The Tax on Paper.

From the Detroit Free Press.
One of the arguments urged by
the paper-makers in favor Of con-
tinuing the tax on knowledge is
that the Canadian paper-makers
are already introducing Canadian
paper into the market and COM
peting with home manufacturers.
In other words, the paper-makers
confess that they have run up the
price of paper so high that the
Canadians can, in the face of the
duty, import paper and make
money. This only shows how
grievous is the burden under which
every man who takes a newspaper,
buys a school book, or pays for a
handful, now labors. The news
papers ought to be only clamorers
against this imposition. Every
reader OF books and papers every
parent who pays for a child's
schooling; every merchant and
auctioneer who posts his notices
on walls and fences; every adver-
tiser who uses paper, either through
the medium OF a journal or in
flying sheets, ought to unite in pro-
testing until Congress takes off the
tax.
The persistence of the tax will
be likely to kill off the country
press, and many a Congressman
may, on the adjournment of Con-
grass, go home, only to find that
some of the auxiliaries on which
he had depended for reelection
have gone the way of all the earth.

She looked at him with a sad
heart. All that day as she went
about her accustomed duties, a
sense of impending evil haunted
her, and at last, late in the after
noon, she put on her garden hat,
saying to her mother:
81 am going over to Susie Lin
don's."
Her mother looked astonished
for it was rarely that Sarah vouch-
safed visit or call TO any one.
Kissing her mothers cheek with
fond smile, she went out, saying
gaily:
Don't touch supper, mother,
dear, / will come back in time to
attend to that"
Fondly the mother watched her
adown the road, little dreaming
that the sweet heart would never
come to her again.
For on that day all her light
went out utterly with the hsppi- |
ness of the beloved daughter.
Reaching the neighbours house,
handsome white one, surrounded .
by trees, she tapped at the side
door, after which she entered with
the familiarity of a life acquain-
lance.
The family sitting room was il.

its being occupied by seamstress
and all the paraphanalia of dress
She saw the pieces of q gray
silk; also many other signs that
something unusual was in progress.
Susie was nowhere to be seen;

said.
Left alone with the seamstress
for short time, who, by the way
was stranger from an adjacent
town, that busy person remarked:
"Miss Lindon is getting married

livious Sarah.
"Why, i heard her call him Mark

Then she looked up and saw
Sarah's god-forsaken face, and
cried:
"Oh, miss, what is the matteri"

waiting for the temperance of
Mrs. Linden, she stepped out and

The Whitaker Verdict.

n. Y. Herald.
In the eyes of some men in this country
it is apparent that West Point is only a
great public school that has behaved
naughtily toward a parti-cOlOred hero
named Whitaker. Their sense of propOr-
tiOn is reduced simply to that. Here is a
negro boy more largely endowed than even
the average of negro boys with that pitiful
spirit which impels the feeble specimens of
humanity to desire to become distinguished
as victims when more honorable and man.
ly channels of distinction are beyond their
reach. This person "this unfortunate
young man" is put in one scale and West
Point in the other, and West Point kicks
the beam. Several persons have put forth
this view, and the latest is the colored pro-
fessOr, Greener, who says: eff West Point
determines to sacrifice Whitaker to shield
itself it will find, when too late, that it's
lack of ordinary prudence and exhibition Of
prejudice have proved it's own destruction"
Several points are implied in this sentence.
One of them is that West Point wants to
shield itself. Where did Prof. Greener
get that idea? He could not have found it
in the history of the war, where great
many West Point men laid down their
lives to free few million of fellows like
Whitaker. West Point never showed any
especial disposition to save itself in the
war, and we do not believe that now it feels
any sense of desperate alarm at the wrath
of the ferocious colored man Greener. But
this professor fancies that this great dem
ocratic institution wants to save itself at an
enormous price the "sacrifice of Whit
taker." Let him reassure himself West
Point will never put up that soft of sacri-
flee tn nrODitiafe the S1lnremo nOworS IF
she makes any sacrifice it will be of some
animal worthy the altar. But she does
need any just yet.

sacked, and two rooms on the second
floor were visited. There was free
access to the store-room adjoining, but
nothing was disturbed, while in the other
rooms kid gloves, silk handkerchiefs,
clothes, etc., were strewn about. Money
was evidently the object as nothing is miss
ing. At 3 o'clock in the morning Mrs. b.
heard noise, but while awakinS her hus-
band the thief decamped through the
window.
A strawberry festival on the borough
grounds, for the benefit of the Sunday
school connected with the Church of Gsd,
will be held on Friday aud Saturday next.
The soaking rain having put the ground
in good condition for tobacco planting,
yesterday the patches were full of men
women and boys engaged in the work.
Every one who was fortunate enough to
have his ground ready set out what plants
he could get. In the afternoon the sun
shcne very warm, and the plants looked
g sick - in the evening, but last night they
were invigorated and this morning stand as
straight as soldiers. On Henry KurtZ' S
farm fifteen acres were planted.

Paddy Ryan. tho Troy Giant, Wins After
Elghty-One Rounds.
GOLFERS, w. Va, June 1.-The Goss-
Ryan prize fight took place here this
morning and resulted in the defeat of Goss,
after fight of 81 rounds, in one hour and
twenty minutes.
The ring for the fight, which was for
the heavy weight championship and g., 900,
was pitched at 4:25 in a ravine near Col
lier's station, w. Va, about three hun
dred yards from the Pennsylvania boundary
line. Some 300 persons were present.
Pittsburgh being we'll represented, with
a slight sprinklins from New York city
and Troy. At 5 o'clock two deputy
sheriffs appeared and warned those pres
ent that the governor of West Virginia
said that acquisitions would be issued for
the arrest of the principals.
Details of the BattIe-(iOss Claims "A Foul
and Refuses to Fight on the Judges
Not AllOwingit
The fight began at 6:15. Ryan entered
the ring first and soon afterwards was fol-
lowed by Goss. Schell Fairchild was chosen
referee. The fight was closely contested,
and but for the age of GOss would proba-
bly, have lasted still longer. In the
65th round GOss's seconds claimed foul,
and it not being allowed, refused
to fight their man longer and the fight was
awarded to Ryan. The latter was terribly
punished about the face and body, but
held out. Goss was not apparently much
hurt or disfigured, but became winded.

Severance of the PASTORAL Relation.

oCsCE0uCO VI th0 Z ooSVEloA As0ASssV"s
On Sunday Rev. w. S. Porr,
of St. Stephens Lutheran church,
this city, announced to his con-
gregation that he would preach his
farewell sermon as their pastor on Sunday
next. We learn from the members of the
congregation that Rev. Porr's course has
been caused by some differences existing
between him and the vestry relative to a
fund raised or to be raised for the compile
ton of the main audit torium of the church
building; that some time ago, Rev. Porr
announced that he had secured or would
secure subscription of ST. 25O for
the purpose on condition that the
congregation raised an equal sum !:
that the congregation did raise
$3.50, and then asked Rev. Porr for
his subscribtion, and that he refused to
pay it unless the interior of the church
was modified by taking down part of the
gallery, which he regards as Objectionable.
Rev. Porr will remain in Lancaster, and
continue to minister to his Millersville
charge, the Bethany Lutheran church.
He has been for over five years pastor of
St. Stephens, and took an active part in
organizing and building up that young
congregation.
