TO SUMMER TOURISTS.

The great Jackson Route offer4 thesgreatest
Inducements to Eastern and Etsop&an tray
elers this season. 1t should bsrkndSS.e-to all
that this limo has been immensAly improved
during the past year. 1t has. inH Hact, been al
most entirely rebuilt. 1t now hf7<a fine steel
rail track, laid upon new tics a1si an excellent
road-bed. This enables it to Anake as fast
time as any line to New York with entire
safety and without the appearance of rapid
running, its connections from Cincinnati and
Chicago being among the finest roads in the
world. Attention is especially called tc-the fact
that the Jackson Route runs two daily trains
to New York and all the principal Eastern and
Northern cities. The train leaving at D. m.
one hour later than any other line, makes ex-
actly the same time to New York as its
quickest rival; and the q. IN. train makes
one and half hour quicker time to New
York than any other train from New Orleans.
There nre no through cars to Nep York bv am
line. The Jackson Route has but one change
of cars, which is made in Union depot, Gin
cinnati, at $ q. m.
Passengers direct to New York by the Jack
son Route pass through the splendid scenery
and cool air Of the Allegheny Mountains. Those
going by Chicago pass by daylight in full
view of Niagara Falls, and also have but one
change of cars from New Orleans to New
York.

The i'll temper that some of the Western news.
papers are showing on account of our mint ap.
preparation is in very bad taste to say the least
The mint disease seems to havebeen epidemic
throughout the West. st. Louis, Cincinnati
Omaha, Chicago, Springfield, Indianapolis
all had it badly. The newspapers of these
towns encouraged the people into the belief
that they were going to get round million
for mint, which was to give work to all their
unemployed laborers.
The ST. Louis Republican, shows the worst
temper on this subject of any of the Western
press. The appropriation for our mint was
all a put-up job, it declares, concocted by the
Speaker, the chairman of the Appropriation
Committee and the Louisiana delegation.
1t charges the other mint delegations.
particularly the members from Indiana. with
treachery. Had Indianapolis, Cincinnati, St.
Louis ct al. worked together" it continues,
@we might have defeated the chances of New
Orleans, and then each of these places would
have had its chance" This is a good Western
argument. On one side it was
clearly shown thatit would cost less than one
fifth as much to restore the New Orleans mint
as to build new one; that the Senate was
strongly in favor of locating the new mint
at New Orleans; that more members OF
the House favored New Orleans than
any other individual city; and, lastly,
Garfield, who can hardly be supposed friendly

Mr.. Phillips, of Kansas, called the attention
of Congress the other day to the fact that the
United States had just gained the sum of
$4,000, 900, from an unexpected source When
1t was decided to take up and redeem our old
fractional currency an amount equal to this
currency was set aside for this purpose.
This was one Of the few appropriations of
Congress that did not fall short Of the
purpose 1t was intended for instead Of
doing 80, after all our fractional currency had
been redeemed, it was found that there was
100000 Of the appropriation left over
representing the amount that the govern
ment had made by printing its notes on bad
and rotten paper. This is not very reputa-
BILE way of making money; still the govern
ment cannot now do otherwise than keep this
money.
The chances are, however. that in a very
short time we will find this $4,000, 900 credited
to the reduction Of the Federal debt, and Re
publican papers will compliment the Repub-
lican administration for this reduction OF our
debt In the midst Of the present hard times.
1t is noticeable fact that the government
owes this inheritance to the worthlessness and
rottenness of it's notes. Ii the worthlessness
of its officials was generally as profitable,
instead of paying Off only S1o.OO0,OOo year
the Federal government ought TO be able to
pay Off annually ten times as much.

lcal, with no friendly feelings to the South.
showed the advantages and necessity ofhaving
a mint here Not word Is said In contradiction
Of these facts; the whole argument Of the
Republican is that New Orleans being the
strongest competitor In the field for the mint,
1t was the duty of the Western representa-
tlves to have united to beat her, and then
fight 1t out among themselves, there was
money in 1t. The other cities, however,
proved treacherous, and thus this scheme ac-
cordingly fell through. This little confession
of the Republican may open the eyes of our
people TO some of the eccentricties of the
river and harbor appropriation bill.

a lady with fashionable bonnet practically
prevents large portion OF the audience from
seeing and enjoying the play. The new sys-
tenn proposed by the managers of the Cincin-
natl festival that the ladies should unhon-
net themselves at the theatre has been re-
ceived everywhere with Joy and applause. The
Chicago theatre managers announce their de-
termination to enforce this rule in their city
next year, and theSt. Louis papers insist that
1t shall be enforced there also. Perhaps this
improvement may find it's way even here.
Let us at least hope so.
In London this rule has always been in
sisted on at the opera; of late the theatres
also have begun to enforce it. A London
manager was arrested few months since for
| refusing lady admittance to his theatre be-
cause she declined to remove her bonnet.
The question was carried before rnagis-
trate, who, after hearing argument in the
case, decided that managers clearly have the
right to make any rules they see tit that this
was not q severe, or improper, or unjust rule,
bonnet, the manager had perfect right to re-
fuse TO admit her to his theatre.
Another good rule laid down by the mar
ayers Of this Cincinnati festival is to com
pletely ignore all encores. No attention will
be paid to them, and the programme will not
be changed in any respect because some few
persons in the audience insist on it.
Here is another European custom that has
been carried to an equal excess here. In
Europe, where Kissing is allowed, there is
some meaning in the encore, since 1t expresses
approval. Here. where Kissing is practically
prohibited under penalty of being put out by
the policeman or locked up all night. the
encore loses it's significance. In New York.
the other night, the absurdty of this system
was well illustrated at a reading tournament.
There were some sixteen ladies who read.
every one of whom had her clique Of friends
In the audience They all therefore received
encores. and as the friends and relatives of
every one OF these sixteen were unwilling to
see their favorite get fewer eucorea than the
others, the applause was kept up all night
long. until q compromise was finally struck
and the weary and disgusted audience allowed
to go home about p. m. Applause is legiti-
mate, although often inappropriate; enroree
a barbarism. a terrible inflction on those who
do not care to hear a stupid song poorly sung
half dozen times because a small but noisy
portion of the audience demand it.

Go from home to o'hear the news.

Go from home to hear the news. The fol
lowing is clipped from the New York World:
The last of Lafitte's buccaneers, Achile Ar
nauld, died n few days ago in Louisiana,
aged 81. His death was due TO visit last
winter to Illinois, where the change Of eli
mate prostrated him. His tomb lies on what
was formerly known as the German coast, -
not far from the scenes of his most memor-
able exploits. the Great Pass Of Barataria
and the island Of Grande Terre, He was the
last Of the buccaneers. and with his death the
memory of this once powerful league, which
fought and conquered sixty years ago under
the insurgent flag Of Carthagena, Is reIegated
forever to the past and to American history.

The New York World has IateIy h,

The New York World has lately been inves-
tigating the subject of tenement houses in
New York city. and finds the showing far
more unpleasant than it had expected. It has
always been known that certain portions of
New York city are more densely populated
than any part of London, Paris, or indeed any
other large city in the civilized world the
highest average being 275.OD0 to the square
mile; but 1t was scarcely expected that as
large portion of the population of the city
lived In tenement houses as 1t is now found,
do. According to the latest figures attainable
no less than $4,000 people in New York city,
or nine-tenths of the entire population live in
tenement houses. As there are only q 900 OF
these houses, this gives an average of over
forty persons to the house. The majority of
these houses are small and narrow and
wholly without yards of any kind They are
utterly unfit for residences, either in summer
or winter. The local authorities are doing
their best to remove some of the ncon-
veniences OF this system of living, and have
succeeded in clearing away much of the filth
and many OF the bad smells of the tenements.
This much they can accomplish; but it is i'm
possible ever to break up the tenement svs-
tenn In New York. That is disease peculiar
to Manhattan beyond the reach or cure of
philanthropists The average area of land to
each inhabitant Is smallest in New York and
Cincinnati OF all American cities, and largest
In New Orleans, Chicago and Philadelphia
The average house room to each person in
New Orleans is at least four times as great as
In New York. In this respect. at least, we are
far ahead OF the financial metropolis Of

Taxable Capital of national nanIs.

WAsllSGroS, November 16.-In an OPP
inion OF the Attorney General, dated Oct
ober IS, 1868, he holds that, SIN cstimat-
ing the Capital stock OF National banks,
which is liable to duty, there can not be
deducted therefrom the 1856 bonds Of the
District OF Columbia which they may
own.n The liability to duty above referred
to is that imposed upon National banks by
Section 52l4 OF the Revised Statutes OF the
United States. The opinion applies, how
ever with equal force to the deductivns by
banks and bankers OF capital invested in
United States bonds, allowed in determin-
mig the taxes imposed by Section 340S, Re-
vised Statutes. Chapter Eight, Title
XXXy. Internal Revenue.

+ ZASrsyILLE, November 1G.-The body
snatching sensation is still the topic Of con.
yersation here, although the temper OF the
people has considerably melted. J.oW.
Brown, representing Russell's livery sta:
bic, in Columbus, came down to-day and
identified the horse driven by Eaton, alias
Evans, US belonging TO Russell, and says
that DR.. Ieyl hired the horse on Wednes-
day morning to drive to the Reservoir. He
was permitted TO take the horse back to
Columbus this evening. The wagon isy yet
unclaimed. It's identity will doubtless de-
velop another link in the chain OF circum-
stances connecting DR., Heyl with the
choulish work. 1t was reported on the
street this evening that Hilliard had bro
ken down, sent for minister, and un-
bosomcd the whole transaction, but upon
visiting Iiilliard in his cell few minutes
ago find that the rumor Is false.
Rev, Mr.. Shrom called at the station
house to-day, and had talk with the
Young culprit, and this circumstance
doubtless gave rise to the report. There
is no sure thing, however, that Hilliard
will not acknowledge the corn before many
hours. The evidence that he was at the
cemetery on the night OF the robbery Is
strongly cumulative, as he was seen at 5
o'clock Thursday morning by two police
men, coming from that direction and took
drink OF whisky to warm him up. He
had marks Of fresh mud upon his cloth
ing.
A letter was also found conveying the
information to DIR. Heyl that his horse was
in GAINESVILLE, dated November II, and the
writing has been identified as that OF Hill
liard's.
Evans, alias Eaton, was before the grand
jury to-day, and has, no doubt, made q
clean breast. There seems TO be no doubt
in the minds OF the people but that the
right parties have been arrested, and oil
are safely quartered in prison. Hilliarl in
the station.house and Heyl and Eaton In
the Jail. Ililliard, when asked II he did
not prefer to go 10 the jail, inquired II
Hcyf and Eaton were there, and upon be-
ing answered in the affirmative, said no,
he had gotten enough OF them.
