The t;snSrui License Riil.


B. NJ. Mead, Esq, clerk to the revenue
commission who was empowered by the
subcommittee to draft n bill embodying the
views OF the committee on general licenses,
has completed his work and the bill was pre-
sented to the commission, which met in Phila-
delphia, Tuesday. The bill makes some inn
portant changes in the existing laws In re-
gard to the mercantile appraisers it requires
security in four thousand dollars in Phia-
delphia and Allegheny counties, and in other
counties two thousand dollars. They are to
receive fifty cents out of the amount paid by
each dealer. This is reduction of the fee.
The bill abolishes the advertisement of APP
praiscrs' lists in the newspapers. All dealers
are made taxable. The lowest consideration
is two dollars. The tax on the first billiard
and pool table is reduced from thirty to fif-
teen dollars, and on every additional table
from ten to five dollars Brokers are taxed
on their annual profits, from twenty dollars
upwards. Amusement licenses are also re-
duced. Auctioneers are required to take out
a license and to pay three per cent. on their
annual profits. No conflicting special laws
relative to peddlers' licenses and the tax on
patent medicines are reported. No change
is made in the appointment of mercantile APP
prasers anywhere

A Mr.. w. T. Lynn writes to the London
Sfandad: THE old idea that our Lords
passion and resurrection occurred In A. ID.
35 (given in most Bibles which have dates in
the margins) was founded on the traditional
belief that He was about thirty-thrce years on
earth combined with the idea that the date Of
His nativity was four years later than II really
was (the actual date of that event being, in
all probability, b. G. A. The only real doubt
about the date Of the resurrection is whether
1t was A. ID. 90 or 30. Now, astronomy tells
us that the full moon, which would be Pas
chal in the former year, fell on u Saturday
(April 49, which is inconsistent with the cir
cumstances narrated. But in A. ID. 80 that
full moon was on Thursday, April Q, ,on which
day the Passover meal was eaten, and our
Lord suffered the next day Gin our reckoning,
the same day in the Jewish,) on which other
observanccs connected with the Passover " are
still to be kept. This, then, have very little
doubt, was the true year and, If 30 of course
the first Easter was on April 0, on which day
we shall this year celebrate its anniversary"

Several important changes are in progress
AT the Opera House, which will materially
improve that place of amusement. The
dressing rooms have hitherto taken up much
desirable space on the stage, but will here
after be on the floor beneath. The scenes
have bceL reduced in size and more space OBJ
tanned. Mr. NJ. f. Wise is engaged in re-
painting the scenes. The changes made and
to be made will give stage larger than
usual in theatres of this size. The walls and
ceiling of the auditorium are to be painted
and very much they need the brush. There
are other improvements which we have not
space to mention. 1t is safe to say that
when the work is done, Bloomsbury will
have no reason to feel ashamed of her thea

The steam boiler is fast becoming the
Moloch of the country. Since the lst of Jan
uary last twenty six persons have been killed
and scores Of others injured by exploding
boilers in various parts of the country, many
of which might have been prevented by a
more thorough boiler inspection, A Phila-
dclphia paper discussinga recent explosion
in Brooklyn says There are 5000 or 5000
steam boilers in Philadelphia, and it is a
rather startling fact that the system of in
specting them is an absolutely worthless one,
Boiler iron is gauged by certain rolling mill
standards which indicate its resistance "a
pressure, 10000 pounds to the square inch
being the maximum. But these figures af
ford no indication whatever of the real fit
| ness of the iron for boiler use, because they
have no reference to anything but one quality
which may exist in perfection in connection
| with other qualities that are most detrimen
tai to such use. Ductility is as valuable n
resisting strength, but 1t is not taken int,
the accounts and as ductile iron is NOR
costly to the boiler maker than brittle one
and the law is satisfied when he shows IN
50,OO0 pound stamp on his iron, he has no In
ducemont to pay more for u better iron.

Quite an excitement prevails in insurance
circles in eastern Pennsylvania, owing to the
fact that large number of suits are to be
entered against policy holders in the mutual
aid companies that have recently appointed
receivers. Receiver McCarroll, of the de-
funct World company, of Lebanon, is going
to sue all responsible policy holders who
failed to pay their assessments on deaths pior
to the failure of the company 1t is intended
that the assessments shall be collected under
the contract entered into between the com
pany and the assured, and accepted by the
assignee of the policy when taking the $ me.
1t Is believed that McCarroll has the sanction
of the highest legal authority in the State,
and that this example will be speedily fol.
lowed by his contemporaries in charge OF
the other dcfunct associations. If this can
be done there will be II very lively scramble
among policy holders all over the state.
