remedy against Tie p~IotoctlVo uucloo
of other countries, SO that we should
be inveigled into a great wa of tariffs,
to which there would be no end.
This is, no doubt, a consideration OF
much more serious moment than any
other argument advanced on that side.
If there were no answer to it, we
should think it fatal for clearly there
would be no end to the process of
balancing every protective duty I'M
posed abroad, by bounties intended
precisely to neutralise them at home
Once embark on such a troubled ocean
as that, and every vestige of Free
trade would soon disappear In the
confusion of chopping seas and cross
ing tides which would result from it.
But then there are the c~learest posi-
BILE distinctions between a counter
vailing duty to noutralise a bounty
if the best authorities hold, as they
do hold, that it could be so imposed
as to strike precisely those products,
and only those products, (which would
otherwise be cheapened by the boun-
ty,-and a bounty intended to neu-
tralise i foreign protective duty; and,
indeed, these distinctions have been
till recently very generally acknow-
lodged. The very journal which now
declares the Report of the Sugar
Bounties Committee to be a formal
recantation of Free-trade," only two
or three years ago itself admitted that
Gin theory countervailing duties are
quite consistent with Free-trade. Ii
a foreign country chooses to disturb
one of our home trades by giving a
bounty, we are quite at liberty to
redress the balance, so far as we are
concerned, by a co%untervailing duty'
IN order to preserve the trade as much
as possible in its natural course"
Now no Free-trade journal would
ever have said that we are quite at
liberty to icountervail a foreign pro-
tective duty by giving a bounty ON
the export to that country OF the pro-
ducts so protected, and for the follow
ing very obvious reasons i. The
bounty could hardly by any posi-
bility answer such a purpose, tor 1t
would, of course, be met by an IN
crease of duty which might even rise
to prohibition, and you cannot force
your goods into q reluctant country
by bounties, though you may keep
them from coming into your W
country at artificial advantages by
c~ountervailing duties. 2. The boun-
ty suggested to neutralise a foreign
protective duty must be paid for by
the general British taxpayer, who
would thus be forced to pay for the
folly or injustice OF the forei gner,
without necessarily having any inter
est at all in the production Of the ar
ticle thus foolishly or unjustly inter-
fered with by the foreign tariff. Thus
an innocent man would be fined year
after year for an utterly impractical
BILE purpose, which did not, or need
not, interest him in the least. Now,
in this respect also the proposal to
give a bounty as an equivalent for
the protective duty levied abroad
differs totally from the proposal we
ore discussing. We can,-at least.

THE LOVERS PARTING.

''YOu frequently have what may be
called lovers parting. Have you ever
paid any attention to human beings when
they get into that relation towards each
othcr?
Have ~ answering the question by
asking another; Il should think l had.
Why can repeat all the poetry that is in
the books on parting from memory from
having heard it SO often That one most
used by lovers is that from Romeo and
Juliet. 1t goes this way:
Good night! good night parting is such
sweet sOrrow
That l shall say good night till it be
morrow
sThe parting Of Juliue Caesar is also
frequently used. 1t goes this way:
Forever and forever, farewell Cassius,
If we do meet again, why. we shall smile;
If not, why then this parting was well
made
Some of the sentimenta!ists will quote
Byron's parting. think it is this though
it was only last Iight that young man
fred 1T ut IA very handsome blonde who
went to Syracuse:
Dies like the dolphin, whom each pang
imbues
With pew color as it grasrs away,
The last still lovIiest till--'tis gone-and
all is gray
.Ofthem all / like Pope the best when
he wrote
True friendships laws are by this lulc
expressed,
Welcome the coming, speed the Fa'tlhS
guest!
.That covers the whole case, without
any nonsense, 1t is often used, and al
ways as far as have noticed ty sensible
peop,e-not gushers who talk about set
ting up all night to say good night
II can't help laughing sometimes when
I see i, lover, male or female, come here
and lust about the time they are about to
fire off some poetlca' quotation, to forget
even the first word, or stick in their
lines as the actors express it. In sever
n, notable cases have from my knowl-
edge given them the cue, the first line OF
what they intended to say, just at the
moment they wanted it and thus made
their partiur q success in that particular
at least. Amateur actors ana stage
struck people generally have II line or
quota ton from some play on hand to use
for parting, while the real actors only

not his or her baggage is all right.

Hangman's Day Several Criminals
 Swung OR-DnstardIy Assault and

 On the Day of Execution.
 WAccA, Aug. 27.-Lynchfield Burks was hanged here at ? o'clock this afternoon, for assaulting little girl nine years old, named confession, and up to the last denied his guilt. He seemed resigned to his fate. Strenuous efforts were made to save the con- demned man, and many of his friends until this morning entertained hopes of receiving a communication of his sentence or at least a respite Governor Roberts, however, de- clined to interfere, and Burks suffered the penalty of the law.
 DALLAS, Aug. 27.-This afternoon Allan Wright was hung for the murder of Jessie Wicks Both were colored men. Nearly three thousand people gathered around the scaffold, women predominating. Some of the COW boys came hundreds of miles to see the execution The condemned was to have been executed last Friday, but Governor Rob- erts in answer to numerously signed peti ton granted him a respite till to-day, in order GnaG u0 mlSuI DeGGoi pTepdHo IOr death. Wright slept soundly and ate hearty breakfast. He then prayed with his minister He told one of the pris- oners that he was ready to die when the mo- ment came He met his fate with courage.
 PALESTINE, August P. - Great excite ment has been caused here by the announce ment of the fact that Roland Rucker who was to have been hanged here to-day for a double murder, had committed suicide in his cell by cutting the arteries of his wrist. When the prison authorities visited him at o'clock this morning they found the con demned man in the last agonies of death. Near him was 8 large pool of blood, and blood was issuing from wound in his left wrist, which he had made with penknife. On examination it as..found that the arteries had been severed. How Rucker got posses sion of the penknife is a mystery to all. The crime which he was to have expiated to- day on the gallows was the murder of man named R. P. Grayson and his wife. He was sentenced June 16th. During his trial he manifested most stolid indifference. When asked at the time if he had anything to say, he replied that he had nothing to say except he wanted the court to grant him as much time as possible, as he (the prisoner) had out several petitions for communication of his sen tence. He evinced no emotion, and had dur ing his subsequent confinement appeared in different

An Exciting Wrestling Match.

An Exciting VVrestIing Match.
 PROVIDENCE, Aug. 27.-The unfinished wrestling match between Duncan E. Ross and Captain J. 0. Daley, begun at Park Gar den Tuesday evening last, was concluded to- night in presence of 4,o0O spectators. The contest was sharp and exciting and much en- thusiasm was manifested by the supporters of the two men. The match was for $500, the conditions best three in five falls, Scotch and Irish alternated. Tuesday night both men gained fall, and in the third bout both men were spilled into the water and the contest remained unfinished because of the unpleas- antness created thereby In reopening the match tonight the two men closed in Scotch style. Daily struggled hard to gain the mastery, and at times seemed as Ross great muscular strength, com bined with his extreme agility, carried the day and he soon had the Irish giant on his back. In the fourth bout, Irish, Daily came up blooming, and after short contest foored his opponent, making it tie. The fifth bout, Scotch, was very exciting, Daily again struggling to down the Scotchman, who pluckily held his ground. Both were squarely on their backs, but got away before the required thirty seconds were up. At the close Ross put Daily on his shoulder and tried to hold him, but the latter squirmed out of the situation and got Ross on his back The Scotchman made almost superhuman effort and quick as lightning turned the ta- bles, holding Daily down, despite his efforts to escape, until the umpire called the time.
