STRANDED LIVES.

One wild clustering night not many
years ago II stage-coach made q short
detour through one of the mountainous
regions of Pennsylvania, and stopped at
the house of the preacher. 1t was an
old brown house at the foot of n sterile
rock, seemingly as remote from civiliza-
ton as the heart of an Arabian desert.
The Rev. Paul Hume had already spent
here, so far as vitality went, the best
years of his life. He had been of late
glad to find the old rebellious longings,
the fierce ambition, even the fretting dis
content and latent hope for the future,
becoming more dim and dull, and he be-
gan to believe, as the years went by, he
would be able to live out those allotted
to him honorably at least, and in meas
ure resignedly. He had given up the
old foolish fondness for putting fire and
fervor in long Sunday discourse. He
was quite content that some of his con-
gregation should sleep quietly through
the sermon, and others ruminate over
whatever tleshly aggravation or joy that
was uppermost in their minds. Proba-
bly, his sole spiritual companion, even
in the degree suited to her capacity, was
his serving-woman Hagar-black,
straightforward, stoical and reticent,
but given 10 bursts of religious enthusi-
asm that in a measure relieved the dull
monotony of the life they lived there
alone together.
Hagar ought to have known her mas
ter better than To believe he would re-
fuse succor To any helpless fellow-crca-
TURF, and il was foolish for her to short
en- the chain that barred the door that
night in March when the driver of the
coach begged that they would take tenn
POrary care of a sick passenger. She
had been getting worse and worse, the
driver said, for the last ten miles, and,
"secin' there was no ho,el.nor hospital,
nor nothin' handy" he had made bold I
20 fetch her TO the parsons house. But

A Successful Flying Machine.

A Hartford Comm dispatch to the
Chicago Tribune says: The first sue.
cessful exhibition, it is believed, ever
given of flying machine comfortable
by an aeronaut without the use of bal
last or the waste Of gas was given here
this afternoon, in the presence of large
assemblage. The machine Is the inven-
ton of Prof. E. F. Richtel, of Bridge
port, Conn.,, who, after seven years Of
experimenting, has solved the problem
which has so long defied inventors and
scientists. Those who witnessed the ex-
hibition believe the right principle is
found, and that aerial navigation is only
question of time. Richtel's machine
differs from all previous inventions. It
embraces a balloon of horizontal, cyl
indrical shape, only twenty by twelve
feet, holding 5000 feet of gas, from
which, suspended by cords, is a narrow
framework, of hollow steel rods as long
as the balloon, and pointed at either end.
The operator sits in his seat at the centre
of the framework and turns crank,
which revolves a four-bladed air-propel-
Ter, inclined horizontally Immediately
beneath his seat, by which the balloon
is elevated or depressed at pleasure-the
propeller having a raising power Of six
pounds. At one end of the Frame
work is another air-propeller, inclined
vertically, bywhich the balloon may
be propelled against the resistance
of slight breeze, and also steered, the
wheel being of the steering propeller
model. With the operator on board the
entire weight slightly exceeds the lifting
power of the gas in the balloon, but this
deficiency is supplied by the propeller
under the seat. Although the conditions
were unfavorable this afternoon, it being
rainy, the exhibitor was eminently sue
cessful, rising to 100 feet. The opera
tors power of raising or lowering his
position was shown. Then he went off
eastward 100rods, turned around twice,
and, at signal from the inventor, start
ed back againsta slight breeze blowing,
and landed in the exhibition grounds
amid applause. After showing imme-
diately over the heads of the spectators
the ease with which the machine navi-
gated in any direction the exhibition was
terminated by heavy thunderstorm.
Prof. Richtel's claims appear to be well
based-that is, the machine will keep
moving in the air until the operator
wants to descend, is wholly independ-
ent of ballast, and suffers no waste ofgas.
Consequently, the machine will float for
an extended journey, is capable of reach
ing favorable air currents without loss
of power, and of coming to the ground
when desired. Two machines have been
ordered for exhibition purposes at Nj
agara Falls. rt..". 1890

The Texas and southern Pacifics.

IEThe fight in Congress over the
Texas Pacific is about to become in :
teresting. The Southern Pacific
Railroad Company have already
built several hundred miles of
road from a point on the Pacific
coast, and are ready 20 complete it
without Government aid, through to
the Gulf of Mexico, if only Con
gress will grant them a charter. The
Texas Pacific, on the other hand,
through Tom Scott, asks not only a
charter from the Government, but
guarantee of interest on thirty eight
millions of its bonds. The question
then, in its simplicity and purity, as
sumss this shape: Will the Gov
ernment permit the Southern Paeif-
ic to build the road by private en-
terpriss and without government
aid, or offer the Texas Pacific gov
ernnsnt credit IN order that it may
build it? Will the government, in a
word, get the benefits of another
railroad to the Pacific Coast for
nothing, or pay something to secure
them? There are thirteen members
of the House Committee on Pacific
Railroads, and seven of these want
the government to loan its credit,
while the other six desire to endorse
the Southern Pacific enterprise. As
at present advised, the argument
seems to be decidedly in favor of the
Southern Pacific proposition. There
is no reason why the government
should pay to obtain that which it
can obtain, without any expense,

Sitting Bull.
RumOrs of Combinations.

ST. PAUL, March 2O.-A dispatch
from Battleford, the capital of the
northwest Territory, to the Winnie
peg Pioneer Press, says there is
great excitement there over a new
rumor of the combination of Sitting
Bull with the Sioux, Blackfeet and
other Indians for an attack on the
settlement in the spring. This in
formation comes from a friendly
Greek. Another report from Cy.
press Hills, is that there is a camp
of 700 lodges of Sioux on the Sandy
Hills, 65 miles from Fort Walsh,
which is daily being augmented by
new arrivals, that there were four
wagon loads of cartridges arrived at
the camp q few days ago. He says
that the half-breeds are all leaving
the Cypress Hills and moving to-
ward Carlton, that the Nez Perces,
Little Blanket, Little Day, and
Blackfeet Indians have all formed a
treaty with Sitting Bull; that the
Blackfeet are on the Belly river, in
force; that it is not known what
these movements portend,. but it is
supposed an attack is to be made on
Cypress Hill and Fort Mcleod.
OTTAWA, March 2l.-Ths report
from Battleford, TO the effect that
Sitting Bull had formed an alliance
with the Blackfeet and other Indian
tribes Tor the purpose of attacking
the northwest settlement, is discred,
tied by the Government.

ERIE.

ry's war upon Erie, the more csrrain will
it be shown that his motive is TO cripple
the Company, that it may in the end be-
come the victim of the Atlantic and Great

If the public was net the most super
latiYely stupid element in American life,
it would not have needed to wait until
now for means of defining the motives
Of the great railway prostitute of America
and England. The Great Western Rail
way has been not only a mine of wealth to
McHenry, but source of corruption, the
moral stencil of which has in measure,
psrmeated the railway atmosphere of the
world to 3 most dangerous extent If
Erie could survive Gould and Fisk as it
did, it ought to overthrow McHenry and
Sickles without difficulty, and we doubt
not, but that when the Courts of New
York get fair insight as to the true in
wardness of that brace of eonspirators,
they will dismiss them in the most sum-
mary manner to the contempt they have
earned by a career Of moral turpitude and
crime which cause honest men to blush for

Nuts for Silver Men to Crack.

Congressman Sehlsiehsr of Texas -ecent-
" sent toone Of his constituents the follow
ing series Of questions, which win do to
pass along, as containing in a few words
the whole pith of the silver question:
81. Who pays the interest on the
National debt-the bondholder or
the taxpayer?
2. Whose advantage is it to get
the bonds placed at the lowest pos
sibIe interest-the bondholder's or
the taxpayers?
8. Is there any way. to get low.
interest other than by good credit ?
4. In what manner does nation
obtain good credit? Is it like an
individual, by two elements, viz. ::
Honorable dealing, and responsible
ty upon liens on property or upon
property subject to judgment and
execution; or is it by one element
alone, viz: honorable dealing, being
Judge in his own cause and not sub
ject to execution?
5. Why do the English pay only
8 per centum on their national debt,
while we pay for the greater part
of ours?
6. If we could reduce the inter
est oIf our debt (by elevating our
credit to the same rate as the En-
glish, how much would we save eve
ry year, and would that saving be
TO the 'bloated bondholder' or to the
taxpayer?
2. If we are too proud to learn
from the experience of our early his
tory and from that of other nations,
who has to pay the expense that we
incur by our pride-the 'blOated
bondholder' or the taxpayer?
s. After answering the above,
does it appear that the man who
pleads for honest dealing and good
credit, or very low interest, which is
all the same, is champion of the
'bloated bondholder,' or a champion
of the taxpayer ?'

Our Twenty-Fifth wedding Eve.
BY h. Z. JOHNSON.

Five times FIVE are the years, mother,
Measure the days as you will,
Since you and I as one, mother,
Began the ascent of the hill:
And now the summit is reached, mother,
'Tis well that we briefly stay,
A moment TO retrospect, mother,
A moment the other way.
Uur friends lang syne" are few mother,
One By one they have straysd.
A few to other homes, mother,
But most to the marblsd shade.
The new attachments formed, mother.
Must certainly briefer be,
As nears the streams of life, mother,
The shore of the limltleSs.
There are changes in you and in me,
mother,
In thought and feeling and ways,
Changes that come as sure, mother,
As come the feeting days.
The castles we've built ars wrecked, mother,
Their ruins about us lie;
'Tis left for us, though, to build, mother,
Enduring beyond the sky.
The fire of our ''grit" has cooled. mother,
Our ''angles are rounded and smoothed /;
Though as ''hsad" I've sometimes failed,
mother,
A glorious rib you have proved.
The Master has given us health, mother,
I've diEed a little, 'tls true;
Bet when the way has seemed dark, mother,
'Tis you who have lifted the ''blue."
The loved that haYe come to our home,
mother,
Our Will and Vesta and Fred.
As We gaze on their changing forms,
mother,
Speak most of the years that have sped;
The UIl-dreSs parade is gone, mother,
The little bed by our own;
Life's cares are on the taUo, mother,
The one to his teens" has grown.
l smile at your crown of gray, mother,
You laugh at my marks of the ''crow;"
Ali you're stitching with two pairs of
''specs, mother,
I'm swinging one by the bow;
Through glasses we darkly see, mother,
So down the hilllet US go;
In the ''eYening time" twill be light
mother,
Faith sets the future aglow.

Restoration of the Income Tax.

According to the dispatches from Wash
ington, the Ways and Means Committee,
after some delay, and we may suppose,
doubt and misgiving-agreed upon a bill,
for the restoration of the odious old in
come tax, modified perhaps, in some re-
spects from that which gave so much dis
satisfaction, under the Internal Revenue
law OF 1868. A feature Of this bill is Civ
en-, in-what is called, cumulative, which
means, for instance, that income of 81, 900
shall be exempt; those ranging from that
amount to $5,000 should be..r tax of 2
per cent; from $1,000 to $4,000, 8 per
cent; and beyond that amount per
cent; deducting taxes and rents from in
comes thus made up in gross. The re-
port no doubt, will be a specious one. but
we are told it will meet with favor, and
the attempt will be made to push the bill
through. Is it not little surprising
indeed incredibls-that in seven short
years, our lawmakers can have forgotten
how intensely unpopular was the income
tax? 1t was not so much because tax-pay-
ers objected to paying fair share of the
cost OF Government. as because our civil
servics is wretchsdly adapted to the col
lection ct 50 delicate and difficult a tax.
The inquisitorial exposure of the affairs Of
citizens, the necessity of laying the details
Of business before officers in whom they
had often no confidence, the general lack
Of discretion and privacy in the admins
tration Of the law, all these were powerful
causes Of discomfort. The authors OF the
bill make great mistake if they suppose
that this discomfort was confined to the
rich; it was much more general and bit
ter among those of moderate incomes,
and even among those who had no tax
but we're exposed to inquiry just the same.

TILDEN's INCOME.
A OeoisiOn I'm Favor Or,he .. $

Judge Blstchford of the United States
District Court gave decision on the 26th
inst. in the suit Of the United States
against Ex-Governor Samuel J. Tilden to
recover some $3.50, 900 income tax alleged
to be due to the Government by defendant.
The suit 1t will be remembered was brought
in the United States district Court when
Mr.. Tllden was the Democratic candidate
for President and it was alleged was only
brought for political purposes. The coun-
sci for Mr. Tidsn set up a demurrer. and
the case was argued at great length. Judge
Blatchford's decision is quite lengthy. He
sustains defendants demurrer 20 the first
count in complaint on the ground that in
fhe year covered by this count Mr.. Tilden
had made 8 return Of his income and paid
tax on such return. On the other eleven
counts in the complaint he sustains plain
tlffs fhe United States) in their demurrer
to the answer of the defence, holding vir-
tually that the Government was not bound
by the action of the United States Assess
or Us It's agent, and that Mr.. Tilden was
required 70 make himself q return OF his
income, which be had not done. The case
is now to proceed to trial bV iurv ON the
question of the amount of tbs Income of
Mr.. Tilden during the years in which he
made no return himself. In tbree vsars
Mr.. Tilden allowed the United STATE. As-
SCISSOR to make return and paid th0 fay
on such return, together with penalty of
five per cent, but this the court holds was
not sufficient, as will be seen by the dscis.
ion above. 1t is more than probable that
Mr.. Tilden's counsel will appeal the cas-,
to the United States Supreme Court.
