Triumph of Justice.
From the New York World, Feb. q.

FROM the New YORK w orld, Feb. Il.
In the Assembly of Wisconsin, last
week, lively discussion took place upon a
bill designed 10 levy tax upon the prem
lums paid and the sums invested for life in
surance in that state A few of the states in
the northwest still preserve this uncivilized
method of raising revenue, by discouraging
prudence, taxing family affection, and cut
ting down by excise the widows loaf and
the orphans schooling. True, the people
are rapidly becoming enlightened on the
subject. Michigan has reduced this tax
within year; Iowa is about to abolish or re-
duce 1t; iii Maryland, Ohio and Indiana the
leading statesmen are heartily ashamed of
II, and such great states as New York
Massachusetts, Illinois and California
have never dsgraced themselves by re-
sorting To it. BUTT was still thought or at
least Threatened, by number of persons in
Wisconsin, that there was popular prejudice
enough against particular companies engag-
ed III this business 10 carry All act which
would be oppressive 10 every holder of a
life policy in the state, and almost ruinous
to the companies The gentlemen repre-
senting the business met the attack in a very
different way, perhaps, than that anticipated
by their assailants. They appealed boldly
to the public intelligence and to the con
science of the Legislature and discussed the
whole subject in the light of public policy
The result is seen in the final vote of yeSter-
day, in the indefinite postponement of the
bill; only twenty members could be found
to record themselves in favor of longer con-
sidering such a scheme
The effect of this victory will be felt be
yond this year, and beyond the State of
Wisconsin. 1t is a mistake to suppose that
the people OF this country are willing TO see
injustice aud oppression legalized, even
against corporations. Let every financial
interest throw away all the unreasonable
fears which have too often led it to com
promise unjust claims and assaults, or to
seek other means of opposing them than
open, manly discussion, and throw itself
for the guardianship of its rights upon the
intelligence of the people. This is a safer
reliance for it than any other.

DR.. Schenck's Standard Remedies.

The standard remedies for all diseases Of the
lungs are SCHENCK's PUIMoNIC SYRUP, SCHEMES
SEA WEED Tonic, and SCHENCK's MANDRAKE PILLS,
and, If taken before the lungs destroyed, a
speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. J. H. Schenck, OF
PhlIadel phia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The PulmOnic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
IN the lungs; nature throws il off by an easy eX-
pectoration. for when the phlegm or matter is ripe
2 slight cough will throw il of, the patient has
rest and the lungs begin 10 heal.
To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schencks sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schencks Mandrake Pills
act on the liver removing all distractions, relax
the gall bladder. the bile starts freely, and the
liver i soon relieved
Schencks Sea Weed Tonic Is gentle stimulant
and Alternative; the akai Of which il is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents SOurlng. 1t as
sIsts the digestion by tGning up the stomach To
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pull
monte Syrup viii make good blood: then the lungs
heal, and the patient will surely get well If care
Is taken TO prevent fresh cold.
All who wish TO consult DR.. Schenck, either
personally or by letter, can do al his principal
Office, corner Of SIXTH and ARCH SIS, Philadel
phla. every Monday
Schenck's medicines are sold by au drugstst'
throughout the country.

A Nest-Building Fish.

The rainbow fish is native of the
ponds and trenches near the Gauges
As its name suggests, the rainbOv Is
characterised by its brilliant-med
scales; a second peculiarly is indra-
ed by the presence of a long filanent
substituted for the central fins. L is,
however, as Il nest-builder that this
fish claims special attention, and is
architectural efforts have recently been
described by NJ. Carbonnier. Seizinga
little cOnferva plant with Its mouh,
the male fish raises it to the surface,
keeping it atloat by the introduction If
number of minute air-bubbles b.
meath; this operation occupies the lite
artisan for the first day. On the mo-
row an additional number of air-bubble
are introduced; at the same time the,
are urged toward the centre Of the Leaf
the result being a delicate vegetable
dome balanced on the surface. Havin,
thus prepared a safe home, he goes il
search Of a female mate, and solicib
her to enter; this she does, and, having
deposited her eggs, Withdraws, Leaving
it for the father to defend and educate
the offspring. Entering upon his ney
duties, the male first arranges the eggs
separately in the raised parts of The
nest, and, when the proper time arrives,
rises in the middle of the dome AMI
bursts it, letting the air-bubbles escape
Thus deprived Of its buoyant quality
the leaf tiattens and sinks, bearing down
beneath it the eggs, which have thel
entered upon the embryo state. Tna
these embryOs may not escape prema-
turely, the edges OF the leaf are torn s.
as to act as a protecting fringe about
the nest. The only remaining duty f
the active parent is now to watch and
guard the imprisoned young. Tbs
duty he performs faithfully for a
period of from eight to ten days, after
which time his family have become %
independent and unruly as to defy lis
authority, when he leaves them to tie
tender mercies Of their enemies.

The Traffic in Spurious Currency

A new method of entrapping the I'M
wary into exchanging Il small amount
Of genuine money for much larger
amount of a swindler's counterfeit cur
rency has just come to light by the agen-
cy Of a man in COchecton, y. Y, whom
the comterfeiter made vain efforts to
swindle He had received a letter,
which he forwarded to Inspector Dilks,
of this city, stating that the writer was
an engraver and had at one time been
in the employ Of the United States Treas
ury Department, where he had en-
graved several bank note plates for the
Government. Resigning his position
four years ago, he had since been en-
gagged in the manufacture of counter
felt money, and could produce bills
which even experts could not detect as
spurious \ price list was inclosed and
quoted $1,000 bad money at 800 good
bills. Added to this letter was printed
slip. in the form of an Associated Press
dispatch from Washington to papers in
this city, and dated August 30th. 1t is
in relation to the items Of deficit in the
United United States Treasury, and
gives S129, $40 as the amount of counter
felt money received and for the first
time detected in the Redemption Di
vision This Is to advertise the perfect
imitation of genuine money by the
false and so to tempt the receiver OF
the missive.

Bar0ns and Brick-makers.

The late Baron Palm, who was buried
Theosoph;cally on Sunday last, when
he came TO this country, brought with
him a patent machine for pressing
bricks, which he valued more highly
than he did his patent for nobility. But
before he became known as n brick
maker, he was much sought after by
the leaders of fashion on the score of his
being a real Austrian Baron. The High
Priest OF the Theosophists, Col. Olcott,
in his address over the remains Of his
departed friend and disciple, said that
his ancestors had been Barons for a
thousand years, but Baron Palm did not
pride himself so much upon his descent
from so long line of rufiians and rob-
bers, as he did upon his mechanical in
vention, which, he hattered himself,
would be better recommendation in
our republican society. But he was
soon disillusioned. He had been intro
duced to lady, who treated him with
extreme Difference and politeness until
he innocentiy began to discourse upon
the merits of his patent machine, when
she said to him, with an expression of
scorn and contempt, "Why.. l thought
you were nobleman, but | find you
are only brick-maker." "Just as if, +"
said the Baron, "a man can not be a
nobleman if he makes himself useful to
his fellow-beings. "-Neac York Sun.
