ed. A uniform tax of thirty-two cents par

Washington, December 2.—Commissioner
Douglass oonoludes his paragraph regarding the
uniform tobacco tax thus: “My own opinion is
that with the tax at twenty—four cents, taking
into account the natural increase of the revenue
as shown between the collections of succeeding
years, and with the advantage of some legisla
tion hereinafter recommended, we shall be able
to keep the collections on tobaooo np to those
under the present rates. This recommendation,
however, is made without regard to its relation
to future total revenue results. If it should be
the opinion of Congress that the yield of rev
enue from internal taxes should not be mate
rially decreased, then the accomplishment of
the desirable results expected from a consolida
tion of the tax on tobacoo, and to compensate
in part to the revenue the expected large loss
from the expiration of the income tax daring
the current fiscal year, and the farther material
loss from artioles and occupations formerly
taxed, bnt now exempt, a rapidly decreasing
item, of conrsa I would advise a consolidation
if the tobacco tax at thirty-two cents per
pound.”
The Commissioner makes no suggestions re
garding the whisky tax. He urges legislation
for the disposal of damaged tobacco, which will
not realize taxes, and for relief in cases where
stamps are lost from packages by accidents.
The accounts of two hundred and thirty ex-tax
collectors are still unsettled, whereof one hnn
dred and fifteen have been plaeed in the hand3

Tbe latest Nevada Sensation—The
Man who Fails Dead and Revives
Again.
From the Virginia City (Nevada) Enterprise, No
vember 10th.]
A new importation to this city kicked np such
a row about town night before last that the po
lice and many others began to think about half
the peoole in town were dropping down dead in
their tracks. First, a man had dropped down
dead at a house on snch a street, then a man
had fallen down in a djing condition in another
place, and soon it was in another place that a
man “lay dying.” At length it was discovered
that one man was doing all the dying. He had
then died about half a dozen times, andhad been
60 often restored to life that he was almost too
drank to die naturally. He first went into a
house on D street, took a fit, and fell so dead
that with all the stimulants that conld be poured
down his gullet he refused to come to life until
the woman of the honse became half frightoned
out of her wits and blew her whistle for a police
man, when lo! a miracle—the dead man got
upon his pins and ran away. He next went into
another house of the same class iu the same
street and died there, failing headlong to the
floor with such utter abandon a3 to shake the
whole house. The women were terribly frigh
tened ; they poured water on his face, bathed
his head, and as fast as he revived a little, turned
brandy (the only thing besides whisky or gin
that he conld swallow) down his throat. He
went for brandy like a kitten after new milk,
and as soon as be had swallowed all in sight
relapsed in the hope of being revived again wiih
the congenial resuscitator.
Finding that a physician bad been sent for,
he recovered and got out of the honse. When
he next fell dead we do not know, bnt during
the night be went to Scott’s dance-house, on
south C street, and fell dead as a door-nail.
Water outside and brandy inside, with a talk of
bringing in a policeman, set him on his pins,
and he departed. He afterwards went to Evans’
chop-honso, corner of Oand Union streets, and,
going back to tho filter, drew a glass of water,
and while trying to drink it took two or three
steps backward, jumped high in the air, then
came down like a thousand of orick between
the rows of tables, to the great consternation of
the two waiters- There he lay at full length,
his head thrown back, and only the whites of
his eyes visible to all appearances as dead as a
door nail. The boys sopped him and mopped
him with cold water, rubbed his head, and did
all they conld for him, bnt ho was to all appear
ance stone-dead. His face was white, no pulse
could be felt, and his eyes were set in his head
with not a bit of “speculation” in them. Ono
of the waiters was about going for a doctor,
when the dead man suddenly lifted his head and
began laughing. Leaving the dumbfounded
waiters, he stalked away, no doubt to die in
some place where his favorite revivers were
more likely to be found. Those who saw his
performance and assisted in restoring him to
say tbat they would have sworn that he was a
dying, and then a dead man, not believing such
a'piece of acting possible with any hnman being.
He seemed, they say, to have the power of in
stantly stopping the beating of bis pulse, and
of changing the healthfal appearance of his face
to the pallor of death.
CiiU and Honeymoons — A Kketcb
IVhicli is Truthful ami AITecttug.
Tho Titusville Herald, in the course of an
article upon “cats,” indulges in the following
flight cf farcy:
Young and happy married couples, who are
for the first time about to become initiated in
the mysteries of housekeeping, always start in
with one cat; in fact, the wifo usually has one
given to her by some unmarried lady friend on
the eve of housekeeping For a few weeks
“pussy” is ono of the favorite fixtures of tho
fireside, and lounges around in the easy chairs
with a pink ribbon aronnd her neck, and dines
upon the pinions of spring chickens, flavored
with an occasional sip of nectar and beefsteak
gravy, from the lips of her mistress. At night
“John” comes home, and after donning bis
dressing-gown and slippers, (presented by his
wife on the day of their nuptials,) he draws
a chair before the glowing grate and reads aloud
from “Owen Meredith,” while he holds his
wife, and his wife holds the cat. Happy couple,
happy cat, they are both experiencing the most
blissful part of their earthly existence; for
‘John’ will never receive any more dressing-
gowns nor slippers, and instead of gently
smoothing the far npon tabby’s back a month
hence, the chances are that John, npon his ar
rival home, will mark his entrance by kicking
the blasted cat across the room, and if, in the
excels of her feline affeotion, pnssy advances
with proudly arched back, and cjtarrh-iike
purr, to rob against John’s shins* it is not un
likely that a moment later she will find herself
on the top of the stove, or soaring through a
window, if one chances to be open.
As the honeymoon draws to the close of the
first quarter, the peculiarities of the cat shine
forth with renewed Instre. At night John is
awakened by his wifo, who has heard burglars
downstairs. “They aro after our plated ware
that we received at onr wedding,” says she.
John, sleepily, replies that he “wishes to good
ness they would burgle some of the many cheap
butler-knives and salt-knives (hat constituted
the largest portion of the bridal gifts;” never
theless, he seizes a lamp in ono hand, and with
his snowy robe flattering in the midnight air,
seeks tho precints of the kitchen. He hears
footsteps in tho pantry, and throws the crock
ery in that direction; all is still; he most havo
killed the burglar. He approaches the pantry
where the corpse lies, when “Phis t-t t-me
reonw!” and, with a diabolical shriek, some
thing rashes between his nether limbs; he feels
n sharp pain in the calve-:, drops tho light and
falls over into a pan of milk on tho shelf in
front of him.
His wife up stairs has heard theencounter, and
with only ono thought—which is to perish with
her husband—flies shrieking down the stairs.
She stumbles over the body of John, and her
head strikes in a custard pie which rests on the
floor. Thinking it is the bnrglar who has re
turned to finish his bloody work, John revives
sufficiently to chnck a few hard blows into the
prostrate form of the partner of his bosom, who
speaks, aud tbe error is discovered. A match is
struok, the lamp relighted, and theyloik aronnd.
John’s legs look as if he had been blackberrjrag
without pantaloons, wbile his wife has a black
eye and her golden ringlets are reekiDg with cus
tard. Broken china and other crockery strews
the floor, and, instead of gore, he is weltering in
milk. Upon the upper shelves a pie, half devour
ed, and the skeleton of a roast chioken explain
the causes of the trouble.
“It is that cat!” exclaim both.
“Yon must kill her in the morning, John.” ■
“I will, so help me St. Thomas.”
If the morning pussy is found singing quietly
in her accustomed corner. John takes her out
in the wood-shed andknooksher in the head
with the ax; after which he takes his breakfast,
helps to adjust an oyster over his wife’s eye,
and goes to business. At noon, while at dinner,
he feels a familiar sensation against his limbs
beneath the table, and upon examination dis
covers the “dead” oat, living and lively, though
with a countenance somewhat distorted by the
occurrence in the woodshed.
Tbe FIJI Island Caanlfrals—A Set*
tier’* Sterlea.
Noticing the departure from San Franeiaoo
for Levuka of a brig of one hundred tons bur
den, owned by H. ti. Fuller, her Captain, and
8. A. 8t John, two veteran residents of the Fiji
Islands, the Alta says:
“Oapt. Faller is the oldest American settler,
having gone there from Sydney over twenty
years ago. Here he also conveyed his English
wife, and here he has a large family of children
who are truly ‘native and to the manor born.’
Daring their long residence in these far off
isles, the above named enterprising spirits have
been actively engaged in both maritime and ag
ricultural pursuits. They now own adjoining
ootton plantations, which are being successfully
and profitably cultivated. Their craft just about
to sail is to bo employed in this business, nfl
more particularly in transporting laborers and
others from distant groups to Levuka, for no
work can be coaxed or forced from the native
Fijians; who ridicule the idea of one so de
grading himself as to resort to manual
labor. He has his bread-fruit, his single snd
scant garment and his thatched cot, and he
is content Tbe working bees come from Sol
omon’s Island and New Hebrides. The ootton
raised is prononnoed in the Liverpool market
superior to the Sea Island, and the last crop
shipped, amounting to 9,000 bales, commanded
$1 per pound. The soil is a sandy loam, and
clay snb-soil mixed with lava. The native la
borers on the plantations command $20 per
month, and there are some 3,000 of them em
ployed on the islands. Nearly all of the foreign,
era are English. In Levuka there are 700 in
habitants and Methodist, Episcopal and Catho
lic Churohes, besides a native mission. The
religion of the natives is mainly controlled by
pnblio polioy. Their present Chief was for
merly a cannibal. "When converted he had
11,000 followers. The hnman fiesh-eating
chiefs are known as “Batchers.” Cannibalism
still exists to an alarming extent throughout the
interior of Yitelene, an island 90 by 60 miles
in extent. Annual feasts are given to snch
Chiefs as have slain foes in battle and per
formed deeds of daring. At these disgust
ing carnivals the bodies of native boys of
twelve to fourteen years of age only are eaten.
From earliest childhood these subjects are fat
tened for the horrid feast. They are fed wholly
npon fruits and vegetables. When the day of
slaughter rolls round, two front teeth are ex
tracted from the mouth of tho child. These
aro inserted in a club, with which weapon the
mnrderis committed, the teeth being driven
deep into the skull of the helpless victim. The
body is then dissected, the entrails, etc., re
moved, and afterward cut into suitably-sized
steaks. These are rolled up in bread-frait
leaves, pi ced in holes in the earth and baked
for the feast. The native boy is suited to the
palates of the Chiefs only. That of the white
man As considered too salty and smoky, and is
not regarded as toothsome. Captain Faller in
forms a3 that there are over 100,000 cannibals
on the island, and only last August two Scotch
men were captured and eaten by the natives.
There is a prospect of this worse than heathen
ish custom being abolished in time, now that
the entering wedge of civilization i3 forcing
the barbarians to respect the white settle
ments.”
Important Railroad Movement.
It is reported on good authority that a move
ment is nearly completed to result in the estab
lishment of a direct line of railway communi
cation from Louisville and the Ohio river
to the South Atlauiic seaboard, with steam
facilities to Europe. The Louisville and Nash
ville Company and the Nashville and Decatur
Company were sometime sicca consolidated.
The South and North Boad, of Alabama, has
likewise passed under the control of tho same
parties, giving them a direct lice already from
LonisvUle to Montgomery. They are now in
treaty for a lease of the Montgomery and Eu-
fanla and the Brans wick and Albany railroads,
which will give them a direct and commons
line of railway communication to Savannah and
Brunswick by far the shortest and easiest of
from all tho interior towns to the seaboard.
The lessees bave abundant means to build
whatever portion of the connection that is in
complete to make their combination one of the
moat powerful and remunerative railway enter
prises in the country. Tbe leading spirits in
tbe enterprise are men controlling vast capital,
and of wide experience in similar undertakings.
The combination will control, on its comple
tion, more than one tnonsand miles of railway,
a power sufficient to wield important influence
in the material progress of the South.
Tho above information, which we cut from
the Atlanta Constitution, came in briefer shape
by the telegrams in onr last edition. We hope
Clews & Co. may redeem their fortunes by
some such project..
An invaluable remedy for emigrants and per
sons traveling or temporarily visiting malarious
districts, is to be found in Simmons’ Liver Reg
ulator. If taken occasionally it will prevent
(hulls, Fevers, and injurious effeots from change

‘ ‘Truth Usvaiuxo Falsehoop.”—In all theories,
speculations, and practical facts which occupy the
attention and investigations of tho mental faculties,
there is always a true side and a faLe ono. It mat
ters not whelher we troG of phi : OEophy, religion,
politic*, nr Hr* aria vd rcleii-o-*—the lawa of me
chanism, government, or mcdicino—there is still a
false as well as true principle with which lo grapple.
Quicks—and their name is legion—come forward
with I heir glittering generalities and plausible theo-
ri- s with which to lead credulous persons into irre
trievable error.
“Bat tintb, c ashed lo earth, will rise again—
The eternal years of God are beis;
While error, wounded, writhes in pain,
And dies amid her worshipers.”
So has it ever been with those miserable imitators
of Plantation Bitters. They and their vile life-de
stroying, poisonous compounds, havo found that
obhvion which a discriminating public will always
final.y r..rrrd them, wbi'e Plantation Bitters still
comforts ani; restores health to its millious upon
million: o* consumers, which are annually increas
ing.
One of the largest farmers in Iowa report.,
that he has plowed over 200 acres with his Col
lins Steel Plow withont sharpening the share,
wbioh shows now but little wear, and that he
repeatedly plowed eighty rods withont touching
his plow handles.
FHASCIAl AID UMMHCIAL
Winter Wisdom —Warm clothing alone will not
protect the body against tbe consequences of the
sadden d pressian «>f temperature which ia con
comitant of eily win'or. Flannel next the skin
proaerves the animal heat, but it does not impart
animal vigor That property is the special prerog
ative of Eostettor’s Stomach Bitl ors, which is, there
fore, a specific protection against a majority of tho
complaints which are most common at this season
For example, a course of the groat vegetable invig-
orant, commenced now, will be aimost sure to pre
clude chills and ftver, bilious colic, disorders of the
stomach, constipation, and many other complaints
which are often tho direct or indirect effect of an
atmospbore surcharged with co’d, nnwholsomo va
por. Moreover, the system toned' and regulated
by this means is much more likely to Tesiat pulmo
nary disease than it would otherwise be; for the
influence of searching medicine pervades all tho
organs, and every fiber and tissue of the frame.
Persons whoso vital powers are woak, especially in
valid ladies and the aged, are earnestly recommend
ed not to face the winter’s rigor without having ro-
courso to this safe and sufficient means of rein
forcing enfeebled nature. Much suffering may be
oecaped, much danger averted by following this
counsel. Better late than never, is a good proverb,
bnt it is better to bo early than late.
The Butcher the Best Doctor —It is from food
alone that we can expect to derive strength and
health. This stitement may astonish some. We
are accustomed to hear enumerated many other
sources of health and of strength. Medicines, stim
ulants, exercise, sleep, air, all tbeee are spoken of
as conducive to strength and health. Conducive,
nay, to some extent, essential, they may be, but it
is as conditions, not as sources. Food alone is the
source. It strengthens. It also invigorates and for
tifies ; thus both conferring health and warding off
disease. Nay, when unfortunately it haB already
obtained a lodgment, it even assists to throw disease
off. For, indeed, health is simplj putrition. A thor
oughly healthy body, and a thoroughly well nour
ished l ody, are one and the eamo thing. Hence the
importance of food, and hence, also, the impor
tance of an efficient tonic stimulant such as Dr.
Gottlieb Fiseh’s Bitters, which enables us to derive
from food the full meaturo ot nourishment con
tained in it!
