Gently swept over the east of France,
man named Dannois was running
for shelter toward the farmhouse of
Huertvent whilst carrying . long
American pitchfork over his shoulder,
when he experienced strong shock
and was thrown to the ground, the

grasp. The implement was picked
up at distance of fifty meters from
the spot where the man fell. The two
prongs had been brought close to-

away in scales, having slight sui
phurous odor. The points OF the fork
had been drawn out and heightened
by several centimeters.

New York special TO Chicago Times.l
Attention was recently called to the
tax notice of 1878 served on William
H. Vanderbilt, which was returned
with the Endorsement of Mr.. Wander
bilt that he owned no personal prop
erty in excess of his debts. One of
the tax commissioners said to-day:
Ninety-nine persons out of one hun
bred would say ut first thought that
Mr.. Vanderbilt must have periured
himself in swearing to such a thing.
Personally | do not know him, but |
have no doubt that he told the truth.
The laws are so defective, the exemp-
tions of property by the United States
and State laws are so numerous, and
the means of evading taxation are so
many and so simple, that | am almost
surprised that any one pays a tax.
Our entire system of personal taxation
is little better than a farce. Legisla-
lures and courts have interfered with
it and tinkered it to such an extent
that all large properties escape taxa
ton, and the burden falls upon
widows and orphans, whose property
is in the surrogate's hands, and
upon small property owners who
are unable to place their pos
sessions where they will escape
assessment The gentleman gives
a few instances of the expedients en-
ployed to escape taxation. The pres
ident of one of the citys great corpo-
rations enjoys a salary and income of
S70,0OOa year. He lives in a costly
house on Murray Hill, and his pos
sessions of bonds, mortgages and secu-
rites are large. He was assessed on
personal property in this city. Under
oath he said he was a farmer by oceu-
patton, that his residence was in an
other county, and that he was not a
citizen of New York. Persons visit
ing Europe are usually followed BY
the tax notices. 1t is not an unheard-
of thing for them to go before an
American consul and make affidavit
that they are no longer citizens of the
United States. In a few months they
are back again in New York and
engaged in their usual business.
There are thousands of residents of
Brooklyn who own valuable personal
property in New York which the New
York assessors can not get hold of.
The Brooklyn assessors also miss it.
and for scores of years it has paid no
tax. The removal of securities from
New York to places of deposit in New
Jersey and Connecticut, and the tenn
conversion of taxable State or
city bonds hat can not be taxed are
some of the many devices to escape
taxation.

wages of the sexes have been made up

Massachusetts, the average earning

women, $685.. In Maine, men, S37;
women, SIS. In Pennsylvania, men.

for example - the custom of allow
ing the came salary to men and
women for the same kind of work is
growing general, In st. Louis no dis
tlnctiOn of sex is made in respect to
teachers pay. When women do mems
work, they receive equal wages. The
California legislature determined.
years since, hat female teachers in
the public schools should have the
same pay as male teachers for like
services. Some of the Southern States.
and Arizona, Idaho and Nevada pay
men and women equally, SO that ius-
tice is likely to be done ere long to all
women Obliged to earn their own live
lihood. Teachers of both sexes in the
schools, all primary, of Arizona, earn
from 500 to 1925 a month, but one
should be paid handsomely for merely
living in Arizona.

The new year 1879, remarks the
Philadelphia Ledger, opens with much
brighter prospects than its predecessor
Of one hundred years ago, which was
the fifth year of the war for indepen-
dence. One hundred years ago the
finances Of the country were in very
bad condition, chiefly because of the
circulation of Fat money rapidly
d%epreciating in value. To-day the
finances of tbe country are in excellent
condition In 1873 an attempt was
made to negotiate a four per cent. loan.
but, although the rate was raised to
six per cent, the money came in slow
ly. To-day a six per cent. loan is being
retired, replaced by a four per cent,
for which a million dollars a day is
subscribed. The year 1779 ended as
1t had begun, with gloomy forebodings
