faxes OF 1874.

The Comptroller of State has issued
q circular letter to the various County
Collectors, constituting the law grant
ing until next November to tax payers
to pay their taxes. He instructs them,
under the law, to collect interest at the
rate Of D per cent. per aanum on all
taxes for the year 1874 not paid before
the first of November of that year.
1t will thus be seen that while the law
seeks to afford temporary relief to tax
payers, it also imposes 6 per cent. in
terest, so that they will gain nothing
but time by the pOstponement of the
day of payment All those who are
able will therefore save the acoumulat-
ing interest by raging their taxes
without further delay. The same
ruling applies as well to corporation as
to State and county taxes.

CHAPTER XII.

"Fair was she to behold, that maid of nine
teen summers,
Dark were her eyes as the berry that grows
on thorns by the Yayside,
Dark, yet how softly they cleaned beneath
the brown shade of her tresses."
We will enter softly the palatial res
idence of of the Walkers, and view the
occupants thereof.
In the solitude of her room we find
Miniee, a room embellished with ev-
cry conceivable luxury, lavishly aiorn-
ed with marble, bronze and gilt. The
heavy crimson curtains that shut out
the sunlight and the placid eounte-
nances of the statues around seemed to
mock her restless suffering. She was
resting on a couch and the white,
dimpled arms were thrown over her
head, as if in anguish. Her hair was
disheveled and thrown back in a tan
gled mass of bronze. One glance at
the beautiful face would tell you that
the INDUCED child ofluxury was drink-
ing deeply Of marah. The bright eyes
were Redeemed by weeping, and the
whole countenance was one glare of
agony. We are curious to know how,
with so many elements OF happiness
around her she could appear so miser-
able.
All if we imagine sorrow never en'
ters the gilded abodes, We are most
egregiously mistaken. 1t enters alike
the palace and the hut. 1t is grim
visitor that demands hospitality at the
hands of each. Now, it had raped at

A Free Horse at Rest.

During the pioneer days of Ionia,
the town had an editor who was pa
tient and long-suffering. Some Of the
members of the church got him TO
give SO toward securing a minister;
then they wanted their religious no.
tices inserted free; then he was asked
for SO toward helping to build par
sonage, and be finally found thai he
was giving the church more than he
gave his family. He, nevertheless,
hung oil" for time longer, until one
evening he went to prayer-meeting, and
was asked to leave his Office for a week
and so and help clear the grounds for
camp-meeting. That was the last
straw, and hearose up and said: Gen
tlemen, L d like to go to heaven along
with you. know you all. You are
clever and obliging, and kind and ten
der, aud it would be nice for us all, as
a congregation, to go in together, but
I've concluded to leave you and dodge
in along with somebody from Detroit,
Lapeer or Grand Rapids, It's money,
money, all the time, and I've given this
church until, if my wife should die,
she'd have to go to heaven barefooted.
The congregation seemed 20 realize
that free horse was being rode to
death. They let up on the editor and
pacified him. He even had special
tent assigned him at the eamp-meeE
ing, and all was well.

Five Pigs and Two Kittens In one Lit.

This is certainly the year Of revolu-
ton, or at least.things go little differ
ent" from whatIthey used to did," Sew
eral weeks ago a COW near Prospect
Bluff had five little calves-lived for a
day. Now We have equally as great a
curiosity right in town. One of Mr..
L: NJ. Moore's sows has litter of FIVE
pigs and two kittens. At first thought
one might suppose that some cat had
dropped them with the SOW, but the
brOtherly or sisterly look of resemb-
lance in color, &c, precludes that idea :;
besides the mother takes just as much
care of the kittens as she does of the
pigs. We looked at he oonglomerated
litter, and when not seeing the heads
of the kittens, nor their claws nor
hearing their meow, we could not
have told any difference. They are all
black and from the shoulders back you
can't tell the difference between the
kittens and the pigs-they are formed
alike, only the kittens are smaller than
the pigs. The heads of the kittens
are perfect, az are also the claws, and
NEW as do kittens. Upon the whole
they are kittens, and we have no doubt
but that the SOW bore them. How
this happened we are as much at a
loss as the reader. 1t may be that this

In the light Of the Civil Rights bill,
which forces the Southern negro into
car, hotel and theatre, the following
complaint which We find in a New
York paper appears ridiculous enough
Every morning when take Third
Avenue car it is invaded by bands of
Italians. armed with shOyels, going to
work. They crowd the car so that It is
difficult to get in or out. / respect
honest labor, but ara not partial to
dirt. These sons of sunny Italy are SO
dirty that soap would do them no
good. a crawling sensation is pro-
dueed by riding in the company of
these men, to whom water is unknown.
The Third Avenue Railway manage
ment in permitting this state of affairs,
is unjust, not only to citizens who ride
with these Italians, but to all who use
the same cars during the day. | sug-
gest that special cars might be appoint
ed for these people at the hours when
they go to work; far certainly some
protection should be afforded to the
general public, which is now threaten
ed with the worst pleagues Of Egypt.
Such an outrage would not be tolerat-
ed in the street cars of any European
even in Toulouse but in
New York it seems the people must
scratch away as well as they can.
