JOHN SHERMAN evidently still clings
to the memories of the time when he
sat in the chair of the President of
the Senate. In his workshop, his
private one, on the second floor of
of his house on K street, you can see an
ivory gavel, one that he welded for some
time while he was in that position. But
it is rather fancy article, not one of
the ordinary sort that is used day in
and day out to bang the marble slab
with-an extra one which was present
ed him by an admiring constituent, for
odd gavels of that sort do turn up now
and then. 1t was only the other day
that one of the local newspapers printed
semi-humorous yarn to the effect that
the Presidents gavel from much hard
usage was in very dilapidated condi-
ton. The following day, man from
South Carolina turned up, with very
fine affair of mosaic in wood and pre-
sented it to Senator Ingalls,.

CRITICISM OF CARLISLE.

New York World Dem.)
But perhaps the greatest error Of the
whole is to have entirely ignored on the
Committee the states of New York, Con-
necticut and New jersey. No state in
the Union is more deeply interested in
the tariff and taxation questions than the
state or even than the city of New Y ork
and it is remarkable policy which over
looks three such states as those we have
named, and selects tariff advisers from
Texas, Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky
and Arkansas.

A NEAT RETORT.

Detroit Free Press.
During. the summer of 1868, while the
hospitals at Canton, Miss, were crowded
with sick and wounded soldiers, ladies
visited them daily, carrying with them
delicacies of every kind and did all they
could to cheer and comfort the suffering.
On one occasion pretty miss Of sixteen
was distributing flowers and speaking
gentle words of encouragement to those
around her, when she overheard soldier
exclaim: "Oh, my LOrdr' Stepping to
his bedside to rebuke him for his pro-
family, she remarked: Didn't L hear you
call on the name of the Lord? l am one
of his daughters. Is there anything l

GETTING THE WORTH OF AHAAl

GETTING THE WORTH OF A HAM
Paterson CN. j. Press.
John, have your charged that ham?'
asked grocer of his clerk few morn
ings since.
"What ham?" was the question in an,
swer.
''The ham that was sold about ten min
utes ago."

sold. l did not sell any"
"Well, did; and I don't remember tc
whom l soldit. Doyou not remember
''This is the first l knew of any ham
being sold"
The grocer thought he had lost the
price of the ham. Not SO the clerk. He
looked over the list of orders, and tried
to remember the persons who had been
in the store that morning. Then he
charged the ham to every one of these
persons, seventeen in all.
sixteen of these will kick, remarked
the clerk, 'and the seventeenth is the
man who got the ham"
The proprietor raised the clerks wag,
es and took a drink.
Both anxiously watched the result
Of the seventeen persons to whom the
ham had been charged, just fOul
did the kicking act; the rest paid theil
bills without further inquiry, so the gro,

From The Albany Argus.
\ crusade against cigarette smoking
has been inaugurated along the Hudson

colt p" is the instrument used to bring
about the desired result. Physicians say
the number of cases of serious illness
traceable to the pernieious effects of ci-
garetet smoking is vary large, and that it
is high time to call halt Results of the
crusade can be seen in Kingston, Pough-
keepsie, Newburg, etc, where signs are
displayed:

On New Years day the prime movers
in the crusade began doubling their of-

TIE destruction of values by fire in
the United States is appalling. Last
year the losses reaching in round num-
bers $130,000,000, exceeded by $14,000,-
900 the losses of 1886. The annual fire
loss for the past five years aggregated
$685., 100000. A total of over half a
billion of dollars is almost incredible,
but the statistics have been carefully
gathered by insurance authorities. None
Will deny that this terrible drain upon
the nations resources should be greatly
reduced in 1888. 1t can only be done by
various forms of prevention and protec-
ton; by the careful and liberal equip
ment of fire departments, and by the
prompt ferreting out of incendiaries for
exemplary punishment, and by such To-
cal regulations for the restriction of
carelessness and crime as may appear
necessary.
