Di cry é E 4 SS Senators -Cole and Casserly have beth introduced bills for the repeal of the income tax, and all of the Con. gressmen from this State are in favor of repeal. Thus the California representatives may be relied ‘upon to work for this measure as one man. The principal opposition will come this sea~ son, a8 last, says the Bulletin, from the Western members. The income tax has not been much felt in the West, where the very large agricultural population generally escape it, and for that reason prefer to see it maintained. A large portion of their gains is from the ‘increase in stock and enhancement of landed values, and few make sale to the extent of the increase, while the ordinary cash incomes are reduced to a nonstaxable sum by deductions for cost of labor, etc., and by the legal: allowance. In California, as in the Eastern States, a majority of the people are in receipt of salaries or wages, from which few deductions can be made beside the legul allowance,and hence our citizens have paid an undue proportion of this tax, _ Those who have large incomes do not pay nearly in the same prpoortion as the men of moderate salaries, and while the former complain of the inquisitorial nature of the tax, the latter complain of its unequal, and therefore unjust, operation. Something was gained for the latter class by reducing the tax one half and doubling the exemption. Sherman, from the Senate Finance Committee, has reported back all bills for the re peal of income tax, making recommendation against their passage, and it is thought that some more sweeping re~ form in revenue matters will be sug” gested by the Committee. The Eclipse. Yesterday there was a total eclipse of the sun, visible in Southern Spain and Italy, and two expeditions were sent by the United States to those localities for the purpose of making observations These expeditions are under the direc~ tion of Professor Pierce of the coast survey. The great point of interest which it is hoped may be determined by the contemplated observations is the nature of what is termed the sun’s corona. Through the researches of Mr. de la Rue, Mr. Lockyer, and others and by the aid of the spectroscope, the photoheliograph, and other appliances, the position and character of the red protuberances or tongues of flame on the sun’s disc have been clearly estab~ lished. But beyond and witheut what is called the chromosphere—of which the red flames are only the remotest portion—there appears during eclipses a halo of light of uneven contour, ! fringed with brilliant lines or pendants, This is what has been styled the corona, and there are. various theoties about its nature and origin. It is supposed by some to be a mere reflec. tion from our own atmosphere, and by others to be the atmosphere of the sun. Still other theorists hold that it consists ofcomets, or similar meteors, re. volving around the sun. Many predictions were made of great disturbances of the elements, by tidal waves, earthquakes, winds, etc,,on. account of the peculiar manner in which the attractions ‘of other planets on the earth would be exerted. No such result has followed at least in this quarter of the globe. a MARBLE of all kinds, alabaster and hard stone or glass may be re-polished by rubbing it with linen cloth, dressed with oxide of tin—sold under the name of putty powder.

Mining Locations, one hundred feet ‘ of the Erie mill, The claim ‘¢tends from the point designated abo¥e to the janction of the creek with Poor Man’s creek. The Kentucky Mining Co. has located 2,100 feet on aledge situated on the Kentucky ranch, three miles southwest of Grass Valley. Held to Answer. Ah Quong was examined before Justice Stotlar, at San Juan, on the charge of assault to commit murder. The offence was, shooting at Ah Fung. He was held to answer before the Grand Jary in the sum of $500. Ir is said that the Prussian general, Steinmetz, was disgraced because ia verged from the plan of action indicated by Von Moltke. AtSpeicheren Heights, it was found that the French might have been dislodged by a certain flankmovement provided for by the commanding general, but which Steinmetz re— fused to make, thus involving the loss of many more men than was actually neccessary. TITLES To Mitt Srres.—The Land Commissioner has decided that the law providing for granting Government titles to mines, passed in 1866, does not include mill sites except as a part of the mining‘claims. The Commissioner says: The Act enables claimants of mineral veins to include in their diagrams, and obtain patents, for such reasonable quantity of surface ground as may be necessary for the convenient working of the mines, as fixed by local rules. Consequently,. when a mill site is used in connection with a mine, and has reduction works erected upon it, I think a fair and liberal construction of the Mining Act will authorize us to treat such mill site asa part of the mining claim, provided it isso held under the local mining laws or customs, and to include it in the patent with the vein or lode. But itis evident thet jo no other manner than as a part of a mining claim, does the Act of July 21st, 1866, authorize the issuing of patents for mill sites. .When they were used for the convenient working of mines, actual contiguity between such mill sites andthe veins or iodes,—is— not deemed absolutely essential, and the tormer may be included in patents for mining claims although some distance ney intervene between them and the odes’ To MenD Rosser Hose.—William Hunt, New York City, writes in the Hub: “The inclosed method of mend ing rubber hose ought to be known to every body. I mended mine two or three years ago, and it is yet strong and good. The plumbers said there was no otber way bat to use couplings costing a dollareach. I usediron pipe, cut to order, three inches long, costing three cents each. Cut the hose apart where it is defective; obtain from any gas-fitter a piece of iron pipe two or three inches long; twist the hose over it until the ends meet, wrap with strong twine, well waxed, and it will last a long time.” As a proof of the secrecy with which Russian diplomacy is conducted, it may’ be worth while to mention (says the London ‘Observér), that after Prince Gortechakoff’s note hai been dispatched to London the Odessa Railway loan was introduced upon the St. Petersburg market, and was subscribed to fire times the amount required, Miss Murpoca (a sister of the well known elocutionist,) congideriug woman’s duties to be incompatible with female suffrage, is to lecture in sup. port of that view in Philadelphia and perhaps elsewhere.
