The president, in his message, will
recommend the abolition of all internal
revenue taxes except those upon tobac-
co. in its various forms, and upon dis
titled spirits and fermented liquors, and
except also the special tax upon the
manufacturers of and dealers in such ar
ticles, with a reduction in the tax upon
whisky and tobacco, upon the basis Of
the bill which passed the house of rep
resentatives at the last session Of con-
gress. The retention Of the special tax
is deemed essential 70 afford officers OF
the government as proper supervision
Of the articles for the prevention of
fraud. Ifthis recommendation is adopt
ed, the remaining sources Of internal
revenue will yield, according to the
estimates of the commissioner ofinternal
revenue, about one hundred million
dollars per annum. Any further reduc-
ton Of the internal revenue than that
proposed, it is held, would compel the
government TO rely almost entirely upon
import duties for the necessary income,
and tariff duties would be dangerous if
not impossible. The president is firmly
opposed to the adoption Of any policy
that would create such contingency,
and will, in his forthcoming message
urge upon congress the Importance of
an immediate revision of the tariff,
with view to reducing the aggregate
in the government to such an amount as
rs absolutely required TO meet the in
terest on ;he puhlic debt and the current

Low Grade Ores.

1t may seem incredible TO the
Eastern readers Of mining journals,
and to many practical Western
miners, that mines Of low grade
ore averaging four and five dolhos
per ton, should be made to pay
monthly dividends from year to
year without failure, but such is
nevertheless the fact. The whole
secret lies in the magnitude OF the
ore bodies. The cost of mining
and milling ore on the IIomestal;c
belt Of the Black Hills is less than
$3.50 per tom, and when it is known
that l2O stamp mill viii crush
three toms to the stamp Every
twcnty-four the problem is easily
solved. Large bodies oflow grade
ore, chcaply mined and chcaply
millcdin large mills, afford a much
surer profit upon the money in
veeted. than small andnarrowvcins
Of ore, assaying into the thousands.

We have been requested by Capt Jim Nc
Chung, of the Adams Express company, to
note the death of Arthur" tavorite family
horse. arthur" was owned by Capt T. W.
McClung commander of company Z. First
Virginia Cavalry, and when the war broke
out in 1861 he bore his master to the front
He braved all the privatien, hardships and
dangers OF the various campaigns and faced
on hundred fields or more the most terrific
storms of shot and she'll, being wounded at
different periods while bearing his rider in the
conflict of arms. His term of service was
three years and six months When the war
ended Arthur" was taken to his home in Au-
gusta county, near Ft. Defiance, where, on &C
count of his faithful services in the past he be-
came the pet ofall for miles around and received
the utmost care and attention from the family
who owned him. But old age came ON and Ar
thur tell under the burden of years drawing hs
last breath in August last, aged 26 years. In
his last sickness he was tenderlY nursed. He
fell in the midst of his pasture, and being I'M
able to rise his guardians constructed an arber
to shelter him from the weather and placed
under his aching bones bed of straw, when
Arthurs eyes We're sealed in death. His re-
mains were laid tenderly away beneath the
sod, his popularity and merits iusuring decent
burial at the hands OF his friends and keepers.
