Back Taxes on GouId's Estate.

EX-Congressman John Adams has
written a letter to Corporation Coun-
sci Clark suggesting an attempt to
recover back taxes on Jay Gould's
personal estate. The difference be-
tween the assessed value of personal
estate and its real value has become
more apparent through the recent
statute compelling an affidavit of the
value of an estate to be filed with the
petition for the probate of a will in
order to assess the collateral Inherit
ance tax. Mr.. Adams letter quotes
the affidavit Of Jay Gould's executors
J. Howard and Edwin Could
that Mr.. Gould left personal property
of an estimated value Of $70,000 900.
He goes on to say: "Thus SO, 000, 600
is the executors sworn estimate of
the personal estate at death, which
is to be compared with $780, COO, the
assessed valuation for the preceding
year. The assessed valuation, it is to
be observed; will be based upon rep
RESERVATIONS made by Mr.. Gould in
person and under oath to the com
missioners. l write you thus, be-
lieving that if Mr.. Gould's sworn
representations to the tax commits
%sioners can be shown to be materially
or substantially erroneous the
amount of the loss resulting in the
city can be recovered from the estate
for the past six years"

The desk which jefferson Davis

United States senate is still In the
senate chamber. Senator Cockrell,
Of Missouri, uses it now. 1t is re-
lated that during the civil war some
Union soldiers, when the desk was
fOinted out to them, attempted to de-
molish it with their bayonets. One
of the attendants fastened to inter
pere, asking, What are you doing?'

polished mahogany tell a mute but
eloquent story OF the passions Of 1861.

1t was Prince Robert surely. Tenderly
enough now l took him with me down
among the fishermen of New Haven;
tenderly still heard mis- maudlin tale of
beggarly tranIp's life and the earthwide
0stracism of his own people; OF his count
less adventures on the borderiand of
law; OF his familiarity with the sta
rlpen or prison-loaf OF every parish Jail in
Scotland-never for crime. but for end
less peccadillos in which he held a
hopeless pride; tenderly still filled his
paunch with bitter ale, his tab jacket with
Sausages and his trousers pockets with
huge English pennies, and left him Sleep
ing sweetly on the murmuring beach
as his wits and the tide went out to-
gether.
Perhaps in the whole world this is the
only instance where gypsy royalty is SO
sadly enthroned in witless wantonness.
1 he name OF Prince Robert Of Scotland is
oyword of contempt in every gypsy
camp or community in every land. All
other gypsy rulers of royal blood, or
those chosen to power that ever knew,
held absolute sway. Their power is alb
soIute, because it is never exercised save
IN essentials. They are loved because,
strange as it may seem to those who
know not, their lives, from the standpoint
OF gypsy ethics, are lofty. good and true.

Down from those nights and lead me home.
His eyes were kind; his robes dropped dew
And fragrance Of that unknown land.

And with glance Of plying pain

A pilgrim f:5 passed And didst thou hear"
Whispered the traveller in my ear,
Ere onward into light he sped:

This soul knows not loves alphabet
"Oh, comrade mine, thou dreamest in vain
OF Heaven, if here thou hast not found,
In soothing human grief and pain,
That earth itself is holy 4iound.
Impractical in loves idOms now,
A foreigner to Heaven art thou.
Gold wouldst thou walk and blind, and
dumb,
Among those flaming hosts above,

OF all their thoughts and deeds is love.
Ana they who leave not self behind,
NO Heaven in Heaven itself can ind.

A little while thou lingerest yet.

Go back and learn loves alphabet

Thy lips to shape the heavenly speech"

Ashamed and weeping, 10 the road
Ihronged by the suffering sons of men;
a beckoning Face among them glowed.
SWeeter than all the harps of Heaven

Come follow Me, and learn of Me.

On the subject of the 'Parliament of
Religions the New York CHnrcAman P.
70 remarks: The materialistic and me-
chanlcal way of regarding religion i'm
pied IN this amazing proposal is only too
significant a sign of the times. Unques-
tlonaDly there are thousands Of people
who think that religions and churches
can be constructed at will, or amended
by all kinds of attachments like sewing
machines. They fancy that even the
Christian religion might get a few good
IDEAS from Buddhists or MOhammedanS,
or by hearing all sides. They regard
churches largely as shops where doe
trlneS and sacraments and rites are to be
varied to suit the tastes of the customers
1t seems quite natural to them to exhibit
religion by means OF samples like coffee
or Steinway pianos. They quite forget
that what is essential to religion is of the
invisible sort; that there may be any
amount of excellent church music with
out an atom of praise, and innumerable
Soup-kltchens without a spark OF true
philanthropy. They attach altogether
undue importance to hustle and business
and the various ingenious methods OF re-
Ilgious advertising. They delight in
speechitying and having the most funda-
mental truths discussed over and over
again as if nothing had been settled. But
apart from this radical absurdity in the
proposed Parliament of Religion, there
are endless practical difficulties in carry
ing out the scheme which are manifestiy
insuperable. In a display of what may
be called the raw material Of the Science
of Religion-the most modern OF all the
'sclences'-the most interesting, and in
many respects the most important, Eek
hibits' would be the religions Of savages.
But, fortunately, not even in Chicago can
the real religion OF savages be fully ex-
hibited-nOt even in samples"

zone Of the most unseemly features of
the controversy which has arisen around
the Briggs case" says the New York Err
dHli11er (Pres.), sis the manner in which
some ministers have threatened to leave
the Presbyterian Church if the decision
of the General Assembly be against the
Union Seminary Professor. II he goes
we go, they have virtually said, and they
have intimated that many more are of a
like mind. Such threats are entirely out
of place, and while all due effort should
be made to prevent erring brethren from
leaving the church in the excitement and
heat of mistaken zeal, even the threat
of departure should not turn aside the
high court of the church from inevitable
duty. Every minister of the Presbyte-
rian Church is bound in honor to be true
to the doctrine of the church, and is
equally bound to be loyal to the disci-
pine of the church. The moment half a
dozen or half hundred ministers defy
the discipline of the church to which
they have vowed to be loyal. they be-
come lawless mob, and if they remain
obdurate in their lawlessness, their de-
