ripple Of excitement last week over the fact
that Prince Jerome had written, printed
and posted manifesto which was deemed
seditious, and he was arrested therefor and
Imprisoned in the Conciergerie. 1t is be-
lievsd that the Princes Jerome, Victor and
Louis will be exiled. The Bonapartists
seem to have been gathering some force re-
Gently, and will be looked after. The mani
festo was treated with derision and contempt

THE population of the United States ID
givensat 81, 00o,0 900, and Of Great Britain at
35,0o0,0o0, the average being 2SS to the
square mile. This i higher average than
any other country has, except Belgium,
where II reaches 400. In the United States
there are but IA persons 10 the square mile.
About :, 900 persons own ons-half Of Great
Britain, aud the total national income is
reckoned al s425 100000. The amount Of
$45,000,000 10 raised by income tax, and
500, 900, 100 from customs. Great Britain's
income Is derived mostly from foreign In
vestnents, but the principal advantage which
the United Kingdom has over other powers
lies I'm the mastery management OF immense
shipping interests.
We PUBLISH In this issue the full text Of
the bill introduced by Mills, Of Jefferson, to
provide for the collection Of special poor
tax from persons who pay no property tax.
II strikes us a. very sproper measure. This
tax is now largely eyaded, and by those who

and diligent, faithful Assessors, this. fund
would be very largely increased. 1t would
seem, however, 1t should be SO amended
that the individual on whom the tax is
levied should be entitled to the original re-
ceipt, on settlement with his employer, as .
protection 70 him II engaging elsewhere,
and for this purpose, and to have evidence In
case Of loss, duplicate receipts might be
issued, the latter remaining in ths hands Of

Our original modest request Of the Legis-
lature was that they elect Mayhem Speaker
of the House and Mitchell President Of the
Council. Mayhem went In with flying colors,
aud the House made good choice. Mitchell
would probably have been elected President
had there been quorum at first, but the row
brought Granville Stuart to the front and he
was compromised on. Well, If we didn't get
tive present Deer Lodgers we came very near
IL, for Granville Is one OF our Oldest and best
citizens. He has served before In the House
and Council and will, we believe, make an
excellent presiding officer. Our congratu-
latiens 70 President and SPEAKER.

On motion Of Mitchell and without debate
the report was adopted by an unanimous

single sentence o. thanks.

starting without debt, and an old State with
. small population, are examples Of how 1t
costs to run State governments, and how
heavy taxes have 70 be laid to keep out Of
debt.
Montana last year had assessed property
TO the amount Of ss,21l $40. Her revenues
proper, from taxes and licenses, were $780,
se3.47 Expenditures, $6l,o77.52); and this
with Territorial tax of only one mill on
the dollar. Compare IL with the Colorado
State tax Of SO mills on the dollar
On the other hand, We have right TO an
t,cipats rapid increase In taxable property
The increase of over nine million dollars In
1882 10 encouraging. Much Of this is rail.

not paid anything on Its road-bed and doe'
not propose to while We are Territory. II
under Q State government liz road-bsd car
BE- taxed as other property, its 100 miles o.
track In Montana will yield fair revenue
By the end Of 1883 we will have over 90(
miles Of railroad In Montana. In California,
In 1882, the Central and Southern Pacific
Railroad companies paid, on 1888 miles o
road, taxes TO the amount Of $3ls, 726, and
on some contested county assessments hav'
offered to compromise by paying $S0o,oo'
more, making . total Of Sos, 225. II on
thousand miles Of railroad should be taxes
at anything hike these rates, the revenue
would be handsome. And then, II 10 no
unlikely, the Land Grant companies will b
required, ~ rapidly - acquired and sur
veyed, 10 take out patents on their lands
and thus render them subject 70 taxation
However, these combinations will come VI
for ample discussion when II b seen wha

For the present We are heartily In fsvef Q
Mr.. Hickman's resolution and hope Il VII

THE CHINESE CEMETERY.

The cemetery seemed to be the most curl.
BUS of all the sights connected with China
iom in San Francisco. came upon II in
the course If long stroll, and was, as it
happened almost the only outside spectator
to the peculiar ceremonial rites on the animal
Precipitation of the Spirits of the dead. This
burial-place is not grouped with the others
in the general Golgotha at Lone Mountain,
but adjoins that devoted to the city paupers,
out among the melancholy sand-dunes by
The ocean shore. 1t is parcelled off by white
fenced Enclosures for large number of
separate burial guilds, or tongs, rs the Fook
Yam Tong, the Tung Sen Tong, the Ye On
Tong, etc. One has difficulty to persuade
himself that lie can be awake when wit
Messing the doings actually here taking
place in broad sunlight and in Yankeeand.
1t is the practice of this people to convey
the bones of their dead to China, but pre-
liminary funerals take place in regular form.
One of the first class often enlists all the
'hacks in San Francisco. The bones ore
left in the ground year or more before
being in a fit condition for removal, aud
over these the rites of Precipitation are per-
formed AS / fingered in the vicinity
toward three in the afternoon, first one, then
another express wagon of the usual pat
tern drove up. They boie freights of
Cinnamon and Cinnamon, and curiously
assorted provisions. The "hoodlum
drivers, though conducting themselves most
peaceably, seemed to wear u certain sardonc
air at having to draw their profits from snch
a class of patronage. The provisions were
unloaded, and taken up and laid on small
wooden affairs, of which there is one in the
front of zach plot Most conspicuous
among tn in were numerous whole roast
pigs decorated with ribbons and colored
papers. There were, besides, roast fowls,
rice, salads, sweetmeais, fruits, cigars, and
rice brandy. The participants set TO work
at once to fire revolvers, bombs, and crack
srs, kindle fires Of packages IF colored
paper, make profound genu6ectons before
the graves, and scatter libations of the
food and liquors. Only the larger articles
were reserved to be taken home again.

AslIGKENs-RuInED FARMER.

Less than mile above the city of Sacramen-
to the American River empties into the Sacra-
mento, and Immediately beyond that point
the scene becomes interesting. One picture
we had on the point made by the junction
of the rivers was characteristic OF the coun.
Try. On the bank near the extreme end OF
the point, in leather colored clothing, rag.
ged slouch hat, gray haired and gray beard
ed supporting himself on heavy stick
distinctly outlined against gray sky, stood
sickens-ruined farmer. He stood on a
bank of slickens, part of many acres o. slick.
sns-topped land, now growing only dense
forests OF young cottonwood, all gray-green,
where once ripening grain and fruit repaid
his toll Unlike most of his kind, he had
not deserted his acres when they became
worthless. Too old to attempt fresh start
in life, too bankrupt to afford to even desert
the bare subsistence he could force from ont
or two feebly- living acres on the old place,
too discouraged to hope, too crushedto even
complain, he remained, growing withered
and useless and gray with the land beneath
him. As we rowed past he stood there
motiohless, perfectly in accord with every
other element of the picture-all sombre, all
sad.-San Francisco CAL.

PROGRESS IN THE SOUTH.

II is wonderful how the south is picking
up. The boom was slow in coming, but it
has spread over all the South and is visible
in every route of travel. Farmers are clear.
ng, refencing and putting up new buildings,
villages are spreading out and towns and
stiles are pushing enterprises involving large
sums and rushing all kinds of business.
Every day-and they cheerfully admit it
the sons Of the South are becoming more
and more imbued with Yankee push and
rush, aud every day that same enterprise is
showing beneficial results.
We in Michigan beast of our fright
smart small towns, but Kentucky and Ten
uessee may do the same. Here in this
Town Of Erin, numbering 500 population,
and having big hotel, fine court house
and plenty of stores, one could not have
found five houses seven years ago. Ten
years ago it was a county made up of hills,
thickets, forests and swales, with only few
farms worth working. A decade has work.
ID such changes as would not be credited If
.old of a section in the North.
The border Southron has healed the
wounds of war, forgotten that he once
owned slaves, ceased TO repine over his
losses and is pushing ahead with snap to
his eye that means business. Late falls,
short winters and early springs are an offset
in Tennessee, when wheat fails to yield
more than fifteen bushels to the acre. The
average in West Tennessee is not over
twenty, but it ia good tobacco country
and oats, corn, barley and Other cereals dc
finely.
In Georgia and Virginia the farmers are
crazy about fertilizers, and the wisest among
them admit that they are stimulating their
lands to over-exertion. In Western Tonnes
see guano is scarcely known, and farmers
seem TO be dead set against even the use Of
compost What small farmers around De
troit pay fifty cents load for they were
tumbling into the river at Nashville the
other day to get rid of. One may ride for
hours and fail to see single field which has
been enriched with materials close at hand
and without cost. II does not seem to be
from laziness or shiftlessness, but farmers
explain that they haven't been in the habit
of so doing. The lands which now grow
fifteen bushels of wheat 10 the acre only
want to fall into the hands Of our Northern
farmers to yield thirty. - Correspondence

weather experienced on the trip being on

A MISUNDERSTANDING.

A new brick building is being erected on
Main street, and recently double-eyed,
banged-haired woman with basket of eggs
on one arm and can of butter in her hand,
stopped before the boss of construction and
said:
want to buy any eggs"
"You will have to give her about three
tenpennies more" said the boss, directing o
workman.
"Give who some tenpennies ?" asked the
woman, setting down her butter f
Say, Jim, come around here with your
ak and hit her in the head"
"Oh, you're agoin' to have me hit in the
head" said the woman, putting down her
eggs. "Well, when you want me hit in the
head, just You commence ahittin'. Pm"
"Hoist her up hoist her up. Hurry up,
she !. burst in two" yelled the boss, as q
large timber commenced splitting.
The boss, now that the affair is over and
his nerves in heslthful state, says he
knows it was the old woman who hit him,
but at the time he thought the building mad
caved in, aud for the salary of Senator he
wouldn't undertake to again convince that
woman be was talking TO the workmen in,
stead of her.-Salt Lake Tribune.

SHOPPERS WITHor MONEY,

Said well-known dry goods salesman
this morning: az wish to goodness some
thing could be done to put stop to the
shoppers who-never-b nuisance. These
people are very well known in the stores,
and they don't give as much trouble as
formerly, but still they take up valuable
time, and good part of our energies is
directed to the effort to ccircumvent them.
TIE moment an old timer comes up to the
counter she is instantly recognized by some
one of the salesman, and the warning signal,
tap on the counter is passed along the line
Then we have some fun. The sold timer
will call for say certain shade of yellow.
She is told it is not in stock. sOh, what a
pity J exelaims she, that is Just what
wanted. II you had it would buy sixteen
yards of it. Then it is the next mans turn.
lie comes up, accordingly, aud tells the
first statesmen that he is mistaken, that there
is still bolt of twenty yards of that identi-
cal stuff in the store. He brings il forward
aud lays it down. You would think the
chopper who never buys would be discon.
certed at this turn OF affairs Not bit of II.
She says, smilingly: Oh, that is just what
wnnt LAZY IL asttie fur me, ana VIII see
Iay dressmaker and find out just how many
yards she needs. and tomorrow I'll come
back and buy it. Then she departs with
einper, but she never comes back. We
amuse ourselves in this way, but it's terri
bic nuisance all the same. We have no
such trials in England. and tho reason
that there about seven-eighths of the pop
ulation are bousekeepers who have no time
to loiter around the shops, whereas in this
country fully twa-thirds of the people live in
boarding houses sna time hangs heavy ON
their hands, aud they kill it by worrying
salespeople.
