most astonishing old gentleman has turned up,
amirace of a Methuselah. in Prescott, Wis. The
pecuarty Of this venerable person is that although
he only 100 years of age, he remembers the Boston
Tea Party, aud how his mother hid her tea to be
used in case of sickness He remembers all this
though the great Boston tea-brewing took place
eight years before he was born, that his memory
is equally astonishing with his longevity. When he
was 10 years old, he "voted for Washington" All
he has to say about diet is that che has eaten what
the rest did" Such remarkable creature could
only have been born in Connecticut, and his name
is David Stiles.

The emi-Englsh Government of the Can
nibal Islands has come to grief Mr.. Burt, q
shrewd Briton, who has been operating IN
South Sea Island affairs for some years, was
the Premier of a mixed Cabinet, which had
enough FIJI element in it to give 1T "hne
local flavor" but which was essentially En-
gllsh for all that. A brief dispatch says that
a revolution has occurred in FIJI, In conse-
ouence of which Mr.. Burt has been compelled
TO retire. The Premier is lucky if he escapes
being killed and eaten.

Mr.. Coburn, Chairman of the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs, has about as much
discretion as courage. He has so little of the
last that he dismissed the Clerk of his Com
mittee because he suspected him of not favor
ing the reelection of Gen. Grant, and so little
of the first that he took it into his head to
abuse the same gentleman in the House yes
terday, in the presence of people whe knew
the facts in the case. He had the satisfac-
ton of hearing himself fatty contradicted
by Gen. Garfield and Mr.. Hay, men whose
word is better than COburn's affidavit. The
facts as stated in THE TRIBUNE remain un-
controverted. Mr.. COburn dismissed from the
clerkship of his Committee an excellent and
irreproachable clerk, simply because he sus-
pected him of favoring the Cincinnati nomi-
nees The pitiable figure which he made yes
terday trying to defend himself was suffi-
cient punishment-that is, if mind like his
is conscious of the contempt of others.

A dispatch from Madrid states that Senior
Sagasta has made a speech in the Spanish
Chamber of Deputies announcing the resigna-
ton of the Cabinet "on account of the pub
licity given to the documents relative to the
secret funds" 1t appears that Mr.. Sagasta
used the public money, to the extent of some
millions of pesetas, or francs, to control the
recent elections to the Cortes, which, thanks
to this prudent expenditure, show majority
in his Excellency's favor. Money is not so
common in Spain as some other things, and
the people will be likely to resent any such
employment of their taxes. Mr.. Sagasta
should have restricted himself to his Ku-Klux
bill, and trusted to iron instead of gold to
carry his districts. AS the case now stands,
it is possible that we may at last see Minis
terial crisis in Spain which will not end, as
usual with the installation of Mr.. Sagasta as
Prime Minister. But we will not be sure of
that until we see the list of the new Cabinet.

It is astonishing to observe what extraordinary
things are discovered respecting man the moment
he becomes q candidate-as the Hon. Sam McNutt
is for the Office of State Treasurer of Iowa. Forth
with it is published of Mr.. McNutt that he is in
favor of the whipping-post as a punishment for
crime" This he declares to be " an unmitigated lie,
devised for electioneering purposes" Mr.. McNutt
closes his communication to The Clinton Herald in
this emphatic way: 81 will say that it is lament
able it is to think of the cruel reck
lessness with which some miserable scribblers, out
of pure cussedness will assail the good name of a
citizen and the thoughtlessness with which others
win repeat the SANDER" Mr.. McNutt is sure that
those who thus assail him will be punished either
here or hereafter" and he seems to find comfort in
the assurance

small one, of convenient proximity to the State

Really there is something awful, not to say i'm
pious in the audacity of that man who swindles in
the sale of lightning-rods He who thus tampers
with the respectabiity of the shafts Of Jove must
expect sooner later, to be mark of the avenging
bolt. The jamestown Penn) Journal relates how a
merchant of Hghtning-rods persuaded a rural gen.
tlenan TO permit him, just for an advertisement to
ornament his farm-buildings with rods. All he
asked was note for "a, as, but for that, the
patentees might take down the rods any day. So he
handed him note ready drawn for signature; it
was signed with touching confidence, and without
inspection; and it now turns out to have been
drawn for $1S6 The maker thinks that he might
almost as well have been struck by lightning.

Judge McCunn has adopted the tactics used
40 successfully by Senator James Wood as
defense. The Judge pleads the Statute of
Limitations in his case, averring that all OF
the offenses alleged against him were COM
mitted, if at all, before he was last elected to
Office. 1t is only necessary to state this plea
to establish its utter immortality; even if it
were true in it's particulars, it could have no
moral weight in defense.

Australian mineral discoveries continue start

worlds wealth of metals is reported to be
platinum, tin and copper, to say nothing of
new findings of gold. Mineralogists have
heard so much of the mines which have been

being found anywhere. A tin mine would be
a most valuable discovery just now.

THE LAWS OF TRADE.

Buyers--cousumers-willa always
seek market where the oommodi-
ties needed can be obtained on the
best terms, rs producers will always
seek the market where they can sell
at most profit. These are the laws OF
trade and it would be unreasonable,
even il buyers, though living next
door to a Merchant, or Mechanics,
or Printer, to complain, if they OBJ
tain their goods, implements, or
printing from other parties, in other
places, engaged in the same lines of
business, if they can get them on
better terms.
We are just in the most trying
condition to which competition can
subject any line Of business. la
Atlanta, just twenty miles below,
are some Of the best printing Offices
in the State and competition there
has reduced prices TO a very lew
standard. We are compelled to
compete with these prices aand we

THE PURE DEMOCRACY

We cannot, in view of the Nation

ny them the title Of "the pure dem

respect for both. But when ship

The Legislature is at this time
