TUB DIRECT TAX MATTER
The hill to refund the direct taxes lev
ied by the government upon the states at
the beginning of the war will undoubted
ly pass Congress this session. It stands
first upon the Senate calendar, and there
is a determination on the part of both
Republicans and Democrats to push the
measure through. It passed the Senate
in the Forty-ninth Congress, but in the
general wreck of legislation in the House
on account of the dilatory tactics of the
dominant party it was not reached in that
body. IJetter fortune undoubtedly will
attend the scheme this year. As the mat
ter affects all the States, as well as all the
Territories which were organized at the
beginning of the war, a few words of ex
planation will be of interest.
At the beginning of the war the Gov
ernment found itself sorely in need of
funds, and laws were passed levying a
tax on each State and Territory aud the
District of Columbia, in 'proportion to
population. All the States, barring Cal
ifornia and Wisconsin, except those in
actual rebellion, paid the sums required
promptly, and the two delinquent States
named paid all but a small portion of the
money asked from them. Colorado,
which is still in arrears, we believe, for a
small part of the sum required f;om it,
was a Territory when the tax was ievied.
The Territories neglected payment at the
time, although New Mexico lias since
fully complied with the terms of the art,
as has also South Carolina, which was in
rebellion when the tax acts were passed.
During the war small collections of this
tax were made within the Union lines in
Virginia, Xorth Carolina. Mississippi,
Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee and Arkan
sas. The acts levying the tax were ap
proved August 5, 1861, and .Time 7, lbG2.
The following are the States which have
fully paid the tax, with the amounts

The states and territories still in arrears
for the direct tax are: Alabama, Arkan
sas, California, Colorado, Dakota, Florida
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vir
ginia, Washington Territory and Wiscon
sin. Some of these are in default for
small sums only. This is due to the fact
that the treasury department, in obe
dience to a regulation which it adopted a
few years ago, has been in the habit of
witholding moneys due from the gov
ernment to the delinquents, and crediting
these sums to the direct tax account. We
have understood that the treasury officials
under tho present administration have
not enforced this regulation so rigidly as
some of their predecessors did.
Of the total amount levied under the
acts named, about $15,000,000 in all has
been collected, leaving about $3,000,000
yet due. None of the delinquent states
or territories, it is safe to say, would ever
cheerfully pay the amounts which they
owe under the direct tax laws, unless the
money should be urgently needed by the
government, and the practice of collect
ing it by the treasury department in the
manner referred to is both tedious and
disagreeable. The government has al
ready more money in its vaults than it
knows how to dispose of wisely. The
simplest and moit sensible method of set
tling the whole question, therefore, is for
congress to pass the bill refunding the
tax to the states and territories which
have paid it. This would cancel the debt
due the government by the delinquent
commonwealths, make a decidedly ac
ceptable addition to the funds in the
treasuries of the states and territories
which paid the tax, and reduce the
troublesome federal surplus to the extent
of about $15,000,000. Globe J)ti.

j .E ACHERON HORSE.
WHAT AN ENTHUSIASTIC UNITED
STATES JSENATOR 8AYS OF HIM.
What lit Said of the I'erclieron HorM'f
Origin Iloraes Used In Pari-Cliarae
terUtlc of tli Percheron Treatment
of the IIort.
Senator Palmer, of Michigan, is an en
thusiast on the Percheron horse, and quite
& romance is connected with his love for
it. The first Percherons he ever saw
were painted ones, and they formed a part
of Rosa JJonheur's noted picture, "The
florso Fair," which was hanging in Mrs,
A. T. Stewart's picture gallery at tle
time, lie was so well pleased with them
that he investigated their character and
went personally to France to pick out
Borne for his farm. lie has now sixty of
these animals, ranging in value from
ft 1,000 to 3,000 each, and he Is the presl
ilent of the Percheron Horse society of the
United States. "While in France last year
he mode a speech to the Percheron Horse
Breeders' society of France, and he thinks
that this horse is the best breed in the
world for general purposes.
. "It Is," said lie, "the horse for the
farmer. He can take it from the lumber
wagon and use it in his carriage, and I
have been told of instances where Per
cheron horses weighing 1,700 pounds have
gone a mile in three minutes. They are,
you know, a distinct type, ai 1 are sup-,
iKscd to have originated by a cross of the
Arabian horse upon the heavy horse of
Normandy. They came from La Perche,
a province about sixty miles square, in
Normandy. Here the breed has attained
its greatest perfection, and it is here that
the horse gets its name. How the Arabia.'.
got into France I do not know, but I snip-
pose it came there either through the Sar
acens when they were whipped by Charles
Martel at Tours, or it may be that the
Counts of Nogent de la Kotrou brought
them back from Palestine during the
Crusades. But there is no doubt that the
Arab blood is there, and in modern times,
after excellence and identity of type hud
been recognized, this blood w;u re-enforced
from time to time from the royal and
national stables of i ranee.
"The horses have been noted for years
in France as good draft horses, and they
were, about ten years ago, in general u:.e
in Paris as omnibus horses. At that time
a team of them would take one of those
heavy 'buses, with seats toth inside e.iid
on the roof and filled with passengers, mid
drag it along at the rate of eight miles xm
hour over the asphalt. During my trip
to Paris last spring I noticed a decided
deterioration in the character of the horses
so used, and I found that the Percherons
tad been replaced by others. Upon
inquiry I was told that the gre;:t demand
for the Percheron horse in America had
risen the price from $o00 to from 100 to
S I, 000, thus making them too expensive
for omnibus use. The horses now used in
Paris omnibuses are the Bctvlonnls, the
Belgians and other heavy horsvs of Nor
mandy and Flanders which have no inlil
t ration of thoroughbred blood.
"As to Percherons, there are millions
of dollars already invested in the United
States, and there is a gentleman named
Dunham who has made a fortune out of
them. He might bo called the Percheron
horse king. He has had as many as 500
Percherons on his farm at one time. His
house on his farm at Wayne, forty miles
from Chicago, is equal to Abbottsford in
its appointments. It is hung with old
tapestrv, and has many studies of Rosa
Bonheur. A great friendship exists be
tween Rosa Bonheur and Mr. Dunham,
and he lately got an Apache pony for her
at her request and shipped it across the
water for use in one of her paintings."
"Tell me something of the characteris
tics of the Percheron horse."
"The horses are generally of a dapple
gray, though they may be black, and noy
and then are bay or chestnut. They nre
a heavy horse, weighing 1,600 pounds and
upward. They have a fine action, a fine
skin, fine coats, great strength and great
endurance for work and travel. They
are noted for their docility and tractable
ness, and may be said to be born broken
to the harness. I harnessed a team of
them for the first time one morning at 8
o'clock. At 9 they were drawing a plow
as well as a well broken team, and were
only a little awkward. They plowed in
the Held all day, only being rested now
and then that their shoulders might not
get sore. The next day my farmer drove
them into the city of Detroit, and though
they had never seen a crowd of people, a a
electric car, a street car or steam car, or
the innumerable objects displayed in a
business city, they showed no fear only
a kind of laudable curiosity. They would
smell of a steam engine, and while I was
blowing up stumps with dynamite this
summer they stood by and watched the
pieces blown up Into the air without more
than raising their eyes at the sound. I
attribute this fact to their remarkable in
telligence, in the first place, and again to
the fact that these horses had never heard
a cross word or been struck."
TREATMENT OF HOUSES.
"What is your theory for the treatment
of horses? How should they be man
aged?" "A horse should be treated just as ycu
would a man or a boy. My carriage
horses fared better at the hands of an old
Englishman, who knew nothing about a
horse, than with any other driver I hae
ever had. When this man asked me how
he should treat them he was told to treat
them just as he did himself, only a little
better. He was methodical in hi3 ways,
and he always fed the horses before ho
fed himself. In warm weather he watered
ihem whenever he got the chance, and in
Tinier three times a day. Inasmuch as
.he horses could not scratch themselves,
he gave them a good brushing every
morning, and it is my rule in driving a
aorse that whenever I feel that I want a
drink myself I also feel that tho horse
may be suffering in the same direction.
"The Percheron horse," Senator Palmer
went on, "has great powers of endurance.
He has a line knee action, and he is so full
of intelligence that men treat him better
than they do a duller horse. He has
good wind and has all the nimbleness and
speed of the English coach horse. Last
year more than $2,000,000 worth of these
horses were imported, and I believe that
they are going to prevail as the American
draft horse."
I paid a visit to Senator Palmer's farm,
near Detroit, last summer. It contains
137 acres, and the Improvements upon it
have cost the senator over 100,000. JHe
has nine miles of drives through its
woods, eighty miles of underdraining,
and a miniature lake which was dug by
hand and which is kept full of water by a
it cam engine. He has a log cabin which
cost $12,000, and his animal hobbies are
Percheron horses, Jersey cows ana juen-
heim spaniels. Ills horses are named .

Trai!4) :&nt!nff a Forest.
Tho count of Monto Cristo was the first
to suggest the practicability of trans-
ilanting full grown forest trees. Ho
las followers now in Indianapolis. A
primeval forest east of tho city is being
removed boughs, trunks, roots and all.
Col. Johnson last summer erected a
dwelling on the open ground near his
garden, this side of Irvington ; the sun's
rays beat down on that house blistering!
aiid the colonel concluded to protect it
with trees. One Bunnell was found who
declared he could transplant an adjacent
forest to the colonel's yard. Tho trees
vary from ten to eighteen inches in
diameter. Bunnell rigged up a stout
wagon, fastening to the hind wheels an
immense lever, forty to fifty feet long,
thick and strong. This was lashed at
one end to tho wagon. Around a tree to
be removed he dug a trench, the radii
being three or four feet. On one side he
dug a twelve inch trench closo to the
tree, and into this trench he backed bis
wagon wheels with the erect lever. Tho
lever theu Btood parallel with the trunk
of the tree, and the two were lashed to
gether, boom fashion. As far up as the
tree trunk was stiff the lever would be
tightly fastened, giving one 6olid, un
yielding leverage. From the top of the
logs thus boomed a rope was run around
a pulley fastened at the surface of the
ground 100 feet or rnoro from the tree.
Teams hitched to the end of the roio
could then with ease uproot tho tree with
a large quantity of earth and roots at
tached. When thus uprooted it would
be on wheels and easily movable, hold
steadily from roots to tip. Tho success
of tho work on the Johnson place has led
to the removal of many largo trees on the
north side. The process is believed to
bo of no harm to the tree's life. How
ever, spring will reveal the isequel. In

Paris' IMcture 3Iarkt.
Never, probably, in tho history of Paris
has the picture market been in so do
pressed a state as it is at this moment.
A few great artists, like Bougiueau,
Meissonicr,- or Benjamin Constant, find
ready purchasers for their work at very
high prices. But the rank and file have
tho greatest difficulty in making both
ends meet. If the import duty on pict
ures for the United States were removed
American amateurs would probably como
forward in increased numbers, but until
then there seems little hoie of any im
provement. As an illustration of the c
i.ting depression may bo mentioned the
result of the sale, after death, cf tho
works belonging to M. Jacquinot, the
artist expert, which has just como to an
end at the Hotel Drout. Two thousand
pictures put up to auction only produced
21,000 francs, or S-10, being an averago
of sixteen sliillings per picture. In some
cases two or three canvases together were
sold for five francs, and not a single work
realized 20. Galignani's Messenger.
Superior to Cremation.
J. G. Meyers, a young inventor of
Washington, has invented a plan which
uo believes to be superior to cremation,
burial, or any other ancient or modern
method of treating the dead bodies. The
'new mausoleum and safe deposit for
the dead" is the name of this new con
trivance. Mr, Meyere' plan may bo re
garded as a compromise between tho two
extremes of interment and cremation. In
a fireproof building spaces will be provided
just large enough to hold a single cofhn.
When a coffin with a dead body is placed
in one of theso the door of the apartment
is hermetically 6ealed. Running from
these apartments are tubes which bring
fur into the dead rooms, and also carry
it downward by a forced draft to a con
tral furnace betow where are consumed
all gases and fluids escaping from the
bodies. Dead bodies treated in this man
ner, will in a short time, it i3 claimed,
become naturally preserved, or dried,
and so remain. Chicago News.

Scaring Off a Train;?.
A little 10-year-old girl in Latrobe, Pa.,
was alone at homo when a vicious look
ing tramp came to tho door and asked for
romething to eat. Although frightened,
the child told him he could not have any
think, as everything had been eaten up.
At this the tramp stepped into the hall,
saying that "he guessed ho would stay
awhile. The quick witted child calmly
said: "Well, we'll see; 111 ask my papa,"
and went into the back room for a minute
as if to speak with him. Returning, she
found that the tramp had stepped outside
again and was standing looking in. She
waited boldly up to the door and said:
"Mv papa savs you can t 6tay and must

61niflis a Lady'u Fc.
Unfortunately the masher la not the
only ma e nuisance in Brooklyn. A dis
tant and much more offensive relative of
his is the unknown ruflian, who, a few
months ago, made his practices, although
not his personality, notorious by mall
ciously soiling expensive gowns with to
bacco juice in the 'neighborhood of Dr,
Talmage's church. A few nights ago an
equally offensive and ruffianly, but much
more practical and dangerous, individual
made his appearance on Fulton street
His victim was a young lady who resides
within easy walking distance of the bridge,
She had crossed from Xew York in a
bridge car between 7 and 8 o'clock in tho
evening aud was walking up Fulton
street alone, not dreaming of insult and
still less of violence on that thoroughfare
at so early an hour. Less than half a
block above Sands street she received a
sharp, stinging slap on the face. She
turned, surprised and frightened, andjsaw
tuat her assailant was a well dressed,
gentlemanly looking fellow. "I beg your
pardon, miss," he said, "it was a mis
take," and he darted off without another
word.
A dozen men witnessed the. assault, but
the only one who took apparent notice of
it confined his attention to the young lady
and not to her assailant. "Oh, that was
a terrible blo, miss; did it hurt you?"
he said. "Yes," replied the still fright
ened and confused girl, and wishing to
nvoid further notice she hurried av ay,
wondering, when she began to collect her
senses, if the man who slapped her face
really mistook her tor an acquaintance,
and, if so, why he chose to greet an ac
quaintance in so startling a rasiiion. hire
learned all about it when she reached
home, for she then discovered that the
fellow had stolen from her ear a valuable
earring. "Did I report the occurrence to
the police?" she said to the Rambler, after
he had heard her story. "Xo, of course I
didn't. That wouldn't bring back my
earring, and besides I don't think you
would find many girls of jour acquaint
ance who would care to see their names in
the newspapers in connection with such
an occurrence. I am glad enough that
notoriety hasn't been added to my fright
and my loss, but I don't think I shall ever
feel safe again when I am out alone after
dark." "Rambler" in Brooklyn Eagle.
The Distance of the Stars.
The distance of the star Alpha Ccntauri
raav be stated in round numbers to be
20,000,000,000,000 of miles. Now, a bil
lion means a million of millions, so that
the distance of Alpha Centanri may be
stated to be twenty millions of millions of
miles. Let us now try to form some con
ception, however imperfect, of the amazing
distance. Let us suppose a railway train
to leave the earth traveling day and night
at the rate of fiftv miles an hour without
stoppages. In six months it would reach
the moon, in 200 years it would reach the
sun and in 0,000 years ii would reach the
planet Neptune, .the orbit of which forms
the extreme known limit of the planetary
system. The same train, however, would
not reach the star Alpha Centanri in less
than 42, 000, 000 years.
One more illustration may be useful.
Comets, in general, revolve in very eccen
tric orbits. When a comet is in the peri
helion of its orbit it is comparatively near
to the earth; on the other hand, when it
is at the aphelion it is remote in many
instances very remote from the earth.
For instance, the celebrated comet of 18o8,
known as Donati's comet, one of the
greatest comets of modern times, at the
time of its passage of the perihelion was
distant from the sun 50,000,000 miles; but
when it has attained the aphelion of its
orbit (which will occur in about 1,000 years
hereafter) its distance from the earth will
not be less than 00,000,000,000 miles. Now
our typical railway train starting from the
earth would not reach the aphelion of the
orbit of Donati's comet m less than 00,
000 years, and yet the aphelion distance
of Donati's comet is only one seven-hun
dredth part of the distance from the earth
to Alpha Centanri, the nearest of the fixed
stars. Good "Words.
Jewish Highlanders In the Caucasus.
The Caucasian Jews are inordinately
fond of green stuff, consuming it in quan
tities that amaze a stranger. In partaking
of food, as in the mode of service, the old
Jewish customs are strictly followed. A
wooden platter (or, if a guest be present,
a handsome copper dish) is placed
upon a carpet on the floor. On this
are set two cakes of unleavened bread
covered with a cloth-woolea on ordin
ary occasions, but of 6ilk on Sabbaths
and festivals. -Salt, onions, garlic and
fruit are ranged round the bread, and all
sit down upon the floor. Tho master
pours water over his two hands,
recites a blessing, then uncovers the
bread, breaks the upper loaf into as many
pieces as there are males present, and
gives each one piece. The pieces are
dipped into salt three times and eaten.
The second loaf is then served in like
fashion and distributed among the fe
males. The mistress of the house brings
in the first dish herself; then, if a stranger
be present, veil3 and withdraws. Every
thing is put on table, or rather on the
floor, at once; and it is customary to take
a little of each dish served. When roast
meats are eaten, a sharpened piece of
wood is employed as an aid to the ringers,
but ordinarily fingers alone are de rigueur.
The highland Jews prepare an excellent
"mountain dew," and drink large quanti
ties of the spirit without seeming to ex
perience any intoxicating effects. St.

Morning 'Walk In the City.
Somebody is always asking why busi
ness men do not more generally walk part
of the way to their business every morn
ing. There are several good reasons why
they do not. First of all, they are apt to
have half a bucket of water thrown on
them by some heedless Jeamcs, who al
ways sets apart 9 a. m., or thereabouts,
as the proper time to wash tha sidewalks.
Then they will probably have to walk,
past three or four lordly gentlemen's gen
tlemen who are engaged in knocking the'
dust out of the familiar door mat by
Striking it against a lamp post. Theso
arc the dangers that menace the morning
walker in the side streets. Nor is he any
better off when he gets to a business av
enue. By a sort of sacred tradition,
about half the shops on such avenues are
violently swept out at exactly the honr
when business men are going down town,
and the only way to escape from the in
tolerable dust is to walk in the middle of
the street. Plainly, New York is not
built for the convenience of business men
who want to walk. New York Tribune.
