A Story Intended to Raise the Traveller.

lnASupAlp Wcofly.l
While sitting in the smoking-room of a pal
ace ear, conversing with an acquaintance of
mine from Brooklyn, the conductor dropped in
and began an easy chat
Being railroad man." he said, sit may be
foolish in me to speak of it, but did you ever
notice anything particularly dangerous about
an upper berth in a Pullman seeper?"
"No," exclaimed, land yet have slept in
them frequently. What do you mean?"
Come here and I will explain" was the re-
ply, and leading the way into the car he let
down one of the upper berths, and putting
aside the mattrass displayed its inner work
ings.
'Now, to look at it, he said, "you would
imagine this heavy bottom weighed fully a
hundred pounds; yet so nicely is it balanced,
the slightest pressure lifts it up into its place.
Give q mere push and it goes up as light as o
a feather. Tnis is done by means OF the strong
coiled springs inside, which roll -up the sup
porting berth chains. The woodwork fits SO
closley that when shut the whole appears one
solid part of the car. The cracks are not even
visible If a man were to be shut up in one of
these places it would be an alright tomb and
he would die of suffocation'
"But is it possible to be shut in one of
them?o 1 exclaimed, a shudder passing
through me at the idea.
Certainly replied the conductor grimly.
This lock, as you see, shuts with spring.
Push up the berth ever SO gently, and the lock
fastens automatically, with an almost imper-
ceptible click. The lock is on the outside, and
1t would be utterly impossible to open it from
within. Let the berth shut on man and he
will be smothered in less than ten minutes
would be fatfened out and jammed between
the berth and the roof Of the Car, gasping for
BREATH
SIS there nothing to prevent these berths
from flying up?"
They make only pretense of it. This
small wire is fastened to the berth floor, and
the lower end fitted by slots into the berth be-
low But little jolting is enough to jerk
these out of place. and there the slightest tip
ping of the car will send the berth flying up
into its place, imprisonng the unconscious
sleeper in the twinkling of an eye.
The conductors story was very hair raising,
and we all looked around at each other nm
'If this thing is dangerous, why don't we
hear of some accidents?' 1 asked.
You would hear of them if you looked in
the right place. A case occurred not long
ago, though fortunately not fatal one. The
car somehow jumped the rail, and the Jolt
caused one of the upper berths, whose wire
fastening had come loose, tc fly up in its place.
A young. man was sleeping in the berth, and
as 1t happened had his arm hanging over the
side The arm was pretty badly mashed, but
1t saved his life, for it kept the berth from en-
tireiy closing, and gave him air until we came
to his relief. II is becoming difficult now to
sell upper berths."

In the debating club of the German uni
versities, says the st. James Gazette, there
is rule prohibiting two kinds of argument
from being used in discussion. The one con
sists in saying Il am very glad not to think
as you do;' and it is called the Spinach Ar
gument, in recollection of famous Bit of
reasoning once used by lady-'I am very
glad that don't like spinach; because if l
did l should always be having some for din
ner, and can't bear it," The other forbid
den formula is that which reminds speaker
mat he has altered his opinions; and is
styled the Apple Argument; because an ap-
pie, heing twitted with having changed its
color, is said to have answered tina, sit il
only bad fruit that remains always green.''
The Supreme Court of Ohio decides that
a promissory note, properly filled out
from a printed blank, except that the
amount was not written out, though put
in figures in the margin, is worthless. The
marginal figures are "a memorandum only,
and no part Of the note.

THE madonna of the Candelabra,''
genuine walnut-panel Raphael, which was
recently brought over from Europe BY its
new owne-, Mr.. Monro Butler-Johnstone.
was put on private view at the Art Museum
in New York Monday. The exhibition was,
OF course, an important event in art circles,
and the New York papers give over to it
considerable space. The general impression
produced seems to have been one of disap-
pointment. The Tribune requested the
Judgment of three eminent artists, Hubert
Herkomer, the English painter, and j. Alden
Weir and William M. Chase, wel-known
Americans, upon the advisability of buying
the picture for the Art Museum at the own
er's price, 100000. Their answers, pre-
pared without exchange of views, are inter
esting in their unanimity. They agree in
the opinion that the work has little value
save as relic, and that the large sum men
toned might be spent in other directions
with infinitely more profit.

HE Russian Senate has decided that the
Jews are incapable of holding landed prop
erty in Russia. Just what power the Rus
sian Senate has in the premises it is not
easy to determine, but the presumption is
that this decision will become law. 1t is
confession that the Russian peasant has
not brains, or strength of character. enough
to hold fast to his property against Jewish
competition and thrift. In the time of Hen.
ry Ill similar law was passed in England
to keep the Jews from owning everything
as the bu Tx of the population seemed in dan
ger OF mortgaging and losing all they pos
sessed. The passion for borrowing money
appears to be ruinous to every one except
the Hebrew. He has much safer passion
for lending on good security. These two
s''ats really have had much more to do with
Inc diserim mating and prosecuting laws en-
had. - oNet

Rum and Tobacco.

1t is evident that the people expect and
will insist upon some reduction of national
taxation. That reduction can only be ac-
somplished by cutting down the customs
duties or the internal revenue or both. The
Tariff Commission recommends a revision
of the tariff that win considerably scale the
duties, and its recommendations will, it is
probable be adopted. 1t is also probable
thatsome of the internal revenue taxes will
be struck off the list.
But it is to be hoped that Congress will
not be so unwise as to do away with the tax
es on spirituous liquors and tobacco These
are taxes on luxuries, entirely proper to i'm
pose, and to which no man who uses these
rticles can reasonably object. 1t is true
that they are war measures. It is true that
before 1860 we had paid no taxes of this
kind. We were unaccustomed to the excise
duties hich other countries had long inn
posed, fin ding them little burdensome and
in the ma in easy of collection. This shows
one of two things: that we did not need the
revenue or that we we're not wise enough
30 avail ourselves of this easy and equitable
method of obtaining it, We do need the rev.
enue nov and that revenue must either
come ftos high customs duties or from in
ternal t..x. ton. If the tax on liquors and to-
bacco is ST. icken off, the tax on many other
articles must be maintained If luxuries are
relieved from the burden, necessities must
bear it. We shall be in need of great rev
on those interests best able to bear it. There
is no reason why spirituous liquors should
not, as long as they are in use, be called
here as elsewhere to contribute to govern
ment revenue. And there is no reason why
tobacco should not be subject to a similar
burden. We trust this Congress will not
reduce the tax on either-unless it is con-
clusivey shown that such reduction will re-
suit in an increase of revenue.
The Portland daily press., 1882-12-15

BOSTON Herald: The Democratic party
is as unfortunate in its organs as it has
hitherto been in its leadership. The New
York World rebukes Senator Pendleton for
bringing forward his reform bill, and re-
minds him that ''all he can hope to do in
this Congress is to TO fasten upon the Re
publicans the responsibility of defeating
1t, and that responsibility is already clear,
complete and unquestioned." And so of
the efforts at tax reduction, the World says:
"It is the plain party interest of the Demo-
Gratis to foment discussions among the Re-
pubicans, while holding them strictly to
their responsibility for not reducing taxa
tion." Could narrower or more unpatriot-
ic view of the duty of the peoples repre-
sentatives be taken than is conveyed in these
words? Have the Democrats no duty to the
country, which is suffering under burden
some taxation aud threatened with the dan
gers and temptations incident to large sur
plus revenue, because they chance to be in
a bare minority in Congress? The World is
mistaken. 1t is not even good political
management for the Democrats to confine
themselves to ''fomentlng dissensions
among tie Republicans so as to defeat tax
reduction. There is truth in President
Hayes's cant phrase, that ''they serve their
party best who serve their country
best" 1t is the plain party interest of
the Democrats in Congress to support
every measure for the benefit of the coun-
try which is brought forward, and, if the
Republicans are slack or wrong in urging
needed Legislation, to present an alteIna-
tive policy in regard to the questions at is
sue, that the country may have some reason
for continuing The power tentatively given
to them in the recent elections. They cam
not win by artful lodging nor escape their
just share of The responsibility for the &C
ton or non-action of Congress.

WHEN Bismarck will he will, "and that's
the end ont" The Prince has made mn his
mind that American pork is, or at least
ought to be, diseased, and with this excuse
he has set out to protect German hog raisers
by the prohibition of imports of pork and
pork products from this country. A lead
ing Berlin spaper has pointed out over
and over again that American meat is cheap
er than the home product, that it's exclu-
sion will raise prices and diminish the use
OF meat by the poorer classes, and that
there is little or no evidence of bad effects
from the use of imported food. Tie
Chambers of Commerce of all the German
seapUrts have also protested against the or
der, but the Government is obdurate.
