One of the pet ideas of the country paper is it - advocacy of every scheme or crazy idea to tax something or somebody. Every whimsical proposi tion to tax anything from book agents to telegraph poles is dwelt upon at length by the Republican and Demo cratic papers, the free trader and pro- i tectiouist alike. There is nothing but I demagogerv of the cheapest kind in this sort of talk. The town that sue 1 ceeds the best is the one that lias no j bars up against anyone entering it, but which has a standing invitatii n ( to the whole world to come and <*o < business there. It is the city which j exempis industries from taxation that 1 booms. It is the city that favors the telegraph company that gets the best service. A tax upon a corporation and especially an unjust tax comes from the people in the end because the corporation must make them pay it. Jfuzlcton Sentinel. One of those "would-be funny" in dividuals, a few of which can bo found in every town, thought it would ' bo a good juke to see an article in the paper stating that his neighbor's wife gave birth to four children at one time. Having conceived the "joke," he gave it out as a fact to a reporter, and the paragraph appeared in the paper in due time. The lady in the case failed to see anything funny in the article, and so notified the pub lisher, who had the joker arrested under the law which makes it a crime to give reporters false information. The case happened last week in Wil liamsport, and if the publisher of the tti will carry the prosecution to the end he will earn the thanks of every newspaper man in the state. There are too many looso tongues in every locality, and when they blab their falsehoods to reporters they should be compelled to shoulder the responsibility. A Washington correspondent of a metropolitan paper expresses grave doubts as to whether Cleveland will sign the tariff bill now before the senate, even if it should pass that body. If all reports are true the bill has been considerably altered through the presure brought to hear upon the finance committee by the Republicans who are posing as Democrats. In its present state the Wilson bill would not afford much relief to the country, and rather than have the name of of signing a tariff' reform bill which does not reform the tariff', Cleveland might give the protectionists of his own party a rebuke for their hypoc risy and cowardice in failing to carry out the planks of the Chicago plat form. Whether the bill be signed or vetoed will make no difference to free traders, for tbo tariff question will continue as the leading issue in Ameri can politics until every vestige of pro tectiou Ims been battejed down. Hill and his braggadocio friends may not like the programme, but they are too small a tish to worry about. Let them go where they belong—to the Republicans. No one would think that a genuine straight-out free trade and single tax meeting would be attended by more than a few hundred peoplo in any city these days, yet the Academy of Music, in Philadelphia, was crowded from pit to dome on Saturday even ing to In iir Congressman Tom L. Johnson, ol Ohio, Henry George nnd other prominent free trailers. When it is remembered that Philadelphia is the greatest Republican city in the greatest Republican state of the union, it is all the more surprising to know that nearly 5,000 citizens would crowd into a building to applaud while the principles of free trade were expounded. This simply shows that the rank and file of the Democratic party are leagues ahead of the party itself. There are today thousands of Republicans in the L'uited States ready to join Johnson and George and then fellow believers in "equal rights for nil and special privileges for none," but they will not become Democrats whilo Democracy is tied to the skirts of protection. The Democratic party will he false to the memory of its founder, Thomas Jeffer son, until it repudiates demogogues like Hill, Brice, Gorman and the people who believe with tliem and call themselves Democrats.

"You all thought I bed been budgin' over to Humbug, 'cause 1 coined in late this morning; but I hadn't I'd jest been attendin' a littlo before-breukfast mat inee in which thet young feller there played a solo part way up—erdown. Youse know him mostly—lie's the ex press agent what hangs out at Win ning Card. Well, where dy'e spose I found him this morning?" "You shut up, Dan. Here is the quart I promised you," said the subject of Dan's remarks, coming up and hand ing out a bottle marked "Egyptian Cough Mixture, S. T., 1800, X.," which l)au promptly appropriated and fondly applied to his lips, his movements fol lowed by six pairs of envious eyes. "You can't keep it, so I might as well tell the straight of it myself," contin ued the young man, balancing himself precariously upon an overturned wheel barrow. "I guess you will laugh—Dan did; but I ain't seen where the laugh comes in yet. I may when iny hair gets to laying flat enough for me to comb, which it ain't as yet. "You see, It was like this. I had been over at Humbug, calling on a female friend of mine at the Gold Dust hotel, und the time slipped by so pleas antly that when I looked at my watch 1 found 1 had less than an hour to get over to Winning Card to get the bullion out of the safe for the Silver Cily stage, which passes about eleven o'clock. You know how the road winds around Quartz hill from Humbug to the Card? —it's a good five mile, mostly uphill. Well, I knew that I couldn't make it that way, and as it was such a bright, moonlight night 1 thought that I would chance Old Ashby's trail over the hill, which isn't over two mile. You know Ashby's trail, Dan? That's the one him and I)iek Dunn fought about, and j he had to kill Dick." "Yep," replied Dan, his eyes twink ling with amusement. "I corned over it break o' day this mornin', an'—" "Never mind," broke in Hastings. "I thought I could see well enough to keep out of the IIOICB aud make pretty good time, but that old hill's got an abandoned mine every fifty foot, and they run from ton to five hundred feet deep. I don't believo there is a curb or board over the whole blessed lot. Well, I was making good time enough until J came along to where 1 judged the Bobtail extension was—a good six hundred feet deep, if it's a foot —when I noticed that the sky was clouding up. In about five minutes I felt a chilly gust of wind, and then it suddenly got blacker than a stack of black cats. Knowing where I was, and the danger of stepping into the Bobtail, made the cold chills play tag up aud down my spinal colum. I slowed up, and for awhile shoved one foot ahead of the other until I begun to get careless, thinking that I knew the lay of the land well enough to know that I was past the worst of it Suddenly, just as I started to sing the first verse of 'The Days of '4o,' 1 stepped on nothing but oxygen—and I knew to a dead cer ! tainy that I was falling into the Bob tail! "If I live to be a thousand years old, I will never forget the feeling of hor ror that took possession of me. As I plunged forward, 1 instinctively threw "AND FONDLY APFLIKD TO HIS LII'S.' I out ray arms, and fetched, breast up, I against a piece of scantling—the only tiling left of a floor that had once cov ered the shaft—with a suddenness that took away my breath. I hung onto that scantling like grim death, for I knew it was the only thing between I mo and the hereafter; but 1 was limp and nerveless from the shaking-up I had received. "After awhile, though, I put out one foot and felt for the left wall—couldn't reach it! Tried a little harder, and got so interested in the operation that I slipped my hold on the board, and barely caught with my hands! I tell you, my heart come up into my mouth, and I could feel the cold sweat drop ping from under ray cap and run ning down my back. But I had touched the side, and in doing so knocked off a piece of wall-rock, which 1 heard go chinkety-chink, chinkety chink, until I counted thirteen, then a faint splash in the bottom. "J was so weak by this time that I could not wiggle one hand over Qie other and make the side that way. vll I could do was to hang on und yeil. And didn't I yell, though! But nobody heard me except a lonesome old coyote, who came up and had a yell with me. After awhile i made up my mind that I'd got to go, and then I begun to think of every mean thing I ever did in my life, from drowning kittens to—well, no matter what to—and the few good things; they didn't take me long. You can laugh, if you want to; but I ain't going to drink any more; 1 can tell you that, now! "I thought of myself lying in that black pit o'hell, starvingand mangled, wishing for ideath that came so slow. Somehow, that seemed all right—l could stand that; but when I thought of the five hundred dollars, Stage com pany money, in my pocket, and they advertising me as an absconding thief —it was worse than horrible! "It was about that time that I began to feel around for the end of a prayer or two that I used to know when I was a kid, and as I repeated the familiat 'Now I lay me down to sleep' I could see my old gray-haired mother away down east on the old home farm in Vermont—l could see her sitting in the little low rocking-chair at the west window, where, she wrote me she would always sit as the sun went down in the west, and give him a message for her dear boy, to deliver when he smiled upon him after she had gone to bed. I could see father come in and hand her the paper —the one I subscribed to for her when I first came here. I could see her dear old face flush with pleasure at the thought that she was soon to read a 'personal' about 'Our gentlemanly and efficient express agent,' like they are always putting in out here. The dear old lady nervously feels about for her specta cles, which she can never find, where she has pushed them up on her fore head. At last she bus them safely in front of her eyes, and has smoothed the ruffled gray hairs into place. She opens the paper und stares hard at the scare head: 'Stop thief! Where is : Edward Hastings, und where, oh! where is the Stage Co.'s five hundred dollars?' I could see her read the in fer aul black letters in a dazed way then the truth—the lie, the black lie— gather up her bruised spirit und bear it away while her head is bowed in grief! And—and I could see myself in that hole, mangled and bleeding! "I thought all this and more, too, boys. A man lives a long time when he knows that he lias got to die the next minute. Then I felt my grip slowly relaxing. I commended iny soul to God, shut my eyes, let go and dropped!" The interest of his listeners was in tense now. Even Dan's, hand shook a "EXCEPT A LONESOME OLD COYOTE." little as he took his pipe from between his lips, and Hastings' voice dropped almost to a whisper. Ho paused a mo ment and added: "Dropped—just eighteen inches!" There was a dead silence for fully a half a minute; then Grasshopper Jim, "fm Kansas," got up, slowly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, in spected the hand critically for a mo ment and as slowly wiped it down his boot leg, where it left a long damp streak in its wake. Then he sat down J again, looking fixedly at the express j agent, and ejaculated, amidst the ap proving glances of every miner present: "Well, I call thet ther a shame!" | The S. T. 1800, X., bottle was passed from lip to lip, but no motion was made to pass it on to Hastings until Dan recovered enough to explain that the story wus true in every particular —that he could vouch for the most of it. Hastings, in fact, had fallen into the Bobtail shaft, and the only reason ho had fallen eighteen inches, instead j of six hundred feet, was because in digging the mine the miners had found after going down about six feet that they were some four feet to the left of the vein and had simply "shelved" and gone on; and that morning, as he was coming to work, he had found Hastings . "roosting onto thet shelf," too weak j from fright to help himself out! Missouri Joe evidently had sifted the whole matter through his mind and was not satisfied with the conclusion. "I s-a-a-y, Neddie," he drawled, "what did you do when you struck bottom? Did you finish that there prayer?" Ned colored guiltily as he replied: "Naw; you know I didn't finish the prayer. What do you suppose I did?' ; "Just cussed," suggested Joe. "Sure!" answered Ned. Cautious. "Are you the proprietor of tins rcs taurtmt?" said the man who had waited for his order until he became sleepy. "Yes, sir. What can Ido for you?" j "You can give me some information.

THE SQUIRREL MONKEY. When 111 Captivity lie Makes a Very lu teres! lng Pet. The red-backed tee tee, or squirrel monkey, is by fur the most beautiful in form and color of all the North American monkeys, as well as being an interesting: pet' in captivity. The length of the head and body is about twelve inches, and the tail is 4 aboutthe same length. In color the whole skull cap is black; the ears, face, neck and throat are white; the back is reddish brown; the sides of the body, forearms, hands and feet are ocher yellow: and the arms, thighs and upper two-thirds of the tail are olive and gray. The tail is not prehensile, and the outer third of it is covered with rather bushy black hair, longest at the end. 1 once owned a very near relative to the species described above, a teeteo. but not this identical species, which was about the size of a gray squirrel, with the nervous activity and spright liness of three. I bought it of a sleepy Indian in South America, and it proved to be the plague of several peo ple's lives. He could perform ono feat which I am sure no other monkey can.

One evening in Demerarn I onee saw, during half an hour's puddling on the Kssequibo river, about sixty of these little fellows settling themselves for the night.

A Swallow Execute* a Sparrow with NrutucM unci Dispatch. No one knows how much birds and dumb animals generally think, or if they think at all. It is certain, how ever that mnny dogs do seem to reason out certain conclusions; and the most remarkable incident on record, per haps, of this with regard to birds is that cited some time ago by a Mary land paper. The editor, Mr. Iladda vvuy, gives an account of this remarka ble encounter between a barn swallow and 1111 English sparrow. The swallow had built its nest among the rafters of the barn of Mr. Denny, near Royal Oak, in Talbot county. While on the nest the swallow was attacked by the sparrow, and the two birds had a furi ous battle, which went on sometimes in t he air and somct inies on the ground. The swallow was courageous, but it had not the wind of the sparrow, and finally ha 1 to yield to its antagonist. Having driven the swallow from the barn, the victorious sparrow took pos session of the nest and contents. In about an hour the swallow returned to the barn, bearing in its mouth a bunch of something r< oraiding long horse hairs. The bird went directly and noisele :lyto it n< threw itself on the buck of the sj arrow, and before that ic to.uislw 1 bird had recovered Ir< in the shock cnusi !i y the sudden and violent return of it vanquished foe, 111 • * swallow put a horse-hair noose around the sy>; rrow s neck, and some how fasti ned t!i • ot!;.-r ndof the lasso to the nc t. or to the rai'ier.
