tober. 1t treats of the effect produced on the
mind by sudden loss of fortune
The real name of ASCOT r. Hope" author
of ga Book About Boys" etc., is Robert Hope
Moncrieff.
The Chicago Owl boots at Mr.. Bancroft, and
hints tn It he is no better than he should be in
regard to the truth of history. 1t expects to
see, hereafter, ABUSED by Bancroft" on the
tombstones of revolutionary patriots, by the
side of such other legends as "He served bis
country well" "His record is on high" etc,
Professor G. F. Hart, of Cornell, prints at
Rio Janiero pamphlet on the Tortoise Myths
of the Amazonians." He found great difficult
ty in tempting the native Brazilian Indians to
tell these tales, which represent their mytholo-
~, but finally wormed them out of the sly abo-
rhymes. He explains the whole of them. as
myths of the sun and moon.
The great jurist. Puffepdorf has been drawn
from biographical obscurity by the "Preussicbe
Jahrbucher," which gives us the original think
er, keen wit, acute politician and erudite Prot
estant jurist of the seventeenth century as he
really was.
Mr.. Freeman, the historian believes in using
words that one understands. According to him
the English language has many foes, chiefly
writer's in daily papers and schoolmasters whose
souls loathe common words, while its chief
friends are plowboys and few conscientious
scholars There is no doubt the plowboys do
keep the common, not to say vulgar words
from falling into disuse.
Two new novels by George Sand, ''Flama-
rande" and "Les Deux Ferres," are announced
by Michael Levy & Co of Paris, who also prom
Use novel by Edouard Cadol, entitled la
Bette Noire," and one by Arsene Houssaye
called "'Danas and Venuses." Lucy Hooper
remarks of the last named book, "If only the
romances of this snowy. shallow, immoral
writer were as clever as their titles, they would
be very pleasant reading. Unfortunately, they
are very flippant, very flimsy aud very indie
cent" The same correspondent tells us that
translation of Greenville Murray's bright novel.
1.-THE Member from Paris" has just been is,
sued. The book is full of SKETCHES of persoc-
ages of the last days of the empire, and for
three years the authorities have delayed to
grant permission to publish this translation.

ACT NO. 7, SECTION THREE.

The executive has signed an act for the
relief of the over flowed tax debtors, and il
doing SO has possibly been obliged to re-
lieve great many who have rot been inua'
dated, but have been 70: some years past
inveighing against the burden OF taxes
which they withheld, and thus contrib
uting to depreciate the credit Of the State.
/. was good operation, thus: The tax
resister or refuser used his tax money at
street rates. He also used the deprecia-
ton OF public credit as an argument to
convince the distant public that the Re-
publicans should be expelled from Office
and from the country. Il was especially
effective when the nonpaymen. Of city
taxes reduced the Democratic city admir-
istration to bankruptcy, and accumulated
upon the Republican Governor the re-
sponsibility, not only for the Burdens OF
| State, which he could and did reduce,
| but for having occasioned tie iourtold
burdens upon the city taxpayer, with
which he had nothing officially to do.
a serious question viii arise il the con-
strUction Of the third section. I. IS,
whether the phrase, ''all interests and
penalties thereon shall Ice RENTED OF al
taxes due throughout the State, is re-
stricted by the title and proviso u the
first section Of the act, or extended TO all
taxes, State and municipal, due through
out the State. The Governor has con-
strued it to mean a general remission OF
all interests and penalties or all taxes,
but intimates that the cclrts may deter
mine otherwise.
The introduction OF this third section |
indicated that it was intended to operate |
a tax jubilee. 1t was IN no sense neces-
sary to give effect TO the bill as reported
from the committee. It Was introduced |
by Senator Robertson, Democrat, and
received the vote OF majority OF the
Democratic Senators.
We have no objection 20 any relief law
provided it shall operate 70 the benefit Of
all. Those unfortunate persons whose
houses have been sold for interest and
penalties will have been ruined The
credit Of the State and city has saf-
Tered by the taxes withheld, and the
whole responsibility saddled upon the
Republican State administration. If it
vas the Will Of the Legislature to relieve
Ill delinquent taxpayers it would have
oeen better to have allowed them to pay
wen in the discredited and defunc. obi
cations of the public. The courts will,
10 doubt, give construction to act No. Z,
,ut if it be decided that those who shall
ave successfully resisted the collection
+ taxes up to November, 1875, shall re-
GIVE premium for having done SO, then
o make taxation uniform in THIS State /
he interests and penalties heretofore col =
acted from those who have paid their :
axes should in justice be refunded them. G

The border difficulties are such as al
ways grow out OF the occupation Of con-
tumaclous people in pastoral pursuits.
Cattle are SO subject to escape and inter
mixture that those whose property con-
sists in such stock are subject TO constant
conflict Of rights, and nation is as much
bound 10 recover the COW of one cit;sen
as the ship and cargo CT another. Mexico
will now do, what the United States will
also undertake. It is to arrest end panish
the brlgands who place her national faith
IN doubt, and her national peace in
jeopardy. We admit that to shoot man
IL the plaza because he may have stolen
a bullock would be hard measure.
Sill others may put higher estimate
On cattle or lower rate On
human existence than we 90. With
tie cooperation of both republics tie
peace of the border may he restored
4 is, however, the reel procal interests
created 10y the interchange Of inter
national industries which can alone es-
tablish peaceful border. Merchants.
manufacturers and farmers inhabiting
opposite sides Of g boundary have always
more interest in peace and production
than N rapine. The bold haroas Of the
English border were always followed bv
vassals, to whom fresh beef was a per
petual temptation, as it was q constan:
necessity. The North of England farmer,
who always needs gang labor, the Not
.inghamshire or Lancashire manufac-
turer, who always wants operatives in the !
mill CT factory, prefer good neighbor-
ship. It is SO with our relations toward |
Canada. These capitalists and employ
e-s OF labor are always conservative;
they always make peace party On each
SIDE.
Il, therefore, the United States ard
Mexico can close out the raiders and rob-
Oers on each side Of the Rio Grande, and
plant industrial pursuits along tie terri
tory OF each, they will have strong peace
party on both sides. If Mexico viii allow
American capital and enterprise on her
coffee plantations and silver mines, rail
,oads and railroad station towns she Will
ave established an interest which will
lever consent to war which may be non
)rably avoided.
We have every confidence tia. both
epablics viii cooperate in bringing to
ustice al offenders against tie laws ofthe
ther, and that their alliance, instead OF
eiDg weakened by these vexatious col
.sions, Will be, in fact, strengthened by
be conviction that the prosperity Of
ach will be promoted by the cooper
ton q each in preserving the peace Of
1eir common border.
