Obituary.
ALPHoNsE DE LAMARTINE.

A cable dispatch from Paris, dated the
LIST announces the death of Lamartine the
poet and historian. He was born at Ma
con, France, in the year 1870. His fam
lily name was Pratt, and he was baptized
Alphonse Marie Louis Pratt, the addi-
tional 'tde Lamartine,' by which he was
best known, having been adopted in COM
pliment to an uncle who had left him
considerable legacy. The father of La
MARITIME was an officer of cavalry under
ing the reign of terror, " to an obscure
estate at Milly; whence the boy was sent
to complete his education at BELIEF, in
the college Of the Peres de la Fol. After
graduating, ne devoted himself to poetry,
and, in 1920, published his Poetic
Meditations, which was received with
general favor. Soon after, he was at
tached to the French embassy at Florence
where he resided until 1925. Subse-
quently he became Secretary of the
French Legation at London, and there
married an English lady Of fortune, a
Miss Birch, who died in Paris some FIVE
or six years ago.
In 1929, Lamartine published work
on the political and Religious Harmo-
nies,' in defense of the throne and the
altar. In 1892, he undertook a pilgrim
age to the East, fcr the purpose of poet
ical research ana study; and, three years
later, published al account of the same.
While absent, he was elected deputy to
the French Assembly and at once return
ed to France. He began a political life
as a consery alive, but gradually embrac-
ed the most extreme views. From this
time on, he was active in politics, but
found time also to continue his literary
bors-publishing, in 1885, two poems,
entitled, ''Joceyn." and la Chuted un
Ange." The first volume Of his princi-
pal work, the History of the Girondists, .
appeared in lS47. Besides this, he wrote
several other historical works, all of which
haye been widely read, and some of them
translated into foreign languages Lamar
tine was active in the reform movement
of 1858, and, in February of that year,
became member of the Provisional
Government, as Minister of Foreign AT
fairs. He was very popular with the
French people at this time, but was soon
driven, with his colleagues, from power,
on the election of Louis Napoleon as
President. In the year 1851, he retired
to private life. not altogether of his own
choice, and thus continued until his death.
Of late years his life was clouded by
pecuniary difficulties, insomuch that he
subsisted upon the charity Of his admir-
ers, of whom he was not ashmed to beg.
Nor did he feel it inconsistent with his
selfrespect to accept gratuities even from
the purse of the Emperor, of whose dy
nasty he was representative opponent.
So publicly were his wants made known
that latterly his name has been little else
than by-word of contempt, not only in
Paris, but wherever his previous reputa-
ton had made him known. Yet, in spite
of all, there appeared, occasionally traces
of his ancient popularity and, no doubt,
splendid funeral obsequiss will make what
atonement they can for the failures, weak
nesses, and consequent ill-favor of the
closing years Of the life of Alphonse de
Lamartlne.

A Punctuation Puzzle.

The following article fo.cibly illustrates
the necessity of punctuation. 1t can be
read in two ways, making very bad
man or very good man, the result de-
pendisg in the manner in which it is
punctuated
He is an old and experienced man in
vice and wickedness he is never found
opposing the walks of iniqulty he takes
delight in the downfall of the neighbors
he never rejoices in the prosperity of any
of his fellow creatures he is always ready
to assist in destroying the peace of society
he takes no pleasure in serving the Lord
he is uncommonly diligent in sowing dis
order among his friends and acQuain-

promote the cause of christianity he has
not been negligent in endeayoring to
stigmatize all public teachers he makes

The Pigeons Advice.

II shall never know this lesson" said
George Nelson. II wish there we're no
such lessons then wouldn't Lave lessons

whats the matter George?" a.ked
his grandma, who at the moment entered
the room.
'Oh this lesson grandma. Tn sure
| can't get it. just look both of those
long columns and I don't know one
word.
well never mind that; you will
soon know every word of it, if you try
hard. And then, think how much more
you will know than you do now. l won

get your lesson?'

know you had pigeons.''
mo haven't any now; but when
was very little girl my brother had a
pair of beautiful white pigeons presen-
ted to him. He told me that l might
call one of them mine. They were both
very tame, and they seemed to know us
both; for my brothers pigeon would 90
and take the corn out of his hand, while
mine always came to me. Well [ was
going to tell you how mine helped me to
get my lesson.
Did itreally help you?''
Yes; and | think it will help you
just as it did me-
I'm sure [ wish it would: for this
is very hard lesson"
His grandma smiled as he continued
Zone morning [ was sitting near the
window trying to get my spelling lesson

SO hard and was sure | could not learn
it. L sat there long time wishing [ had

Yes; sometimes it would fly up with
little piece of straw, and sometimes it
picked up quite long pieces: and when
it would get about half way up to the
window the straw would drop down, and
then he would go right down after it and
pick 1t up again. | saw it try tc get one
piece up three times, and the third time
it reached the window safely. Just then
my eyes fell on my book. There was no
lesson yet. How much my pigeon had
done while | had been doing nothing, |

one straw at time My lesson did not
seem so long as it did at first. In few
moments | knew the whole of it.

A NEw STORY ABOUT Mr. GREELEY

A NEW STORY ABOUT Mr.. GREELEY.
The Rochester Express says that a gen.
tleman who happened to be an eye-wit-
ness, tells the following good story about
Mr.. Greeley, which has never before
been in print:
Mr.. Greeley has never been accused of
extravaganza in Dress even by the demo
Gratis. One morning some years ago,
habited in his usual quaint style, he was
leaning over the counter in the Tribune
Office eating an apple, when an English
man entered who had that morning ar
rived by the steamer, and who, it turned
out, was connected with the London
Times, and had come to arrange some
business between that paper and the
Tribune.
Approaching Mr.. Greeley with very
arrogant air, he said:
''Fellow, do you work here?"
Yes, SIR
rs Mr.. Greeley in p
Eyes, sir
After waiting little, and seeing that
the fellow seemed very Indifferent to his
presence and inquiries, he burst out, al
most choked witt Indignation:
well, uhy the dcrH don't you go and
fetch him IN p
Il am Greeley, at your service" was
answered in the same calm and indiffer-
ent manner.
johnny Bulls hat was removed from
his head with alacrity, and when our
friend left, he was stammering his con-
fused apologies to the chief of the Tri
bune.

ANECDoTE OF GENERAL SHERMAN
There are many stories current relating to
Gen. Sherman, and this one he tells him
self:
The lieutenant general, as is now well
known, is not the neatest of mortals, and
one day an intimate friend, in the Army
of the Tennessee, asked him why he
dressed SO. I'm tell you, said the
general ''When [ was a second lieuten-
ant, | was ordered one day to Washing
ton city, and went in all the glory of a
bran new uniform. [ was standing in
front of the hotel, summing myself, and
quietly smoking my cigar, when | be-
came aware that L had attracted the at
tention Of number of small boys, who
gathered around III such numbers, and
with such admiring countenances upturn-
ed to mine, that could not but notice
them. As | did SO, one Of the Oldest of
them spoke UP in loud voice and asked,
Mister, where is your engine goin' to
squirt Gen. Sherman has never been
guilty of completely new uniform
since; he buys his in detachments, and
wears them out in instalments.

CREAM IN WINTER Keep where
moderately warm, and add at each milk
ing Tor once day. a little hot milk.
Heat the milk till almost to the boiling
point; heat it fresh from the COW. The
quantity is about pint to pailful at
each milking. The effect Of this is to
prevent the cream from turning bitter;
the buttermik will be as sweet and fresh
as in summer, and the butter in conse-
qucnce will be better than without this
treatment. We have this from an old
experienced dairy man, who has practiced
it for many years, and we are personally
known to the excellence of the practice.
1t is point that should be known--for
there is much bad butter made in winter,
and buttermilk unfit to use.-E.c

provisions relating TO the income tax, the
national Legislature promised the people that
the tax should cease to be levied after 1870
Until and including the year eighteen hun
dred and seventy, and no longer" are the
words. Instead of recommendation from
the President that the law be re-enacted, it
would be his duty. in case Congress should
vote to continue it, to veto the bill The
Government of the United States, powerful
as it is, must not be at liberty to disregard its
pledges to the people, just because those
Hedges were made five or six years ago. No
statute of limitations runs against the public,
by which the rulers of the land can escape the
just performance of their promises.
So high is the public estimate Of tho inn
portance of national honesty that all our
recent elections have pronounced the doom
of the policy which had for its basis tho repu-
diation of the national debt. Tho people
insist on the fulflment of every obligation
growing out of tho war, although largo pro-
portion of the debt is owing TO Foreigners
Can they do this, and at the samo time permit
the Government to break faith with tho
public here at home We think not, and
President Grant, in advocating the renewal
of the income tax, advocates reputation Of
the nations promises just as clearly as do
those who ask us not to pay the national debt.

THE INCOME TAX-WHY TT OUGHT TO
BE DISCONTINUED.

FROM the N. 4. H0TLd.
This unpopular tax will expire by its own
limitation at the end of the present fl seal
year, on the Both of June next. Whether
Congress will renew the law imposing it is
question which has been of late pretty widely
discussed by the press of the country, the
general drift of sentiment being thoroughly
adverse to its renewal. In these discussions,
however, so far as we have looked into them,
the objections to the income tax have been
rather feebly stated, and some of the most
Important have been overlooked altogether.
The arguments against it which are chiefly
dwelt upon ara its inquisitorial character, and
its evasion by so large part of the commu-
nifty as to make it a tax on honesty rather
than a tax ON incomes. These grounds of
objection are so tiite and familiar that we
merely allude to them in passing; it being
our purpose to present some of the neglected
considerations which weigh against the tax
A tax on incomes, even if it were not in
quisitorial in its nature and were paid with
out evasions, would nevertheless be one of the
most Objectionable forms Of raising revenue
that could be adopted
The incomes of people are no measure
either of their ability to pay taxes or of the
amount of protection they receive from the
Government. This is emphatically true in
young country like this, of astonishing
growth and development, where there
are such amounts of property, unproductive
at present, but constantly and rapidly
rising in value. The certainty that un-
Improved property in and around our thou
sands of expanding cities and villages will
rise in value, and the capabilities of the
vast area of cheap, unoccupied land in the
West, much of it lying in choice locations,
where, in few years, its value will be en-
HANGED ten or twenty fold have caused
extensive investments in such property
