TUE DELINQUENT TAN SALE.
The List of Property First Advertised Re
duced One-Thlrd


Tho sale Of real estate advertised to
take place Monday under the delinquent
tax law will not include as much as
was included in the list recently pub
lished in TIE TIMES. Since that date
the taxpayers have been crowding into
tho treasurer's Office armed with the
necessary funds to wipe out their in
debtedness. The following morning
every fourth citizen of Peach and Honey
was there and all wanted to BIO served
at the same time.
The result of the advertisement is that
fully one-fourth of the delinquents have
paid up and the city treasury is several
thousands richer than before. The
coiored citizens have really made q
better showing than the white. reducing
their portion of the delinquent list over
third.
1t is believed that Monday will wit
ness another rush for the treasurer's
office to save the last chance.

L.Rend. OF sunksn ci,is,.

Dozens of cities and not a few incon-
siderable towns mentioned by ancient
writers have partially or wholly disap-
peared beneath the waves of the restless
oceans. One of these was Bangala,
which stood near Chittagong, and which
appears to have given its name TO Bengal.
Ptolemy mentions seaport called Ro-
maria, which stood in Comarin, in India.
OF this city the sole relic is a rock in
the sea, having in its center a well of
fresh water. Plassy. the place where

Town Bank, near Cape May, N. j.,
is so called from a town which once
stood on the coast, but which is now
covered by the waters of the Delaware
Bay. Wales also has its sunken city,
which tradition has placed in Lake
Llangorse. The famous city of is was
somewhere along the coast eff Brittany,
and various places are now pointed out
to the tourist as ifs original site. There
is said to be a sunken city in Germany
somewhere in the Island of Rugen; on
calm days it is even said that one may
hear the bells of the city as they are be-
ing rocked back and forth by the
waves. w. Muller's famous lyric is
based on this old superstition. The first
stanza of this exquisite little poem runs
as follows:
Harkl the faint bells OF the sunken city
Peal once more their wonted evening chime;
From the deep abyss floats ditty,
Wild and wondrous, of the olden time.
In addition to these might mention
Amalf, the sinking of which is cele-
brated in poem by Longfellow; and Sa-
vanna-la- Mar. which went down in a West
Indian earthquake aud was immortal
lied by De Quincey. The ancient Greeks
alleged that the cities OF Burs and Helica
were sunk in the sea, where the houses
and spires were plainly visible for years.
The waters of the Indian Ocean now
flow and ebb over the site of CaIicut,
the place from which our "calico" takes
its names. According to De Peyster's
History of Caransius," the town and
port of Scarphont. which stood on the
shore of Flanders, was overwhelmed and
swallowed by the sea in the year 1884.

was then shot to death, and the affair
created more sensation than considerable

a daughter Of Jackson secured an appoint

She was a modest, diligent, and capable
young woman. and discharged her
official duties acceptably In the course

Nosing around, he soon discovered the
antecedents of the young clerk and dis
charged her. She was friendless and
penniless, and as last resort went TO the
White House and called for General
Grant. He received her. and she related
her story TO the silent man. Without
saying word he took a piece Of paper
aud wrote; "The war against men is
ended, and my administration shall not
begin one against women. Restore Miss
jackson to her former clerkship in

loyal bureau official. and the young
lady is yet in the public service.
