NAturnI Gag.

A prominent Western manufacturer,
talking at Pittsburgh, said that all manu-
iacturers distant from that city must
either have natural gas or cheap artif-
cial substitute. Says he: Chemists all
over the world will now. go into the dues-
tion Of producing or manufacturing fuel
gas as cheaply as possible, and when you
start great number Of educated men on
the trail Of an idea, they are bound TO
make something drop. Manufacturer,
outside Of the Pittsburgh district, can well
afford to spend Thousands OF dollars in q
matter Of this kind. Why, they have got
to find something to compete with Pitts
burgh, or else move their plants here, and
that involves an immense outlay Of
money. This, OF course, depends on the
permanency Of the supply, but even II it
should give out, do not think our manu.

Of fuel. They have fonnd out too much

a Legal AbSurdity.

Said Major Gordon to a reporter yesterday:
"Our present law is such that when man dies
leaving an estate worth $4,000 his widow has a
right to onethird of it. This gives her So, 333 49,
If the estate is over $4,000 she gets but one
fourth. So that if the estate is worth $4,000
she receives but $3 250-less than if her husband
had died possessed of only $4,000. If the estate
is worth $40, 900 she would under the law get
one ffth-$4 000 If the estate should be worth
one cent less. $l9,99999, the widow would be
entitled to one-fourth-$4. 800. 99-nine hundred
and ninety-nine dollars and ninety-nine cents
more than when her husband dies with one cent
more This law is absurd on its face, and yet it
has been the law in this State for thirty-three
years. Here's chance for the Legislature to
right long continued wrong-one that has gone
on and on simply because no one has paid any
attention to If.

The Charges.Against Treasurer WATSON.
1t has been charged that Treasurer WATSON
has failed to give proper credit on his books for
taxes paid by checks on HaIrison's Bank, which
were not presented until after its failure but on
which receipts for the taxes were issued to the
payers A Journal reporter called on Captain
WATSON yesterday, to inquire about the state
ments. Mr.. WATSON said that the facts were
simply as follows: That j. c. S. Harrison
brought list of property of which he was
agent, and receipts were given him, he crediting
the amounts to Captain Wasson's official bank
account in Harrison Bank. AT that time the
bank was insolvent, and as he had never had
value received. the property was returned de-
lnquent Mr.. Charles w. Smith, attorney for
Captain WATSON, was also seen. and he stated
that the public knew the facts; that there had
never been an attempt at concealment, and that
there was also suit pending in the Circuit Court
to determine the question of law, as to who
should lose the amounts involved. All the
parties had been notified, and there had been
ample time to test the question, which. indeed,
would be determined in suits forthcoming.

And in one hour Of calm delight, III live again

When the bitterest grief was swept away in r
food Of transient tears.

By the gate.
Where the brightest CLEANS of sunset seemed

The gray barn in the distance, hespring-house

The crystal spring and the limpid stream with
rustic bridges Spanned
The orchard and the garden the fields OF way

The cattle IN the meadow, the pet lamb in the
lane;
And hear the reaper's voices, and the scythe-
blades ringing sweep
The whistle of the meadow-lark, the bleating
Of the sheep
The tuneless droning of the bees that rob tie
iassamine.
The buzzing of the snmmcr-ny, and all tie
farm-yard's din:
Dscordant sounds TO other ears, but now they

More welcome than the dulcet notes of sweet
