AN INTERFERING BILL.

The extent to which personal property in
the State of New York, and especially in the
city of New York, escapes taxation has led
to several efforts to obtain a remedy. A bill
which is now before the legislature and is
strongly supported provides that the schedule
of taxable property which each citizen is
required t@make and swear to must contain
a statement and description Of any real estate,
"owned or possessed" by him; detailed
statement OF all liens Of mortgages or
judgments thereon; q sfnll statement of
personal property, including call moneys
on hand or deposited subject to check,
draft, or ORDER; all stocks or bonds
not exempt from taxation; all debts due
from solvent debtors, "whether on account,
contract, note, bond, or mortgage; the
aggregate, value of all goods, chattels, and
merchandise not exempted from taxation,
and statement of ailos debts owing,
with the name and residence of each cred
itor aud the amount due to each. The as.
SCISSORS are required to make up an ASSESS
ment roll of all real property, deducting
from its full value in each case the amount
unpaid upon any Indebtedness secured by
lien of any mortgage or Judgment, and an
assessment roll of personal property. de-
Quoting from the full value in each case
the amount of debts owing in good faith,
exclusive of debts secured by lien upon real
estate.
This bill has strong opposition as we'll as
strong support. The New York Times calls
it an "infamous" measure. The responsible
ity for it is laid upon the farmers, who
''seem to be laboring under the delusion that
somehow their burdens are increased by the
escape of personal property from assessment
in the citiesn

NEW Y0RK,s GREATNESS.

Mr.. Andrew 81. Green warns the New
Yorkers that they are letting part of their
natural advantages escape them by permit
ting the passage of the Hudson river by
bridges far above the city, which will allow
the traffic and travel of New England and
the south to avoid the natural route through
the city.
1t is the common belief that New York is
the greatest of American cities, because 1t
has fine harbor and large foreign trade.
But Mr.. Green says that these are not the
primary cause of the city's greatness, and
that 1t is the chief emporium of foreign
commerce because it controls the domestic
market by virtue of its routes to the interior.
New York is situated at an angle of the
coast where the sea penetrates farthesr into
the interior, and where the land routes of
communication with the northeast and the
south meet. The Hudson river, with the
mountainous region on either bank, was an
insurrmountable barrier. All travel from the
east to the west and south must pass by
New York, and the products of those sec>
tions must meet there. Boston, at the head
OF Massachusetts bay, 10 for like reasons the
natural center of trade for New England.
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Richmond are
local centers for the surrounding regions,
while New York IL the center of the whole
Atlantic slope. This commanding position
made II tho scat OF internal trade and manu-
facture, and foreign commerce came to It as
the best point for distribution, though Its
haEbor is not better than that of Newport or
80 good as that of Norfolk. There are great
cities, says Mr.. Green, without harbors, and
great harbors without cities.
This Is sound reasoning. New York's i'm
portance cannot now be taken away, but 1t
undoubtedly can be somewhat decreased by
running railroad lines above and below it in
stead of into It.

The emperor's regular dinner hour, like that
of the majority of his subjects, is half-past
1 O'Clock in the day. OF course, when there
are distinguished guests to be entertained,
there is state banquet at 8 in the evening.
In his ordinary life the emperor is not given
to luxury. He rises very early, takes very
light first breakfast and then goes out for
ride or walk, and sometimes for a little
shooting, according to the season. During
the bad weather his majesty takes about an
hours exercise on foot in the large quad
rangle of the old palace. After exercise he
takes second breakfast. consisting generally
of an omelette, ham and eggs, mutton chop
or chicken. At the principle meal, at half
past /, which the emperor insists on calling
dinner, not luncheon, the first course con-
sists Of bullion or broth, with rice or maea-
roni, or of Russian soup; then boiled meat
with vegetables, followed by roast meat and
pudding. If there are any guests at the Or
dinary dinner an entree and ice are added.
The emperor's supper consists of meat or
fish and pudding. His favorite dishes are
poulets sautes, with potatoes or baked fish,
especially perch, pike, sole or turbot. 9s e
