She Looked Into Heaven.

Mrs. Charles Collins arrived at
Chapmanvle with the remains Of her
husband, who had died at Kinzua.
She attended the funeral and i'm
mediately afterwards was taken dam
gerously' ill and apparently died.
Twelve hours after her supposed
death Mrs. Collins showed signs Of
animation. Two hours later she was
sitting up conversing with her friends
She related marvellous experience
She said that her soul had left her
body during her comatose state and
gone straight to heaven. She saw the
Saviour, she said, and the wonderful,
magniiicence Of his surroundings
were too wonderful to be expressed in
words. "All that I have seen," said
Mrs. Collins, II can never reveal. but
| know that l was dead, l know
that went to heaven and my eyos
beheld the glories Of the Lord. Oh.
why didn't you let me alone? | don't
want to live here now. knowing what
unspeakable glories are up there"
Mira. Collins Is 3S years Of age and Of
more than ordinary intelligence. She
told her remarkable stories calmly
and earnestly, and honestly lamente,l
that she had returned to earth again
Mrs. Collins is positive that is vas
not dream nor a vision, but that
her soul was transported to heaven

of the will. The defense introduced
a novel plea, which was based on the
following remarkable story: Barber s

boy. When one day old the bov was
placed in charge of an aunt, who had
the sa me day given birth to a boy
One of the bows died and the nurse

was finally decided that it was the
son of young Barber's aunt rhe
defense claimed that it was ". K

Prescription OF Taxes.
THE ACT OF 1886 SoT RETROACTIVE

THE ACT OF 1886 not RETROACTIVE.
In the suit OF II. Tebbe, Jr., VS..
City Of New Orleans, suit to annul
taxes, Judge Ellis Yesterday gave
Judgment in favor OF defendant, dis
missing plaintiffs demand, for the
following reasons:
The plaintiff declares that tn. city
taxes for 1880 to 1884, inclusive, are
e1tinguishcd by the prescription Of
three and FIVE years, which he pleads
against them. He prays that said
taxes may be extinguished by pre-.
scription and not 10 bear against the
property which his petition describe.
and on which taxes were asse3sed
BY the Law as construed and settled
in the succession CT Stewart in De.
cember last, city taxes are unpre
scribable, and the plea Of the pre-.
scription against the taxes must ht
overrnled.
In State ex rel, Jackson rs. Reco-.
der (o4 A, ,l'J) 1t was held that unde!
the express terms of Acts Nos. 6S O
1870 and ~ of 1871, taxes are secured
by mortgage az well as a lien ant
privilege, and that the prescription
Of three years against the lien ant
privilege under Act No. 9G of 1877:
does not affect the mortgage.
In the succession Of Stewart in wa
held that Act No. - Of 1880 and Ac
No. 90 Of 1882 are not applicable t,
city taxes, ard that Act No. 2S o
1856 is the only law since the adop
ton of the Constitution Of 1879 whicl
fixes the prescription Of city liens snc
mortgages. The term fixed by thi
act is three years from the 3lst O
December Of the year i, which th
taxes are assessed, and by that decis
ion said law does not retroact. It
provisions, therefore, cannot avail tn
plaintiff. for all taxes from which h
asks that his property may be relieve,

The sbove VIC clip from the Times
Democrat opens up an important
question as to tax prescription &c.
We know Of property in this PAR
ish that has not been on the roll
slnce 1877, at which time the descrir-
ton Of the property wss recorded as
then required in the Mortgage record.
not as title but to Operate Hi a lien
upon the land
Now it occurs 10 us thet if three
years back taxes were paid that this
kind ofproperty would be free from
the State encumbarance.
The simple recordation in mortgage
records to preserve lien, is not, in
our opinion, sufficient to transfer
title to the State.
This is an important decision and
applies to rural as well az urban
property.

HIS STRONG VIEWS ON THE TEEDEN-

am Democrat, which all the wo.i
implies. I am, moreover, an intense
Democrat, ia that | believe that the
true principles Of the Demoorati;
party are essential to the highest we'll
being Of this country. During the
war the Republican party had su-
preme and unquestioned control Of
public policy. No one will question
the service it rendered AZ that time,
but the rank and tie Of the army was
COMPOSED largely Of Democrats. The
grea, bulk Of the people frcm East to
West. without regard to party afIllia-
tions, were solidIy patriotic and ready
for any necessary amount of sacrifice
for the preservation Of our institu-
tions. Ii is folly to claim that the
war was fought by either Republicans
or Democrats; it was fought by the
American citizens of the North:
But it is plain" he said, with
great seriousness, that under Re
publican administrations there has
been given fresh and dangerous
impetus to monopolies, trusts and
combines. Immense fortunes have
been accumulated. unknown in the
davs of our fathers. They are Pc
culiarity Of post-bellum times, and
The control which they arbitrarily e1-
erclse over the cost of existence is a
direct menace to the welfare Of the
workingmen and our farmers"
Mr.. Cleveland has very decided
opinions Oh this subject. The party.
he declares, which willingly encour-
ages these evil tendencies is no.
worthy to be called the party Of the
people. As Democrat the Presi-
dent believes strongle in the masses
and has very large sympathy for
the working classes. Whatever in
terferes with their interests interferes
with the great majority of our citi.
