A Beautiful Story.

Coleridge relates story to this eff
feet; Alexander, during his march
into Africa, came to people dwell
ing in peaceful huts, who knew
neither war nor conquest. Gold be-
ing offered him, he refused it. saying
that his sole object was to learn the
manners and customs of the inhabi-
tants.
Stay with u.s." said the chief, "as
long as it pleaseth thee"
During this interview with the
African chief two of his subjects
brought case before him for Judge
ment. The dispute was this: The
one had bought a piece of ground
which, after the purchase, was found
to contain a treasure, for which he
felt himself bound to pay; the other
refused to receive anything, stating
that he had sold the ground with
what it might be found to contain,
apparent or concealed.
Said the chief, looking at the enc,
"You have son." and to the other,
"You haye a daughter; let them be
married and the treasure given them
as a doWry."
Alexander was astonished.
And what" said the chief, would
have been the decision in your coun-
try ?"
"WeshouId have dismissed the par
ties and sliced the treasure for the
kings use"
"And does the sun shine in your
country ?' said the chief; "does the
rain fall there? Are the any cattle
there which feed upon the herbs and
green grass ?"
"Certainly," said Alexander
"Ah ~ said the chief, sit is for the
sake of those innocent cattle that the
Great Being permits the sun to shine,
the rain to fall and the grass to grow
in your country"

A Michigan Liar.

"Raise wheat? Who raise wheat?
No, sir decidedly no, sir. 1t raises

tiyate wheat in that State it would
run US out. There would not be any
room to put our houses"
but Pve been told that grasshop-

"Of course they do. If they didn't

cussed stuff would run all over the
State and drive US out-choke US up.

"Plump! Why, l don't know what

The New York Times has been
gathering some interesting statistics
as to the churchly condition of that
city, showing, what has been sus-
pected, that skepticism is increasing
there, while the strength of PrOtes-
tantism is on the retrOgrade. Out of
a population of 100000, inyestiga-
ton shows that only 90,579 belong to
Protestant churches. Since 1915 the
population has increased 225 per cent,
while the Protestant communions
have only gained 76 per cent. The
Episcopalians give the best showing.
The Lutherans, we are surprised to
learn, number but 1900 commune
cants. The Jews are not so strong as
one would naturally surmise, great
numbers of them having become
materialists and Indifferent to their
religion. Out of an estimated Jewish
population of60,000, the total number
of members of the synagogues is but
1887. The Times estimates the Cath
Ollie population of that city at half a
million, but Others think this is an
exaggeration, as the States census of
1875 gives it but 1862, sos. There seems
to be no doubt, however, that the
Catholic population of New York
greatly outnumbers the Protestant.

the southern part of the State and in
New Mexico, that stock run out all
winter without feeding and come out
pretty well in the spring. II is as.
tonishing how fat they will become
roaming over these broad plains
which look so barren. The short
grass appears to be thin and worth
less, but as matter of fact, appear
ances are very deceiYing in this case.
This "buffalo grass" is about four
times as nutritious as the best tim
Othy. There are some very large
cattle owners in Colorado. The late
John Hiff, who died five years ago,
had at the time of his death nearly
100000 head, on his range extending
along the Platte river to Juelsburg
on the Union Pacific road. Mr.. Far
mer Of Denver has about 35 900 on his
range few miles from that city. And
there are others who have from TO-
600 to 10000 head. This is also a fine
sheep country, the dry climate rem
dering them free from such ills as
scab foot, rot, etc. Cattle and sheep
men do not get along well together,
however, as cattle will not craze
where sheep are, and sheep will soon
destroy a grazing ground. On this
account there has been great deal
of trouble between them in the past,
whole herds of sheep having been
poisoned in a night, resulting in
quarrels by which several lives have
been lost. Small sheep herds are to
be seen in many portions of the State,
but the ranges of the big herds COM
mence about Colorado Springs, thence
south into New Mexico. Colorado
ships a vast amount of wool to the
East every year. There are a great
many MeXicans i'll South Colorado
engaged in sheep-raising, some of
whom have from 1000 to 5000 head,
The Mexican sheep shear about four
pounds of wool per annum.
The time when stock rasers catch
it is on the occasion of such a hard
winter as they had two years ago.
At that time hay sold at $500 per ton
in the San Juan country, though this
is nothing compared to the earlier
! days before irrigation when bay
sold at twenty-five cents per pound,
and green grass was as scarce as hens
! teeth. 1t is related that in the sum-
mer Of 1860 an old Frenchman made
a snug little raise at packing grass up
from what is called the FOwery Dis
trict on an old horse. This grew in
punches, about rod apart, was about
the thickness of riding-Whir, and
from six to eight feet long. Having
no scales, the old man used to count
his hay out, giving from three to
five stocks for pound. When this
Kind Of hay WAS criticised by his Gus
temers, the good old man, who did
his moving with Ratchet, was wont
to say, "Ah, sare, I agree wis .y0n.
| Zee hay is a lpetle coarse, hut he is
| very succulent. Besides, | give zee
| good weight. | neYaire cut one hay

1t is painfully evident that the late
strikes haYe resulted in most disas-
trous failures to the participants.
The railroad companies have succeed
ed in filling the places of the striking
reight-handlers, and iron and steel
manufacturers of the West have I'M
dOubtedly made money by the sus-
pension, while the resources of the
WOrkmen have been nearly exhaust
ed. The mills are mostly starting
up with nOn-uniOn men, and the
striking associations are sure to be
badly demoralized by the failure to
secure their demands. The dullness
of trade and the unprecedented i'm
migration formed an adverse cOmbi-
nation sufficient to break the back of
any ordinary strike, and it was very
unWise on the part of the labOrels to
undertake to obtain an advance in
the face of those two discouraging
conditions. The Workmen will find
it the part of wisdom to bear the ills
they have rather than fly to those
they know not of, unless they have a
good deal surer thing than was prom
ised them at the opening of the pres
ent strike.-PhiZ0. Times.

Alexandria yesterday, and twenty
Bedouins were killed. Arab Pacha
is busy erecting Notifications near
Mallaha Junction, six miles south of
the town, and his operations are facil-
itated by the drying up of Lake
MareOtis. An outbreak of the Egypt
JAMS at Port Said, the Mediterranean
enterance to the Suez Canal, is fear
ed, and the fleet has been prepared
for action. Turkey and England are
not yet agreed upon the terms of the
proclamation against Arab, and the
question is to be submitted to the
conference. The difficulty grows
out of advice given to the Sultan by
the Moslem jurists, who declare that
he cannot make common cause with
Christians against Arab, a good Mo-
hammedan. Lord Dufferin holds
firmly to the point that Turkish
troops must be placed under English
command. The Constantinople or
gan of the Porte declares that Arab
has already been semi-Gf officially adj
viSed of the proclamation. The dis
cussions of the conference yesterday
were unimpOrtant, and most of the
ambassadors are in favor of adjourn
ing the sittings. There are danger
Gus indications OF Moslem uprising
against the Christians in Syria.

that the Sultan has summoned Arab

A correspondent in the last weeks

A correspondent in the last weeks
Democrat, says:
Having occasion, some days ago,
to take the cars at Oakland for the
east, accompanied by lady, enter
ed the ladies' room at the railroad
station, and | must say, that to the
best of my recollection l never saw
such dirty room for either ladies or
gentlemen anywhere"
We have been at the station almost
daily for the past nine years, and in
all that time we never noticed the
ladies' waiting room in more I'M
tidy condition than is usual at all
stations of which we have any knowl-
edge, and they are many. 1t is true
that the station is not large enough
for the increased business of the past
few years, but the company propose
to remedy this by the erection of a
much larger building before another
season. The ear marks of this article
would lead a close observer to the
conclusion that the real correspon-
dent was the same party who inter-
viewed the Clerk to the County Com.
missioners last week in relation to
the "mutilated" records in that office.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1882-08-19
Those "Mutilated' Records.

The editor of the Democrat visited
the Commissioners Office last week
and was shown the "mutilated" rec
ords. over which he has been making
such ado for the past several weeks.
He says he found four pages cut from
Mr.. Margrof's account and two pages
cut from Mr.. Guards account. He
evidently does not think it necessary
to inform his readers whether these
accounts had been settled or not, or
whether the book was really a public
record, in the true sense OF the word,
but leaves them more in the dark
than they were before.
For the benefit of our readers we
will state our attention was called to
this matter at the time, and after
making inquiry, we did not think it
of sufficient importance for publlca-
ton. For the reasons that the book
in question is merely kept for the
convenience of the Clerk of the Com
missioners and the Collectors, and is
not required to be kept at all, and
would not be admitted in the courts
as a public record. Beside this these
accounts (1879) had been settled, and
if they had not been it could not make
the slightest difference to the collec-
tors, the commissioners or the tax
payers. These facts the editor eff the
Democrat could have gained by ask
ing any good lawyer. or any one
cOnversant with county affairs, but
the probability is that he would not
have published them ifhe had known
them, because it would not suit his
purpose in trying to put the County
Commissioners in a bad light in the
eyes of the people Of the county. 1t
is no wonder that his subscribers are
leaving him like rats deserving sink
ing ship, because they can plainly
see that he is not working for the
good Of the people of the county or
for the good of his party, but that his
whole object is to vent his spleen up
on the heads of the County Commits
sioners because they did not see fit to
levy his bill for publishing the levy
list.

Slavery in Hawaii.

Nothing in current history is more
shocking than the story Of female
slavery in the Sandwich Islands.
That the abominable practice of buy
ing and selling white girls exists
there seem to be clearly proved by the
statements of Mr.. II. LANCE, the COM
missioner for Norwegian immigrants
in Hawaii. A dative of Finland
bought a girl for seyenty-five dollars.
A negro and Norwegian, long resi-
dents of the island, purchased each a
GIRL on condition to work the three
wears agreed upon. Another man,
whose name is given, sold his SER
want to a missionary. "A plantation
oyerseer fell in love with a girl, and
proposed to her emplOver-really her
owner to buy her. The sum OF one
hundred dollars was demanded. The
alleged lover demurred and offered
a smaller sum, and, after considerable
wranging, the bargain was closed
forseventy-two dollars and fifty cents
the seller insuring the buyer that
the girl was sound and a good work
or. The traffic in human chattels Is
engaged in and encouraged by the
large planters, who rule the islands
the king, the ministers and thejudges
being under their sway. Mr.. Lange
very properly requests his govern
,nent to Forbid any more immigra-
ton to Hawaii. This beastly bust
ness is carried on in the country
whose nominal sovereign was receiV-
cd with regal honors at Windsor Cas-
lie and in several capitals on the
Continent.-SdR francisco A8eert-

Publishers of newspapers are more
poorly rewarded than any other class
of men in the country who invest an
equal amount of labor, capital, and
thought. They are expected to do
more service for less pay, stand more
sponging and dead-heading, to puff
and defend more people without fee
or hope ofreward than any other class.
They credit longer, get oftener
cheated, suffer mole pecuniary loss,
and are oftener the victim of mis-
placed confidence. People pay prin-
ter's bill more reluctantly than any
other. 1t goes harder with them to
eXpend dollar on a valuable news
paper than ten on a needless gew-
