TAXING MARRIAGEABLE PAUPERS. LEt US HOPE that the proposi- tion in the French chamber of deputies to tax titles—a duke fifty thousand francs, princes one hun- dred thousand francs, and so on— will not be adopted. It is a good scheme from one point of view, since it would clip titles from some names or drive some of the possess- ors of the titles out of the repub- lic; but on the other hand it would be a tax on the American bride, and make the cost of titled hus- bands too grievous for the Ameri- can papa to bear. These are days when the question of taxation comes right home, especially where papas and daughters have to go abroad. MERCHANDISE OF PA- TRIOTISM. A VETERAN, writing to George William Curtis, thinks the ex- soldier is not making merchandise of his patriotism, as repeatedly charged.

Are you seeking to shirk the burden? Are you pro- claiming the fabulous generosity of your giving? Who, then, is it that makes merchandise of patriotism?” It strikes us that that is putting a much abused term where it belongs. This is a very rich government. It is supported by very rich tax-payers. If it hadn't been saved by the sol- dier what would have become of the wealth that makes it possible ?
