Stylish Mothers,

mortar and he will be fool still.
Personal applications may be made
to writers who send line around the
world of the press which reads:
There are too many stylish mothers
If the writer means to fling stone at
women who spend their maternal life
in becoming animated advertisers OF
costly drygoods. who have no consider
alton for their husbands pocket.books,
who turn over their children TO wet
nurses, and incarcerate them like SO
mary little prisoners in nursery rooms,
he is right but no such exception is
made. The melancholy truth is that
there are not enough truly stylish moth
ers. A girl uses every art of adorn.

Nsssrs. Eiitors The report ofthe late Grand
Jury relative to county expenditures, &c, although
courteous 10 the County Commissioners, has in
some respects misreprescnted their actions. At
their request and wishes will show in what res
pect that Misrepresentation has been made. They
feel assured that this action on the part Of the
Grand Jury occurred through mistake and not
through any motive Of wishing to throw dis
credit on the Board. The first objection which
the Grand Jury End to the levy list Is that the
salaries Of Collectors do not appear thereon.
The Board in this particular was guided solely
by me, as attorney. / had, previous to the close
ofOurlevy, noticed the published levy list Of other
counties and failed 10 see this item Of expense
contained therein. which fact first called my at
tention TO IL. then examined the law Of 1874,
which Is the Law now in force, relative to Reve-
nue and Taxes, and ! discovered that this was
expressly forbidden by that law. That this POI
sition may be more clearly seen, win quote the
section Of that act, which bears upon this point.
Section 30. The County Commissioners in the
several counties, shall on or before the third
Tuesday in April In each year, or as soon rs
thereafter may be, appoint a collector Of their
respective COUNTIES and il shall n0tbe lawful for
the local authorities Of the said counties 10 pro-
vide any fixed animal, or other stated compen-
sation for the collection Of the State Taxes; nor
shall the County Commissioners provide any sai-
cry Of oay hind sny othsreomPassafiOHfo for their
services In collecting the State and county taxes
otherwise than by q per esEtEm on the amount
n their collections as contemplated by this
arfieie.'' This Is the act under which the
County Commissioners are nov acting, and any
intelligent man can see that such . mode Of al
lowing CclIestor's salaries would be in direct
eonfiirt with The Law. The commission for col
lecting county taxes is now regulated in the sane
