her very fresh lord and master had

century. She ordered the breakfast,
and she ate it, too. Her husband

Taxation and Wages.

Chicago IT, hune.
Nearl, twenty years ago, congress,
in 1864, i'll the darkest hour of the
rebellion, invented aud put in opera
ton the most searching and overshad'
owing system Of taxation that was ever
invented in any government Of modern
times. The desperate need of money
necessitated suol an extraordinary
measure. This wal TAX vas justified
at the time on tho ground that it was
intended merely to cover the time
needed to wind up the war. 1t took
several years, however, to reL v 30
much OF those taxes as were collected
from the business of m~snufact-
uripg, but in time they were removed,
leaving only the taxes collected
from on all the products OF
manufacturing industry. This tax
was intended to do doubly protective.
1t aimed TO protect tho homo manu-
f]aoturer from competition by foreign
manufacturers, and 1t WAS intended
that tho protection should also com
pousate the protected persons for such
exaotionD IA protection demanded
of Thorn. The tax needed for this
purpose, it can readily DO understood
was excl ss,ve, and so frequently dupli'
Gated "a t, bo difficult to eatimate.

II STEAMSHIP DISASTER.
LONDON, January Further de-
tails of the disaster to the steamer
City of Brussels say that Captain
Land was n of the first picked up by
the boats, although he, with the chief
engineer, had been the last to leave
the rigging. When rescued he was in
the act OF passing a life buoy to a
drowning comrade. AS showing the
terrible nature of the collision, the
purser says that the main compartment
of the City of Brussels was cut right
in two. After the collision the fog
thickened and it was dangerous even
for the boats to move about. They,
however, approached the sinking yes
sci and found q boy canned Hamilton
half drowned, cIingiHg 10 tho mi2z9n
crosstrees. Tho Jno Italians drowned
ssem 20 have lost their wits from ter.
ror and jumped overheard without
waiting to see what co1ld be done foT
their safety. The persons lost include
Conner, the quartermsster, and Coch-
ran, the stewart of the ship.
Neither the passengers O the crew
we're able to gave anything, and many
persons were obliged to leave the ship
with bat little clothing, There Is no
doubt but that If the fog had cleared a
little sooner all would have been saved.
The theory concerning the drowning
of tho ssamep ia that when the vessel
lurched they were struck by the rig.
ging and rendered insensible. One
man was found dead In the rigging.
The passengers of the City Of Brussel:
have drawn up the following mem
orandum: "We, who have JUS
been rescued from watery graves, wish
to express our sincere gratitude
and admoni.ion of courage, prompt
