It believes in high license. -— The election returns on the prohibi- tion question are coming in rapidly. All counties in Sothern Texas are giving arge majorities for the Anti-Prohibi- tionists. The present returns, carefully estimated, indicate that the prohibition question will be snowed under bya ma- jority of 865,000, . a0 The much talked of duel detween Gen- eral Boulanger and M. Ferry has been indefinitely postponed. The second couldn’t agree on tarms for a meeting Those representing the soldier wanted to keep up the firing until one of the com- batants was hit. The friends of the statesman insisted that one shot was sufficient. On this point they separated, and the probabilities are there will be no shot at all. > o-— After all, what a ludicrous fellow For aker, of Ohio, is! A few weeksago he was fuming and cursing and helping Fairchild to palsy the President because he had committed the awful blunder of ordering the return of the captured Con- federation battle-flags.

P.AT MOUNT GRETNA, VIA PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD, The tents of the National Guard of Pennsylvania will be pitched at Mount Gretna on the 6th inst. and the troops will remain in camp until the 13th. The selection of Mount Gretna as the site of the encampment is peculiarly happy, as the location is not only easily accessi- ble from all quarters of the State, but the surroundings of the camp are as hand. some, attractive, and pictaresque as any ground in the Commonwealth, Beside the natural beauty of the park, artificial adornment makes it a charming spot.

ION OF THE LAW, The Attorney General of Pennsyl- vania has given it as his opinion that the taxes on watches, furniture and pleasure carriages are not collectible, Notwithstanding this opionion the re. venue comm issioners have instructed the county commissioners of the differ. ent counties to collect such taxes. Some counties, have followed this instruction and others have disregarded it. Where the tax is being collected most persons will pay it rather than make the ex. pensive single-handed contest against its collection. This may result in great injustice, because the persons who pay the tax will never get it back, even if the county be finally allowed a credit for it on the last adjudication of the ques. tion. The situation is an unfortunate one, It would have been better if all the counties had followed the decision of the Attorney General, He is the law officer of the State, —A-T C-O-S-T.
