1t is charged by the Young Mems Democrat
lc hub OF Nicksburg that Groome, the newly
appointed Postmaster of that city, ought to be
removed for the same reasons that Meade was
removed from 1lazclhurst. Groome is charged
with advocating in his paper the killing of
white Republican leaders,
The Prog Age will now be able to commend
the appointment of Groome, as it did that of
Meade. In the case of the latter, however, the
Communications of the Age appeared about the
time the Administration cancelled the appoint
ment.

Taxesi Taxes y

To TIE EDITOR OF THE JOURNALS: How
much longer are the people of this city to be
afflicted by the inccssant and ever present dis
cussion Of taxes: If you 90 away from home
you are reminded even then, by the questions
and statements OF those you meet, of the griev-
ou> tax burdens Of Belfast, and at home you
can't listen to any talk anywhere that does not
in some way before it ceases make some refer
ence to our taxes. If anyone advocates water
works. or a steam fire engine, or any improve
mentS anywhere he is met by the ever ready
answer that we must wait until our taxes are
lighter before We create any more.
Now this talk has been particularly lively for
the past four wears. 1t is more than four years
since movement was started, which, accord
inc to the promises of those who originated it
was to bring about an immediate reduction of
our taxes. But no reduction. as promised has
taken place. And now the talk of those same
men is that We can surely have reduction if
only we wait patiently five Years longer. On
the other hand the talk is that we have borne
these burdens as long "a we can stand it and
must have relief sooner than five years. We
are told that the railroad money. if divided this
year, will give dividends amounting to S37 900
to the city, and that as the cash tax for the past
year was about $4,000, this railroad money
over one ialf from last year.
Well. HIGH taxes are bad enough. but this
continual talk about them is worse still Small
poN or cholera, if either cot fastened upon US
might be Il more depressing topic for endless
discussion, but some persons might even wei
come that change. But must we endure
for five years longer these complaints and
grow~, and try to console ourselves during all
that time with the thought that those who sur

"He Called Nc Whitaker"

Iero-worshippers have a better time of
it than the heroes who have to submit to
their worship. The latter Gncluding all
distinguished mem are largely at the
mercy of class of admirers who are too
obtusc to see any violation of good man
ners or taste in their pursuit of interviews
and autographs.
William Warren tells delicious story
about St. Louis man who went East
last summer, and hunted up the poet
Whittier He found the quiet old QUA
kcr poet trying to hide from civilization
in a farmhouse near Nahant. He had
gone there to escape just such bores as
the St. Louis man was.
At first he declined to see the visitor,
saying that he was not feeling strong, but
the Missouri man was so persistent that
at last Whittier yielded, and he was ad-
mittcd. He pounccd upon the poet, and
nearly shook his arm from the socket.
lie declared that he adored the poets
works-in fact, he read nothing else.
He asked Whittier to write his name a
few hundred times on sheet of note pa
per, that he might distribute the auto
graphs among his friends, and it was all
the poet could do to keep the impctuous
visitor from cutting the buttons from his
coat to carry away as mcmcntos.

PRICE THREE CENTS.
The Arabian Horse.

Arabian horses are being imported INTO
America to slight extent of recent years.
Messenger, the famous old stallion from
whom our American trotting stock is all
descended, had large strain of Arabian
blood in him.
Arabian stations have been brought to
this country from time to time as pres
ents to public men and Others. But it is
doubtful il a full-blooded Arabian mare
was ever in the United States, They
are valued more highly than the stations,
and not allowed to leave the country.
There arc six distinct families of horses
in Arabia, and the pedigree of some of
them runs back Enthusiastically for five
hundred years. They como of old families.
These are the horses for swiftness and
endurance. They are not draught horses,
but in the two qualities named they excel
all other breeds in the world. They
have delicate necks and fine, small,
straight limbs, flashing eyes and strong,
flowing name and tail. They are not
large, fifteen and half hands being an
unusual height. The back is not archel
much, the tail is high set, and the hoofs
are always small, black and very tough.
Centuries of pounding over the sands Of
the desert have made them so. They
have small ears and powerful chest, from
which they get their great endurance.
They are distinguished for soundness of
wind and limb, though their hbred,
far-oif cousin, the Kentucky horse, of
late years seems to be developing lack
of hardness.
The Arabian horse is noted, too, for its
gentle temper and intelligence. Its mas
tex the Arab, says the horse is Allah's
best gift to man.

yitaliziug Influence of Sunlight.

l have often been asked, says Dr.
Felix L. Oswald, at what age infants can
first be safely exposed to the influence of
the open air. My answer is, on the first
warm, dry day. There is no reason why
a newborn child should not sleep as
soundly under the canopy of garlcn
tree on pillow of un-warmcd hay, as in
the atmosphere of an ill-ventilated nur-
sery. Thousands of sickly nurslings,
pining away in the slums of our manu-
featuring towns, might be saved by an
occasional suubath.
Aside from its warmth and chemical
influence on vegetable oxygen, sunlight
exercises upon certain organisms vital
izing influence which science has not yet
quite explained, but whose effect is illus
tratcd by contrast between the weeds of
a shady grove and those of the sun-lit
fields, between the rank grass of deep
valley and the aromatic heritage of a
mountain meadow, as well as by the pc
culiar wholesome appearance of ''sun-
burned persons and sun-ripened fruit.
Sunlight is too cheap to become fash
ionable remedy, but its hygienic infu-
ence can hardly lie oyerrated.

They were sitting as close together as the

tremor in her voice, "didn't you tell me
once you would be willing to do any
great act of heroism for my sake?"

fit,ent tones "No noble Roman of old

The Warllke Apache.

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter.
Ocoan says: The Apache is not only the
most warlikc of American Indians and
do not except the Ute Indians, the
Sioux, nor the Comanchcs-but he is also
the most skilled in war. Trained to an
endurance which would be unattainabe
in more cndurablc country; with tie
eve of hawk, the stealth of coyote,
the courage of tiger, and its mcrcilcss-
ness, he is the Bcdouin of the new world.
lie has horses that will exist on a blade
of grass to an acre, and will travel 10
miles in twenty-four hours thereby with
out falling dead on the homcstretch. lie
knows every foot of his savage country
better than you know the interior of
your parlor. He finds water and food
where the best of us would starvc to
death for the want of both. More than
100 different plants yield him intestinal
revenue. lie has fastncsscs from which
no force can dislodge him; and when
you lay siege he quietly slips out by
some back door canon, and is off like
thistle down on the wind
The dangcrousncss of an Indian is in
inverse ratio to his food supply. The
Apache, born to starvation, his whole
life constant fight to wrest living from
vixenish nature, as well as to wrcst life
from his neighbor, is whettcd down to a
ferocity of edge never reached by the Ia
dian of section where wood and water
and facile game abound.

Wanted Ono OF Ills Own.

Once upon time, many, many yeart
ago, there were two little Toys who
lived in Weste Massachusetts, away up
among the Berkshire Hills. One morn
ing one of these little boys came to the
house of the other with fine gamecock
und his arm. and he said: "Bill | want
to swap this rooster for yours Bill
asked: is he a good rooster, Cyrus.r
And Cyrus replied that he was the best
fighting cock in the country. Then Bill
asked: IF he is the best rooster in the
country why do you want to swap him
for mine?" And Cyrus made answer;
''Oh, this rooster 10 fathers and / want
to sNap him so that can have one d

1reland's National Emblem.

The shamrock, which is the emblem Of
Ireland, is not known by its flower, but
by its leaves; it is little trefeil az is
clover, but is very rare in England and
not common in Ireland. Bentham,
in his British Flora" says that
Oxahs acetocella, or wood sorrel, is
the ORIGINAL shamrock; it has pale pink,
almost white, flower, which is said to be
very plentiful in woods in April. He
also states that purple Dutch clover
Grifoleum repens), which we all know
so well, is now accepted as the sham
rock. The tradition runs that st.
Patrick, when preaching in Erin, gath
cred a shamrock and used it to illustrate
the doctrine Of the Holy Trinity. From
this circumstance the trefoil has become
accepted as the national emblem of the
Emeral isle. Exchange.
