THE CASHIER AND THE CAPTTALIsT.--A
financial man tells some interesting stories
of venerable Boston capitalist. He used
to drive his own carriage, two-horse top
buggy. One day, just before Christmas, he
drove to Faneuil Hall market to bargain
for and get his own turkey for the frugal but
traditional feast at his house. AS he drove
up boy started out as ii to offer to hold his
team. AT the same moment he saw his
cashier arriving on foot.
"Well, Smith," said the capitalist to the
cashier, "where are you going?"
"Going to the market to get turkey for
Thanksgiving" said the cashier.
"YesP Well, I'll tell you what we'll do. 1
know 'em in here, and if you'll hold my
horses think can go In and buy two tur-
eys 80 that they'll come cheaper than If we
bought separately"
"All right" said the cashier. He took up
his station at the horses heads while the old
man went into the market. AS he stood
there kicking MS feet against the curbstone
to keep them warm. horrible suspicion
came over him that his employer had no
idea ofbuying two turkeys, but had simply
adopted this plan as ruse to get him to
hold the horses and save the cents that
would be expected by small boy as the
minimum compensation for holding the
horses. The old man was gone long time,
looking for a bargain, no doubt. After
awhile he hove in sight through the door,
and with but single turkey, done up in
brown paper under his arm.
"No use, Smith," said he, Il couldn't
make it 90. We can do just as we'll to buy on
our own account. Seeing that that was the
case, I thought probably you'd want to buy
our OWE turkey yourself. Minneapolis

THE WOOL growers and the glass manu-
facturers have been protected for the last
twenty years, but for all that the price OF
the product of the former and the wages OF
the hands of the latter are lower now than
ever. Still The protectioniss soy high tar
iff protects both the American producer and
the labor he employs. But that what they
saw is not so, is too plain to require further
demonstration than it daily receives.

A BILL is now before Congress to pay the
surviving officers and crew of the U. s. ship
Cumberland, and their legal heirs, the value
of the Confederate ram Metrimac. The
beauty of this bill lies in the fact that the
Mer,imac sunk the cumberland and was sub.
sequently run ashore and blown up by her
own officers. But there is no limit to the
absurdity of some of the bills that are intro.
duced in Congress.
