says MacMahon has decided to summon
Dufoure. Laboulaye. Larcy and Castel,
lane to form q cabinet and agree to a
political programme. 1t is certain that
this attempt to constitute a cabinet from
Wednesdays majority in the Assembly
will be fruitless, but it is indispensable
to render MacMahon's position clear in
the eyes Of the nation and prove the
impossibility Of any government secur.
ing the continued support Of the ma.
jority. MacMshon will then be free to
choose q cabinet from those whose pro.
gramme he a accept, and this cabinet
will be charged with the conduct of the
general election.
PARIS, January s.-Baron deLarcy
has declared his inability to form a new

applied to Dufoures to undertake the
task.

Paris Letter to the Philadelphia Pross.l
Quite an excitement was recently ere
ated at Nantes by the sensational and
singular discovery OF a violin floating in
the river with q severed hand a left onel
attached TO it. The mysterious arrange
ment caused quite a eommotion, as it
was supposed some foul deed had been
committed--if not a murder, at least a
mutilation. Various rumors have been
rife concerning jealousy, daggers, retri-
button, etc. But the investigations Of
the police have at last succeeded in
clearing up the mystery. 1t appears
that there formerly lived at Ville-deuil-
sar-Seine an old teacher OK .he violin.
who was reputed by mis- friends to be a
great genius, and by the world at large
to be a little cracked. This aged must
clan, whose name was Sofia, among
other strange theories which he cher
ished 10 regard TO performing Cd his
favorite instrument, always maintained
that the left hand was the most impor-
tant one in playing on the violin, and
the right was but the servant of the
other. He died a few days ago, and ON
his desth-bed he called TO him bis favor
ite pupil, one NJ. Louis H, and made
him promise not to separate bis left
hand from his beloved violin Ia real
Guamerius of l725) and to annihilate
them together. The young man. rather
foolishly, could think Of no better plan
than of severing the old professors hand
at the wrist after his death, Of tying it to
the violin, and Of then throwing both
into the river. He seemed much sur.
prised at the sensation which his deed
had caused, and when iaterrogated by
the police, made no secret Of his pro-
ceedings. If he had burned or buried
the article in question, the old violinist's
wishes would have been much more
effectually carried out.

Ia not this exhibit a little frightful to
people who already owe 81, 900, 900
bonded debt. 100000 floating debt,
and are running in debt annually $780,
900 more, while they are paying four per
cent. besides on a very full va uation Of
all they haye-assessed to $36, 900. OO02
And is it not more frightful still, when it
is remembered that by reason Of the
small incomes from property. our
people are less able 10 pay one per
cent. tares ad valorem on their
assessed values than the thriving
New Workers and other cities are to pay
ten per cent. on theirs7 And is it not
even yet still more frightful, when it is
remembered that oar poor are suffering
for want Of bread and shivering for want
Of fuel and clothing, while labor is
repressed by the discouragement to
investments OF capital, while the demand
for it is reduced to q minimum, while
many are already creditors of a public
unable TO pay them, and selling their
scrip for fifty cents in the dollar; and
all being impoverished together, even the
very soul of charity itself is whitening
and dying out? PAY your honest
debts is the cry. But is the way to pay
them-to increase them from day to day
after such a race horse rate? We say to
poor men, demand the means of educat.
ing your children. but forbid extrava-
CANT expenditures for classical hifalu-
tin instruction, which is not necessary
for all who must earn their living by the
sweat Of the brow. We tell you you
must take of this load Of taxation, or
we shall soon have no capital to tax, and
you will have neither work nor wages.
Poor ourselves, it is for you we sympa-
thize, in seeing these causes operate so
disastrously to your disadvantage. The
rich can take care of themselves, and
they will do it. But make the taxes low
and the city win go to growing, and you
will thrive again, where all will thrive
together. Besides, to give one.hslf the
children Of Shelby county $4,000 for
education and the other half Sl85, 900 is
not the fair thing exactly. Either both
should have the largest sun or neither.
II the large sum should be compelled
from the city taxpayers, the same rea-
son exists why the county taxpayers
should pay as much. For either it is
destruction. We profess a holy horror
Of reputation. But, il we really intend
TO pay, We must stop this one hundred
and eighty.fye thousand dollars leak,
and several more. They tell us the law
allows il, and the like. But we appeal
to the people who have the right to
repeal the Law. Let them look to it.
In the name Of the people Of Shelby
county we demand REFORM.
