that the railroad people alone pay
taxes on over forty-seyen millions
of property, nearly as much as the
farmers on their lands, so how can
the farmers pay 'three-fourths of the
taxes As to the 10000 white vo-
ters who make q living at farming I
can't see where they come from. I
wish We had them, but We haven't.
There is scarcely one million Of men,
women and childen in the State, and
if you take the doctors, and preach
ers, and lawyers, and merchants, and
all the other people who cont make
q living at farming, and who live in
the cities and towns, and add to
them the negro vote, where will the
100000 white voters who make a
living at farming be? And all that
stuff about the the ring that domi-
mates our State and 'misrule' and
robbery is just as thin as the three
fourth Of the taxes business, and
the farmers won't bite, even if
"'they are such fools.''
So John lit his pipe and went
about his business, but I was not sat-
isfed in my own mind because I
can't believe. Mister Editor, that what
that piece says is meant for our own
home folks that we have elected to
hold Office. so thought would write
you this letter, and ask you if that
piece means our own home folks, for
I know that you know all about it,
and will let me know all about it
and set my poor heart at rest, and
by so doing you will do great fa-

How tho Speaker Makes his List.

Is il not wonder to any one who
thinks about it how the speaker is
able in II week or ten days to assign
335 men to fifty committees without
giving one man too much or emitting
to employ somebody. The work is
done Systematically, however, that it
is only by gross blunder that any
body is altogether omitted in the dis
trihution of places.
The speaker begins by setting up a
chart ruled one way for fifty places,
and at right angles to those lines are
1856 Others corresponding to the num-
Der of members and delegates. AS a
man is assigned a check is made in
the space over the name and a COM
mittee line inserted. AS the work
progresses the speaker can see at a
glance who has been chosen and who
is to be provided for. When change
is made, the checks are rubbed out
and the transfer made by more checks
in other places. While members are
not supposed to ask for places, they
do ii, and the expression of prefer
ence, though not quite Iroper, in a
strict sense. IL helpful to the speaker
in furnishing members with congo.
NAL occupation. A certain degree of
caution is observed in refusing to put
men on committees when they are
too seemingly concerned about pet
schemes to come before them Wash

The Monkey and the Boa.

An officer stationed ut Kalladgee,
in india. was once climbing a rocky
hill when he and native who accom-
panied him witnessed the following
episode: A poor monkey WAS being
slowly enWrapped, in the voluminOus
folds of an enormous boa. its bones
breaking like pipe stems by the pres
sure. Gradually the reptile unwound
itself, leaving a crushed, unrecogniZ-
able mass. The numerous monkeys
on the rock were in the greatest state
of excitement, running wildly about,
gesticulating, chattering, and moan
ing, though, of course, pOwerlesS TO
help their c0mrade. While the snake
was commencing its gorge, and be-
fore its body began to fill and swell,
the officer and native went in quest
of stout cudgel and a sharp knife,
expecting to make it an easy prey as
soon as it should be filled to repletion.
When they returned to the scene OF
strife the boa lay thoroughly g0rgPd,
beneath projecting mass of cliff,
looking more like log than any
thing more lively. On the submit
above a troop of monkeys were AS
serubled. and three or four of the
largest and strongest were occupied
in displacing massive fragment OF
rock, already Ioosened by the rains
from the main ledge. By enormous
exertion, made, toe, with silence
quite unusual to nIonkeyS-they at
length succeeded in pushing the rock
until it trembled just over the bOa s
head then, uttering a yell of tn
umph, they dropped it over the min
ia!ure precipice. 1t struck the boa
on the head, MASKING it to a Jelly.
AS its great tail dashed about ineffec.
tually in its last struggle. there was
a general chorus of exultation-a man
joining his near relative, if we believe
some of our instructOrs-over this
well accomplished act of vengeance.

Astronomy Among the Piutes.

lows: 1.-THE sun is the father and
ruler of the heavens. He is the big
chief. The moon is his wife, and the
stars are their children. The sun
eats his children whenever he can
catch them. They flee before him
and are all the time afraid when he is
passing through the heavens. When
he their father appears in the morn.

dren, fly out of sight-go away back
into the blue of the above-and they
do not wake to be seen again until
he, their father. is about going to his

passed over the world, looked down
on everything and finished his work,
he, the sun, goes into his hole, and he
crawls and creeps along it till he
comes TO his bed ia the middle part
of the earth. So then he, the sun,
sleeps there in his bed all night.
"This hole is so little, and he. the
sun, is so big, that he cannot turn
around in it, and so he must, when
he has had all his sleep. PASS on
through, and in the morning we see
him come out in the east. When he.
the sun, has so come out, he begins
TO hunt up through the sky to catch
and eat any that he can of the stars,
his children for if he does not so
catch and eat he cannot live. He, the
sun, is not all seen. The shape of him
is like snake or lizard. 1t is not

"The moon is the mother of the
heavens and is the wife of the sun.
She, the moon. goes into the same
hole as her husband to sleep her

fear of the sun. her husband, and
when he comes through the hole TO
the nobee (tent), deep in the ground
to sleep, she gets out and comes away
if he be cross.
"She, the moon, has great love for
her children, the stars, and is happy
to travel among them in the above,

sing and dance as she passes along.

Every month that father, The
sun, does swallow some of the stars,
his children, and then that mother,
the moon, feels sorrow. She must
mourn. So she put the black on her
face for to mourn the dead. You see
the Piute women put black on their
faces when child is dead. But the
dark will wear away from the face of
that mother-the m0On--a little and

her. But soon more of her children
are gone, and again she must put on

Great Mistakes of Life.

In reality there is no limit 10 the
mistakes of life; but here are four
teen which are more than ordinarily
prominent: ... q.
1t is great mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong and
judge people accordingly.
To measure the enjoyment ofothers
by our own. .
TO expect uniformity of opinion in
this world.
To look for experience and judg
ment in youth.
TO endeavor to mould all DISPOSE
tons alike.
Not to yield 10 ministerial trifles.
To look for perfection in our own
actions.
To worry ourselves and others with
what cannot he remedied.
Not to alleviate all that needs allie
Walton as far as lies in our power.
Not to make allowances for the in
firmities Of others.
To consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform.
To believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
To expect to be able to understand
everything.
The greatest of mistakes is to live
Only for time, when any moment
may launch US into eternity.
