The committee met at the treasury de-
partment at 4 o'clock, this afternoon,
determined TO settle the question OF
an income tax before adjournment.
Il was represented by such Of the gen.
tlemen - favored the proposition that
. general income tax would yield the
government an annual revenue OF
$50, DOC. 600 that making the exemp
Ition $1,000 would limit il to q class
amply able to afford il. and that in
view Of the large deficit that will be
caused by the reduction in custom
duties. there was nc alternative but to
adopt 1t.
Some Of the gentlemen who op.
posed the tax argued at length that the
political effect would be fatal to the
democratic party, and that it would
be better TO limit the tax to corpore.
tons only, and raise the additional
revenue necessary from other sources.
Mr.. Cochran, of New York, insisted
that an income tax ought 10 be laid
upon ell incomes, whether large or
small, and that any other course was
unwise aud undemocratic, in that it
did not fall on oil alike.

psoposal TO q vote six Of the IL pres.

Sea Air and Mountain Air.
sTO BE CONTINUED,

"a air and mountain air, both being
tonic, will undoubtedly improve the health
that is already fairly good. Children al
most invariably do well at the seaside,
while mountain resorts are in general
much less suitable to them. The same
rule applies, though for different reasons,
to the aged Dyspepsia. especially if of
hepatic origin, often docs badly at the sea-
side, but well in the mountains Skin
diseases especially eczema, are often az
gravated by sea air 1t is not clear that
mountain air has any effect upon them.
Struma, in all its protean shapes does
notably better at the seaside than any
where else. The bracing marine resorts
should generally be chosen. The existence
of rheumatism, cardiac disease or renal
disease is usually sufficient reason for
placing veto on the mountains. Bron-
chitis and cmphysema do badly in the
mountains, but often well at the more
sheltered marine resorts.
Obstinate insomnia is n contra indica-
ton against both sea and mountain re-.
sorts and calls usually for the sheltered
inland resorts. Milder cases of insomnia,
however, are often much benefited both at
the seaside and among the mountains.
Hysteria does very badly in the mountains
and often not we'll at the seaside Here,
again, if any change be desired, the shell
tered and moderately pracing inland re-
sorts will probably be found to be most
suitable. Incipient phthisis often does
well both at the seaside and among tho
mountains, ana it is one of the most diff
cult points in therapeutics to choose wisely
between the two. Without entering into
this obscure question fully, we may safely
say that if the phthisis be at all of
"strumous' type sea air will be found
most suitable; If of catarrhal origin, the
moist and sedative marine resorts should
be tried, and if quiescent and limited, in
a constitution that is not neurotic, the
mountains may have the first trial.-Lon-
don Lancet.

Hindoo and Irish Bulls.

A correspondent in India heard very
unctuous Hndoo police kharvari say the
other day when | went into the house,
l saw four dead bodies One of them was
carried away alive"
Then you saw three dead bodies and
not four" queried.
''No, sir, was the reply, emphatically
and reprovingly given. II saw four dead
bodies. The one taken away alive turned
out to be dead"
"What does he mean" I asked of his
European superior, an Irishman.
'He means, sorr, that of the four dead
men the wan carried away aloive doyed,
by lingo, as he was going along in the
kyart. "
And another story comes to us from the
east: There is an orphanage at Bandora.
A gentleman made feast for the little
inmates, one of whom was observed to be-
stuffing his pocket with cake. "Why
don't you eat it;' said the kind donor.
Quoth the orphan: I'm keeping it till my
parents come to see me-" 1t used to be
said that bulls were an Irish speciality.
But then the learned are forever pointing
out the oriental cast of Irish thought

A Story of Lucy Stone.

A characteristic story is told of Lucy
Stone. AT one of her early lectures, when
she made a strong statement Of the inius-
tice some of our laws did to women and
an appeal to have them righted, a hiss,
clear aud strong came out of the audi
ence. The little creature stepped nearer
to the front, quickly ran her eye over the
audience, fastened her 6aze upon one point
and said Somebody Kisses am glad of
it, Hiss it again, my fat friend, for it is
a shameful fact and deserves TO be hiss
ed!' The audience were overcome with
laughter and appreciated her ready wit.
The man felt rs much like a goose as a
man can feel, He got his head down be-
fore she had finished heY sentence, but her
finger still pointed at him. His head went
lower and lower, and as soon as the audi
ence turned from looking at him he slip
ped out and was gone.

Maxey arose nervously and went to
the sideboard, as he was too likely to do
when his mind was troubled. He had
raised his glass to his lips when that
faint, weird cry that was not a moan of
pain nor plea for mercy, but akin to
both, suddenly escaped the lips of the
patient. Maxey set his glass down with
