Mn. EDITOR:
The iron.clad 7sx.lsv
haS been the law Of the land something
over two years. All lands in our Coun.
y that were delinquent have been sold
with, perhaps. few inconsiaerable ex
ceptioas. In thinking over tho INST
ter it seems to me that the receipts "a

School ond other funds, ~ reported By
the County Board siace the Tax Sales,
are out ofall proportion to the amounts
heretofore reported - delinquent
Now, Mr.. Editor, taking ~ basi. Ii.
supposition that there was. only one
thousand dollars delinquent eight years
ago and the same amount each year up
to 1874, when the iron.clad Tax lax
went into effec., We would have, .,

years, on .ths seeond thouAad, foul
years and 30 on down to the day o.
sale, when principal and interest woult
have amounted 70 eleven thousand dol
lars or thsreabouts. At the Oct. Sal,
io 1874 very few parcels were takel
but the costs had accrued which, as ,
rough estimate, We will put At on,
thousand dollars more, making $l2,00(
against said lands. Soon after tn
sale parties began to take assignment
up 70 the last day Of retention. Sup
posing they were taken, on an avsrag'
one year after day Of sale there would
be the interest on $4,000 At twenty
four per can't to add on, which wouls

~CLEOPATRA'S NEEDLE.

Sill sent you lat night a short tele-
gram announcing the successful tcrnlna-
ton Of The launching operations, which
}aJ been de aged somewhat by one OF tie
Contingencies we had contemplated as
possible.
The cylinder had to be rolled ever u
rocky bed, and although We had loTcIIod
las well as We could by divers and tip
ping in quarry rubbish, it WAS yet Q
rou 9h:sh road Tor such a weight, and JUST
at the last moment a stray stone Gli manage
to thrust a hole. This let the water III,
and with her buoyancy diminished the
tug, could not move her; our hydfauIc
apparatus was brought to bear, the damag
ed plate turned up to the surface and
repaired. The pumps then soon restored
her ~buoyancy, and she was tOwed OFT INTO
deep water. There we partially arranged
the ballast, and took her a six niles sea
voyage round to the harbour to test her
stability. A heavy sea was ro' 1ng III,
and while we on the powerful tug had to
hold on tight to keep upon our feet, a
number of the men were sitting at perfect
ease on the bare skin Of the cylinder with
out q drop Of water ever coming near
them. This exactly confirms our caIcula-
tions. The metacentric height was bare'y
sin. i; when duly equipped and properly
bAIiasted, this will be more than doubled,
which all the great naval authorities assure
me will be ample.
The ship and cargo now repose securely
IN the chOcks of the Khedive's dTy-dOck,
In a few days her outfit will be complst,
ed. Experiments to test her stability VIII
be made, and she will be ready for her
honeward voyage. She will probably be
