never married, and for a singular rea-
son. lie was in love with girl and
was standing on the porch at the
house of her parents one night when
his rival ran frantcally up, threw his
arms around the girls neck, kissed
her and disappeared in the darkness,
The romantic sensation so pleased the
girl that she Tilted Peabody and mar
ried her amaiory assailant. 1t was
lucky for Peabody, for he not only
got rich, but escaped all that befell
the other fellow. George was pei

PAPER HAVANA CIGARs.-Certain
interruptions Havana cigar-makers
have for some years past been giving
large orders to a paper factory in New
York State for a peculiar kind Of
straw paper. The Havanese thor
oughly soak this paper in a solution
Of refuse tobacco boiled in water, and
then press it in a stamp constructed
to give it the exact appearance of the
finest tobacco leaf. Millions of cigars
are made Of this bogus tobacco, and
exported to America and Europe. 1t
is stated that this tobacco leaf is so
good an imitation Of the real article
as to defy detection. The only way
of discovering the fraud is by weigh
ing the cigars, the spurious being
somewhat lighter than the real. The
profits made by the rascally Havana
merchants are enormous, as the first
cost of these paper cigars is next Ia
nothing.

In the centre Of the car were several
vacant seats. Most persons would
have taken one Of them; but when
the gentleman with her, presumably
her husband, pointed to these seats,
the women replied sweetly ooh, I'm
not particular, Henry; I'll sit right
down here. And down she sat, with
her $50 pounds avoirdupois, not TO
mention the infant, into the halfseat
by the door. You see, she wasn't
particular. She didn't mind that a
lady was already in the seal; she
didn't mind that two-thirds Of her
own body rested on that lady; she
did midn't that that lady was immov-

through establishing free trade within
the limits Of the empire. The express
sion is about this ;-"Our colonies can
produce grain for us as oheaply ~ the
United States cap,i and they will buy
our goods. We will encourage them
by placing prohibitive duty on grain
coming from without the empire. At
present we are building up the United
States by offering 1t free market
without return, and at the expense Of
colonial growth" Speedy action 10
urged In the matter, for the reason
that the colonies are surrounding
themselves with protective tariffs. Il
is claimed that this must be stopped
with respect to the mother country
As nearly nearly as can be made out
now, this will be the line of policy
adopted by the rising school Of eco-
nomic ayitators in England. With
hostile tai ifs In the United States,
Germany andFrance, to say nothing
of her ~n colonies, and in the face Of
the great industrial depression at
home, the English free trade theory is
likely to receive q liv ,ly shaking up
Not that the theory is disputed on
general principles, but that there can
be no such thing as free trade where
the freedom is all on one side, and that
as general free trade is not to be
brought about, England must adapt
herself to the situation.

After whitaker Comes FIippol

AFTER Wn1ttaker comes Ripper
From the Patterson Guardian.
Colored Cadet Whlttaker's ears hav.
ing been Inflicted for many long month.
upon the public, attention is now called
to colored Lieutenant Flipper's fpgers
Flipper, 1t will be recollected, managed
to graduate at West Point . few Year,
ago. His case made great deal Of talk
at the time, and the country was glad
when he was given commission and
went off to Texas. Reports now come
from Fort Davis that Flipper has been
stealing from the Government, and the
amount Of bis peculation is said to be
more than $1,000. All this need not
discourage the colored people, as the Re.
publicans always select the worst speci-
mems of that race for public reward or
preferment. The Democratic Mayor Of
Philadelphia recently appointed two col
ored policemen and they are . decided
success, which prompts the Philadelphia
Times to say: "The colored people
have been SO unfortunate IN their CADETS
that 1t looks as though the only plan
LETT tor them TO pursue Is to get Mayor
King to select q few for them. The
Mayor plainly has an eye for the fine
points Of the col0red man."
