ROYALTY ON fhe Fourth Floor.

The ex.King and Queen of Naples prefer
to be known as Duke and Duchess de Cas-.
tro, and they have rooms in the fourth story
of the Hotel Vonillemont, Rue Boissy DAN
plss. Paris. They visit no one and receive
only members of their family. The royal
couple seem to have no tastes in common
Queen Sophia, or Sophie Marie, as she is
often called never goes to the theatre the
ex.King is happiest when he can conceal
himself in dark corner of box at the
Opera and quietly listen to the music. Fran
cesco di Borbone seldom drives. Every al
ternoon, when the Avenue des Champs
Elysees is filled with brilliant equipages, the
great pedestrian. strolipg up and down,
would never be taken for descendant of
Lonis XIV. The Queen, on the contrary, is
as fond of horses as her sister, the Empress
of Austria, and only second to riding is her
taste for fencing. Her favorite race horse,
La Malmaisop, had several successes on
the turf. It ia said that when the e1'
Queen lived in Rome she was con-
etantly seen Oh horseback, and that
her sympathy for Mics Hosmer, the Ameri-
sculptoress, wss not so much because OF art
as because of horses When the Queen Vls'
tied the artist their time was spent, not IN
the studio, but in the stables. Altnougn

Nor lily blossom e'er shall blight,
But all shall CLEAN more pure and white

Sigh not when daylight DINNER grows
And life turbid river flows,
For all is sweetness-all is light
Beyond the night.
Oh, haste, sweet hour that no man knows;
Uplift as from our cumbring woes,
While joy and peace shall crown the night
And persisted hopes shall blossom bright
To aching hearts bring sweet repose,

A BONUS.

John Sherman's plan to reduce the
treasury surplus is to remove the duty
from sugar putting that article entirely on
the free list,and then give bounty to the
sugar producers of the country. That Is
he would have Congress pass a law by
which every sugar producer in the country
should receive so many dollars or cents sn
every barrel of sugar produced. This
money is to be paid out of the treasury as
gift or bonus to the producers of sugar.
Farmers, laborers, mechanics and other
non-Protected classes are to be taxed to give
few sugar producers in Louisiana a
bonus upon the sugar which they make.
He says this is to protect our producers
and manufacturers against the cheap labor
of Europe. Sherman still relies or the
ability of ofrepublican leaders to deceive and
befool the farmers. Why does not John
Sherman propose to pay the farmer a
bonus on the wheat he raises Does not
the Oregon farmer come in direct, imme-
diate competition with the pauper labor
SnSdScu IN raising WnedL ia oohthGfh
Asia The farmer pays freight on his
wheat to Liverpool, and then is compelled
TO sell it in competition with wheat ship
ped from the East Indies where laborers
are paid from IS to IS cents per day. We
repeat here what we said in these columns
more than year ago: 1t is just as rea-
senable, just as fair and honest to pay the
farmer bonus on his wheat, as it is to
compel the farmer to pay a tax in the shape
of tariff duty, which is nothing more nor
less than bonus to the manufacturer.
But under our present protective tariff
laws, the farmer Is compelled to pay this
bonus tax every time he buys any one of
the 1000 articles now subjectto tariff duty.
But all over the country farmers are wax
ing up to the gross injustice to which they
are subjected, and many of them who have
heretofore adhered to the republican par
ty declare their purpose no longer to sup
port the advocates of robber tariff.
