II Is believed that after the first Of July
there will be such an improvement In
business that the-receipts from Internal
revenue will regain their former status
before the panic, and for the fiscal year
ending June 3Olh next will exceed the es'
innate Of the Secretary Of the Treasury
which was s9l,5O0o,O00.


There is good ground for believing
that business will very decidedly improve
after the first Of. January under the

ductive industries when 1t Is worth on an
average ten per cent, TO buy bonds not

simply the difference in the rates OF In

collecting taxes. No more taxes should
be levied than are necessary in ordinary
times to pay current expenses, the interest
on the public debt. and provide for the
sinking fund. All except what Is neces-
sary for these purposes, and with current
expenses kept down to the limit pre-.
scribed by strict economy, should be lett

A Scientific Movement In Out mAu'''


A number Of Wheeling gentlemen have


associated themselves together as q


scientific Association with o view OF


improving their own attainmens In


science and also contributing as much as


possible to more general scientific taste


throughout the community. Their de.
SIGN Is to enlarge the Association by add.
ipp TO It such persons as are willing to
contribute either their attainments or
their means, and thus raise fund with


which to prosecute experiments that will
not only interest the membership but that


will practically benefit the industrial
interests Of the city. Analytical Chem.


stry, for instance, will especially
claim their attention. By experiments
in this department they hope to
interest and benefit the iron interests Of
the city. They also intend to reproduce
in Wheeling all the experiments in light,
heat, sound, electricity and magnetism
that were produced by Prof TYNDALI In
New York last year, and that attracted so
much attention in that city. Prof TYN-
DALI was the originator ofmany Of these
wonderful experiments. but he explained
and illustrated them SO fully that
they can be reproduced in very
satisfactory manner by parties Of
ordinary chemical sttainmenta. Those
lectures and experiments gave a wonder
lul stimulus TO scientific studies in this
country, and even Wheeling, SO severely
practical, has been enthused to Q slight
degree. The result Is that nucleus for

and some Of the members are competent
to take a leading part in the work OF In.
s,ruction. Such an organization will be
a school Of science in our midst and Of
great benefit to the community. The
movement therefore Is one that appeals to
the public spirit Of our intelligent people.

Owain and Daiydd were on the way to the
harvest field one evening to resume the task Of
gathering in the corn-a duty rendered urge mt
by the need of making the best Of the harvest
moon, then at its brightest. They took food
with them for their evening meal


Boy, said Owain to his companion,
would it not be well that | should run to
Cemaes at supper-time to get my shoes from
the cObbler? Our master is not likely to come
to US tonight, and even if he should, can get
back in time to resume work after supper"


Yes, you can easily do that" was the
answer.


Supper time having come, Owain put his
bread and cheese in his pocket and started on
his errand. After going some distance he
perceived close to his path circle of little men
and women, some of grotesque and all Of playful
aspect. AT the sight be WAS, Of course, greatly
frightened; but after pausing a moment to
recover breath, he summoned courage to
approach them, and on doing so saw little
woman of rare beauty in the midst of the
group. She was so surprisingly fair that
honest Owan was quite smitten by her
charms. Seeing his attention fixed on herself,
she ran from among the fairy crown, and,
clasplng her soft arms around his neck, invited
him to join them; to which he j0yfuy
| assented, for his fears had now left him, and





OF her sex he had ever seen. Long was the
time he spent in company Of his friends
company so delightful that he forgot the lapse
of time. But at last, remembering his duty
| and remembering that Datydl might need his
help, or that his employer might come to the
! field and discover his absence, he unwillingly
| returned without going to Cemaes.
When he reached the field the scene wa.
wholly changed. His fellowservan was no
there. The field was pasture, in which cattle
were quietly grazing. While wondering a

Nor READY TO DIE The following is no fab
ricatiOu of an irreVerent secular journal but from
the orthodox Memphis Presbyterian. Travel
ling in his buggy alone, not long ago, in going
TO one of his appointments, one OF our good
brethren, IN the Presbytery of Memphis, over
toek 'toot pad with his carpet bag in his
hand. The roads were muddy, and he was
just at the time about entering miry bottom
With the pOlteness for which he is noted, he
asked the pedestrian ian entire straEger) il he
would not take seat in the buggy until, at
least, they had crossed the mud and the mire
The invitation was readily accepted, and the
conversation for a while was free and easy
about things ordinary and general. Presently,
however, the good brother, with a view to
make the conversation profitable asked the
stranger If he lods ready to die? Not knowing
the character of the person who had invited
him TO a seat with him, aud misapprchending
his meaning aud suspeotng foul play, he
waited for no reply, but spranG from the buggy
Immediately and ran for life through slush and
water.


The clerical brother, wishing TO assure the
stranger that he meant no harm, called to him
at the top of his voice, to stop But this only
hastened his speed, and like scared hare, be
ran until beyond hearing and sight. In his
hasty fight he left his carpet sack, which our
brother now has in his possession, being the
richer for his faithfulness by the addition of a
coarse shirt, pair of threadbare trousers, and

That grand old monopoly, the New Or
leans Gaslight Company. is evidently dy-
ing hard. and Its president. though pos
sessed of Jacksonian spirit. it is slyly
intimated will hardly be equal TO the task
of preventing its approaching dissolution.
The rich monopoly this corporation has
enjoyed for SO many years has not only
made it corpulen: and gouiy in its old age.
but like Falstatf, it becomes at times both
fat and saucy. After having enjoyed the
exclusive privilege for forty years of raid
ing upon the pockets OF the gas con-
sumerS OF New Orleans, it feels itself
strong enough to make good fight for
its extension. and boasts that thus far the
company has borne al. the burden" of
the gaslght war it is now waging against
the executive and legislative branches Of
our State government. The people of
New Orleans need not be told that this
strength has been extracted from their
pockets, and that it is to be freely used to
enable the New Orleans Gaslight Com
pany to continue in its highly lucrative
business,


This is not a question of politics. 1T
Is question of business: and We think
the Legislature so regarded it when it un-
dertook to correct abuses that have been
practiced upon the people of this city
clearly in violation of the charter of the
New Orleans Gaslight Company. The
president of that company would lead the
public to think. however. that it is ques-
ton Of politics. His allusion to North
ern capitalists and Southern CARPET
baggers." whom be says are to
have the exclusive privileges hereto
fore enjoyed by his company, and his
appeal to gas consumers to resist the law
when it is sought to be enforced and
Year: 1873

stand by the old company, clearly indl-
cate this But we are 10th to believe
the people Of this city, not even that por-
ton most interested in having gas at
reasonable rate, the merchants and trades
people, the people who have been in the
past deeply prejudiced against a Repuo-
ican State government. can now be
persuaded to allow politics to interfere
in business matter that affects not only
Democrats and Republicans, but all who
reside here and are interested IN business.


Therefore Mr.. Jacksons philippe
against Governor Kellogg 70, having
signed the bill amending the charter of
the Crescent City Gaslight Company will
be Of no service in convincing either him
or the public that he did wrong. The
constitutionality of the bill can not be
determined by Mr.. jackson. And, al
though his opinion Of the Supreme Court
of this State is rather favorable to that
branch Of the State government at this
time. we are inclined to think that if its
decision should be unfavorable to the
corporation over which he presides. he
will then be disposed 20 rate it as he now
rates the other coordinate branches of
the government-corrupta and menial.


Mr.. jackson, in his recently published
card to the citizens of New Orleans, says:
Gas fast as the increase of consumption
justified the step, the price was success
sively reduced to six dollars. five dollars,
four dollars and half, four dollars, and
finally, on January I, 1874. it will be
three dollars per thousand cubic feet"
This last reduction was not announced
until few days before the Governor
signed the new bill. The object was evi-
dently to defeat the incorporation of the
new company. The price of gas being
fixed at four dollars per thousand cubic
feet by the old company, the charter Of
the new company provides that it shall be
furnished at that price by them. If it
can be furnished at three dollars, and
fair profit left to the gas company.
then the old company has been
extorting more than a fair profit from our
gas consumers, and no one ought to know
this better than Mr.. jackson. who. it is
but reasonable to presume. is well posted
in the business affairs of the company
over which he presides. This was some
thing the new company could not be sup
posed to know as we'll. They were will
ing to furnish it at the price being paid.
Therefore if there is any credit due for
the correction of this and other abuses
that had grown up under an old monopoly
that has become rich and insolent, it
should be given to the new company that
proposes tc strictly adhere to the condi-
tons of its charter.

age the other day slowly making its way
along St. Charles avenue. After bouncing
along for few lengths over the old Nicol-

coachman to put about and go home. BY
the exercise of unusual care the elegant
little carriage was extricated from danger,
and we believe the Governors b.ooded
team escaped with unbroken limbs. But
it was owing to good management rather
than the passable condition o: the avenue
The Governor was surprised when he was
told that be had attem pied to pass over the
celebrated battle ground or scene Of con-
tenton between the Southern Paving
Company and the city. And he looked
absolutely incredulous when be learned
that our present City Council lacks the
nerve required to take the bul! by the
horns and have the road to Carrollton re-
paired until it can obtain the written con-
sent Of Mr.. Hart to something he has no
right to refuse. Or in short. has anything to
do with in any manner. As Mr.. Hart does
not live on st. Charles street he does not
care whether the city improves it or not.
He is engaged in suit to compe! the city
to pay for contract which he alleges was
completed and accepted long ago. and
does not seek in any manner to prevent
the city government from making such
changes as the people require. And if be
were. that would not be a sufficient reason
why the Council should pay any attention
