The United States warship Kearsarge

ahead" and within a few minutes the YES

was proceeding under sail at the time and
had, comparatively speaking. no steam up.
There was a terrific sea on and the ship

Being a taxpayer in the District and hav-

By the new assessment our taxes on real

amount to Sc, IO1 .07923. which one would
naturally suppose would be utilized to give
relief to the community as far as possible
in these times.
The next thing that strikes the eye is the
statement Of the Secretary OF the Treasury,
who says. in brief that he don't know any
thing about these matters land which. Of
course. is literally true). and therefore he
recommends that the estimates be cut
down $751;, 442 20. making the amount APP

That's pretty good; but then comes the
committee. who say, yes. Mr.. Secretary.

To the Editor OF The Evening Star:
The letter of the late Chief Justice fancy
In regard to the income tax prin ted In The
Star yesterday, calls to mind the story ex-
President Harrison told Of his struggles
with that same income tax law In 1854
he was elected reporter of the decisions of
the supreme court of Indiana Under the
law as it existed at that time in Indiana
the supreme court reporter drew no salary
direct from the state, the emoluments of
his office being made up wholly from the
proceeds of the sale of. the reports. he hav-
Ing the copyright. According to the story
as told by Gen. Harrison, not long after
he had taken possession OF the office the
assessor of internal revenue called upon
him and stated as he published the reports
on his own account he would have to take
out a manufacturers license. This did not
bother him a great deal. as 1t was compare
lively a small sum. Some time subsequently,
the assessor made another call on him, and
in the course Of conversation mentioned the
fact that as he sold the reports he was Ii
able as retailer and would have to take
out license for that purpose. The general
acQuiesced and paid the fee, asking If that
was all. He was left in peace for some four
or five months. when one day he was called
upon to pay a tax on his income. He had
no income except what was derived from
the office he held, and thinking over the
matter he reached the conclusion that the
national government could not tax a state
off1cer on the income he received from his
office If it could. and was disposed. it
could utterly destroy state governments by
laying such burdens of taxation on the Of
ficers that no one could afford to hold Of
flee. With this thought in mind he called
on the United States attorney for the dis
trict and consulted with him. 1t was agreed
that the case should be submitted to the
judge of the court for that district, and the
papers were accordingly prepared A day
was fixed for the argument Gen. Harrison
appeared for himself and argued the Ques-
ton from a purely legal standpoint and
flattered himself he had put up an impreg-
nable case. To his utter astonishment, as
the suit was an amicable one, when the
United States attorney arose he began his
plea by saying: IF Mr.. Harrison does not
like his Office with its burdens he can re-
sign" and made his entire argument on
that ground. The court held with him. and
Gen. Harrison took An appeal, but said,
when President. that from that time he
never complained of the burdens and cares
Of an office he had voluntarily assumed
The appeal never came to a final hearing,
as the same point was decided in another
case. w. H. SMITH.

such lizards are not plenty in that
northen part of the state; but they
are found I'm considerab bic numbers in the

handsomely mounted" with gold collan
and chains, and sold at s. to IS, according
to the value of the harness. Soon, how

the way the dealers are advertising for
them i'm Jacksonville, their advertisements
usually beginning: 'Wanted-l0.00o live

The small green lizard-although ne may
be OF almost any color-that has thus bean
made familiar to northern eyes has many
curious points that do not make themselves
appsrent at once That he is entirely
harmless. very tame and gentle. and some
times handsome many New York young
women have learned for themselves But
upon his arrival here he Is usually in the
worst possible condition. He Is a delicate,
gentle little creature. and the mere CATCH
ing and imprisoning him gives him q shock
which robs him of his most gorgeous hues
After the capture he has to submit TO
transportation to Jacksonville TO handling
and resEipment there. and to a long jour
ney into a cold climate; that by the
time he reaches 3 New York purchaser he
is almost in state OF collapse. The fire.
quent feeding with sugar and water which
follows does not much improve his condi-
tion-although sugar and water are the
proper things to give him. I'm moderation
and he is little like the beautiful green
midget that few weeks before was froi-
licking on the Florida sands
The most curious thing about this com.
mon green lizard is the way In which he
comes into the world. His mother lays an
egg, sometimes a number OF eggs and con-
siders her parental duties done. She ahsn-
dons the egg. at once and pays no
more attention TO IT. The egg soon incu-
bates under the hot southern sun, and in
due time the little lizard inside concludes
