Case of Mistaken Identity

A few days ago an elderly gentleman
with a dry, fatherly, and kind look about
him, was sauntering along Brigham street
enjoying the bracing air and the scenery
around him. AS he approached the Bee
Hive House, Brigham YOung's old resi-
dence, an elderly lady with a loose wrap
per on, and hair disheyelled, ran out, and
grabbing the old and notwithstanding
gentleman by the arm calculated: 80
Brother Taylor, how glad | am to see
you, How well you are looking!" The
white-haired old gentleman thanked her
for the compliment, and said yes he was
feeling very well indeed. The good sister
continued: cts been nearly three years.
Brother Taylor, since l was this close to
you, and it makes me feel so happy that
you are here to lead us to sal.
walton and glory" The reverential-
looking individual paused a moment, and
looking wistfully into those submits sive
eyes, said: 'And do you think Pm a
good Mormon, sIsterY' Think, Brother
TaylOr?" responded the woman, looking
wistfully into the gentleman's face.
"Why, know that you are the best Nor
mon that ever lived, and l love you
more" Here the venerable looking in
dividual saw the predicament in which
he was being placed, and not desiring to
carry the joke too far, stammered out:
"Why, why, Pm not John TAYLOR; Pm
not Mormon; Pm a Gentle, and Pm
Chairman Of the Utah Commission, and
my name is Alexander Ramsey" The
woman nearly tainted, and as the COM
missioner assisted her into the house she
was heard to remark: 'Well, you're

After devoting the better part Of two
weeks to hearing the arguments of the pro-
tectionists representing various branches
of manufacture, the Ways and Means
Committee gave a day or two. the latter
part Of the past week, TO the other side Of
the question, and had some interesting
discussions by the free traders and reve-
nue. refOrmers.
One Of the most interesting of all the
addresses made before the committee was
that Of Mr.. SheenhOf, who is a manulac-
turer of felt skirts and cloaks. He seemed
to have studied the protective tariff sys-
TEN in almost all its phases, both in this
country and Europe, and was well forth
lied with facts and figures. He showed
from trustworthy sources that in Eng
land, with tree trade, labor is paid 90 per
cent. higher wages than in Germany and
France. which protect their manufactures
by high tariff, and that despite the high
prices paid for labor in this country,
American cotton goods are able to COM
pete with the English goods in their own
markets He showed that England ex-
ported last year $103,000,000 worth Of
wooden goods, and imported only $35,OO0,-
600; while the United States exported
only $500. 600 worth of wooden goods, and
imported So. 900, 00O He believed that
were the import tax on wool abolished,
our exports of wooden goods would soon
amount to tens of millions. ''If," he says,
1.-THE low wage countries drive the high
labor competition to the wall, England
ought to be the first country to guard by
d protective wall against the influx of
German and French cheap work"
Our manufacturers export annually
only about 500, 900, 600 worth of goods all
told, while our exports of cereals and
provisions amount to $400, 1000, 600, which
are bought almost entirely by England,
Germany and France. Germany and
France are endeavoring to keep out
American provisions, while England is
exerting every possible means to develop
the resources OF India and Australia in
that line. Mr.. ShOenhOfs review of the
productions and commerce of the Euro
pean nations was quite full, and the con-
clusion he drew was that if our high pro-
tective system is continued American
farmers will soon be forced to rely on
home market for their products.
Other arguments were made before the
committee by manufacturers who are
handicapped by the present tariff. The
committee seems to be pursuing its in
vestigations patiently.

Preserrc the Forests.

Herr Lasker, the late distinguished
German statesman, just prior to his death,
in a conversation respecting his Observa-
tons in the United States, remarked that
the prodigal waste of the forests which he
everywhere noticed was a source Of pain
and regret to him. He said the time was
not distant when a system Of tree plant
ing and forest protection, such as every
where prevailed in Europe, would have
to be adopted The destruction that
was now going on without protest or him
drance, would have to be repaired, he
declared, by years Of labor and at heavy
cost. Herr Lasker IS not the only one
who has uttered a warning of this kind.
The press has for years urged the enact
ment of laws for the preservation OF for
ests and the encouragement of tree plant
ing. Something has been accomplished. On
the plains of the Northwest trees are now
extensively planted, and in less than
quarter of a century the treeless plains
will be made beautiful by numerous
groves. The great forests, however, are
rapidly disappearing before the axe and
fire. Within half a dozen years hundreds
of thousands of acres of pine lands in the
South have been cleared of trees,
and the destruction of the pine
forests is going on with continually
increasing rapidity. Who can say that
the droughts and fierce storms with which
Georgia and other Southern States have
been afflicted within the last few years
are not partially due to the loss of so large
an area of forest? If it be true that these
disasters can justly be attributed, in
measure, to this cause, what may we eX-
pect when the naval stores producers and
lumbermen have prosecuted their bust
nesses in the present wasteful way for
twenty years more? Is it not probable
that the present disastrous floods in the

There is great sorrow at St. Louis ovcr
the death of Mrs. Frederick w. Para
more, at one time known as Nellie Hazel
tine, the belle of St. Louis, says special
to the New York World. She died in her
twenty-ffth year. When a girl oftwenty
she visited the Eastern watering places,
and it was during that trip that rumor
said Samuel J. Tilden had fallen in love
with her. Dec. ,, 1881, she married Mr..
F. w. Paramore, son of Col. j. W. Para
more, President of the Texas and St.Louis
Railway. The wedding took place at
Philadelphia, was solemnized by the
Bishop Of that episcopal diocese, and was
a brilliant affair. From the date Of her
marriage she lived quietly with her hus-
band, but nevertheless INDUCED in many
social entertainments. She was quite
successful as an amateur actress. She
was very intelligent and possessed many
accomplishments. AS a conversational
ist she was particularly impressive. A
son was born on st. Valentines day. Two
days later she sent out cards for recep-
ton. She oyerrated her strength and
puerperal fever followed, resulting in her
death,
