ThU Wimeiit applies as well te all ether articles'-that are provi ded in excess of the demand for them. It-wnld rfprbid tfi? jtaxatien of; real rsHHhfeSand wfisttaheWare'mere sellers'tban buyers of it. But if the state ia only te tax a thing when and where it is net in excess of the demand for it, its taxing pewerwwMl be paralyzedas there are alwayi Itimwi when .trade is dull and when the buyer is able te dictate terms j te the seller. The oil producers are'ablete protect themselves by reducing their production. They have a commodity which is needed and which is intrinsically worth? a great deal mere than they are new getting for it. tIt;dpes net become; themj. te pump it from ihe bowelsef the earth in Quanti ties greater tbawcjieeded and theu complain that "they cannot get a price"for itf that 'will be remu nerative.-It is a i great deal mere valuable te themselves and te the state in the earth than out of it: .Seme dny the supply will run short and the price will go up.. The producer should patiently await that time; but unfortu nately each one is fearful that his neigh ber will draw his oil away from him, :uid the scramble te be first in securing it causes the waste that is being caused of a most, valuable product. The ten dency of a tax'will.be te check produc tion at a less, and it will be beneficial te the oil interest te the extent te which it will exercise this influence. Petroleum is a better subject of taxa tion than the ether important mineral products of our state, such as coal and ere, because it is net se largely consumed in home manufactures. It is net se im portant as a raw material of manufac ture. It is also a peculiarly proper object te tax, because the state has practically the monopoly of it3 produc tion. In this latter respect it does net, however, differ in its status from an thracite coal ; and this article, it seems te us, can bear a reasonable tax. Bitu minous coal, which is much mere, abund ant and which is produced in se many, sections of the country, can bear but a light burthen of taxation. The temper of the Legislature inclines it te tax petroleum, mere perhaps, be cause it is known te be under the control of a foreign corporation which has se far escaped.the fair burthen of taxation aud ha3 accumulated immense wealth through its unjust manipulation of this great product of the state, than because of the characteristics e petroleum itself which make it a proper object of taxa tien.In the present condition of the state's finances the individual oil producer would probably be permitted te send his oil .untaxed te market. There is no doubt that the majority of oil wells are net largely profitable te their owners. There is no disposition te put auy burthen upon the small preducera. If the whole sub ject were referred te a geed committee with instructions te speedily report a measure te carry into effect the evident aim of the Legislature, a proper bill could probably be mere readily pre daced than it is likely te be by the body of the-Heuse, which is new under taking the work. The preposition erigi nally presented te tax all oil shipped out of the state is admitted te be uncensti tutienal in that shape ; but may it net be made constitutional, while effecting the desired object, by taxing all oil sent through pipe lines of a certain diameter, or from distributing centres; se that oil sent 'in small pipes from the wells would escape taxation, while the large quantities sent from the oil magazines would be taxed ? The effect of this would be the erection of refineries in the oil regions. The pipe line oil can afford te pay a tax because it is much mere cheaply trans ported than by railroads. We have heretofore suggested that pipe lines should net be chartered te carry oil te the very boundaries of the state, se that oil se transported would be refined in the 'state ; and we du net see why there could, net Jrc a judicious and en tirely constitutional restriction upon the free-exit of. oil .for manufacture outside enr boundaries.

With many of the customs that obtained in social life when town and ceuntrywerefurtherpftrt, these of the oldashlened " Pfingst"- exist only in memory. The street scenes and holiday sports of tU generation -age are scarcely te be found trace of in the pre sent celebration of the day, and ere long will be forgotten. The railroad, tele graph, newspaper and telephone have brepghfthe remotest parts of the coun ty close te- its capital-and gradually eliminated the differences between the town and country folk. The holidays of the old time and then? accompaniments are distributed mere and mere through out the year and no comparison mere vividly marks the progress of social de velopment in this community than-that of the present Whit'Mbnday celeoratien with the features of the festival in the olden times. The growth of total abstinence unions in this archdiocese of the Catholic church is significant. They new number 30 adult societies with 4,726 members ; 28 cadet .societies with 2,901 members, and 11 ladies' societies with 837 members. Net particularly general will be the 'extent of theknowledge of natural and artificial pisciculture given by the Inter national Fisheries exhibition, which was opened with great ceremony iu Londen ea Saturday by the Prince of Wales, but it will offer opportunity te these who attend te observe the exhibits made, while these directly interested will gain much by an intelligent comparison of species and modes of propagation. Mere than a casual interest may be attached te the occasion by the fact that the exhibits from America exceed these of the whole continent of Europe. Sixce the suicide of Amasa Stene at Cleveland, incidents, mere or less interest ing, are called up by his tragic deatb. The Ashtabula disaster appears te have been peculiarly depressing te him from .the fact that he was practically the builder of the bridge, and the melancholy thus en gendered was made mere poignant by the deliberate suicide of Mr. Cellins, the engineer of the bridge, while still further may it have been augmented when the venerable philanthropist remembered that a brother of Cellins and a brother of Mr. Stene hinuelf ended their lives by their own hands. A New Yerk genius claims te have discoveied hour te make paper railroad ties which will be as handsome as rosewood, as strong as iron and yet will' admit spikes. Considering that wooden sleepers last en an average but five years, that saventy millions of ties are required annually for American railroads, that the three hundred thousand acres of forest lands ravaged every year are net being restored by new plantings it is obvious that some substitute must be found for wooden tics, and sincj paper car wheels have been se successfully introduced why net paper ties? Seme of the Philadelphia colored people have been a great deal exercised about alleged outrages suffered by their Bishop Campbell in being excluded from a railroad car iu Flerida last fall because he was net white. Indignation meetings have been held, resolutions pass?d and no little excitement worked up ever it. The railroad authorities always insisted that the bishop claimed and was refused first class passage en a second-class ticket ; and that this is all there was of it appears probable from the announcement of At torney General Brewster that after a full investigation he finds nothing te justify the bishop's complaint. While the manufacturing interests of this country, whether from undue stimu lation, reckless overproduction or what ever cause, arc running en short profit, if net at less, the labor activity in England is greater than for years past. Minerr., navvies, puddlers and laborers find their services in equal demand with these of skilled artisans, shipbuilders and engi neers ; and the wages of labor are geed, while feed is cheap because of the great amount imported. But the very reverse is the condition of the farmers. Their home market; has been ruiatd by foreign, largely American, competition ; they have bad several bad seasons; they have had te pay high rents, aud they have been growing peer for years. Their restlessness is wide spread and almost all the tenant farmers in England, Scotland and Wales new belong te societies, working te secure legislation that will at last remove the heavier burdens of landlerdism. TnE characteristic festivities that attend the recurrence of Whit Monday in Dublin have te-day in that Irish metropolis a sig nificant cessation. Jee Brady, convicted and sentenced te be hanged for the murder of Lord Cavendish and Mr. Burke, pays the penalty of his crime en this church day, aud partly by order of the govern ment and mere by the 'inclination of the Irish people the usual enjoyments are dispensed with. The deprivation of them, however, is net ,jn any way dis agreeable te the minds of the Irish citi zens, since they will take a peculiar pleas ure in thus being able te demonstrate palpably their sympathy with the con demned roan. They are, many of them, at least, inclined te regard Brady as a martyr te their cause, and if it were pos sible, such demonstrations would doubt less have been made te-day that would have shown England with peculiar force that even the most expedient and the most secret executieajcan net deter a repetition of like crimes by the discontented-Irish. DucHEes of Edinburgh is about te start for Moscow te attend her brother's coronation or expiration.

Ic Londen en Saturday although the, sky was lowering, aud there were dashes of rain during the day, there was a tre mendous attendance at the opening of the International Fisheries exhibltien,at Seuth Kensington. The approaches te the tem porary buildings were packed witk'car riages and feet passengers at an early hour of the morning, and long before noeo the 23 acres of .buildings were filled with spec taters from all parts of the world The details of the ornamentation and arrange ment were net completed, owing te tbe unexpectedly heavy amount of work which the preparations. entailed, but the decorations were se mana ged that they concealed in a large degree the temporary defects. The general effect of the scene was very fine. The Prince of Wales, accompanied by his sons, reached the main hall at 12.10 o'clock, and his entrance was the signal for most enthusiastic cheers. The dais in this section, te which, the prince was later conducted by the exhibition of. ftcials, i3 a beautiful affair covered by 'a handsomely wrought canopy. Surmount ing the canopy and artistically setting it off was a crown from which were suspend ed festooned fishing nets. Frem this point the ceremony of introducing the royal party te the mistcries and beauties of the place proceeded according te the pro pre gramme outlined last night. Frem the conservatory the party were taken through the first ball of exhibits that devoted te Great Britain passing thence directly into the departments where were displayed the piscatorial treasures of the United States and Canada. These were given considerable attention and attracted much favorable comment. Deputations of fish ermen were drawn up along the line of route. The most conspicuous and pic pic turesque c these were the Indians of Canada. James Russell Lewell, United States minister te England, who had joined the party with ether diplomats, was net the least interested observer of tee display. After viewing several ether exhibits the party returned te the dias, where the address of the committee was presented by the Duke of Richmond. He explained the objects 01 the exhibition : that it was in tended net only te furnish an agreeable and instructive spectacle, but that it was intended that tbe public should receive an actual daily benefit as tbe result of it; that the practical cookery of fish was te be illustrated by tbe National Scheel of cookery, and that the commit tee had kept steadily before them the fact that the exhibition was for the millions He announced that the exhibition wenld be open several nights each week for the benefit of the working classes. He ex pressed in terms of hearty thanks the gratitude felt by the committee for the cordial manner with which application for assistance in tbe undertaking bad been received and responded by foreign govern ments aud by tbe colonies. tie then for mally bade the Prince of Wales and bis party welcome te the exhibition. The piince,in replying,read from manu script. He expressed his great pleasure in being able te assist at this ceremony, and regretted that an unfortunate accident had unaveldcdly prevented the queen from being present. He hoped that the exbibi tien would be the means of bringing te the notice of the people the latest and most efficient methods of securing the bounty of the streams, lakes and oceans, and would thereby be a pract:eal benefit te them. He dwelled at seme length en the importance of the life saving section of the display, and commended it te the attention of tbe people. Iu conclusion he conveyed the thanks of the queen te all the countries and colenics which were taking part in the display, and te their representatives for untiring exertions in bringing the matter te a snccesslul issue. He was warmly applauded. Alter some further exercises the exhibition was formally declared open. At a banquet in Fishmonger's hall. given iu honor of the luternatienal Fish eries exhibition, the Prince of Wales said that the contributions of the United States te the exhibition were especially deserving et credit. Mr. Lieweli, tne united states minis ter, replying te a toast te " Foreign Rep resentatives.

Frem Ireland te America. N. T. Sun's Cable Letter. The peer law guardians in the west of Ireland are making vigorous progress in their arrangements for the removal te America and the colonies of the starving peer of their districts. The unfortunate creatures, ranging from children in arms te old men and women of 70 and 80 presented a pitiable spectacle huddled en the rocks without shelter of any kind and in weather of fearful severity, waiting for the beats from the men-of-war te take them out te the steamer. A hespitable country awaits them, and thousands who remain envy them their geed fertune, but of the true character of emigration that the unions gladly pay for there can be little question.
