That small, timid-looking lad, who is standing in a corner, is the famous Komissaroff— the man who saved the liffe of the Czar. A few months ago he was a mere peasant. Now he is a nobleman, and wears a brilliant uni form, and has lots of orders on his breast. Last season he wa3 the hero of the day; he was embraced in public by any number of grand dukes and duchesses; his portraits were in every shop window; his brother no bles were abont to buy him a palace by pri vate subscription. A deputation sent from the great trans-Atlantic Republio, on purpose to congratulate the Czar, insisted on being presented to the sa viour of a life so dear to America and all the Russias. But now his lion-head—if I may coin the word—is lost. The subscription has never come to anything; the felicitations of the American delegates, however gratify ing, did not take a substantial form; and,” I am told, that on his last public appearance, when he stood in a tent on the Newski, on the occasion of the Cesarevitoh’s marriage, he, in stage parlance, had eeased to “draw.” Already candid friends are beginning to de clare that he only shoved the assassin’s arm by mistake, and that he ran away the mo ment be heard the pistol go off; but I dis trust these stories, as human nature all the world over delights in proving that a dead lion never deserved to wear the lion’s skin at all. Anyhow, Komissaroff is ‘played, out,’ I suppose I was nearly the only per son: in that crowded room who had any cu riosity whatever to look at him.*’ IKSsDEPABTMEHT OF RECEIVER OF TAXES, FHxrauxuHiA.

Meeting of Manufacturers—Effort for tbe Reduction of tbe Fax on Hannfaetores. This afternoon i. meeting was held at the Board of Trade rooms, in pursuance of a call addressed to cotton and woolen manu facturers, to take action to secure the reduc tion of the five per cent, tax on manufac tures. The mietingwas attended by quite a large number of prominent and influential manufacturers. Shortly after 12 o’clock, Gen. Patterson called the meeting to order. 4 Mr. Wm. Divine was called to the chair, Mr. George Bullook was appointed Secre tary. " * Mr. Divine annonnced the object of the meeting. He said that the necessity of the movement was apparent; Congress appeared to be indifferent to. the great manufacturing interests; it was evident that the people wished the taxes reduced.. It was an ab surdity to try to pay the entire National debt in this generation, as seemed to be the policy of the Secretary'of the Treasury. The pressure on the manufacturing interest was so great that production must stop if no relief is afforded by Congress. The speaker went on at great length to prove his points. He also attacked the system of warehousing foreign goods. Mr. Archibald Campbell urged that this tremendous tax bore most unjustly upon the working men who wear cotton and woolen goods. He urged that Congress should be stirred.- up and if the present members did not take a proper in terest in the matter, better men should be sent to the National Capital to protect the interests of the workingmen. Mr. Dennis Kelley, of KellyvlUe, took substantially tbe Bame ground. The manu facturers'must be protected, and in protect ing them we protect the workingmen. General Patterson was the next speaker. He alluded to. certain rich idlers who infest the cotin try and who do not pay any taxes, and he pitched into Congress for not providing a better system of taxes on imports, or a better system of taxing cotton. He thougbt the government dis criminated in favor of England and France and against our own manufacturers. While the war was in progress, no one grumbled at the taxes, <fcc., -but it was unjust to discriminate against our manufactur ers, at this time. The speaker also attacked the principle of turning good men out of Custom-houses, &c., ana putting in men- from mere political reasons. He de nounced the entire polioy of rotation in office for political reasons. He thought the Internal Be venue Department was also lumbered up with too many useless officials appointed for political reasons. In closing, he nrged the abrogation of the tax on manufactures, or at least a large proportion of it, and an abrogation of all taxes not absolutely essential to govern mental operations. He also urged a greater amount of economy in the operations of the government, Mr. Biohard Garsed, of Frankford, was the next speaker. He said in the coarse of his remarks that England did not tax any article that enters into her manufactures, and we should follow her. example. He thought we should get rid of this load of in ternal taxation. On motion, a committee was appointed to prepare a memorial to Congress to procure the abrogation of the 5 per cent, tax. The chairman named the committee as follows: Gen. Robert Patterson, Archi bald Campbell, Dennis Kelley,Richard Gar bed, James Long. , On motion, Mr. George Bullock was added to the Committee. Mr. Wn. Dunlap suggested that other branches of manufactures should be made interested in this movement. The iron manufacturers were taxed five percent., for instance, and there were other classes of manufacturers equally burdened. They should all take part in this effort. Mr. Samnel Cattell made a few remarks, urgigg that the matter be put before the Committee of Ways and Means of the House of Representatives by the personal action of a large committee, who would go to Washington and press the matter earn estly. A motion to that effect was made and adopted. The number of the committee was fixed at 12, the Chair to appoint. The meeting then adjourned, to meet at 2 o’clock, P. M., on such day as the chair should announce. ......... nEAUTIFUL BOOKB. " IS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS. . ; ILLU'TBATIONS IN • IL COLORS.
