A CITY TAX OPPOSED.

The following which explains itself was
presented to the Finance Committee at
its session last night.

To the Finance Committee of the city
of Richmond. Va:
Gentlomen.-ln behalf OF the Richmond
Stock Board and at their request / beg
leave 90 ask through you. a r~econsidera-
ton by the city Council OF an ordinance
recently passed, imposing a tax OF %
cents ON every certificate Of Indebtedness
issued upon IL transfer of city bonds.
The tax t0 a very small extent affects
brokers. IF continued II will be "a part

But il VIII DE regarded as annoying and
unreasonable and undignifcd and dis
creditab.e t0 the financial ability of the
city. am indication not suggestive of large
ideas. IL will De complained of by every
dealer in city bonds. And 10 is such an
cxacti0n as might disgust a large hnan-
cier and defeat an important negotiation.
I'm al business matters, convenience
and facility for the general public are
prime considerations. I'm this case The
auditor lis made 90 gather a. toll thdt
Will always Dee objected 90.
We are advised that the eXaction of a
tax of % cents ON The new certificate is
against the constitution OF The United
States as it impairs the original
contract of loan. See Consti. u. =. Act
1. see. 10.
The contract Of the city with an buy
ers Of lts bonds is that they shall Dee
transferable at the office Of th, auditor.
The transfer necessitates the issue ~ a
new certificate and the delivery of tho
certificate is a part of the transfer and
completes h.. a refusal 90 deliver the
certificate without payment for IL is q
breach Of contract.
We respectfully ask that you viii sub
nit the question TO your city attorney.
II it is unconstitutional. You will of
course repeal the ordinance.
Even should the tax De approved by
the city attorney. we. as hnauciers, be-

ROUGH EXPERIENCES.

Tennessee.

All old drummers who make wagon
trips" know that when night catches
you out on one of them you are glad
10 find shelter almost anywhere. re-
member late one night had driven as
far as 1 could, and, coming to little
log cabin in the Tennessee mountains,
stopped and inquired if 1 could spend
the night there and get supper and
breakfast for myself, driver and team.
The old man who answered my sum
mons said: "Yes; git out and come in.
If you can stand us. we can stand you
'uns one night"
found this to be very interesting
family. The old man told me he only
had 10 living children. None of them
had ever seen a railroad or train, and
only two had ever been out of the coun-
ty. After a supper of fried meat, corn
bread and buttermilll I "fell into" con-
versation with mine host, and he re-
lated some wonderful hunting stories.
He said he had killed 81 bears-which
he called "ba'r"-and showed me some
ugly scars he had received in some of
his "ba'r" fights. He had also killed
great deal of other wild game. Dur
ing our talk in some way the name OF
Jesus Christ was mentioned. The old
man said; "Jesus who? Don't think
lie has ever been through here. Is He
a timber man or n drummer?" 1 an

A GIRLS GIRLHooD.
She should lie Allowed TO Spend II
COntented1y and Free
from Care.

There Is much talk in the press Of Eu-
rope about the marriage of the young
queen of Holland. 1t is said that she
does not wish to change her condition,
but purposes 10 rule alone, like Eliza
beth of England and Catherine of Rus
sia; and for this decision there is eX-
cellent reason In the arrangement made
for her, that If she should become the
mother of O son she shall vacate the
throne in his favor as soon as he comes
OF agel II the little girl has already
sufficient sense of the charms of O
"career" TO foresee in her teens how II
must feel 10 become a discrowned SOW
ereign In the prime Of heryears, she must
take pattern from the early firmness of
Elizabeth, who, both in her teens and
her early "twepties" refused several
good offers on the ground that "by her
faith and truth, and rs God heard her,
she best liked the state she was then in
and was persuaded there was no other
comparable to it, and so intended 10
continue"
But why should a poor child be teased
about marrying when she is only Il?
Queen Victoria. the type for all time Of
a matron monarch, did not make her
choice till she was nearly 81. Too early
marriages are the greatest possible mis-
take for girls. An apple is no more
ready to pluck as soon as ii is fully
rounded on the tree than is a girl to
marry because she is wonamly in figure;
a period of ripening and mellowing is
vet needed. DR.. Matthews Duncan
proved years ego by elaborate statistics
TINT from % to 25 was the best age for
the safe and prosperous entry into wcm-
ans kingdom Of motherhood; and, as
to the mind, every mother and teacher
of growing girls knows that there Is q
period. somewhere in the teens. when
the sweetest-natursd child has period
of "cantankerousness," a time when she
wants to 20 her own way, and fails ic
appreciate LIES benefits in actual pos
session-a period out of which ths
right-natured and well-trained girl will
pass into ripened and sweet womanli'
ness il patience be exercised towards
her, but which should not be in the
hands of an Inexperienced young hus
band to deal with. In one royal fam
lily closely associated with our own th'
experiment of very early marriages hai
been tried with notoriously unsatisfac
tory results. Let girls have their girl
