The Ne,V tdr Proposed 10 Imepm he Rev.
ep,c Lar.
The new bill to amend tho inter-
nal revenue laws of the u nitod
States relative TO taxation Of dlstill-
ei spirits was introduced in the
house by Mr. Whiting, Of Illinois.
The main provisions of tho bill are
the reduction Of tho tax to fifty
cents tho bonding Of revenue a.
gents, and fixing their compensation
ut 81 per day the ascertainlneut of
tue quantity of spirits by weight as
we'll as guaging and proving the
payment of tax upon the actual
quantity including fractions, instead
Of approximate gallons, as under the
existing law fJrDililn5 the use of
second hand barrels in the larger
class of grain dislillerics providing
for the consolidation of the offices of
storekeeplr AMI gauser in small dis
tlllerles ; the abolition of gauaer in
the premises of wholesale liquor
dealers allowing dealers in Ameri.
oan wine to sell without Wholesale
dealers license wines of their own
production ut any point; exempting
from seizure by revenue officers on
mere suspicion PACKAGES of distilled
spirits bearing regularly issued tax
paid stamps This last provision is
the one recommended by tho pro
duco exchange Of Now York aul
Merchants exchange of st. Louis
The bill provided further that deals
ers who oollude with fraudulent dis.
tlllers, or knowingly receive fraudu-
lent goods, shall on conviction, for
felt tneir licenses and bo ineligible
for further license uuder the inter
nal revenue laws. 1t embraces ma
ny features similar to the Wells bill,
and some details of tho bill submit
ted by the commissioner of internal
revenue, but its general tendency is
to secure tax ut the distillery, pre-.
vent official extortion, aud release
commerce from some Of its present
trainm sls. II does not embrace the
civil service features OF the Meade
bill Or decrease the number OF OH
GERS, except gaugers, but does define
their duties moro clearly ana limits

LOST LILY.

1--WE will have it out, now, il you
please, madam said Mark Ark
wright to his wife, Augusta.
Aud they did have it out with q
vengeance. Both were high tenn
pered; neither had learned self con-
troll; and before the scene between
them was ended, both had spoken
words such as no two people whu
love each other should ever speak
II two Indifferent persons quarrel, it
does not amount to much generally
but when two who love each other
indulge id tue dangerous pastime, it
is frequently fatal to happiness.
They had been married buta year,
and the sweet glamor of romance had
hardly worn off This was their first
disagreement aud it began in a secret
Perhaps Mr. Arkwright had ample
cause to be angry with his wife. !
am sure that every man will think so,
though q woman's judgment might
be different.
On the afternoon OF the quarrel he
had asked his wife to drive with him,
and she had declined on that old
plea-the headache He had pitied
and petted her, aud kissed her hot
forehead, aud smoothei her soft
blonde hair. and established her on
the lounge in her room, with apil-
low under her head and a shawl over
her feet, before he went out for his
afternoon drive.
Two hours lator he had occasion
i, to cross Hyde Park, aud there, walk
ing slowly down one OF the most So
clu led paths, he saw a purple velvet
skirt, besile black coat. Augusta
had a purple velvet skirt aud looked
like an angel, her husband hal FREE
quently told her, all un min ifal of
the historical fact that angels uni
versally wear white, aud are suppos-
ed to be above the weakness of pur.
pie velvet skirts.
The airs and manners OF tho man
we're decidedly foreign he was
handsome, and had an uneasy ap-
pearance gensrally-indeed, he seem.
cd to be constantly looking over his
shoulder. ~
Arkwright paused in the shadow
OF clump of trees, and watched the
pair. I supposed watched is the
proper word, though Arkwright
prided himself on being an extreme
ly honorable man, and would Doubt
less have knocked anybody down
who had insituated anything to the
contrary.
There was no mistaking the grace
Of the lady, the wave Of her golden
hair, the turn of her snowy neck
yes, the very wreath Of purple pam
lies on her hat--all we're Augusta g
