Origin of the English Debt.

From the moment that the public at large
began to pay the taxes, and not the land the
extravaganza of government expenditure
grew amazingly, and a national debt was
commenced. When the people paid, and the
aristocracy and their sons and kinsfolk re-
ceived through government Offices IN the
army or navy, from that moment the history
of our boundless confusion commenced Be-
fore this great transfer of taxation from the
lands to customs, excise and other popular
burdens, it must be borne In mind that there
was no debt. So long as the land had to pay
the taxes the aristocracy were not willing to
incur national debt; the moment they made
this transfer, and could, living on their ex-
empted lands, revel in the sweets OF taxation,
debt was then commenced. Charles. we
shall find borrowed G90o, 600 OF the merchants
OF London. and soon informed them that no
could never repay it.; 1t must remain debt
on the nation, the interest alone being OBJ
tainabIe The debt first commenced has now
grown, as the direct consequence of this
grand fiscal revolution, to upward of $780,
,OD0. Macautay has well said that this
was not the first age Of borrowing, but the
first Of funding.

A CITY of Caves,

A Texas letter to the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat says Away on the Texas frontier, and
in the eastern margin Of that vast desert ex-
panse, the Llano Estacado, sixty miles north
Of the little town Of Graham, there settled,
sisting of nine families The locality was
distant from market, and lumber scarcely to
be had. The settlers, therefore, as the cold
northars ct winter were approaching, deter
mined to build habitations underground. They
selected hill, in whose sides they exeasated
rooms, halls, kitchens and sleeping apart
ments, not unlike the ancient dwelers In the
rocks OF Judea A chimney was formed by
running stove-pipe up through the hill to
the surface. The dwellings are perfectly dry
and warm in the coolest AMI most freezing
norther. This little city of caves has been
named Oregon City, and will be the capital OF
BayiDr county

looks were wild and baggard and he was very
much inclined to double up. Henry was the

the most pitiable. He had left the South for

The daFkieS acknowledged Ghat they had

richer for 1t; that they were charged eNorbt-

going back because they could live easier and
more lazily in Madison parish. They
strenuously denied any threats or violence,
and all three said they voted. whenever thoy
pleased and whatever ticket they took no

want to go, although they were sick and
starving here.

The Academy Of Music.

The Ienten days are evidently over, for the
audiences are nightly increasing at the
Academy. Last night, in fact, the house
might have been called a very fine one and
deserving of the attraction offered by the
Colyille Opera Burlesque Company. 1.-THE
New Cinderella" has improved wonderfully
since the players have mastered their lines,
and the burlesque now works very smoothly.
We still have to regret that Gill and Drew do
not display their usual burlesque qualities
\ lhe one broad and buoyant and the other
quiet and humorous. This may be due to the
peculiar character of their parts, although In
80 far as Drews is concerned, it strikes us
that he has either little liking for 1t or lacks
proper conception of 1t. He plays the part
Of valet in too much of the prineely manner,
forgetting that be Is the former, although ~
the disguise of a nobleman. The costumes OF
the troupe are among their. freshest, richest
and nobhiest. We have referred to that oil
charming attire of Marie Williams In the ball
room scene Of the hurlesqne. 1t is unique IN
style and rich without gaudiness.
Gus Williams continues to grow IN popu.
larty. Last evening he cleverly introduced
into his temperance speech many local hits,
some Of them having particular reference to
the races. Gus Williams is an artist.
GRUNEWALD HALL.
The Curant concert at Grunewald Hall last
evening attracted a goodly audience The
affair was an artistic one, comprising many

Messrs. Livain, Curant and full orchestra OF

we noticed particularly the march Of Leon,
ards "Fantafse Militaire" IA masterpieces %

artistically. The vocal part of the enter
tainment was entrusted to Misses Lena Lit
tie and Lehman, both charming singers
