WHAT A MISPLACED COMMA DID.

The comma {. that little dot which
is a very insignificant thing to the eye,
sometimes plays an important part in
language. Though the rules for its
use, like its relative, are somewhat OBJ
scure, nevertheless its function in some
cases is very clear and of considerable
moment, as has been discovered in q
law Of Congress passed in 1872. In
the tariff Dill which went into effect
that year there was large addition to
the free list, and among the articles
added were "fruit plants, tropical aud
semi-tropical," designed to encourage
their importation and cultivation. But
in the process of engrossing or tran.
scribing the bill to be officially print
ed, comma was interpolated between
fruit and plants, whereby all fruits
were put on the free list. The cus.
toms officers. if they minded their p's
and qs," did not mind the comma,
aud went on collecting their duties.
At length some lynx-eyed importer
discovered the com MA, and demanded
that it should be recognized, and the
customs officers had to stand on the
order of Prosody and pass fruits free.
The result has been that about SO, ,000,.
600 have been illegally collected
through this interpolated comma, at
which Uncle Sam will have TO stop
and count more than one, and refund.
The Ways and Means Committee will
report bill to expunge the comma,
and thus remand fruit back TO the list
of dutiable articles. This will prove
a most expensive comma. .-Harrisburg

YOUTHFUL SUICIDE.

Jerome Pinney, Jr., "a son of Mr..
Jerome Piuney, of Thompson. Ohio,
ten years of age, committed SUICIDE un
the 23d. The particulars of the sing.
nlar tragedy are thus given by the
Geneva Times The boy was ut school
on Friday, and at noun got into. an
alteration with one of his mates,
when both drew knives, making passes
at each other, one report stating that
young Pinney cut the other boy
slightly. After the affray MAS oyer
the other boys told Pinney that he
would have to be shut in prison for
what he had done, and afterwards told
him that the boy was dead, aud he
would be hung for using bis knife as
he did. 1t is without doubt true that
the expectation of being hupg wss
firmly fixed in the boys mind, and
drove him to seek bis own life, what
ever version may be given to the cir.
cumstances preceding the rash act. 1t
appears that the boy went into school
after the f,acas, but got dismissed
about half-past two, p. NJ, aud went
towards home, bidding some of the
scholars good-bye as he left. with the
remark, You will never see me again"
The boy went home, passed to The
room where he aud his father slept,
unubserved by any one, took his faith
ers revolver from ite hiding place in
the bed aud left the house. His mother
heard u shot but thuught nothing #
it as they were in the habit of fro nt,
ly shooting at mark on The PROMISES.
When they came from school they in
qnired for Jerome and lelated his AL
ventures al scho, t. his father, and
the circumstances of his leaving before
the hoLr for dismissal. The father at
once made search for the boy. aud
found hin, dead in the barn with the
revolver by his side and partly under
him. He had put the muzzIe 10 his
head just back Of the ear. nn the right

"When he became entargled. His
