what ss n EuXury?

When you, who own nothing but your
day labor, go into our largest 0ry- goods
stores, just ask, out of curiosity, for the
dearest article in the establishment, and
forthwith the polite attendant will take
you to the camel 's-hair shawl depart
ment, and introduce you to $4,000.

exclamation; "What a luxury! Why,
it viii buy farm, or even q nice sub
urban house, Hence you conclude that
this camel's-hair shawl is a decided lux
.ury. But you ,cere aerer SO mach mis-
token IN your life about this shdacl being
h0ught BY oar toGF-makerS luTury.
just tell the polite gentleman who at
tends on you to show you a woollen
lop-rVg, for about So or ST, and you will
then behold the real luxury of the estab
lishment, The mystery is thus explain
ed, Our tariff makers have commanded
that ifyou import 100 camel's-hair shawls
into the L. s, 35 out Of the 100 shawls
shall be, for the good of the State, retain
ed, or their equivalent in money Butt
you import 100 woollen lap:rugs (cost-
ing in England S2.l6 gold, each), 127
out ofthe 100 imported belong to the
State, and as the enlightened tarif-mak-
ers have until now failed to devise a
method how to take l27 from 100, they
have wonderful cunningly calculated
that 100 lap-rugs, at S2.16 gold, each,
come to 50 16, and that if the consumer
pays on these S2l6 another S274.S2 to
the Government, the lap-rugs may then
be lawfully used to warm your extrem-
tiles.
This delightful state of affairs is entire
ly owing to the fact that camel's-hair
sh avis are not made in the United States
hence 80 per cent is quite enough (as IN
deed it is quite too much) but lap-rugs
are made here, and therefore 127 per
cent is fair and easy duty-Boston Re

Early after Che inauguration, offices

bueklers, upon the heads of. the royal
house of Dent, You might have heard
here among certain 'sagacious Western
men pertinently suggested the establish

dropped from my mind until, rising from
my sick bed, hear the buzzlngofa a fresh
smarm ofDents--come out like locusts-

One believes almost that there is
somewhere brokerage of this magic
name, upon whose bearers honors and
offices are expected to drop like stars.
