The subject of an income tax on in
come, over $4,000 is again discussed in
Washington, and newspaper cores
Dondents declare that there is a very
strong feeling among Southern and
Western men, sOft-mOney men general
ly and Greenbackers particularly, in
favor of this tax, and that the question
will be brought before Congress at the
earliest possible moment. 1t is not gen.
orally known whatan enormous revenue
the government had from the income
tax during, the years it was in force.
The total is shown to have been $780,
908, 73S or enough to pay the present in
terest on the entire public debt for four
years. The tax ran from 1863.to 1878.
The highest revenue was reached
in 1866, when 1889, 100 was paid in
under tIisehead. The next highest was
500, 0lt ,429, in 1867, and 81, 800, 500, in
1853. But it is not proposed by the adj
vocates OF the measure to levy a tax
sufficient to raise any such enormous
amount as this. 1t is computed that a
tax of 2 per cent on all incomes in ex-
cess of $4,000 would yield SIC, 200, 900 an
nually and not hurt anybody. 1t is
proposed to make it apply to govern
ment officials as we'll as other people,
who in many, instances receive salaries
far in excess of what they could earn on
their merits in the open market. For
the ten years that the income tax was
in force over $14,000,000 was received
from the tax on official salaries.-[N. O.

A DEADLY POINT OF PROVINCIAL
TIoN.-At wedding in South Carolina
last month an incident occurred aptly
illustrating social life in the United
States. The bridegroom, who belonged
to the first Southern families,s took
exception to the phraseology of the Off
ciating clergyman and remarked, "You
shouldn't say those uns whom the Lord
hath jined together, but them uns."
The preacher, who prided himself upon
the Enlightened quality of his IAN
guage, quietly dropped his hand into
the pocket of his surplice and inter-
polated q" You jist paddle your own ca
noe, young felier, Or your troublall
begin SUNG enuff. I'm runnin this tea
party, Iam,-as | said afore, my beloved
hearers-those uns as the Lord D
Just then the bridegroom made mo-
ton towards his hip, but before lie could
draw thesminister fired from his pocket
and the young man fell dead at his feet.
Instantly the whole church was filled
with blazing pistols. In less than five
seconds the only person lett alive was
the bride, who had ducked behind the
pulpit early in the action. The half
married female gazed musingly around
and remarked as she started for home
I" These self-cocking revolyers is play
ing the mischief round here, and that's a
fact !"-[San Francisco Post.

OUR RA1LRoAD.-Wea are informed by
our esteemed friend Eli A. Perkins, who
has just returned home from Galveston,
where he met Capt. T. r. Reynolds who
informed him that he was ready to
leave for this place, via Orange, with
his steam tug Alert and two barges, to
engage in the transportation of material,
from the Calcasieu Pass to Lake Charles,
for our railroad. He also had an inter
view with Col. Adams, who directs the
construction of the Louisiana Western
Railroad, which fully verified the state
ment of Capt. Reynolds; also, that there
are expected daily two steamers at the
Calcasieu Pass, loaded with material
for the road, and that the said steamers
would likely load with Calcasieu lum-
Der, for foreign market, and that work
on the railroad is to be commenced here
at once.
4. Our informant; Mr.. Perkins, is we'll
known as one of our most respected and
reliable citizens, and the above news is
therefore perfectly reliable.-[Lake

Massachusetts has dog tax, the pro-
ceeds of which are mainly devoted to
the support of public libraries. 1t is
proposed to giy9o1O per cent of this tax
to the State Agricultural College. Char
les Francis Adams, on behalf Of the
Quincy Library, protests in remon-
STRANGE addressed to the Legislature.
He does not see why these funds should
be diverted to the use of can institu-
ton in which neither the inhabitants
nor the dogs of Quincy have any per-
ceptible interest, except of the most
remote and general character" All
the new books of the Quincy Library
are paid for by the dogs, or by the dogs
owners, at least, and the proposed
change would have bad effect upon
the literary acquisitions Of the old
town.-[N. O. Democrat.

Am Interesting Exhibition.
IN. O. Democrat, April 6th.l

n. ". DcinoSIut, aplll ot4'I
A large number of gentlemen assem-
bled yesterday at No. 10 Robertson
street, in the rear of Morz' brewery, to
witness an exhibition OF the Wlndhau-
sen refrigerating machine, which 1t is
thought by its owners can be, success
fully used in disinfecting by the freeZ-
ing process vessels from the yellow
fever countries.
The machine was given a fair test,
and certainly if there is anything in the
belief that cold does destroy the yellow
fever germ, it would appear from the
results of the experiment yesterday that
the machine, or a similar one, Is just
the one to be used in producing freeZ-
ing temperature in the hold OF IL vessel.
No chemicals are used, and the cold All
which comes from the machine does SO
with sufficient force and IN sufficient
volume to penetrate any and every part
of ships hold.
Yesterday the machine was connected
with the butt room of MerZ' Brewery, a
place as large as an ordinary house.
Just previous to starting to work the
thermometers hanging within it were
examined and found to register 60 de-
grees. The place was closed and the
engine started, and in half an hour
after the room was opened and the
thermometers again examined, it was
found that the temperature had been
reduced to 20 degrees; one OF the Their
mometers, hanging III the current OF
air, marked ten degrees below zero, )
a thermometer was then placed in
+ the tlue which conveyed the air to the
room, near to the cylinder from which
the air issued, and in a minute and a
half it was taken out covered with
frost, so cold that it was painful to the
touch, and registering 30 degrees below
zero. 1t is claimed that the longer the
machine works the colder the tempera-
ture of the room or vessel with which it
is connected becomes, and that i'll a
reasonable time, the temperature OF,
say the hold of a ship, could he reduced
many degrees below zero.
The machine and the manner of its
working is difficult to explain, and can
not be we'll understood by one who is
not practical machinist or engineer.
Suffice it to say that the results arc
obtained by compression and expansion
of the air.

She will if you can prove that the

you four or five letters from reformed
cannibals. But don't you mind 'em. My
opinion is she wrote them herself"

The introduction Of the use of the

Judge Prince went out, has been the
occasion of some local humor in the
newspapers Of the Territory. The Santa
Re papers insist that at Las Vegas the
sheriff ransacked the town in vain for
two days in search of. the necessary
volume, and finally only succeeded by
borrowing one from convent. The
Las Vegas papers ret0rt that when the
Bible was Introduced into the court at
Santa Re, the lawyers seized on it and
read it with avidity for some hours, I'M
agining that it was q New Eastern pub
