Mistaken In the Man.

REV DR.. p, the other day, found
pack of playing cards in the possession Of
his Oldest boy, and after giving the lad 4
thrashing for owning such engines of
Satan, the doctor placed the cards in his
OWE pocket intending to destroy them At
the first opportunity. But he forgot about
them, and subsequently, while in the cars
on his way to the city, he pulled out his
handkerchief and the caSlls came out with
it and fell ON the floor. The doctor gath.
cred them up with very red face, and
while he was arranging them in his hand
he saw rough looking man in the seat
opposite wink at him. He turned his
head away, but upon looking around a
moment later, the man winked at him
again. Then he winked several times.
and finally he came over and sitting down
by the side Of the doctor, he said:

the doctor.

man. " I'm doing little at that thing
myself. Now, how do you work it,

"Oh, you know well enough. What
do you skin 'em on:''
''Skin them Skin who? Really, sir.

and I'll run three or four jacks up my
sleeve with couple of aces, maybe and
when we get to town we'll divide the
profits, and go down and get roaring
drunk at the tavern. Is it bargain 2"
You are scoundrel, sir!' exclaimed
the doctor. Let me change my seat, if
you please"

and try a few games ?"
Certainly not, sir"

Income Tax Decision.

PROVIDENCE, Sept. 20.
In the United States circuit court to-day,
Judge Knowles delivered the opinion OF
the court of Judges Clifford and Knowles,
affirming the action of United States VS..
Rowland G. Hazard. The action is one OF
debt to recover the sum of SIT ,45l for tax
on defendants income in 1868. The de-
PENDANT pleads in bar to recovery of pay
ment by defendant, Of assessment made by
United States assistant assessor with the
added penalty of 80 per cent The United
States Attorney Gordon demurred to this
and other pleas and the opinion of the court
to-day sustains the demurrer, following the
principle of the decision of the United
States supreme court in the case of Dollar
savings bank Va. United States. The case
is an important one, as the first instituted
to recover the income tax, after the citizen
had paid the tax assessed by the United
States assessor with so per cent penalty
The judgment of the court sustains such
action.
