GENTLEMEN's FASHIONS.

Paris cassimettes are light broad
cloths of summer weight that cost
sometimes as high as 50 yard.
New vests are cut with four but
tons, and have a!serpentine braid laid
: on about one-fourth of inch from the
edge.
Dress coats are now made with Il
very small cord binding on the edge,
the size of steel knitting-needle,
which gives it "a fine finish.
Full-dress trousers have a stripe
down the outside seam on the leg;
made of silk braid for young men, or
of slight cord for elderly gentlemen.
In full dress for gentlemen there
has been tendency to change lit
I tie from the conventional black cloth
to the vale cord of fine diagonals of
French manufacture.
The vest for full dress is cut as low
as the coat, with wide lapels, and is
fastened with three buttons. Any
thing extreme in the cut and finish
Of such suit is carefully avoided by
-men of taste.
The swallow-tail dress coat, with
it's low-cut front, has lappels faced
/. with the heaviest silks, and its edges
are finished with a fine cord. The
silk facing, however, is matter Of
taste and may be omitted.
Scotch homespun plaids, wOrsteds
and cassimeres, of neat, small checks
and mixed threads of color, are used
for the entire suit, coat, vest and
trousers, worn by men during bust
ness hours. The goods with red,
brown and green threads, woven to-
gether to produce quiet, dark effects,
are most liked.
Small checks and fine stripes and
dark colors will be chosen for trousers
this season. All high colored goods
will be avoided by well dressed men,
The trousers are cut medium, that is,
neither tight nor loose, and in all
cases pantaloons intended to wear
!. with a full-dress suit are made with
the pockets in the top seam, instead
of on the side or in the corner as
others. The reason given for so dis
posing of the said pocket is to get il
in such an announcement place that d
man will never be tempted to put his
hand into it in moments of idleness OF
: embarrassment.

Origin Of Tariff.

The first tariff ever imposed was in
1889. The colonies along the Atlantic
sea-board prior to this collected GUS
toms duties, and selling imports thus
taxed to those of the interior were
enabled to make these interior popu-
lations pay the cost Of governing the
coast-line populations, the latter hard
ly feeling the burdens of government
The union was created that the CEN
trail government, for the equal advan-
tage of all the states, might collect
revenues for the common purposes
of all. In the preamble to the tariff
act of 1889 it is written that
"for the encouragement and pro-
lection of manufactures, du-
ties shall be levied upon goods, wares
and merchandise imported" etc. The
first tariff averaged So per cent,
with per cent on cottons, and ~
per cent. on iron and steel. The pro-
tected class evidently liked the dou-
ceurs given by central power, and in
1880 the average rate of duties was
liz per cent, with still ~ per cent
on iron and steel, and per cent on
woolens, and a rise to ~ per cent on
cotton. These are the tariffs of whose
happy effects" Washington spoke.
Why not test the effects of such tariff
to-day? We believe that every true
and honest patriot like Washington
could approve it. A revenue tariff is
a protective tariff; but a protective
tariff loses its character and its virtue
as an agency for the production or
revenue and assumes every guise of
robbery and wrong. Industries that
only asked for s, or at most 10 per
cent as donation from the people,
now pampered and spoiled, demand
40 and so and even so per cent; and
such is their combined strength, and
such the brides they proffer; either in
money or local influence to which
Congressman owe elevation to Office,
that these protected industries are
omnipotent in legislation and the
plundered people voicelesS.

The Proper Indian Policy.
LElmira Advertiser.l


III white men. in almost any part of
the west, were guilty of committing
organized rapine and murder, the citi-
zens of the afflicted communities
would not call upon the government
twice for redress and protection be-
fore taking the matter into their
own hands. Unless an Apache is
better than white man, there is no
reason why the citizens of Arizona
are not justified in their determina-
ton to punish the murderous Indians
who have been killing men, worse
than killing women and carrying off
children into captivity. Cold shot is
about the only argument that will
have any effect upon the Apaches, and
it is to be hoped that argument will
be freely used upon them until they
can learn that helpless women and
innocent children have some rights
they are bound to respect.

The RaiIMars Of the World.

The lines of railways in the five
divisions of the earth cost, in round
numbers, 6,0OO,O00,O00; and would,
according to Baron Kolb, reach eight
times round the globe, although it is
but little over half century since
the first railway worked by steam
was opened between Darlington and
Stockton. September %, 1925, and be-
tween Manchester and Liverpool Sep
TENDER 10, 1880. 1t is shown that in
France, previous to the existence
of railways, there was one
passenger in every $4,000
killed, and one out of every 10000
wounded; whereas, between 1885 and
1875, there was but one in 5,178,0O0
killed, and one in 5S0, 450 wounded; so
that we may infer that the tendency
to accidents is yearly diminishing.
Railway travelling in England is at
tended with greater risk than in any
other country in Europe. A French
statistician observes that, if person
were to live continually in a railway
carriage, and spend all his time in
railway travelling, the chances of his
dying from railway accident would
not occur till he was 800 years old.

Origin of the Name "Texas."

A writer in a Philadelphia paper
relates the legend of the origin of the
name Texas" as told to her by Cen
eral Sam Houston when she was ii
little girl. General Houston had it
from an Indian chief, as follows: "a
long time ago, when the Spaniards
overran and plundered Mexico, some
of the red men left them and came
towards the rising sun. They crossed
the Rio Grande, and not knowing
what lay before them, entered the
great salt marshes. The Travelled
many days and found but little sweet
water or game. The weather grew
hot and many little streams dried up,
and the grass withered, and many old
men and women and children died of
thirst. One day, after many weeks
of weary walking, a party of young
braves, who had been sent
ahead to reconnoitre, came run
ming back and said: "We have
found water; come on!' This
good news put life into their veins,
and although nothing could be seen
but dry, flat, bald prairie, the scouts
were standing still calling and beck
oning to them and pointing towards
something apparently at their feet.
at length they reached the spot where
the braves were standing. Fifty feet
below them the limpid waters of the
Colorado sang a melody to heaven.
Beyond, far as even an Indian vision
could reach, stretched a green ex-
panse. The tall mesquite grass, yield
ing to the breath of the gentle south
wind, rolled in vast pillows OF YER
dure under the ardent summer sun.
Little islands of mesquite trees dot
ted this grassy sea, and herds of buff
falo and deer grazed in peaceful igno-
france of an enemy's approach. For
getting hunger, fatigue and even
thirst, in this delicious vision, the red
men fell upon their knees and cried
out: 'Tehas Tehas Tehas' is the
nearest approach in English to the
correct pronunciation of Texas, and
it means-so the narrator explains
| Paradise.

in the city of Providence twenty-five years as
clerk and proprietor in good standing, and
knows whereof he ailirmS.-ED.
Mr.. ID. says: For many years have suf
fered, intensely at times, with what is general
ly called rheumatism When first attacked L
was confined to my bed and could not walk a
step. Icould not bear the weight of the bed
clothes, so excruciating was the agony I en-
dured. 1 always noticed that before these at
tac<s came on my kidneys were affected; be-
fore there would be any pain in my limbs or
any swelling of joints or limbs, the color of the
secretions from the kidneys would be very
dark and the odor strong and feverish. The
last attack was very severe, about five years
ago, and was confined to the house several
weeks, and was unable to attend to business
in three months. During the time l was con-
fined at home and the time of my GONZALES
cence employed four of the best doctors that
could obtain, but none of them gave Inc per.
manent relief, for they did not go to work at
the cause of the trouble. Having been ac-
quainted with the proprietor of Hunts RENE
dy long time was induced by him to give it
a trial, hoping that it might reach the seat of
the disease; and after taking one bottle L
found myself very much improved, and after
taking the second was feeling better than
months previous to taking the Remedy my
hands and fingers would be much swollen and
stif every morning; my left side, in the re-
gion of the stomach and spleen, was very lame
and sensitive; at times / would be taken with
severe cramps over the spleen, and be obliged
to apply mustard or cayenne for temporary
relief; was very nervous nights and could
not sleep; was obliged to be very particular
in nay diet, and my physical system was sadly
demOraliZed. Since have taken Hunts Rem
edy Systematically all these things have
changed; 1 have no swollen hands or limbs,
no pains or cramps in the side, can eat all
kinds of food, sleep soundly and get thorough
ly rested, and my kidneys are active and per
form their functions promptly, thus taking
out of the system all the poisonous secretiOns
which contaminate the whole system where
the kidneys do not act efficiently. My friends,
what Hunts Remedy has done for me it will
do for all of you. L believe it to be the only
sure cure for all diseases of the Kidneys, LiY-
er, and Urinary organs Respectfully,
