, Kan. Kansas City,
Jefferson City and ST. Joseph, Mo. !;

Sinking of the VirginiuS.

Lieut.. Com. Haswell, of the Ossipee,
making the following statement con-
corning the loss of the Virginius The
Ossipee left the Tortugas, with the
Virginius in tow, on the morning of the
18th of December. They had fair
weather until the afternoon of Satur-
day, the following day, when gale
sprang up. They continued to have bad
weather, and the Virginius signaled
that she was leaking badly. Capt.
Walters, therefore, determined to shape
his course for Charleston, s. c., but as
they got into smoother water the Vir-
ginius behaved better and the water
was kept out of her fire-room. On the
morning of Christmas Day, the severe
weather having continued, the Virginius
was again leaking as badly as ever, and
the vessel put into Frying-Pan Shoals,
about ten miles south of Cape Fear
light, where smoother water could be
obtained. Here the vessels came to an
anchor, Capt. Walters hoping that the
Virginius would ride out the gale. Be-
fore daylight the next morning friday,
Commander Woodrow signaled with
lights that the Virginius was leaking
rapidly, with her fires out and the
pumps stopped, and that the crew
wished to be taken Off The boats were
lowered from the Ossipee at daylight
and at o'clock in the morning all on
board of the Virginius were transferred
to the former vessel. AS a heavy sea
was running, the work of removing the
crew was one of much danger and diff
Guilty, and, therefore, no lives were
riskey in endeavoring to save their per-
sonal effects or any other property on
the Virginius. The hawser of thesVir-
ginius was cut and buoy attached to
mark her position in case she sank out
of sight.
The Ossipee remained at anchor dur
ing the day, and at quarter past 4
o'clock in the afternoon the Virginius,
which had been gradually settling, went
to the bottom. She sank in eight faith
oms of water, and the tops of her masts
remain above the surface.

How the Lshantees Fight.
lAshantee Cor. New York HERALD


The enemy lay in wait in the middle
of what they call here bush, but which
should be more appropriately called a
Jungle it is SO dense in some places
that ore wonders at first sight how
naked people have the temerity to risk
their bodies in what must necessarily
punish their unprotected cuticles most
painfully. This jungle probably COW
ers many hundred acres, literally chok-
ing the earth with its density and luxu-
rance. 1t admits every kind of
shrub, plant, and flower into a close
companionship, where they interminsle
each others luxurious stalks, where
they twist and Irvine in each others
long, slender arms about one another,
and defy the utmost power of the sun to
penetrate the leafy tangle they have
reared 10 and Is feet above the dark
Garth. This is the "bush" into which
the Ashantee warriors creep in on all
fours and lie in wait in the gloomy re-
cesses for the enemy. 1t was in such a
locality as this that Sir Garnet found
the Ashantees, and where he suffered
such losses in his staff and officers. In
tit the sonorous sounds of Danish mus
kerry awoke the echoes few of the En-
glish suspected the foe so near. Until
they themselves betrayed their presence
the English might have searched in
vain for the hidden enemy.

The Milan Cathedral.

OF the Cathedral of Milan it is diff
cult by words to convey any idea it is
so vast, so complicated, so magnificent.
The interior is deeply impressive five
naves, divided by fifty-two gigantic col
umns, from which the majestic arches
gracefully spring to support roof that
looks as though the clouds might rest
upon it the vast dome lifting itself far
up towards heaven-in the dim distance
OF which is a solitary lamp, SO placed as
to throw all its light upon blood
stained spike, which the devout Cath
Ole believes is one of the identical nails
driven into the blessed hands of Our
Lord.
So great is the area that many SER
vices may be going on at the same time
without confusion. We actually wit
messed marriage at one altar, bap-
tism at another, and a funeral might
have taken place at third, and mass
been celebrated at fourth and, in
addition, there was crowd of wonder
ing and admiring spectators, all with
abundant room and space. "a
The material of the edifce is white
marble, and it looks like a mountain of
stone, cut into a labyrinth of spires,
pinnacles, flying buttresses, and statu-
nary. The roof is forest of statuary
and pinnacles it seems to me over
crowded. Think of 1000 statues in one
building Florence Letter. 80
