A Sick senator.

The excessive corpulency Of a GER
tain United States Senator has long
been the butt OF editorial wit and
spicy ben NETS from the pens of Wash
ington correspondents. Few persons
have suspected that his obesity was a
disease, and liable to prove fatal. -
Yet this is the sad fact. Excessive
fairness is not only disease in itself,
but one liable to generate other and
more serious ones. Chemistry has at
last revealed safe, sure, and rel able
remedy for this abnormal condition
Of the system in Allan's Anti. fiat. -
Distinguished chemists have pronounc
ed it not only harmless but very bene.
fetal to the system, while remedying
the diseased condition. Sold by drug.

THE ScbOOL Tar

A correspondent from Carroll county
desires to know whether il has been de-
cided that school tax voted by coun-
ty is illegal. Carroll county votes on
the first Saturday in March for an addi-
tional levy of school tax. No such de-
cision was ever made rs to counties. A
decision on the subject as to civil dis
tricts rested on grounds which do not APP
ply to counties. The county is a quasi
corporation, Il substantive part of the
government, has being right to sue and
be sued, to create debts, while the dis
trict has no such existence in this State.
No decision has ever been made affecting
the right of the county to levy such tax,
and none has ever disputed the right of
the counties to levy such tax when au-
thorized by law, MS they are in the
school .-NdShrille American.
