NEW HAVEN CONN, SATURDAY MORNING. JULY 13,. 1873

Constitution. In a Louisiana town some
time ago, 1t says, parish sued tax collec-
tor who was short something under ten thou
sand dollars. A report was in evidence
showing that the collector owed several
thousand dollars, several hundred dollars,
and a certain number of cents. 1t happened
that the jury was composed of negroes and
only one of them could write. The trial oc-
oupied fifteen days. The figures were so
complicated that they puzzled the Judge, the
lawyers and the brightest experts. But the
negro jury did not allow itself to be bother
ed. It retired and in five minutes returned
a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for $40, 900.
The amount was SO outrsgeously large that
a new trial was promptly granted. On the
next trial there was another negro jury, and
in less than thirty minutes it returned vers
dict for the defendant! In comment upon
this interesting story the Constitution adds
''With such facts before them can our north.

LIGHT ON THE NEW TAX LAW.

LIGHT ON THE NEW TAX LAW.
Section of the new tax law has had some
| light shed upon it by an opinion by Messrs.
Hyde, Gross and Hyde, counsel for tie State
| treasurer. These gentlemen say; among 9TH
er things: @
Take now, the case as suggested in the
| newspaper quotation above: Smith holds a
| s., 900 note given by Jones which is secured
l by mortgage on Jones' house. If, in the
| first place, Smith presents that note at your
| Office previous to October /, and pays $40,
I said note will be exempted from taxation for
| one year; 90 that on October l, following it
| will be exempted from taxation. Let us sup
| pose that subsequently on or previous to
| November 1 following, Jones makes out his
mortgaged to Smith, and then goes before
/ the board of relief and seeks to swear off on
Smith the amount of the mortgage, i. 9.
| $5, COO from the valuation of his house. If
| he can do this then it will follow that he will
escape taxation to that amount, and Smith
| having procured exemption upon his note by
| q payment of the State tax will escape fur
| ther taxation as claimed by the newspapers.
But can he do it? Most assuredly not, in our
opinion. Sexton !, 1854 OF the general stat
ute provides as follows: If any resident in
any town shall be indebted to another resi-
dent in this State, in such manner that the
debt is liable to be assessed and set in the
list of the creditor, the board of relief for
such town shall on his request, deduct the
amount thereof from the list of said debtor,
and add the same to the list of the creditor,
etc.
The above saving clause of the present
law, in the opinion of the above named legal
firm, saves the local tax lists and bars out
the swearing off by the mortgagor upon the

a score or two couples will convoy" them
in "march" full of fun and frolic about
the townland roads, whers from every way
side cabin cheers and "Grah 60 wild vel"
greet them from lips, eyes aud hearts that
knew the same blessings when their own
lives were blossoming with love and hope.
One naturally speaks of the Irish wake"
kindly hearted person should put aside their
ignorant, or educated, prejudice regarding
the Irish peasantry, and endeayor to know
the Irish thought, feeling and purpose be-
hind the fact. That is q good way to do
about anything we may not happen to like.
Every priest in Ireland has thundered ana
themas against the wake. The church has
sought in every possible manner to extermi-
nate the custom. But the Irish heart clings
with stubborn tenacity to all customs which
are the outgrowth of affectionate regard.
Many believe the wake to be Irish, but 1t is
of Greek origin; and similar customs to this
day prevail in remote provincial parts of
England. I have thought upon and visited
wakes extendedly in Ireland; and while not
defending them, my own notions are much
changed. 1t is wrong to condemn the Irish
as unfeeling for the occasional apparent ir-
reverence of the wake. On the contrary the
reverse Is true. The whole idea in the wake
is to honor the dead and assist the mourners
to overcome their grief. "Och, thin, its q
fine berryini" or 'Faith, twas an Elegant
wakel" expresses the feelings of those who
live, for what they have set their hearts upon
at death. They long for even this poor sign
of their neighbors' regard, even If they
should make slip and not quite deserve 1t:
They are also a wonderfully tender hearted
people, and gather in the house of the dead
exclusively with the sympathetic purpose
and feeling of "rising the heart" OF those
who mourn. Repulsive as this may seem to us
unaccustomed to these scenes, there is still
human prsoticality and benefcence in the
custom; and if the kena, or wailing for the
dead, be now and then varied by little jol-
lity and courting, even that is the outcome
of a natural law not altogether unforgivable
or wholly to be condemned. For my own
part began looking into the matter of Irish
wakes with good deal of American airiness
and superiority; but upon attending several
some boyhood memories returned of where,
in my own loved countryside region, very
| excellent Methodist, Presbyterian and Bap-
tist folk, watched" at the houses of the
| dead, counting it no sin that among the
young there was occasional mirth and often
| the first kindling of the fires of love; and
| somehow, for one, while not approving of
the Irish wake any more than you, I have
been 80 touched by the true manifestations
| of grief. and simple efforts to cheer those in
| dolor and misery, that cannot find it in my
| heart to wholly condemn what is prompted
| in the tendersst spirit of the sympathetic
| human heart. EDGAR L. WAKKMAN.

THE SPARROW PEST.

The pestiferous English sparrow is again
in the public eye on account of the recent re-
port of the ornithologists of the department
of agriculture at Washington. Everybody is
certain that he ought to go, but how tc
make him go is something which nobody
can find out. Two States, Ohio and Michi
gan, have passed laws granting bounty or
dead sparrows. The Ohio law allows ter
cents dozen for the dead birds. Taxpayers
in that State will be interested in the esti.
mated cost of really exterminating the spar
rows in Ohio by means of bounty, as 1t Il
made by Walter B. Barrows, ornithologist Of
the department of agriculture. He assumes
that no sparrows enter the State after the
passage of the law, simply to avoid taking
that feature of the question into considera-
ton, and he estimates that there are two
sparrows to the acre. This, he says, is very
moderate estimate, but it would take 49,
000, 900 sparrows for the whole State.
If these sparrows could be killed before
any further increase took place they would
still cost tho State at ten cents dozen $333,
600. But it would be absolutely impossible

any expenditure of money, Mr.. Barrows
maintains, and he shows that considering
the natural increase by reproduction, and
leaving out of consideration the increase
from outside, the State would at the end o.
a year have as many sparrows as ever, and
probably more. No headway could be made

the bounty were greatly increased each year

HOW TO PAPER THE PARLOR.

The parlor, of course, is the best room
in the house usually and should have the
best paper and the majority of people
will be more particular with this than
any other room. A good plan is to go
by the woodwork, as, for instance: Maple
wood, use a yellow, wavy colored paper
with a ceiling paper of blush tint and a
little gilt. Cherry, natural or colored,
use old gold paper or ''metals'' for side
wall, and blue or white ceiling. Ma
hogany, a light terra Gotta pink for side
wall, and paper for ceiling with light
silver green metal in it. These sug-
gestions are the best for the parlor, as in
this room especially the colors should
harmonic. One very important thing in
this room is frieze, as it bears the same
relation to a side wall as a cornice does
to house. 1t should give dignity to a
room, and should be wide enough to adj
nit of ornament that will not seem
cramped or insignificant when seen from
the floor. If the ceiling is 9 feet high,
use frieze Of or 9 inches wide; if 1O3
or II feet, you can use frieze Of 5 or
IS inches in width. Do not use con-
ventional design above wall paper
whose pattern is lowered or vice versa.

while the quality depreciates. But guam
t1ty increases faster than the value de-
creases, SO that a time must be chosen
when the whole crop is worth the most.
This IS when the clover is in full bloom;
when fertile field presents a view as of
carpet Of rich purple and green over
the whole surface. At this time the
weight Of the crop is the greatest. Last
season a square rod of clover at this stage
was cut and weighed Immediately; the
weight Of the green clover was 1872
pOunds-equal to ten and One-half tons
per acre, or about two and one-half tons
Of hay we'll cured. The same area was
left uncut adjoining in two plots; one
cut two weeks later when the heads were
brown, weighed 96t pounds; the
other, when the heads were ripe. weighed
"a pounds only This test showed that
while the quality deteriorated the quaint
ty lessened very considerably. It needs
no proof to show that the partly grown
crop would have been much less in guam
tity than that fully grown. So that the
full bloom of the crop is the time whenit
should be cut, not only for clover but all
the grasses anG fodder crops as well.
Many years experience in soiling and pas
turing cows from early spring to late sum-
mer has proved that the richest milk and
the finest butter is produced from young
heritage Of all kinds, and that when the

from corn meal and cotton seed meal
is required to MAINTAIN the product in
both quantity and quality. In soiling
