with an apparatus which captures the

principle by which Archimedes planned
to destroy entire navies. We have not

words. Olsen took np a llible printed

glasses and with no difficulty. For
years he has not liecn able to read or
do line work without the aid of fine

coming weaker, and tielieving that the
Lord sometimes performs miracles in

watch, the reat-on for which illustrates
one of the traits of his character. It ap
pears that in his younger days the
watch he then carried was the cause of
sending two men to the penitentiary.
It was stolen from his pocket; the thief
was captured, tried, convicted and sent
to prison for a term of years. Mr.
llayes recovered his watch, and m sec
ond time it was stolen. The thief
turned out lo be a poor man with a
large family, and after he had been
sent to the penitentiary Mr. llayes con
cluded tb it he wonld get rid of the cause
of so much trouble to bis fellowmen.

JtrrKRsO!f Crrr, Ma. Feb. 6. The
senate has under consideration a bill
that Is of no small importance to nWf
e hsntri and tcaDnfactarera. It was in
troduced some time ago by Senator
HVmttef, ftf Knox eoanty, and seeks to
repeal i 611 tc!tpf o law under
hich notes afid aeeou'nts Helel by
merchants and mah'ufncfmvrS are
exempt from taxation under certain
provisions. As the law now stands
merchants a Ml Manufacturers make a
report of the greatest rtmorrtft of stock
they have on handtft any tirift? iwecn
March I and June t of each year to tee
county clerks and on this they pay a
tax. The law Mf. Bonner desires to
repeal 'provides that notei. 4tw bills,
etc., held by such parties shall not lie
listed for taxation for one year after
given. The theory of this provision, is
that the entire value of thestovk has
been returned for assessment In the
statement fllrd with the county clerk,
and that tb nots and due bills
lidd represent stock !oU which
has iW?( tffrfitttr faxed, in oth-
words; that .to ftcscs;? such
evidences 6T indebtedness' 'onlif resnlt
in douole a Nation. Mr. Ronnorth'nlis
hat the exemption laws refcrreil t-
are uneonstitutiorinf. bin owners differ
with Kim. and his bili has bn vior-
cosly attacked in the senate. He
stated some weeks ago thM 11 ineex
emntionsare renealrl several millions
of ddlarsof property wili tft addeil to
the taxable values of the state, ana no
doubt this is correct The merchants
do not seem to be aware that such legis
lation is contemplated; at all events,
its passage has not b?en protested
outside of the senate. Two years ago
a bill requiring merchants to list all
snch property, and even goods in their
ctiModv or consigned to them. pas-Hl
both houses befre its existence was
discovered ht the Tcrv class o men it
wit lilti'r lei! to effect Before the bill

ate'; nowevVr, StfeH d sirtrng pYotest was

lieing indorse! bv the scr-xte (if sftch
acfiorf. the measnre f.iile I. Mr.
Itouner's bill is now pending in the sen
ate as a special order", and may be taken
up at any tune.
A sub-committee of the house wnvs
mil means committee has tecnat work
for ten days or more endeavoring to
frame a general law out of the numer
ous bills pending alTectinjf iff fne direc
tion or another the revenue and th
taxation of property. For two years
efforts hare been made to enact a law
reoniring assessors to stamp notes and
obligations listed for taxation, and ren
der non-co! Ice table and non-negotiable
all evidences of Indebtedness not
stamped The committee Is opposed to
thii measure" artd so reported the
ntHcr" day. There f numerous
fhcasures of a soir?w'hdt simi
hir character, and the commit
tee firts iitt been able to agree on a sub
stitute ethbodfiri? Unv of the ideas. A
bill providing an indirect manner of
taxing mortgages by apptyinjf a pro
rata of the tax paid on mortgaged
property on the interest and principal
nf indebtedness has been discussed by
the committee at great length without
a satisfactory conclusion beinir reached,
snd it will doubtless be returned to the
house without recommendation.
The impression prevails that a very
large per cent of personal property,
uch an notes, nonets, mortgages, etc.
rcapcs taxation, but the committee in
averse to tearing np the revenue laws
and perhaps be the means of causing
worse evils than now exist In fact
the subcommittee has not been able to
accomplish milch. . as llw radical
changes prop scd are considered
iangerous. The general changes
of importance contemplated by
the committee relate to ad increase in
the state dramshop license from -"0 to
100 per year, and possibly the imposi
tion of a state tax of a fraction of one
cent per gallon on beer. While some
have considered this latter suggestion
in the light of a joke, it is not so re
garded by the committee, and thestate-
mei t comes directly therefrom that in
all probability the tax will be recom
mend d.
The house as a committee of the
whole has passed favorably upon four
appropriation bills, disposing of about
fcVo" 000 of Ihe state revenue tor the
years lHtKMt4. the school appropria
tion being estimated on the auditors
igures. This sum is, accordinirly, di
vided as follows: Purchase of bonds.
1.000,000; pnblle schools, H.moOO; as-
sessingand collecting rereuues.t.1tO,000;
Interest on cm era 1 debt, ?-V,000: Inter
est on consolidated bonds t41.0H0; in
terest on ft percent Imnds.ti81,00): inter
est on 6 per cent bonds, iM.fMO; in
terest on 5 per cent certificate.!, ?M;
interest on Rollins fund. foOO; interest
on seminary fund, rTJI.304; Interest on
trust fund, While the appropria
tion for the public schools was pending
Mr. Tnbba secured the adoption of an
amendment providing th:it all fees
turned over to the stat; treasurer from
inspection of oils shall become a part of
the public school fund. This amend
tnent may 1e rejected later on, but in
oy event it will be of no valne unless
the bill placing coal oil inspectors on
salary passes.
Mr. Russell, of Crawford county, has
introduced a bill in the house to pro
tect the traveling public from injury to
trunks and grips by baggage smash
ers. It makes the destruction or in
jury of such property by any railway
eomp ny or agent a misdemeanor, am.
in addition renders the company liabi
for double damage. Mr. Russell thinks
the misdemeanor oJause will tend to
cause agents who handleobaggage to
use more care in the future, and that
the doable damage provision will re
sult in the railroads holding employes
to greater personal responsibility. It
is understood that several states have
laws governing thts matter.
The house has passed an ironclad
bill to protect larmers ana ine poor
in ireneral from swindlers who obtai
orders for wares nnder a species of
false pretenses which leaves them suffi
cient room to keen ont of the peniten
tiary. The act renders any note or duo
bill obtained by false pretenses non
ollee table and non-negotiable, even
in the bands of a purchaser, and the
failure of any contract given oy an
gent to have specified the quantity
and descriDtkra of the article joid, bt
made a felony, punishable from two t
