and last night addressed an immense aud
fence at McCOrmicks Hall this city and
spoke with his usual earnestncss. After
the meeting when he and Senator Logan
and Hon. Jesse Spaulding were sitting in
his room engaged in conversation Senator
Chandler complained of indigestion. As he
had complained of the same distress while
en- route tothis city with these gentlemen Mr..
Npauldlng suggested that he remain over in
the city until saturday night. But he said
business affairs required his attention at home
ana the order was given to have him called
Tins morning at seven O'Clock. Ills friends
babe him good night and left. This is tie
last time the Senator was seen alive. This
morning when the office boy called him
there was no response and as upon rcpeti-
ton of the call silence prevailed, the clerk
effected entrance through the transom and
found the senator dead. The body was not
quite cold and the physician who was pres
ent decided that death occurred about three
hours previous to the discovery. Ills face
looked tranquil, showing that death was
painlness. The coroner will hold an inquest

WELL, now, this $4,000, 900 internal
revenue, where does it come from SlO3. 500, -
900 of it, which is nearly all of it, comes
from the whiskey and tobacco trade. DO you
regard that as particularly oppressive in New
York Laughter. We rather enjoy it down

avoid paying any of it, because this tax is a
particular one. This tax is not like the tax
on your farm or house or stock, because you
need not pay a solitary penny of it unless
you choose, and if you do not drink, if you
do not chew, or if you do not smoke, you 90
entirely free of the tax. II is not exactly IA

choice, but you make your choice and then

this tax is wise one The elder Napoleon,
