UNDERGROUND WIREs.-One or two more experiences like this icy one will be apt to convince even the telegraph compa- ales that the sooner they bow to the inevit- able, and put their wires underground, the better. it will be for them and for the pub lie. Repeatt dly, every winter, the lines are broken down by snow or ice storms, and telegraphic communication is inter rupted. The companies are obliged to <eep force of ine-men, always ready for duty, to repair the endless breaks and in- '-rruptions. Another, and still greater ob- jection to the system of wires strung on poles and house-hops, is the offensive ap- pearance of the mazes of wires. They constitute, with their conspicuous poles, an ugly effect and positive disfgurement, in every city. And there is no need of 1t. It is found by actual trial-as in Montreal, during all this winter-that the wires can be operated perfectly when laid under the surface of the ground. It is also proved in Paris The only way, however, to bring about this needed change in our country is to compel it by state and mu- nicipal legislation. In this, as in so many other matters, the parties that will be chiefly benefited by the change-in this case, the telegragh companies themselves stand in their own light in opposition to the necessary reform. :.

WASUGNCTON. Nov. 9.-Thc annual re-
port of the commissioner of internal rcvc-
nue. for the fiscal year ended June 80. 1881.

mat that the sum OF Sll5.OOO,OOO will he
collected during the present fiscal year.
The payment of the tax on the large pro
duction of spirits in 1851 was a material
factor in the collections during the past
year. The commissioner says that the
falling of anticipated during the present
year will follow from the diminished guam
tlty of bourbon and rye WHISTLES pruduc
ed in lsS?, on which the tax will mature
during the current fiscal year Another
cause contributing 10 the reduction of re
cc:pts will be the largely increased
expectation abroad of spirits i'm bond. ON
which for various reasons the owners can
not pay the tax. something like 10000
600 gallons have already been forced
abroad during the current calendar year
because of the stagnatiOn in trade and the
refusal of Congress to extend the bonded
period. \ comparative statement of the
receipts for the fiscal year 1883 and 1854
