Sheriff and Tax Collector of this parish
went to New Orleans this week for th
purpose Of procuring license blanks 70
the current year. He was only PARTIAL,
successful, however, by reason of th,
confusion prevailing in the AUDITOR
Office in consequence Of the pending
removal to Baton Rouge. Capt. Jones
obtained blanks. for amounts over $50
and all who are subject to a license tas
IN excess Of that figure can come forward
at once and pay it. The blanks for the
small licenses had all been shipped te
Baton Ronge, and it will be necessary
for our Collector to dispatch messenger
to that point in order to obtain a supply
OF these documents. This he will doubt
less do during the coming week. It
oehooves all persons liable to the license
TAX to take advantage Of the earliest
opportunity for paying it, as the law
requires the Sheriff to turn over a list Of
all delinquents on the lst of April to the
attorney appointed to assist in the
collection of licenses, and that officer is
directed to proceed at once to enforce
payment by judicial process. Costs of
suit can only be evaded by paying
licenses prior to the 1st Of April.

with Princess Beatrice and any other
members of her family who are at the
castle; and unless there is any ceremony
of state appointed for the day, they after
ward take walk in the sunk garden
or on the slopes, and later go out for a
drive. On their return they retire for
little necessary rest before retiring for
dinner, which brings the days visitors
The only part of the green's daily rou-
tine which never varies is the morning
work, which comes as regularly as that of
any clerk in the city, and everything is
done by her majesty with conscientious
thoroughness. The queen looks
into everything herself, and the
public have little idea of the prodigious
number and variety of the subjects which
come before her for decision. It is en-
axiom among ali who have served the
queen that if they can only get their case
looked into by her aiesty strict justice is
assured. At Windsor her life is more la
boriouS than elsewhere. from the incessant
visitors ahd ceremonies, and the impossi-
bility of getting away from the pomp and
pageautry Of a court. There is nothing
which her majesty so much dislikes at the
castle as the innumerable sentries, who are
everywhere to be seen, and whose monot-
onous tramp never ceases along the east
terracs underneath the windows of the pri-
vate apartments.

Trouble in tho NJ nagement and Presiden,
Wheeler Resigns.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24.-It was rumored
among banks yesterday that Mr.. G. T.
Wheeler, president of the Union Ma tional
bank, was going to resign. In an inter-
view with Mr.. Wheeler he said, Il have re-
signed from the presidency of the bank and
shall sever all connection with it Jan. 1.
The step was determined upon six months
ago. The reasons don't care to state in
detail at present. Things were not salts
fact ~. There was a lack of harmony
among the officers. At future time I
mightbe willing to give you some facts re-
garding the cause of my resignation.
Items which I am not willing now to
give the public. I can only
say the position was unpleasant. I could
no longer retain it and my self-respect,
owing to the present element
which is in the bank" In answer
TO question as to the financial condition
of the bank Mr.. Wheeler said everybody
knows tn. bank was in very poor shape at
the tins of the death OF Mr.. Coolbaugh,
81 e: j year at le:s.. it was pretty hard
s'ratch!n- Bat .vorried through it, aad
good times came and brought the bank up.
It is now in excellent condition; it has
had very prosperous year. In the past
four years. after making up the old
losses that were suffered during the
panic, the bank paid Is per cent. on its
capital of 100000 which is all paid in. It
never missed paying off dividends except
in one year j. paid ten per cent. Before
it has made over 100000 beside which
now stands credited t. the surplus, and
the profit and loss &C count. The net ear
ings of the sank this year were forty per
cent. of its capital which is !due to large
increase i6f business in all branches of
trade. Tie principal stockholders of the
bank mentioned in order of their interest
are estate, of F.:W. Brooks, Burlington,
Iowa, David' Davis, E. R. Cummings, John
V. Farweli and the estate of WE. Coolbaugh.
It is reported that the diff Guilty arose
some SIX months ago over the settle
ment Of. large estate in which the Union
National was interested, Mr.. Wheeler
holding views more conservative than the
rest, and the difference failed of adj
justment.

The principle involved in churning is
the thorough agitation of the contents OF

the minute fat globules present in the

OF these .ruptured fat globules into larger

by some authorities that the temperature
of the milk in summer should not exceed
81 degrees; and in very hot weather may
lie under 60; while during cold weather,
the milk should be about z degrees high

Rprir0l of the Old FashiOned Corset

Reri..uI of the Old Fashi0ned Corset
New York letter: French corsetmakers
are introducing the old fashioned corset
that had board-like 1usk down the front
but no fastnings, thu lacings now being
done at the back This method, thought
causing extra time and trouble in arranging
produces, it is claimed,a more graceful
outline to the form than the usual manner
of fastening the corset. Satin corsets-of
with dark or light dresses-are extremely
fashionable with those who can afford them
as this elastic fabric molds iteelf more
closely to the figure than either jean or
French coutille. Over the hips of these
new corsets are set wide gussets of silk
elastic webbing, which I'VE peculiar ease
to the wearer. Still fuz er comes a rumor
from over the sea the n inch bellies who are
troubled about their too ample proportions
very frequently discard the corset altogeth-
or, and have the Innings of their dresses
made of extra heavy material, almost cove
ring the dress bodice inside with strong
whalebones finished with silk castings.
Later still, words is brought to Us by re-
turning modistes that those too, too solid
French iadi:s. Who are determined to look
ethera,. have zen to wearing nickel plate
corsets, warranted never t. ''yive" an inch
Physicians in this country and Europe
have recently commended the use of the
corset. when properly constructed, as a
healthful stay and support, at the same
deprecating its use when so made and worn
as TO interfere with tho natural play of the
muscles, or the normal action of the lungs.
The abuse of this article of dSess has
brought it, and very justly, into disrepute,
but its rational employment is not rejected
by those who are most capable of judging
of it's true merit.

ATTENTION, FARMERS!
Exposure OF a ROdber Scheme.

!; Cincinnati Commercial, Rep.
+; The more the tariff commissions repor
is examined the more curious in som.
parts it appears.
| Taking the important item of crucibl,
steel-the steel out of which plows, hoes
axes, scythes, the blades of reaping ma
chimes, and SO forth, are made.
Nothing could be of greater interest te
the farming country. The duty on cruel
| BILE steel affects the price OF farming i'm
! plements of al grades, from the hoe to the
| reaping- machine.
The present duty is:
1. Crucible steel, valued at seven cents
per pound and less, two and one-quarte,
| cents per pOund-that is, $5O.4O per ton
2. From seven cents per pound valua
tion up to II cents, three cents pound, OF
1920 per ton, with 10 per cent. adval
orem.
The tariff commission propose:
l. On valuation of five cents per pound
| and less, two cents per pound-or $44.5C
per ton.
2. Five cents and not above nine cents
valuation, two and three-quarter cents pei
pound-or S61.6O per ton.
.. Over nine cents valuation, three
and one-half cents per pound-or $7S4C
per ton.
1t happens that steel of the value Of five
cents per pound is not used. The quantity
imported is insignificant.
That which is used in great uantities is
;; valued at from six to nine cents.
Therefore the tariff commission propose
not reduction of duties, but all advance
on the material of the quality employed
| tor farmers tools of from $50.40 per ton to
j S6i.60 per ton.
That is, there is IA advance of 81 PEI
cent. on the most importont material
entering into the manufacture Of
hoes, harrows, cultivators, axes, scythes,
steel of reaping implements-th ma
I chinery with which the soil of America is
prepared for the seed, and with which the
young graf is titled, and by which the
mature grain is harvested.
What is this for? Is this for the benefit
of the laber ng-men of America? Not bit
of it. Thers are three manufacturing es.
adjustments in America that turn out this
crucible steel, and they would be the sole
benefciaries of the advance.
This tariff commission reform measure
would enable the three establishments in
Pennsylvania-wnich correspond charm
ingly in number to the three members
which that great state has on the commit
tee of ways and means-to advance the
price of steel p per cent. t.
American manufacturers already largely
use the American steel. It is done very
extensively in Ohio in our manufacturing
establishments at Akron, Mansfield
Spring field, and other towns, where cheap
power, joined with high intelligence in a
rich country and salubrious air, have gath
cred capital and given it splendid activity
in organized industry. s.
We are not putting these points as q
free trade or high protective tariff ques.
| ton. We know there is not to be and can.
| not be free trade, but we insist upon fail
play.
And in the interest of fair play for, the
farmers Of America We point out wha
seems to he a tricky adjustment of duties
that would tax the many for the few.
