The enemys sharpshooters in the
jungle on the right, fired at long range
on the Pennsylvania regiment, but the
rebels were soon silenced by shrapnel
shells. The Pennsylvanians remained
in the trenches.
AS the Americans advanced they
burned the native huts.
The rebels were moved down like
grass, but the American loss was slight.

In the House finance committee, NAL
colin Jackson introduced a bill prepared
by himself and Geo. c. Sturgiss, Of
Morgantown, providing a new method
of supporting the State University. 1t
is one of the important matters to be
submitted to the present Legislature,
and is meeting with general favor The
bill aims to increase the annual tax
upon domestic corporations from $40
to $25, and upon foreign corporations
from $50 to $500. The excess over the
present revenue is to go to the Board
of Regents of the University for the
maintenance of that institution. The
increased tax would amount to $l25,0o0
a year and would save to the State for
other institutions the amounts now ap-
propriated for the University.

1t is hardly likely, that the consti-
tutional amendments will pass both
branches. Party lines are not strictly
drawn in the matter. Ali concede that
there is much merit in some Of the
proposed amendments, but there IS a
strong sentiment favorable to con-
stitutional convention. Mr.. Oldtield,
the Republican leader in the House, is
opposed to a"botched job" on the con-
stitution. He thinks it should be re-
built in its entirety, and when the
amendments come over from the Senate
he will oppose them on that ground.

The little junkets to the different
State institutions are causing some I'M
easiness among members who desire to
be appointed by the Speaker Of the
House or President of the Senate.
Neither has yet named a single COM
mittee, nor as far as can be learned,
indicated the name of a single member
of any committee. If the committees
had been appointed yesterday, they

Mr.. Bowman states that bills having
a similar purpose are pending in the
Legislatures of several States, notably
in New York and Pennsylvania, where
a great portion of the wealth is in such
form that it cannot be reached for pur-
poses of taxation. The word income
is defined in the bills as gross profits.
The bill in the Pennsylvania State Sen
ate provides for graded tax on incomes
from $1,000 up. The New York bill
makes the minimum income TO be
taxed 81 500 per annum. The levy in
creases in proportion as the amount Of
income increases. In New York City
it is said that the assessment of per-
sonal property is 1852 millions of dol
lars. and it is all sworn OFF, but 800
millions.

The Senate bill providing for taxing
telegraph, telephone and pipe line COM
panieS was reported back without rec
concentration, and rejected by the SEN
ate. The House bill, exactly the same
in its provisions, will probably never
leave the Committee room, as it would
be folly to pass it in the House and
have it rejected in the Senate, when
there is so much important legislation
pending. The House bill for the taxa
ton of express companies has taken
precedence over very many measures,
and has already been advanced to its
third reading. 1t is popular bill.
The Senate bill providing for fire.
proof building TO be constructed as an
annex TO the Capitol. has not yet met
with much opposition. When the bill
was offered its reference to a committee
was dispensed with, and the bill was
read a first time under a suspension
of the rules. The cost of the ground

500, 000 II is for the use Of the Audi

Things Not to Do ON New Years.

Don't wear new shoes or let anybody
give you a pair at any time during the
Christmas week. A Herefordshire
farmer once did this, and he "lost
sight of cattle that year" Don't bake
bread, either, during that week. 1t is
sure to bring misfortune. And, above
all, if washing day should fall on New
Years. put it off by all means, or you
will be washed out of existence" be-
fore the year is ended 1t is better not
even to wash the plates and dishes.
One thing. however, you may do to adj
vantage-go as early as you can to
well or fountain and offer it an apple
or a nosegay. and you will have good,
wholesome water all through the year.

THE DYING YEAR.

Gdndby Old Year, We speed the parting guest.
Although your life short, you lived your span.
You have your time to live and die like man,
And now has come your time to go to rest.
You rounded out the life you we'll began,
You frolicked with the Spring when you were
young,
And to the long radiant Summer chung
When DER the hills the bushing Autumn ran,
You followed her and fingered at her side
Until she fed when Winter came in sight,
Armed with his weapons for sturdy fight.
With him so grim you could not well abide,
You being old and weak, he in hts prime.
Death comes to you just in the nick of time.
