There was also expended from the treas
ury for the State Colored Normal School In
Baltimore the sum Of $1,000. The un-
precedented amount Of school tax collect
ed in the year 1876 was, to a considerable
extent, the result Of the large collection Of
taxes in arrear in that year from banks
and other corporations. A like amount
Of receipts can hardly be expected upain
upon the present basis.
Some of the officers Of the school board.
in few Of the counties, have expressed
dissatisfaction at the quarterly distribu-
tious Of school tax as established by the
uniform construction Of the law and usage
Of the department. They contend that
the receipts Of school tax should not be
apportioned in four equal distributions,
but that the whole amount received N
advance Of any distribution day should BE-
distributed on that day. The comptroller
regards tho theory contended for BY them
as not only antagonistic TO the uniform
construction Of the law, but also to The
best interests Of the schools and the State.

A Well-Timed Ioke.

A BOUT a year ago a company of
"a eight or ten lumbermen went into
hotel in one of our Western cities and
engaged private pailor. They were
jolly, well to-do fellows, hale and hearty
and met to settle up a years business
over social glass, having had a success
full speculation together. Summoning
the gentlemanly clerk of the house, they
ordered him to Ct bring on the choicest
liquor to be obtained. Nothing but the
purest and finest article.'
The table was spread, glasses brought
out, and mirth prevailed. Pres
emily i'm came the clerk with silver
pitcher of ice-water, and as he filled
each goblet, with quiet dignity and not
smile on his countenance, he remark
ed: Gentlemen, I've done the best
could to obey your order, and here Is the
purest article to be found I'm the United
States.
All looked on in dumb amazement, so
unexpected and SO ludicrous was their
position. But they were equal to the
occasion. Not word was said till each
had his glass before him filled with the
sparkling fluid. Almost simultaneous
ly all raised their glasses, and pledging
each others health, made the additional
one of promising not to drink anything
stronger for the year to come. Nearly
twelve months have passed, and they
have been loyal to their vow. May we
not hope that the pledge will be renewed
for life !

+" Night Walking"

Thomas Ryan with the spectre of an
ignominious end before him, only few
hours before death wrote to his parents
letter which was found in his cell. In
that letter was the following agonizing
sentence
g Tell my brothers, for Gods sake,
and for my sake, to lead different lives,
or they will rue 1t in the future. Shun
Night Walking and Bad Company
That is the wish of their dying brother"
How many young men who have
gone to the prison and the gallows wish
they had avoided might walking and
bad company ere it was too late
" Night walking" is one of the most di-
rect roads to the gallows and is the cause
of great many sleepless hours on the
part of parents and guardians, who have
lived long enough to see the bad effects
arising therefrOm in the downward
courses of their sons, who laugh at,and
disregard the admonitions of the dearest
friends they have in this world. There
Is no place so safe for young men at
night as the homes of their parents or
guardians, where virtue and wisdom is
inculcated, and the foundations of
healthy and useful lives arelead. Young
men, heed the miserable murderer's ad-
vice, and avoid night walking and bad
company"

A Checkered Life.

Miss Cora Dickson, a young girl of
twenty-five, arrived in Paris the other
day from South America. Her life has
thus far been checkered one. AT the
age of fifteen, tired of the monOtony of
home, she ran away from her fathers
house with large sum of money. She
cut her hair short and donned n boys
garb. After becoming in succession a
cabin boy, clerk and horse dealer,
she turned up in Buenos Ayres, where
she entered the army, still disguised.
She distinguished herself in the service
and became colonel. Some months
ago at meeting of officers shequarreled
with one of those present. A duel fol-
lowed and she killed her adversary. On
examining the dead mans papers she
found that she had killed her Oldest
brother, who had left home when she
was two years of age. Horrsr-stricken,
she threw herself at the bishops feet,
who promised to intercede with her
father.

Paying for His whistle.

Not many years ago, when q lofty
building was on the point of completion,
the mason who was finishing the high
est portion was In the habit of whistling
to the laborer who attended him when
ever he wanted fresh supply of lime,
and, as the scaffold on which he wrought
was rather small, this occurred very
often during days work. A Joiner
who was fitting in a window immediate
ly underneath, noticing Pat answer du-
tifully to every whistle from the mason,
thought of playing q trick on him by
initiating the whistle, and thus brought
him up with hodful of lime when there
was no room for II. The mason told
pat that he had not whistled, so he had
no other alternative than to trudge back
with his load. This having occurred
for the third time during one day, Pat
thought lie would watch to hear where
the whistle come from. He had not
waited long with the hod ON his shoulder
when he heard the Identical whistle di-
rectly underneath where he stood, and,
leaning over, he saw the head of the
Joiner protruding out of the window i'm
mediately below. Pat, without more
ado, emptied the hod right over the
whistler's head. The joiner yelled and
spluttered while attempting to clear
himself from the adhesive mass, and in
the midst of his confusion, heard Paddy
above shouting at the top of his voice !:

THE BEST .EVIDENCE.


The following letter from Rev. L. s. Best, Pas
tor OF NJ K. Church, Natick, Mass, win be read
with interest by many physicians. Also, those
suffering from the same diseases as afflicted the
son OF the Rev. L. y. Best. No person can doubt
this testimony, as there il no doubt about the
curative powers OF VEGETINE.
NATICK. Mass, Jan. /, 1874
Mr. III. X. STEVENS Dear Sr.-We have good
reason for regarding your yegetine medicine
OF the greatest value. We feel assured that il has
been the means OF saving our sons life He is
now seventeen years of age; for the last years
he has suffered from necrosis of his leg caused BY
scrofulOus affection, and was so far reduced
that nearly all who saw him thought his recovery
impossible. .A,council of able physicians could
give us but the slightest hope Of his ever rally
ing, two of the number declaring that he was be
yOnd the reach Of human remedies, that even
amputatiOn could not save him. as he had not
vlg0r enough to endure she operation. Just then
we commenced giving him Vegetine and from
that day to the present he has been continuously
improving He has lately resumed his studies
thrown away his crntches and cane, and walks
about cheerfully and strong.
Though there Is still some discharge from the
opening where the limb was laneed we have the
fullest condolences that in little time he will be
perfectly cured.
He has taken about three dozen bottles of Veg
etine, but lately uses but little, as he declares
that he is too well TO be taking medicine.
Respectfully yours x: y. BEST.

The Curious Trap Into winch
Burgl lar Fell.


from the Dayton TO- journal
A burglar, in entering the residence OF
Mr.. A. {. Barney. last evening, was
caught st his own game. The house is
situated on the southwest corner of Fifth
aud Wilkinson streets, and an open lot on
the side. The craftsman appears to have
gone over the ground before, arranged
his plans, and last evening he came pre-
pared with all his tools, getting to work
as early as nine O'Clock, before the family
had yet retired. On the side of the house
facing the lot is small window, appar-
emily for the purpose of letting
light into the cellar. Such the thief took
to be, and having cut hole suffi-
GENTLY large in the glass. he let his
body through and dropped TO the floor.
Here he discovered his mistake. In.
stead OF being In the cellar he found
himself in small brick alley, with no
means of egress except by that he en-
tered. 1t had been built for the purpose
OF securing better ventilation for the
house, and was of the same depth as the
cellar, so that, while easy enough TO
enter, the man could not leave the place
without assistance from the outside.
In his efforts to extricate himself, after
discovering how he had been caught, the
family heard the noise, and after a short
search discovered the cause. MIR. Bar.

the thief and started for an officer. He
