His Sign.

Three or four days ago colored man
living on Illinois street hung out sign
on his house, reading: "For sail" He
happened to be at the gate when white
man came along and said:
"Youu never get an offer Tor your
house with any such spelling as that"
The owner of the place was greatly
puzzled to improve the orthography, but
finally took his wife's advice, and made
it read: "For SELL"
This seemed to be all right for day or
two, and then school-boy halted and
said:
''If you don't fix that sign all the
school children will be laughing at you"
There was another convention of the
family to see where the mistake came in,
and the sign was made to read: Fur
Sail" It hadn't been up an hour when
an old colored man came along and
querried:
'.Does you mean dat dis place am fur
Sally? What yer gwine ter glib de place
to Sally, fur ?" !,
s.Am you fndin' fault wild dat sign ?"
asked the other.
ssWell, I doan' quite cotch on to de

What we Pay to be Governed.

The nations income for the last
tisclal year is reported by Secretary
F0iger to have been in round num-
bers $500, 100000. 1t was derived
from imports and the internal
revenue tax, $500, 100000 coming
from the former, and $3.50, 900, GOO from
the latter, whiskey and tobacco pay
ing Sl35 900, 600 of the internal reye-
nue.. The expenses of the govern
ment for the year aggregated $780,
100000, so that the surplus revenue
vas about 500, 100000. The interest
oSthe debt made an item of $50. 500,-
600 in the expense account. and the
payment of pensions an item of
$4,000, 900. When the debt is paid
and the pensions expire the annual
cost of government should not exceed
$780, 900, allowing for the growth
in population until that time. But
even now we pay but about per
capita annually for the national gov
eminent, while the inhabitants of
Manhattan Island pay nearly $50 per
capita annually for their municipal
government. Can any one explain
why the difference in cost of the two
kinds of government should be so
great? No explanation of the differ
ence is possible which does not rest
upon the assumption that millions of
dollars are taken from the city treas
ury traudulently every year. The
waste and stealings in the national
government are considerable, but the
sqandering and plundering in our
local government must be colossal,
or its cost could not be $50 a year for
each man, woman and child on Man

John w. Forney died Friday of
last week at his home in Philadel-
phia, in the Gath year of his age. Two
weeks ago ne seemed to be in perfect
health, and was about to start out on
an extended lecturing tour when he
was Frustrated by the disease which
a few days later cut short his earthly
career. He was a man of eXtraor-
binary intellectual activity and a
most indefatigable worker, although
he always seemed to have leisure to
talk to his friends and to enjoy the
good things of life. AS political
writer he had few superiors, and he
was also an effective and graceful
speaker. His courtesy and kindness
attracted to him great host of
friends of all sahes of political opin.
ion, whose affection and esteem he
retained through all the vicissitudes
of his public life. 1t cannot be said
that he was a successful politician,
and he never held an office commen-
surate with his abilities, although he
was exceeding ambitious and had a
remarkable aptitude for public affairs.
He devoted the last years of his life
to writing pleasant sketches of his
contemporaries, and now that he is
dead great host of eulogists will do
honor to his memory.

The Republican representation in
the General Assembly is too strong
and too respectable a minority to be
running about in quest of an alliance
with any man or any set of men.
They are the forerunners of greater
events which are morally certain to
follow closely after them the repre-
sentatives of most important proba-
bilities in the almost immediate
future of Maryland politics and the
gentlemen comprising this large
minority do not and will not osesight
of this fact. Therefore, their posi-
ton will be one of dignified watch
fulness. and whenever coalition of
the anti-ring elements is thought de-
sirable for the purpose of holding in
check or thwarting The supporters of
the ring, the iniliatory must come
from the liberal wing of the Democ.
racy. In the event that such over
lures shall have been made, it will
then he time enough for the Repub

am lover of justice, like fair play,
and also to see the innocent defended
l thought, therefore, to respond to
your just appeal by sending you my
check for $500, regretting very much
that my means are not large enough
to send you a thousand. How can l
better show my sympathy for Gods
merciful messenger who has brought
such bliss and joy to so many hearts,
as.by sending the proper means to de-
fend your noble and valuable life J.

extraordinary piety and goodness
Your appeal has touched my heart,

dollars, every single one worth a
million cents, and each cent should
send a million of shots through your
heart, where the chord of kindness
is wanting, filling up that vacuum
with as much pain as you are en-
titled to suffer for what you have

How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffen
aid hold the engraved portions in place, and
supply the necessary solidity and strength
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as UTILITY and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is over
come, and the SAME soLIDITY AND STRENG 9TH
produced at from one third to one half OF the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is of
the most simple nature as follows: a plate of
nickle composition metal, especially adapted
to the purpose, has two plates, of SOLID GOLD
soldered one on each SIDE The three are then
passed between polished steel rollers, and the
result is a strip of heavey plated composition,
from which the cases, backs, centres. bezels
&c, are cut and shaped by suitable dies and
formers. The gold in these cases is Su t1icient-
ly thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, en-
craving and enameling; the engraved casses
have been carried until worn perfectly smooth
by time and use without removing the gold
