TAD LINCOLN.
Some Anecdotes of President LincoIn's
Favorite Son.

Some Anecdotes of President LtncoIn's
Eavorite Son.
One of the prettiest incidents in the
closing days of our civil war occurred
when the troops marching home again'
passed in grand form, if with well-worn
uniforms, and tattered bunting, before
the White House. Naturally an I'M
mense crowd had assembled on the
streets, the lawns, porches, balconies and
windows, even those OF the Executive
Mansion itself being crowded to excess.
A central figure was that of the Presi-
dent, Abraham Lincoln, who, with
barred head, unfurled and waved our
nations flag in the midst of lusty cheers.
But suddenly there was an unexpected
sight. A small boy leaned forward and
sent streaming to the air the banner of
the boys in gray. 1t was an old flag
which had been captured from the Con-
federates, and which the urchin, the
Presidents second son, Tad, had OBJ
tanned possession OF, and considered an
additional token of trump to unfurl on
this all-important day. Vainly did the
servant who had followed him to the
window plead with him to desist. No.
Master Tad, the pet of the White House,
was not to be prevented from adding to
the loyal demonstration of the hour.
To his surprise, however, the crowd
viewed it differently. Had it fioated
from any other window in the capital
that day, no doubt it would have been
the target of contempt and abuse; but
when the President, understanding what
had happened, turned, with smile on
his grand plain face, and showed his APP
prevail by gesture and expression, cheer
after cheer rent the air. 1t was, surely
enough, the expression of peace and
| good will, which, of all our commanders,

hardly walk Suddenly he was seized with violent
cramps, his legs gave way under him and he sank
down in the road. Fearing that he would be run

SHE BROKE THE SPELL.

We sat within the parlor bright,
When day had closed its eyes;
The golden moments in their flight
Unheeded passed us by.
1t was an hour of koneyed bliss,
To which there was no string,
And in a whirl OF happiness
asked the maid to sings
l thought to hear a carol gay
That hunters sing at morn,
Or true loves tender roundelay,
From ardent passion born.
She fixed her cuffs, she smoothed a bang,
And then began TO play;
held my breath-the maiden sang,

CHRISTMAS.

CHRISTMAS.
This is the holy Chrstmastime,
When wealth is freely poured,
And mirth doth mix with thoughts sublime
Around the festal board.
From homes where warmth and wealth
abound
And want is never known,
To those i'll which the poor are found
Should charity be shown.
So on this holy Christmas Day
When 'peace on EARTH is heard,
If to the poor no aims we pay,
Can cheer with a kind word,
And TO them all this wish impart,
"A merry Christmas Day"
And thanks from many a saddened heart
VIII our kind wish repay
For kind words are like fragrant flowers
When scattered DER Iife's way:
They soothe the heart in troubled hours,
They comfort bring in deaths dark day.
And ever on this Christmas day,
While we on earth remain,
Our thoughts shall be Away
or when the holy angel did the birth of
Christ proclaim.
Then Christmas Day should be replete
With gladness on this earth,
For It's the day we celebrate
The Blessed SaviOrs birth.
And when at last our life is DER,
For all of us this debt shall pay
When we meet on brighter shore
Twill be a blessed Christmas Day.

The Central and County Taxes.


! In an elaborate opinion Attorney General
! Little has given Controller General
| Wright an opinion TO the effect that the
Central railroad is liable for county and
municipal taxes under the acts of the legis-
lature passed in 1889 aud 1890. The i'm
! trvssion has existed that the Central rgil-
! road is exempted from the operation of
! these acts because OF the exemption from
taxation contained In It's charter. The at
torney general bases his opinion upon SEQ
ton Is Of the act OF 1885, which is as fol-
| lows:
THE said railroad and the appurte-
nances Of the same shall not be subject to be
taxed higher than one-half OF one per
cen tum upon its annual net income, and no
mu nicipal or other corporation shall have
powe to tax the stock Of said company
but may tax any property. real or per
sonal, OF the said company, within the jul
risdiction Of said corporation in the ratio of
taxation of Ike property"
The attorney general holds that the Gem
trails property is only exempt from paying
the state tax, and not from paying county
and municipal taxes Counties and mus
inequalities cannot tax tho Centrars shares J,
but can tax its corporate property. This
opinion Of the attorney general is something
OF surprise When the bills authorizing
the taxing Of railroad property by counties
and municipalities were before the legisla-
ture it was pointed out that the Central,
Georgia and South western railroads were
exempted from taxation by their charters
and that, therefore, to pass the bills would
be unfair to other railroads Of the state
1t was generally admitted that the fore
going roads would not be affected il the
bills became laws.
The attorney generals opinion does not,
OF course, finally settle the matter, un less
the Central accepts it, and that it is not
likely to do. The opinion, If not accepted
by the Central, makes it necessary to have
the issue which 1T raises determined by the
courts.
The Columbus Southern has resisted the
payment Of county and municipal taxes.
but 1t does not claim exemption. The
point 1t makes is that the acts it resists are
unconstitutional. The supreme court has
decided against 1t, and, according to our
dispatches yesterday, it has succeeded in
getting the case before the United States
supreme court. II it is finally decided
that the acts are constitutional and that
charter exemptions are not effective, the
railroad commission will have TO be a
little more liberal in the matter of trans
portation rates or else stockholders will
not get quite so good returns on their raj l.
road shares.
