Ray Red Tape has often been bur.
lesqued, but we doubt If more ex'
treme case was ever recorded than
the following, credited to the English
was department: ea
"There is a tradition, said to be
historical, concerning q clerk in the
war office who once wanted a peg
whereon to hang his hat. To save
the expense Of carpenter he applied
for hammer and nail with which
TO drive it himself. Six months passed
before he received any answer to his
request, and he had long ago set up q
peg of his own, when a special mes.
senger from the Tower arrived 10 Pail
Mall with hammer sent to him at
last through the medium Of number
less acquisitions and authorizations
At the same time he was informed
that it was not the province Of the
Tower officials to supply nails, but
that these would come from Wool
wich, and after few mouths further
waiting they really did arrive--a
pound Of nails, brought by a great
ambulance wagon, with its half dozen
horses end its dozen attendants"

sG- London has dog law, and its
leading provisions are as follows: The
police may take possession Of any dog
in the street not under control, and
detain it until the expenses are paid.
The POLICE may require dogs to be
muzzled. Where dog is "appre-
hended' by the police wearing a col
lar, letter is to be sent to the ad-
dress. When a.dog has been in the
possession Of the police for three days
it will be sold or destroyed. An i'm
portant addition has been made to the
effect, that on complaint to magis-
trate that dog has bitten, or at.
tempted to bite person, he may order
it to be destroyed.

U. s. BONDS.

TIE total Bonded Debt of the
United States amounts to about 81
0,000,000. Democratic say tda
them" Who holds these bonds
Democratic authority before us says
about $500, 100000 of those bond,
are owned in Europe. Can you tar
these if you try2 Can you tax per-
sons who are not represented in the
legislative body making the laws for
taxing their property. That is "AK-
alton without represen tation'. and is
opposed to the Democratic platform,
The Same authority says that over
$500, 100000 Of these bonds belong
to National Banks. The stock In
these banks is already td1ed. Do you
want them taxed again2 Those two
items amount to 81 300, 900, 900, leav.
ing over $500, 600, 900 Of these bond,
still unaccounted for. Where are
they? We will give Mr.. Seymour,
answer lie says that the amour,
deposited in Savings Banks in the
State OF New York alon' is S140, 900
900 and that in all the States at least
$500, 100000 are thus deposited.
These immense sums are deposited by
persons of small means. He says
there arc 2,500,000, of such persons,
not capitalists, whose whole security
consists Of u. s. Bonds. Fire aud
Life Insurance companies hold bonds
All the funds Of such institutions are
not ia bonds, but Mr. Seymour 50 Us
if their value is impaired all these
institutions would be ruined aud the
poor along with them. These insti-
tutions pay income tax at least, on
their bonds, to say nothing Of tax on
their stock. Where then, are the
immense sums, said to be held by the
"bloated bondholders 2" Mr.. Sey-
mour says 1t is mistake to suppose
that rich men hold theoc bonds to
any considerable amount. They can
make more out of their money in
other Investments. -ii
These statements are made UPON
Democratic authority and it shows
that but comparatively small amount
of bonds are in the country that es'
cape taxation in any 81 ape.
The Supreme Cougt of the United
States has repeatedly declared against
taxing bonds and it Is useless TO tall
about taxing them. nn

IfFrauk Blair is"the coming man,

On Sunday, August 3--only a lit

and the "head oehter" was tho booz-

convivialists attracted quite a crowd,
and it is said that Blair gavo them
more antics, cute gags. and ground.
lofty tumbling, than they had
ever seen in circus. So drunk did
he finally become, that ho was picked
up from the floor and carried bodily
to bed by two men, and put away out
of the sightof the tittering crowd.
These statements are true aud in
