IN EIJUITY.
Argued March 18, 1875.
Gohdon :
The Locust Mountain Coal company in
its hill, in this case, cets forth inter alit, that
it is the owner' of largo tracts of coal lands
in Coiiyngliam tonnship, Columbia county,
upon which, for school purposes, lor tho
yenr IS!, tlie nppellants illegally levied n
tux ofthirt -n mills up m each dollar nf the
vulu.ili 1 1 1 1 1 -roiif, whereas by tho net of As
siMii'ily tlicy have authority to levy
nil iitiio i t ,iol j;roiter' than that which the
law nutii iri.s to bo levied for comity pur
pnes, to wit, leu mills. Tho Court below
ndopted this view of tho case mid granted n
preliminary injunction to restrain the collec
tion of the excess of said taxes over ten
mills A careful examination of the act of
1SI compel tts to dissent from this conclu
sion. Sjctioii 1') of that act requires the County
Commissioners to furnish tho President and
.Secretary of the Sihord Kurd, "with a cor
rect copy of tlio hist tidjuted valuation of
proper subjects and things mado taxable in
the same, for .State nnd County purposes,
which said property, subjects nnd tilings are
hereby m.nb t.txjblo for school purposes,
acoording to tho provisions of this net.
This section furnishes to tho Hoard of Di
rector! it schedule of those objects upon
which they may assess their lax. Now it
matters not that certain articles found in
tlieso assessment lists aro taxable only for
State and others only fur County purposes,
because a'l are made taxable for school pur
poses, without distinction.
The net refers in general terms to subjects
taxable for State and County purposes, in
order that the valuations may be uniform.
and that those made for the Jointly Com
missioners become valuations for the school
nsse-sinciits: uniformity is thus obtained nnd
expense avoided. Nevertheless those school
asscss-nents are none the less separate ami
independent because ba.-ed on tlie county
and State valuations.
Let us select for example three subjects,
pleasure carriages, lands and hor-es, the first
liable only to State, the second only to coun
ty taxes, and the third to both State and
county taxes. All, however, are subjective
to school levies, nnd for such purposes they
form ii separate and independent schedule,
and the school ollk-er is not bound to know
lor which of tlie above named purposes they
are taxablo It is enough that they are tax
able for cither. Then, having the schedule,
the next inquiry is what amount may be
levied thereon? The !ilst section of tlie
act of 1S-)I luiuii'.ies tlie answer, "The
Hoard of Directors sh.V.l proceed
to lew and apportion said school tux, pui
stiant to this act, not exceeding the amount
of State and County tax authorised by law,
on all objects made or
to lie ma i.- taxable lor Mate or County put,

c',aite be iiuup.-iiia'ctiguciejj.if '.Vq
,.r read VL
them tli"s:-lj!TOeWoV.and "P
portion sai. Vfttoaxo'iiali objects
. gSBiiaior'to be made taxable
urtl
for State or cotimy purposes, not exceeding
the amount of State and County tax author
ised by law."
We can hardly conceive of anything more
delinite.than this language. TheSchool Di
rector says 1 have how a lawful list of the
subjects which I may tax, now what is tho
amount I may levy ? Answer An amount
not exceeding tlio amount, that is, the ag
gregate, the sum total of tlio State and i. e.,
added to, (for this conjutict'on implies ad
dition) tho county tax. We are therefore
lo take the amount of the county tax au
thorised by law at the time when the school
tax is assessed, now ten inilN, and add there
to the amount of the State tax, in like man
lier mithori-cil tit tlio time of said assessment
now three mills, and this sum gives us tlie
maximum rate for the school assessment.
According to tho construction contended for
by the Appellee, the ubovo rule would ap
ply only to articles taxable for both State
and rninity pmpoaes, while another must be
adopted fortlin.se taxable only for county,
and a ihiul fur m.c'.i as uie taxablo only lor
Stale purposes. Thus tho tax on horses
mint be thii'leen mil!-, upon lauds ten, and
upon watches mid pleasure carriages three
mills. The objection to this coiistiui-tion is,
that it destroys both the uniformity mid sim
plicity of u tax sy-tem in which lo !i tlie-e
delimits are important, and worse than all,
it does not properly express tho Legislative
will. A'.Min, if our construction of this en
actment bo not correct, how shall we inter
pret the fith Sec. uf the Act of April 11th,
ISiiJ Pil. L 17.', which reads in this u i-e:
"The school tax on all watches and pleasure
carriages shall be at the same rate on the ad
justed valuation thereof, as upon other prop
city tii.siibk- by tnte, in the proper (School)
Dlstiict." Now adopt the aile claimed by
the cotuisil for the piaiiititfas tho tine one,
and wo may well ask what rat", and what
"'other property" aru hero meant ? Shall
we levy three, ten or thliteeii mills? I'or
according to hi i exposition, tlio "other prop
erty" is taxable at all these rates. Clearly
the Leglslattue of ISO'.', understood as wo
do, that tho net of lS'il, uilthorUcd but one
uniform rate of assessment on nil properly
made subject to school tax, and, with that
ituikretaiidlng, its enactment is free from
ob-ctirily and within tho comprehension of
tho most ordinary nilnd. Wo nro theieforo
tha more confitiucd in tho adoption of this
exposition because it accords with Legisla
thoiiitcrpretalion and because it exhibits n
cohcicnt, simple and uniform system.
Tho deen oof tin Court below is therefore

tho pieliinliiury injunction is dissolved and

The waters hold t!io Island of Cuba In their
arms like a sweet, patient mother caressing
her peevish, noisy child. The waves softly
point their lips to kiss tenderly the beach,
downy with rich tropical grasses, and the
fatherly heart of tho gentle breeze quivers
with delight nt the charming eccne.
Our boat is gliding through a forest of
masts, for Havana's port ' is, next to New
York, the most frequented in tho New World,
Wo turn our heaiU and take a full view of
tho city and its surrounding. To tlie left
wo have the Morro Cnstlo wllh its frowning
battlements, and further on appear tho white
wails on tho abrupt hills of the Cabanas for
tilie.itiotis. To the right, on tho extremcst
point, is tlio fort of LPitnta; then lire seen
the bay-side walls of the city, and the roofs
of the houses leaning against numerous
towers of churches. Tlio whole presents as
quaint a picture as a print on a Chinese palm
leaf fan. The buildings arc colored white,
blue ond yellow, and roofed with red tiles.
Straight lines of long rows of green trees
planted on tho ;uco, or avenues, stretch
from the quays far away into the distance,
connect the inland suburbs and neighboring
villages witli the bay and run through the
vast mass of architectural incongruities as if
thoy were making the attempt to ghe it an
element of symmetry and order.
The Morro and L.i Punta command tho
bay. Philip II. hud little idea that these
forts which he ordered to be erected would
be the means of raising the little town of
llavaunnto tho eighth commercial city of
the world. His purpose was to protect it
from Drake and others who came from Eng
land to raid upon the Spanish possessions
and to intiiuidatotlio audacious filibusters
and pirates who considered it a convenient
place to supply theinelves with wives and
provisions.
The fort known as L i l-'uerza has been
built' long ago by Hernando de Soto to resist
the attempts ol these buccaneers, but it was
not formidable enough. One line day in
Iti jj, the celebrated pirate Jacob Sores be
lcagured the fortte.-s, and in three days com
pelled the commander to surrender. The
outlaws penetrate 1 thereupon into tlio city,
sacked the church and the. principal houses,
nnd committed the most atrocious outrages
upon the defenceless population.
Hut even the mighty Morro C.istlc, or to
give its name in full, the Castillo de los tres
Santos Ueycs del Morro, was not impregna
ble. Two centuries Inter it was taken by as
sault by the English, and occupied by them
for more than u year, when they returned it
ti the Spaniards in exchange for the Flori
das. The fortification-) werestrong enough.

our boat sailed out into the shoreless sea,
without allowing in even to glance at tho
Casa Illation and the little town ot Uegla,
with its immense warehouse of solid stone
nnd corrugated iron, in which tho sugar of
tlie island is carefully stored.
Here, then, is the precious ribbon of water
which ties theGiilf of Mexico (which should
have been called the Meditcratican Sea of
America) to thegre.it Atlantic Ocean Here,
under our keel, is the Gulf Stream, the vital
artery of the earth, circulating the warm
heart-blood of civilization.
Cuba is the main stay of the Antilles,
which hold, as in a kettle, the waters car
ried into tho Cai1bbe.ni Sea by the currents,
of the South American coast, until they are
thoroughly heated by the tropical sun.
Cuba's proximity to the peninsula of Yuca
tan, producing n somewhat narrov" channel
interferes witli the progress of tho waters
entering the numerous straits in tho garland
of i-lands hanging between Po'rto Itlco und
the Gulf of P.iria, and compels the cm rents
to move slowly along the coast of Honduras.
When they finally succeeded in forcing their
way through the Straitsof Yucatan, the Col
(initios P.ecfs of Cuba semi them off into the
Gulf of Campiiieby, to encircle the Mexican
shore belore they paH out into the Atlantic
Ocean.
Half of Cuba is a i-ontiuuiiti hi of the
lidges of Yucatan, which leach us far as
rinrida. The southern poriion of the is
land form- the I'liiiiiocting link willi another
chain of inuiiiitaiiis that nin across the At
lantic into the South American Continent,
We can see from our boat the Ojo del Torre,
or Hull's Eye, a majestic mountain which
the richest vegetation ol the island seems to
have cho.-cn fur its own aristocratic residence.
Hut the highest peaks are the Torqiiino and
the Grand Pic-dra, and they raise their heads
about right thou-and leet above tho sea,
looking for maiim-is in need of their servi
ces as guides. The northern- portion of tho
island, whero Havana, Matanzas and oth
er nourishing towns aro situated, is nut very
elevated, and tho laud near Capo riaii-Anti)-nlo
is scarcely eighty feet high. Charming
hills stand in watch on the coast lino lioni
Guadiaua to Hemba; but here they grow shy
of the multitude of sailors staring ut them
from their ships, and they draw back into
the Interior of tlio island, and hide behind
the thickets and woods grimiiigon the gent
ly undulating plain between them and the
sea.
A broad belt of ciyo.', nunibeiloss coral
reefs, dill's, ntnds and i-lcts, protect tho coast
of Cuba ngniiii-t tho fiequent furors of tho
ocean. Some of theso Utile islands of which
only ii lew reach an area of livo square miles

Happily, Cuba cm boast of safe bays mid
harbors. Tho Ilaluneros consider the Hay
of lLivanii the finest in the world, but the

Tho Hay of Casidla, with a seaport town
of the same name, tends to the charming
city of Trinidad, about seven miles from tho
sea, at tlie slope of the lofty mountain
Yijiu, or Watch-tower. Trinidad, where
the bracing breezes of tlie mountain, mingle
witli those of tlio sea, oilers the healthiest
city residences in Cuba. .The streets are, as
everywhere on the island, narrow and crook
ed; but many houses arc built of massive
stone, and luxuriously furnished. Tho Pla
za de Carillo are adorned with pretty park,
mid the jutieu on tho shoro is a lovely prom
enade. Ilut best of all is to stand on tho
summit of the Yjgiaand look down into the
valley of the Looma del Puerto crossed by
the Manari and its numerous tributaries, and
shaded by magnificent jilautanoa and tlie
whole enframed by the-sea and mountain.

is subject to impressions different from those

joices in what is around him; where pover

ert is the land of visions and dreams. Here
prings up Mohammedan praises, full of

lights in allegories, calling tip fantasies of
immeasurable riches and Impossible natural
lisplays. The tropics of verdure nnd water,
where tho trees sho'ot'in straight lines up to

On personal appearance much of our suc

instances whcio'the soul shining through a
maimed or delormed body, has conquered
the ndi else circumstances. This is far easier
to do than to overcome an oll'eiisive or disa
greeable tiick of behavior, for society will
accord its pity ami symp. thy to n at u ral de
fects, but for acquired faults it oniy re-ei ves
its di-gust.
Kveiy reader will call to mind some per

Often practice has "been" formed of clearing
tho throat, or. spitting profusely about, or
picking tho cars or some other vulgar habit.

OLD TIME FON0S of nn: itor.r.tiioi T-S AND
DECK HAND.
No ono who has ever heard the w ildjct mel
odious songs of a negro steamboat crew, away
down on tlio Mississippi Itivcr, wlillo"wood
Ing up," can forget it. Tho boat has Ixudcd
at some quiet, uninhabitable looking sort of
a place, nnd lays lazily nloncsldo the full
batiks, wliilo tho overhanging cypress, with
Its long nnd graceful festoons of moss touch
the hurricane deck. The passengers arc out
on shore sldo guards watching tlio men filo
in with their monstrous loads ofcord-wood,and
out again, empty-handed, singing their pecu
liar songs nil the time. Tho foi'cst If lit up
with tho flaming torches, and the quaint re
frain of tho dusky minstrels as they move in
tlio uncertain light make up a weird scene.
In thco song, as in everything clso liuninn,
there is a loader. Ho gives out anything
that occurs to him, in a sort of strange polo,
nnd tlie others conio in on tho chorus. Tho
favorito sort of n song is in tlio words some
thing like this :
Tlio Nntchcz ts a bully boat,
lll-oli-oh,
She walks high on do water,
Ill-oh-oh,
The c iptaln he's n clever man,
lll-oli-oh,
And f mate H hero from oeorRki,
Hl-oh-ob.
These Dixie songs nil partake of the char
acter of the work that the singers arc engag
ed at. Sometime, in the old days, an army
of hundreds of negroes could havo been cecit
on a cotton plantation hoeing inn row across
a young field of the kingly plant, nnd then
the leaders sung of their neighbors, embalm
ing their virtue nnd commenting on their
vices, or telling the legends of their home.
I'or instance :
old uinrstei's inakln' money now,
Jan? Ram a lung go liny.
We does II witli de hoe and plow,
Jans nam n Ian? bo luy.
Dars old I'.i II. be'-; irone in lu-11,
Jans sum u lang ir-i hay.
De nlyjM he's sold nobody can tell,
Jniijf sam a laug go bay.
Little piece of lean nnd n little piece fnt,
Jnng gam n Inn-,' jro hay.
And the white folks grumble It on ent much of
dat.
Jnng gam a Ling go lia.t.
Wld nil this trouble wo ull like ham,
Jang gain n lang go hay.
An' ruddnh be a nlgga dan a poo- white mnn,
Jang gam n lang go hay.
At the quarters, after the work was over, all
the negroes would gather in some favorito
spot, with the banjo, boi,0s, triangle, fiddle
and tambourine, they would make delicious
music, while they wcrfe possessed of none of tho
accomplishment of instrumentation would
dance to tho merry numbers. All of these, of
every age and sex, could dance. Sometimes
they carried on u specie of song called"talk
ing jawbone." In this two of the most
learned would be pitted against each other,
singing alternately a stanza, and the one that
could hold out ia rhymes the longest was tho
victor. All those present would gather around
the musical gladiators, and one would start
in
F.iw lMpun. Slmevrt2us.- i.
Ding dat nlgga what sude my oh,
Bat putyest sheep that was In my Iljck,
And Tuggy stole my tin key cock,
Old J iwbono do go home.
Then the other would take up the time
and sing :
Dar's old inarst-r promised nw
When ho died ho d sot me fiee,
N'o-.v old m water's djad and goni1,
Hero's ills darkey still lilllln' up com,
old Jaw bone do go home.
And thus they would go on, for hours at a
time, until finally one or the other hud to
succumb for the hick of more stuff to sing
about. It has been a matter of wonder that
this peculiar style of song has never bcn
taken up and presented by the traveling ne
gro minstrel troupes of the day.
The plantation negroes in the days of slav
ery sang everywhere ; in tlie licklsat work ; nt
the corn husking; in their forms of worship;
in joy and in sorrow, every where, they sang.
Who has not seen an aged utility sitting on
the sunshiny side of her cabin, on a sunny ,
Sunday alternooii, with her head resting on
her hands, and her elbow's on her knees, rock
ing back and forth, crooning something like
this:
sing, littlo children, sing,
Mighty long time gwtne to the uossroads,
What made j oa co.ne si slow v
Hope toget ilir Hi de due time,
Uefoi-o dem gates Is cla-iv-d.
H'ory lintlj lu,
III the log churcA the leader in the Held
was the leader in tliu inectiii', and his song
was sometimes in this shape:
Why cim'i jou do like Peter did,
A w-uikt!!' or. de sea,
lie clapped bis hands to his djtn' Lord,
oh, gj).I I. i.-d, rem -mis-r mo ,
'.'lumber do rich una 'member de pool,
'.Mi iiiiierde Iwii'I and de free,
And wti-jn you are done 'memberla' 'round.
Dear, good Lord, remember mo.
Their religious songs were nil verv devout
ind ciucedn pel feet faith in tho teachings
ol the liible, the great truths of winch they
had gatlieied by ocraps fnini tho familiar as
sociations of some nl l iie hoti-e scr ants with
white persons who could read, and by them
carried in a soit of legendary wav to tlio field
hand, lle.-ides, they had a kind of religiun
graven on the tabids of their hciuts, nearly
like those on the tablets of stone. In tho
samo manner their songs sometimes dciivrd
amusing touches of tho classics as lor in
stance, in one ballad where they sang of a
horse whoso foot struck a rock nnd fresh
water came to the famished, which is doubt-le.-s
akin to the old mythological storv of
Pegasus.
A lingo book could bo written about tho
songs of this simple and untutored people,
