Railroads and Taxes.
New York Granhic

The lime is speedily coming when If the
Federal Government does not assert in
some form its right of supervision over all
lines Of transportation, the States will at
least assess upon them tax sufficient to
relieve the people of large portion of
their present financial burdens. The rail-
road tax of New jersey. adopted in 1876.
is now adding to the revenue enough TO
pay the entire expense of the public
schools. and this is rapidly diminishing the
, State debt. Senator WindoEl in his report
on transportation routes called attention to
the startling fl Z HAT there were four men
who frequently exercise powers which
Congr-s. would not venture TO WELD: who
with stroke of the pen. put a tax on
transportation. which reduces the value OF
the property OF this country hundreds of
millions of dollars. He said: IAN addi-
tional charge Of five cents per bushel on
the transportation of cereals would have
been equivalent to tax of 100000 on
the crop of 1873
The day is not far distant if it has not
already arrived, when il will be the duty of
the statesman TO inquire whether there is |
less danger in leaving the property and in |
dustrial interests OF the people thss wholly |
at the mercy of few men who recognize |
no responsibility but to their own stock
holders. and no principle of action but
than in adding somewhat to the power and
patronage of Government directly re-
sponsible to the people and entirely under
their control.
These imperious railroads occasionally
fix an arbitrary tax. amounting in many
eases TO fifty per cent on the first cost OF
the article. and vet they themselves are
untaXed. The revenues collected
BY the railroads of New York State last
year were tenfold greater than the entire
revenues of the STATE Government. yet
here has been scarcely any effort to
egulate them.almost no legislation except
ng in their interest. The railroads of this
'tate could probably be operated for $50
10000 year. including ten per cent. in
crest on capital invested: but they cost
nnually S90.OJ0.0O0. which leaves an oner-
us tax of 100000. representing no
ervicc whatever. This wrong cannot per-
exist. The public will protect
self. Legislatures will by and by wake
p TO the fact that the most pau,pered in
crest Of society, an audacious power which.
ares to assail and confiscate property

ems have to bear.

The True Story OF ''Robin Adair."

The hero of " Robin Adair" was well
known in the London fashionable circles
of the last century by the sobriquet of
the Fortunate Irishman;" but his par
entage and the exact place of his birth
are unknown. He was brought up as a
surgeon, but % his. detection in an early
amour drove him precipitately from
Dublin to push his fortunes in Eng
land Scarcely had he crossed the
Channel when the chain of lucky events
that ultimately led him to fame and for
tune commenced. Near Holyhead,
perceiving a carriage overturned, he
ran to render assistance. The sole oc-
cupant of this vehicle was ''lady of
fashion, well known in polite circles,
who received Adair's attentions with
thanks; and, being lightly hurt and
hearing that he was a surgeon, requested
him to travel with her in her carriage to
London. On their arrival at the metrop-
oils she presented him with fee of one
hundred guineas, and gave him a gen
eral invitation to her house. In after
life Adair used to say that it was not so
much the amount of this fee, but the
time it was given, that was of service to
to him, as he was then almost destitute.
But the invitation to her house was a
still greater service, for there he met the
person who decided his fate in life.
This was Lady Caroline Keppel, daugh
ter to the second Earl of Albemarle and
of Lady Anne LenOX daughter of the first
Duke of Richmond. Forgetting her high
lineage, Lady Caroline, at the first sight
of the Irish surgeon, fell desperately in
love with him, and her emotions were so
sudden and so violent as to attract the
general attention of the company. Adair,
perceiving his advantage, lost no time in
pursuing it; while the Albemarle and
Richmond families were dismayed ut the
prospect of such Il terrible meSalliance.
Every means were tried to induce the
young lady to alter her mind, but with
out effect. Adair's biographer tells us
that " amusements, long journey, an
advantageous offer, and other common
modes of shaking off what was consid
cred by the family as an improper
match, were already tried, but in vain;
the health of Lady Caroline was evil
IDENTITY impaired, and the family at last
confessed, with a good sense that re-
fleets honor on their understanding as
well as their heart, that it was possible
to prevent, but never to dissolve an at
tachment; and that marriage was the
honorable, and indeed the only alterna-
tive that could secure her happiness and
life When Lady Caroline was taken
by her friends from London to Bath,
that she might be separated from her
lover, she wrote, it is said, the song of
''Robin Adair,' and set it to plaintive
Irish tune that she had heard him sing.
Whether written by Lady Caroline or
not, the song is simply expressive of her
feelings at the time, and as it completely
cOrroborates the circumstances just re-
lated, which were the town talk of the
period, though now little more than fam
lily tradition, there can be no doubt that
they were the origin of the song

How Thick is q Man !

How thick is man? Who will believe
that a man, 20 years old and lis pounds
in weight, crawled through 4 hole in Il
stone wall by IL inches in size, % feet
from the ground, and escaped down a
rope? These were the exact circum-
stances under which Charles CraytOn,
sentenced on Friday last to one years
Imprisonment and 800 fine and costs
on two indictments for assault and bat
terry, escaped from the Venango County
Jail at u O'Clock Monday night. Cray
ton, together with John Murray, con-
victed of the same Offense and sentenced
at the same time, was confined III the

knives. which had been converted into

a-half inch upright iron bar dividing the
window, which is six inches wide. He
then, with cOld-chisel, cut into the
wall, which is composed of soft free
stone, until he had freed both ends Of a
fat crussbar of half-inch iron, through
a hole in which the upright was passed.

cut into the upright to depth of three
sixteenths of an inch, and, inserting one
end of Il long bed-slat, he and
his partner, by applying their
united strength to the slat, broke
off the bar where the nick had been
made. This left space of six inches
wide and IL inches high. Previously he
and his partner had torn their blanket
into narrow strips and plated quite a
neat rope therefrom. Securing the rope
to what was left of the upright rod, he
thoroughly sOaped the sides Of the open
ing, soaped his own naked body and
wriggled through this small hole, climbed
down the rope, dressed himself after his
clothes were thrown down by his accom-
plice and escaped through storm of
rain raging at the time. His companion,
being Of larger frame, did not attempt
the hopeless task OF getting through the
window, but went quietly to sleep.

was this power established when the last
series OF migrations from the north took
place. At comparatively short intervals
the seven Nahuatlacas tribes arrived on
the plateau of Mexico, the Aztecs bring
inc up the rear. According to their own
records, the latter people had left their
home in the mysterious Aztlan, about
A. ID. 1890, and after various wander
ings and delays IN their southwark Jour-
ney reached the table lands of Anahuac
about century later. Qualified by their
ethnic relationships 10 assimilate, and
in some directions to improve upon the
civilization of their predecessors, the
Aztecs here founded the empire whose
organization and resources filed the
Spanish conduerOrs with wonder.
In Mr.. Commits Judgment, the origi-
nal seats of the Nahua race must be
sought for in the great alluvial plains of
the Mississippi Valley. He thinks it not
improbable that the Tlepallan of the
Toltecs, or, at all events, the Aztlan of
the Aztecs, who were the last to leave
their primitive home, may yet be identi-
fled. 1t would seem that like opinions
were entertained by Humboldt, who OBJ
served that the names given by the
Aztecs to the cities built in Anahuac
were said to be derived from towns they
had abandoned in their ancient country,
and that the whole civilization on the
Mexican table land was regarded by the
inhabitants themselves as the copy of
something which had existed elsewhere
in their primitive seats. Where, asks
Humboldt, should be placed that parent
home of so many colonies, that offcina
gentiunl, which during centuries urged
southwark successive swarms of nations
that proved able to understand each
others speech and to recognize one an
other for their kindred? He does not
hesitate to answer that the lively remi-
niscences of which we have just spoken,
and the peculiar physiognomy presented
in other respects by the Mexican civil
cation point to the long continued exist
ence of IN empire in the north of Amer
lea between the Seth and AID degrees of
latitude. And elsewhere Humboldt cites
the fact that the section of country be-
tween the parallels drawn through the
mouth of the Arkansas and the mouth
of the Missouri was pronounced by the
Aztec historians themselves the prime
val nursery of the civilized nations of
Anahuac.

Probable Death from n Match.

About eight weeks ago, says the Ro-
chester Democrat, A. b. Musser, propri-
etor of the Krieger House, in Salaman-
ca, and well known in this city, placed
a match in his mouth. In some way a
piece thereof broke off and became
lodged in his throat. At first he did not
suffer much inconvenience from the
effect of the range.article in its delicate
retreat, but after time it seemed to
descend lower and lower and produce
circulating pain. What was stranger
still, Mr.. MusSer commenced to lose flesh
rapidly, and from being large fleshy
man, in few weeks he was but skele-
ton. 1t seems that the medical skill
which he consulted in Salamanca afford
ed him no relief, and he kept on growing
weaker and thinner. He was advised to
consult DR.. Moore, of this city, and was
preparing to do 50, but on Tuesday
night he suddenly died. All OF his
friends immediately came to the conclu-
sion that the match in his throat had
caused his death, but physicians who
examined intimately into the case attri-
buted Mr.. Musser's death to heart dis
ease. He was well known in this city,
where he was frequent visitor, and
particularly to the officials OF the State
Line Railroad, with whom he had tran
sacted considerable business. BOD

Tobacco Slaves.

A writer in the GentIemGu'S Magazine
GOndOn), who ably defends the mOder-
ate use of tobacco, relates the following
instances to show what hold the habit
may have upon persons: ga city man
that know gets half an hour for his
luncheon or dinner in the middle of the
day; but he manages to eat few bis
cults during office hours, and spends his
half hour walking up and down one of
the quays, smoking. This man walks
to the city every morning from his home,
the distance being three miles; he also
walks home every evening, and he
smokes necessarily during the walks
each way. He dimes at O'Clock, and
then smokes without ceasing until bed
time. On Sunday he smokes all day,
except during meals; he will never at
tend a place of worship, because it
would curtail his smoking. He will
never 90 into society with his wife, and,
indeed, will not readily talk to her at
home, as 1T disturbs his smoking. In
all other respects this man is a good
husband and father. Another ac1uaint-
ance of mine, who is highly intellectu-
al and deeply read man, will tolerate
nothing that may postpone his smoke.
At dinner he is in a perpetual drive to
get done, so as to begin his pipe; he
wants no pudding, cheese or dessert;
taking these would involve loss of time,
and put off the smoking period few
minutes longer. He likewise requires
no tea or supper, protesting that he is
not hungry, and that he does not wish
to be disturbed in his smoke. Another
man that | know is in Government
office, and when the usual public holt
days occur, such as the Queens birth
day. his treat is to lie in bed all day and
smoke. The gentleman is married,
and always smokes his last pipe in
bod -
