ELECTRICITY.
(paik. BenJsn Il. For, M

After Franklins experiments were
published, there Was wldsS spread
belief that nothing more remained to
be discovered concerning electricity.
The punest of mortals could weld
Jove's weapon, and put the celestial
armory in bottle. - 1t may be said. y
wrote Priestley IN 1857. decrying thi.
hasty conviction, that there 10 a
ne plus ultru in everything. ami
therefore in electricity. 1t il true
but what reason 10 there to think
that We have arrived at itr" Noreason
teen. of all times; for the pen Of the
German Sulz.r was perhaps already
tracing the famous footnote in q quaint
little treatise on esthetics issued the
same year, telling Of the strange taste
produced by pieces of silver and lead
placed simultaneously on the tongue
the first announcement OF the ealyabic
current, long before the daysof Galyani
and his frogs.
With every new advance it become Q
more manifest that the ultima Thule Il
electrical possibilities lice deeper and
deeper below our horizon. A few steps
beyond the work Of to-day, and the
pride of achievement deserts US. The
prospect of the future conduces to q
most wholesome present humility.
Even FIanklinls quaint assertion of
nearly Q century and half ago may
safely be questioned. for before the
looming premise aud potency OF the
century to come, no one can be cure
that to-day finds us beyond the skill

We would urge on the Legislature

many instances. they bear heavily on

IL is a well known rule Of taxation
founded on justice aud fairness, that
property shall not be subject to double
taxation. yet, under the laws Of Nr-
oinis. there j. scarcely piece OF prop
erty or business in the State which Is
not taxed twice.

suit is that the State of Virginia re-
ceiyes taxes on $50 900 worth Of prop

$50 600.

same tine the Northern merchant il

Tue State receives taxes on capital Of
$4,000. while the firm has a capital Of
only $4,000.
Still another Gaze is that of the Vir-
cnia farmer, who telis his tobacco 10
the X chmond MAJ ket at profit of say
5000, and before he leaves town in
vests this $1,000 in mules, implements
or other personal property. He must.
