talk in Yazoo. and that it would be safer TO
indulge in such expressions of opinion in
Washington. to which place they advised
him to return at once. The YaZOO Herald
noticed his arrival and also his political
views. and informed him, editorially. that
such opinions were not wanted there.

social call upon the family. Il like you per

men cannot get together in the street IN

that it was the general expression of the
democrats in YaZ0o whom he met that no
votes should he cast for Garfield there, and
that no discussion involving any support of
the republican party should be allowed.

- "A MILLIONAIRE ADvE' TisnR Bran
drcth, tho famous pill man who died at
Sing Sing fcw days ago, left his chill
drcn--seven daughters and six so,ls.--
pretty well off. His will gives tho
daughters the Brandreth House prop
erty on Broadway, which he valued at
$400, 900, and all the remainder of the
estate goes to his sous, who are to paw
his widow $4,000 a year out of it.
When Brandreth started his business
he had hardly money enough to pay
daily expenses, but he believed strong
ly in advertising, went into It as large
ly as ho could, and finally became q
millionaire by virtuo of it.. The regu-
lar doctors fought him long time, but
found ut last that they could not fight
him down, and then they gave 1t up.
His pills went all over tho world, and
the money came rolling in upon him so
fast that he could hardly use it all, and
1T still pours in in tho saino way. At
the beginning he had no expectation Of
making more than good living, but
the sale of tho pills kept rising year by
year, and he grew rich as fast few
lucky mem have done in Wall street.
He built q splendid country home at
Sing Sing, spent money freely in tho
village, and bccnme so popular that
when his funeral took place few days
ago almost every resident was in the
procession that followed the hcarso.
Some very, rich men go to their graves
without regret among the poor, but it
was not SO with Brandreth. He had
been good friend to tho poor, and Of
'all the people in and around Sing Sing,
and when he: died they all felt that they
had lost bcnefactor.
TAXING FEDERAL BoNDs.-The Now
York court of appeals has unanimous
ly decided that a State can Indirectly
tax tho market value of federal bonds
over and above par. In other words
that, while the title to the original sum
which the general government borrow
ed and expects to repay is exempt, tho
market premium on this title is not ex-
empt. The question came before the
court in the attempt Of q taxpayer to
deduct not the par value Of his bonds
from tho amount Of his personal estate,
but their market value. Tho reason
ing Of the New York court ia ingen-
ious, that the congressional exemption
only extended to the original 800 on
a 800 bond, but it will not stand.
"Thc pow CT to tax is tho power to de
stroy." was the broad principle laid
down in Maryland against Mccullough
and the Federal supreme court is GER
tain to decide that power under
which State Legislature could by tax
alton restrict the credit Of the general
government to the par value of it's
bonds is IN effect q power to DESTROY to
this degree the credit of the United
State Spri"gfeid Republican.

ton of college prizes it recalls the happiest days
of our lives, and we feel no small pleasure IN
being thus in contact with youth in all it's pride,
it's joys, and its hopes. OF the several I attended
this year, there is one peculiarly deserving to be
signalled, not only on account of the valuable
character of the instruction given, but OF Its
remarkable success. The E6Oe PT0fessiOnneHe,
of Versailles, was founded sixteen years ago by M.
Bertrand, its able director. graduate OF the Uni
versity of France, and member of the Academy
of Paris. He had for sponsor NJ, and now
Senator, Laboulaye. The aim was to supply the
department of the Seine and Disc with a probes
sional school, such as exists in Paris and the
North of France. NJ. Bertrand opened his estab-
lishment with but one pupil, and he has now an
average of 500. The distribution of the prizee
took place in the Public Concert Hall, capable Of
accommodating 1000 persons, and yet i. was too
small for the crowd that attended. Ranged in
front of the eStrade were the students, in uniform
or plain clothes, either being optional; and each
pupil, on being named, assembled to receive his
prizes from the Project of the department, who
was surrounded by the Mayor, Senators, and
Deputies, the head Inspectors Of National Educa-
ton, clergymen, and leading notabilities. The
Artillery band executed some choice music, and
two actors of celebrity recited humorous verses
from time to time. In the evening a very splendid
banquet was given at the school, at which the
leading celebrities Of the department assisted.
From the speeches delivered at the distribution
of the prizes, several pupils have won distin-
guished places in the general composition, at the
Fine Arts School, the Agronomical InBtitnte,
and other public and technical establishments.
