ANALYzING TIE BILL.
Explanations or tho Proposed License
Law by the Commissioners.


The commissioners "brief" Of the license
bill, sent to the congressional committees on
the district, contains recapitulation of the
facts concerning tho personal tax. The brief
says:
1t is thought we'll to state comparison
of the relative values of real aud personal
properties in several of the largest cities of
the United States In Boston personal prop
erty hears the proportion Of 49, per cent to
tho real Baltimore, 32t per cent; Chicago,
32l per cent; Cincinnati, 81 per cent; New
York, 10i per cent; Philadelphia, / per cent.
Providence, 81 per cent, and the District of
Columbia, 12l per cent.
1.-THE Now York returns are denounced as
unfair, while Philadelphia's personal taxes
are limited to very few possessions. This
district, with little commerce aud less manu-
features, has nothing kindred to communi-
ties where such advantages constitute justi-
fable basis Of impost."
IL gives the following table as resulting
from an analysis of the returns of personal
property, and further says:

are not directly reached by the provisions of

1t is not admitted that the assessment of
1852 was correct, but such a difference us over
100 per cent. between one aud another year
would seem to give occasion for establishing
n frmer basis for revenue. Deductions have
becn made upon these companies after care
full and c0nBiderate examination Of their
affairs. Carts, drays, and wagons and dealers
in the markets have been reduced more in
actual amount than the corporations.
Upon consultation with the domestic and
foreign insurance companies it was found
that the domestic companies, doing two-fifths
of the business. were paying four-tifths Of the
taxes, and that foreign companies doing
three-ffths of the business paid only one-iifth
of the taxes. Tho proposition now submitted
was adjusted by mutual agreement with the
representatives Of the home and foreign COM
panies.
The license applied to the telegraph tele-
phone, and electric light companies, though
largely increased, is regarded as proper.
Banks and bankers have hitherto under
the phraseology of the present law almost
entirely escaped taxation and license. The
increased amount-from 5000 to SO, 000-was
agreed upod as fair by their representatives
and the commissioners.
Section 40 imposes license upon dealers
in general merchandise--a class that has of
late years only contributed through personal
taxation. The minimum of So cents per
month could scarcely be n hardship upon the
smallest trader, while tho larger dealers are
called upon to pay in proportion to their
business. Such returns as are made by mer-
chants to the mercantile agencies will be
guides for proportionate license.
BY section 90, carts, drays, and wagons
will pay license equivalent to payments for
the Same through the present personal tax.

Woman's Tenacity of Life.


1t appears from the gathered stats
tics of the world that women have a
greater tenacity of life than men.
Nature worships the female in all
its varieties. Among insects the male
perishes at relatively early period
In plants the seminate blossoms die
earliest. and are produced in the weak
err limbs Female quadrupeds have
more endurance than males. IN the
human race, despite the intellectual
and physical strength of man, the
woman endures longest and will bear
paia TO which the strongest man sue
cumbs. Zymotlc diseases are more
fatal to males, and more male chill
dren die than females. Deverga as
seris that the proportion dying sud
denly is about 100 women To- every
$50 men; 1850 men in the United
States, in 1870, committed suicide, to
2S5 women. Iutemperance, apoplexy,
hydrocephalus, affections of the heart
and liver, scrofula, paralysis, are far
more fatal to males than females
Pulmonary consumption, on the
other hand, is more deadly to the lat
ter. Females in cities are more prone
to consumption than in the country.
All old countries not disturbed by
emigrants have a majority of females
in the population. Ia royal families
the statistics show more daughters
than sons. The Hebrew woman is
exceptionally long-lived, the colored
man exceptionally short-lived. The
married state is favorable to proiong-
alton of life among women. DR..
Hough remarks that there are from
two to six per cent. more males born
than females, yet there is more than
SIX per cent. excess of females in the
living populations, From which
statistics we conclude that all women
who can possibly obtain one of these
rapidly departing men ought to marry,
and that as men are likely to become
very scare, that they cannot be suf-
fciently priced by the other sex.
