Senator Sherman's tariff views have un-
dergone sort of indurating process during
the past twenty years. AS he has grown
richer-and he has grown very rich since
he has been in public life-his ideas have
narrowed and contracted until even his own
original conceptions of the subject look
strange and distorted to him. For instance,
twenty years agohe said: "The wit ofman
could not possibly form tariff that would
produce $40, 100000 in gold without ample
protection to American industry"
This is just as true statement now as
it was then, but Mr.. Sherman by his actions
utterly repudiates it. The average sum
collected from customs during the past five
years has been about S217, 000,000 in
gold, and the estimated receipts for the curl
rent fiscal year is $22S, 900, yet Mr..
Sherman, instead of living up to his con-
victions, is sitting in the Senate to oppose a
iudicious reduction of tariff duties although
the Treasury is overlooking with the pro-
ceeds of surplus taxation. But, as was il

he pronounees the material, and the showing
made by it in manufactured product the very
best, and especially for Terra Gotta work, the
finest he ever saw.
The estimate for plant which would turn
out a good quantity of product per day is
S5.50O. The expense for mining 1t would be for
1000 fire bricks S565, 1000 feet inch drain pipe
S.65. and for 1000 feet inch sewer pipe Sf63.
Referring to the standard sc hedules of whole
sale prices at factories it is found that the 81
Inch pipe is quoted at Is cents per foot which,
1t would seem, gives a handsome profit to the
man ufacturers.
The resources for an establishment for max
ing nre-brick and Terra Gotta products exist
right here In the suburbs OF Staunton. and
deserve further investigation. 1t would seem
that there is germ for valuable and profit

DEATH OF AN AGED CoLoRED MAN.

to the White Sulphur with Mr.. James
Frazer when that whole boundary was in
woods. All who ever stopped at the Frazer
Hotel in Lewisburg in ante bellum days
carried away with them pleasant remem-
brances Of "Uncla" Willis. By ths will Of
Mr. Frazer freedom was granted to ''Uncle"
Willis, and in accordance with the law as
it then stood, that all manumitted slaves
were to leave this and settle in one of the
free States, he went to Ohio. Bat it wasn't
long before he came sauntering back and
said he "would good deal rather live as a
slave in Virginia than as a free man in
Ohio. You know, master, l have always
been treated like gentleman among our
folks here, and couldn't stand it to stay
in Ohio" He was then put up and sold
for small sum to Col. Samuel S. Thomp-
son. He will be buried to morrow

Ed Syau7lto1 Spectotor:-I observe in your
paper fthe l4th inst, an item in regard to my
arrest and examination before U. s. Commits
sioner Thos. A. Gordon, which does not state
the facts at all. You say that Government In
spsetor, G. w. Wilde, on the 18th day of No.
vember last detected me purloining the sum
of rs cents, and that this appeared from the
warrant. The truth is, Mr. Wilde does not
know and does not claim to know anything
about the matter except which was reported
to him nor does the warrant show that he
knows anything about 1t. further than was re-
ported to him. He only acted in the capacity
of an official. and reported what was told him,
and was never at the Warm Springs until
about four weeks ago. Your article does me
great injustice and hope you will correct it
at once. f. A. HYDE.

Novel Performance at opera House
Thursday, Friday, and Saturday
Nights.

Prot. D. Al. Bristol will give exhibitions Of
his trained horses. mules, and ponies in the
Opera-H House next Thursday, Friday, and Sat
urday nights, and matinee on Saturday
afternoon.
From notice!of the Charleston Is. c. Neacs
and Courier, we making the following ex-
tract
1.-The performance was made up of three acts
in the first of which the horses and ponies
were shown at school, and were put through
the various feats and antics in which most
pupils delight. Exhibitions ofswinging reck-
ing. jumping, secsawing and balancing were
the third act by q military drill, in which the
horses Gepofted themselves as model soldiers
marching, countermarchlng, wheeling and
falling into line with precision indicative OF
wonderful sagacity and training"
In speaking of the matinee there, the same
paper says
There have been matinees and matiness in
Charleston, but rarely such one as yester.
days matinee. By actual count of the tickets
there were over ], 200 people in the house, moi
counting children in arms, the receipts being
about $780,"
In speaking of the Band, the same journal
says
There are few bands that have visited
Charleston superior to the Bristol Band, some
times called the Behr Brothers Band, accom-
panying the Equescurriculum. Those who
were near the Academy of Music last nigh
heard one of the most exquisite of open all
