Few men have received more sym

the last of that great fortune which
he brought from San Francisco to
New York ten years ago. Innumer-
able stories are told of his rise in the
world and of those he helped to better
fortunes, and I shall try to tell you
one of these as it was told 10 me at
Saratoga two years ago. ''Do you

Vinton Eagle:-Yes, she is a noble
animal-in thepasture. She is the har-
binger of good living and the loved of
every household. The pasture is her
sphere and in it she is queen. Out Of
it she is a vagabond-game for every
NANCY cur-a demon who delights in
nothing so much as to badger, aggra-
vate and drive to desperation by tear
ing down and jumping over garden
fences, slipping through q chance open
gate, rubbing andhooking young shade
trees, tramping owe sidewalks, fright
ening children. 1t is a regular panic
when she can associate with seven 9TH
er unclean spirits, and with bells on
their necks, and more devilish than
herself, to fill the air with discordant
sounds and rasp the ears of luckless
sleepers with unearthly noise. The
seventh heaven Of her tintinabulations
are narrowing up the souls of the pi-
ously inclined who lovea Sunday morn
ing nap. In the pasture, she is a boon
to society and deserves well at her
hands. On the street she's a creature
of evil omen, an instigator Of broils,
disturber of peace and good order of
society, a marauder, a pestiferous null
sance, and deserves no better fate than
to be made into oleomargarine.

VALIDITY OF SALES FOR BACK
TAXES.

January, 1851, Will DC lhteres'eo
in decision rendered on Monday
in the Civil District Court by !
Judge Monroe.
1t seems that Mrs. Jane Bell
owned a piece ofproperty. on which
taxes were due and unpaid on JAN
uary LIST, 1880. She having failed
to pay these takes the property was
sold by the tax collector to B. W.
Taylor and others. !
Mrs. Bell learning that such was
the case, filed petition in the Civil
District Court and asked that Tay-
lor and the other co-purchasers be
prevented and stopped from at
tempting to take possession of her
property under their tax title.
And she showed to the Court
that the sale was null and void be-
cause the Tax Collector, in selling
such property, had failed to COM
ply with the law which authorized
him to sell property for such taxes.
The law to which we refer was
passed by the Legislature in July,
1882, and among other things, re-
CURED the Tax Collector to adver-
tise and offer for sale aciihin four
months after the PRONUNCIATION of
the act, all such property as Mrs.
Bells, upon which taxes were due
and unpaid January 2, 1880.
The Tax Collector did not ad-
vertise Mrs. Bells property within
those four months, but a long time
thereafter, and so Judge Monroe
decided that this failure on the part
of the Tax Collector to do this du-
ty during the four months was fatal,
Taylor & Go, could not take her
property, the sale being null and
void, just as though it had never
been made.
Should this be q correct inter-
probation of the law and be affirmed
by the Supreme Court, it will have
a widespread influence, and the act
of the Legislature on the subject
seems very clear.
| Under that law the failure of the
Flax Collector to advertise within
the four months makes him and his
sureties responsible to the State fol
all these taxes due on Mrs. Bells
property, and on all other property
similarly situated.
The act goes further still, and
says the District Attorney shall
bring suit against the Tax Collec
tor and sureties for all such taxes
and in case the District Attorney
fails within the time allowed t
bring these suits, then he himsel
: becomes responsible and must b.
. sued by the Attorney General, an(
l if the Attorney General fails to SUI
the District Attorney and the Ia!
: Collector and sureties, then the &C
provides that any holder of an,
/ warrant, bond or other obligation
, made receivable for takes due prio
e to January LIST, 1879, shall hav
e the right to sue the Tax Collecto
