The nib is componed of "patent adamas," a siliceous eubstanoe not liable to corrosion or -oxida I ion; and the result is that the flame is al ways Bteady and the gas thoroughly consumed. Two negro girls, sisters, named Caroline and Susan Brown, 'residing in Cooper county, Mo., qaarrolled ono day last week about who should get the dinner. The matter was decided against Su san's doing BO by Caroline ttrikiug her with an axe, and killing her. Caroline is in jail at Boone villo. Prussian architects appointed by the govern ment are to visit Paris and London, for the pur pose of studying the Chamber of Deputies and the Houses of Parliament, with a view to tho new houses to be built in Berlin on the site of the -royal porcelain manufactory. The estimates are $1, 125,000. Grotesque soarf pins are the "rage" for gentle men abroad. Dandies parade the streets with a iron der fully life-like reapresentation, in enamel, of a human eye, and an inch or two below the ?chin, or, in plaoe thereof, a lighted segar with a . ruby in the head to indicate the Are, or a lucifer match of precious metal closely resembling the Teal artioie. A curious family has just boen established in tho Jardin des Plantes iu Parie. In an iron cago bave been placed a young lioness, an Algerian .wild boar, and a Utile dog. This last is quite the master, the lioness generally amusing herself with teasing the boar. When, however, the lioness ' goes too far, the dog interferes and re-establishes order. The New Orleans Picyune says that the Hon. WM. GWIN, forraorly of California, now confined in prison at Fort Jackson, bolow that city, was offered his liberty the other day if he would give his parole to leave the country and never return, and that he immediately doclined, preferring to remain a prisoner in hin native land rather than to go into banishment elsewhere It is observed that on Fridays the omnibus travel of Parin diminishes in proportion of twenty five per cent-so strong it the superstitious avoid ance of doing anything that can bo helpod on that "unlucky" day. It is also further remarked, that when Friday happens to fall on the 13th of the month, the omnibu-j receipts decrease at the rate of fifty per cent. Killing comes natural in Ireland, for half the places begin with kill. There is Kill boy (for all Irishmen are called boys); and what is still more ungallant, there is Killbride; Killbaron, after ?he andlords; Killbarraok, after the English soldiers; Kiilcrew, for the navy; Killbritain, for the English proprietors; Killcool, for deliberate murder; Kill more, if that's not enough; and last, though not least, Killpatrick. An immense work is at present under way at the entrance of the Paris terminus of the West ern Ballway, in the Bue St. Lazarre. It is an iron roof constructed over tho thijty-one lines of rails which ?tait from that point, and which was for merly called the "Pacede Europe," under which the trains passed through two stone tunnels. The tunnels have been removod, and a road will be const: acted over tifo iron roof. A curious apparatus for propelling balloons through the air has been devised by Mr. BUTI.EB, ono of the members of the Council of the new JErouftutiCskl Sooiety in Loudon. It consists of a pair of wings, operated from the car of the bal loon, whose downward blow is calculated to strike with a force exceeding forty pounds, a power ??quivalent to an ascensive force of one thousand cubic feot of carburettod hydrogen. The action required is somewhat similar to thal of rowing. The stables of the St. Louis Fifth-street Bail road wore burned on Saturday at noon. There were one hundred and seventy head of horses and mules in the eta' Io, only-thirty or which were res cued. Sixteen care and all the harness and forage were also burned. The Aro is supposed to be tho work of an incendiary, and a min has boen ar rested on suspicion. The loss on tho building and stock will reach $50,000, on which there is $20,0>0 insurance.

A Munich lotter, dated April 2, brings the news that on tho afternoon of March 31, WILLIAM BAUER, the renowned engineer, succeeded on the Lake of Starnnorg, io a depth of 36 feet, in transpiorcing, with a 21-poundcr, fired from * submarine gun of his own invention, an iron plate, consisting of two plates, each half an inch thick, together with a timber t argel two feet thick..

MONDAY M GUN I NO, MAY 14, 1866. FIVE CENTS TAX ON COTTON. In our iesue to-day will be found a deeply I interesting report of the New York-?jh.amber of Commerce on the bill imposing a tax of five cents per pound on Cotton, wbich has re cently passed the House of Representatives. The announcement tbat this bill, bad passed the House, and tbo probability that it will pass the Senate, has fallen upon the communi ty like the blast-of a hurricane. Men breathe quickly, and, with set teeth,ask "Whatnext?" The planter of Cotton, in hopelessness*, reads the details of the monstrous imposition, and feels that bia hands are tied ; be cannot raise the article if he would. The poor freedmen, receiving a part of the crop for their labor, having no ability --mentally or pecuniarily to meet the tax-gatherer, will fall helpless into the hands of the greedy speculator ; and the manufacturer,annoyed beyond all measure hy the petty details of the law, will change his business to something less troublesome and less taxed. It is not our purpose just now to discuss the beariogB of this extruor ordinary measure, or its effect upon produc tion in our oountry, but to allude to a result which will grow out of this scheme if car ried into practice according to the plan now before Congress. It is well known to those dealing in Cotton, that a great part of the articlo is put into yarns in England and in France, and sold by the spinners to supply other portions of Europe ; and it has often been a matter of inquiry wby our Cotton was not spun here and exported in that state, in stead of sending out at great cost of freight, insurance, baling, ?to., a quantity of watte equal to 15 per cent, of all Cotton exported. This inquiry has never been satisfactorily an swered. Capitalists have oooaeionally talked of mills for yarn, but nothing bas been done, and the feasibility of supplying Europe with yarn, instead of Cotton, has never been test ed; but Congress, if it passes the bill pro posed, and allows a "drawback" of all duty paid, when manufactured Cotton iseentabroad, will settle the whole case, and will ohange,to a great extent, the manufacturing industry of this oountry and Europe. The immediate ef fect of this tax, with the "drawback," will be to stop the shipment of Cotton, and to con vert our oountry into the great "spinning jin ney" of the world. Was not this the real design of tha planners of this sohome ? and is it not contemplated thus to monopolise the spinning of all the Cotton raised in the South? How can a ManobeBter spinner compete with an Amerioan spinner, both using similar ma ohinery and making the same kind of yarn ? We will suppose that Cotton fal 1B to 25 cento per pound, tax paid. The British and Amer ican spinner buy Cotton at this price-tbo Englishman sends his to England and con verts it into jam ; the Amerioan apina bin also, takes his "drawback" of 5 cents per pound, aud ships bis vam to England. The "drawback" gives bim 25 per cent, profit, less expenses, and enables him to sell at the prico the raw Cotton cost the English spinner. Hut the stupendous results of this eohetne, if successful, oannot be calculated. Millions of foreign capital will be placed in Colton mills in this oountry-the value of the Cotton, by preparation,'will' be nearly doubled-our idle population will be employed-the basis of exchange thuoh enlarged-general trade with Eu.*opo inore-sod-tho supplies from hus bandry wi?l be needed in larger measure-in foot, there can be no estimate of the immense roRultH wbich will follow if this tax and tho I "drawback" on manufactured Cotton booome facts. .But there is another ?side to this picture. Will England quietly bear this groat ohange in cur morcnntilo and manufacturing rela tions? Will she sit quiet while the life blood flows in torrents from her vitals? It romains to be soon, but it is not in the naturo of man to look on with calmnoss when Kieps aro in progress to ruin his interests or to do- i Btroy his property. lu our opinion, tbo passage of this tax bill, as now beforo us, will bo a most damaging blow against the commercial and manufaotur-* ing greatness of England. MORTALITY AMONG THE NEGROES. Seemingly, in corroboration of the state ment of the fearful mortality among freed men since emancipation, which lately was announced by Judge SHARKEY,-of Mississippi, and caused a murmer of surprise to run throughout the North, wo have the figures of the Provost Marshal General of the armies of the United States to show us how destruc tive has been the war amongst enlisted blacks. The testimony thuBhorne Bhows how vastly disproportionate have been the ravages of disease among colored people compared with white people, though the latter were in so much greater degree subject to the rigors of aotivo campaigning and marches. Tbo re port tells us that while 2997 colored soldiers were killed in battle or died of wounds re ceived in action, the enormously largo num ber of 2G,301 were Bwept away by disease ; and in the analysis, the Provost Marshal says, among tbe white troops the proportion of deaths in action and from wounds to the deaths from disease is about as one to two * among tho oolored troops as one to eight. About one hundred and eighty thousand col ored men wore enlisted in the army during the war, of whom accordingly nearly one out of every seven died of disease. The general proportion among whito troopB is ono to fif teen. It may be assumed that where ono col ored soldier died of diteaee, at least five oth ers were seriously sick, BO that a very large proportion of the colored troops must have been constantly upon tho sick list. There need be little surprise, then, at the statement of Judge SHARKEY, in his evidence before the Reconstruction Committee?that "there were now in Mississippi very Ettie over one-half as many frcedmen as itttro formerly were slaves." He said there was no way of esti mating the mortality that prevailed among them ; they died in immense numbers. The mortality among the oolored people of the South, especially along the Mississippi river, during the past five years, is well known. In 1850 there were 4'?0,000 negroeB in Missis sippi, and by Judge SHARKEY'S statement more than 200,000 of them must have died. This statement is deplorable, and indicates how desirable it is that the full relations of peaoe and industry should be re-established in the South as speedily as possible. The moral and physical condition and future pros perity of the blacks will be improved im mensely if the politicians will but withdraw their hands from intermeddiing with the af fairs of both raoeB in this section. Humanity demands that this be done. -- .i? SHALL WE INSULT THEM? "The detestable specimens of debased hu manity who are now attempting to plnnge the country into another sea of blood (says the Mobile Times), are enraged at the Southern people, because, after having laid down their arms in the most unequal contest recorded in history, they now pause, and, looking around them, reverently gather and religiously honor tho remains of their deluded brothers who have fallen in the struggle in which they all participated. Like tbute tyrants who would break open the graves of their enemies, and mutilate their bleeding remains, those mon et?re of ferocity would have us oast before their greedy eyes tSoso sacred remains to feast tbeir rage. But let them know that while the people of the South will yield to none in allegiance and faith to the Constitu tion of tbe country, they will never forget the memories of those who have shared their error-if error it was to seek to carry out the principle of the founders of this Govern ment-and those memories will ever bo held dear to their hearts, and they will transmit to their children and their children's chil dren the deep veneration they feel for the martyrs of a faith-now no more." ... A NATIONAL CONVENTION. A late dispatch from Washington says that "the President contemplates the calling of a National Convention to settle all the issues now pending." This strikes us as a gleam of sunshine-a ray of hope-a splendid idea, in these trying times, when all' the "heady c?r rente" of pol ?ti cal differences of opinion seem to be converging to the one, almost inevita ble, but always unsatisfactory, solution of the sword. Let us have a regularly called and authorizod Convention of all the States, and all these differences may be easily and defi nitely settle?-' President JOHNSON has the power to call such a Convention, and we trust he will use it, as the dispatch seems to fore shadow. We shall have moro to ray on this subjeot hereafter. ?-?-? ? ?
