HER SWEET REvENGE.-As the
car stopped at the Opera house cross
ing, several men got in. A lady was
seated at the front end. She had on
light wrap, bonnet which covered
only four inches of her head: kid
gloves, and only bit of lace at her
neck. The car windows were iced
over, and every breath spun out half
way across the car.
changed if I aint frozen,' said
one of the men in big beaver over
coat and fur-lined evershoes.
"Never felt the cold so in my life"
added another whose clothing must
have weighed thirty pounds.
'sBet you ten to one I've frozen
my ears,' said third as he lifted
off his seal-skin cap and removed a
heavy muffler from his neck.
There were two other men, each
having heavy overcoat, mueffir,
overshoes and warm gloves, and yet
they stamped their feet and blew on
their fingers, and declared that they
were freezing.
The lady sat there as calm and Sc
rene and as warm as toast. She saw
| the men glaring at her, and wonder
ing why on earth the marrow IN her
bones didn't turn to icicles, but she
was not disturbed. As the last one
settled back with shiver and a groan,
she pleasantly asked:
'sWill one of you gentlemen please
open the door? 1t is hot enough in
here to fry fish.
Here is a very singular illustration
of the optical delusion which change

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
They are such as are made up of
two parts of equal shapes. Look
carefully at these, and you will per-
ceive that the upper halves of the
character are very little smaller
than the lower halves-so little that
an ordinary eye declares them to be
of equal size. Now turn the paper
upside down, and, without any care
ful looking, You will see that this
! difference in size is very much exag-
gerated; that the real top half of the
letter is very much smaller than the
bottom half. 1t will be seen from
this that there is a tendency in the
| eye to enlarge the upper part of an
object upon which it looks.

AN HISTORICAL LETTER. When
John Adams had at length reached
the goal of his honorable ambition,
aud had become President of the
United States, Mrs. Adams wrote to
him the following noble and truly
wifely letter:
"You have this day." she wrote,
Ito declare yourself head of nation.
And now, o Lord, my God, Thou
hast made Thy servant ruler over the
people. Give unto him understand
lag of heart, that he may know how
10 go out and come in before this
great people that he may discern
between good and bad. For who is
able to judge this Thy SO great
gpeople?' were the words of royal
sovereign, and not less applicable to
him who is invested with the chief
aagistracy of q nation, though he
wear not crown nor the robes of
royalty.
my thoughts and my meditations
SIRE with you, though personally alb
sent; and my petitions to Heaven are
that things which make for peace
may not be hidden from your eyes. )
My feelings are not those Of pride
or Ostentation upon the occasion.
They are solemnized by sense of
Che obligations, the important trusts,
and numerous duties connected
with it. That you may be enabled to
discharge them with honor to yourself
with justice and impartiality TO your
country, and with satisfaction to this
great people, shall be the prayers of
your A. AZ
Who can doubt the ennobling in
Huence which these words had upon
she sturdy old statesman, to nerve
aim up to the honest performance Of
duty according to his lights. and to
strengthen tie infexible integrity
of bis character under its new sur
Fonndings and temptations.

LETTER FROM GEN. BUTLER.
He Defines His Position Upon the Tarif
lis not in Favor of Free Trade.

DETROIT, May "a.
The evening Journal publishes this after
noon the following letter from Gen. Butler,
giving explicit utterance to his views on the
tariff question
BosroN, Mass, Nav 10, 1884.
To c. NJ. Hubbard, Managing Editor of the
Detroit Evening Journal.
Dear Sir:
There is so evident good faith in your
communication to me that l break the Gus
tom in answering a specific question as to my
political views on specific subject Perhaps
upon the subject of the tariff I can give
them in q word, for never have concealed
them. We cannot have free trade in this
country, however desirable it would be. Our
country is so large. our inter-
ests so vast, and so much is
to be done by the general gov
ernment. that for a series of years we must
raise hundreds of million dollars by taxation
of some sort. By the constitution taxation
know is by direct tax in proportion to the
number of inhabitants of a State. The
genius of our people will not permit of that
direct tax, and therefore indirect taxation
must be resorted to. From the beginning OF
the government to this time taxation by
duties on imported articles has been the re-
sort Of our government. EXCEPT in times OF
war, for a limited period, other methods of
taxation had been tried, because the duties on
imports were insufficient. Therefore favor
the raising of the amount of the revenue for
an economical administration of the govern
ment, and no more, from duties on imports,
and in laying these duties to tax all articles of
luxury up to the collection point, to make
free all raw materials not raised or produced
in this country which enter into its arts and
manufact and the actual necessities of
life, as much as possible, and to cheaper
them in every way possible, and within those
hints to so judiciously place our duties as to
best encourage and aid American industry.
If could would also devote the taxes on
whiskey and tobacco to a fund to pay the re-
naming debts of war only, to wit to PEN
sions and the care of soldiers disabled by the
war. l do not know as l need make any
further statement on this topic.
am very truly yours,
BENZ. F. BUTLER.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Chas. Francis Adams Makes State.
ment Concerning the Condition Of
the Union Pacific Railroad.
BosIoN, NAV 25.

BosIoS, May 25
The Advertiser will tomorrow print an in
terview with Chas. Francis Adams, Jr., who
has just returned from the West, whittier he
went to examine into the condition of the
Union Pacific railroad. Mr.. Adams found
that the expenses of the road could be ma.
terialy reduced, and general lessening will
be made of the current expenses, the details
of which have as yet not been made, but will
be perfected at an early date. The decrease
in the net earnings of the road during the
winter came from a variety of causes. One
was the severity of the winter which had in
terfered with the trade. This was especially
the case in Colorado. Another reason was
the falling off of freights, the direct result of
the rate war in Utah, the worst of which was
over, and also to the competition the road
now has to contend with. This competition
was greatly felt in Montana and Idaho. He
thought that during the remainder of the
year the net earnings would show favorable
comparison With those of last year The
passenger traffic was quite good and there
was prospect Of good freight business at
the usual rates during the remainder Of the
year. In relation to the negotiations pending
between the Union Pacific and the Denver
Western Pacific, he declined to express an
opinion, as he was not sufficiently informed
on the matter.

A BIG BLAZE.
Oil Tanks Blown up to Escape Further
Loss-Five Acres Burned Over-Loss
100000.

PHILADELPHIA. May "a.
The fire at the Atlantic Oil Works which
broke out at 10. 80 last night spread during
the night and at and $50 o'clock this morn
ing, two additional alarms we're sent to the
fire department. The flames are still sweep
ing over the works. About dozen storage
tanks have burst and considerable burning
oil escaped. Efforts are being made to to run
off the remainder in tanks. The parafin e
works consisting of several brick buildings
have been destroyed; they were located back
of the refinery. All the wharf property and
and the refinery, which is in close proximity
to the street, are in danger. 1t is thought
that with the force of men at work that can
be saved. All the oil property at Point
Breeze is considered in peril. The pro-
prietor of the Belmont Oil Works which are
located between the Atlantic Company's g prop
erty and Point Breeze Gas Works. has made
application to Gen. Hartranft, commander Of
the division, to send detail of the Keystone
battery to blow up the tanks Of the Belmont
Works and save the property, and prevent
the fire from spreading to the Gas Works.
At noon IA tanks Of oil were abaze and
several more were in great danger. The
flames have now spread over an area of five
acres and will very likely continue to burn
for some DAYS. The hremen feel confident
that they can keep il confined to the oil now
burning. A change in the wind may spread
the flames to some unexpected quarter. It 10
now said that the loss will reach eeO0, 900.
At midnight the situation was practically
unchanged. Late this afternoon the 25, 900
barrel tank took fire and cannon we're as
once fired into it. The oil poured out in
torrents and the battery men and Aremen
we're obliged to run from the burning fluid
and leave the guns to be destroyed. The oil
there burned without doing other damage.

devoted to liquidating the debt of the church,
but which the article charged had been ap-

Europe Father Boniface was alleged to
have. to Q certain extent, followed in the
footsteps of Joachim, in that these collec-
tions we're SAID not to have been applied to
the objects for which they were intended by
the parish. He was also charged with bru-
tality and extortion.

charges are false and that Boniface has de-
creased the church debt.

and Then Cuts Her Own.


ST. LOUIS, May %.
Early this morning Mrs. Alexander Ed
mont Of 1910 South Compton avenue, left
her bed and going to an adjoining room forced
open her husbands desk and procured q
razor. Returning to . bedroom she cut the
throats of her three months old baby. Gers
ter, and her four years old daughter Carrie,
and then passing into the next room drew the
razor across the throat of her daughter Emma,
six years old. but did not make . very deep
wound. She then went into her own room,
lay down beside the dead babies and cut her
own throat. The child Emma will recover,
but the condition of the mother is critical.
The latter was insane.
