Rescued from the lee,

BALTIMORE, March 29.-The Sun Of
this morning publishes an interesting
story from one Of the men rescued from
the ice off the coast of Newfoundland
and brought to this port yesterday by
the steamer Nuremberg. The party are
all Irishmen, or Of Irish descent, and
comprised nearly the entire able bodied
men Of the population of the little town
of St. Mary's, Newfoundland. When
returning to shore on the evening Of the
day on which they boarded the ice-bound
brig, they found that the ice had parted
about a mile from shore, leaving a space
of half a mile Of clear water. With
night came on a storm of rain and Sleet,
and finally snow, incapacitating several
of the party, and when morning dawned
seven corpses we're counted. A heavy
mass Of ice twenty feet square hoated
near, upon which nine Of the party got
hoping that it would drift toward the
shore, and that they could thus save
themselves, but when it had aoated
about three hundred yards it grounded
and the unfortuuetes remained upon il
three days, during which time six o.
them died. All in the way of food they
had in that time was a small white fish
which was frozen in the ice. The eighteen
men remaining after the nine hoated of
made their way back TO the abandoned
brig. All expected to die in her; som'
of them had lost their lenses befor'
reaching her. The brig moved in the ic'
for a week in sight of land, and the fish
ermen were on her ten days. The mar
rator says be has family Of six children
and some of those who died leave fami
lies equally as large. The ten men will
be taken in charge by the British Consu
to-day and sent home.

can Hefress

From the Arcadian.l
There has been a pretty piece of scan
dal in Nice this year. About six months
ago two young Italian gentlemen of
rank came to Nice and made themselves
very conspicuous in society. They were
handsome, elegant in their manners,
we'll dressed, and very amusing. One
was named Marquis Laureati, the other
Count Uggolino. The other day Uggo-
limo received an anonymous letter, tell
ing him that unless he sent 500 francs to
the p~ostofice to the writer, certain secrets
of his life would be published which
would render his immediate withdrawal
from Nice imperative. The noble Count
took the letter to the chief of police,
who told him to send a bank note to the
address given, which he did. A detec
tive was on hand, and Immediately
seized upon the person who asked for
the letter, who, to the surprise of every,
body, turned out TO be Marquis Laureati.
The Marquis was sent to prison at once.
A trial ensued, and in the course of its
proceedings It turned out that the Mar.
quis was a hair dresser from Palermo,
and the Count a laquais. Both gentle.
men were engaged to young American
ladies.

MAKING RA1LRoAps.

The policy OF taxing railroads hltnerVo
tried in various States has been adopted
in our own State, and from this source a
considerable revenue will be derived to
the treasury. 1t was proposed at first to
tax the property ad valorem as other
property, and several bills were intro
duced in the General Assembly looking
to that end. The companies, however
argued that this would virtually confs'
cate their roads and force them to go
into the courts for some years and con-
tend for all the implied and expressed
rights under their charters, most OF which
gave a full exemption for twenty years.
An examination Of the various charters
revealed the fact that very few roads
would be liable for two years to come,
and taking the average, none for i've
Years to come. Some Of the leading
companies, led by Colonel Cole, of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis,
offered to pay one per cent. on gross
earnings for twenty years. AS q com
promise the main proposition to tax rail
roads as other property for all purposes
was amended by providing that compa-
MES so electing might pay II per cent.
on gross earnings for q period OF ten
wears. and after that, or in the event Of
non-acceptance, to become liable under
the law taxing other property. Colonel
Cole has already indicated his readiness
to accept the latter provision and will
urge other roads to do so. This will
bring in over 500, 900 in revenue per
annum without delay in litigation and at
a time when it is greatly needed. Ten
nesse is not the only State
that has seen fit to adopt
this course towards the railroads. In the
Michigan House of Representatives re
Gently the railroad committee reported
against subjecting railroads to local tax
alton in the towns and districts through
which they run, holding that a specific
tax on earnings is the proper mode o
assessment, ard all others are upJus
and impracticable. 1t is well-known tina
few of the roads in this State have de
clsred any dividends for several years
Their interests have suffered in common
with every other, but there is certainl,
as much justice in taxing such propert.
in some manner or other as in taxing
avery acre of land, whether pro
ductiye or non-productive. An ez
cessive tax, however, would hay
the effect to raise local freight'
wherever the limit is not already reached
and the money would thus come off tn
people at last, just as the enormous rev
enue indirectly imposed on those VIII
Imagine they are paying little or n
taxes through a double or %qqadrupl
tax from the merchants. The ger
eral principle Of equal taxation on a
is perhaps as near observed in a specif
tax on railroads as in any mode of tai
alton yet devised. The restrictions ar
very close, and ample provision is mad
in the law just passed to insure promI
and accurate reports as well as the co
lection Of the tax.

Marriage by PROXY,

From the Continental Herald.
An extraordinary matrimonial cere.
mony has recently taken place in the
Grisons. A damsel in that district
wished 10 marry a compatriot who had
emigrated to America, but as there were
difficulties in the way of his returning
and she did not wish to q out to join
him before the knot was tied, she applied
to the local cure to help her out of the
dilemma. The civil code of the canton
renders the presence of both contract
ing parties to a marriage indispensable,
but the worthy priest believed that the
bridegroom could be represented by
proxy. he accordingly got a friend Of
the fiance to act as g substitute, and
after having sworn that he had authority
from the swain in the United States, the
proxy, a married man himself, went
through the ceremony with the impatient
lady. 1t thus results that she has "a
husband in America, and also one in
the Grisons, the latter having married
two wives. The affair has been brought
under the notice Of the municipal au.
thorities.
