The petitioners claim that the tax paid under the net or September, 180$, aud Hint paid under Henel al Orders 139, arc upon the same articles, ami that therefore they have been double taxed, la making this claim they overlook, In my judg? ment, a very evident distinction; tito lax paid under General (miers 130 was upon thc value ol their sales; while that paid under thc uctofisei was tipou the average value or the stock after-de? ducting Hit sale. It docs not appear that the petitioners have be.-n. iu a legal sense of thc term, "double taxed." nie military government or the State round ll ncccsaary to raise a certaiu amount or nioner, and because it was thought those tutcrests were best able to bear tt, as well as ror the convenience or collecting ll, a special quarterly tax was laid upon merchants' sales, railroad companies, and express mid telegraphic companies, lu my opinion, there can lie no doubt us lo the right ol the government to collect that tax which was Iniil ror thc llscal year 1807, or that thc present gov? ernment hud the right to levy mid collect a ttU ott thc same business tor thc liscsl year 18SS That the tax to wkich the merchants have been rnhjected may have been Inequitably laid upo* them, ns compared with other classes of citizens, ts another ami dur?rent question.

And bow much fresher Hie air smells lifter this purification: Every sireel in Paris undergoes il once a day. Suppose thal the morning ls bright, and In your saunier you would like to sit; everywhere are beuches, on which you may re.sl as long as you please.

When reptiles arc needed, you mark how they arc done nt once, and how a hea? vy roller makes the newly laid portions Instantly compact and smooth. You notice thc watering not a deluge from a reckless earl, but a light lind frequent moistening with spray from a ilexible tube. A shower comes on ?ind passel over; In? stantly machines with diagonal revolving brushes perambulates the streets and sweep into the drains thc excess of wet. You wish to take an omnibus to a distant part of thc city ; you enter one. and ask thc conductor for 11 correspondence tick? et, cost 1 '-jd, which entitles you to complete your Journey by a cross Hue. When you have to wnlt for au omnibus, you have a coraron able room pro? vided; and when your proper vehicle draws sp, you have no need to hustle aud scramble for a seat, for you arc passed In according to thc num? ber upon your correspondence ticket.

When by accumula? tion they aro ankle-deep in mud great enrts go sound, Into which men spoon nie liquid mire with shovels, indifferent io thc chances of be? spattering thc passers-by. When tho rain ceases and the streets are dry there ls everywhere-on the pavement, oil the curbstone, on the lump posts or railings-a cake of brown dirt, which, by iraillc, is reduced to a lino dust, that per? vades the air mid carries fever spores Into tho lungs.
