In Europe, where laber is poorly paid. and the industrial classes live “from hand to mouth,” the stoppage of wages, from sickness or other causes, isa serious matter, and fami- | hes are sometimes reduced im a day or two to ibe verge of starvation, unless relieved by pub- lic or private ebarity. This has ledin Eng- Jand. and parts of continental Europe, to the formation of mutwal relief associations, the seneral prin. iple being the payment by mem- bers, while employed, of a weekly stipend into the funds of the society, which entitles them to draw a stated sum per week if they are de- prived of work by sickness or other eauses ver which they Dave no control. In some eases there is provision for a “funeral fund,” every member contributing a stipulated amount on the death of one of their number, the aggregate being sufficient to detray the ex- pense of the funeral and afford substantial re- lief to the family of the deceased Although in this country mechanics and laborers who are industrious and pradent can | @ generally accumulate sufficient to keep them trem want for some time, in case of a cessation of wages, yet there are occasional instances where relief would be most opportune, and consideration of our workingmen and ners who live on & stated salary. The police. ust perfected among themselves a system of utual relief, which might with advantage be adopted by similar organizations elsewhere it provides that whenever one dies, every member of the force shall pay into the fund of the association fifty cents. The whole amount thus raised ts to be paid over to the widow or children of the deceased, and will be to them <uite & handsome sum. The police of New York, we presome, are at least fifteen hundred in number, and by this means seyer bundred and fifty dollars, or thereabouts, are insured to the surviving relatives of the deceased officer ‘The assoviation very trifling expenses, and the contributions, according to the usual rate of mortality, will mot exceed from two to four dollars a year. The plan might be extended to other services m which large bodies of men aire engaged, in this city and elsewhere. a RneN nse NeSSh aussie CISION RELATIV MOABBED MEATS VEGETABLES Ce os The Commissioner o: Internal Revenue is- sued a circular yesterday with reference to the taxes Upon canned meats, vegetables. &c. as jollews Ry the amendatory act sp duty is imposed upon “every can, bottle other single package containing meats, flesh, I-fish, fruits, vegetable, sauces, siraps, prepared mustard, jams or jellies contained herem, and packed or sealed, made, prepar- wd, and sold, or offered for sate, or removed tor cepsamption, in the United States, on or before the first day of October, eighteen han- dred and sixty-six.” While itis believed that it was and intent of Congress to impose a stamp tax upon the above-named articles, if sold or ‘ered for sale or removed for consumption in * United States. on or after October 1, 1566, rdiess of the time of their manufacture or pr tion. that intent is so imperfectly ex- pressed as to render it doubtful whether, under * proper coustruction of the language of the statote, such a tax can be collected. internal Revenue officers are therefore in- tructed not to interfere with the possession or le of such articles, of domestic manufacture = production, when sat factory evidence is arnished that they were prepared and passed out of the possession of the producer prior to the first day of Uctober. Oysters and other shell-fish are often re. Woved from the shell, and, without undergo- ing any process for their preservation, sre piaced, in a raw state, in tin or other vessels, for the sole purpose of 'ansportation in ice. ‘When put up in this mahner, and for this pur- pose only, they are not regarded as canned ‘within the meaning and intent no stamps will be required u: Articles named in C, when import. ea. or of foreign manufacture, are liable to the S'amp tax in addition tothe import duties there. on. When, however, such imported articles, xcept playing cards, lucifer or friction match ©s, cigar lights, and wax tapers, are sold in the origmal tnd unbroken packages in which the bottles or other enclosures were packed by the manufacturer, the person so se. ling them is not subject to any penalty on account of the want of 4 proper stamp; but when such pack. ages are opened, the articles should pot, un- Ger apy circumstances. be offered or exposed for sale until they have been appropriately stamped LAND OPERATIONS IN IOWA.
