Free Tea and Coffee.

The bill for the repeal of The duties
on tea and coffee was taken up in the
House of Representatives on Monday,
38. This action of the House is sig
nifcant ofthe disposition ofthe House
to take the business of tariff legislation
into its own hands, without awaiting
the slow movements of the Ways and
Means Committee. The repeal of the
duties on tea and coffee is protective
measure, and strikes heavy blow at
the doctrines of the revenue reform
ers." The tariff on these articles is
for revenue only, and it's removal will
forbid the reduction of the tariff on
coal and salt, and iron and cotton
manufacturers, and articles of Ameri
can production. The receipts from
duties on coffee for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1871. were $10,969, ,098.-
II; and from tea during the same
period So, ,322, 1894. 81 or total from
both articles of $19, ,292, ,c9S.44. But
the revenue will not bear a reduction
of more than forty or fifty millions,
and when the internal taxes are limited
to whisky, tobacco and stamps, or
better still to the two former alone, it
will be seen that no material reduction
of the tariff on protected articles will
be possible. The emphatic vote of the
House shows which way the tide is
setting, and we hope the Senate will
concur with the vote of Tuesday and
strike the tariff off these two articles
of prime necessity and constant use
among all classes Of the people. The
tax on tea and coffee is paid entirely
by the consumer. the poor paying by
far the larger part, since the poor are
the many and the rich are few; while
the duties on protected articles pro
duced and manufactured in this coun-
try, are paid chiefly if not wholly by
the foreign manufacturer. Let the
American consumer be relieved and the
foreign producer taxed for the privil-
ege Of our market.-[Cleveland Leader

WHo Is OLD?- wise man will
never allow himself TO go to crust"
AS long as he can move and breathe,
he will be doing for himself, his neigh
hors, or for posterity. Who is old? !?
Not the man of energy, not the day
laborer in science, art, or henevolence,
but he only who suffers his energies to
waste away, and the springs of his
life to become motionless; on whose
hands the hours drag heavily, and to
whom all things wear the garb of
gloom.

Important to Travellers and Mar
ried Women.

A case involving the somewhat
novel and heretofore unsettled point.
whether or not the title to the para
phernalia of a married woman risides
in her or her husband, has lately been
decided by the Court of Appeals of
this State. The plaintiff was Doretha
Rawson, who brought suit in her own
name to recover $4,000 for the loss
of clothing and jewelry by an accident
on the road of defendants, the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company. The de-
| PENDANTS claim that the bulk of the
property having been received by
plaintiff from her husband, belonged
to him, and the suit should therefore
have been brought by him, and that
the terms of the contract { the ticket
limited the Company's liability to
800. The plaintiffs S counsel claimed
that the property was hers, both as
against her husband and ordinary
creditors, and that the carrier cannot
limit his liability except by express
contract. The Court of Appeals, in
affirming the judgments Of the courts
below, held, first, tnat though at com
mon law the wife's psraphernelia, dur
. ing CON0EbuFS. OfulndrIIy belonged &c
the husband, and he can dispose oi
them, except by will, the statutes have
secured them to her even as against
creditors. In equity, the property
given would be treated as the wife''
separate estate, and she would be pro
; tected in its enjoyment and possession
even against the interference of hel
husband. This estate, if not absolute
1y legal estate, is clothed with all thu
incidents thereof, and she is therefort
the proper person to sue. Second
the words printed on the ticket do no
. embody the contract between the par
ties. They are mere notice, but on
; ~ by contract. Plaintiffs attention
was not called to these words whel
!. the ticket was purchased by her; ant
even if she read them when she en-
tered on her journey, she was no
obliged to submit to contract neve
made, or leave the train. Hence tn
carriers common law liability remain
unchanged.-M Y. Observer.

DON'T Be Too Sensitive.

There are some people, yes many
people, always looking out for Sights
They cannot carry on the daily inter
course of the family without some
offense is designed. They are as
touchy as hair triggers. If. they
meet an acquaintance in the street
who happens to be preoccupied with
business, they attribute his abstrac-
ton in some mode personal to them
selves, and take umbrage accordingly.
They lay on others the fact of their
irritability. A fit of indigestion makes
them see impertinence in every one
they come in contact with. limo
cent persons who never dreamed of
giving offence are astonished to find
some unfortunate word or momentarY
taciturnity mistaken for an insult
To say the least, the habit is unfor-
tunate 1t is far wiser to take the
more. charitable view of our fellow
beings, and not suppose a slight is
intended unless the neglect is open
and direct. After all, too, life takes
| its hues in a great degree from the
color of our mind. If we are frank
and generous, the world treats us kind
tly. If on the contrary we are suspi-
cious, men learn to he cold and eau
tious of u.s. Let a person. get the
reputation of being touchy, and every
body sunder more or less constraint,
and in this way the chances of an i'm
aginary offence are vastly increaseds

horses came tumbling down the hill, The
following persons were in the wagon
Mr.. and Mrs. Barnhardt, and their son, u

but Mr.. Bsrnhardt assured US those were
the only ones in the wagon. AS they
reached a point about two.thirds of the
way down the hill, directly above the
Crescent mill office, the hind wheels Of
the wagon slid around going over the
embankment. This Of course drew the
wagon and horses after and all came
ttumbling down together. Most of those
in the wagon jumped out, but Miss Karue
was unable to do so and she was
carried down with the wagon, which
came to level place about halt
way down the hill and lodged
there. Mrs. Karue was under the wagon
and upon being taken out it was found
that she was badly hurt, one leg and arm
being broken. One horse becoming dis.
engaged from the wagon, came rolling
down to the bottom OF the hill. The
other was cut loose, and then the wagon
followed the first horse, landing down by
the Crescent Mill office. The passengers
were then gathered up and taken to their
home at the Washington Brewery, in
North Wheeling. Mrs. Barnhardt was
found TO be pretty badly bruised, and
Mrs. Karue was badly cut and bruised
about the head, besides having her limbs
broken. The party had been attending a

hurt.
