THREE WOMEN.

Three womcn went sailing out into the
street
TO the brown stone front where the
red flag hung.
They ostleG tie crowd all day on their
feet
while ''going and going a.a scac"
was sung.
For women must 20 where bargains
are bad,
And buy old trash, if ever so bad,
And husbands must ever be grooming.
Three husbands, all hungry, went
homeward to dine,
But when they arrived there was
nothing to eat.
Three women, all crazy and feeling so
Ane,
Were cabling Of bargains along o."
For women must talk Of bargains they
buy,
And homes must suffer and babes must
cry,
And husbands must ever be grooming.
Three women were showing their hus-
bands with glce
Their bargains at prices that never
were beat.
Three husbands, all starving and mad
as could be,
Were tossing the bargains out into
the street,
For men don't know when bargains
are cheap,
And women, poor creatures, do moth
ing but weep,
And husbands must eyer be grooming.

society sent it 10 him in tract.

authorities had their eye on him, and that the
guards hal standing orders to shoot him at
sight il found outside his cell. Since then be
has put on reformed air. There was o pet
cat in the prison, and Pomoroy begged to ba
let have IL ia his cell for companion. A
more discreet walden than Colonel Chamber
lain would have given the youth II pet
Of some other kind, rattlesnake, or cobra,
or something congeriAl of that Sort but IS il
happened, they gave him the cat. Something
or other led the guard TO inquire into the cats

THERE seems to be considerable anX
iety manifested by many people lest the
President should die OF starvation, from
the fac. that milk appears to be the on.
ly nourishment which his stomach at
present tolerates. No danger need be
apprehended from this source while the
system is able to assimilate it; in fact,
he could live for months on milk alone,
as this is the only substance in nature
which contains all the properties neces.

combined in some cases with lime-water,
is a most invaluable remedy, and the

rest, thereby enabling it to regain its
former tone, and in a short time retain
and assimilate more substantial food.

THE White House, as we'll as its un-
fortunate occupant, is to be doctored. or
at least have its case, which is a pretty
bad one, duly passed upon. Col. GEO.
+. WAXING, upon the solicitation OF Col.
rockwell, Superintendent OF Public
Buildings, has gone to Washington as a
smelling committee OF one, and it seems
to be about time that some expert sani-
tartan thoroughly investigated the Pres
idential abode, about which so much
malaria seems to linger. 1t has been
proposed To create commission to DON
sst OF the engineer, commissioner OF the
District OF Columbia, Dutch engineer,
to be named by the King OF Holland,
and some American specialist OF high
standing, like Col. WARING, to devise
the best means OF draining the flats.
The especial reason for requesting the
co operation OF Dutch engineer is that
the department OF public works OF the
kingdom OF Holland has more constant
practice and larger experience in drain.
ing in low-lying lands than the same
department OF any other government in
the world. 1t is desirable that some
positive action should be had respecting
the subject.

TAXING CHURCH PROPERTY.

In the current number of the North
Amsrican RerislC, Rev. EDWARD EVERETT
Hans takes part in the discussion OF
that delicate and still unsettled question,
the taxation OF church property. His
views are interesting from the fact that,
although 4 Clergyman, he takes no
radical ground against the right
oi the State and the taxpayers to have
their Gains considered; nor does he
believe in q sweeping levy that shall
arpiv to ali church institutions
alike. He would have all
churches taxed in folul, but would ex-
enlvt IN practice those which by their
charitable work help to tighten public
burdens. In other words, he would
draw distinction between private
churches, or tiO.e which keep their
good offices entirely within their own
respective O!g, z,li"ns. and public
churches. which ignore all artificial bar
Iiers and do good, or attempt il,
wherever they see a need for good to be
done. Like many other schemes, this
one deies criticism on its theoretical
side. There it is absolutely faultless;
but if the practical test should be ap-
piled, there would be no end OF difficult
ty in fixing the lire of separation. We
think the New Hampshire plan which
Nj. HALE condemns, far more practical
BILE and, therefore, more expedient in
spite OF its faults, than that which he
proposes. There must be some definite
general rule in such cases or else every
church society must come before the
board Of assessors each year, and innu-
merable hearings would have to
be given those organizations
that present claims for con-
sideration on the ground OF public
charities. The impracticability OF such
q method woIld be proved in a single
season, ii indeed legislature could be
brought together OF sufficiently inn
practicable character to sanction it. The
New Hampshire plan Of exempting
church property under $4,000 and tax
lug all over that amount would, as Mr..
HALE SAYS, distinguish between rich
and poor churches; but, strange as it
may seem, the mission churches
and those that share with secular
institutions the burdens that the
public is expected to bear, are almost in
variably poor churches And if it be-
came question OF proof the rich and
influential societies would be able to
make a much more brilliant demonstra-
ton than those whose chief capital was
benevolence, fer rich churches could
spend enough to establish a reputation
for charity and still take less from their
,ofers than would be required to paw
their share Of the tSxes. In the imper.
feet state OF society about the only
thing to do is 10 exempt a definite
amount, which should not be large, and
make the remaining church valuation
assume its share OF public burdens.
