A New Time Table Needed.

There was only one passenger, says
the Galveston .Siftings, an old bald
headed man, on an Austin avenue Car
yesterday. The car stopped on the
switch for ten minutes or more, and
still the other Car upon which it was
waiting failed to come up. The old
man grew more and more nervous, mop
ping his head with his handkerchief,
and cursing the driver of the missing
car.
"What are you in such hurry
about ?" asked the driver.
"My wife is waiting dinner, and if
that driver don't come up so you can go
ahead, I'll be late and there will be the
mischief to pay"
DO you know why he don't come
up?" asked the driver.
"No, DON'T" said the old man.
"Well, you see, his wife makes him
stop to get his dinner, and that makes
him behind time, and that's why he
don't make the connection. If he comes
on without stopping for dinner, then his
wife would get mad and your wife would
be glad but if he stops to get his din
ner, as he is doing to-day, your wife
will be mad and his wife will be glad.
The only remedy see is for you to
hold cabinet meeting, like these rail-
road passenger agents, and fix up time
table SO you both eau make close con-
nections."
Just then the delayed car came up
and the conversation ceased.

Boy Burglars.

1t turns out that the three Arkansas
train robbers are no hardened despera-
does, but three youthful tramps from
Florida, who were hungry, barefooted
and ragged, and having read how easily
railway passengers and express messen-
gers were plundered in the West, con-
cluded to try their luck at the business.
In view of the fact that one of the lads
is only seventeen years old, and another
but eighteen. and that all are novices in
crime, the affair assumes ludicrous as
pect. We shall perhaps next hear of a
train being stopped and robbed by a
party of school-boys who have been
surreptiously reading in their fathers
hay-lofts the adventures of Dick Tur-
pin and Sixteen String Jack.

DETROIT Post: Mr.. Albert Pulcipher, of
Clinton, Mich, says: Sin discussion here
it has been asserted that greenbacks are tax
able, which denied. Can you furnish the
decision on this point?" In the case of the
bank of New York against the supervisors
of New York city, reported in 7th Wallace,
page Goth, the supreme court of the United
States decided, that "United States notes
(greenbacks) issued under the law and cur
rency acts of 1862 and 1863, and intended to
circulate as money, are obligations of the
National Government, and are exempt from
State taxation. In later case, that of
Mitchell against the board of commissioners
of Leayenworth county, Kansas, reported in
1st Otto, page POS. Chief Justice Waite, de-
livering the decision OF the Supreme Court
of the United States, said, Omitted States
notes are exempt from taxation under state
or municipal authority" Greenbacks are
therefore not taxable. They never can be
made so even by an act of Congress. The
constitution and policy of the government
must be radically changed before they can
be taxed. National bank notes are taxable,
If the greenbacks were replaced by the same
amount of bank notes, it would add nearly
$3.50, 100000 to the taxable property of the
Union. The amount of taxes received from
the bank notes, together with the per cent.
on circulation, would nearly equal the amount
of interest paid on the bonds deposited to
secure the circulation.

Easter Pilgrims at the Jordan.

lStanley'S "CnrlStlan Institutions
The earliest scene of the immersion was in
the Jordan. That rushing river, the one river
of Palestine, found at last its fit purpose. AL
though no details are given of the external
parts of the ceremony, lively notion may be
formed of the transaction by the scene which
now takes place at the bathing of the pilgrims
at Easter. Their approach to the spot is by
night. Above is the bright Paschal moon, be-
fore them moves bright flare of torches, on
each side huge watchfires break the darkness
of the night and act as beacons for the success
sive descents of the road. The sun breaks
over the eastern hills as the head of the caval-
cade rushes through its thicket of tamarisk,
poplar, willow and agnuscastors with rapid ed
dies, like the Tiber at Rome, and about as
broad They dismount, and set to work to
perform their bath; most in the open space,
some further up among thickets; some plung-
ing in naked; most, however, with white dresses
which they bring with them, and which, hav-
ing been so used, are kept for their winding
sheets. Most of the bathers keep
within the shelter of the bank, where the wa
ter is abont four feet in depth though with a
bottom OF very deep mud. The Coptic pill
grims are curiously distinguished from the rest
by the bol lness with which they dart into the
main current, striking the water after their
fashion alternately with their two arms and
playing with the eddies, which hurry them
down and across, as if they were in the catar-
acts OF their own Nile; crashing through the
thick boughs of the jungle which on the east
ern bank OF the stream intercept their progress,
and recrossing the river higher up, where they
can wade, assisted by long poles which they
have cut from the opposite thickets. 1t is re-
markable, considering the mixed assemblage
OF men and women in such scene, that
there is so little appearance of lev
ity or indecorum. primitive domestic
character pervades in a singular form the
whole transaction. Tho families who have
come on their single mule or camel now bathe
together with the utmost gravity the father
receiving from the mother the infant, which
has been brought to receive the one immersion
which will suffice for the rest of its life, and
thus by curious economy of resources, save
it from the expense and danger of future pill
grimage in after years. In about two hours
the shores are cleared; with the same quiet
they remount their cames and horses aud, be-
fore the noon-day heat has set in, are again en-
camped on the upper plain of Jericho Once
more they may be seen at the dead of night;
the drum again wakes them for their home
ward march. The torches again go on before;
behind follows the vast multitude, passing in
profound silence over that silent plain; so si-
lent that, but for the tinkling of the drum its
departure would hardly be perceptible.
