Reward for Charley Re.s.

The father of Charley Ross hss consented that P. T. Barnum offer the following re- ward for the recovery of his son. It is sup posed that one of the conditions is that Bar mum shall have the privilege of exhibiting the child. if found:
 will pay sl0.0O0 in cash for the delivery to me alive of the kidnapped child Charley Ross, or for information that will lead to his recovery. l most solemnly and sacredly pledge my word of honor and my reputation as an upright business man, not to attempt for myself to discover the identity of the persons negotiating with me in this matter, nor to convey to any other person any hints or clews by which any accusation, or even suspicion, shall be directed against them. The parents of the child unite with me in this pledge, and agree, if their darling child is by this means restored to them, Co aban- don all attempts 10 punish any person con- nected with his abduction or concealment; they agree never to appear against such par ties, and with myself will use every endeavor to shield them from exposure. For the last three years these parents have suffered more than death, and now that Mosher and Doug lass, the rcal abductors, are dead. it is hoped that the persons who have the child in GUS tody will be willing to accept this reward and immunity. The reward shall be paid m current money as soon as the child is identified by it's parents. As an additional security to the persons bringing him. reas- onsble time shall elspse between his deliv- cry and the public announcement of the fact, that the parties delivering him shall have every opportunity to avoid discovery.

 to know that such . thing ss an honest
 regular well advised system of raising mon. ey, or icvying taxes % as 'o raise the bur. dens properly and not oppress the tax pay CTS. has never been known in that unfOrta. nate region. The taxes levied are specific and inhumsn Co degree that ought to have spread a revolution long yesrs ago, and woul4 In any nation not cursed with the Mohammedan religion. The babe, q day old, is taxed for exemption from the miii- 1 tary service, and the tax is never remiited except when in active service. No class Is exempt. Tsen comes the farmers and peas ants, who are taxed almost to death. The owner of piece of ground pays first a real estate tax of five per cent and then four per cent on lis income. Then he pays the As har ten per cent of all he produces These ieyies take l9 per cent and If he keeps live stock, he pays one tenth of the value of each animal each year. Then he must pay 2t per cent on the sale of cattle, and if he kills lamb he pays paister tax for it.
 On timber there is tax of l3 per cent and everything the farmer has to eat, drink or wear, or that he produces, Is heavily 'aANNt aAfN kaAtr " snt communities, which last arc often called upon to pay over large sums, that must be wrung from the people. There arc imposts upon rents, upon legacies, upon all transfers of property, both buyer and seller having to pay. There are taxes to pay for going into villages and coming out of them, for cross ing boundaries, and almost everything pos sible to conceive of. And yet, with all this onerous taxation, the Turkish Treasury is always empty for the simple reason that the system of collecting taxes is so cumbrous and costly that large part of the revenue is consumed in collecting it, and the taxstion is SO heavy, that it destroys industry and en- terprise and keeps the people so poor they can barley exist. Hence the universal pow eriy that results; the want of public spirit; the want of good roads; the want of im- provemcnt in every direction and the general ignorance and torpor of the people.

A NEW USE FOR SAND. The incompressi- biiity of sand is suggested tn the American Journal of Industry as 2 cheap and ready means of making supporting columns and bases for anyils, or for blocks designed to support heavy weights. Sand inclosed in thin wooden or iron walls. if thoroughly shaken down, may be made to sustain q much greater weight than the walls or cyl finders alone. by placing all the weight di- rectly on the sand and quite free from the walls that retain 1t. Wooden boxes filled with sand thus make excellent supports for anvi!s for tables for laboratory work. So long as the pressure is vertical, the sand will sustain far greater weights and resist heavier blows than could bc borne by solid blocks Of wood of the same size.

Completion of . Military Telegraph Lias
 Aeress the Censipent.
'lFoa ts. ssa fr.aeAses c.lll

During the past two years the Signal Ser
 vice branch of tho Government, under the
 direction of General Mycr, has performed considerable work an the extension of miii- tary telegraph lines. The United States now runs and operates 1900 miles of wire in Texas and about 400 miles in Arizona and
 Mexico. Recently near Santa Fe, New
 Mexico, the New Mexico and Arizona sys- tems were connected, so there is now a con tinuous southern line across the continent. At Santa Fe the Western Union lines run hing from Denver, Colorado, into New Mexi- co, connect with the Government wires, all though the latter operates the line from Santa Fe, New Mexico. to Pueblo, Colorado. lt is now in contemplation to connect the Texas and New Mexico divisions by build ing down the Rio Grande from Mesilis, New Mexico, via Fl Paso to Fort Stockton, Texas, a distance rf 250 miles. Lieutenant Philip Resdc, U. <. A, who has superin,endod opc- ratlons in the field of Arizona and New Mexico during the past eighteen months or two yearS. recently built the line from Santa fe to Mesilia, and all that is now required to make connection with the Texas system is the closing of this gap between MessiIa and Fort Stockton. The Government wires in Texas connect with the Western Union lines from New Orleans and Galveston. The ap- propriation of $50.0 .0O0 for building and re- pairing in New Mexico and Arizona is al- most exhausted, bat the actual work accom- plished has exceeded the Congressional esti- mates as to the number of miles that could be built with the sum appropriated. Lieu tenant Reade, under General Myers direc- tion, has built 400 miles and rebuilt 600 miles. The rebuilding consists of putting in new poles to take the place of inferior material, which was hastily put in some years ago. An ingenious method of utiliz- ing the scrubby mesquite weod to stump soft and perishable timber like cottonwood and poplar, has been devised. The last named woods will decay below the surface of the ground in two years time, but when opposed 10 the dry atmosphere they will last for great many years. The mesquit is al. most impenetrabe, but its gnarled, missha- pen and dwarfed nature renders it unfit for use as pole. In order to utilize both, the mesquit is put Tn the ground as a stump, and the poplar fastened to it by means of ingenious clasps and iron spikes.
 The military telegraph line is not equal 10 the Western Union line in point of dura- bility. The wire. however. is of the best class, and the general electrical apparatus is good, hut the poles are lighter and shorter. As it was necessary to haul the timber for wire supports over the desert in wagons, the | economy of transportation had to be studied, | and the material of the country utilized. l There is a rumor that the Western Union l will purchase from the Government the | military line from San Diego to Yuma.
