He Rejected His Own Manuscript.

From the Boston Transcript
Speaking Of editors, the case of the editor
who wants to contribute an article to some
other periodical than his own-a magazine, for
instances a curious one. For the time
being he puts himself in the place of con-
tributor and feels the pangs Of a timid author.
The Listener once knew a newspaper editor
who was inspired to write an article of a light
and entertaining character, suitable for a mag
azine. He wrote it in his odd moments and
then set TO specializing as to whether it had any
particular value. 1t seemed to him that
1t had, but the reflection that he might be
prejudiced in its favor troubled him. He had
had precisely the same feeling when some
body had brought him an article that he
tcdnted to judge fayorably. How was he to get
his own impartial Judgment on his own article?
He thought about it some time and finally de-
cided that the only way TO get the necessary
conditions was to send himself the article
through the mail, to receive it with other con-
tributions and to treat it all the way through
as If it were somebody else's.
The plan worked to a charm. The editor
wrote little note to himself to accompany the
article, enclosed stamps for a reply or q return
Of the manuscript, and mailed the whole at the
post Office. Toward the close of the day. when
the editor was near the end of lot Of weari-
some communications, and had got himself
into the declining mood that comes with
fatigue. his article arrived. After he had
allowed it to lie around q WHILE he broke the
seal and read it. Then he took little slip
wrote on it refectively enclosed il with the
manuscript in big envelope, stuck on the
stamp, sealed the envelope and put it into the
compartment marked post Office" in the tin
box that hung by the side Of his desk. Next
morning he received the parcel back, and read
with breathless interest this note, which &C.
companied the manuscript:
Unavailable Too discursive and trivial in
its tone. Should have been elaborated with
more care. Many passages not needed in the
presentation Of the idea. Contains promise,
however; author is advised to try again"

II the Night Bell Could Talk.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
IF the night bell of the drug store could
only talk, it would many q wonderful tale un-

and it was plain to be seen that his chances at
the white knob OF a Capitol Hill drug store were
not of an approving nature. ''Why, you would
be astonished II l were to tell you Of all the
fool errands people 60 to the drug stores ON
during the night season. They don't seem TO
realize that the night clerk and night bell were
established for cases of emergency and neces-
sity only; but seem TO take delight in calling M
mp at beastly hours for the most trivial matters.
"A couple OF weeks ago . party of young
folks had the nerve to wake me up at $50 o'clock
in the morning to purchase round Of chew
ing gum. They thought that il would be such
novel experience, aud were quite carried

ceived on their way home from q card party. I

cases Of this kind, but there ID no end TO the
people who put on their trips TO the drug

PROPERTY SOLD FOR TAXES.
Collector Davis Construction Of the
Law Providing for its Redemption.

Several days ago Mr.. r. e. Alexander, the
attorney for Mary Ebert, wrote q letter to the
Commissioners calling their attention to mat
ter which he claimed either showed incom-
petency or disregard Of law on the part Of the
collector Of taxes. The matter referred to was
the case of John Ebert who called on the col
Iector in behalf of his wife, the owner Of parts
of sub lot "a, square 677 in this city, to redeem
the same from q general tax sale made Sep
TENDER 20, 1887. Mr.. Ebert claims that the
money was received by the collector and then
handed back with the receipt showing his
name torn of, the collector alleging at the
time that he would not take the redemption
money unless the man who bought the prop
erty at the tax sale would consent. Mr. Alex
ander. in concluding his letter, says If the law
allows two years to redeem property sold for
non-payment Of taxes he would like to INQUIRE
if the Commissioners indorse the action of the
collector. No more interest, he said, would be
paid by his client on the amount Of the sale
after the date Of his letter.
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION INVOLVED.
The matter created considerable interest
among large number Of people, and the action
OF the Commissioners is awaited with consider
able interest, for an important question is in
VOWED therein, the question of the right Of one
otner than the owner to redeem for the owner
properly sold at tax sales without the consent
OF the purchaser.
The matter was considered BY the Commits
s1oners and referred to Collector Davis for re-
port.
COLLECTOR DAVIS REPORT.
The collector, in his report, goes into the
case at some length and calls the Commission
ers' attention to the act governing this class of
cases. The act referred to is part of section s.
approved March 8, 1887, u. Statutes at-large.
After providing for the sale of property for
taxes it says:
inmedately after the close of the sale, upon pay
nent OF the purchase money he (the colector) shall
issue 70 the purchaser certificate of sale and il the
property shall not be redeemed by the owner thereof
Two years Of the day of sale by payment to the
collector Of said District for the the legal holder
OF the certificate Of the amount for which it was sold
~ sncn sale and 10 per centum per annum thereon,
deed thereof shall be given"
Collector Davis, after referring to the above,
says that while the law provides for the re-
demption OF property within two years il also
provides who shall redeem, viz, the owner.
He says that this law may sometimes incon-
venlence attorneys and their clients, but it was
evidently enacted to protect in some degree
the purchaser of property at the tax sale-the
man who takes the risk OF paying into the Dis
trlct treasury money for taxes which the own
ers OF property have allowed to accrue without
regard to their own duties as citizens or the in
terest OF the prompt tax payer. Collector
Davis says, In conclusion, that if he has failed
to properly construe the act he would suggest
the reference Of the case to the attorney for
the District.
