TIT for Tat.

Colonel Clepmore, editor Of the
Daily Blue Wing, went fishing one
Sunday and broke his leg. The
Rev. Mr.. Gidfelt heard of the acct
dent, and, in his Sunday evening
sermon said: Here We have a
striking example of the retribution
following the violation Of the Sab
bath. If Colonel Clepmore had
been at church he would not have
broken his leg"
The following Sunday, Is the
Rev. Mr.. Gidfelt was ascending the
steps of the pulpit, he stepped on
a piece of orange peel, dropped by
a child of the Sunday school, slip
ped, fell and broke his leg. The
next issue of the Blue Wing con
tanned the following: Here we
have a striking example of the ret
ribution following self-appointed
censorship. If the Rev. Mr.. Gid
felt had been fishing he would not
have broken his leg. "-Arkansaw

Internal Revenue Receipts.
It is said that the internal rev.
enue receipts in this State, for the
fiscal year, ending June 30, 1894,
amounted to only 1897. If such
is the fact, the receipts do not cover
the cost of collecting the revenue,
and the Government would save
money by permitting Nevada brew
ers and liquor and cigar dealers to
transact their business without
paying the revenue tax. The Sill
yer State suggests this.

As was said by General Grant,
the Democratic party may always
be depended on to make the blum
der at the right time. 1t has just
leaked out the Dem cratic Con-
gressional Committee has been
flooding the country with Repub-
lican campaign document,u under the
erroneous impression that; it was
disseminating Democratic dec
trines. CONSERVATION, of course,
ensues.

THE OLD DODGE,

Each year the managers Of the
Mechanics Fair succeed in secur-
ing a picture for the art gallery
that the churches will rail at and
advertize. The nude picture
"Aw akening' was strong card
last year, and now a picture by
Dahl representing young lady
coming down a step ladder and ex-
posing an ample and beautifully
turned ankle. It is just possible
that some Of the calf is thrown in
by the artist, and You can rest as
sured that if Dahl painted it it is an
artistic work. Well, several
preachers have turned loose upon
it and the result is a great rush
and an overlooking exchequer for
the Fair. The clergy seem to labor
under the mistaken idea that they
have some authority in art matters.
For several hundred years the
churches have meddled with art.
but painters go right on painting
the beauties Of the human figure
in their own wonted way. Less
than hundred years ago the
church made an attempt to regu-
late the length of the ballet skirts
in London, and the result was
that the skirts were discarded alto
gether and the war ragged against
the ballet crowded the theatres and
brough t the ballet to the front. 1t
is only on &c in a life time that an
artist succeeds in drawing down
upon his work the wrath Of the
church, accompanied by its incom-
parable advertising faculties, and
he is to be congratulated upon his
good luck.

TWO OPINIONS.

When the New York Herald had
no idea tina: 50 obscure a man at
Cleveland would be nominated by
the Democrats it spoke the honest
sentiments of its heart as follows:
'These settled principles are ap-
plicable to the questions raised by
the Five Cent Fare bill. Gov.
Cleveland appears to be ignorant Of
them or to have conveniently over
looked them. In his veto message,
which is substantially 4 copy Of
the brief of the counsel for the ele-
waited roads,. he omits reference to
many decisions, nor does he cite
a single authority in support of his
own views" This talk about a
breach of the plighted faith of
the State is a mere subterfuge. ?"
"The people are not willing to ac-
cept the views of either the COM
pany's lawyers or Cleveland as de-
cisive of this important question. "
This was in March. Now it
takes the following fresh view Of
the matter:
Three vetoes have been cited by
Gov. Cleveland's enemies in their
attempt to prejudice the laboring
classes against him. Not one of
these vetoes nor all OF them to-
gether show the least lack of cor
dial sympathy ON his part with the
cause and interests Of the working
men. The Five Cent Fare bill,
which he vetoed on conditional
grounds, was not Intended to secure
cheap fares for laboring men, nor
would it have had that effect
for the obvious reason that the
fare was already FIVE cents during
the hours when IS per cent. of the
masses have to ride on the elevated
roads"

A Mormon Woman who did not Like Her
Husbands Children.

Even the paralyzing hand of reli-
| glous fanaticism cannot stii1e human
nature. 1t may degrade the intellect
and subiugate the soul, but in NOM
ents of supreme trial instinct is sure TO
assert itself against any artificial en-
vironment that has been set up to in
sure its captivity. The pages of his
tory are dotted all over with illustra-
tions of this truth, and its evidences
are renewed whenever the passing of
events afford occasion. One of these,
witnessed by party of tourists in
Utah, is not without Impotence in its
beatings upon welghty and obscure
problem which before long will con-
front the peoples representative states
men. The tourists had been calling
upon Mormon elder living in small
town between Salt Lake City and Og-
den. One of the four wives OF the
elder was to take the train for Ogden,
and the party were requested to note
the affectionately effusive manner in
which the woman would part from her
sister wives and from the brood of
children-some twenty or more-who
formed no insignificant portion of the
common household. The woman--a
haid-iaced, thoroughly drilled Nor
moness of 4O-shook hands with her
associates in conjugality, and dutifully
turned to kiss the children goodbye.
Catching hold of the nearest frowsy-
headed youngster, she had almost be-
slowed a salute upon its mouth when
she saw that it was not one other own.
1t was hastily thrust aside,and the next
one, proving to be of the proper stripe,
it was given sounding and almost re-
vengeful kiss. The next two were cur
sorily inspected, and after some hesi-
tation the woman, avoiding the glar-
ing eyes of her lord, passed them by
with a disdaiuful push. Another of
the right breed was found, but the
three following ones were astonished
by the irate mother, baked nnexpect-
edly in the search for her own. Thus
alternately cutting and caresslng she
made ner way through the astonished
brood until one of the other wives,
enraged at seeing her children sub
ected to indignity, rushed forward to
inflict chastisement on the offender. An
impromptu free fight followed, the
elder being compelled to seek aid from
the spectators before peace was restor-
ed War broke out again, however,
and when the woman finally broke for
the train she was without travelling bag
or umbrella, one glove was ripped
nearly off, and her bonnet and hair
indicated an advanced stage of demo-
ralization. AS the train moved away
,she poured out voluble denunciations
of her antagonists, who replied with
equal vigor and trebly condensed ener-
gy. The tourists who witnessed this
episode in the history of a quadruplex
household felt that they had seen the
machine running when it was out of
order. The prophet-patented purvey-
ors of celestial peace ground out of the
Endowment House had slipped cog,
so to speak, and discordant jarring
usurped for the time the place where
should be heard only the droning hum
of pleasant content.

ONE THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND AND "RIGH1
SMART OF BEARS

ONE THOUSAND ACRES OF LAND AND "RIGHT
SMART OF BEARS
on the deck Of a big Mississippi steamboat stood
an aged Southern planter Indicating by sweep
OF his arm the waters the boat was passing over,
he said to passenger from the North "when ]
was twelve years old killed my first bear on a
new plantation my father was then cutting out OF
forest that grew directly over the waters OF this
bend. That was mighty good plantation, and
there was right smart OF bears there, too. But
that one thousand acres OF land went into the Mis-
| sissippi years ago."
1t putting no strain upon the figure, TO say
that great forests OF youthful hope, womanly
beauty and manly strength are swept In the same
way every year Into the great, turbld torrent OF
disease and death. Yet it should not be So That
tis so Is disgrace as well a loss. People are
largely too careless or too stupid TO defend their
own interestS-the most precious OF which Is
health. That gone, all Is gone Disease Is simple,
but TO reckessness ignorance the simplest things
might as well be complex as proposition In Comic
sections AS the huge Western rivers which so
often flood the cities along their Shores arise In
few mountain springs, so all our ailments can be
traced 10 impure blood and small group OF dis
ordered organs.
The most effective and inclusive remedy for dis
ease Is PARkERS TONIC. 1t goes to the sources
OF pain and weakness. In response to its action
the liver, kidneys, stomach and heart begin their
work afresh, and disease Is driven out. The Tonic
Is not, however, an ntoXlcant, but cures desire
for strong drink. Have you dyspepsia, rheuma-
| tism, or troubles which have refused to yield To

RAISING CHIcKENs.-In breeding for
early market, it is important to have a
breed that grows rapidly and fleshes up
young the skin should be yellow, and
if the feathers are all white, both the
chicks and old fowl will look much
better when dressed than those with
colored feathers. The color of the
skin is important, yet half of the fowls
that are sent to market have anything
but yellow skin. Small bone, short
legs and well-rounded form are also
desirable, and size, when full grown,
not less than five pounds, and not over
six before dressed, give the best early
chicks for market. None of thes,
qualities are an injury to laying hen
and if to them are added good layers
hardy and quiet, we have combined
the points necessary for both meat ant
| eggs.

A Letter From Washington.

The following letter is taken from
an old Edinburg Eoening Curant,
dated September 9th, 1856. 1t was
addressed "to gentleman in Dublin"
whose name is not given:
Sir: For the honor you have done
me in calling your only child by my
name, and, that, too, you added, when
the issue of the American struggle
stood suspended, pray you to accept
my best acknowledgements my
thanks are also due for your politeness
in sending me piece of linen of your
staple manufacture and i am particu-
larly indebted to you for the favorable
wishes and hattering expressions of
your letter to me of the 4th of August
last.
"Your country has my best wishes
for the fullest fruition OF everything
that is interesting to the rights of man
kind and you, sir, that you may be
principal sharer of them.
"Being your most obedient and very
humble servant. G. WASHINGTON.
"Mount Vernon, March 10th, 1856"
In the same old newspaper we find
the following remarks upon American
affairs. The writer would be some
what astonished if he could now behold
that empire beyond the Atlantic con-
cerning whose prospects his anticipa-
tions have proved as unfounded as his
language was ungrammatical
''The affairs of America are still in.

cy can be expected to their present
divided form of Government, and un-
less they again become colonial posses
sions to some Power the establishment
of an empire must be the work of ages.
The late edict passed in Virginia rela-
tive to religion shows that they have
already trespassed in their Constitu-

} mittance, however, to this country of
money have been considerable .
