Too Much Rope.

Some time since a number Of lum-
Der dealers and raltsmen complained
that a lot of human sharks preyed on
their tow lines and one or two darkies
were arrested. The police have been
particularly anxious to capture Eli
Anderson, who was the biggest thief
Of them all. He was captured once
but managed to elude the officers by a
tricky proceeding on the part ola
junk dealer. Anderson was captured
last Saturday evening aud sent to Jail
to-day.

Think of $15 dollars worth of shay
ing among half dozen Congressman
for of course their wives don't
shave-in the few days they spent at
the academy. With four dollars
worth of cards on hand they must
have been so busy playing poker that
they had little time for inspection.
And the umbrellas. OF course no
honorable house would refuse to lend
his guests an umbrella apiece, and if
they didn't bring them back, it was
only in keeping with an ancient and
honorable custom which has long
been equivalent to a law-and the
law maker OF the nation should re-
spect law. The judicious reader will
observe the last two items under the
head of liquid refreshments and to-
bacco. A good deal of "wines, liz
uors and mineral waters" can be pur-
chased for $3.50 if you buy them all
at once, particularly of the sort which
the average western Congressman
drinks at home. And 1852 worth of
cigars will 60 great ways too. A
good enough cigar for General Grant
can be bought for s10S per thousand.
We have known members of the
house to buy five-centers when they
had to pay for them out of their own
pockets. In this case the half dozen
statesmen who inspected the academy
must have smoked $500 in about a
week, if they did not carry away their
pockets full when they left. A dis
patch from Washington speaking of
this bill says it is considered unwise."
Yes, but it will be paid all the same,
and the gentlemen who enjoyed this
sample of dead beating will recon-
mend generous appropriation for
the academy which entertained them.

The Origin of Calculation.

Mr.. Joseph Hardcastle recently de-
livered an address before the Institute
of Accountants and Bookkeepers on
"The Origin of Calculation as De-
duced from Evidence in Languages"
Mr.. Hardcastle said it was not sur
prising that during the earlier races
of mankind the system of computa-
ton was never intricate or elaborate,
as their needs were simple and few.
The number three was the limit of
arithmetical conception of many of
the ancient races, five Of others and
ten in still others. 1t was rather cur
ious that none of the ancient limits
are expressed by six, seven, eight or
nine, but the explanation was given
by the speaker later on in his address.
In the stricter sense Of limits of in
telligence, meaning the idea conveyed
by numbers, how very few, even in
this enlightened age, are able to COM
prehend and take in large numbers.
For instance, take two maps, one con-
tanning 1000 objects and the other
1,001, and who can detect the differ
ence. Yet the same difference Gomez
divides two and three. Thanks to our
system of notation, we can proceed in
all cases of comparison and estima-
ton as readily as if the maps were of
three and four objects only.
The word calculation is derived
from the Latin culculus, pebble.
There are several familiar Latin
phrases in which the word occurs, al
lowing that pebbles were used to count
with by the Romans. The Thracians
used white pebbles to mark fortunate
days, and black one for the ancient
Fridays. The system of counting and
comparing numbers by means of these

against the fatiguing labors of their
office. They SOW not, neither do they
spin, but Solomon in all his glory was
not provided for, except in the single
item of women, like unto one of these
Congressman when he goes off with
half dozen of his fellows on tour
of inspection, or to a Presidents flu
neral, at the expense of his country.
Consider the board of visitors to the
naval academy, for instance, and the
bill of expenses allowed for their en-
tertainment. There were about half
a dozen of them. The academy is
about an hours journey from Wash
ington, so that if the board were real
ly in hurry to attend to business,
they could run down every morning
after breakfast, 60 at the work of in
spection and be back in Washington
at the usual dinner hour-about 6 to
7P.M. But that is not the way Con-
gressmen do business. They begin by
collecting all their wives and children
and wives relations, and then move
down upon the academy in force and
special car. Arrived at their destina-
ton they are quartered in the best
rooms of the establishment, and they
settle down to have a nice, comfort
able time at the expense of that gen.
erous provider, Uncle Sam. When
the bill comes back it reads like this:

We had supposed during election
that the Auditor General had con-
strued the law as being discretionary
with him (Which it undoubtedly isl
and that he was using this discretion
in behalf of the people of this State,

to be perpetrated. The consequence
was that during the late election we
said nothing in reference to this mat

Throughout the State make mention of
it. Scarcely are the returns in from
the late election, before this steal is in
active operation, and the people are to
be swindled and robbed out of the
cost of printing these-well we don't
know what you call them. They are
not tax sales because no sale is to take
place. The Auditor General does not
give them any name. The adver-
tisement does not state for what pur-
pose the notice is given, but we call
it the tax printing swindle and steal
If the Auditor-General had fair
ly and honestly set forth the purpose
of the advertisement, his heading to
the same would have been something
as follows: Notice is hereby given
that by virtue of a discretion given
me by Act No. 300, Laws of 1881, as
amended by Act Z, Laws of 1882,
have designated certain Republican
papers in the State of Michigan to
publish certain tax lists in order to
enable them to steal from the State
treasury between $4,000 and $4,000
for the reason that the editors of these
said papers have petitioned and asked
me so to do"

stated the true purpose of the adver-
tisement, but Of course il would have

There was once a Farmer, whose
Farm was the envy of all the country
around.
One day the Farmer saw some
caterpillars making free with the
leaves of his shrubbery.
Pest on the things /" said he.
1.-The darned Worms are spelling the
place! I'll get some of those English
Sparrows that are so highly COM
mended."
SO the farmer imported a few Eng.
lish Sparr0ws, and felt happy again.
But soon the Sparrows multiplied
to an amazing extent, and, neglect
ing the Worms, swarmed upon his
standing crops and destroyed them.
Just my darned luck !" cried the
Farmer. 1.-The Worms were simply
an occasional annoyance. Fool that
| was to seek relief at the hands of
the Unsuitable English Sparrow
MORAL.-Dull times may some.
times prevail under American Pro-
lection, but to seek relief by English
Free Trade would be absolute Ruin.

The State Department has infOrm-
alton from abroad indicating that the
very excellent wheat crop, not only
in this country but in Europe, has re.
duced prices there already, and that
the producers of this country may as
well make up their minds to accept
low rates for their wheat this year.
The sudden termination Ofthe Anglo.
Egyptian war also has IA depressing
influence on the prospective values
on BreadotuffS, for it not only lessons
the demand, but reopens the Suez
Canal, through which considerable
portion of the supply of England now
comes from India. The breadstuff
crops Of the world are this year re-
mar kably large, and when it is learn
ed that the United States will alone
have over 300,00O,0O0 bushels of
wheat for expectation alone, the
largeness Of the supply is quite evil
dent. From present appearances it
is believed that the surplus in this
country this year will be nearly
double that Of any preceding year.

Terrific EarthnnakeS.

PANAMA, Sept. 14.-The States of
Panama, Columbia, Costa Rica and
Nicaragua have experienced since
the 18th instant series earthquakes
widely differing in intensity as well
as in locality. In this city the first
was felt about 1920 A. NJ. on the 18th,
followed half an hour later by a Sec
ond. Both shocks were general
throughout the state, and were felt
in Carthagena, in the State of Boil
var; in Rivas, Nicaragua, and in
Gr9ytoWn, Nicaragua, $50 miles from
the other places named. The alarm
here was great. The walls of over
sixty houses were injured, but none
fell, and no one injured. The crown
of the pediment of the Cathedral fell,
hurting 200 tons of masonry through
the roof and into the central square.
The wide balcony of the legislative
assembly also came down into the
central square. The officers of the
Inter-Oceanic Canal Company, form
erly the Grand Hotel, were damaged
to the extent of $4,000. AspinwaIl
suffered less, the houses being gener-
ally of fragile materials. Probably
S250,000 will cover damages in this
city, and third of that sum in the
rest of the isthmus. The numerous
shocks since have done little damage.
The loss of lite has been trifing, one
death occurring in AspinwalI and
another in Gatun from falling walls.
Two doctors lost their lives by jump
ing from windows. The people have
been terribly frightened, being I'M
used to earthquakes alarms. Several
of the Panama Railroad embark
ments were severely damaged. The
cable from Aspinwall to Jamaica was
broken by the first shock at point
so miles from the isthmus.
