The Story yaublanc Tells

of NJ. de Chateaubrun. who was not only
condemned to death, but actually taken to
the scaffold. He WAS the last of twenty vic
tins. After twelve or fifteen executions, one
part of the horrible instrument broke, and
workman was sent for TO mend it. NJ.
Chateaubrun was, with the other victims,
near the scaffold, with his hands tied be-
hind his back. The repairing took a long
time. The day began to darken; the
great crowd of spectators were
far more intent on watching the re-
pairing of the guillotine than on looking at
the victims who were to die, and all, even
the gendarmes themselves, had their ewes
fixed on the scaffold. Resigned, but very
weak, the condemned man leaned, without
meaning it, on those behind him, and they,
pressed by the weight of the body, mechan-
ically made way for him, till gradually, and
by no effort of his own. he came to the last
ranks of the crowd The instrument once
repaired, the executions began, and they
hurried to the end.
A dark night concealed both executioners
and spectators.
Led on by the crowd, De Chateaubrun was
at first amazed at his situation, but soon
conceived the hope of escaping, Hewent to
the Champs Elysees and there, addressing a
man whe looked like workman, he told
him, laughingly, that some comrades with
whom he had been joking had tied his
hands behind his back and had taken his
hat, telling him to go and look for it. He
begged the man To cut the cords and the
workman pulled out knife ana did SD,
laughing all the while at the joke. NJ. de
Chateaubrun then proposed going into any
of the small wine shops in the Champs Ely
sees. During a slight repast he seemed
to be expecting his comrades to bring
back the hat, and, seeing nothing of them,
begged his guest to carry note to some
friend, whom he knew would lend him one
for he could not go bareheaded through the
streets. He added that his friend would
bring him some money; hiscomrades, in fun,
had taken away his purse. The poor man
believed every word NJ. de Chateaubrun
told him, took the note, and returned IN
half an hour, accompanied by the friend
who embraced Chateaubrun and gave him
all the help he required.

80 Siameses Twfnso

In one of Mi chigan's interior towns live
a couple known as the ''Siamese Twins.
There are always together. No one in the
village ever remembered seeing one unac
companied by the other. They go to church
together, they split wood together, they
walk the streets together and they fight
together. Not long ago, after a severe bate
a gentleman said to the feminine twin:
Sarah Jane, why do you pummel your
unprotected husband so? Think how bad
you would feel If he should die
oh said Sarah Jane, in tone that
showed the matter was settled in her mind,
I'VE will die together. We made that
arrangement when We were married. You
see, John Henry was married before, and
seven days after his first wife died he came
to me and asked me to marry him, John

What do these figures mean?. They mean
that the prices which the Western farmers
land the American people generality now
pay for their wooden cloths and stuffs are
so excessive that the British wooden manu-
facturers can afford to pay from 81 to a per
cent. import duties for the admission of
their goods into the States, and still get q
profit. That is to say, that taking the av-
erage duty at 66 per cent? the Western
farmer could. if he we're allowed to buy
where he could buy cheapest, get the same
quantity and quality of wooden and worsted
stuffs for twelve dollars for which he now
has to pay twenty. Eight dollars out of
twenty thrown away!
They mean that the prices which the
and linen goods are SO excessive that the
British makers of the same goods can afford
to pay from 80 to 63 per cent. import duties
for the admission of their manufactures into
the States, and still get profit. That is to
say, that taking the average duty at SO per
cent. the farmers wife could. if she were
allowed to buy where she could buy cheap
est, get the same articles for six dollars for
which she now has to pay nine. Three dol
lars out of nine thrown away!
They mean that the American railways
are constructed of iron which costs so dear
that the British makers can afford to pay 80
to so per cent import duties for the admis-
zion of their goods into the State and still
get profit; so that Railway Companies are
compelled to charge the Western farmer a
proportionately excessive rate for the con-
veyance of his produce to market. The
burden of the difference, of course falls on
the patient back Of the Western farmer!
Those figures mean, in short, that the
same enormous artificial initiation of natural
prices runs through every article-except
| food-with which the farmer has to provide
his family, and they mean that if'the Amer
lean farmers were allowed to buy, as they
could buy, for 800 what they are now com
PEELED to pay $40 for. 1t Is clear that they
could buy Tor 81. o00, ooo, 900 what they now

A DEACON DONE FOR
BY a pepraved Goat and Bad Boy.

Last summer the entire Tadsbury family
visited their relatives, the Browns, who live
in the country, and while there big camp
meeting was started by the Methodists. Mr.
Tadsbury being deacon in the Church,
took great deal of interest in the affair
until an event occurred which somewhat de-
stroyed his faith in the efficacy of outdoor
worship. Mr.. Browns pasture, through
which ran q small creek, and in which were
quite number of goats, was selected as the
camp ground.
The day before the meeting Johnny Tads-
bury roamed through the pasture in search
of blackberries, and while doing so sudden
ly met with large masculine goat, who had
a mean expression on his face and a very
peculiar smell about him.
Johnny was very bad boy, and the goat
was very depraved goat, and after they
gazed at each other moment, each real
lied that he had met congenial spirit, and
when Johnny whistled softly the goat
winked his stubby tail, and in i've minutes
they were Just as intimate as if they had
slept together and scratched one another's
backs
Mr.. Brown, being aware of the pugna-
cious disposition of his goat had him incar-
cerated In a stable. but as soon as Johnny
learned what had been done with his friend
he sought the spot and liberated him, and

THE Republican press is evidently
alarmed about currency matters. Repub-
hcans do not apprehend any danger while
Democrats control Congress, but when the
Republican party takes the helm all
sorts of financial blunders are pre-
dicted, and the Republican press is
crying out Justify in advance, "hands off the
currency" But Republican Congressman do
not propose to keep "hands off the cur
rency" The National Banks want the
greenbacks out of the way-they want to is
sue all the paper money of the Government,
and the war upon the standard silver dollar
will be kept up. The capitalists who helped
the Republican party to success by invest
ing their money, want only gold as a
legal tender-the one standard coin OF
the country, and the Republican press
will be unable to silence the agitators. The
Democratic party remonetized the silver
dollar and the Democratic party arrested
the retirement of greenbacks. and the
status of the present circulating medium OF
the country-is due to Democratic statesman
ship. The Chicago Inter-Ocean is one OF
the alarmed Republican organs. IL says:

THE Boston Herald says: THE duty on
steel rails is $2Sa ton, but, as the manu-
facture in this country is limited 20 a few
establishments using the Bessemer process,
the demand exceeds the supply, and the
bulk of the orders are now going to England,
according to the Pittsburg Telegraph. That
is to say, it is cheaper to buy steel rails in
England, pay $2S ton duty and freights,
than to buy here Is not more protection
needed?" Certainly. Iii possible to so
adjust the tariff that railroads would have
to pay about about double the present
prices, most OF which would come out OF the
pockets of Western farmers.

HOW PROTECTION RoBs FARMERS

According to the census OF 1870 there
were 5, $4,000 persons engaged in agricul-
tural pursuits in the United States, in round
number say 5000. ESQ., 1t is safe to assume
that in the census OF 1880 the number will be
shown to have increased to 100000. 1t is
assumed by those who have given the subject
careful consideration that the average
annual expenditure of these farmers
will reach the sum of 500 for
articles of consun- ptiOn other than the pro-
ducts of their farms. But the authority
from which we quote, desiring to keep
within the boundary of fact places the num-
Der of farmers in the United States at I, O00,-
000, and estimating their expenditures at
500 each for articles other than the pro-
ducts oftheir farms, gives the sum total OF
their annual Expenditures at 81, 400, OOO, 600.
The inquiry then is. for what is this vast
SUM expended, and the reply is: ~ Wool
en-, cotton. linen and silken fabrics, and,
therefore, every species of clothing for male
and female. as also sheets, curtains, blan-
kets, carpets, etc. ca Iron and steel manu-
wire, cutlery, tools, farming nipple
ments, farriery. agricultural machinery,
as we'll as railway conveyance on iron,
which cost very much more than ii
would have cost had it been imported
from abroad. ,(3) Leethern fabrics, and,
therefore. boots and shoes, saddlery. gloves,
etc. (41 Earthenware and crockery, tinware
and glass, and numberless other household
neeessaries, all of which come under the
price-inhating influence of the customs
tariff 1t is on these objects that the greater
portion of the agriculturist's Outgoings is
expended.
The next step, says the authority from
which we quote, is TO ascertain what portion
of the 81, 400! 600 900 the Western farmers
would save if. by the abolition of import
duties, they were left free to supply
their wants from the cheapest mar
ket, wherever that might be, whether
in New England old England. France,
or some other country. This ques-
tiOu is easily solved, as, fortunately, We
have the guidance of positive facts, supplied
by the official returns of the Government
From these We learn that prices are 50 high
in the United States. and so low in other
countries, that in spite of the enormous du-
ties levied on them, considerable quantities
of European goods are imported into the
United States, where they must, of course,
leave profit to the senders, or they would
not be sent. Let us enumerate some of the
leading articles imported in the year 1878,
stating the amounts and the rate per cent.
of duties which they had to pay:

THE intimidating and bulldozing OF
the Republican party made use of to elect
General Garfield are gradually and constant
ly being exposed. Now, read these instances:
The New York World publishes dispatch
from Columbus, O., against the Columbus
Buggy Company, which employs 600 voters,
mainly Democrats. 1t says: They intimi-
dated By illegal means the men into voting
the Garfield ticket, and. altered the political
status Of the city of Columbus; but since
the election the employees have been noti-
fed that they would only get 20 per cent. of
their wages in cash, and the remainder in
store orders" The same dispatch accuses
the Republicans of Systematically being
at work to secure future elections
by discharging white laborers and
filing their places with negroes from
Kentucky and the two Virginias. This
colonization is not being carried on in Co
lumbus alone, but in a number of Demo
cratic cities, where few hundred radical
Republican votes would prevent the cleo
ton of Democratic Senators and Represen-
tatives in the election next winter here in
Ohio. Colonization of the eolored people
of the South has begun for the purpose of
making Ohio solidly Republican for many
years to come"

and soon both OF them were bounding off in
the direction of the camp-meeting. As il so
happened, Mr.. Tadsbury. overcome by the
heat and his exhortations. had quietly with
drawn from the meeting and sought Sc
cluded place on the creek, where he pre-
pared to refresh himself by bath.
Johnny espied his father in the act OF d.
vesting himself of his garments, and he and
the goat lay in wait until the old man had
finished bathing, and when he had stepped
out on the bank and was leaning forward
pulling on his shirt. Johnny gave the signal.
and the next instant the goat bore down on
Deacon Tadsbury like an avalanche, and
with an expression in his eye which plainly
told that his mission was one of malice.
Mr. Tadsbury's head being enveloped in
the folds of his shirt, and his back TO the
enemy, he had no admonition of his danger
until his head was shot through the back of
the garment, and he was lifted in the airand
hurled over furlong of ground. He tried
to pray, but the goat never gave him time to
collect his thoughts, and whenever he struck
the ground the goat hit him like a locomo-
tive, and always in the same spot He
began TO cry loudly for help, but the goat
kept him moving by shifting him hip and
thigh until the terror-stricken deacon got
into a well-develOped wasp nest when he
raised piercing shrek and fled in the di-
| rectiOn of the camp-meeting.
Parson Dilsey. who was preaching about
the immortality of the age, was Suddenly in
terrupted by prolonged yells, and the next
moment tall, spectral figure with long
robe Topping around his neck shot through
the meeting like meteor, closely followed
by wlld-eyed goat, who travelled fast
enough to put to shame telegraph COM
pany. The fearful apparition created a
great deal of CONSERVATION, and it was not
until several persons went to the rescue that
the goat could be persuaded to desist. The
goat was taken and chained to an anvil. and
that evening when the meeting was over
Johnny sat on the end of the mourners
bench and listened to the sympathizing re-
marks made in behalf of his father.
