Referring to Senator Browns speech
m internal taxation Congressman
"urnes said TO day: From what
understand about 1t. 1 am not
urprised. Moreover Stree the ac-
ion of the Woman's Christian Tenn
oerance union, demanding the re-
peal of the international taxes, there
has been a decided change of atti-
ude in this subject among congress-
nen. Every member and senator
las had sent to him petition Of
he Women's Christian Temperance
union asking that they vote for the
'epeal of the system. Many men,
hers who secretly desired the abol-
ishment of the internal revenue law,
hut were afraid to advocate such a
proposition for fear of the temper
snce vote, feel easier now, and you
nay look for many more similar
speeches in the house and senate"

Mark Twain and Darwin.

Mark Twain enjoys a good story
SO much, that he doesn't mind telling
one even at his own expense l
heard him tell capital one the other
day, which hope he won't mind my
relating. "R2v. DR.. Parker" said
Mr.. Clemens, 'pold me that he once
visited Darwin. The great naturalist
took him through his work-room, and
showed him whatever there was of
interest Pointing 10 n table with q
reading-lamp and three books ON it,
no said: 1 don't want any one to
disturb that table, for those are Mark
Twain's books, and they are the only
books read; l read myself 10 sleep
with them at night, and / read my
self awake with them in the morn
ing" Mr.. Clemens said he felt very
much flattercd by this; but then there
was good deal in common between
Darwin and himself; they had both
done much to disillusion people. When
Darwin's life was published, he got O
copy of the book and turned its pages
with some eagerness TO see what wa:
said about Mark Twain. Hc looked
carefully but he didn't find his name
mentioned. He found n statement,
however, which quite reconciled him
to the omission. "This statement
was" said Mr. Clemens, "that Oar
win had suffered from atrophy of the
brain for long time, and hadn' t beer
able to read any decent literature. y
