ILLICIT WHIsKY.-1t is estimated that the
loss to the United States Treasury in revenue
from the illicit manufacture Of whisky, is
nearly two and half million dollars annu-
ally, the number of "stlls" doing business in
this way being moderately estimated at four
thousand. These stills are found in the most
thickly populated districts, as we'll as in un-
frequented places, out of the way of public
knowledge or travel, and in mountain fast.

"No; he killed ME !"

Cor WHAT he CALLED FoR.-Len Smiths
tavern at Waltham, Mass, used to be, in days
gone by, favorite stopping place for the
farmers, who, from farther up the road, were
accustomed to bring their truck to Boston for
a market. Some Of the knowing ones who
were ''little near" would manage to get
round Just about the time breakfast or dinner
was nearly over, and calling for "cold bite"
would be seated at the table and for half the
price of dinner would get as "square" a
meal as those who came early and paid full
price. One old chap, who had got his din.
ners in this manner for several months, and
who was never known to spend au unnecessary
cent in the house, was marked by the jolly
landlord for victim. On certain day in
the winter, when he was known to be coming
a boiled dinner was prepared and set out the
night before to cool. Punctually the next
day "Barkis' put in an appearance and call.
ed for a "cold bite" A goodly plate of
frozen beef, potatoes, etc., was set before him.
The first dab at potato with his fork sent
that article flying across the table, and
turnip SHE'D from under his knife quite as
rapidly. Feeling that he had been caugh
he worried through thoughtfully and silently.
Having finished his meal he walked up to
the bar (behind which was the smiling land
lord) to settle, and thus unbosomed himself:
"Look a. here, Len, I've been stopping at
your tavern to fodder for the last three
months, and I'll be hanged if to-day amt
the first time I've ever got what l called tor." ;"

WASHINGTON.
Secretary Evarts' Complaints against
Canada.

WASHINGTON, November Z.
Secretary Sherman has addressed to Evsrts an
official communication setting forth the injustice
OF the Canadian authorities In debarring Ameri-
can seamen from receiving the reward which is
given to captains and crews of vessels com ing to
the relief OF vessels in Distress and towing them
to place of safety. This position of the Cana
dias authorities is based on the rights which it is
claimed belong to the sesmen of each nation in
the waters of the water. of their own country.
1t is therefore insisted that rewards of such SER
vice in Canadian waters belong exclusively to
Canadian seamen.
As this distinction is not observed in American
waters, our seamen are naturally indignant that
they should be refused the reward Of their brave
ry the ground that they are not seameu.
The Secretary ia his letter points out the Gus
tom that has always prevailed in this respect, and
submits the matter to the department of State to
be brought to its attention.

apprehensions that the caprice of the democrs-

iators and ruinous policy. Now, as often before,
the good sense Of American people has come to
the rescue just in time to save the country from
the consequences Of party laundering and immor-
ality of professional politicians.
