THREE QUEsTIoNs.-Since his return to

of these questions which are as follows ::

The Cars DILEMMA Car went
to war ostensibly for the protection of the
so-called christians " of the Turkish
provinces. As soon rs he entered Bulgaria
these Christians began cutting the throats
of all the Moslems they could get at, and
did their utmost to prove to the world
that if the balance of brutality had pre-
viously rested with the Turks, it was so
only because the Christians had not had
an opportunity to illustrate their faith by
their own works In fact the conduct of
the Bulgarian Christians has given an air
of CHASTITY mockery to the purpose of the
war. Nothing can be clearer than that
they are in ali respects IS rufiianly, cruel
and ferocious as their Ottoman rulers, and
that for all the Christianity about them
they might Just as well be Fijis. Precisly
What obligation rests upon Christendom
to protect or to perpetuate such a breed
of savagcs, it is not easy to perceive. What
is, however, perfectly apparent, is, that
the pretense of religious excIse for the
attack upon Turkey is monstrous fraud,
and that all talk Of the Russians as repre-
senting Christianity in this ugly business
had better be abandoned by those who
wish to preserve a reputation either for
sincerity or consistency. Christianity has
about as much in common with the Bull
garians as it has with the Thugs or tine
Assassins, and it is straining tolerance al
together too far to expect men in these
days to accept such preposterous excuses
for war which was really one of selfish
aggression and state greed, and which
ought not to be allowed TO masquerade
under a wretched canting pretense of re-
Egious sentiment and human sympathy.

A TARIFF FOB REvENuE.-Ths only
proper purpose Of tariff is the Obtain
ment of the revenues necessary for the
support of government. Whenever a tarin
is organized for protection it ceases to
produce the highest results in revenue,
and becomes oppressive and unjust to all
unprotected classes. 1t must be readiiy
perceived by any citizen, however unfa-
miliar with the science of political econo-
my that, in the practical adjustment OF a
tariff for revenue, the only true ana JUST
principles require that all duties shall De
low, because moderate imposts produce
more revenue than high and protective
imposts; and that the number OF dutia-
ble articles shall be small, because sum
cient revenues can be thus secured, with
infinite less expense in collection, or IN
jury to the general interests Of produc-
ton, or intricacy, fraud, and jugglery IN

the least burdensome duties shall be I'M
posed on all kinds of imported raw ma
terials, because thereby domestic INDUS
try will most effectuaily be aided and en-
couraged, and domestic production least
burdened and best enabled to compete
successfully in all the markets OF the
world and that the highest duties shall
be imposed upon imported articles OF lux

| shall be always moderate and made to
bear constant reference to the production
of reasonable revenue, because if such
duties are high, or protective, or prohibl-
tory, they tend constantly and powerfully
to build up monopolies, unduly encour-
age favorite classes, unjustly. increase
prices to the advantage of the few and
the oppression of the many, excessively
stimulate production, and divert capital
from more useful and legitimate enter
prises, and encourage and unite improper,
selfish and corrupt influences to control
legislation, and override the interests and
rig hts of the people; and that reasonable
duties imposed upon articles, which can
not Reproduced toany extent in the coun-
try, yield more revenue upon the amount
of capital engaged in their importation,
and aggravate domestic prices of other
commodities less, and therefore injure
the people less, than any other, because
all the additions to the prices of such ar
ticles made by the tariff are actually paid
into the treasury, and never go into the
pockets of monopolists or government IA

4 Devil of u Story.

On Sunday, the 18th of April, in
the town of Maple Grove. in Manito-
woe county, il is reported a singular
and fatal occurrence took place and
happened in this wise: II being sun
day, the people of the neighhorhood
had generally gone to church, leaving,
"a il generally the custom, only one
or two of family at home to guard
the house and premises. The names
of the partie. to the tragedy were not
given 10 Us, but at the particular
house where ii occurred only a boy of
about l. years was at home. Some
time during the absence of the family,
"A man came to the hoase completely
cnyelopel in a beef hide, with horns,
tail and all complete, and so fitted
that nothing else could he seen. II
was known in the neighborhood that
the occupants Of this house had mon
ey, and there was there at the time
about 500. The object disguised in
the hide told the boy that he was the
devil, and that he had come after his
money, and he must give it to him,
The boy then stepped into the house
as if he was about To comply, but in
stead of bringing the money he
brought gun and shot the man dead
in his tracks. The boy then ran tc
the nearest neighbor, and finding on

shot the devil at his house. The
woman went with the boy, and found
that the devil whom the boy had shot
was her husband. Wheter she had
any knowledge or not of her husband
being out on such an expedition and
was privy to il, was not known. -

Badly ventilated churches do mol
speak well for our modern civilization.
Initiated air Is frightful demon
alizer. II causes Deacon Quirk to
sleep. George Quirk snoozes too, and
Susie Quirk cannot keep awake, and
Mrs. Quirk comes home from church
with headache. The preacher sees
what half the congregation cannot
see, that they are asleep; and not
knowing it is all owing to bad air, he
comes home discouraged. How poor
ventilation has stayed the Lords
work. How it has transformed good,
earnest preaching into theological
hail-storms Bad air i'm church Is
hard on the preacher, und death to
the average prayer-meeting." 1t is
toobad thatarchitects so lamentably fail
nj times To furnish free air for church
es, and that, too, when the supply
continues abundant, and there is nc
tax on breathing. If every cubic foot
OF air only cost something, we should
have only the pure article. Give us
fresh air, . sexton, or we die.

BARRIERS often assert that raIors get
tired of shaving, and that they will
perform satisfactorily if permitted TO
rest for IA time. 1t has been found by
microscopic examination that the tired
razor, from long stropping by the same
hand aud in the same direction, has
the ultimate fibers of its surface or
edge all arranged in one direction, like
the edge of a piece of cut velvet; but
after a months rest these tibers rear
range themselves heterogeneously,
crossing each other and presenting a
saw-likc edge, each fiber supporting
it. fellow, and hence cutting the beard
