QUEER TAXATION.
Remarkable Burdens That Have Been
Imposed Upon People

From Chambers Journal
Many strange methods of taxation have
been adopted in this country A review of
some of these is interesting The first tax
ever imposed was the one levied by julius
Caesar, who ordered the chiefs of the vari-
Gus clans TO send annually to Rome given
number of mon aud wild animals-the for
NOR, he said, would be retained as hostages,
and the latter would be used for the great
fights in the Colosseum. But very often
the men and the wild animals were
put on an equal footing and forced
TO fight with each other in sight OF
the bloodthirsty and applauding Romans.
But of all the taxes ever imposed on a pee
pie the birth tax" was the most Oiious 1t
lasted thirteen years, dating from 1886
Every person not in receipt of aims was re-
qured to pay 2S for every little
stranger" that came into existence The
tax was great burden to the lower orders:
but the mobility and gentry were subjected
to still heavier payments than their poorer
neighuors. Thirty pounds had to be paid
on the birth OF tao child of duke. This
sum gradually diminished, according to a
certain fixed scale, until it reached los.
the amount LIVED on real estate of go, or
personal estate of e6J0 and upward Rea-
souable excuse can be given in most cases
why 1t is that certain things are taxed;
but where the impoSers Of the "birth tax
can ind an excuse seems to our modern
minds impossible. Contemporaneousl
with this birth tax" there existed another,
called the bachelors tax" 1t was not a
Yer, heavy imposition, and was probably
intended to b. as much a reminder of their
duty AS means Of raising the wind,n
which William Ill. so often stood in need
Of. As soon as a man reached the age of p
he was liable to the tax, which was Is.
yearly till he took to himself n spouse. But
it did not stop with bachelors; and here wo
think it was unjust, for it taxed widowers
without chillren. Besides the shilling
every person had to pay an amount ac-
cording to his rank for the luxury Tor
otherwise) Of single blessedness; thus a
Duke or an Archbishop was amerced in the
yearly sum OF Gig los. an esquire, gl 5s.
a gentleman, 5s. Social distinctions were
nicely drawn then.

RUINED HIS OWN CHILD.
Heinous Crime of the Missing Citizen
of Jackson County.

6elnOuS Urine or the Missing Cltlz0n
of Jackson County.
ATHENS, GA, May 2S.-Harrison Elrod,
a prominent farmer of Jackson county,
stands to-day charged with the most at
rocjus crime known to man. Elrod came
to Athens a few days ago and obtained
from a business house a small sum of
money, giving as security his note payable
in the fall. He then turned his team over
to his son and left tor parts unknown. No
suspicion was excited by Elrods sudden
disappearance until yesterday, when his -
year old daughter, who had been quite
sick for some time. died. An
attending physician positively asserts that
just before expiring the unfortunate girl
told him of her immoral intimacy with her
father, winch she knew would result in her
death. Tine nows of the girls statement
spread like wil1fire, and in a few moments
all the citizens in the neighborhood had
assembled at the house.
A committee was appointed to investi-
gate the affair, and the attending physi-
clans were asked to examine the dead girls
body. The good people of Jackson county
are mortified at the affair, and it is geBer-
ally understood that if the heinous father
can be found. the code of judge lynch will
be brought to bear on the case

nearly all the delegates consulted to-day
were for W. D. Bloxham, of Leon, for
second choice, and the strong current set
ting in that direction may result In his
nomination.
TALK OF DAVIDSON.
There is some talk of the South Florida
delegation voting for R. H. NJ. Davidson
for Governor, in the hope of getting him
nominated, and leave the Congressional
field in the First district open for new aspi-
rants for Congress.
There are many rumors of combinations
for Governor.
There is no particular choice for cabinet
officers, each county having candidate Of
its own. The probabilities are that George
r Raney, of Leon county, and Judge H. l..
Mitchell, of Hillsborough county, will be
nominated for Supreme Court judges, with
one more yet to be decided upon.
Great enthusiasm prevails among the
delegates, and the convention tomorrow
will be one of the most enthusiastic ever
held in the State

ali the delegates to the Democratic State
Convention, which meets here tomorrow,
have arrived, and are busy tonight discuss

delegates come uninstructed. and the
chances for a dark horse getting the nomi-

car one evening recently, and next her sat a
native of the Queens realm. The window
behind the Srton was open, and the cool wind
blew in on the woman, making her shiver. At
last she SAID, In ladyliSe way, won't you be
kind enough TO close the window behind YOU
as It makes me very coldY' IL would hardly
have caused the man any Inconvenience to
grant this request, but he replied harshly, ~
prefer 1t OPEN you Americans cant stand any
thlng' you all seem TO have consumption" The
other passengers In the car were nstounded at
his incivility and there were many angry
glances cast at the royal subject. Finally n
gentleman rose on the opposite side Of the car,
and, approaching the Englishman, with about
go pounds avoirdupois, leaned over him. and,
grasping the window, slammed IL down with
vigor; then he remarked. Now. my friend, IL
you think all Americans are afflicted with CON
sumption, you just raise that window again. I
am an American" The little woman blushed
the other passengers smiled, the American re.
turned to his seat, and the Briton looked out Of
tho window and thought.
