A BANKRUPT CITY.
Elizabeth, N. T., Threatened with Extinc-
ton by High Taxes.

ELIZABETH, N. J., May 16-In consequence
of what it claims has been unjust treatment
by the city government the Singer Sewing
machine Company will remove its manufac-
tory from this place. where 5000 people were
given employment. A portion of the COM
pany's works will be transferred to Scotland
The city owes the Singer company $500, 900,
and the manager of the company threatens
to serve mandamus compelling the author
tiles to raise the amount by taxation. The
result of the levy will fall heavily on the
holders of personal property, because the
sheriff can find something tangible to SEIZE
Under this head will be the storekeepers TO
whom 10 per cent. tax on their stock would
be ruinous. The owners of real estate will
not suffer so much, it is thought for
the following reasons: After the sheriff
has seized the land he will sell
it. No one will buy it, because a tax title in
New Jersey is not worth six cents. The city
will buy it in. The original owner will re-
main in possession, because he cannot be
dispossessed. The city will get no money,
the owner will keep his land, the sheriff and
lawyers will collect their fees and the world
will roll on. That is the programme of the
real estate owner.
The storekeepers will adopt other plans
The large grocer will send all his stock to
New York and serve his customers by or
ders. The large dry-goods merchant will
close his store because he cannot sell by
samples as the grocer can. The smaller
stores will have to shut up.
The unhappy merchants say that they
might possibly stand the Is per cent for one
year, but the rate must necessarily increase,
as other mandamuses will be procured and
the end would never come until the ST ,0O0,-
600 were paid. They prefer to shut up shop
and pay no taxes at all.

TALMAGE AND TILDEN.
The First Is Liar and the Latter Not
Candidate for President.

New York Sun.
Mr.. T. Dewitt Talmage is known as a
Christian minister in the town of Brooklyn,
where he breaches alleged sermons which en-
JOY sensational notoriety In ore of his
recent illusions he undertook to speak of Mr.
Tilden, saying, 'He is one of the candidates
for the presidency" Now, this is a false
hood on the part of Talmage. In saying it
he alleges as true that which he does not
know to be true, and that which, in fact, is
not true. To put 1t quite plainly, Mr.. Tai
mage lies 1t is certain that if Mr. Tilden
now thought himself physically capable of
enduring the labors which the presidency
imposes, the nomination would be pressed
upon him with a degree of unanimity and
devotion worthy of his genius and services
But there is not the slightest evidence of any
such thought or willingness on his part. The
refusals of three years ago stand good now,
and the false and flippant words of Talmage
are of no avail against them.

Judge DrummOnd and the Apple-woman.


There was an old woman who had an ap-
ple-stand in the building where the courts
are held. At the adjournment of his court
the eminent jurist never failed to patronize
Mary, and often stopped to chat with her
He learned her history and became interest
ed in it. One day he missed her, and asked
about it. He was told 1t had become neces-
sary to remove her stand. The Judge inter
coded with Collector Spalding to have her
stand re-established. "Mary and have known
each other for thirty years, sir, for thirty
years, mind you; and l miss her from the
place, l can tell YOU"
YES" said Uncle jesse 81 remember her
thirty years ago, and quite a country-looking
girl she was at that time, Judge"
Quite so, sir. You are right Now. I
want to have Mary's place given back to her,
sir" And the veteran jurist and the Gov
eminent official sat there chatting about the
interest of poor old apple-woman, and her
place was reinstated.

The nightingale's habit of singing at
night, and the imaginary sadness of its
song, are accounted for by legend to
the effeot that in ancient days the
nightingale aud the blindworrn had
only one eye apiece. The bird borrow
ed tho reptiles eye in order to go with
two eyes to feast, and afterwards re-
fused to restore it. The blindworm
vowed vengeance on its peridious
friend. Consequently, the nightingale
is afraid to 60 to sleep at night lest the
blindwosm should attack it during its
sl6mber. And in order TO keep itself
awake it sings, resting its breast against
a thorn, the pain caused by which rem
ders its singing sad.
