The amount of municipal taxation for the several
years of the period considered, l have not before
me- except for the year 1870, when it SO, $685.
l4l and the average for the five succeeding years
can hardly have been less than that sum, while it
has probably been more. Taking that sum the
taxation for that period, SIS, 415705. From such
data as have had access to, estimate the average
municipal taxation per year during the first period
under consideration did not exceed 81 ,2OO,OOO or
q total of Sc 100000.
Political economists apportion the burden of in
direct taxes such as are derived from customs and
excise. in proportion to population On that basis
Names part of the federal taxes collected during
the first period one-flftieth, or about $4,000
O0O and during the last one-Sixtieth, or about
S27,O00,000 The total amount OF taxes thus paid
by our people for those periods are as follows:

This presentation shows that our proportion OF
federal taxation increased in those two periods
nearly five fold our county and one half fold,
and our municipal three fold, and all taxation
aggregated during the latter period has been nearly
four fold as great during the former period
Whilst the burden of our taxes has been thus in
creased our population has been slightly dimin-
ished
am aware that this increase is largely due to the
unavoidable expenses resulting from the contest for
the preservation of nation, and that we may not
by action consistent with the honor and integrity OF
the state be able to effect reduction in such item
of expenditure In order to eliminate the amounts
chargeable to the in our state taxes let us COM
pare the years 1878 and 1879 with 1860, the year
next preceding the war, wholly unnfuenced by its
effects and the assessments being for larger sum
than any anterior year, may safely be presumed to
be sufficiently adequate to defray all the ordinary
expenses OF that year.

the season was the neck-tie surprise party
on Thursday evening, at the residence of

A decided sensation occurred in our
city yesterday by the suicide of Frank
Williams by means of dose of pounded
glass. Mr.. w. was a workman employed
at the West-end Malleable Iron Works
up to Thursday morning last, when he
was observed to be laboring under great
depression Of spirits. He went out on
that afternoon and deliberately lay down
on the Short-line track in front of an
approaching train evidently bent on
suicide. Being prevented in this he swal-
lowed dose Of pounded glass after being
conducted to his boarding house at Mrs.
Conard's. DR.. Russell being called ad-
ministered an emetic and also used the
stomach pump freely, after which he
gave him .opiates which afforded tenn
porary reliet. He, however, sustained
paroxysms of severe agony at times
and last evening died. Mr.. Will
liams' troubles were chiefly of adomestic
nature and grew out of an ill assorted
secret marriage with a woman much
younger than himself from whom he had
lately separated. l. Na,-.g.

The Latest Thing in Dances.
New York World

The latest thing in dances is called the
"raquet", and is neither waltz nor a
polka, though the best parts of both
are preserved. The music strikes
up with crash. as though a
new vulcano had broken out, and
the girl will cling tightly, as though fright.
enned, if she understands the dance, and
the young man will reassure her by a
gentle pressure, if he understands the
dance. or knows anything at all. At the
second crash they dodge, as though some
one had thrown blacksmith shop at them,
and then they start in. They begin ini
tating the struggle for life, representing
a person who is drowning, but at each
crash of the cymbals and bass drum they
dodge aud scoop to one side, then dart
back again. Jam each other sideways, and
then. as the crashes of music become
more terrific and deafening. they try to
drive each other through the floor by
main strength, get desperate. and claw,
aud tear, and pull, and all at once they 90
raving mad with hydrophobia and deli
rum tremens, and gnash their teeth and
suffer the most !terrible agony-and all is
oyer. It is a short dance. as the design
is amusement, and no. murder. But
short as it s, it is said to be very sweet.
