which wa 60 more than the b dot But

The court held that the ealewas au
vertised for cash at an upset price ot
16.000, and, therefore, any intending
bidder ehould have prepared himself
with.at least that amount of money or
it equivalent. Under the clrcuin.,

they could not provide anainet and to

Washisoton, November 6. The work )
preliminary to carrying into effect the
new income-tax law is going forward as
(-rapidly as its nature will permit under
the direction of W. A. Pugh, who In Oc
tober last was appointed Superintendent
of the Income Tax. A number of com
plicated and interesting question have '
arisen under former laws, and anticipat
ing that questions will arise in the fut- ;
nre of equaL importance, It is essential '
for their solution to understand what
has been the former legislation of Con- ',
gress, the decisions of courts and rulings "
of the department on the subject ol the
income tax. With this end in view Mr.
Pugh has been occupied since his ap
pointment in examining and preparing '
a digest of the court decisions and the
department rulings under their respect- -
lve Headings, ne na aiso oompareu au ,
the former law npon the income tax,
arranged so that all the provisions here
tofore made upon the same subject shall
appear properly grouped, and any one at .
a glance can tee we various cnangea ana
modifications that have taken place.
There have been several acts npon the
subject of the income tax. . The first was
passed August 5, 1861.. Under this act,
however, nothing was done. ' The act
failed to provide many provisions con- ;
toined in the subsequent legislation
both as to the subjects of taxation and
the methods of collection. 'The-second
act was passed July 14, 1862; tbe third
act Jane 30, 1864; the fourth March 3,
1865, and the fifth act March z, 1867.
Under the first act $800 waa the amount
reserved from taxation, and the rate of ;
taxation was 5 per cent on all sums over '
that amount. Under the act of July 14,
1862, the amount reserved from taxation
was as follow:
If the income exceeded $600 and. did
not exceed $10,000, a duty of S per cent
on the amount over $600; if said income
exceeded the sum of $10,000, a duty of 6
percent npon the amount exceeding
Under the third act $600 waa exempted
and the duty waa 5 per cent on the ex
cess. Under the fourth and fifth acts
$1,000 was free from taxation, and the '
amount of tax was 6 per cent on tbe
amount in excess of that sum.

military men that the bicycle might be . .
an effective adjunct in war time have "
been dashed by the exhaustive tnais

" We have it on trustworthy authority .
that the nwnlta of the trials which the "
various army corps have made with the
cyclists by no means came up to the ex.
pectations which were formed. Tbe cy
clists have been tested In ever possible
way, and although It is not forgotten
that the cycle is capable of further de
velopment and the cyclist of still
better training, atoll this will have little
influence on the general result, tor 1
military purposes, too, a distinction
must always be made between the
achievement of professional and una-
teur cracks and the work that can. be .
done by the average soldier."

t MCI - GBABS OB COCOA. .' '
It la Proving;' the Bnaelaa VhlatI of the
'. - ' . South.' '
Washington, November 6. The nut
grass or cocoa ia proving to be almost a
much of an infliction in the South as Is
the Russian thistle to the Northwest.
For that reason the Agricultural Depart-'
ment will soon issue a special bulletin
urging a general campaign against this
grass before it gets too firm a hold. This
plant is not a grass, as its common name
and its appearance indicate, but a sedge. -It
has many local names in the different
regions in which it has been introduced.
Tbe species is ot subtropical origin, and
is said to have reached uie United States
at New Orleans among garden plants
brought from Cuba. It now extenda
from Texas to Southern Illinois and the
coast to Florida and New Jersey, being
more abundant in the sandy hills. The .
plan of campaign to extirpate nnt grass
is simply to prevent it maturing seed
above ground. Nearly every body .thinks
the nuisance reproduces itself from the
nut alone, whereas it propagates a thou
sand times more from the seed. - Hence
to effectually and quickly destroy nnt :
grass on any land infested with' it the
soil should be frequently stirred daring
the growing period of summer, so a to .,
stimulate each nut tuber and seed to .
sprout. The best time for fighting it is
between midsummer ana iroet time.
