Junot Wrut, of Washington City, has bad
a streak of lurk, recently, which illustrates how
a mtn who owns a little real estate in or about
a growing olty ia liable to wake np some morn
ing end find himself wealthy. Soma years ago,
tbe judge was compelled to take an undirided
half of a tract of 00 acre* of land la the vtoln-
Ityof Ohiosgs, for* debt. It cast bim then
about $7 000, and after the fire be bought tbe
otber half at tbs earns rate, making tbs east of
tbe wbo'e tract $14,090. Tbe property is situ
ated la tbe newly laid on: boulevard* of tbe
aity, and Jaigs Wylie’* agent inform* him that
be cm salt tba land any tim* for $3,000 an acre,
or $103,000 for the whole. Taat would bo a fair
prolt, oartainly, bat tba jo tga thinks be will
wait a bit and ha m ly gst more.
It ia reoorded that tba wlraa and daughters
of tbs ooal-miners who appeared at a recent
fate ia Ltemiugton were “draeacd in expen
sive atnff*, and not nafreqnantly in bine silks
of tba fashionable tint*," with costly Isoe ruf
fian and all tba rest of tbe “fixlna.” Tbo re
porter for an English paper who tells thi&ztory,
quietly obaarvee, in addition: “Tbe prefils of
oar bouse coal at two guineas a ten enable the
minrr to place in tbe band* of bis wife and
lighten ooetly parasols, and to cdorn their
eada with bat* and bonnet* so decorated with
teeming fruits and flowers that It ia a wonder
tbe bird* and bee: do not assail them.’’ There
will be another strike presently ia tbe coil

Hnppreaalng the Slave Trade.
There’s nothing like suppressing tbe slave
trade. Tbe recent movements of the British
Government, whereby this cruel traffic in Eiat
era Africa has been pat down, btTe been her
alded with ebonts and sccliims from all Christ
cntlozn. Tha “horrors of the middle passage"
are at length done away, and the philanthropic
breathe more freely. Bat a low whisper comes
from Africa. To be sold into alavery to mors
civilized people was, after all, the Tery brat dis
position awaiting Africin captives in war; and,
In nino coses oat cf ten, doubtless, it eras a via!
improvement on the savagery and sottiabnes*
of native barbsrlsm at all times. To talk abont
cruUtir.j a people, whose beads were always at
the disposal of natiro chiefs, and were often
taken off by scores for private amusement be
fore breakf eet, h ea in i t some*.hi op ern ally j oeoie.
Any chsnge was bound to be for tbo bolter.
Tbe aemi'barbario master in Eastern Asia was
an angel of light oompired with a brutal and
murderous alavery to tba native chief. So we
may be sura tbe sUvo-tnda, in Its worst estate,
mneh more freqaently bettered than impaired
the original condition of tbo native Africa!.
Bat the** very attractive people hove many
ways of disposing of their esptivej besides Bell
ing them to tha Aslatio alive trader. They
hold them in alavery at home, which is not only
an Inconoelvnbly hard lot, but a vary nacortatn
tenure, terminating most often in those deadly
frock* of tbelr masters which cost a whole
throat or a bead; and very freqaently in fur
nishing baked meats for a festal table. Tko
suppression of tbeslsvo trade in Eastern Africa,
fob a time, at least, will therefore open tha mar-
ket for cooked African* Instead cf BelliDg them
alive and raw. Wo suppose tt can’t be helped.
It will not do to interfere with internal policy
and nodal niages of tboes interesting people,
bnt no donbt many an Afriosn osptive has la
mented a change which consigns him to the
baking oven instead of the slave mirt.
City License List.
We reprint to day, npon tbe order of tbe olty
government, tbe list of license payments wbiob
appeared in tbe GonnoII proceedings published
laat Sunday. Tax payers sometimes complain
that injustice is done them in the assessment
and collection of these license taxes—that they
pay too mneh, while some escape altogether,
or with an inadequate tax. Now tbs use of
this publication Is to place tho entire matter
before ell tbe tax-pay-rs—that every ono may
sec what be pays and what bis neighbor pays—
who pay, end wbo don't pay—if there be any
who hove been omitted. Tbo oity government
want to equalize taxation—to mako every man
boar bla proper burden—no lees and no more.
Now perhaps a more effloaoloas provision to se-
onrs th!* ond cannot bo desired than a publi
cation of lax lists, in order that every tax-payer
mty aorntinize It and compare ipe assessments
and oollections, and the whole intelligence of
tho city bo brought to tha business of review
ing and examining tbe tex payments. The city
administration desire this to be done, and will
tike It as a favor, In any one, to polDt ont omis
alons or any cases of inadequate taxation, so
that these faults may be oorrecied.

Wkathxb Kitouts by Teltobaph —Oor re-
ports by telegraph to night, ssys tbe Chron
icle, are in some sections lea* farorable. Tbe
oonlinaed dump, wet weather, so suitable to tbe
development of tbe caterpillar eoonrge. Is pro
ducing i's natnral result in tho multiplication
of these little destructives, and the oonseqnence
damage to the crop. As yet tbe evil done is
limited, and If we can have dry weather its
progress will, we think, b« stayed; bnt these
constant showers are cot favorable, and give
strength to tbe tears which are felt. It abonld
be remembered, however, that neither tbe
storms nor tbe oateroiltars are nniversal; they
are in great part onnfioed to tbe lower half or
twotbtrds of the Golf and Atlantlo States; in
tbe balnnoe of the cotton belt the reports oon-
tlnno satisfactory. At New Orleans it has
rained on two days—severe tbnnder storms. At
Mobile it ba* rained on every day bnt one. and
tbo complaint ia general of too mnob rain ; onr
telegram states that oaterpillars are reported
everywhere, and groat injury is undoubtedly
holng done In some seotions, bnt tbe aooonnts
are cor Hiding an to tbe extent of the damage.
It has only rained nn two days at Montgomery,
and three days nt Selma and Maoon, while at
Columbns It ba* rained on fonr days. Onr
Colnmbns, Montgomery and Selma telegram*
nil state that considerable damage has been and
being done by oMerpilUrs. At Savannah it
ha* been warm, snliry and wet; and at Angusta
tt baa rained on two days, bnt the weather now
more favorable. Oar Charleston telegram
says that they bad rain on more than bait tbe
days of the week, bnt a* tbo week close* there
has been a favorable change; the oaterpillars
are said to have damaged considerably the Sea
Island cotton. Oar weather report from Mem-
cbis ba* failed to reaoh n*. At Nashville it ba*
been cold and dry alt tbe week, and tbe crop is
developing oromi*iDglv. Tbe thermometer has
averaged S2 at Seims, 85 at Montgomery, 79 at
Maoon, S3 at Mobile, S3 at Columbus, and SO
Savannah.
Tho New York market, during the week, was
irregular and prices weak, dosing a little firmer
on noconut of oaterpillar apprehensions.
