the report, operating against the successful

that state in 1S66 from European countries.
Mr.. George III. Andrews, tax-commiss .Oner
OF New York city, suggests what is subStan-
tally the Pennsylvania system of taxation.
For local purposes. for tue needed revenues
OF cities, counties and towns. his scheme
proposes the taxation of the real estate, all
other property to oe exempt. In Pennsylva-
MIA, mortgages are not taxed, nor is indus
try. The state taxes, in fact, outside of those
on transportation, are principally income
taxes levied In indirect ways. The local tax
alton, on the other hand, falls entirely upon
real estate, which the local authorities assess
at their fair market value. This is the sys-
tenn under which Philadelphia has grown SO
rapidly IN riches and population since 1866
The commission say that all the evidence
before them tends 10 show that there must be
a speedy change in Maryland of the mode of
assessing property and levying taxes. Even
If the state could sustain itself as il cannot,
the people will not long submit to the ine-
qualities and burdens OF the present system.
The system in Maryland is breaking down
as IL is in New York, through the failure to
assess personal property, known 10 exist, in
defiance OF the tax gatherer. For the present
faulty and Ineffective plan one should be
adopted that will tend TO promote industry
and invite the influx of capital. They end
their report by quoting the motto which a
very foTcible and earnest writer thinks
should be cut in stone in every legislative
chamber; Never tax anything that would
be OF value 10 your State, that could or would
run away, or that could or would come to
you" This motto applies as well 10 Wash
ington as 10 Baltimore, and points out very
forcibly, for instance, the impolicy OF per-
sonal tax-law that drives away capital seek

An Indian Tradition.

Among the Seminole Indians there
is singular tradition regarding the
white mans origin and superiority.
They say that when the Great Spirit
made the earth, he also made three
men, all Of whom were of fair complex
ion; aud that after making them he
led them to the margin ola small lake
aud bade them leap therein. One
Immediately obeyed. aud came out OF
the water purcr than before he bathed;
the second did not leap Until the water
became slightly muddy, and when he
bathed, he came up copper-colored ;
the third did not leap in until the :rs-
ter become black with mud, and came
out with its own color. Then the
Great Spirit laid before them three
packages of bark, and bade them
choose. and out Of pity for his ,nisfor-
tune Of color, he gave the black man
his first choice. He took hold Of each
of the packages. and having felt them,
chose the heaviest I; the copper-col-
ored Que then chose the second hcav-
lest, leaving the white man the light
est When the packages were opened.
the first was found to contain spades.
hoes, and all the implements Of labor !;
the second enwrapped hunting, fishing
and warliks apparatus the third gave
the white man pens, ink and paper

of humanity-thc foundation Of the
wLite mans superiority.

The Increasing Demand for Hogs.

The agricultural editor of the Iowa
State Register maintains the following
sensible conclusions:
There is no danger Of over-produc-
tion in hogs. As our production in
creasss, the demand increases. The
foreign trade in the production of the
hog is large and important, and in
cTeas,ng every year. In the year end
ing November 1st, 1875, we exported
Of hog products 457, ,1S6.97O pounds.
For 1876, lacking sixteen days, the
exports were 605,658,642 pounds.
Taking the whole export for this year,
and allowing 200 pounds to represent
live hog, Gas much of the export was
rendered lard and hams.) 1t will be
seen chat our forcing trade this year
has taken 3,028. 293 hogs, being at
least a million moro than the entire
annual slaughter at Chicago. And it
took 742,358 more hogs 10 1876 to
supply our foreign trade than it did
in 1875. And there are evidences
that there will be largely increased
demand in 1877 over this year. It is
understood that there is now . light
stock Of old pork on hand. If Justice
is therefore done, the producers pork
would command as good if not better
prices than at present, throughaut the
fall and wiater.

Marvellous Mechanism.

Bat the strangcss thing We ever
heard Of in the way of a timepiecc was
a clock described by Hindu rajah as
belonging to native prince and jeal-
ously guarded as one OF the rarest
treasurers Of his luxurious palace. In
front OF the clocks disk a gong was
swung npon poles, and near 1t was u
pile of artificial limbs. The pile was
made up Of the full number Of parts
necessary to constitute twelve perfect
bodies; but all lay heaped together in
apparent confusion. When the hands
Of the clock indicate the hour Of one,
out from the pile crawled just the
number Of parts to constitute the
frame Of one man, part coming to part
with quick metallic click and, when
completed the figure sprang up, aud
waking up to the gong, struck oao
blow that sent the sound peeling
through every corridor and room in
that stately palace. This done he re-
turned to the pile and tell to pieces
again. When two o'clock came. two
men arose and did likewise; aud at
the hours Of noon and midnight the
entire heap sprang up and. marching
to the gous, struck one after another
his blow, making twelve in all, then
returning fell to pieces aga,n.-[Troy
