use Of the article in the United States since
1845, when only $4,000 tons of it was used. In

And now word to the New York liquor

satisfied that the punch is the very thing for
the liquor seller. 1t benefits him in many
ways:
l. 1t is a check upon his bartender. Just
as it is on the car-conductor.
2. It enables him to raise the price of
every drink of whisky and apple-jack FIVE
cents, of which sum he pays only one-half
to the State.
B. 1t puts an end to the credit system.
4. By buying tax receivable coupons at 81
cents on the dollar and paying them into the
treasury at par, he makes the bondholder
pay him SO per cent. for collecting his cou-
pons.

Political Economy at Fault.

N. Y. Correspondence Boston Herald
good story is told of Horace White, late
editor of the Chicago Tribune, and politi-
cal economist of no little reputation. He is
living here now, and having taken an apart
ment in Union square. he wished to buv fur
niture for it. Seeing advertisement in
one of the morning papers Of gentleman
who was going to Europe, and therefore de-
sirous of disposing of his household goods,
he conceived this to be his opportunity. The
things were to be sold at auction from the
gentleman's residence, and White was there
in good season. He purchased over $1,000
of furniture, and believed he had got it at
bargain, until an old New Yorker Informed
him that the sale was an auctioneer's
ruse-a very familiar one
the fellow having hired the
dwelling for the occasion in order to get off
to advantage an inferior lot of snowy, second
hand furniture. The journalist was not, as
may be inferred, particularly delighted with
the information, though he was forced to
admit it's truth. Since then he has been en-
gagged in re-selling the precious furniture,
having at one time, in fit of vexation. Of
fered the whole lot for $40 He lost about
5000 on the transaction; but he has gained
something more valuable than money by his
experience.
Horace White may be able to elucidate the
ultimate effect of direct and indirect tax
alton, and show in what the true wealth of
nations consists; but he connot be expected
to distinguish between a veri-
table sale of a gentleman's house
hold goods and notorious mock
auction. We can all manage other peoples
affairs better than our own. You remember
the story of the man thrown INTO debtors
prison in London early in the century, who
employed his time in writing an essay upon
the sole method to pay off the national debt
of Great Britain; but for his life he could
not raise the E1O0 for the want of which he
had been deprived of his freedom.
White is understood to be preparing an
elaborate article, wherein he takes the ground
sustained by his recent experience, that all
obligations incurred by able political econo-
mists to mock auctioneers should be dis
charged in silver coin.

The Mofet Bell-P,tach.
Correspondence New York World. I

RICHMOND, Jan. 26.--Every man who
holds a Virginia bond is deeply interested in
the successful working of the Mofett bell
punch, than which no machine is SO unin-
termittingly, or so proftably worked in Vir-
ginia at this time. It is and deservedly
ought to be, the most popular thing in the
State; for really it benefits everybody except
such bartenders as are not strictly honest
towards their employers. For those benight-
ed persons who don't know what manner of
thing | am writing about, will say
that it is a little movable metallic box, about
three inches wide and as many deep, and
about six inches long. and is of the genus
bell-punch. Every man who sells liquor
five gallons or less-is required to keep one,
and to register by it the number of drinks
or gallons of liquor which he sells, and to pay
the State certain tax on such sales, the tax
being one cent for every drink of malt IL
quor, and two and one-half cents for all
other liquors, I believe, the iquor-selle
being thus made to collect the tax for the
State from the consumer. I need not say
that the curiosity to see chow the thing
works. keeps the machine in pretty constant
operation, to the manifest delight of all peo-
pie who are dependent upon the State
treasury for their daily support, and

SAN FRANCISCO VS.. BROOKLYN.


There Ought to be a He'll Just to Accom-
nodate Beecher.
San FRANCISCO, Jan. 21-The Rev. Henry
Ward Beecher's new conundrum has reached
US, and the parsons. grasping with avidity at
a text, came out. one and all, with an opinion
last Sunday.
They all chung to their colors manfully.
The orthodox preachers made the delectable
place in question bluer and hotter than ever
The others felt themselves backed up by
orthodoxy when the great Beecher dared to
scout at it from Plymouth pulpit, and placed
it in the list of bugaboos for intractable
children.
The Rev. John Hemphill, of Calvary Pres
byterian Church. came out little stronger
than the others, and claimed that if there
was not such place as He'll there ought to
be. If constructed for no other reason. it
should Immediately and forthwith be set up
for the accommodation of Henry Ward
Beecher, who seemed to strike him as the
fittest inmate.
There is no one who should better under
stand the temptations of popular clergy
man than this plain speaker.
He is the Adoins of the pulpit in San Fran
cisco. He comes in the category of hand
some men, and, being an Irishman, there is
something of Celtic impetuosity in his ser
mons, in word, he is the fashion.
His pews were long filed with rows of
ianguishing young ladies who cast eyes of
worship no further than the pastors pulpit
He rudely dispelled all the dreams of his
parlshioners two OF three years ago by we'd
| ding worldly widow. a woman of fashion
with pretty fortune.
His congregation. not to put too fine a
point upon it, kicked. But the reverend
gentleman knew what he was about, and the
elegant hospitality dispensed in his house
hold may have had as much to do with the
complete conversion of the congregation as
the charms of mind and person of the lady.
1t is noticeable, since his marriage, that
Mr.. Hemphill expresses himself even more
forcibly than in the days of his bachelor
hood. In fact, it must be easier to preach
when there is no element in the audience
which it is no longer necessary to conciliate.
He deals with all the leading questions of
the day, and when there is no leading cues
ton especially up for consideration he
utilizes the spare time in pitching into the
heresies of Rome. This is his hobby, and
he clngs to it as the 1Nazeppas cling to the
wild steed of Tartary.
1t is unnecessary to say of such man that
his entire congregation agrees with him alb
solutely on the subject or Henry Ward
Beecher.
Yet we are to have Beecher in April. and
already they are be inning to think of re-
served seats.

HOPE.

Hope deferred maketh sick
And yet how sweet to hope.
Though failing oft the joy to clasp,
We hope again and loue to hope
Each disappointment seems excuse
For hoping newly and more fondly-
Excuse? Yes more than this, than hope
In all the realms of Earth and air
Nought so prolific so reproductive,
Where ere a hope lies down to die
From out the embers that expire
Awakes another in just as fair attire,
And thus the dear SUGGESTIONS last,
Like days and years and months they pass
Yes, to day. the times and skies all favor,
But 10! The sun declines, keep still my heart
10 ,'aorroao, yes. to-'no,roao, twill surely be.
And thus as childhood chaseth butterflies
We elders chase in ripper years
Each seeming favoring circumstance
And hope that each new change
OF Times most tickle shifting scenes
Will be for us more opportune
And grant at last the cherished boon.
