1t is probable thing that before
Oscar Wilde leaves this country A.
merica will be afflicted with knee
breeches. Already New York and
Boston tailors have announced their
intention OF introducing them for full
dress, and the idea seems to tickle
the fancy of the young bloods down
there very much. Oh, these tailors
are smart men. They will charge
Just the same as if the pants reached
to the ground. Somehow tailors'
prices never change. Last year we
wore a coat with such a long tail
that we had to walk fast to keep
from stepping on it, and q pair of full
bosomed pants, large enough to get
both of our shanks into one leg OF
them. This year our coat is so short
we have to wear pair of monogram
buttons behind to fasten our suspend
ers to (instead of using two shingle
nails as we did last year,, and our
pants are so tight that we have to
powder them inside with French
chalk and draw them on with boot
hooks, and yet our last suit cost ten
| dollars more than the other. 1t ever
Americans adopt the South Sea
Island style, and full dress consists
of strip OF cloth around the loins
and ring in the nose, tailors will
still charge fifty dollars for the strip,
and we suppose hatters will charge
six dollars for the ring.--Eyansvllle

sled by means Of tripod poles. This
would give us daily communication
with Winnipeg, and govern our dog
transportation trains, which would
be in constant attendance through
out the whole line. When this was
done we would commence our adj
vance along the third or polar divi-
sion in the same order as before,
only by shorter relays, as we would
have 122 sled-huts to station over
7SO miles, or about six miles apart,
so that each hut could be seen or
reached with safety 1t might be
necessary to have some of these
sleds constructed upon boat prin-
ciple, in case open water was reach
ed, and could be used for towing
others, as they would all be water
tight and capable of being floated.
But as | do not contemplate finding
open water, this latter point would
not offer any serious difficulty The
only obstacles likely to be encoun-
tered are rough and irregular ice
lodges, which might have to be lev
eled or tunneled in places. In this
manner | would expect to overcome
the whole distance from Chester
field Inlet to the Pole by the lst Of
Jnly, 1884, that being the best seas
on for observation at the Pole. The
whole cost of the expedition in this
way, not including the telegraph
line to Winnipeg City, would bt
about $4,000. Scientific American

Strictly Temperate, Except

On the sleeper of an L. r. 4 w.
train, recently, a traveller noticed an
old, white-bearded gentleman trying
to get into linen duster. The
young and spry traveller rushed to
his assistance, and, in helping him
with his garment noticed a good
sized whisky flask protruding from
one Of the inside pockets of the coat.
Being Of waggish nature, he appro-
priated the bottle, got the coat on
the stranger, and then, pulling out
flask, said: "Will youtake drink2'
The old man did not recognize the
bottle, and, drawing himsef up, re
marked, rather severely, "No Sir; |
never drink" cit won't hurt you,
persisted the wag; sits the best
@Young man, said the old gentle
man, intending for all in the car to
hear, eff you persist in drinking
whisky you will be ruined man at
forty. It is the curse Of the land.
When / was a boy my mother died
and the last thing0se did was to
call me to her bedside and say. John
swear 60 me that you will never
touch a drop Of liquor here the
old man clapped his hand on his
pocket, found it empty and recog-
nizing the bottle in the hands ofthe
other, he continued: except my
dear boy, an occasional snifter while
travelling And reaching for the
flask he pressed it to his lips amid !
howl of laughter which shook tht
whole ear.

Now. from Chesterfield Inlet to

where supplies could be delivered |

emily by building a system of relay

River and west course of Hudson
Bay, whore, in the future, will be-
the emporium Of the north, thus
neutrilizing this expenditure by the |
great advantage Of telegraph sys-
tenn for the purpose Of emigration
and trade. The relay stations of
block huts would be stored with all
necessary supplies for the under
4 taking, together with sleigh dogs
and men in charge, for purpose Of
transportation from Lake Winnipeg
to Chesterfield Inlet, which latter
4 place would be the headquarters of
the expedition, in daily communica-
1 ton with the outer world These
sed-huts would be constructed Of
paper board, Of the lightest design
and frost proof; each sled would be
about six feet wide and ten feet
long, neatly rounded at the top and
about five feet high, with hole
down through the center tor a sig
nal pole or anchor, to avoid drifting
while resting in gale. Each sled
would be steel shod, shaped some
what like toboggan, rounded up
at either end. Each sled would con
tain a kerosene stove, oil tanks and
lamps, as well as a complete supply
of preserved food, medicine, axes
and ice shovels, sufficient for six
men for six months, together with
fur trappings and other clothing.
When complete each sled-hut would
weigh one thousand six hundred
pounds, or little more. than two
hundred and fifty pounds per man
Thus equipped we would commence
the forward march by moving ter
it sleds at time, manned in the follow
70 ing order: 70 each sled one prac

BACK TAXES.
A Nut For the Legislature to
Crack.

The officials about the court house
who have views upon the subject OF
back taxes which continue to fill up
year after year, without remedy, give
expression 10 the following informa-
ton:
The delinquent of to-day is the same
as he of the last twenty years or more,
or in other words the same property
is sold for State, county and municipal
taxes every year, over and over again.
Alter condemnation Of piece Of
property for non payment of taxes, il
remains in the Circuit Court Clerks
office for two years, when, if not re-
deemed, it is turned over to the State
Agent and the county back Tax Col
lector, whose duty it is to use all dill
lgence to realize sufficient revenue
from said property to pay the taxes,
by leasing or renting,
It's pretty we'll known that there is
and has been much property in the
city yielding good revenues sold year
after year for current taxes, when the
back Tax Collector collected enough
to pay the taxes, and turned the
balance over to the owner, after de-
Quoting back taxes, without regard 10
current taxes.
When asked if there YVES not some
remedy for all this, it was suggested
that the State agent and back Tax
Collector be required to pay out of the
revenues of all property now or here
after to be pet in his hands, the cur
rent State, county and municipal
taxes first, and afterwards to appro-
pirate any surplus to the payment Of
that on his books.
1t is estimated that by this plan the
number Of lots sold would be less than
one-half the number of lots now sold,
and that if the Tax Collector used all
the authority vested in him by law,
the Office OF back Tax Collector would
not be in existence ten years from now,
as the taxpayer would find it to his
interest to pay his own taxes rather
than pay Others to do it for him. 1t is
stated that the sale Of real estate for
taxes does not cost the State and city
less than $4,000 per annum, and it is
thought this amount could be reduced
to less than one-half by the plan sug-
gested, and would work blessing
rather than hardship to the property
owner.

NO MYSTERY.
How Mrs. Stoves Trunk Was
Found.

The album belonging to the late
Mrs: W. H. Stowe, lost on the steamer
Golden City last Thursday morning.
and In which q number of photo
graphs were found few days ago. was
brought to this Office to-day Its con-
dition shows very plainly that it has
been well soaked in the water, and it
is of no value, except perhaps as a
relic, though it has been handsome
keepsake.
1t has been ascertained that the
album was taken from partially
burned trunk aAoat in the river near
the Ensley plantation, twelve miles
down the river.
The trunk also contained a lot Of
ladies' and children's apparel so badly
burnt and damaged that they were Of
little or no value, and they were ap-
proprlatod by number OF convicts at
the Ensley plantation. A note re-
ceived from Mr.. J. r. Matthews. who,
resides at the Ensley plantation this
morning, and addressed to Capta;n q
Y. Mcintyre, says: II had nothing to
DO with getting the stuff found out al
the river, but there is a glass and
two or three pieces of plated ware
that were taken from the trunk. /
have some booms badly burnt, two
stage planks, one broken; also some
cordage, and would like for some one
to be sent TO see about them.

HELD ron rDExrnicATtoS,
A Negro Arrested on Suspicion
OfCOnimitting the Spring
dale Outrages.

During yesterday afternoon Officer
Ohastaine was informed that the negro
highwayman who committed the late
outrages near Springdale was in the
city. Following up the clue Chastaine
went out to Central Point about 5
o'clock yesterday evening and spotted
his man, capturing him later at cob
blef's stall on Beal street, near We'll
lington. Tho prisoner was taken to
the stationhouse, where he gave his
name as William Thompson. He
is burly looking darky with heavy
mustache and a large scar across his
cheek, answering in all respects to the
description given by injured parties of
the Springdale rufian. He is held
for Identification.
He is charged with two offenses, one
of which is brutally assaulting Mr..
William Young on the railroad track
near Springdale, and afterward shoot
ing him and leaving him for dead.
The other is for breaking into Mr..
Dreyfus' store, near the same place,
shooting at the proprietor, knocking
over the lamps and robbing the money
drawer. It is stated that the negro
arrested has been seen with = good
deal of money since the latter affair.
The darky who gave the information
to Officer Chastaine states that he was
passing Dreyfus' grocery at the mo
ment when Thompson opened the
door and fred, and saw the whole
transaction, and that he met Thomp-
son shortly after at Bartlett and heard
him Dragging ofthe exploit, and re-
lating the details to two or three of
his friends. Thompson got the scar
across his cheek while attempting to
take some money from under mans
pillow year ago.
