How He Taxes Him.

Tom Brown was an ignorant, queer
boy, and was constantly doing things
of an unaccountable nature. One day
lady, for whom he had been doing
some work, said to him:
Tom, you're an odd genius"
.Yes'm,' replied Tom, not knowing
exactly what she meant.
II don't quite comprehend YOU"
''What, mump'

THE MONETARY SITUATION

Under the contract made last April to furnish
the Banl, of France with a certain amount OF gold,
90. COO 900 additional was withdrawn from the
New-Vork banks and exported last week. Prob
ably this sum completed the contract; but of that
we cannot be certain. All this gold which has
been exported has been Withdrawn from the New
York banks IN gold coin OF certificates and PAID lnto
the Sub-Tr easury in exchange for gold bars de-
jvcred by the Assay Office at New-lork. The
Secretary of the Treasury having referred TO tnc
Director Of the Mint certain remarks made In ms
column concerning the delivery OF gold bars uhderr
the circumstances without tho charge OF snti
premium on the latter, the Hon James L. hlm!all
has courteously referred MS to law passed Nl'y
% 1882 which reads as follows:
An Act TO Authorize the Recelpt OF uhlteu

That the supcrnendents OF the coinage minis,

CAPITAL STOCK.

CAPITAL STU
The decision Just rendered by the Court Of Appeals
first divon) in the OF the People eN rel Fairfield
Chemical Company vs.. The Commissioners OF Taxes
and Asses nenS of the City Of New York. IS of general
interest to taxpayers in this state. The Court holds
that the provisions of Chapter 456, Laws OF 1857,
section 3, which directs that In assessing capital stock
of corporations for purposes OF taxation the assessed
value of real estate should DO deducted from the
actual value of capital stock apply TO real estate
situated without the state of New York as well a. 70
that within.
The chemical company IS a manufacturing corpora
ton organized under the laws of Ncw-York, with
capital of 900. It's entire capital stock was
issued for its plant In Connecticut The Tax Com
missioners valued the capital at $4,000 1or 1885,
and from this valuation deducted the assessed VaIuc
of the company's real estate i'll Connecticut, si24OO
leaving a taxable balance OF 49,, 800 The company
claimed that the actual value of the real estate
measured by the amount Of stock issued therefor
should be deducted, which would have left nothing
for taxation here On certiOran proceedings the
supreme Court at Special Term, sustained the view
of the reiaor and ordered the assessment cancelled
This order was affirmed by the General Term last
March. The Court OF Appeals reverses both DECISIONS

"A Tenacious Memory.

Up in North GcOrg'a some years age
there was a young farmer who was as
poor as Jobs turkey. tie was very
ignorant, and did not even know his
letters One day tourist paused to
rest under a tree where the farmer was
eating dinner and recited a pretty
poem. The young man was pleased
with it, and the stranger gave him a
written copy. But it was useless to a
man who could not read. and the
traveller had to 60 over it with his
finger, pointing out each word and
letter. After his friend left the coun-
trylnan went home and took his first
writing lesson from the written poem.
One letter was missing-the letter T..
The next day he walked tive miles to
see a neirllbor who showed him how
TO make it. and then he was master OF
the alphabet. He got a spelling book
and 4 reader, and studied them by a
pine knot fire. Two years later he
visited Mercer university. at Peniield.
during vacation time, and the pro.
fessors showed him through the build
