Yesterday afternoon citizen on his
way to the postoffice was halted by q
woe.begone tramp, who looked as if q
dinner of shingle-nails and currycombs
would be gladly welcomed if served
up warm.
You have the same old story to tell,

to halt.
"No, sir, haven't" was the prompt
reply: ~ am simply about to ask
your advice. You look like q keen,
sharp business man. and I thought I'd
ask you what you thought of my going

CURIOSITY REwARDED.-Big red ants
are numerous hereabouts. They carry
in their bodies more cussedness
to the square inch than the tiger Of the
jungle, and are just that conceited with
their own prowess that they will conf
IDENTIFY attack anything that walks or
talks. They are not afraid Of man,
and if disturbed, will show fght every
time. They are not enemies to be de-
spised, either, as q person may know
who is bitten by one Of them, their bite
being poisonous and painful. Ono
morning q Chinaman found q hill Of
those ants on Sixth street, and pro-
cseded to poke among the insects with
his finger, probably with view OF in
vestigating their characteristics in the
interes of science. He knows all
about red ants now. One of the in
scots fastened on to his finger, and the
way that Chinaman howled would have
exploded q double-barreled phono-
graph. We don't understand the Chi
nese language. but judging from the
mannerIin which this Chinaman gave ex-
preston to his feelings on the subisc:
of red ants. he probably exhausted all
the explosives invented by the late Ia
mented Mr.. Confucius. and perhaps
added few OF his own invention.

SUCCESS AT LAsT.-The success with
which Miss Smith of tax fighting fame
has just met is calculated to put new
life and vigor into the business of re.
sisting the tax collector. For some
years this lady has refused peremptor-
lily to bear her share of the expense of
conducting the good town of Glaston-
bury, Connecticut, alleging as an ex-
cuse the resistance of her forefathers
to taxation without representation, and
her determination to follow in their
footsteps 80 long as tyrannical Legis-
lature denied her the right to vote. As
a result of her contumacy her COW has
been annually sold to pay her tax, and
IS repeatedly redeemed, either by the
good lady herself or her friends. Thus
far she has never succeeded in depriv-
ing the town of her contribution to its
expenses, but she has met with sue
cess which is far better. After eighty
six years of struggle with tax-collec-
tors and the other ills that flesh is heir
to, she has found kindred spirit, aged
81, and the two have been made one,
subject to the powers of the various
chancery courts throughout the land.
The historic COW is to be kept in the fam
lily her mission having been accomplish
ed and the taxes hereafter are to be paid.
In this, however, there is no sacrifice
of principle. The new member of the
firm is represented, and can therefore
be properly tsxed.-DetroH Press.
Macallister attributes the low grade
of civilization of the Australian abo.
rhymes to the total absence from the
continent of ferocious and powerful
animals, the comparative ease with
which the poor and limited quantity of
their food was obtained, aud their ma.
tional isolation. If Australia had not
been discovered by Europeans when it
was, in the course of a few thousands
of years climatic and other like changes,
and the occasional contact with their
Polynesian neighbors, would perhaps
have afforded the conditions of advance.

WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Washington
Post this morning publishes story that
Congressman Lowe, of Alabama, has chal-
lenged Senator Logan, of Illinois, to fight a
duel. Some days ago, Lowe stated to re-
porter of the Post that there were three
regiments of Illinois men in the Confeder-
ate service, and that they assured him
(Lowe) that they were raised by Logan
specially for that service. To this Logan
wrote reply denouncing the statement
that he had anything to do with raising
men for such service as vindictive and
malicious lie. This drew out the challenge
which the Post says was carried to Logan
by ex-Congressman Pelham, of Alabama.
Tho Post further says that Lowe and his
friends insist that Logan must make an
amende, or fight, and that if he refuses the
challenge he will be posted as coward.

New YORK, April 26-The Tribune to-
day gives the opinion of Ex-Governor Pal
mer, of Illinois, on the next campaign as
follows: There is no organization in either
party as yet in Illinois looking to candi-
dates in 1880. Among the Republicans the
talk is mostly for Grant, but the general
preference is for Sherman among the best
class of Republicans, and leads me to think
the struggle for the nomination will in the
end settle down to one between him and
Grant Logan interferes with Wash
burns chances. Logan, no doubt has
Presidential aspirations of his own. Til
den is looked upon by the Democrats as an
unpleasant necessity. The strength Of his
candidacy or that of any one of the group
of possible candidates of which he is the
most conspicuous, lies in the notion that
the campaign must be planned with view
of carrying New York. This fatal error
has afflicted the Democratic party for
twenty years, and has always lead to de-
feat. The only way to success is to make
the West the principal battle-ground.
