William Murphy, the English anti-Ca-

The procession, we are told, was accom-
panied along the route by an excited,
lll-behaved and unruly mob. The hearse
and the mourning coaches were guarded
by strong force of police, and on the
arrival OF the body at the entrance of
tho cemetery, about 10000 persons had
assembled. The crowd behaved in the
most disorderly manner, and several
persons were taken into custody for
throwing stones ct tho mourning coaches
as they returned from tho cemetery.

The MAN WHO PAYS THE TAx.-First
comes tho ship-owner. who says, "Pay
me my tax" the next on the list is tho
importer. who asks for his tax and the
shlp-owner's tax; the next in order is
the hide dealer, who wants his tax and
the taxes Of the ship owner and the i'm
porter; next is the tunner, who SAYS that
he must have his tax and the taxes of
hide dealer, ship-owner and importer:
then comes the leather dealer, wrauglipe
for his tax and the taxes of the tanner.
the hide dealer, the importer and the
ship-owner; next is tho manufacturer,
who wants his tax and the taxes of the
leather dealer. the tanner, tho hide
dealer, the importer and the ship owner;
then here comes the wholesale dealer
he must have his tax and tho taxes of the
manufacturer, tho leather dealer, the
tanner, the hide dealer, the importer
aud tho ship owner; the retail dealer
then comes in for II say-hc shouts loud.
~ for his tax and the taxes Of the whole
sale dealer, tho manufacturer, the leather
dealor. the tanner, tho hide dealer, The
importer and the ship-owncr. Now
comes the man who really pays the taxes
OF the country. 11o is tho working. man
the man who tills tho soil, builds the
houses, the railroads, the ships, and the
man who consumes, and he is tho man
who. Sin rent and all he can use, pays
lax to the ring, rs ho does on his shoes
through the retailer, wholesaler, manu-
facturer, leather dealer, tanner, hide
dealer, importer and ship owner" Hence
it is plain to be seen that the consumers,
whether rich or poor, black or white,
high or low, are deeply interested in tho
reduction Of taxes, by whatever method
it may be levied

A Shipwrecked Soul.

Did you ever hear the cry, A
man over board! In the silence
and darkness of midnight it is a
sound to thrill ones nerves, and
echo in memory for a life time.
l was once upon steamer
when this terrible cry rang
through the vessel, waking every
sleeper,and starting men and wo-
men out of their berths as from a
horrible dream. There were the
hoarse shouts of command, the
sudden cessation of the hugh en-
gines beating and throbbing, the
rafting of chains, as hurrying
hands lowering the Boat, the
splash of oars for a few seconds,
and then all was still. How

tones to our anxious inquiries,

every morning. There is often a
long drive to this spot, and the
cattle waiting for another, shiver
in the keen winds for an hour or
more, to get chance to drink
water at a temptemperature of 80
degrees. This ice-water is to be
warmed in the animals stomach
| by the combustion of hay and
grain. Ofcourse all the food con-
sumed in restoring this heat, lost
by exposure and the ice-water is
so muchwasted. If an OK drinks
three gallons of ice-water, when
he wastes all the carbon it would
take to raise three gallons of wa
ter from ~ degrees to 50degrees.
And this carbon is not in the
shape of Goals or wood, but in the
much more costly form of food.
We might estimate very accura-
tely just how much is lost every
day. But 1T matters very little
for the argument, for it is clear
that it costs not less than if the
fodder we're burned under a boil
er, and SO made to produce the
same effect. Every one can see
that this small daily loss amount
Ito a considerable sum in the
course of a foddering season of
six months, and this sum is mul-
tipled by the number of stock
kept, it amounts to an apprecia-
BILE share of the farmers fodder
and may make all the difference
between loss and profit in, years
operation. We want, if possible,
to have water for our cattle to
drink at the temperature of we'll
water, or a near to so degree S
as may be, and to have it brought
into the yard or into their man
gers. This may be done in sever
al ways, and the method to be
adopted is generally best dete-
mined by its cost. The cheapest
method is usually to introduce
spring-wster where a sufficient
fall can be had within a reasona-
bic distance. : aa7za
If the whole cost were $50 the
interest of that is but $35 annual

way in supplying labor at pump

price we want sprin G. water
