TO Abolish Certain Taxes.
Mr. s S. p. Patteson is preparing a
bill, which Will soon be introduced in the
Senate by MIR. Munford, repeating the
law imposing a tax of per cent. upon
requests to charitable institutions in this
State. The sentiment for the repeal OF the
law has been strengthened by reason of
the fact that upon the charitable be
quests of the late Major Lewis Ginter,
aggregating Sll7000, the tax amounts to
$3.50. The trustees OF some of the insti-
tutions to which requests were made have
requested Major enters executors TO
postpone payment Of the amounts until
the Legislature has decided whether it

the county's subscription to the Lynchf
burg and Durham railroad. This bill was
introduced by Senator Barksdale, and is
the first Of the session TO become a law.

of the country weigh upon the minds
of the well-feasted multitude.
The day declines and the sun hoverS
in the west like Roman candle, fling

there it glares, with a great red eye,

in defiance of the monarchical powers

Day pales into twilight, and, as the

THE sTAR-sPANoLED BANNER.

BY FRANCIS SCOTT KEY.
D say, can you see, by the dawn's early
light,
What so proudly we hail'd at the twi-
lights last cleaning
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
through the clouds Of the fight,
Ger the ramparts we watched were so
CALAMITY streaming!
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our
flag was still there;
o say, does that star-spangled banner
yet wave
Ger the land of the free and the home
of the brave?
On that shore dimly seen through the
mists of the deep,
Where the foes naughty host in dread
silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, DER the
towering steep,
AS it fitfully blows, now conceals, now
discloses?
Now it catches the CLEAN of the morn
ing's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on
the stream;
Tis the star-spangled banner; o long
may it wave
Der the land of the free and the home
of the brave!
And where is that band who SO vaunt-
ingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battles
confusion
A home and country should leave us
no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul
footsteps pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and
slave
From the terror OF fight or the gloom
of the grave;
And the star-spangled banner in tri-
umph doth wave
Ger the land of the free and the home
of the brave.
o! thus be it ever, when freemen shall
stand
Between their loved homes and the
wars desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the
heSY'n-rescued land
Praise the power that hath made and
preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause
it is just,
And this be our motto-"In God is our
trust!"
And the star-spangled banner in tri-
umph shall wave
Der the land of the free and the home
of the brave.

the shops and factories have turpsR
out their Haunting troops OF fashion
and beauty. Long PROFESSIONS, stream
ing with perspiration and begrimed
with clouds of the mother element
are completing their everlasting cir
cults through the populous streets.
Squads of Juvenile followers have fall
len off, and musical instruments begin
to sound as though their owners. in
stead of desiring to give out much
more liquid martial melody, were in
need of some sort of liquid them
selves. The van members of the pro-
cession, having ended their journey.
stand quite at ease, converting their
hats into fans; and, considering the
circumstances, look with very cool
complacency upon the unfortunate
ones who are left to bring up the rear.
Soda fountains and small beer estab-
lishments are now in the height of

Reports from all the large towns
where General Weyler has copyrighted
helpless Cubans to starve them to
death show that the mortality is in
creasing rapidly. In some sections half
of the concentrates have died; in 9TH
ers rs to S5 per cent has been the death
rate. Riots are occurring in several of
the larger towns and only the guns of
the Spanish soldiers have kept the
pacificos from a general outbreak. They
are SO desperate that they would about
as readily be shot down as 20 take the
chances of starving to death. Spanish
officials at the palace deny the great
victory Of General Garcia at Manza-
uillo.
