THE AMERICAN TITLE OF "M1srER.-One
of the New York papers having uttered q
serious protest against the American fash
ion of prefixing the title of Honorable" to
the names of merlin public positions the
sharp edged Richmond Enquirer cries edit
to to Mr.. Burke" aud discourses thus, with
an anecdote thrown in:
We have had a strange love for that
simple but manly title of " mister" ever
since va were able to distinguish between
true worth and mere pretension. We can
not say it was innate OF intuitive, but it
came to us through our devotion to our
boyhood's hero, a gallant officer of the
army, long since dead, and who, alas fell
by his own hand in fit of hereditary in
sanity at Fortress Monroe long before be
was forced to decide between his State and
country. It was at the close of the Mexi-
can war, when most of the officers were
receiving brevet titles. We happened 10
be present, and tolerated by them as a
mere boy, when discussion arose among
them as to titles. Onr favorite and Mentor,
whose words were then QUIZ oracles, and
who had received brevet for gallant and
meritorous services said "The true title
of an American gentleman is Mister. 1t
is when worthily worn above any that can
be conferred by prince or potentate, or
won by military or civic services and
while shall deserve the respect of men so
far as to merit that title, equi distant from
disgusting familiarity and servile hattery,
am content.n From that time we have
set high value upon Our only American
title OF nobility-that simple, but express
sive title word Mister

SMALL PowER.-The latest triumph of
0eChanical Ingenuity is a new power mac
Aine for the purpose of driving sewing
machines and other light machinery. The
Invention consists of two shafts, with four
steel springs coiled upon each, aud count
OF shaft with cog wheels so arranged as to
permit the application of the whole OF
part of the power, as may be desired. The
Winding shaft has a grove to receive slide,
which catches one spring at time in wind
ing. Not more than a quarter of a minute
- required to wind each spring, while the
eombined power will run the machine at
fall speed for an hour and quarter. The
lashtest possible pressure upon the foot
asst stops the machine, and the removal
Of the foot starts it instantly. The turning

An Irish Sailors Trick.

Three men-of-war. ships-namely,
Dutch French and Eaglish-while
anchored in port, were contending with
each other for the best display of sail
orship; so the captain Of each vessel
determined to send aloft an active sailor
to perform some deed of grace and
daring. The Dutch captain sent a
Dutchman, the French a Frenchman,
and the English an Irishman.
The Dutchman stood on the top of
the mainmast with his arm extended.
The Frenchman then went aloft and
extented both arms.
Now the Irishman thought that if
he could stand on the top of the main
mast with a leg and an arm extended,
he would be declared the most daring
sailor. Nimbly he clambered aioft
until he reached the highest point
there he carefully balanced himself on
both feet, extending his right hand
with graceful motion Then he threw
out his left leg until it came In line
with his right arm. In doing this he
ingloriously lost his balance, and fell
from the masthead, crashing through
the rigging toward the deck. The va
rious ropes against which his body
came in contact broke his fall, and his
velocity was not too great to prevent
his grasping rope attached to the
mainyard. To this he hung for two
seconds, then dropped lightly to the
deck, landing safely on his feet. Fold
ing his arms triumphantly, as if the
fall was in the programme, glanced to-
ward the rival ships and jOyously ex-
claimed:
There, ye frog-aiting and sassige-
stuffed furriners, bate it if We can

CRITICISING.

A newspaper, says the Mobile Reg
lister, may be made popular with large
class of people, but it can not be so
edited or so arranged as to please eve
rybody. In fact, you could not always
please the same person, even though
you make it rule to give him to-day
the very kind of reading he liked yes
terday. Too much depends on the
state of ones feelings. as Influenced
by surrounding circumstances, for that;
or, in other words, too much depends
on the mood governing when one reads.
The brain, like the stomach, often
demands change of diet. To go into
the prosy details of metaphysical ques-
tions when we are gloomy and despOnd-
ing is sort of mental suicide, yet there
are times when dry details are not of
fensiye. What would be thought of
the minister who INDUCED in coarse
Jokes and grOtesque grimaees over the
body of a corpse? What would be
thought of politician who INDUCED
in funeral remarks to a crowd of en-
thusiastic voters on the eve of an i'm
portant election? The very idea of
such folly exeltes in our mind the
thought of the ridiculous; and yet we
occasionally find ourselves placed in a
position not less antagonistie to our
feelings, and hence we often tire of
that which, at other times, would seem
really grand.
There are times when We love to read
poetry Just as we love to hear music !;
but to be forced to read the one, or lis
ten to the other, against our iDeliDa-
ton is to bore us most effectually. So
we think in regard to newspapers. If
we are in the humor, we love to read
a tale. or hairbreadth escape by land
or sea; at other times we would inf
nitely prefer the gossip of the editor,
while still at other times there is call
for something more exciting and sensa
tional, and then we turn to the news
department and read accounts of the
latest tragedies and disasters.
We argue from this that no one can
safely criticise newspaper because it
does not happen to be exactly agrea-
bic to him in all its features at any
particular time. He must consider that
the portion making up the variety
which does not please him, is, most
likely, pleasing to hundreds Of others.

To Have Apples Every Year.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune tells three ways of having
apples every year: sa ru
/. Take scions from tree in 1873,
and put them into a good thrifty tree
and do the same in 1874, and you will
get fruit in alternate years.
2 If you cut off the thrifty trees the
growth of 1873 in the last of June,
leaving three or four buds that would
come on in 1874, you would force out
the next years buds and gain one
year.
3. If you remove all the blossoms on
one-half of your trees in the bearing
year, you will have fruit on that one
half the odd year. These things L
have done successfully. | have now
in bearing the Victory apple Of the
odd year produced in this way next
year the scions Of the last year will
bear in the regular year

WHOLE NO. 1883. vasr
who Saws II is Not a Good Law,

We direct the attention of our read
ers to the tax aggregate Of Dyer county,
which we publish in another column
OF to-day's issue. 1t will be seen by a
comparison of the present aggregate
with that Of 1872, that the new assess
ment law has done all that was hoped
it would do. We find BY comparison
that the valuation of land In Dyer
county for 1913 is $3,214,14S. while it
was only g, ,679, 139 in 1872, an increase
of over half million of dollars. The
total value Of town lots for % IS S23.-
734 against sl9S,656 in 1872. Total
valuation of all property in 70 is 81
02,0S0 against $3,09l 1896 in 1872
Total taxes in the year 1873 are $40
40 against s26. .430 in 1872. This DEM
onstrates the good of the new assess
ment law. 1t is the best law ever
given 10 the State. We heard a GEN
tleman who voted against DR.. Harris
last fall for Representative, say the
other day that at first be was opposed
to the new assessment law, but that
now, if DR.. Harris should become a
candidate for reelection he would vote
for him for the prominent part he took
in the passage OF this law. And be
expresses the sentiment of the people
all over the State. They condemned
the law very bitterly at first, but they
now acknowledge it to be the best
thing for the State since the war. If
the anti-funders make denunciation
of this law plank in their platform,
they will be the saddest party this side
of the graye.-Dgersbura Proaress.

The Var Ship Of the Future.

The London Times has the follow
ing: The preparation of designs for
the war ships of the future is making
considerable progress, and the applica-
tion of the science of hydraulic to the
art of gunnery will in these designs
receive considerable development, and
prove in practice of very great assis-
tance in facilitating the working and
loading the monster weapons with
which the turrets of the iron-elads
will be armed. These guns will far
surpass the most powerful artillery at
present in existence-the Woolwich
Infants, of thirty five tons weight, and
a bore of twelve inches in diameter,
and the great guns which Krupp is
now making for the Germans being
alike eclipsed by the new weapon,
which will have bore of nearly tif-
teen inches, and weigh sixty tons.
These guns will be built upon the sys-
TEN which originated and has now
been in such successful operation at
the Royal gun factories, Royal arsenal, !,
Woolwich, for several years-by coil
upon coil of wrought iron and steel
tube system which insures the great
est possible strength and immunity
from danger of bursting, and practi-
cally imposes no limit TO the size of
the guns. They will be fitted with a
movable breech- loading arrangement.
The Woolwich Infant will throw a
700-pound shot six or seven miles; the
new gun will hurl projectile weigh
ing 100 pounds, half ton, over a
range which has yet to be determined.
As the antithesis of this enormous
gun, the new steel mountain gun has
just been placed in the model-room OF
the Royal gun factories. This gun
weighs 200 pounds, but it can fire a
shell of seven pounds with good eff
feet up to 1900 yards, and with its
little carriage is designed to be con-
veyed on the backs of mules, for which
paek-saddles are speedily constructed
1t is also admirably adapted for boat
service.
