TAX ON LAWYERS AND BRoKERs.-The
special tax of 1000 and 20 per centum on
sales of brokers dealing in coupons of the
State became law as part of the tax bill.
So did that requiring lawyers to pay $3.50
special tax before they shall be allowed to
bring coupon suits against treasurers. There
is an item of $500 in the appropriation bill
to pay special counsel to assist the Com
mon wealth's Attorney of Richmond in fight
ing coupon suits
There was another bill which became
law giving the Commonwealth an appeal,
as of right, in these coupon cases. Another
providing sinking fund for the coupons,
and charging against the principal Of the
bonds the excess of the value of the coupons
as received over the amount fixed as their
f1ndable value in the Riddleberger bill.
A bill became law allowing of the inter-
change of bonds, but it is now said that it
applies only to 10-40s.
AS to the Fitzpatrick amendment to the
appropriation bill, in view of the error al
ready pointed out and other matters where
in its language is obscure, meeting of the
commissioners and probably the opinion of
the Attorney General, if not a decision of
the courts, will have to be awaited before it
can be ascertaiued whether coupon bonds
can be purchased under it.-Rich. Dispatch

CONFLICT WITH A U. S. JUDGE.-A con-
aict with Judge Jackson, of the Q. S.
Court, of West Virginia, has been raised by
the Keystone Bridge Company, which built
the bridge across the Ohio river for the Ohio
Central Railroad, and still holds the unin-
ished structure until payment is secured.
The road is in the hands of receiver, and
he tried to have a telegraph wire put on the
bridge, but the bridge company refused to
permit it. Judge Jackson sent United
States marshal, who got possession of the
bridge, and the wire was put up. That
night the bridge company cut the wire and
barricaded both ends of the bridge, defying
the United States marshal. Under orders
from Judge Jackson, the marshal has gone
to Parkersburg to get an armed posse to en-
force the authority of the court.

VALENTINES Observation-Disclosures bust Of
Beethoven, upon which he is now putting the
finishing touches, is one of the boldest and most
effective examples of modelling he has ever con.
tributed to sculptural art. The work is an order
from northern gentleman, and is intended asa
companion piece TO bust of a celebrated author.
recently modelled by well-known French artist.
In receiving the order, however, Dir. Valentine
was embarrassed by no restrictions except that
the bust should be little under life-size and be
has therefore been enabled to give full play to his
creative fancy in the general treatment OF his
subject The head is leonine, especially in the
modelling Of the hair, and the drapery, while
manipulated with subtle attention to detail, il
flowing and strong in its lines. 1t is the face,
however. that impresses one with the fact that
the work is the scuptor's masterpiece in this d.
rection. In it is portrayed what some one
has termed the rapt and in ward tone of the great
composers mind. The expression is that of great
intellectually, softened by an abiding sorrow.
No student Of Beethoven can study Mr.. Valen-
tines work without recognizing that he was id
sympathy with the emotions that inspired the
wizard of Symphony in his noblest etforts.-Rct

The diving for the remains of the Greek
and Persian ships sunk in the great sea
fight at Salamis has caused a hutter in ar
theological circles. Little is known of the
great galleys with their banks of oars of the
ancient world. We have descriptions pre-
ennus of two ships built by Hero, tyrant of
Syracuse. But the description is wholly of
the interior. We read of rooms in these
ships with columns of Milesian cypress and
capitals of gold and ivory, of marble statues
ofVenus, of purple haDgings and exquisite
carvings, of gardens with trees and plants,
and ali varieties of bathrooms. One of these
vessels had forty banks of oars, but it is diff
icut to form an idea of what they looked
like externally from these descriptions.
