JUDGE ALLISON, Of Philadelphia,
has decided that a tax receipt is not
valid and does not qualify a voter
unlees 1t was paid by the voter him
self, or the payment was authorized
by himself, Last year the Republi-
can committees bought $4,000 poll
tax receipts aud the Democrats
bought $4,000. These were bought
by committee s generally without the
knowledge of the voters, aud seldom
by special Instructions or authority.
The Philadelphia Times says the de-
cision will trouble the party ma
chimes somewhat, but that will give
general satisfaction, and every vote
lost by the decision OF Judge AL
L1soN should be lost to it's owner.

THE attempt to restore capital
punishment in Wisconsin has un-
doub.edly failed with this Leeisla-
ture. The bill passed the Senate
but the Assembly refused to order it
to a third reading by six majority.
Great interest was shown in the
project, and large crowds wei e pres

houses Of the Legislature.

WHILE the new Russian Minister
to Washington, Baron STRoUvE, was
the representative of his country st
Toxic, Japan, his wife became deeply
interested in the collection of Japa-
nese ceramics. Teapots were her es-
peclal delight, and she found herself
slgnally successful in accommodating
choice specimens. But when her
collection numbered nearly eight
hundred, she discovered to her dis
may that the child like and bland
Japs were manufacturing the pots
especially for her, each one being
made more attractively grotesque
and more venerably antique in ap-
pearance than its predecessor. 1t
seemed a pity to blight the new in
dustry, but nevertheless, Baroness
S~TRoUvE's collection of "%antique jap.
anese art was from that day no longer

and that the importation, sale or
purchase Of liquor in such original
packages cannot be intsrfered with

spirits, therefore, have opened
lively trade by importing in orig
inal packages ubiskey, brandy. ETC..
from the Dominion Of Canada. The

Joaauiu Miller on New York,

Joaquin Miller has become the regular
New York correspondent of the Boston Globe,
aud queer correspondent he is. Here is the
way he starts off his first letter
TO SEw YORK.
You sat In state beside the white sea door
And tribute laid on all my toing West;
You teufoli tribute laid on patient, poor.
Enduring men,and Knocked their rural 2eS.
Go, now. and see the world you levied on
les,you have time TO 20. Your ships are gone,
Your gre 1t merchants breast the s'as no more.
Broad sOule1 aud brave OF heart. che little store
Ofgod aud goods your fathers brought
rs deck and crown this new Venetian shore.
Their children fell TO gambling for. They fought
Among themselves and let their proud ships rot.
New York is an iron-fronted iron-foolcd
and iron-heaitcdtown. Typical of New y ork
entirely is its screaming scrcccling, swift
and very crooked elevated railroad Iron. All
IRON Iron and paint.
Of course il commerce and money getting
the saving of time for these two purposes
is the aim and end of life this monstrosity
ought to be called success. For il certain
ly saves time and is great rest to those who
have Frustrated themselves in arluous and
all-day battle with the schemes and gambling
games of Wall street.
But when We consider that these same men
never, from one years end to the other, grow
ture 50 much as one lncifcr match, we doubt
ii they deserve rest.
Let us stick pin here and reflect n mo-
nient on this fact ! This maelstrom-,hs
Wall strect-that draws to itself the brain
of the land, that engages in ceaseloss battle
the best forces of the Republic, never gives
back in return one biscuit to be eaten, one
garment to be worn or one line to be read.
Nothing.
For the thousands of lives spen. there Wall
street gives back TO us annually many insane
and utterly wrecked men. We have as the
fruit of n quarter OF "A century of Wall street
two or three monstrosities': Goulds, Van
derbilts, etc. We have, set opposite these,
many maniacs, many a CHASTITY corpse, pistol
in hand leaning against wall in the dark
ten thousand ruined homes.
If so short time has wrought all this,
what may one not expect in the course of IL
century. Clearly, something must be done.
AT this rate, some coarse and cruel man will
get hold OF money enough to not only damn
the public" but the RepnJhc.
1t occurs to me that stock. gambling must
be made odious; counted low and vulgar us
cards; despised and left to the habtucs of
the prize-ring, the pool.den and the faro.
table
Something certainly must be done. For |
state it AS Il cold, frozen truth that any Judge
of New York, high or low, member of Con
gross, and, indeed every dignit Try rs a rule,
and even some of the ministers, ''dabblc" in
stocks. speak from authority, for have

London.

The continuous growth of London, and its
absorption year by year of surrounding rural
districts, must be reckoned among the most
remarkable phenomena of the present age.
Nothing appears to check it. If period OF
depression affects the general trade or agri-
culture of the country, its only effect, so far
as London is concerned, is to attract more
people to it from the distressed districts. If
a revival of trade takes place, London shares
in and increases with general prosperity. AL
ready London, in the wider sense OF the
term has population little short of 5,0OO,-
600. and if the increase in tine future is at the
same rate as in the past, there are those liv-
ing who may see the futillment OF old Moth
er SYMPTOMS prophecy, that the day will come
when Highgate Hill will be its centre.
For the purpose of comparing the rate of
increase of the population Of London, the re-
port of the census of 1881 divides il into
three zones, the central one consisting
of the ten most densely populated
parishes, the inner ring including
all that is popularity considered as
London, and which comedies nearly with the
jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Board, and
the outer ring containing all those popuous
suburbs such rs Hammcrsmith, Putncv,
Sydenham, West Ham, and others, which
are now as much part of London, connected
with it by continuous Streets as were llamp-
stead, Kcusngton, and Greenwich but few
years ago. This outer ring corresponds near
" with the Metropolitan Police district, and
it is to this that the aggregate term of Lon
don is now properly due The central area
contains population Of S77 800, and shows
a reduction during the last twenty years of
no less than $4,000, owing to the gradual
dispersion of the population over the wider

sent suffering from the recent unprecedented
furry in oil. 1t is almost impossible 10 de-
scribe the situation. The disastrous results
of the panic are becoming more apparent ev-
cry day. Hundreds Of persons in all classes
of life and business have either been utterly
ruined or seriously crippled. In the midst
of the general gloom and depression comes a
despatch from Olean stating that Angus Pot
ter and Peter Manners two of the bsst
known operators of the northern oil flel Is,
have mysteriously disappeared But a
short time ago these gentlemen were
possessed OF large fortunes, and their
operations were extensive. With thou
sands of other spectators the recent
whirlpool cngulfed them, and they were
reduced from opulence to poverty. The
general feeling is that the unfortunate gen.
tlemen have committed suicide, but
Of this there is at present no positive
proof. Another case, much saddcr i'll its de ,
tails, has Just become public. II is that OF

the great excitement caused by his immense
losses, has become raving crazy lie has
been taken to the State insane asylum at
Warren and the physicians says there is no
possibility of his recovery. In some quar-
greater than was expcrienccdby the failure of
Jay Cooke Il Co. in 1873 The estimated
amount lost during the speculation craze
is between S2,000,000 and S5,000,0O0. The
largest portion of the profits arising from the
speculation is presumed to have gone into the
tils Of the Standard oil and United pipe line

business is almost at a standsiill at present
Merchants of hitherto good and substantial
standing have been bankruptcd and compelled
to close their establishments, while the people
generally are put to their wits ends TO obtain
funds to liquidate their bills, so little money
is in circulation. One of the worst feat ures
of the great panic is the distress occasioned
large numbers of young people, such as
school teachers, clerks, shop girls, and even
check boys who, in the hopes of bet tering
their fortunes, contributed their earnings to
the general pile The prospects are that the
depression will continue for several months.
