an ordinance authorizing the working of
certain offenders on the streets and other
public places. 1t provides that the
mayor may order city prisoners to work on
the streets or alleys, or other public pro-
perty, whenever he deems it advisable.
Also that the oyerseer at the city work
house may have charge of such prisoners
so engaged. or that two or more policemen

The Annual Tax Sale.

The WEEKLY ARGUS of this week con-
tains the list Of lands and lots advertised
for sale for delinquent taxes. Extra copies
of the paper can be had at our business
Office. The sale will commence on the sec
ond Monday of June next-the 18th day
Of the month.
From table published last week, in this
paper, furnished by County Treasurer
Potter, it will be seen that not one-half
the amount due for taxes in Rock Island,
Moline and Black Hawk was paid to the
township collectors. People are getting
quite smart in that matter. They haye
learned that on all taxes they pay to Che
town collector per cent. goes into his poe
ket, while on all they pay the county
treasurer no per centage goes into any
body's pocket. The county treasurer is
paid a salary and no commissions. 1t
may require little more help to do the
business in the county treasurer's Office,
but no one gets any fees-every cent Of
tho tax goes for the purpose for which it
was levied, and not a cent in fees to any
body. But the people who delay payment
have to pay 70 cents on every tract of land
and 81 cents ON every town lot, for adver.
Using, they save the use of their
money until June, or have until June tc
raise the money if they are short" The
poor printer gets only 20 cents on every
tract Of land and 10 cents on every lot
the balance going into the county treasury
to pay for help in doing the business.

Maggie Mitchell.--Dart's Hall.

On Thursday evening of next week our
people will be honored by the appearance
of the most sprightly, piquant, bewitching
little actress of the day. How Maggie
Mitchell manages to retain the appearance
of youth and the brilliant, sprightly ways of
youth lis what no fellah can find out. y
In all the years she has been before the
public her popularity has never waned.-
She draws large audiences, pleases every
body and possesses all the wonderful
powers of personal magnetism she exhibit
ed dozen years ago. She will give us
the new play of "Lorle, or the Artists
Dream" written for her, by Mme. Birch
Pheiffer, and especially adapted to her
peculiar talents. Of her performance of
this play at Booths theatre. New York
city, the New York Herald says:
If the highest art Of the actor is to con-
ceal his art, to give PRESERVATION that
shall make his auditors forget they
gaze upon a mimic presentation, and inn
agine they look at the living reality, Thea
certainly he or she who best succeeds in
this concealment is the best exponent OF
the drama. And in this seeming reality
is the best evidence of genius. That is
but poor actor who shows that he is act
ing, that it is sham disguise he wears
To Maggie Mitchell can cheerfully be &C
corded the honor of being the best imita
tor OF nature who has yet appeared in this
city. Her Characterization are always

Last year the Rockford road refused to
pay its taxes due this county, and County
Treasurer Porter sold that portion of the
road lying in this county to Mr.. E. W.
Smith, Of Des Moines. Iowa, for the taxes
S5,739.9S and got the money. Mr..
Smith has filed petition with our board
of supervisor for refund of the money,
with 10 per cent. interest from the day of
sale-June %, ls75-on the ground that
the federal courts had enjoined the county
from collecting the tax. But the recent
decision of the supreme court of the
United States dissolves the injunction, and
now the road must pay the taxes. The
decision is Of great interest to the people of
Illinois, and was published in THE ARGUS
several days ago. The cases were on ap-
peal from the United States Circuit Court
for the Northern District of Illinois, in
which permanent injunctions were issued
to restrain the collection of state taxes
upon the capital stock of railroads, these
injunctions being in direct contrsvention Of
the decisions of the state courts afirmins
the right to collect the tax in question
The United States supreme court reversel
the judgment of the court below, and hold.
that the system cfrailroaG taxation created
by the act of 1S72,-treatiDg tracks, roll
ing-stock, franchise, and capital as a uni
for taxation, and distributing the assessed
value of this unit according as the length
of the road in such county, city, and tow
bears to the whole length of road. tina
such a system is entirely within the powe
of the state to create, and that the ques
ton of the validity and construction of tn
state law is altogether within the jurisdic
ton of the state courts. The injunction
are dissolved, and the railroads are noti6e,
that they must pay their taxes, and ID
look to the federal courts for relief in tn
form of injunctions The amount of ta
affected by the decision is estimated be
tween $4,0O0.0O0 and 100000. Thi
decision is another evidence that the state
yet have some rights which the feder;
government is bound to respect.

of its eligible situation-it being directly

the excellent manner In which it is kept.
By stopping at this house, guests save the

pressage, baggage being carried to and
from the depot without charge. 1t is first

EARTH CLOSETS. The Wakefield earth
closet is said to be the great blessing of
the 18th century by those who are SO for
tunate as to possess enc. They are not in
tended for invalids alone, many a family
in robust health use them in preference to
vile privy with obnoxious odors enough to
knock a strong man down, much less a
weak woman. The secret of their emitting
no odor lies in the fact that the earth with
which the vessel is filled is a deodorizer
aud dest ~oys at once all offensive odors.
They are portable, and coming into general
use In the sick room they are an indis-
pensable article of furniture : Dubuque
