A Man who was too Sharp.

old JACOB J. was a shrewd mer-
" chant in Burlington, N. j., and,
like all shrewd men, was often little
too smart for himself.
An old Quaker lady of Bristol, Penn,
just over the river, bought some goods
at Jacobs store, when he was absent,
and in crossing the river on her way
home, she met him aboard the boat and,
as was usual with him upon such occa-
sions, he Immediately pitched into her
bundle of goods and united it to see
what she had been buying.
"Oh, now," says he, how much a
yard did you give for that, and that p"
taking up the several pieces of goods
She told him the price, without, how
ever, saying where she had purchased
them.
Oh, now," says he again, 81 could
have sold you those goods for SO much
a yard, }" mentioning price great deal
lower than she had paid. You know"
says he, " L can undersell everybody in
the place." and so he went on CRITICS.
ing and undertaking the goods till the
boat reached Bristol, when he was in
vited to go to the old lady's store, and
when there the goods were spread out
on the counter, and Jacob was asked to
examine the goods again, and say, in
the presence of witnesses, the price he
would have sold them at per yard, the
old lady, meanwhile, taking men,
orandum. She then went to the desk
and made out bill of the difference be-
| tween what she had paid and the price
he told her then coming up to him she
said.
Now, Jacob, thee is sure thee could
have sold those good at the price thee
mentioned ?''
"Oh, now, yes," says he.
well, then, thy young man must
have made a mistake; for L bought the
| goods from thy store, and of course, un-
der the circumstances, thee can have no
objection to refund me the difference"
Jacob, being thus cornered, could of
course under the circumstances, have no
| objection. 1t is to be presumed that
thereafter Jacobs first inquiry must
have been, "Oh, now, where did you
| get such and such goods ?h instead of
"Oh, now, how much did you pay ?"

Curious Detection of a Thief.

The wife of q well-known citizen re-
siding on Broad Street, Philadelphia,
entered her sleeping apartment late, one
night recently, after having returned
from an evening social, and was some
what annoyed at smelling whiskey.-
Knowing that liquor was not used in
the house, she became frightened, and
thought perhaps some intoxicated per-
son had entered the premises during her
absence. She called her husband and
another gentleman who were in the
parlor, and when they arrived an inves-
tigation of the room began. The hus-
band clawled under the bed, and while
cropping about his head came in contact
with something projecting from the un-
der part of the mattress. The latter
named article was removed, and, snugly
secreted between the Stats and ticking
was found O rough-looking man. When
discovered he sprang up, struck one of
the gentlemen stinging blow on the
forehead, drew revolver, rushed down
the front stairway, out of the door and
was lost in the dark. 1t was very evil
dent that the intruder was thief, who
knowing the lady had valuable jewels
in her possession, had secreted himself
with view of robbing her when she
retired for the night. Now comes the
important part the whiskey detective
acted. The fellow, whoever he was, had
carried bottle or flask in his pocket,
and the cork had fallen out, thus eaus-
ing the liquor to run out on the carpet
and warn the lady.

WAsmINGToN, Feb. 23--9 AS P NJ.
The caucus has just adjourned amid
intense excitement
a telegram from Ohio was read
quoting an editorial from the ohio
State Joup1i Hayes mouth,picce,
which declares that Packard and
Chamberlain must be sustained with
troops to the last. This article fol
lows Senator Sherman's conference
With Hayes, and is believed to indl
cate Hayes policy
The telegram produced greatrevul-
sion among conservative Democrats
and it is evident that unless it is made
apparent that Hayes disapprOves tina
article. the Democrats in the Hou, e
will postpone the count beyond Marct
4th. and offer the country bill pro-
vIdiug for a new election in Novem
Der, with hamilton Fish as PreSider'
pro TEN. Gordon believes the biz
will pass the Senate unless Hay s
disavows the proscriptive policy
Acorn openly procIaims that he will
vote for the new election bill if the
Journals article stands, IF the
House passes the election bill, the
Senate will be responsible for the an
archy. if it is disagreed to. Unle. s
some protest is made by Hayes
against the offending article the
House will certainly make the dec,
Iaration of Hayes election imposs
bic, and will pass a new election bill.
Washington is in more turmoil than
1T any time since the session opened
COnkIing and Nevada Jones are

IL there to be no end to the folly Of
legislation ? 1t is the history of taxa
ton the world over that an unjust bur-
den cannot he forced on any species OF
property, calling or profession. The
effort to do SO always produces less
revenue than a just aud equal tax.
The L. 5. collected less revenue
when the tax on whiskey was - 90
gallon than they do now at 80 cents
on the gallon, The passage of the
punch bill viii result in all manner
of frauds, evasiOns and bOttle.drink-
ing, and produce less revenue IL con
sequence than the present law. The
bOndhOlders have no confidence in
this bill or the dog law as means Of
raising revenue, still, as the Funders
have centred their last hope i'm them,
the Legislature would do well to pass
them, and let their utter impractica-
bility be demonstrated as soon as pos
sible. The sooner this is done the
sooner all Instructions to compro-
mise Of the debt will be gotten out OF
the way.
The Tennessee Legislature has wise
lY determined tn give the people Of
that State a respite from taxation by
declining to pay any interest !or the
present and reducing taxation. After
enjoying the luxury of dog law for
two years. they have repealed the law,
with only seven votes in the negative.

Its effects are as wonderful and as

1t restores gray or faded hair to it's

1t removes all eruptions, itching

cooling, soothing sensation of great

BY its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal

The Difference.

MI. Henry Tribe, who recently re-
turned to Ogden from Montana, re-
lates an incident of the Indian war,
which illustrates viyidly the difference
between Chief Josepl's and Freed
mems Bureau Towards principles.
The savage with his force arrived at a
ranch on their line of march, and took
such things as they wanted-butter,
principally-but left something behind,
and turned over two ponies to the pro-
prietor in payment. In order to make
the transaction ecure for the p~aleface,
he took the latter's branding iron, and
with his own hand placed the brand OF
the new owner upon the horses, and
then left. Howard came along in
pursuit shortly after; he took every
thing the ranchman had-butter, cheese,
eggs, etc, and wound up by confiscat-
ing the two ponies left by ChiefJoseph!
This is a fact, and is another illustra-
tion of the high moral character of the
asst Indian campaign and the nan who
led it.

What an Atlanta Man Said About Mr..

Dune. Doris, of the Nashville
American, was one of the press delega-
tion who came to Atlanta with the
President and his party. Among the
incidents of the visit he recalls the
following:
When Secretary Evarts arose to
speak at Atlanta a man in the crowd
remarked:
THAT face looks very familiar"
tBut he's a stranger said another.
lyon are mistaken sir. have had
the distinguished honor of having
known him all my life"
'sBut he lives in New York, and
you've never been out of Georgia."
laughingly responded the man.
sit makes no difference; l recognize
the face and that long slender form.
'I've seen him in Harper's Weekly a
thousand times. He thought he'd put
on cloth when he came down South.
I'd a recognized him heap sooner eff
he'd q wore his everyday clothes, but
may be he thought it wouldn't do TO go
through the country with them on"
"What kind of clothes does he
wear?'f
"a tall white beaver, a long white
necktie around n standing collar, n
billed shirt, striped vest and breeches,
and ~tolerably loose-litting Shoes"
He's travelling incog."
''Of course he is, and under an as
sumed name. Evarts amt his name?"
well, what in thunder is it then?"
Brother Jonathan. Can't you see
his %patronizing smile? I'd know that
face if l saw it in Jericho. II Atlanta
