-"CoR.," in the Ecom0naist, does not make his
first mistake any better He says he meant to
cOnfne his statement that when the Reform ad-
ministratlon came into power" the Radical State
tax was mills TO what perhaps may he prop
erly dcnominated State tax proper" and did not
design to include the tax levied for outside
purposes, such as school fund, &C." This is a
lame explanation, since these outside" taxes
are as necessary as the other taxes, and go hand
in hand with them, both being levied by the
same section of the same act. There is this diff
ference, how ever the Radicals levied seren mills
as State tax proper, while the Democrats have
only levied four mills for the same purpose You
see? The whole section Of the act of 1874, of
which Cor" only quotes a part, reads as fol-
lows:
SEC. 80. For the purpose of securing an equal
and uniform rate Of taxation, there shall be an
nually levied upon the real and personal prop
ery Of the diffcrt mt counties tax of seven
mills 10 pay the appropriations made by the
Legislature for each year, and q tax Of one mill
for school purposes. and q tax Of three mills to
pay the interest on and for the ultimate rcdemp-
ton of the State bonds OF 1878, and su b tax 10
pay interest upon and form q sinking fund for
the redemption of the bonds of 1871 as 10 pro-
yidcd hy Section Z OF Chapter 1888, Laws of
Florida, passed January %, 1871.
The tax 10 provide fer the interest on the
g bonds of 1871 was left by chapter 1888 TO be
apporiioned by the Comptroller. In Gadsden It
was one mill and . quarter, making the tax In
that county for all State purposes twelve and
quarter mills In 1874, the year 10 which the
act was passed, the whole Stale tax assessed in
Gadsden amounted to s15,75e.97 Last year the
same gross tax was se.747.7o, and this year, on
the same amount Of taxable properly, It will be
t6.623.12. 1t will thus be seen that taxes in
Gadsden county are one hundred and thirty per
cent. lees under Democratic government than they
were under Radical rule, while the government

LITERARY NOTES FROM sCRIBNER

"A FAIR BARBARIAN" BY MRS. BURNET

Scribner's Monthly is about to do a
thing perhaps without precedent in our
magazines, namely, reprinta serial story
which has already run through six num-
bers of another American magazine.
The serial of Mrs. Burnett, "a Fair
Barbarian" which is announced for the
Midwinter Number, is said to be alto
gether the brightest and most amusing
this popular author has ever written.
1t will occupy two or three numbers
only of sCribner's, the first installment
covering about twenty.three pages. 1t
has been printed already in Six numbers
of another magazine, with large CirCu-
lation, but with an entirely different cir.
Gle ofrraders.
There is at least one recent Partisan
precedent for such course as SCribner
has adopted. A novel by a popular
French writer, written the last year or
two, appeared in prominent daily paper
as a serial. After this it came out in book
form, and when it had reached sale Of
some forty or fifty thousand, one fine
morning this very novel was announced
far and wide as the leading serial Of a
daily newspaper, LIE Petit Journal, which
as every one knows who has read it's
gigantic sign on the sides of the seven.
story Paris houses. boasts the unequaled
circulation OF $50 900 copies daily.
Mra Burnett has revised her story for
it's Temperance in SCribner, but has
made no ma terial change in it.

LITERARY NOTES REGARDING
SCRIBNER'S MONTHLY FOR
JANUARY.

Apropos of the new revision of the
New Testament, now on the eve of pub
lication in this country and in Europe,
Scribner's Monthly will contain three
articles: one ofthese by Rev. Charles S.
Robinson, D. D., on The Bible Society
and the New Revision, in which the re-
cord of the society on this whole subject
is traced with some care the second by
Professor George P. Fisher, of Yale Col>
lege, showing How the New Testament
Has Come Down to Us, and the third
a review of the revision itself, in which
the excellence and thoroughness of the
work of the American scholars will be
pointed out The first appears in the
January number.
The January number Of Scribner's will
contain an account of the aims and
methods of the new Theological and
Thermometrical Bureau recently estab>
lished by the Winchester Observatory of
Yale College, from careful personal in
spection on the spot. This is the first
bureau of the kind established in this
country, and cannot fail to raise the
standard of excellence in both clocks,
watches and thermometers. The curious
machinery used to correct watches to the
tenth of second, together with some
singular facts in the behavior and habits
of thermometers, make the article of
more than usual interest to the reader.
The same number also contains some
account of Mr.. John La Forge's and Mr..
Louis c. Tiffanys recent work in stained
glass.
Mrs, S, w. Oakly, the author of Some
Old Letters in Scribner's Monthly, will
