quite well at first, when he was called
on to repeat his statement, but on the re-
direct examination he suddenly broke
down. l can remember having been in
such state of mind myself, when every
thing around me has all at once become
a blank. Isaiah looked about him help
lessly. 1t suddenly came over him that
he had been betrayed by his own care
lessness into giving an account to his law
yer of the day before the murder! He
had been coached on that. His dull, de-
pendent intellect refused to think and
plan for itself on the spur Of the moment.
He was too bewlldered and confused to
remember. The prosecuting lawyer
tainted him. The prisoners counsel
tried to encourage him. But his only
answer was, II don't see whar is, sir;
has lost myself"
There was ripple of unfeeling merrl-
ment through the courtroom. Isaiah s
previous statement passes for an unmiti-
gated lie. I sit cold and stern. I catch
Isalah's eye and its took of stolid dis
comfort. I believe in him.
At the same time-and this makes my
fears for him all the stronger-I believe
it possible that the testimony of the 9TH

falsehood. 1 have seen enough OF colored
people to be sure thst, on an emergency.

CAN WE PAY THE DEBT {?

One of the stock arguments of
the repudiating Wilson men is the
inability Of the state to pay the
public debt, even if she had desire
to do SO. After declaiming upon the
fraudulent bonds, the railroad rlngs..
bloated bOndholders, etc., they ins
variably end with this. 1t is equal
ly as truthful as the other rotten
arguments these repudiating dema-
gogues are using, but that does not
matter so long as they will answer
their purposes. From a table pub
lished in the Nashville American.
compiled from official sources, it is
seen that at present thirty-six states
in the union pay a larger state
tax than Tennessee. Should state
credit legislature and governor be
elected, and tax Of forty cents b
levied, which will be large enough
still there would be fourteen states
Nevada, Alabama, Oregon, Florida
Arkansas, Louisiana, Nebraska, Cal
ifornia, Kansas, Delaware, Georgia
Texas, Virginia, and South Caro-
lima, that would pay a larger ia,
than Tennessee, and three, Missouri
Maine and Kentucky, that woul'
pay one equally as large. Fror
this it is easy to see that Tennessee
even then would be in very favor

The anthracite coal trade continues ex
tremely dull and the production slightly
increased from week to week. During
the month of January this year the anthra
cite and bituminous Goals together have
increased something over seventy pei
centum on what they were in the cores
ponding month last year. With such
a weight as this on the market there seems
but one way of relief, and that is to lesson
the production of coal. The next best
thing to this if 0peatOrs will presist in
going on with their work, is to hold their
coal firmly at circular prices. The gener-
al belief is still maintained that all the
anthracite coal mined in 1880 will be re-
quired and used, whether the prices are a
dollar per ton more or less. For manu-
featuring purposes the difference of a dol
lar per ton in fuel, when distributed and
divided in the cost of manufactured mate
rial, is scarcely appreciable. The market
for coal, therefore, in great degree de-
pends with the operators themselves. II
they determine to have remunerative
prices for coal they have but to fix them
at the proper point and adhere to their
circular rate. When the trade and bus
mess of the country require more manu-
features of iron the requirement will be
duly met, and cannot be without the free
use of coal Those therefore, who may de-
termine to proceed with coal mining have
only to settle with themselves the cost OF
carrying the coal piled. If this point can
not be satisfactorily reconciled with them
selves let them call halt in production
until the current market demand catches
up with the supply. There need be no Sc
rious difficulty with the coal operators if
they will but consent to act in concert
and in Philadelphia Ledger.

Another instance of a "loSt art'' pres
ents itself in the case of the Egyptian OBJ
elisk, the removal of which is now being
superintended by Lieutenant Commander
Gorringe, of the u. s. Navy. Commander
Gorrnge, who is well versed in modern
engineering, testifies that it would be i'm
possible to improve any part of the con-
structiOnS of the foundation and pedestal
of this great shaft, constructed about two
thousand years ago. The ''iron or steer'
dogs which bound the several pieces of
granite together in precisely the same
manner as in the best work of the kind
at the present day (incuding the lead
packing) are of a quality of metal surpass-
ing any productions of Russia, Sweden or
Pennsylvania. While it is as hard as steel
1t is as ductile as the Softest wrought iron
To remove the foundations, says Gorringe,
"has been as great piece of work
as 1T must have been to construct them"
'"The stone works of the obclisk is not
calculated to excite fresh wonder, but the
quality of ''iron or steel" described is a
nut to crack for the metal workers of the
present day which would immortalizc
the successful experiment
