A Sly Old Horse.

Anent The Blues,'' I have heard a
charming story illustrative of the wonder
full intelligence of some horses. One
evening the officer on guard, hearing a
noise in the stables, concluded that a
horse must have got loose. He there
fore went with a Corporal of the guard,
and, looking through keyhole saw IN
old troop-horse lifting up the lid of corn
Din and 'munching away at the oats.
The officer ratified the door by mistake.
The old charger instantly cooked his
ears, stole back to his stall, artfully
slipped his head back into his halter,
and awaited events as if nothing had
happened. Seeing this, the officer and
Corp oral, pretending to be deceived,
after looking round the stables, went
out again. So soon, however, as, the
horse heard the lock turned upon them.
he slipped his halter and attacked the
corn-bin again. After this the crafty
old warrior was firmly secured.-Lon-
dom Figaro.

Where the Tax Falls,

The Formers Journal directs attention
to q significant fact, that seems to have
quite escaped public attention, in con-
nectiOn with the tax on distilled spirits,
viz: that whisky which is used as q bey-
erage, and is at best but q luxury, pays
but shout one half the tax per gallon
that is paid by alcohol, which enters into
the arts and manufactures and is q
chemical agent of inestimable value.
The explanation is that whisky is only
about one-haf the strength or proof Of
alcohol. asg4iEf d @-Ews4ti
Many seem to think that high tax
tends to lessen the use of spirits as q
beverage. This view, however, does
not seem to be sustained by the facts or
the statistics of the Revenue Department.
Before the tax was ,pnt upon spirits fully
50 per cent. of AL that was made was
used in the arts and in manufacturing.
Now nearly all that is made appears to
be consumed as a beverage. Before tho
days Of the tax alcohol was extensively
used in preparing dyes for calico, car
pets, etc. 1t was also largely used by
furniture manufac turers, varnish makers,
hatters, druggists and in many other in
dustries. Now wherever it is possible
substitutes are employed, such as wood
spirits and fuseI oil, which have an OBJ
jectionable odor and are rank poisons.
It is estimated by those most compe-
tent to Judge that if the tax should be
reduced to so cents per gallon that at
least $1,000, 900 gallons of alcohol would
be used in the above industries This
wOnld create q unarkot for ovor 4 000 .
600 bushels of grain, while it is further
claimed that the Government would
suffer no loss of revenue. .YTh ~
