Two gentlemen belonging to Glasgow,
who had been to Belfast, were returning
home by way of Ttranraer, and entered
the train leaving there shortly before 8
o'clock. They travelled by themselves
till they reached Ayr, when they were
joined by stalwart, gentlemanly-look-
ing man, who proved to be dang
companion. Directlyias the train moved
out of the station, the new conner picked
a pipe belonging to one OF the gentle
men and thre it out of the window.
Although rather chagrined neither of the
gentlemen said anything, wishing to
avoid disturbance, and believing that
their companion was intoxicated, Soon
the stranger began to punch them in the
ribs with stick, put himself into me-
nacir & attitude, talked very incoherent-
ly and amused himself by knocking off
their hats. The two gentlemen began
to think that matters had proceeded just
far enough, and one of them quietly in
formed the stranger that he had better
desist,, and that ne mi ight find, if he per-
sisted in his "little game" that he had
met his match. The train had passed
Irvine and was flying onward, when sud-
denly the stranger produced from styl-
ish game bag q six!chambered revolver
IF large size. He examined it for a
minute or two and then drew the trigger
once or twice, evidently just to satisfy
himself that it was nor loaded. The ex-
animation of tie revolver concluded, the
stranger laid it down beside him on the
seat while he took from q case filled

the revolver. n The stronger of the two
gentlemen thought that his time for ac-
ton had arrived, and quietly picked up
The revolver, ostensibly' with the object
of looking at it,; but when his excited
fellow.tmvelers requested it to be re-
turned the request was refused. Then
a scene occurred in the compartment
The stranger rushed at the gentleman
having possession Of the revolver,
knocked off his hat, and endeavored for
chilly to possess himself of the weapon.
He failed and was then observed look
ing for knife, He was then told that
if be did not sit down and remrin quiet
he would be severely dealt with, and he
contented himself with threatening what
he would do till the train reached John.
ste one. Here the gentleman handed the
revolver to the guard of the train and
informed an official Of what had occurred,
and stated that the man had as much
powder in his possessionias would wreck
a train The reply received was to the
effect, "You are all alike to us and if it
don't suit you can change your carriage"
This the gentlemen did and went to

Sources Of National Greatness

There is nothing in the whole line Of
great things -- intellectual, political,
physical, or material--that adds more
largely to a nations greatness and glory
than its workshops and their products.
The worldwide renown of hundreds of
cities, towns, and countries is no more
nor less than the echoes from their me-
chanical laboratories, where oskillful
hands manipulate into practical shapes
and forms the countless brain creations
of earnest devotees at the shrine Of in
vention in whose thoughts, day and
night, revolve problems and principles
of mechanical science, and who tire not
at the ceaseless mindtoil involved in
producing and perfectlng the one or
many special devices, to reach a full and
perfect understanding Of which, may
have encroaohed upon the hours of rest
and slumber, and for the time being,
rendered life in many q condition of
mental inventive slavery.
The intellectual brilliancy of thous-
anus OF learneu lllen--Slalesmen, orators,
philosophers, and men of science--heYe
by their productions and accomplish
ments enhanced the reputation Of the
nation Of their birth but in the com
mon, everyday, practical life of man
kind their Importance diminishes when
compmed1with the labor interests and
products of the world, And many of
those who have reached the highest
eminences in intellectual and scientific
life have passed through workshops and
periods of physical labor and hard toll !;
and certainly there is no truly great and
learned manswho would attempt to sub
stitute any fancied greater interest for
the workshop interests of the world

This is very incorrect and unfair way of
stating the case. Our intelligent cotempora,a-
knows very well that there is no proposition
now, or heretofore, intending to abolish tho
pon tax" nor is there any proposition to in
crease the revenues drawn from realty taxa
ton. 1t is the restriction upon suffrage that
1t IS proposed to remove, to make the State
Constitution conform with the Constitution
| of the United States, and secure what the Dem
ocratic platform at Cincinnati declares fora
free ballot" The restriction upon the right
to vote does not add to the revenues of the
treasury. 1t only deprives citizens of the Com
monwealth from exercising the right to vote,
Which the Constitution guarantees, without in
any way comforting benefit upon COM
munity or upon the State Government The
acknowledgements effected under this restric-

restriction decreases the cote of Virginia-not
the revenues which go into the treasury-and
by thus decreasing the vote, should decrease
the political power Of the Commonwealth, as
now recognized in Congressional and Electoral
representation.
Weassume that the statement of the Adgone2
was made thoughlessly, for we are sure that
no proposition has ever been made to abolish
the poll tax" and that the retention of the re-

does open up source of corruption and fraud

The popular mind should not be misled by
the incorrect statements as to the nature of
the restriction, or the proposition which is to
be an important issue in the canvass next year.
A price upon the ballot, such as the poll-tax
fixes, is in conflict with the spirit
of our institutions, and prejudicial to the best
interests of society, as well as the purity of the
ballot-box.
