what Tariffs are Made For.

The Tribune's correspondent writes from
Washington:
"The Hon. John Covode arrived tonight
to look after the interests of Pennsylvania in
the Tariff bill. He is sanguine that if Penn
sylvania coal and iron works are kept in full
blast by protection, Union men can carry
every Congressional District in the State ex-
capt three OF four ,ssEe4 IA s.,1t.
That is to say, if the people of New York
will give Pennsylvanans bounty of 100
cents per ton on coal, and from $40 to $40
per ton on iron, the Pennsylvania rich men
win pay us for it by electing some 20 dlsun7
ion men,-such as Thad. Stevens & Co.!
Rather. than do this,-we suggest that
Congress vote the Pennsylvania rich coal and
iron men. say, $200,000000 outright for
that is about the amount Mr.. Covode asks of
our farmers, mechanics, ship and mer-
chants, to elect this number of d. C's.-GN.

Eating Horse without the "Hamper
of GPeens.o
From the st. Louis Democrat

From the St. Louis Democrat
We were aware that there was hotel in
Paris, at which horse flesh was served to the
gourmands OF that gay and horse-pitable
metropolis, and we also believe that our SOL
diers acquired much OF their patience and
endurance from feeding upon mule meat but
there is German epicure in this county who
delights in examining his stomach with the
flesh of young colts, raw pork, and the ten
derloin of jackasses gentleman of this
city owns farm on one of the railroads in
the county, and the epeurean Teuton has
been employed as farmer to improve the
place A few days ago our city friend paid
visit to his farm, and took dinner with his
tenant On the table was roast of very
tender and juicy meat, of which our friend
partook with great relish, and pronounced it
the finest beef he had ever eaten.
Shortly after dinner constable and sever
al neighbors appeared at the farmers house
with search warrant to search the premises
for young colt belonging to one Of the
neighbors, which had been missing for two
days The colt was very fine one, and its
owner valued it highly He had searched
the whole surrounding country for his little
favorite, and had sent the old mare whinny-
ms pblotiSA W IllC WoSNo, sDbt lOob udI
ling did not respond to its dam by yea nor
neigh, and the owner and the old mare
were both disconsolate. At length neigh
Dor conceived the idea that our German far
mer had eaten the colt, because he had heard
him say that he had just as lief eat horse as
anything else.
As last hope it was finally concluded to
search Jakes premises, and the necessary
writ was obtained. The searching party ia
looking around, found colts tail in the yard,
but as all colts tails are pretty much alike,
this tail unfolded no story of the lost quadru-
ped, but served to strengthen the suspicion
The search was continued, and under some
hog skins was found the newly -hayed skin of
young colt, of the same color as that of the
missing sucking. The house was more close
ly searched, and hanging up in the kitch-
en- was found a saddle of meat The tail
found in the yard fitted this saddle exactly,
and no doubt remained that the colt had been
killed and eaten by the farmer. Our city
friend at once dismissed his tenant, fearing
that he might be oannibal as well as horse
eater, and devour his landlord. Strange as
the affair may appear, it is strictly true, and
we only suppress the names of the parties
out of regard for the feelings of oar city
friend, and dislike to disturb his equine
unity 3a} @

sIs Being,

In spite of all the stupid protests of literary
iogies, this beautiful and exceedingly popular
modernism has been being steadily incorpo-
rated in our English phraseology for some
time. But for fear that its use, SO essential
N the present day, may be being lost to flu
lure generations, would it not be well that
some additional applications of it with slightly
varied forms should be being suggested and
introduced? 1t would certainly contribute
greatly to its being permanently adopted into
ue language, if instead of being left alone in
we one form of sis being" the great and
u nioSt elegant variety of which it will SO read
ny ny ADMIT could be brought to its support.
