The Tea and Coffee Tax.

The figures in regard to 1.-The re.
peal Of the tea and coffee tax sent
to Congress by Secretary Sher
man show that with regard to tea
during the years 1870, 1871 and
1872, the average value of this ar
ticle varied from 80 to 3O5 cents
per pound. This rate of duty varied
from Is to % cents per pound, and
the revenue received varied from
S3,0c0,000 to $40, ,OG0, 900 annually.
During the calendar years from
1873 to 1878, ip elusive, when the
article was imported duty free, it's
average value varied annually from
"a to 3Sa cents per pound, and the
estimated revenue which would
have been received by the govern
ment on the basis of former rates
of duties, would have been from
$S,o00,000 to $4,000, 900 annually.
With, regard to Coffee the average
value during 1870. 1871 and 1872,
varied from 10 to IL cents per
pound. The rate of duty varied
from 3 to 5 cents per pound, and
the revenue received varied from
$5, $4,000 to 1880. 900 annually.
From 1873 to 1879, inclusive.
when coffee was imported duty
free, the average value per pound
varied from l2a to.16a cents, and
the estimated amount OF duties
which would have been received
under duties of former years varied
from Ss,5OO,0OO to S12,0O0,OOc. It
is thus shown thatt the government
lost some, $22,00G,O0O year by
the repeal of the tax, and that the
price, instead Of going down, ip-
creased.

Selecting Husbands.

1t has been profoundly remarke
that the true way Of telling toad
stool from a mushroom is TO eat II
Ii you die, it was toadstool if yo,

method is employed in tho selectio,
OF husbands. Marry hirn-if h,
Kills you, he was bad husband
ne makes yon happy, be is a goot
one. There is really no othe
criterion. AS Dr. Samuel johnson
remarked, the proof OF the puddins
is in the eating thereof: Some ye,ne
men that eemannexceptionab;e nj
deed very desirable as long as the,
are single. arc perfectly horrid az
soon as they get married. All the
latent brute there is in the hear,
comes out as soon as sensitive and
delicate being seeks her happiness
IN bis companionship. The honey.
moon lasts but very short time,
the receptions ard the round of
Pafties are socn over, and then the

he will be tagged ont when he
comes home. He may be sickly
man that she must nurse, and a
morose man that she must seek TO
cheer, a drunken man that she
must sit up for, a violent man she
fears, a fool whom she soon learns
to despise, a vulgar man for whom
she must apologizc-in short, there
are thousands of ways Of being bad
husbands, and very few ways of
being good ones. And tho worst
of it is, that the poor, silly women
ire apt to admire in single men the
'ery traits that make bad husbands,
md look with contempt or ridiculc
lpon those quiet virtues which
make home happy. Men with very
title personal beauty or style often
make the wife happy-and some
lmes quite the reverse. The num-
Der OF ways of being bad husband
almost as great as the number of'
ways OF being ngl,. No one can

Feats of Daring

Seme sixty years ago, a wager
of 95oO was laid that DO one would
be found to leap over the wes,
bridge of Galway at a certain
point, descent Of twenty feet at
full tide. The wager was accepted
by John Kilroy, tue proprietor OF
we'll known sporting hotel in the
town, who at the appointed hour
/ and place, appeared mounted on
his black mare Moll. The party
making the wager, however, with
drew on a forfeit of G2O0. About
the same time a Mr.. Earle, of
Athenry, in the county OF Galway,
rode for heavier wager over the
bridge of Athlone, o descent of
fifty feet to the Shannon, and was
carried safely to the banks. On
another occasion, no: more than
twenty years ago, Mr.. John Den
mis-, Master Of the Galway Blazers,
rode his horse, Heart of Oak. for
G3OO over the race course of Rah-
asue without spur, saddle or bril-
die, guiding his horse with his
Whip at racing speed, and clearing
five five-foot double stone walls
Nor have these feats of daring been
confined to Galway. In the town
Of Waterford the late rather noto-
,ious Marquis of Waterford, whose
pranks during a visit to New 7 ork.
some thirty years ago, many will
remember, rode his horse, Blues
skin, up the steps OF the Waterford
Hotel. in through the hall and out
OF the back window-a jump of
twenty-five feet.

but how to get her to "sit'' for an
artist IN the various positions re
qulred, seemed for a time an insur-
mountable difficulty. She belongs
to the very best society, and her
feelings, as well as those of her
family, would naturally revolt at
any proposition to that effect. The
medical gentleman thought that by
llttle-fnese he could get over the
difficulty. He was the family ply
slcian, ,and as such, had exceptional
privileges accorded him. He made
certain measurements, comprising
the young lady's height, size OF
waist etc., and found them all to
approach remarkably close to the
ideal standard of correctness. The
greatest deviation from that stand
ard did not exceed the sixteenth
part OF an inch. The lady never
