There are as many taxpayers in the
United States as there are inhabitants.
In 1870 the total population was 49,
550,37l; at present it is estimated at
43, 100000. So there are 43, 100000 tax
payers in the country, for all pay taxes

cised articles, spirits, beer and tobacco,
or any imported commodity, such as

THIS story is told by the New Haven
Conn., Palladium of pair of robina
which Lieut.'J. G. Shepard, of New Lon
don, once owned, and which afterward
came into the possession of Col. P. W.
Hudson, of South Manchester: In the
early part of last spring a friendship
was formed between the mate bird and
mateless free robin. The latter made
frequent visits to her Gagged friend, vino
fed her with the choicest of worms.
Finally the male robins affections were
SO completely alienated from his mate
that he killed her, dragged her body
into the bath-tub in the cage, and COW
cred it with the sticks and shreds given
him to make nest of. After ner
death the free bird was admitted to the
cage, and the two mated. Later both
were freed, and during the summer
they built nest in a neighboring tree
and brooded six young ones.

We have letters from the Soochow missiona-

where she had gone for relaxation, as late as the
18th of August The hot season in Soochow
had been so unusually severe this year that all
the missionaries had to withdraw to the sea-coast
for a few weeks. Fortunately the island Of
Poodoo which is very accessible, affords them
all the advantages of sea air that could be de-
sired. Mr.. QuBose, at the date of our letter,
was on his way back to Soochow, almost too
soon we fear Mr.. and Mrs Davis were still at
Poodoo and Miss Stafford was about to leave

REAL ESTATE IN THE WEsT.-The Den
yer Land Co. offer in another column alternate
lots in their addition. These alternate lots are
in fact given away, though nominal charge Of
one dollar is made for the deed The Company
limit the number purchasable at this price to FIVE
lots Many of the large cities of the West have
been started in similar manner, and those who
secured lots then, find themselves now in posses
sion of valuable property. The opportunity
does not often present itself of making an invest
ment in Real Estate at such prices. The relia
bility of the Company and their title to the pro-
perty being well established, there could be no
risk, with fine prospect for rapid increase in
value. Denver has had such wonderfully rap

will be speedily taken up

american Exchange:
The Chicago, st. Louis and New Orleans
railroad was tho only line leading out of
NewOrleans that remained open during the
eutire period of the epidemic. This was
done at al actual loss, in order to accom-
modate the fever-stricken communities
along the line. from September 9Th to
November 10th the trains were reduced
to one mixed train daily. The estimated
decrease III earnings from August LIST to
November LIST was SSH $40
While the managers of the above
road are deserving OF the highest
praise for the manner IN which
they conducted the affairs of the
road during the late plague, yet it
is equally true that trains Oh the
New Orleans aud Mobile road were
run during tue entire epidemic, aud
at a great loss to the managers.
Maj. Robinson testified before the
yellow fever commission that the
loss TO his road was between $780,
900 and SJO0,00O, Notwithstanding
which trains went through from
one end OF the line to the other
every day, aud in st doing, owing
to the Q%uarantines, two transfers
had to be made, which necessitated
the running of extra trains.
