WIDE AWAKE for February is a very noticea-
bic number of this rapidly growing magazine
for the children and young folks. The engrav-
ings are unusually fine. The magazine opens
with an excellent picture by Miss G. A. Nor

Up" OF the two serials, "The Cooking Club"
by Ella Farman, the editor, is full of deeper
wisdom than commonly goes to the making of
n Juvenile story, while "Young Rick" by Miss
Eastman, is delightful. In depicting actual
little-chil life, Miss Eastman has few equals.
Fanny Roper Feudge, the accomplished tray
eler, furnishes an entertaining paper, "Among
the Parsecs." But the two distinguishing fea
lures of Wide Alcdke this month are the long
letter in the "Poets' Homes" series, relative TO
Mrs. A. d. Il. Whitney, and the initial paper of
the Behaving series. The latter is prepared

LONDON, Feb. 19.-One of the most remarkable
trials ever brought before n court of justice even in
these DAYS of sensational litigation to an end
in the Court of Queens Bench on Thursday. MIR.
Aspinall was the moving spirit in the famous
Eupion Gas Company, and he with his confcderates.
DIR. Muir, Mr.. Fry, Mr. Whyte, George Knocker, and
Charles KnOcker, was placed on his trial Oh two
charges, first, of inducing the Stock Exchange Com
mittee BY false representations to grant settling
day in Eupion shares and, secondly, OF conspring
Ia defraad q number of stock brokers. The trial
lasted Ia DAYS, and the Lord Chicf-Justce said it
was one of the most complicated and difficult he had
ever known. Difficult and complicated 1t was. in
deed and the mind gets confused III attempting to
grasp all the details but the main facts stand out III
bold relief; the thread of the story is simplicity
itself.
About two years ago, when coal was at famine
prices, and gas in consequence an expensive luxury,
| the Eupi6D Company was formed, with nominal
capital of $4,000 to work several patents for the
manufacture of gas by an improved process The
Company actually had these patents in itspossession,
premises TAKEN and everything pointed to the
belief that there bona dc intention of starting
real company But in very short time one of the
patents lapsed, another was resOld to the patentee
| aud the remaining never utilized. The
| Company still continued however, and, according
to the prosecution this could only have been it'll
fraudulent intentions. Before anything further
could be done it was necessary to have the Company
recognized by the Stock Exchange and to have a
settling day appointed. But the Stock Exchange
Committee will recognize no company until a
certain number of ITS shares have been allotted.
Not single Eupion share had been issued or
was intended to be issued, for it was not the
public that Mr.. Asphalt wished to walk into bis
parlor. There were no shareholders, there was nc
capital but tho difficulty with the Stock Exchsnge
must be bridged over somehow. To accomplish thii

A BAD SIGN.

Yes, it is bad sign, and shows
the want of means and lack of pros
perity among our people-the tax
eales. Last Monday the City Mar
shall sold, in front of the Court
hohse, quite 4 long list of property
ON which city taxes were due and
unpaid. In another month the
Sheriff will make his sale. The state
and county delinquent list Is a very
long one and comprises much val
liable property owned by parties
who were once affiuent and well
able to meet. their liabilities. But
tho rule of ruin that has been tho
portion of our people under radical
administration has not only de-
pressed the spirits Of our people,
but has caused shrinkage in all
values, especially of real estate, I'M
til taxation has become not only q
burden but consuming mortgage
upon all property. We do, not
know what our people would do,
but for hopes they have for speedy
relief at the hands of our present
law makers. 70 them they look
for redemption from the ills and
tolls that have very nigh swallowed
them up. Ifour Legislature should
adjourn without doing something to
lessen taxation, something that will
impart new life and courage to our
people, great will be their disap-
pointment. We think it would be
we'll to remedy existing evils, and
not spend SO much time in hunting
up evidence to punish the authors.

TIE Jews in France.

One of the Senators elected for
life by the French Assembly is Il
Jcw-M. Adolphe Cremieux. His
election to the Senate was the oc-
casion of much rejoicing among the
French Israeiites, who, though
clinging to their religion and their
traditions, are ardent patriots. y
letter IF congratulation was adj
dressed to Senator CremicuN, and
that gentleman, in responding,
traced with much feeling the recent
history of the Jews IN France.
Prosecuted and scourgcd through
long centuries; their chains were
stricken off during the first days of
the great revolution, and they were
endowed with the proud title of
citizens of France. That thew
were indebted TO the people, and
not to king or empire for their
freedom, the French Jews have
never forgotten, and they are all
Republican at this day. In 1870, a
population.of 35, Jews in Algeria
were raised from an ignoble servi-
tude and endowed with citizenship;
and III 1875 the NatiOnl Assembly
raised to a life long Senat orial seat a
Jew who,in the name of the Govern
ment, had proclaimed the A gerian
Jews Frenchmen. In response to
all these righteous decisions, NJ. Gre
m ienx calls upon his co-rcligionists
to mite in the shout of eternal re-
membrance; Cali for our French
fatherland."

THE COTTOH TAX.

The Hon. q. Wiley Wells has
introduced Il bill in Congress, pro-
viding for the return of the tax
wrung from the people of the cot
ten states in 1868, CTS and 9.
| Tho total amount of tax thus col
lcctcd is over Sos, 100000. OF this
amount the farmers of Mississippi
paid over SS,000,000. 1t is right
that this enormous sum should be
returned, but we do not approve of
Mr.. Wells idea of returning it to
the several states to be set apart as
4 common school fund.
1T the money was wrongfnllg col
lected and 1t is proper to return it,
1t Is nothing mo:o than right that it
should be returned TO the people
thus wronged. No wrong has been
done to any state, but to an indus
trial class of people in the several
states. The people, the ,illcrs of
the soil, the producers of the cot
ron, are the injured party. The
money wrung from them by the
general government, is their mon
ey and not that of the state. For
Congress to refund this money at
all Is an admission that it was
wrongfuily taken from the people,
and to return 1t to the several
states to be applied to the common
school or any other fund, does not
right the wrong-in fact, only
makes the matter worse. 1t is
nothing short OF confiscation. Our
people have already paid heavily
to support our common schools, Il
policy which is very questionable,
and measure susceptible of much
argument, and on which there is
much diversity OF opinion. We
I do not propose to discuss, here,
this branch of the subject; our
complaint and objection is against
tho proposition to pcrpemate a
wrong against our people. We
| say we hope the tag viii be refund
ed, but not to the state, which had
no hand in paying it, but to the
people who did pay it.
1t may be urged that it will be
| impossible TO refund it to the peo-
pie who paid it, and that specula-
tors and sharpers will be benefit
ted and not the parties who origi
nally paid the tax. We take it that
If any Spectator, banker, lawyer
or any one else has these cotton
claims for collection that he has
given value received for them or is
to do SO. 1t matters not how he
came by them, the fact that he has
possession of them is prima facic
evidence that he Is the legal owner
of them, and if the claim is just
one, the general government is as
much bound to pay it, without qucs-
tioniong the title to it, as it is
bound to pay lit bonds, regardless
of who is the holder of them.
When it is once decided that the
government owes this sixty-cight
millions of dollars, it has no more
right TO say that it shall be paid TO
the several states than it has to say
that any other claim for bounty,
pension, reward or what not shall
be paid 70 the state instead of the
citizen creditor of that state. These
arc our ideas roughly expressed.
We believe however that they are
right, and trust that those who have
the matter in hand will see to it
that the parties interested and not
the states derive the benefit, if there
is TO be any. =
