OBJECrING TO WOMEN.
How and why a Jack Tar Man@uVred
to Get Out of "a Bark.
from the Baltimore Sun

from the odtttHtofe ouits
Among the old school sailors their ira
dltions were rife with superstition, and
there are on record many of their anus
ing pleas to get out of ships or to have re-
spect paid to certain peculiar ideas. In
these days of progress it is seldom that
sailors are heard of as Directing
to sailing on Friday or to
the presence of women on shipboard.
Yet superstitions on these matters occa-
sionally crop out. Capt. North, of the
bark Julia Rollins, who arrived on We'd
nesday from Rio Janeiro, had an expert
ence with seaman named Appleby who
had not forgotten the tradition of his
fathers, and showed his belief in bad luck
coming to a vessel with women on board.
Capt. North took with him Mrs. North
and niece on his last voyage. When the
vessel reached Rio Appleby tried to de-
sert, but was caught; then he feigned
sickness, for which, Capt. North said, ~
gave him jalap, but this even did not al
lay his desire to leave the vessel" Capt.
North then asked the man to explain his
desire to be discharged. All along APP
pleby had said there were good reasons
why he could not stay. At last he told
Capt North that he could not stay ON a
vessel where women were, that good luck
could not come from their presence, and
cited the loss overheard of sailor named
VIM. Collier on the passage out. He de-
manded to see the Consul. Capt. North
gratitied him, but his excuse had no eff
feet with the official, who sent Appleby on
board in charge of Brazilian soldier.
He still persisted in his determination to
leave, and upon advice of the Consul Capt.
North put Appleby in close confinement
BY dieting him on bread and water the
Captain tried to reform his superstitious
tendencies. Twice a day he was asked to
''turn-to," and as many times he stub
bOrnly refused to comply. When the Julia
Rollins was bound out Capt. North asked
Appleby If he would 90 to work If re-
leased, adding that if not he would be
placed on sea-ratiOns, which in his judg-
ment should comprise half a pint of water
and half a biscuit. Appleby turned to,
came home safely, but he will in the flu
ture know if women are on board a ship
before he signs articles.

THE TARIFF DENOUNCED.
Prof. Summer to the University
students ON the Evils of Protection.
F,.o,, tbA pbi1g6eggTtn Times.

Prof. Sumner to the University
students on the Evils of Protection.
From, the PAHadelphia Times.
Prof. Sumner, Of Yale College, at
the invitation of the students delivered a
lecture on "Frec Trade" at the University
Of Pennsylvania last evening. The lee
turer, who was introduced by Prof.
Edmund James, said:
"Protection is in opposition to the
doctrine of conservation of energy. Every
tax is a quantity affected by minus
sign. The prOtectiOnists say that the
wealth and prosperity Ofthe United States
are due to their system. Nothing of the
kind: it is due to the climate and soil
which God and nature have given to US
after the tax-gathereT has succeeded in
diminishing il. When government raises
a tax on an article it advances 1t price to
the people. G0gerlmept thus lays a
barrier around the nation so that the
producer inside the barrier can do as he
pleases with the consumer. The free
trader does not say that If we have free
trade there will be no more commercial
crises. The protectionist, however, takes
a new responsibility upon himself.
1--WE have had protection for the past
2J wears and hard times Tor the last II
years. Protection has not brought about
the promised result. We have had
sOcialistic devices which promised TO
bring us equality, but they have brought
us inequality. Two years ago Congress
appointed u tariff commission, when
recommended reduction Of tariff OF %
per cent. Congress, however, took no
notice Of this, but bundled the mass of
accumulated evidence into the hands Of a
tariff conference, and these, around a
table, liked the taxation Tor the people Of
the United States. II is an everlasting
effort 20 get a tariff 10 ~ US, but we never
can succeed. We are living to-day under
a system Of taxation fitted 10 us 20 years
ago. We have secured TO ourselves the
home market, having shut others out, and
now IL is a matter Of life and death to get
out ourselves.
"Tarifi is a dead weight. We are trying
10 scalp each other. Tariff reduces the
average amount Of comfort that the pe0-
ple OF the United States can obtain. Every
Invention introduced into our Industries
lowers the wages. For 20 years we have
been saying to the people on the other
side OF the water, Keep away those good
things; we won't have Them II, by
taxation, wages are 20 be high it Is not
the goods which must be taxed, but the
man. Tariff has never done aOything but
lower wages. IL reduces all the time the
dosirabilily OF the land and the profit TO be
got out OF IT,"

mrs. TILTdN AT HOME.
Surrounded by Luxury and Refinement
-Unvisited by Her Husband or MIR.


Nep York Letter IN NdShciUe Union.
Once in awhile the question is heard,
"what has become of Mrs. Tilton?" The
little woman, who was few years ago
the most widely known American woman
in the world, lives with her aged mother,
Mrs. Morse, on Pacific street, in Brook
Ign, in comfort and quiet. Even since the
remarkable scandal trial she has lived in
the same way. At no time has she in
habited garnet, taken in sewing for a
living, or lived in any of the poor ways
rumur frequently declared she did. Mrs.
Morse, her mother, is the wife of the vet
eran Judge Mo. Sc, one of the first presi-
dents of the Union ferry company, and now
a retired hOnOred member of the sam
wealthy corporation.
The home of Mrs. TiltOn with her mother
is one of taste, refinement and elegance,
Many of the pictures that were name
famous by the oftre-peated yarns in the
court room of how Theodore, in his night
shirt, used to go around the house rehang-
ing them at all hours OF the night, are to
be seen on the walls of her present brown
stone home. In the bows bedroom is a
life-sized photograph of their father, taken
when a very young man, with his arms
folded, his head dropped upon his breast,
his ewes closed and his pOetical locks
curling on his neck The attitude and the
facial expression say: look at me and
do aught but admire me If you cam"
Rare books and various art works embel-
Iish-and beautify the home. Mrs. TiltOn
is still the same quiet, piOus little woman
that she always was, only shade or two
sadder and much older. She has rare
faculty of trying to be always cheerful
and believes fully in the efficacy of prayer
and that what 'God wills He WILL" and
his creatures must follow His law to be
saved hereafter. Her hair is snow
white, her figure little more robust and
rounded, although still childish in stature
and form.
Mr.. Tilton has never stepped across that
threshold since the trial. Certainly
not Mr.. Beecher. 1t would not be well for
either one to make the attempt. The two
sons, Carroll and Ralph, are young men
now. both occupying good clerkships, and
live with their mother. Carroll, the elder,
is a TiltOR in look and nature. Ralph is a
mothers boy. fine, promising young
character. The two daughters are both
married and both mothers. Alice, the
yOun ger, lives in Chicago and Mrs. Tilton
visited her not long since. That Mrs.
TiltOn was ''forsaken by her friends" as
the newspapers would have it, and 3
years ago, is not true either. The fact
is, there is more intellectual company
entertained in Mrs. TiltOn's home in the
course of a year than that of a dozen
tamilies-''best families'-all told. Moth
ing would by plessanter TO Mrs. Tilton
that to know that the outside world
had forgotten her. To II certain extent
it has, but still she has a large circle of
friends.

THE ARABIAN NIGHTS.
How the Tales We're Gathered and How
They Were Brought to Europe.


From london Society.
In letter written by the Rev. Robert
Hall to Sir J. Macintosh, in the third
year of the present century, we read of a
gentleman who, before the age of IT, had
made himself master of Hebrew, Chaldee,
Persian, Arabic and Turkish, besides
Latin and Greek and French and Italian,
and many other modern languages. This
gentleman, who began Arabic at and
Chinese at IA; who was devoted to the
study of music; who was well skilled in
horsemanship and in the management of
the sclmitar and lance; who had the eye
and pencil of an artist, and a deep-roOted
sense of religion in addition to other
physical and moral excellencies, was
Claudius James Rich. 1t was he who
gathered together, while Consul at
Bagdad. that fine collection Of Oriental
manuscripts in over 800 volumes, which,
having been purchased by Parliament for
the British Museum. now forms portion
of what is termed the manuscript depart
ment of our national library. OF this
large collection. Nos. 7,404, 7,40j and Z, 406
are the three cOdices, composed of Orien-
tai paper, the first small quartO and the
other two 12mO., containing all together
some 600 foios of 'FThe Arabian Nights"
written in the Naskhi character or that
of modern Arabic by various penmen,
who are net on all occasions to be con-
graduated on the care bestowed on
their writing or the peTspicmty of their
meaning.
"The Arabian Nights" is not a story
emanating from one person. 1t is a
vehicle for many tales told by various
story-tellers with very different degrees
of ability. Many of the stories in the
Rich MSS. present remarkable similarity
to Western anecdotes. Nor will any
reader be surprised at this who remem-
bers how closely connected is the old his
tory, first told by Galland in a Western
tongue, of Schahriar and Schahzensn with
that of AstolfO and GiOcOndo in the 2Sth
CantO of AriOsto's "OrlandO," or the
Genie imprisoned, in the brazen vessel in
the story of the Fisherman, with the
"Diablo Conjuelo," in a phial of Luis de
Guevara, or the ''Sleeper Awakened"
with the induction to ''The Tanning OF the
Shrew; or, the Enchanted Horse with
Chaucer's Steed of Brass" on which
Pierre carried off the fair Maguelone,
afterwards initiated by Cervantes in his
"ClaVlenO."

A CITY Built on Gold.

Had not this particular part of the
county been seized upon as the site for
Nevada City, the whole section would
have been turned upside down before
now by the hardy miners IN their hunt
for gold. Undertaking 8 INC of our
largest business houses and finest resi-
dences are big and rich deposits of
aurifcrous gravel and quartz. The

instance, which has been prOtitably
worked for some time under the Ma

morning u hole was being dug in tho
ground on Broad street, nearly oppo-
site the Methodist Church, to tap the
main water pipe, when fine looking
stringer of quartz was encountered
about foot from the surface. 1t had
the appearance of leading to valua-
BILE deposit, but it will probably not
be followed up, because no one wants
to disfigure the heart of the city, even
for tie sake of finding gold
mine. 1t has been remarked that
Nevada City should have been
planted on some ground that had
no gold in it, but the fact is that nc
such place can be found within many
miles Of here.-Nevada City 1ran-
