IT has been suggested that the English system of collecting taxes ought to be introduced into Ameriean cities. In stead of paying the year's taxes in a lump sum, they are received in quarterly instalments, thus relieving the taxpayer and preventing the vast accumulations of money, which render the office of city treasurer one beset with temptations nnd at the same time a fortune to the incumbent.
THE undertakers of Troy, N. Y., have agreed to prepare a black list, which shall contain the names of those who are in arrears for funeral expenses. The undertakers assert that there is an overweening disposition on the part of a great many people to make ostentatious displays at the funerals of their friends and relatives, to which they (the under takers) make no objection except that they are not willing to be saddled with the cost, as has been too freqnently the case.
THE final abandonment of the Ander son Sohool of Natural History, on Penikerne Island will cause a general feeling of regret that all thriving labors of the great Agasnia, in this regard, should be thns swept away.

THE season for Indian meal diet is at hand, and as times are hard and economy supposed to be the order of the day, ws know of no article of food that so strongly commends itself to the public bvor. The nutritions qualities of Indian meal are too well known to need comment, and the wonder Is that it is not more generally used, especially for children. It is superior to wheat in point of nutrivenosa, and is cheaper and more easily prepared for the table.

MB. JOHN DAVIS, of Boston, the leoturer of the National Council of the "Sovereign of Industry," baa been giving free pnblio lectures in Cincinnati, this week, on the principles and pnrpoeea of the said order. He states that there are at present more than five hundred local Councils In the country, and eleven State Councils, and that the savings to the members already amount to hundreds of thousands of dollara. It Is the purpose of the Sovereigns of Industry to promote oo-operative efforts and a system of organised economies among the working men and women of this country by means similar to those employed in certain parts of Europe. Tho
Rochdale, England, co-operative society is takon as a model. It was founded in 1843 by some flannel weavers who had vainly applied for an increase of wages. Instead of striking, they studied how to improve their condition. Twelve of them agreed to contribute toward a common fund six cents a week each. In 1844 they opened a store for the sale of provisions and clothing, to be oondiyjted on the plan of dividing the profits among tho purchasers, and celling goods at full weight, and free from adulteration. They gradually added various departments to the original establishment, until now their to res cover the whole range oi personal and domestic wants. Their next project was the building and purchasing of houses for members of the society, and they now own and let 120 cottages. The success of tho Rochdale association encouraged others to found similar societies, and nearly every manufacturing town In England has its cooperative club of workingtnen. So far the attempts at cooperation In the United States have been comparatively unsuccessful. But It is the only practical solution of the labor question. When workingmen own the mills in which they toil, and know just how much wages the earnings will permit them to pay themselves, and also know that the profits of their labor are not used for tho building up of an unrepublican and aristocratic class, then, Indeed, strikes and labor quarrels will be few and far between. Such a system Is possible, and should succeed hero if anywhere. 5r* »i
THERE is in Philadelphia a Fuel Savings Society managed by a number of philanthropic citizens purely for the benefit of the poorer classes. As we understand its workings, those who desire to avail themselves of its benefits pay small instalments during the year, which, when the winter sets in, aro applied by the society to the purchase of coal, which is furnished to their depositors at its cost at the mines with transportation added. The saving thus effected is very great. In the large cities a groat many poor persons are from necessity compelled to purchase coal by the bucketful. A careful calculation has proven that they pay fully three times as much for their coal as those who buy it by the ton. We should be glad to hear of other societies—one, for Instance, in this city—patterned after this one In Philadelphia. Coal might yet bo bought hore, by the car load at eight cents per bushel. In all human probability it will retail as high as twenty oenta before the winter is over. Now here is a chance for practical philanthropy.
THERE aro subjects of overshadowing importance, the study of which wo sometimes find so distasteful, that nothing but the direst necessity will Induce us to take them up yet, when once we have taken them up, and learned to estimate them at their true value, thoy become a source of pleasure as woll as profit. It isn't at all an agreeable thing to the majority of people to sit down, calmly figure up the expenses of living, and finding them greater than the income will justify, reeolve to reduce them by retrenchment and economy. Yet in tbeee times, It Is a thing that many of us should do. And there la a satisfaction in it. Alter a calm and thoughtful survey of the situation, oonvictlon is forced upon the mind. Necessity urges her plea. It 1s admitted. Retrenchment and economy follow, and then oomes in tho wonder why such household reform should ever have been considered an unpleasant duty.

It came in the form of a certified check, amounting to $600,435.M, being the proceeds of the Watson estate In the Tweodsnlto. If the reports of Tweed's present poverty be correct the State will get but little from him, however much he may f«*l inclined to diagorse his ill-gotten plunder. His family, onoe living In extraordinary splendor, fa said to be reduced now almost to actual want. Tweed's wife, true to her woman nature, dings with unfaltering devotion to her husband's unhappy fortunes, being resolved never todeaert him while life gives her the opportunity of laboring for his release.

THE New York Sun in correcting the statement In the*Cincinnati Commercial that the attendanoe upon the Moo-dy-Sankey meetings waa on the deoliae says: "There has at no time been any decline, though the outaide crowd baa been greater on some occasions than on others. In fed, the Interest seems to be greater than ever, and deeper. The three meetings at the Rink laat Sunday —the morning service for everybody, the afternoon service for women, and the evening servioe for noon verted sinners—were marvelous in their magnl tude and earnestness. It has now been determined to bold four meetings every day, for the aooommodation qf the multitudes. We know of nothing like this In the history of sny previous religious revival in this country or in any other."
THE managers of Georgia State Agricultural Fair must be more than ordinarily pious.

Incidentals.
MMICIMPROVBMKM.
People In this town, at least as regards tbe majority, soem to be very abortsighted aa to the expenses entailed by street improvements. That is, though they seem very anxious to escape such expense entirely, they pursue a course which necessitates tbe very expenditures tbey try to avoid. 1 will explain my meaning by an example: Smith, Snooks and Stubba own property on tbe east stide of Bumblebee street. Brown, Brook* and Bobson own property on the west side. Tbe first named get together and say to each other, "Here neighbors, notice what bod sidewalks we are keeping. We must dos little filling and Unrolling, right away not that we care so much for the mud, but because thif street committee are liable to swoop down upon us very suddenly and order pavements, for which we are not Just now prepared." Accordingly, each of tbe three spends half an hour after business boors exercising with above! and barrow, while their hired men are engaged hauling a tew loads of cinders from the nearest steam engine. Tbe moult Is a passable sidewalk, that baa cost next to nothing, and over which tbe street committee will walk two years to come without a thought of pavements.
On the other side Is different.
Brown has a perennial gooae-pond on his sidewalk Brooke haa a series of lit* tie mountains alternating with pit-fells, on his, while Bo boon's sidewalk la diversified by a series of gullies and seams, or which even the boys disdain to lay a marblo. In oourse of time people begin to think, after years of stumbling and wading past this locality, that something better is possible. The newspapers have occasional ltema reminding of the bad sidewalks on the west side of Bumblebee street. But the owners named say they "can't stand it, that tlmee are too hard, and gravel coats too much." Yet they are very much surprised when the city council euddenly orders paving. A great complaint Is sent op, and a remonstrance appears signed by Brown, Brooks and Bobson, wherein tbey are unable to understand why tbey should be made to pave, when Smith, Snooks and Stubbs, on the other side, are exempted.
Such is the case in other improvements beaidee sidewalks. Only reoently the council ordered the grading of a whole street, to get rid of a very bad pond in one plaoe In that street. They oould do no other way without expense to the city.
Property owners on That Alley made all the romonstranco possible against paving, and those on the alley west of Fifth and south of Main are doing the same, saying there is plenty of good gravel there if it were not for the dirt But if the street commissioners were to attempt cleaning all the bad streets and alleys In town he would require a regiment of laborers.
THE SPIRITS.
WHAT THEY ARE DOING AT PENCE'S HALL.
A Ilair-liaising Story that ta Told of a Ghostly Lock qf Hair.
'[From the St. Louts Globe-Democrat.] TEHRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct. 27.—If the reader will imagine himself with me in tho scance room, I will try to make him seo just what I saw—not during all the seiancos I have attended here, but it a single one. Thore stands the cabinet, a plain, simple thing, made of thin walnut boards. Tho folding doors are finng wide open the light shines into every part of it, leaving not the sign of a shadow in any nook or corner. Look al) around, behind, and underneath it nothing can you find to awaken suspicion in tne most suspicious mind. It is 7 o'clock in the evening. Here comes tbe little woman, carrying about her no indications of the wondrous power she possesses. Plainly, yet neatly dressed is she, modest, and unassuming greets you with a sweet smile, and take hand with cordiality converses a little with her friends passes on to the cab' inet enters and closes tho door after her.
The light is turned down, but not so for as to make it possible lor any confederate to enter the cabinet without be ing seen. Now we listen awhile to tbe tinkling sounds of a music box which our accommodating friend, Dr. Pence, has just brought in. By and by one wing of the cabinet door slowly opens, and out steps a slight, but beautiful figtire, robed in pure white garments, looking a girl of about seventeen not quite so tall as tbe medium, but with step more elastic. Pausing an instant near the threshold, she says, "Goodevening!" In the softest imagionablo tones then turning round, throws open the other wing or the cabinet door, showing us the medium sitting in a chair, apparently asleep, and deadly pale. At this a stranger wnispors me,
r,May
not the fig
ure in the chair be made up, and consist of something other than flesh and' blood, while tbe creature in white is really tbe medium playing ghost?"
Did some invisible ear, as well as my own, catch this whisper of suspicion? Immediately tbe chair in which tbe medium sat entranced oommenced rocking, and tho unconscious occupant thereof, lifting her arm, waved a white handkerchief. But all this felled to satisfy the skeptic. "Ah, the thing is a machine," said he, "moved bv wlros." These words, though uttered In
b:
igh utt
dertone, foil not unneard by the apparition moving before us. Going at once to the medium, the figure In white raised her to her feet, brought her out of the cabinet, and stood side by side with her. Having thus swept away dark suspicion, the apparition returned into the cabinet with the medium and cloeed tbe door. Very soon a tall figure, In male attire, came out of tbe cabinet.
(ooking
gracefully bowing to tbe circle, ana the full orbed man. Fixing bis gaee steadily upon a lady who sat next me, he whispered a few words, but so foeblv our dull ears caught them not. The lady at once claimed hi in for her husband, and be bowed, as if to confirm the claim. Rising, tho lady offered tbe apparition her hand advancing a pace, be sought to grasp it, but failed, being suddenly pulled back by some invisible force.
Now, returning to the cabinet, tbe apparition closed (be door and rctnainod about two miautes in tbe dark, as if to gain new strength, then came out again and by what seemed a painful, but determined effort, made his way to tbe lady already mentioned, and took her band in his with a whispered "God bless you!" Several other Agurea. variously attired, and differing greatly in aise and stature, came out one after another during the seanoe.
Finally tbe figure In white came out again. I requested ber to give us tbe beat
Eil
roof she oould that she waa not a morlike ouraelvea. After expressing a willingneastotry, she called for a pair of aclsaor*, which, being turnlabed, she banded to me then kneeling down before mo, requested that I should cot a of hair fro lock her bead. I compiled, clipping quite a largo lock from ber crown. The trees was paased round tbe circle, aa all were curious to feel of it. The apparition then taking the hair Into ber own hands, laid It upon a white handkerchief dose by me, and folded It carefully therein then rising, she went Into the cabinet and shut tbe door. Dtrecily tbe kerchief deliberately unfolded itself, and tbe hair straightway appeared to act like a thing oflife, rolling over and moving about with a strange activity. After a little while it lespod off on the carpet, and began traveling toward the cnoinet. While, it was proceeding In that direction, the apparation opening the door, came out, and stood motkmiMM, while the lock of hair leaped upon her white skirt and climbed slowly to ber shoulder, and then sprang to ber crown, seeming to featen itself to tbe very spot from which I bad dipped It, ISAAC Knsoi
