Daughters College,

AT Harrodsburg, KY, whose adver-
tisement appears in this paper, is one
of the Oldest and most celebrated in
stitutions for the education of women
in the State. Many of the most ac-
complishcd and useful women of the
country claim it with pride as their
alma mater, and are now sending
their daugeters to take their places in
its halls. 1t is situated on the site Of
the old Greenville Springs-whosc
waters are so famous-and is sur
rounded by one tf the most lovely and
healthful regions in the West. No
institution has done more to elevate
the standard Of female education, and
the constant patronage it has received
from all the surrounding States; as
well as from Kentucky, indicates the
high esteem in which its methods and
appointments are deservedly held.

The Government is determined TO
grant nothing to the tobacco trade.
They may yield slight concessions ;
chiefly in the form of Select Com
mittee of Injury, to other branches of
commerce, but the tobacco trade is
lelt quito ont in the cold. Members
OF the trade have certainly nothing to
thank Sir Stafford Norlhcote for,
inasmuch as this gentleman, having
done the trade q great injury, will
not even give their grievances hear
ing. We are informed that few
days ago, letter was addressed to
the Chancellor of the Exchequer on
behalf OF the principle tobacco man.

asking him to receive a deputation on
the question Of manufacturing to-
bacco in bond following up the dep
utation towards the end OF January
last. One of the next four DAYS was
suggested, but Sir Stafford North
cote has replied that he cannot at
present receive depntation owing to
the pressure of official business. We
have not noticed that there has been
much real work done in Parliament
lately although there has been good
deal of time wasted in offensive per.

The Tax on Tobacco.

The receipts of the bureau ofinternal
revenue from the tax OIL tobacco do
not as yet bear out the predictions OF
the officials of the treasury that a
decrease Of the tax from twenty-four
to sixteen cents per pound would re-
suit in n loss of ten millions of dol
lars per year TO the government. On
the contrary, the returns for May and
June, the two months that have
elapsed since the reduction was made
by Congress, showan increase in the
revenue oyer that collected during
the corresponding period last year.
The amount of tax collected in May
and June, 1878, was $7,G25,8I7, and
for the same months in 1879, $l0,l2I,-
75l, showing an increase for 1879 of
81 ,596;034. The high figures for May
1879, result largely from the included
special tax oil license paid during
that month, which brings into the
treasury about $l,0O0,00O making
May always an exceptional month in
this regard. Then the fact that the
tax was TO be lowered on May in.
terfcred with the sales from The time
of its agitation in Congress, which
was in January last, The taxes for
February, March, and April aggrega-
ting only six millions: eight hundred
and five thousand dollars, or slightly
less than for May alone. This large
increase Immediately following the
reduction of the tax, was natural, but
the continued large revenues for June
are less easy of explanation, save on
the basis of larger consumption, due
to this natural growth OF population
and TO the greater cheapness of the
article, making the collection of the
tax much easier and more effective
