Mr. fuckers SPLENDID TARIFF
SPEECH.-Mr. Tucker got the tioor tn'
day, and made tariff speech which was
in every way worthy Of his reputation,
and which is greatly praised to.nigh'
by everybody. Every member paid tht
stricteet attention, and Republicans and
Democrats alike crowded around him
at it's close and congratulated hin
warmly. He evidently had planned t.
make calm argument, but the inter
ruptions of Messrs. Kelly and Haskell
during the first fifteen minutes of hls
speech fired it up, and his style became
az animated as possible. These inter
ruptions closed amid the applause of the
Democratic side when he completely
endorsed Ny. Haskell and sent him to
the rear. He wac arguing that ther.
might be even twenty millions reduc
ton in a tariff bill and yet the burdens
of the people might be increased BY
prohibitlry provisions. For example.
said he. under the present tariff cotton
ties are 35 per cent. ad a1lorens, and
under the committees bill about So per
cent, which is pFOhibitory. Hence,
| while there will be no duty derived
from ties, the burdens of the southern
people are increased and the monopo-
lists benefited. Mr.. Haskell excitedly
interrupted him and said that the state
nent was SO utterly incorrect that he
could not remain silent, He then read
from q paper to show that the duty haO
only been slightly increased. Mr.. Tuck.
er stood with folded arms and waited
until he was through, when. taking W
the paper reported from the Ways and
Means to the House, he read that cot
ton. ties, under the present bill, is 81 per
cent dd gaLoren1 This was greeted wi b
a storm of applause on the Democratic
side, while the Republicans kept quiet
and looked at each other In disgust
Have you any more questions?" said
Mr. Tucker in loud voice. Mr.. Has

a mortal would be consoled in his mere

THE CAVALIERS SONG.
BY WILLIAM MorHERwE1L

A steed steed of matchless spede!
A sword of metal keeneI
All else to noble heartes is drosse,
All else on earth is meane.
The neighynge of the war-horse provide.
The rowleinge of the drum,
The clangour of the trumpet lowde,
Be soundes from heaven that come.
And, o the laundering presse of knightes,
Whenas their war-cryes swelle,
May tole from heaven an angel bright,
And rowse fiend from hell!
Then mounte then mounte, brave gallants all
And don your helmes amaine;
Deathes couriers, Fame and Honour. call
Us to the field againe!
No shrewish teares shall fill our eye,
When the sword hilt's in our hand;
Heart-whole we'll parte, and no whit sighe
For the fayrest of the land.
Let piping swaine, and craven wight,
Thus weepe and pulling crye;
Our business is like men to f1ghte,
And like to heroes die!
When some ones step comes up the Walk
Your cheeks take on roster hue;
And though no other hears his knock,
You hear it well-you know you do!
And when his arm steals round your CHAIR
You give smothered scream or two,
AS if you didn't want it there;
But, oh you do-you know you do!
! You let him kiss your blushing cheek;
Somehow your lips meet his lips. too;
You tempt him pretty things to speak.
You wicked flirt-you know you dol
And when he timidly doth press
His wish 10 make wife of you,
With happy heart you answer yes,
You darling giri--you know you do!

THE ENTRAPPED jews. IL u hotel or
lodging house at Milan, o Ffenehman
and two Jews were resident at one and
the same time. The Jews occupied a
chamber adjoining that of the French
man, who formed an acquaintance with
them in consequence. He observed
them to be very rich, as they often
counted great bags of Spanish pistoles
in his presence. This led him to the
| following guilty device. He cut or tore
off considerable portion of g. night
wrapper or gown belonging to him, and
contEived not only to Leave it in the
chamber of the Jews, but to watch the
use they made of 1t. They employed it
to wrap up parcel of the hundred piss
toles On the morning after observing
this the FreDchman, az he arose, alarm
ed the house with cries Of robbery |!
Everybody ran to his chamber, and
there heard him tell melancholy tale
of the loss of one hundred pistoles
which he had wFapped up in the front
of his gown. He asserted that some
one must have entered while he slept.
and cut away the part of the gown with
the money. The officers of justice were
called in to examine the house. In the
chamber of the Jews was found the
portion of the gown. and the French
man then called, "There is my money!"
The Jews were timorous men, and
were thrown into confu sion. This
strengthened the case against them.
and the consequence Wsg that they were
executed. At an after period, the guilty
author of their death confessed tic con
spiracy by which he had implicated
them.

In the affirmative. Editor, manager

all had their claims. A little after. the

of splendid homestead but a few
miles from town. What he had done
was true of gentlemen of all professions
generally in Dakota. They all own
large tracts. The newsman on the

They ran out to spend every other Sun
day in their shanties or ''shacks,' - and
this constituted their residences. Hired
men worked the claims for them, and
they were able to earn handsome
wages in the Huron hotel, nearly
eighty miles away. The fertile lands
comprising all these various claims be-
longed to the United States Govern
ment only little time ago. They cost
their owners next to nothing. and are
now held at prices ranging from So to
$40 an acre. What has been done in
Southern Dakota can still be done in
Central Dakota, and the readers of the
american Agriculturist who would
avail themselves of the opportunities
presented, must move quickly. We

sire them to share in the great land
