On the 2Gth, the United States government,
through the collector of internal revenue at
Philadelphia, seized upon some Of the property
of the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad COM
pany for claims amounting to nearly half mill
ion dollars. The cause of the seizure Ii the
issue OF certificates by the railroad company to
pay the employees and officers. Under the inter
nal revenue law, providing that every person,
firm, association, other than national bank asso-
Citations, and every cor ,,oratiop, state hank or
state banking association, shall pay tax OF ten
per centum upon the amount of their own notes

government made u demand for S1G8,UOO, the
tax upon 81, $4,000 of scrip issned, which the
railroad refused to pay, contending that such
action was not contemplated IN the provisions of
the act referred to. This refusal led to the
seizure Nearly five million dollars III scrip has

million dollars.

THE objection to rolling wheat fields
after being sown has been made that The
SNOW will blow off or collect in drifts
here and there. But if wheat is sowu
early the leaves should cover the entire
surface before winter, and we should
suppose would hold the soil as well as a
rough soil surface. Whether this sup
position is well founded or not, we have
this fall rolled five fields after the seed
has been drilled i'll or sown broadcast,
and another season viii probably enable
us to test the question.

Definition of Poetry.

Poetry IS the product Of earh,s'
thought. Thought cherished in IT,
MUD becomes earnest; then expresses
in words it becomes poetry. The tea,

in words. When words are iusuffinen,,
for them, recourse is had to signs ana
EXPLANATIONS. When sighs and e1clana,
tons are insufficient for them, reoourss,
is had to the prolonged utternnce.
song. When this, again, is insufficient,
unconsciously the hands begin to move
and the feet to dance. To set forth cor
rectly the successes and failures (of gov,
ernment) to affect heaven and earth, anc
to move spiritual beings, there is DO

The general opinion of scientific men as to
the possibility of change in the position of the
earth's axis has undergone. recently, modihca-
tons somewhat analogous IN character to those
winch. in tho opinion OF some biologists, the
position of the axis itself has undergone. In
stoad OF q fixed law OF rules rs to the impossi-
b'hty OF change, there is now divergence of
rnathesu"hcal opimion-an agreeing IN the thoo-
retcal possibility of q change in the geographic
cal po~ition of the oarths axis of rotation being
effected by n redistribution Of matter ON Tie
surface, but as As to the extent of such changes,
there are diIoront opinions. Some hold. for
instance, that the elevation of belt twenty de-
grucs IN width would dispace the axis by about
ten miles only; others maintain that the eleya-
ton of two such continents as Europe and Asia
would thspace it by about sixty-nine milos;
ANA stno, again. regard it rs Highly probable
that the poles may have been i'll aneeat ines,
very far from their present geosra 2hical 9osi-

The attack upon their camp was evidently a

not dream Of being assaulted and defeated SO
easily in their stronghold. Lieut.. AfacLaine

marriage OF the Baroness .Burdett-Coutts
with Dir. Bartlett would: take place there
this morning. Society itself seems to have
e~Aoed tue rumor, and it appears to have
neen very generally credited that II 80 o'clock
to-day would see the celebration of this long
and much talked of union. Accordingly,
