FRIDAY, MARCH IS, 1889.


Petitions are now being circulated
requesting the Legislature to repeal
the tax Of one dollar on each thousand
dollars worth of goods purchased by
merchants or slorekeepeis, This tax
is in addition 10 the regular fee paid
for license TO transact business, and
each person who applies 10 the clerk
OF the peace for license must at TIE
lime OF application make cath or Of
firmatlon 10 the amour, of goods pur-
chased by him or his firm during the
previous year, and on this he pays the
tax Some idea Of tine injustice OF this
iaz can be formed from the fact that
in come instances there are s'ore.

merchants in this city and in turn

frequently happens that three taxes
are paid on the same article. For in

quantity of coffee and when he makes
his return to the clerk Of the peace he
pays the tax Of ten cents on each Kun
dred dollars worth.
This dealer cells his coffee to other
grocers, each of whom pays his tax
on the purchase, and these grocers in
turn job the coffee out by the sack or
half sack, to smaller dealers, wha

The same is the case with many other
articles. and as there is always room

told the Governor that no owned his
business aud wa q millionaire. This
was only ten years after he had been par
doned, but he had been successful In
| everything he had undertaken.
A few years later daughter OF Gov
ernor Curtain lost her husband, gal
liant officer, who left an estate somewhat
encountered and but little money. The
Governor abost this time received q visit
from his ex.convlc5 friend, whom he had
not seen for some time, and he was sur.
prlsed to have him tell him all the cir
cumstances Of the death OF his son-in-law
and the facts OF his encountered property.
The Governor expressed his surprise, and
the kind fellow told him that he had
made 1t bis business TO keep posted about
everything In connection with the Gov
ernor and his family, In hopes that he
might some day repay him for his kind
ness TO the poor convict. Sand now"
he said, 81 want to.square of this mort
gage"
The Governor was much moved at this
point of his story, as can be imagined.
Here was the poor iriendle 8 convict
whom he had pardoned now offering a
helping hand TO one of his beneiactor's
children. The Governor refused to per-
| mt nun 10 40 as ne proposed-ln iact
forbade bin TO do 20. But some days
later gentleman called upon his daugb-
ter and gave her legal paper, releasing
her late husbands property from ell en-
cumbrances. The man was q stranger to
every one, and to this day they have been
unable to discover who he was, except for
the suspicion the Governor has of bis ex.
convict irierh,
"Who is he-what is his name, Cover
nori'
His namel My dear man, do you think
] would tell III have never breathed to
a living soul his prison name, and he has
lived such straightforward, honest lite
that none suspect his past, and will never
know 1t unless he runs for -Olllce-and
then let him look out But have warned
him against that and guess he is safe, as
he has already declined to be candidate

A corret pondcnt writes the London
Times as follows: "a curious case came
under my notice lately which, | think, is
of public value. A children's party and
Christmas tree resulted In most OF the
little people, and many OF the older ones,
being seized with symptoms of mineral
poisoning. The fact of several who were
present who had not partaken Of food OF
any kind being In the number of those
affected dir cted my attention to the
colored candies on the tree. These had
examined by the county analyst. Mr..
Lowe, OF Chester, whose report is to the
effect that the green candles were colored
with arsenious anhydrite. He further
reports that the rcd candles were cOlored
with vermilllon. There is no doubt
therefore, that we had not further t.
seek Tor an explanation of the symptom;
"a crowded room, with the atmosphere
charged with arsenical and mercUrla
fumes sufficiently accounting for 1t. Thu
candles were not OF English manufacture
and were bought with the toys"

Educated for Nurses.

Among the many good Works of the
Queen OF SaxoDy is her education OF
women OF all ranks tU be nurses. In 1867
che summoned the women of Dresden 10
meet her In council, and at the end Of a
year there were 1000 nurses ready for
service. They were called Alhertinerin-
ueu, IRON the name of the then Crown
Prince. Any one I'll in Dresden sent a
