SECRETARY LAMAR DIsARhs
THE LADIES.-M bile we were con-
versiug Secretary Lamar came out
bowing bis adieus to party OF la
dies. One of the attaches of tie
department, who knows his inner
life we'll, said to me 'sSee tue Sec
retary; no doubt he is going
through the programme for those
ladies'
"What programmep l asked.
"Whenever ladies apply to the
Secretary tor a position, as they do
every day, Lamgr, who is a widow
er, places his hand on bis heart
aud saws "Ah ladies', / cannot
pronaisr; for there is but one va
cancy that any lady can fill, and
that is here-and hard TO Gill;"
That disarms the ladies and saves
him from much future pestering.--

Nothing New Under the Sun.'
TSunny South.1

People stand aghast at the i'm mense wealth of such men of our own times as the Vanderbilts. Jay Gould, Mackey and other na- bobs, worth from ten to one hundred million of dollars. Why, they are beggers compared to some of the old Roman Emperors and soldiers. Let us see; and Pliny, the histori. an of the times, is our authority:
 Under Romulus, two acres of land constituted d rich man. and a Roman Senate gave two huhdre pounds as dowry of the daughter of the great Scipio; but Il little further on, Horace says one Tige. lius squandered in one day five thousand pounds-S25, ,000 in En- glish money. Caliguva lavish ed away one hundred and siXty-tive millions of dollars in less than a year. Roman ladies of high birth wore ornaments and Jeweiry and precious stones valued at 2OO,- 900 pounds. A pair of Cleopatra's pearls were valued at J0,O00 pounds. The Roman Senator. Nonius, wore a ring worth d hun dred thousand pounds. Shoe strings were made of gold and en- riched with precious stones, so fathers Jerome and Tertulan tell us. Tigelius sometimes had twen- ty thousand slaves in his train. Carthage, the rival of Rome for the sovereignty of the world. did not possess at the time of the victo- ries of Scipio Afrlcanus, as much as Rome contained merely in table utensils! CandIesticks, and tables, and bedsteads, and benches. and lounges were of gold in Nero's time. Chariots were made of gold, and Nero had a thousand in his train when he travelled. The barn ess of the mules were covered with ornaments of gold; his mules were shod with silver, and those of his wife, Poppoea, with gold. Nero's funeral cost million and half sterling.
 Fish was great delicacy with these Epicurean Romans. Julius Caesar had 6,000 lampreys served at his triumphal dinner, and Hir- rius spent 6O,O0O pounds year on his fish ponds. At the funeral of his wife, Pepper, Nero consumed more cinnamon and cassia than all Arabia could af- ford in year. How lillipu. tian our modern millionaires look compared with these old Roman nabobs! l. H. N.

How the Farmer is Fooled.

1t Is often said by the protec. tionist, that, however hardly pro hihitory tariffs may affect other people, they are certainly of bene. fit to the farmer; that maniac. lures which would not naturally
 exist in his neighborhood are ar titicially enabled to come there; and that there is an immediate con :. sequeut increase in the price of his products which is wholly to his advantage. This is plausible, but f,llarIous. If that were the whole story there would be nothing to reply, The answer is that it is not

She Wanted Pork and Beans.

At Meadville the other day au inquisitive old lady who had never travelled very much boarded q train and at once commenced ask ing questions of the passengers. Among other things shc asked some drummers who occupied a seat in front of her what the rope was for which extended through from one end of the car 70 the other.
 "That, " replied one of them, "is tho call bell. Should you want anything to eat all you ha 6 to do IS to ring the bell for the servant, who will immediately come and wait on you"
 Half an hour later. when the drumners had forgotten all about the matter, the old woman jumped up, grabbed the rope and gave 1t il vigorous phil. The conductor, who had witnessed the perform ance from the platform of the car, hurried in and asked the old lady what she meant by pulling the bell cord.
 Il mean,' said she, emphatieal- ly, "that l want something to eat and l want you to bring me some pork and beans, quick time "-Oil City Blizzard.

MATRIMONIAL ITEM. .-"l am very sorry did not get acquaint' ed with you until l had become d widower,' said Col. Percy ierger to his second wife, with whom he does not live very happily.
 What do you mean by that" asked the partner of his joys.
 Nothing, except that l would much rather that you had been my first wife" replied the fond hus, band, carelessly.
 "Why do you wish that l had been your first wifeg"

he whole story by any manner of

the whole story by any manner ol means.
 Suppose that the particular man. ufacture which is artlticially brought to the farmers neighbor- hood is hardware, and that the pro- tective tariff which brings it there is 30 per cent. Then, for all the tools and implements which the far mer could buy in free market for SlOO he must now pay Sl3O. X cot ton and a woolen factory are next added, with a similar protection, and the farmer must pay s13O for clothing and house furnishing which he could have in free mark ct for a1OO. -ln short, sys- tenn of protective tariffs averaging, al our does. not 50 but 47 per cent, has .s,this simple effect that it in. creases the cost of farming and living by very nearly one-half. It is true that the farmer can sell his garden sass" little dearer than he could before; but it is not by the sale of "garden sass' that most farmers make their living.
 The articles by the sale of which our farmers make their living are the great staples of commerce, such as wheat and other grains, cstton and tobacco, for which there is d demand in the markets of the world, that is to say in foreign markets; and the price of such commodities is not the least de. termined by any local circumstan- ces. Take wheat for an example. Within a few years India has be- come formidable competitor with us in the wheat market. Ten years ago India exported only an incon. siderable amount of wheat, and now she is sending to Europe two- thirds of the whole amount which England requires for her home SUD- ply. The output of the Indian market is watched not only in India and I ouHnn huf n lsO in NpW \ orl Chicago and St. Louis, be- cause the price of the wheat which our farmers raise, depends, not up on the numbers of factories they may have in their neighborhoOd, but on the amount of wheat ship ped from India to Europe. Thus it comes to pass that, while the farmer can get no more for his products than the price which the market of the world fixes, the pro- tective tariff makes him pay 47 cents of taxation on every dollars worth of manufactured supplies which he consumes. Whether the local trade in garden sass is large enough to compensate him for this monstrous imposition, the Ameri- can farmer must be left tojudge for himself.-St. Louis Republican.
