After allowing for the depreciation of the
currency in 1870, the taxes, per head OF
population, in that year were three ana
one. third times what they were in 1860,
onS fnnr and a half times the amount in
1880. Since 1870 the local taxes have In
creased materially upon the figures here

garded as about fairly representing the
present relative condition of the total tax
alton of the country. .
The Bulletin then proceeds to consider
what seven hundred and thirty millions OF
taxes implies Hon David A. Weifee, In
his report for 1869, as special COM mission
er of revenue, says:
"The commissioner has been led to the
conclusion that the annual increase OF &C
tive capital in the United States, arislng
from the excess of production over expen.
diture, cannot at the present time be con-
sidered as in excess of eight per cent. OF
the gross annual product, or $40 ,ooo,oou
per annum." :,
Concedipg that there must necessarily
be n certain degree of vagueness in all estl'
mates of this kind, Mr.. Welles's figures
have not been successfully impugned, and

be safely taken as the nearest approxima'

From the interesting Paris letter of the
Philadelphia Standard we take the follow
ing extract:
In my last, l told you in general terms
that Paris is known to those only who Will
take the trouble to examine it closely;
who visit from place to place, free from
those prejudices which in many cases
make visitors see things through colored
| glasses. In nothing is this more to be
| found than in the idea that many have of
the frivolity of character supposed to ex.
| ist in France, and especially in Paris. If
charity covers "A multitude of sins, in no
CITY more than in Paris are the trans
gressions of men obliterated. It ispGr er-
cellemee the city of charities--and when Is

Paul ia not to be foundf We are led to
| think of the great and good man to whom
France owes 80 much by our visit of the past
few days. Among other places that recalled
his memory was the village or little city OF
Clichy-sur. Seine, near Paris. Here is the
very church in which st. Vincent was

AS so mauy hundreds ot churches and hos
pitfalls owe their erection TO tue zeal OF

Ere the great sun that burns above

And the childrens poppy nose gay fade
And they lie down to rest.
Each golden spear that upward points
Shall fall upon the field,
And the farmer drain sparkling glass,
Rejoicing o'er the field.

That cast abroad the shining seed,
And build the wealthy NOW;

'Tis by their toll we live;
Hurrah! give them the loudest cheer
