How Mr.. Brown Saved Himself from
Being Eaten.

Correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin.l
One of the wealthiest settlers in New
Caledonia is a gentleman from Austria
lia-we will call him Mr.. Brown for
short-who went there some ten or
twelve years ago with but small capital,
and has become enormously rich by
raising cattle for the markets of Nou-
mea. Mr.. Brown was on his way
through the bush from one of his out
lying cattle stations to another, when
he lost his way entirely; wandered
about till near nj ightfall, and then came
upon a large native village. Here he
was Hospitality entertained, well fed, and
most deferentially treated by the great
chief whose village it was-the chief
Atai, l think, whom some persons regard
as the chief mover and leader of this
years revolt against the French. Atai
was all courtesy to his white guest, and
when night had fully come, conducted
him himself in state to the hut set
apart for his nights repose.
Fortunately, Mr.. Brown was ac-
quainted with the customs of the
country, and among them, knew the
common method of putting an end to
travellers, preparatory to feasting upon
them. 1t is as follows: The traveller is
kindly received; nothing occurs to
shake his confidence in his host; he is
allotted cabin to himself to sleep in.
The native huts have usually but one
opening, which serves as a door and
window both. When the traveller is
supposed to be we'll settled in his cabin,
this entrance is set on fire. Being
matched and made altogether of light
wood, it burns very readily, and the
traveller is cooked as well as killed
Then the feast begins.
Being acquainted with these details
of New Caledonian life. Mr.. Brown
knew the cabin to which the venerable
Atai so courteously led him might
probably become for him both tomb
and a cooking stove unless his wit;
could save him. He entered the cabin
of the chief, meeting courtesy with
courtesy, till they were fairly within
Then Brown, in the prime of life and
athletic, Atai old and infrm, the English
man knew he was more than a match fol
the savage. He closed the deor within the
hut, planted his back firmly against it
and sitting thus with his hand on hi
revolver and other weapons ostenta
tiously displayed, continued his conver
sation with the chief. The situation re
mained unchanged throughout the night
A terrible night it was, no doubt, fo
the Englishman, and almost as bad fo
the old chief, who again and again re
quested permission to withdraw, Mr
Brown as frequently declaring he coulC
not part with him-he should not fee
safe except in his company. Whel
daylight had fully come, Mr.. Brown fel
assured that Atai would not venture t
allow his people openly to attack an in
dividual so well known in the settle
ments as himself, and both issuing fort
together from the hut, he gladly az
cepted the escort of native guide an
was safely conducted to the French Sc
: Elements, where his adventure was th
: theme of considerable interest.

As a specimen of typographical blum
iers, there is the following, among 9th
ers By the insertion of one letter in
place of another, newspaper not long
since reporting the danger an express

safest way, the engineer put on full
stean, dashed up against the COW. and
literally cut it into calves"

An Iowa Innkeeper in Jerusalem.
Davenport Gazette.l

A gentleman in this city gave infor-
asm that is very interesting. Some ten
years ago Mr.. Jonathan Brinton, of
Washington, Iowa, became possessed of
an idea that he was commissioned by the
Saviour to open an inn near Jerusalem,
and so become pioneer in the work of
rebuilding ana Christianizing the Holy
City-for it was made known to him in
vision that the ancient glory of Jeru-
salem was about to return unto her. He
was worth about $4,000; he gave
$4,000 to his wife and son, who pre-
ferred to remain on the farm, hoping
that the husband would be relieved of
his insane notions by rough experience.
So the husband went away alone-ar-
rived at Jerusalem in safety, bought
several acres of land in the most desira-
BILE location he could find two miles east
Of the city, built his inn and opened it
| for the accommodation of tourists in
the Holy Land Two years have
elapsed, and whether he has been cured
of insanity or not is not known-but it
is very certain that be struck a good
thing when he built that hotel. His
letters home have been of the most
cheering character; his health has been
good; he sees good times all the while
His pictures of prosperity, his longing:
for his wife's companionship, have
caused Mrs. Brinton to decide to go tC
her husband. She has sold her property
in Washington County, and leaves witt
her son to join her husband at his inn
on the slopes of Judea.

"SHALL we have beer in the Expo

is now running riot in the community.
To leave beer out OF Il Cincinnati enter

be like leaving the character Of Hamlet

railroad employees, who are not pro-
would impose a tax upon cotton, wooden
and iron goods of English make, should
impose similar tax upon carpenters,
masens and workmen of English blood.
If the principle of protection were i'm
partially carried out every immigrant
who lands on the American shore should
pay tax heavy enough so that he
could not afford to work for less than
what an American would demand. In
the beginning these industries asked
that they be helped only till they could
establish themselves and after that they
could earn their own support. This
statement was made in 1916 and they
have not established themselves yet.
Most persons would be inclined to think
that business which after trial of
sixty years was found to be not self
supporting, ought to be dropped. 1t is
not difficult to see who pays these pro-
tectlve duties. Inc protectlOnlsC says
that the foreign importer pays it to the
government when he enters his goods
at the Custom House, but he omits to
state that the importer asks just as
much more from the wholesale dealer,
the wholesaler just as much and little
more from the retail dealer, and finally
the customer of the retailer pays the
duty increased by its passage through
two hands. The theory of Free Trade
may not be perfect, but it has the merit
of treating every man alike.

A Better Feeling.

All signs of good feeling between the
different sections of our country are
worth Iecording-especially between
those two sections which were not very
long ago at war with each other. A
fortnight ago large religious conven-
ton, with delegates from thirty -four
states, met at Atlanta, Georgia. With
great unanimity and enthusiasm the
Governor of that state was elected to
preside over the convention, although
he had been a General in the Confed
crate army. Right nObly did he de-
mean himself, and most lovingly and
tenderly did he treat all in the conven-
ton who came from the North as well
as those who came from the South.
A week later twelve Southern Sena-
tors and Representatives visited the
State House in Boston, and afterwards
went to see Faneuil Hall and the old
South Church. A dinner was rendered
them at the Hotel Brunswick, where
fraternal words were spoken, ana Gen.
Hooker of Mississippi predicted the
time when the North and South and
East were to be united in the common
bonds of fraternal concord and amity."
Both commerce and religion seem to be
helping on the era of peace and good
will between the sections, and every
patriotic and true man will do what he
can to hasten it.

Tariff Bill.

Woods Tariff Bill over which he has
labOred so long and earnestly will prob
ably receive no attention from the
House. The members have such a dis
like for "tinkering the tariff" that they
are unwilling to enter upon the discus
sion of any bill relating to that subject
no matter how beneficial its effects
might be. They are indisposed to
change the existing order of things.
This spirit is entirely too conservative.
If the laws relating to this subject of
duties can be bettered by discussion,
let them be discussed; if they can be
improved by change let them be
changed. If the present act exists for
the purposes of revenue alone, then it
defeats itself. Every plan that de-
ponds for its success upon the amount
of goods imported, must necessarily fail
when by the same plan such heavy
taxes are laid upon these goods that
the producers can not afford to bring
them here. But this is a protective
tariff not a revenue tax. 1t is just what
Mr.. Blaine's resolutions, introduced a
few weeks ago in the Senate, declare
it to be. The idea of protection is sim
ply this: Certain men cannot manufae-
ture goods as cheaply as certain other
men can, therefore the first want the
government, that is the rest of the peo-
pie, to support them. They are moth
ing more nor less than government
paupers. The principal paupers are
the cotton, wooden and iron industries
These employ 100000 men. Against
this number are 900, 900 blacksmiths
carpenters, masoDs, clerks, teachers and

~ The war news from over the sea
is not so pacific as we could wish. The
action of England in continuing con-
slant and vigorous preparations for war
is ominous. Germany indicates that
her sympathy is with Russia, and the
result of the attempt at Cancellation by

~ The nice sense of prOpriety and
consistency in some men is perfectly
marvellous. Here comes Congressman
Patterson of Colorado, for instance, who
is terribly exercised about the frauds
by which President Hayes was elected.
This Patterson is the man, by the way,
who occupies seat in Congress which
the people of Colorado voted by more
than thousond majority should be
filed by a Republican named Bedford.
