"a scene from the hand of M of the
oldest and most accomplished of 1.-THE

phael and Angelo, his works all have a
point of resemblance, OF "mannerism,"

formed the background for his wonder

leaving as a legacy TO her loved ones
her new born babe, is one of the most
pathetic 'spieces." The name of this
artist is Disease. Scarcely a home in
all this land that has not one Of his pic

THE REP UBLIC OF CANADA.

Our readers have doubtless noticed
from time to time in our telegraphic
columns, news relative to the imposi-
ton Of tariffs on foreign importations,
by the government Of Canada. There is
a two-fold object in this movement--the
raising Of $1,000, 900. additional revenue,
and the protection of the Industrial and
commercialinterestso the confederated
provinces. The effect, however, is of a
wider and more important order. Eng
lish statesmen are confronted with the
question Of whether this Independent
action on the part Of Canada, which is
directed as much against England as
the United States, means the speedy
freeing Of the dominion from the
maternal ties OF Great Britain. The
mother country is under expense in
maintaining officials etc, in Canada,
and about the only recompense she
receives is in the trade by which her
merchants and commerce thrive in
supplying the wants of the Canadians.
But If this poor boon is to be taken
away, as ID has been already, for that
matter, England has little reason to
be proud Of a dependency which is not
dependency. There remains no sBlve
but the flattering nnction aver sooth-
ing to the Anglo-Saxons, that there are
British possessions in North America.
The English cannot be said to have
power in North America, since they
cannot restrain legislation fnimical to
their interests; but they c~onstructirely
govern that wide domain, and surely
there is a healing balm even in con-
struction.
Glory, however, is not to be lost with
cut a struggle, oil at. least an inquiry.
Hence the informal talk in the British
House of Commons on the motion to
ask the government II 1t has taken
notice Of the hostile legislation of Can
ada. The question was brought up by
those who desired the government to
work a reversal Of the action, because OF
the damage necessarily falling upon
sho hSio-Sulhtuldi tIiluc. uiiitfciit
feeling among some of the commoners
was o o developed. They favored
cutting off all connection of Great
British with Canada, If the radical
tariff laws were insisted upon. This
project of severing the connection by
statute and by and on the part of the
home government, was certainly start
ling, and much excitement was created.
There is promise of more debate on the
subject.
A little depression here is pardonable.
We cannot resist contrasting this feel.
ing of the commoners now, and that OF
the commoners one hundred years ago
against the American colonies. Then
the colonies were denied the rights Of
representation in the home government,
or to set up a government of their own,
either dependent or Independent. The
colonies finally declared themselves tt
be, land of right ought to be, free ant
independent states" A long, cost,
and bloody war followed, until lnall,
the contest ended and the independents,
Of the United States was recognized b,
Great Britain. Now, Canada has {
parliament Of her own; her province:
have legislatures oftheir own. Internal
progress is not tempered with by British
legislation. Canada is as nearly free
and independent as any people nay be
and still retain a yestipe of bom,oa =,

TO TAXPAYERS.
IMPORTANT NOTICE.
DELINQUENT TAXPAYERS


MEMPHIS, TENN., March l, 1879.
DY a decree of the United States Circuit
ID Court, entered February u, 1879, it is
made my duty "tO demand and collect all
the unpaid taxes due TO the city of Memphis,
in the lawful money of the United States"
and If necessary, to bring actions at law, or
suits in equity, against any person owing
debts or taxes to the city of Memphis"
This is, therefore, to make such demand,
and to notify all persons to come forward in
obedience to said decree, and make prompt
payment Of all such Indebtedness.
With full appreciation of the severe
stringeney which from many causes embar-
RAISES our people, most respectfully urge all
debtors to make every reasonable sacrifice to
comply with this decree, and thus avoid liti-
cation and expense. These unpaid taxes are
an incubus on Memphis, most seriously i'm
peding its progress. Our creditors greatly
Overestimate their real value, much to our
positive injury. Their confident belief that
nearly three millions of dollars, including
1878, should be collected on back taxes, is well
calculated to induce impatience and COM
plant.
A faithful payment Of all taxes actually due
would disabuse their minds Of this error, and
efectually encourage q much more liberal
spirit toward us in the future.
When all our citizens stand equal in the dis
charge Of their tax obligations, and the pay
ment of our city debt shall depend alone on
future assessments, the situation viii be much
more readily cOmprehended by our creditors,
and il eannet be doubted that the effect would
be highly favorable to us. The prompt pay
ment of these back taxes would, beyond all
deeht, lead directly. TO Tetief from our present
embarrassment and speedily TO a return of
former prosperity. Every good citizen of
Memphis is deeply interested in prompt
compliance with the order OF the Court.
All taxes due the city will be received at
tax-colector's office, City Hall, except those
for 1878, which are 10 be paid to George b.
Fleece, county trustee.

TOLEDO, o.
Death Of Dr.. ThOs. WaddslI, a Prominent
PhysioiaH---crafts Carried Away
by Breaking Of the Ice.

TOLEDO, March 10.-Dr. Thomas
Waddell, one of the most prominent
physicians of Northern Ohio, died at
twenty minutes to ten o'clock last
night Of congestive chill, aged 80
years. He was a member of the Ohio,
American, Northwestern and Toledo
medical societies, Toledo board of
health, professor of gynicalogy at the
school of medicine, and one of the
staff of St. Vincent Hospital. He
was also associate editor of the Toledo
Medical Journal. His death was
sudden, his patients being visited by
himself on Saturday.
The steam tug. Andrews, barge,
Bay City, and several smaller crafts
were torn from their moorings by the
breaking of the ice on the Maumee
to-day and carried to the lake. The
Andrews had three men on board who
got up steam and put for Presque Isle,
where it is now tied.

Itwould seem to be truth appreciable by
all, and especially by professors of the healing
art that to remove the disease, not to allevi-
ateits symptoms, should be the chief aim Of
medication. Yet in how many instances do
we see this truth admitted in theory, ignored
in practice. The reassn that HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters is successful in so many cases,
with which remedies previously tried we're in
adequate to cope, is attributable to the fact
that it Is medicine which reaches and re-
moves the causes Of the various maladies to
which il is adapted. Indigestion. fever ard
ague, liver complaint, gout, rheumatism, dis
orders of the bowels, urinary affections and
other maladies are not palliated merely, but
rooted out BY 1t. II goes to the fountain
head, 1t is really, not nominally, radical
remedy, and 1t endows the system with an
amount Of vigor which is its best protection
against disease.

GENERAL misapprehension seems to
prevail in regard to the provisions of
the public health bill passed by con
gress on the last day of the session.
1t does not in any way provide means
for preventing the introduction of
epidemic diseases into the country
further than by establishing a central
board of health, who are to advise"
with local sanitary authorities, but
who have no executive or directing
powers whatever that may be exer-
cised for the exclusion or limitation
of epidemic diseases. In this respect
the bill will be disappointing to those
who have hoped that the general gov
ernment would be empowered to en-
pIoy measures for. this, and as the
wants of the past year plainly enough
prove that isolated and feeble efforts
'of local authorities were Intellectual
for that purpose. The bill pro-
vides for a board of health of
eleven members, three of whom
shall be medical officers detailed from
the army, navy and marine hospital
services, one officer from the depart
ment of justice, and seven members
to be appointed by the President, who
are to receive a per diem compensa
ton while actually on duty. The
board are to meet in Washington
within thirty days after the passage of
the act, and are to elect their presi
ident, The duties Of the board, as
defined by the bill are to obtain infor-
nation in all matters connected with
the public health, and to advise with
the general government and with the
executives of the several States on all
matters that may be submitted to
them, whenever in their opinion
such advice may tend to the proscrva-
tion of the public health"
