It 18 said that Mr. Randall was od to draft a bill,to be ready by the expiration of the ss, which will deal only with the reduction of iuternal taxes. The question of r duties was abandoned, one ground of objeetion to attempting such reyision being that Mr. Morrison and his friends might pos- sibly take advantage of the opportunity and go further with the tariff reduction than Mr. Randall would desire. It is ox- pected that the new bill will propose s considerable reduction of the tobacco tax, and willin all probability abo the tax on frait brandies.

Greene, of th States cngineers, in an article ner’s Magazine on the subject of our de fenscless coast cities, says that the very clements of wealth and population which have made an in ion of the ( ed States impossible have brought an mn danger in another direction up gr on the the Atlantic and Pacific oceans northern tal ontaining an ag population of wore than 5,000,000 structible property with a vala of four thousand m dollars producing annually manufactured ods alone valued at one thousand mil Here is where we are weak Every one of this large population and every dollar of this vast property is in zer of destruction by a hostile floot The shells of an enemy's vessels could in u few woeks, or even days, after a declar ation of war, reach every portion of it, so utterly defenscless are our harbors against the ships and guns that have been developed during the last twenty years, during which time we have done nothing. Thus, dismissing the idea of invasion and conquest, as wholly visionary, the problem of national defense has simplitied 1tself 1o merely protecting lifo aud proverty against a possible encmy in our seaboard and Inkeboard cities. In other words, it 18 a problem of national insurance on life and property to provide for just those eases of danger, which are specinlly excepted from ull ordinary policics, Ap- plying an annual premium of one per cent on the destructible proverty valued at $1,000,000,000 would give $40,000,000 for defense, but Captain Greene says that half this amount expended annually for six years would give us a compl system of insurance—that is, harbor defenses stronger than any shipe which could be brought ngainst them. With theapolica- tion to this purpose of even $10,000,000 year for six years he says that full threo-fourths of the livesand property on our coasts could be placed out of danger. The country ean aitord this expenditure and a wisc prudence urges that it ought to be made.

The man s miss- ing and there Isnot the sightest clue to his whereabouts, Some of the scarchers rernembered that they had noticed a track throt ods from the lake, as though man had pushed his way and pped the twigs and bushes in his progress, but there were no footprints, ‘Chen 1SS ing man's son, who had milked the cows the evening of the disappearance, re- marked that the milk was heated, as though the cows kad been run home ' too ast, and they also scemed to be f ened. Some of the peopte advanced the theory that the man wus carried off by one of the Nova Scotin wood serpents, m whose existence, so seldom have they been seen, many people have not believeil at all, A young man of good character and position fiere told the correspondent of the Sun that in Scptember last as he was coming to Canso, he saw which appeared to him to be an old dry log neross the road. but when he camie near it, to his great astonishment a gre: reptile 'whose head was on the one. side of the road and its tail in the woods on the other side, gave Lwo or three sweeps with its tail and darted into the forest, making the brush crash with the velocity of its progress as though an elephant was going through. ‘The serpent's body med to be about the size of a cask i dinmeter, its length over thirty feet its head, which he saw plainly, about three times the size of an - ovdindry tex kettle. The old farmer's disappearance civen a new and fearful intercst to this young man’s account of the wound ser- pent, and the people round about can find no other explanation of the mystery than that the missing man was carvied ofl and destroyed by one of these amphib- ious man-eating monsters.
