The New Tax at 111 an l.lqnnra.
We hoar of groat dissatisfaction among
those who deal k Intoxicating liquors, at
the recent law of Georgia, requiring an
additional tax of $25.
Previous to tills year, the Statu derived
no revenue from liquor dealers. 'Hi*
United States Government required a
license, and each county and city was al
lowed to tax them. This city nmj county
taxed dealers la liquors, but tne State not
col veil pone of It. Tho act to raise revenue
for the State for IH6B, did not tax llqtlor
dealers, but did tax tlmso who sold patent
bitters of ail lutoxinutlng character. The
act to raise a revenue for this year, tuxes
all dealers in patent or intoxicating bit
ters twenty-live dollars, the same as last
year, and also provides for a tax upon
dealers in Intoxicating liquors. The a<A
reads as follows;
“Section 17. Upon every dealer In spirit
uous or malt liquors, twenty-live dollars;
but this act Is not to apply to anyone
who sells by the wholesale, spirits manu
factured of apples, peaches, grapes or
other fruits, grown in his own land; pro
vided he sells in quantities of less than
live gallons.”
From this It will he sued that ttie tax for
this year Is increased on all liquor dealers
twenty-live dollars, but those who simply
dual In patent bitters, it remains as it did
last year.
The tax now ou retail liquor dealers
amounts to seventy-live dollars-$45 for
the county, 545 for the Htatc, and $23 for
the Government. In the city, an addi
tional tax Is levied for the privilege of
selling in the corporate limits.
Probably the Increase above noted ac
counts for the rise In lieer.

An Important Law
The Legislature passed an important
law in the interest of statistics and gen
eral information of the State. The act
referred to was approved by the Governor
February 24,1877, and requires the Comp
troller General to require all tax receivers
to intake returns of all lunatics, epileptics
and idiots, and their sex and color, in each
county in the State; aud also of all births
and doaths, ami causes of death.
The matter of reporting births and
doaths was heretofore left to the State
Board of Heuitli, but from some cause or
other it was only half-way attended to.
We hope each Tax Receiver in the State
will bo required to furnish the above
facts. They will furnish a fund of infor
mation to the public, and enable our sec
tion to point to itself for health and vigor.
Besides, the medical fraternity would be
better enabled to study out the causes of
our death rate, atnd devise some means to
alloviate all the suffering.

New York, AprflSfl Among Tlrrjtood
signs of Ibe limes is the extirpation of
most of the socialistic proselyting socie
ties wlticb started just after Fourrier pub
lished bis famous work Among these
were "Modern Times,” of Long Island j
"Strawberry Farms," New Jersey; "Econ
omy,” near Pittsburg ; and several other
institutions, many begun with good in
tentions by conti lerato men; the good
among these societies failed, because ol
the laziness of tb< disciples and the want
of business sense in their projectors. But
several still more Utopian organizations
started into life after the ruin ot these pha
ln*W*ries. Among these was the Pan
tareby, started by Stephen Pearl Andrews,
a voluptuous old visionary. His theory
was a reconstruction of all languages ou
the basis of one, so that the Zealander
and the Scotchman could understand
each other's brogue with only one diction
ary. Devising so much good for the
world, Andrews did not hesitate to say
that he ought to be supported while at
work. lie therefore took a house, and
forseveral years was maintained in com
parative ease by a company of hard
working zealots and obliging dnmes, who
labored at various practical things all day
ami then came homo at night to make
the wonderful dictionary. Ol course they
did not get very far bevomj the alphabet,
hut Andrews, Albert Brisbane and ohl
Henry ( Inpp dissemlhated TOiirriCrk
Treatise, and also gave much encourage
ment to short band writing in its infan
cy. At one time they had considerable
influent e over Horace Greeley, Clias. A.
Dana and other a;n slates from the cause
of mystic illumination. Brisbane cul
minated by getting a $i),0ol) appropria
tion from Congress to lay a pneumatic
tube between the Capitol and the printing
office .jwhicli Calved in about the time it
was finished, and has never been resusci
tated. Brisbane then lo >k bis seventh or
eight wile, ami shook the dust of the city
from his fuel. Old Mr. Andrews was
about played out when Woodhull and
Claflin arrived ia New York, and he be
came an inhabitant of their bouse, and
looked upon tbe Beecher trial us his
great opportunity to shake the pillars oi
the mi rr.age relation. He and Mrs.
Woodhull seriously believed t hat they
could lorce Henry Ward Beecher to take
up their burden and denounce the mar
riage relation from his pulpit, and instant
ly, it not sooner, revolutionize society.
Then, with no society and only one dic
tionary, mankind would be pefectly hap
py, or at least that ixirtion of it repre
sented by Andrews. It is noticeable that
ever aiuce the prosecution of Beecher
there has been atighlening of the orthodox
social system all over the country. The
whole crowd of people who thought that
man ought to go wild were forced to the
front, aud showed out so badly that they
have nearly ail been married since, in
sell-defence. Last week the Liberal Club,
iu New York, burst into two hemispheres,
and there are plenty of rooms to let in all
the Slate Lunatic Assyluiu. Hard times
are very productive ol sanity.
The Man wlio Stops His Paper.
Philip Gilbert Hainorton, in his
admirable papers ou "Intellectual
Life," thus talks to the man who
"stopped his paper:” “Newspapers
are to tbe civilized world what the
daily house talk is to the members
of the family—they keep our daily
iuterest lu each othSr, they save tis
from the evils of isolation. To live
as a member of the great white race
that has tilled Europe and America,
and coloDized or conquered whatever
territory it has been pleased to oc
cupy ; to share from day to day its
thoughts, its cares, its inspirations,
it is necessary that, every mau should
read his paper. Why are the French
peasants so bewildered and at sea?
It is because they never read a news
paper. Aud why are the inhabitants
of thq United Slates, though scat
tered over a territory fourteen times
the area of France, so much more
capable of concerted action, so much
more alive and modern, so much
more interested in new discoveries of
all kinds, and capable of selecting
and utilizing the best of them? It is
because the newspapers penetrate
everywhere, and even the lonely
dwelier on the praiiie or in the forest
is not intellectually isolated from the
great currents of public life which
flow through the telegraph and
press."
■ •
To All, Particularly Invalid*,
spring is a trying season. Indications of
sickness should at once be attended to.
Fatal diseases may be caused by allowing
the bowels to become constipated and the
system to remain in a disordered condi
tion, uuttl the disorder liustime to devel
op itself. All ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure, is an old and truthful
saying. Therefore, we advise ail who are
troubled with the com plaints now very
prevalent—headache, indigestion, disor
dered liver, want of appetite, nausea, or
feverish skin, to take, without delay,
Schenck’s Mandrake Pills. We know of
no remedy so harmless and decisive in its
action. It at ouoe strikes at the root ol
the disease and produces a healthy tone
to the system. People never need suffer
from any disease arising from a disor
dered condition of the liver if they would
take this excellent medicine when they
feel the first indications of the malady.
Families leaving home for the summer
months should lake three or four boxes of
these pills with them. They have an
almost instantaneous effect. They will
relieve the patient of headache in one or
two hours, and will rapidly cleanse the
liver of surrounding bile, and will effect
ually prevent a bilious attack. They are
sold by all druggists. myl eodlm
