In speaking of the death Of the Represent.

General Assembly Of Louisiana, which oc>
Cured in New Orleans on Thursday morning
Of last week, the Democrat says:
In the death of DR.. |. u. Bail, which wa.

State hes lost a useful citizen, his parish one OF
its foremost men and the General Assembly

IN the legislative harness he had already

Of his section Of the State. For some years

The Revenue Act.

We have read the synopsis Of the
Revenue Act, introduced last Mon
day by Mr.. Farmer, chair-San of the
committee on ways and means, as
published in the Democrat; and if the
bill is correctly stated in the synopsis,
we must say that we find several
very serious objections to it. which
we have not time and space to notice
at such length as we would like.
We presume that in enumerating
all household, kitchen and other fur
niture, the committee means all in
excess of the FIVE hundred dollars
worth exempted by the constitution.
We think that watches. clocks and
other time pieces and chromos," nam-
ed in this bill, come under this gen.
eral head Of household goods ;" and
We also are Of opinion that plated,
silver and other wares should be
classed among such goods.
One Of our citizens at least-and
he is lawyer too-is of the opinion
that unimproved lands are exempted
under this bill, but we do not so un-
derstand it. 1t reads: 'All real es-
tate, with improvements thereon or
thereto attached; all improvements
on public lands or other untaxed
lands" etc, etc. +; If we had intended
to tax only improved lands. and had
been writing this bill. We should have
said, "all improved lands, )" but unim-
proved lands are cut off from exemp-
,ion BY the express declaration of this
bill that no property shall be exemp-
ted from taxation except that which
is expressly exempted by the consti-
tuition add they are not exempt by
the constitution.

The Printing Bill.

The bill Introduced in the Senate few
days since by Mr.. Pollock, chairman Of the
Pnniing Committee, may do well enough
with one exc option. the standard for l. cas-
urement, ten lines agate type to constitute a
square. We think the standard for ,Ieas>
usement should be in the style Of type in
general use in setting advertisements. Agate
Is not IN use in any of the newspaper offices
IN the State. Brewer is the type in general
use IN country offices, While minion, and occa.
sionalls noEparei. is used in the city offices.
Therefore, we think that either BREWER or min
ion should be the. STANDARD for measurement
say fourteen or sixteen lines of BREWER or ten or
twelve lines minion The, word measure
ment is the best, except that 100 words is too
much; it should be 90. or 70 at most.

A reporter of the Sentinel learning Of

Indiana Investment Company Bank
called to learn Of such information al

audience, and in reply to our inquiry, he
stated:
"Yes; there is some news for you. The
people of indianapolis have invested liber-
ally with US, and it seems that the public

the amount Of precious metals estimated to
have been obtained from the surface and

to the late Russian Councillor Otreschkoff for
this information, bat as statistical science is

A Queer Matrimonial Scheme.

From the Cincinnati Gazette
The books OF a corporation styled 1.-THE
Matrimonial Benefit Company" were opened
yesterday for membership. The temporary
Office of this strangely named institution is at
No. 334 Vine street but it is proposed to rent
commodious headquarters at Pixies Opera
House building as soon as business gets brisk
enough. When the reporters attention was
directed to the concern by an advertised
notice in the press. he thought some one was
playing practical joke. 1t was learned by
subsequent inquiry that the Matrimonial
Benefit Company was duly incorporated
body, the charter members being Lewis Ber-
nard, A. McMicken, Jr., J. ii. Morrow, Jos.
Setter and w. G. Smith. Lewis Bernard
said the scheme was grand one, and, what
was more, it was unique. The Society was
mutual benefit one, the characteristic
being to pay the benefit on the marriage of
a member instead of at death. The capital
stock was to be $1,000 The initial
cost of membership was s., with
an assessment of 81 on the marriage of a
member What fools the members would
be to remaia single when they could get
81 900 by getting married. Suppose they all
got married at once! Where would the as
sessments come from? But perhaps Lewis
Bernard and his compeers have banded
themselves together as philanthropists, to
open a way whereby all the old maids can
find husbands and happiness. Their Society
ought to be called The Organization for the
Suppression of Single BleSsedness."
