~ Louis, Mo, November @, says:-"A sim
gular suit was filed in one OF the city courts
10 day, the plaintiff being Rev Clam Rap-
tiste Salvifellt, an italian Catholic priest,
and The defendant the Right Rev Archbishop
PeItr X. kendTfck. A bout a month ago
Father Salvatelli, who was the priest in
chaTge of ST. BOnaventura church, in this
city had serious difficulty with hi co1gre-
CATION, the latter charging the pastor with
tie no less heinous crime than that of rob
biDg the church of two valuable pictures
one of the CrucihxiOn aud one of St Francis,
together with valuable altar ornaments
vessels, angels, &c. Archbishop Kendrick
took the matter in hand, and peremptoriIy
dismissed the priest add restored the prop
erty to the church. The expelled priest now
brings suit to recover the articles named or
their value, alleging that they are his own
private property, and that he had right to
take them. and also for eight year. sa larry
hrst at $1,000 per year, and subseq uentiy
Slt00, the total aggregate amount claimed
being placed at Si1 200. The ca Sc excites con-

7ox. of Boston, referring to the suit, writes :

SON, of Boston, referring to the suit, writes
also beg leave cali your attention to the 1aet
that all the or;sinal acts have been re-
pcalcd by the repeating section OF the heSisco
Statutes OF 1874; and. as some changes were nlaae
in the revised ecction relating to legal tenders
the Revised Statutes must be considered the only
net now in force, whence will arise the question
whether IN act passed in 1874. in time OF pEofonno
peace, is not condemned upon the same reasoning
by which the Court sustained the acts OF lso@ anu
1863.
The Boston Bulletin says:
It is impossible to cxaggcratc the Importance OF
the suit referred to By Mr. ATKINSON. Thc assue
it raises 1as the most vitsl practical bearlnsa ana
when its relation to currency system ano 10 'he
business interests OF the nation come to DC onocs

publ!c anxicties too many Of which arc no" rack

to be hoped that the case mar not be needlessiY
prolonged by legal processes. 1t is to DC presumed
that the determination Of the case will 'nnlnlT &C.
pend upon the view to be taken by the supreme
Court as to the force and effect of the Revised stat

in nroportion as the earnings rise above the
standard. The Communist remedy tor thls
is to take from all persons whose earnings
exceed the common sum, and distribute ~
o,nopr those who earn less, or even nothing.
MIR. HARRISON proposes, therefore, to conhs-
cate a portion Of the earnings of the men
who earn 50, So, 81, and S. day to pay tor
the support by the State of those who earn
nothing. Tho paternh system Of government
which takes from those who earn to feed
aud clothe those who do not earn is founded
on the identical principle embodied IN dAR"
H1soSs Income-Tax bill The bill is not one
to tax incomes, because such tax, II non
estly levied and collected, would be
uniform and just,-every man paying ac-
cording to his receipts, no more and no less.
This bill has for its purpose the pursuit anu
punishment Of industry. skill, perseverance,
thrift, and intelligence. The man who saves
a portion of his earnings, allowing them to
accumulate until they become source OF
income equal to his labor, is, according 10
the principle Of HAnn1soS's bill, IN enemy
of soc1ety,-one who is possessing himself
of the heritage of mankind; who is drawing
n double share of the 1ife-blood of labor,
md piling up wealth with which he anu ms
descendants shall enslaye the sons OF 1o11.
The processes Of the tax are characteristic"
The annual tax on $4,000 is $50; on 81 ,ooo,
tho ta1 is $50; on $o5, 900, the tax is S'1'o;
on $40, 600, the tax is $1,000; and on S9o'-
600, $500. This Is not a tax on lncomes'
but q ta1 on individuals, because tho
incomes are not to be taxed accord
ing to their proportion; oil principles
of uniformity Of rnto are disregarded, and
the progressive policy Of forcibly despolhng
those who have property and income to sup
mort those who have no property and have
no income is adopted. Mr. HARRISON, we
believe, may clnim the distinction Of being
the first member of Congress who has COM
uitted himself to the Co1nmunistic doctrine
that wealth is public evil, to be abated by
prompt coniscation, aud distribution OF it
among those who have no wealth and do not
labor to acquire it.
The income tax was in force in this coun-
try several years. 1t was found to bo very
unjust, because of the impossiblllty OF enforc-
ing if. One-half of those who were subject
to the tax escaped taxation. The tax wns
inquisitorial, ye1ehous, and led to perjury
and fraud. The honest few of moderate IN
comes were the victims, while the multitude
escaped, We do not understand that the
country desires the revival of nny Of the War
taxes; on the contrnry, the demand is uni
yersnl for reduction of all taxes and re-
duction in all expenditures. Mr. HARR1soS's
tux is not on1y untimely, but unjust: and un-
fair in its application.

computed, it is the one Thousand ohl'on1n
mart of the weight of the whole earth-ball OF
land and sea. The capacity Of the Golfer IN
the Kings chamber of the pyramid IS IN e.
net diyisor of the whole capacity of the build
ing: and it contains 12,50o cubic inches OF
woter at 6S degrees Fahrenheit, which is the
equivalent Of $500 pounds pyramid, one OF
which is not very different from our pound
ayoirdupois. Theinterior chamber Of the pyra-
mvd always has MI even temperature, which,
AIr. sE1ss has discovered, is the mean OF
the earth's temperature. He infers, IN
summing up its properties, TINT the Great
Pyramid proves itself abundantly competent
to determine on natural and most scientific
bssis oil measures Of length, weight, capac1-
ty, and heat!
While We may not be prepared to go with
him quito to this longth, we may safely say
that le has written of wonderful things, and
deserves as much praise for his patience rs
for his credulity. Nor should his large
faith and his still larger pretens'ons
entirely destroy the confidence of all
readers in his narrative. He hns mingled
the true with the false and the unknown IN
inextricablo confusion; but, as it would not
bo safe to accept his conclusions IN mass,
neither would it be wise to reject them IN
the same manner. 1t is not Mr.. SE1ss, but
Prof. SMYru, Astronomer-Royalf for Scotland,
who il responsible for most that has been
written on this subject. It is, indeed, in their
astronomical significance that the pyramldal
relations arc most important. Sir JoHN
HERscHE1 showed unnistakably, in 1889,
that tho mouth of tho entrance tube
pointed, in the year 2170 before
CHRIST, to Ilphu Dr1conis, the then pole
star. Owing to the procession Of the
equinoxes, it no longer points in TINT direc-
ton; but $4,000 years from TINT time tho
unusual mark in the heavens which wes then
recorded will occur again. This astronomical
phenomenon has been accepted as meant to
be the sign of the date Of the building OF
the pyramid, which is thus fixed rs 4,o+7
wears ago. It has been found also TINT, at
the time of the building Of the pyramid, its
summit corner looked towards Alcyone IN
the P1eiedos, which is believed to be the
point towards which the whole solar system
is moving, and possibly the centre
Of tho universe. In view Of thes~ facts,
which the most learned astronomers we
rot disputed, who shall say thet there
were not astronomers before history began ;
or that profonnder secrets than any the world
now knows were not revealed to the race IN
its infancy, and lost again through the sloth
and corruption Of succeeding ages?
