THE LEYEE TAX.

she will enter the ranks of the
chronic paupefs. 1t .sonc thing or
the other, there is no half way bus

ary,to say q word in advocacy OF
the tax every man with any pre-
tentions to intelligence ought to

possible 10 do the same. No other
way Will give him a clear con-
science, and enable him TO say he
has done his duty as a citizen.
The croakers and the hopeless
will naturally, either stay at home
and not vote al all, or else vote
against the tax; one is as bad as
the other. Why there should be q
hopeless man in the parish is a
matter Of wonder. With the general
cry of hill cotton burning up, and
shedding from the long drouth, the
overfowcd sufferers should be en-
couraged, AMI be able to sec that
they are better off than the hill
planters. 1t is said that it cost:
more to raise cotton in the swami
than in the hills, but if such is TIT
case, which is doubtful, it is The
fault of the swamp planters, anC
not of the swamp itself, and i
ought not to cost any more to rais'
cotton here than it does in.Warrei

is bad management at the bottom

IT is not enough to be mere king or queen
or emperor in these days. They all have the
ambition to shine in other roles, notably that
of literature. Queen Victoria has published
the simple annals of her life in two OF three
volumes; the empress of Austria keeps press
upon which her own sketches are printed and
now comes the ex- Empress Eugene with her
memoirs written in her hours of solitude.
She is said to write in spirited and attractive
style, and if the pages are not too deeply
tinged with melancholy the work, which will
appear in the fall, will undoubtedly attract
wide attention

IT takes heap of money to do any great
business properly. The expenses of the
Methodist General Conference, at Philadel-
phia, aggregated over $4,000, of which
amount the Methodists of Philadelphia and
its conference paid $1,000 The travelling
expenses of the delegates amounted to about
$25, 900, it requiring $1,000 for those from
California and 81, O24 for those from India.
The cost to private families in Philadelphia,
who entertained delegates is estimated at
$25, 900. It will be seen from this that it is
no small undertaking to entertain a General
Conference Of great church.

A CURIOUS POSITION.

Accounts Were Audited.

National Republican.
The first thought of many people on hearing
of the defalcation was that the government
must do business in very loose way if a man
could embezzle $45 GOO without a suspicion that
he was doing wrong. partial explanation is
found in the peculiar nature of the dsbursing
clerks Office He belongs to two departments.
He is appointed by the Postmaster general, and
his work is in the Postoffice Department, but
his bond is approved and his accounts are
audited by the Treasury Department Colonel

building also has absolute control of the fund

retain the rest until his accounts were audited,
which might not be for two years. and as was
actually the case this time, for a much longer
period The examiners found that he had car
ried 81, 900 balance unexpended of repair fund
for 1882 which he could not have paid back into
the treasury if he had desired until the account
had been audited and the amount ordered re-
turned. This amount was part of the $45, 900.
Colonel Burnside also drew an approximate
amount for pay days, and always allowed some
thing for contingencies. This left him twice a
month with balances ranging from $500 to So, 500,
which be was obliged to keep until ordered to
return it. 1t was from these two sources that

generally found as much genuine happiness
and contentment as among the rich. The
fear of becoming poor is greater source of
unrest and discomfort than that of not becom-
ing rich The ambition to outshine, to equal
or surpass some other or all others is the bane
of too many mems existence. 1t is a trial for
rich man who has been poor to 60 back to
poverty, but that does not prove that poverty
is disgrace, but only that pride is stronger in
his heart than common sense is in his head.

IT is referred to as a great sacrifice on the
part of the wife of j. C. Emo, the absconding
dofaulter, to part with her costly diamonds to
afford him means of fight. 1t is altogether
probable that that lady would greatly prefer
that such heroism be not SO publicly com
mented on. If Mrs. Emo has diamonds, they
were probably given her by her husband, who
bought them with money that was not hon
estly his. In other words, in the light of re-
cent developments, Mrs Emo has been wear
ing iewelly paid for by money belonging to
some of Mr.. Enos depositors. Suppose she
had declined to part with these diamonds,
