FRrpAr, Dec. IL, 1854.

Visitors: w. r. Gibson, city; Joe
DIckerson, former Normal student;
Miss Fannie Smith, city; Miss Jacobs,
g former Normal student; E. T. Kready,
Gettysburg, Pa.
Prot. Fairchild was present at the
Normal during the entire session of to-,
day. His TX after chapel was pleasant
and vigorous.
Prof. J. N. Wilkinson, of the Normal
faculty, will conduct the services at the
city Y. n. z. A. on next Sunday after
noon.
The lyceum and lIterati societies have
decided to hold a union session on next
Thursday evening. This action was due
to the fact that most of the students
would probably be absent from the city
on the regular evening. A program of
unusual merit has been prepared, which
we shall furnish in due time.
LYceum program tor this evening:
Recitation. Miss Eva Coulter; declama-
ton, Mir. w. Q. Stevenson; paper Misses
Alice Reynolds and Mary Reed; decls-
nation, Miss Amanda Kirkpatrick; es-
say, Mr. W. E. Woodward recitation,
Miss Anna Marshall; defamation, Miss
Annie Nesbn; debate = affirmative,
Messrs. Jones and Moore; neg
alive. Messrs. Phillips and Spencer.
At the rhetorlcals, Mr.. w. n. David
son read q most excellent essay on 1.-The
Campaign Of "a and the Outcome"
The writer evidences no little acquaint-
ance With political appearances. His
view of prohibition and St. John as the
cause of Blaine's defeat was logical IS
well as reasonable. When q political
party ignores the demands Of rOspecta-
BILE majority, calamity is liable TO
overtake 1t in the midst of prosperity"
! President Fairchild of Manhattan
college delivered his lecture on "Work
and Wisdom" on yesterday evening to q
large and representative audience. He
defined work as an effort of
energy to attain that which will
satisfy want, real or imaginary. Wis
dom Is the adaptation of means TO well
chosen ends. The prosperity of the
world depends not SO much on the ele-
phantine power of Its people as on the
ability of wisdom to direct that power to
the best advantage The superiority OF
the moderns is not so largely due to the
acceleratiOn OF force or energy as to the
improvement of mental capacity to
shape its employment. A worker does
not necessarily move In one sphere and
q thinker another-the one independent
of the other-but a thinker ought to be
q worker, and a worker a thinker
Thought, then, must govern power, or
power is not power in any advanta
geous degree. Bacon's remark thai
knowledge is power" Is true in the same
sense as il Is true that IAN engineer
draws an engine" The fact that man IL
"bundle of wants. Is what constitutes
him an progressive being. A persoT
whose wants are small will always be 6
small man, while he whose wants are
great will most likely be q great man
who tries to get knowledge ought to b
careful that he gain a knowledge of how
to use knowledge. The music was furn
ished by quartette composed Of Messrs
Jones, Woodward, Haines and Pritch-
ard. Truly,

WASHINGTON, D. G. J
Feb. 6. 1884.

Mr.. II. A. Biossat, Boyce, La.:-
S1R-Your letter of the 30th ult.
is received, in which, referring to
persons who hold special tax
stamps as retail liquor dealers for
the year ending April 30th, 1884,
you say: "The Parish in which l
reside assessed each retail dealer
the sum of ten dollars not to sell in
quantities less than one pint nor
more than five gallons, which ex-
PRED on the 31st December, 1883.
Since that time the Police Jury of
the Parish has raised the license to
$500, precluding the possibility of
small dealers continuing in their
business Of liquor. Now, are we to
be deprived Of the license granted
us by the United States? Or, can
the Parish raise this license before
the expiration of the United States
license 2"
You are advised that the special
tax stamp issued under the Internal
Revenue laws of the United States
to a retail liquor dealer is not IL
cense st is merely his receipt for
tax which those laws require him to
pay, "reckoned and from the first
day of the month in which the liza
bility to a special tax commenced
to the first day of May following"
(Section 3237, R. S.. And even if
he should be prevented from carry
ing on his business for this entire
period by reason of change in the
local laws, or from any other cause,
the laws of the United States do
not entitle him to a rebate Of any
portion of the special tax paid by
him. His license is granted under
the local laws, and when it has ex-
pired the fact that he still holds his
unexpired special tax stamp under
the United States laws gives him
no right to continue his business
without renewing the license. Nor
does it prevent or in any way inter-
fere with a change in the local laws
by which a greater sum of money
is required to be paid for the IL
cense. Section 3243, R. S. reads /:
E'The payment of any tax imposed
by the Internal Revenue laws for
carrying on any trade or business
shall not be held to exempt any
person from any penalty or punish
ment provided by the laws of any
State for carrying on the same
within such State, or in any manner
to authorize the commencement or
continuance of such trade or bust
ness contrary to the laws Of such
State Or in places prohibited by
municipal law; nor shall the pay
ment Of any such tax be held to
prohibit any State from placing a
duty or tax on the same trade OF
business for State Or other purposes
Respectfully,
WALTER EVANS,
Commissioner.
