The Atlanta Constitution draws an
interesting contrast between the present
and the last preceding Democratic ad-
ministration. Under Buchanan, it says.
the federal patronage extended to forty
thousand officers; the Senate and the
President were OF the same party; "no
Civil Service act covered and protected a
large body of officials, and no tenure of
Office act prevented removals OF those
appointed for a fixed term" When Nh.
Cleveland came into power there were a
hundred and fourteen thousand federal
offices held mostly by Republicans, a
Senate controlled by the opposition and
the power Of appointment and removal
limited by acts of Congress.
When Mr.. Buchanan was inaugurated
there were thirty.one States; when Mr..
Cleveland was sworn in there were
thirty.eight. The former was the Pres.
ident of twenty-three million people; the
latter is the Chief Magistrate of ifty-ive
millions. In the time Of Buchanan the
House consisted of two hundred and
twenty.eight members; it now numbers
three hundred and twenty-five. The
popular vote in 1856 was three millions,
almost all white; in 1884 it was ten mill
ions and included blacks in every State.
In 1856 the Government receipts were
seventy.four million dollars; in 1884 they
reached three hundred and fifty millions.
The expenditures, excluding interest,
amounted to sixty-six millions in 1856
and two hundred and forty-four millions
in 1884.

Southern contemporary, to show that
the growth of the country has thrown
upon Mr.. Cleveland duties and response
bilities that former Democratic Presidents
did not experience" and it adds that '.if

ARTICLES OF FOOD.

The London Telegraph is vainly trying
to persuade US that everything that
crawls, flies, swims or runs is good for
food. 1t may be so, but still we confess
to preferences which can't easily be in
vaded. We always read OF the Southern
clay eaters with a sickly sort of interest,
and readily admit the right of the negro
to make a supper off a handful of tortu-
u angle worms if they happen to suit
the taste, but do not care to be present
at the feast. Doubtless fried rattlesnake
is toothsome if one has been brought up
on that kind of diet, and we choose to
take it for granted, without personally
trying the experiment, that rattlesnake
eggs are delicious and have a decided
musky favor. Epicures may smack
their lips over the nutritious grasshopper
or the luscious locust, but as for us our
taste is too simple to relish such things.
There is one dish, however, never on
the bill of fare, which every man at one
time or other unwillingly eats-namely,
crow. Professor Riley, of Washington,
says he likes the taste of the bird, but
we have a strong impression that the
great majority of those who have in
dulged in this luxury will painfully ad-
NIT that eating crow is very disagreeable

The death of Victor Hugo recalls,
among other things, a romantic episode
which seems to be unknown here and
forgotten even in France. 1t is the cap
ture of the famous brigand, Fra Diavolo,
by Gen. Hugo, father of the great poet.
The General, who was a son of a carpen-
ter, was born in Nancy, in Lorraine, and
was quite a young officer at the time of
the capture Of the famous brigand. He
preserved the dagger of The brigand for
many years. When a museum in his
native town was opened he made a pres
emit OF the dagger to that institution,
where it is still to be seen. The true
name of Fra Diavolo vas Michele Pezza.
Contrary to the conmon belief he was
never a monk.

A Probable Csl BlOoded Murder.
SIERRAvILLE, Cal, June Johnny
Delaney, living in Humbug Valley. came
into townsville. Plumas county, about 10
O'Clock last night and surrendered him
self to the officers, stating that he had
killed G. E. Smith, . neighbor. known as
Ned Smith. Delaney's statement was that
Smith, while driving past his place, stop
ped aud came to his house. He called
him to the door snd commenced shooting.
Delaney replied with a shotgun, loaded
with buckshot, killing him instantly. Sew
eral parties Immediately vent to the scene
and found Smith dead, but found evidence
that led them to doubt Delaney's story.
The body was found not far from the
house, but had evidently been packed from
some other place. It is believed that De-
laney murdered Smith in cold blood, as he
was passing the house. The citizens in
the vicinity are greatly excited, and
thought that Delaney should be taken from
the officers and lynched. There was an
old feud existing between Smith and De-
laney a short time ago. Smiths barn was
burned, and Delaney was suspected OF in
cendiarism.

COLLECTION OF DELINQUENT TAXES.
Opinion by the Acknowledgement Regarding
Fees Which Treasurers May Collect.

"What fees do county treasurers get for col
Letting delinquent taxes2" Auditor of State Rice
asks Encouragement Hord.
"It is my opinion" the Attorney-general an
swers, ''that the county treasurer is entitled to
6 per cent fees on all delinquent tax collected
between the third Monday in April and the last
day of December succeeding, at which last-men-
toned date the new tax duplicate must be placed
in the treasureris hands. After the transfer of
the delinquent tax to the new duplicate, such
treasurer is not entitled TO any fee for collecting
the delinquent part of said duplicate more than
he is entitled to by law for collecting the dupli-
cate of the current year. Where delinquent tax
and penalty is paid upon demand, such treasurer
shall charge and receive from such delinquent.
In addition to the taxes and penalty, the sum of
70 cents, and where a levy is made, he shall
charge and receive, in addition to his
other costs, the sum of 80 cents
tor such demand. Besides this the treasurer
for levying and making sale of personal property
to pay delinquent taxes is allowed the same fees
and charges as are allowed by law to constables
for making levy and sale of personal property on
execution (Section $685. and expenses for taking
care OF property levied on"
What penalty is annexed to taxes becoming
delinquentl'
1.-THE Legislature may impose a penalty for the
non paymentof taxes. The imposition of penalties
for the no~n-payment of taxes is one of the means
employed to enforce the prompt payment there
of, and is a legitimate exercise of the taxing
power. If the first installment of tax is not paid
On or before the third Monday in April, both
installments become due and are returned de-
~linquent. and collected as provided by law, and
both installments being due, a penalty of 10 per
cent. on the amount of each is added, which the
person or property assessed shall pay. together
with cost OF collection, and if said taxes remain
delinquent and unpaid at the succeeding first
Monday in November a penalty of 6 per centum
is added to all of such taxes. If the April install
ment is paid and the November installment is
not paid on or before the first Monday of Nevem-
Der a penalty of 10 per centum is added thereto.
This construction has been given to the statute
by Attorney-general Baldwin (Baldwin's Printed
Reports of Opinions, page 76), and I am disposed
to adhere to it until the courts shall otherwise
%construe it.n

REUBEN FIELDS'S FACULTY.
Uncqualed in Computing Figures and Guess
ing the Time of Day.
Owingsville tKy.) Special.

Owingsville tKy.) Special.
About four miles east of this place there re-
sides a man VINO is, indeed, a prodigy. The
name of this wonderful man is Reuben Fields.
and he has but one developed faculty, this one
seeming to take entire possession Of him, driving
all other thoughts from his mind. In early in
fancy he was apparently much as other children,
but in extreme youth he developed a wonderful
precocity, or rather a supernatural endowment
for mathematics, even then solving difficult
problems with apparent ease and with but little
study. This became a mania with him, and
grew as he grew, to the exclusion of all other
branches of thought, until finally, without
knowing a single figure or letter of the alphabet,
he became the perfect master of the science
Of mathematics. He has been tested
by the most scientific men of this profession,
and the answers to the most difficult problems
that they have been able to PROFOUND are at his
fingers ends, the invariably correct solution being
given in an instant, quicker than thought.
AS an instance Of his remarkable powers, he
has been known to keep more than a dozen clerks
busy in taking invoice Of a stock of goods. In
deed, his knowledge and application of the sci
ence of mathematics far exceed anything that
the most scientific men are able to comprehend.
Another phenomenal characteristic of this man
is that he can tell the time to a second, either
day or night. Awakened from the soundest
sleep, he can tell you, without hesitation, pre-
cisely what time it is. What Blind Tom is to
music, Reub Fields is to mathematics; and,
like that illustrious idiot. this one branch absords
his entire mental capacity.
Another popularity of Fields is his utter fear
lessness of snakes. In his childhood he mani
tested a fondness for these reptiles and made
them his playthings, and, strange to say, he was
never bitten, though he handled with the great
est careIessness and freedom the most poisonous
species. He Is very superstitious, and believes
his extraordinary powers direct gifts from his
Creator, and says that were he to reveal the
secrets, or use them for the purpose of gaining
more than the necessities of life, he would ex-

has more than once refused offers of handsome
salaries. His parents died some years ago, since
which time Fields has been rowing around among
his kindred, staying with each a greater or less
length of time, according to the nearness of kin
ship.
He is very fond of playing checkers, and it is
said that he has never yet met his match at this
game. He is annoyed a great deal by people
who are curious to see his extraordinary powers
exhibited, and he says that this is his greatest
trouble, for, whether he will or not, when a
problem is presented the solution is bound to
fash through his mind.

Rorcotting an Old Friend.

A boycotting committee is going about among
business men, threatening those who take the
Indiana Tribune, a German paper of this city,
and more especially those who advertise
in it, with a withrawal of their own
patronage and that of the labor ~associa-
ton to which they belong. The reason
given for this action is that the Tribune like a
number of other daily papers of this city, uses
stereotyped matter. the use of which ~curtails
the expense Of the publisher. and enables him to
do without a type-setter or two. This action of
the boycotters occasions great surprise, as Mr..
Rappaport, the editor and publisher of the Trib-
une. is a pronounced Socialist and has long
been a strong champion of the rights of labor
and labor organizations as against capital.
