Fifteen Dollars Taken from Everybody
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


Somebody has figured out the interesting
fact that the total amount of State, county,
city and town taxes collected in the United
States in 1870 was $3.50, sci 600, which was
about 81 head for the entire population.
The total amount of these taxes collected
1860 was $94, 1856, 900, which was about So a
head for the entire population. 1t cost,
therefore, more than twice as much to take
care Of man in his State, county and mu-
nicipal relations in 1870 as it did ten years
before. This does not include the Federal
taxation. The net ordinary expenditures
of the Federal Government in 1870 were
1854, 421 600, which was $3.50 q head for
the entire population. In 1860 they were
$50, 600, 900, which was S194 a head. In
1850 they were s37, 165, 900, which was ST.
go a head. In 1910 they were 1874, 139, 900,
which was 81. 40 q head. It will be seen
that while there was an increase of ID cents
in the per capita cost Of Government from
1910 to 1860, there was an increase of $2.-
SO in the rate in the last decade-the rate
being more than doubled. In this esti-
mate we do not include the annual interest
on the debt; this, added to the net ordina-
ry expenditures for 1870, would make the
per capita cost about So.

Sicilian Jealousy and Revenge.

A singular story of jealousy and revenge
comes to us from Sicily. A beautiful young
girl named Florina, who was the belle of a
travelling cilcus, in which she figured as
the lion tanner, had been for some time
receiving the attentions of an athlete be-
longing to the same troupe. BY some
means she ascertained that he was not
faithful to her, but had another lady love.
No signs, however, of her painful discovery
were allowed to escape. She still smiled
sweetly upon him, but responded coldly to
his ardent caresses. In her own bosom
she planned a terrible revenge One eve-
ming recently when the performance had
been unusually brilliant-after Florina had
whipped the lions and forced them to lie at
her feet-she called her recreant lover aside
and said to him: ''Do you still love me ?"
" Always he answered. "Do you know
that should die if you should devote your
self to another woman?'' :sWhat an
idea!'' replied the young man. "But 1
should first kill you," sand Florina. 'tAnd
how would you do that?" "Thus," cried
the girl, at the same instant pushing him
violently into the cage of the lions. They
attacked the unfortunate man at once and
tore him to pieces, while Florina urged
them on with blows of her whip.

How TO PUT CHILDREN TO BED.-Nut
with reproof for any of that days sins of
omission or commission. Take any time
but bedtime for that If you ever heard
a little creature sighins on sobbing in it's
sleep, you could never do this. Seal their
closing eye-lids with kiss and blessing.
The time will come when, all too soon. they
will lay their heads upon their pillows lack
ing both. Let them, then, at least have
this sweet memory Of a happy childhood,
OF which no future sorrow or trouble can
rob them. Give them their rosy youth.
Nor need this involve wild license. The
judicions parent will not so mistaken my
meaning. If you have ever met the man,
or the woman, whose eyes have suddenly
filed when a little child has c,ept trust
ingly 10 its mothers breast, yau may have
seen onein in whose childhood home s.dig-
nifty" and severity" stood where love and
pity should have been. Tp,insish inl,l-
gence has ruined thousamlssof children; too
much love no one. = Faaay EssyA

Early "Gray-Laws" of Virginia.

By statute of 1862, everybody was
obliged to have his child baptized by
minister of the Church of England, or be
fined two thousand pounds of tobacco.
Any dissenting minister presuming to SOL
emnize the rites of matrimony was amerced
such marriage was pronounced invalid.
All persons were forbidden to take any
journeys or do any work on the Sabbath,
except of necessity, and all persons were
ordered to attend the worship in the parish
church or chapel every Sunday, or be fined
fifty pounds of tobacco for every absence.
Quakers and other recusants, totally alb
senting themselves from the established
religious services of the parish, were fined
twenty pounds month and, in addition,
every Quaker was fined two hundred pounds
of tobacco for each occasion he was present
at meeting Of his sect. An act of i705
provided that every one who absented him
self, Or herself, from church for one month
Except Quakers, etc.) or failed to make
for every such offence the sum of five shil-
lings, or fifty pounds of tobacco, or, failing,

The Accommodations of the National
e. Grange.
From the New York Sun.


1nquisitive people are beginning to in
Guire what disposition IS made Of the funds
of the National Grange of the Order of
Patrons of Husbandry. This Grange is
located in the city of Washington, and, ac-
'cording to all accounts, its accumulations
of cash must be large. All Oranges in the
country are responsible to it !; but it's officers
do not seem to be particularly responsible
to amy one for the use they make of their
revenues. aud therefore it is quite natural
that curiosity should be aroused on the sub
ject. A Grange Master i'll the West is
reported to have said that, to the best of
his belief. the officers of the National
Grange must have received at least 1850, 900
for granting charters to subordinate Gran
ges dnring the last three years, while IL
newspaper correspondent, who bases his
calculations ON the report of the Grangers,
estimates the receipts of the chiefs of the
Order in Washington at a vastly greater
sum. In July last there were in existence
22 200 Oranges, with n total mem bership Of
over 2,000,0 ,000 At SIS for each charter,
this would give the National Grange $780,
600 for charters alone. Add to this the ten
cents annual dues received from members
in all parts of the country, amounting to
$200,0 600 a year, and the receipts from the
new Oranges which are constantly organ
izing, and the result is u grand total worth
looking after. OF course there are expenses
to be paid out of these receipts, but the
complaint is that there is Il want of definite
information as to the character of these
expenses, and there are those who are
suspicious enough to intimate that the
Washington Changers who grant charters
to their bueolic brethren have an exceed
ingly good thing of it. Of course this is a
matter in which Grangers are alone con-
cerned, and if they are satisfied with the
management of their contributions to the
National Grange, the outside world have
no reason to complain. Still, it would give
a shock to Saith in human nature if it sholld
| prove that a movement which was insti-
tuted for purposes of public reform has
