In connection with the Portland we'd
ding presents, a not unamusing story was
current in London. A well known and
popular gentleman, on arriving at his
club from the theatre, discovered that
he had unwittingly annexed a pair Of
costly opera glasses in a dainty blue vel
vet case. He at once instructed the hall
porter to restore them to the owner, who
resided at certain number in Grosvenor
crescent. The servant, however, left
them by mistake at the same number in
Grosvenor place, where they were re-
garded in the light Of very handsome
and most appropriate wedding present.
The owner became uneasy, but the por-
ter was sure he had made no mistake,
and the mystery remained unsolved un-
til the lady in question accidentally saw
her glasses on the ledge Of an opera box
occupied by ducal party. An explana-
ton then ensued, and the matter was
amicably settled without the interven-
tion of the lawyers. s.-London World.

No Familiarity Intended.

An American visiting English clubs is
sure to be surprised at the number of
titles he hears. Besides the nobility
nearly every one seems to have a special
handle to his name. Colonels are not
quite as numerous as in Kentucky or
Georgia, but for captains and majors we
can't hold candle to them. But it was
reserved for me, an American, to ''knock
them out" on rank in q most unexpected
manner. d An old waiter--an ex-soldier--
at the Savage, called me Marshall several
times oneevening, and was reprimanded
by one Of the members for addressing q
guest by his first name. "His namel'
exclaimed the old fellow, looking aston
ished-and then turning said, "Why,
your honor, I thought marshal his
rankr' General Grant prophesied that
! should be general. but thebld waiter
went him one better, and the title stuck
to me for awhile, too Marshall p.

1t is apparent from these figures, the
correctness of which cannot be lisprov-
en-, that the threetenths mill levy will
not raise sufficient money for the sink
ing fund by from eighty to one hun
dred thousand dollars.
And vet Republican editors in a
spasm of delight, proclaim that the
State tax levy is now lower than it has
ever been, and the Republican State
Convention, in shout of enthusiasm,
resolved that the financiering of the

and that in consequence, contrary to
usage, Governor Foraker is entitled to a
third term. Meanwhile the State debt

THE SINKING FUND.
How the Republicans Managed to
Reduce the State Levy.

Wooster Democrat: Although the
balance of the State sinking fund on
the 10Th of November, 1998-last year
was only 81 ,448.69--less by thousands
than at any preceding year since 1880
the late Republican Legislature re-
duced the levy for sinking fund pur-
poses from five-tenths of a mill to three
tenths of mill.
This levy is not sufficient to pay the
interest on the irreducible debt, the
funded debt and the $3.50, 900 of the
funded debt that becomes due next 1st
Of July.
But what do they care for that. The
election will he over by that time and a
deficiency bill will have to be passd by
our Democratic legislature.
The amount realized last year for the
sinking fund from the levy of ffive-tenths
of a mill was $685., 1887.
The amount that will be realized for
the sinking fund from the levy of three
tenths of mill on the same duplicate
will be only $5l9, ,209.30.
The amount of interest paid on the
irreducible debt for the year ending
November 18th, last, was $265, ,288. .O6. It
will be as much as that this year. Of
flee expenses were 81 1893 ss; expense Of
redeeming bonds was $977.82.
Assuming that the July interest of
this year and the $25O,0OO due this
month, have been paid, the interest on
the public funded debt of the State OF
Ohio, will be next July, $S3, 200.
On the first of July next $3.50, 900 OF
the funded debt will be due.
i The requirements and receipts of the
sinking fund for the ensuing year, then,
will be as follows:

Pittsburg Post: "The duty on raw
sugar has an element of protection In
it, but is, In effect, revenue duty,
yielding over sos ,000, 900 to the treasury.
On the other hand the duty on refined
sugar is protective almost to the pro

This being the situation, there is no

thereby benefit the people; but this
will not be done by the Republican

Minister Reid's Paris Mansion

The home of the American minister
and Mrs. Reid is one of the most magnif-
icent of the private residences of Paris.
1t was originally the home of the Count
ess of Grammont, who was born Mile.
Sabatier. The father of the countess
was formerly the French consul general
to Egypt, and he had acquired vast
collection of Egyptian curiosities, which
he had caused to be arranged in the vast
hall of his splendid hotel, which at his
death became the property of his daugh-
ter. 1t must be confessed that this hall
when our present representative at Paris
came to take up his residence in his new
abode was anything but cheerful in its
aspect. 1t was adorned with mummies
in their cases, with statues of Isis and
Osiris in black basalt, and with cabinets
filed with old Egyptian bronzes, not
terry, ETC., larger pieces of bronze being
placed on brackets along the walls.
The effect was depressing, not to say
funereal. Minister Reid caused all these
dusky curiosities to be carefully packed
away and has had the walls hung with
brocatelle of crimson ground and fix-
ured with design in deep yellow. Only
the marble sphinxes that decorate the
balustrade ends of the grand staircase
remain to tell of the Egyptology of the
builder of the mansion. Opposite the
staircase is the door leading to a series
of sumptuous drawing rooms. The
smaller sized of these and the first of the
suite is paneled with LOUIS XIV groups
after Boucher. The grand drawing
room is paneled and furnished with
crimson brocaded satin. The cornice is
richly carved and gilt, forming a setting
to painted ceiling representing cloud
hecked sky. In front of the central
window stands life sized statue of
Helen of Troy, by an Italian artist. Be-
yond this apartment is the dining room,
where twenty-four persons can be seated
at table.-Paris Letter to Philadelphia

A CAPT. KIDD STORY.
Mysterious Strangers Garry Off Treasures
from a ConSecticut Graveyard,

Mysterious Strangers Carry Off Treasures
from a Consecticut Graveyard.
Ever since the recent heavy rains
worked deep gullies in the old roads in
the vicinity Of Lordships farm in this
township and number of gold coins of
ancient date were found, there has been
great excitement over what is supposed
to be a clew to Capt. Kidd's buried trea-
sures Searching parties have been Or
ganized and all the old stories relative to
the hiding place of the wealth of the bold
buccaneer have been revived and have
become the chief topic of conversation
The story that the old johnson vault in
the Episcopal burying ground near the
village was made the receptacle of vast
treasures on the return of Kidd from one
OF his expeditions seemed to be the most
probable, and the strange performances
which have taken place there for few
nights back strengthen the belief of the
majority of the villagers that search
is being carried on, if really the treasure
has not been found and carried away,
A few nights ago cab was seen to
drive up to the gateway of the cemetery
about midnight, and two men left it and
went into the yard. They returned in
about an hour and drove away. No i'm
portance was attached to this incident,
but when the same thing was repeated
the following night, and it became
known, the town was all excitement.
Rumors of body snatching, and of the
discovery of the treasure and its reno
val by night were flying thick and fast.
The cemetery was carefully searched,
the old vault being the thing of particu-
lar interest. Nothing was discovered to
verify the suspicious, and it was deter
mined to form a vigilance committee
and lie in wait to solve the mystery.
The next night found twenty five men
waiting for the mysterious cab and it's
occupants to appear. AT about the same
hour up it drove, and two men entered
the cemetery and were lost to view
among thee trees.
Not a man among the twenty-five
lying concealed in the bushes dared to
move, and in short time the two men,
possibly laden down with gold and Jew
els, emerged from tho cemetery, and
entered the cab. The driver, who all
this time had sat upon the box as mo-
tionless as the marble post at the en-
trance of the cemetery, whipped up his
horse, and disappeared in the darkness.
The next night fresh recruits were
added to the party, but the cab and its
mysterious occupants did not put in an
appearance.
A search through the cemetery failed
to show any signs of the visit. The
rusty fastenings of the old johnson
vault were in the same position as they
had been for over 200 years.
There is strong belief among the
older inhabitants that the treasure has
actually been found and carried away in
the cab.-Stratford Conn., Telegram.

He Knew No English.

About one month ago young man
named Joe Harpster was struck on the
back of the head with a pair of brass
knuckles by footpad, knocking him
senseless, and for more than a month he
lay unconscious. A few days ago he
suddenly recovered his senses, but when
he did he was able to converse intelli-
gently only in the German language.
He was born of American parents, who
spoke German, and that was the Ian
guage he first learned. He gave that
UP, however, and learned English, using
it at all times, entirely forgetting his
German. Now he can remember moth
ing of English. Scientists are wrestling
with the problem.-St. Louis Republic.

Those who are in the habit of con-
sidering Canada as am Arctic and ste.
rile country will be surprised to hear
that she has one-fourth more land fit
ted to wheat cultivation than the
whole United States. In 1887 the
yield of wheat in our own country
was little over twelve bushels per
acre. In the same year Manitoba
alone raised IL, 500, 900 bushels, and av-
eraged twenty-scven bushels per acre.
The climate of Canade does not hind
er, but contributes TO, the wealth and
enterprise of her people. She has
more timber of every possible descrip-
ton than both she and the United
States could consume in a hundred
years. She has more iron and coal
than any other country in the world.
She has probably more copper than all
other countries combined, and there is
no telling what lies hidden under the
snow and ice of J. r. northern coun-
tries. New York L, tier.

An Alabama Negro Killed by a near.

Yesterday three negroes-Ned Taylor,
Jim Robinson and Joe Sweeny-went
squirrel hunting in the swamps of the
Warren river, few miles from Car
thage, Ala. In hollow stump they
found two young bears, and attempted
to capture them alive. While they were
tying one Of the cubs the mother sud-
denly appeared ON the scene and attack
ed Taylor. His gun was knocked out of
his hand and the bear seizyl him around
the body. Taylor's companions were SO
badly frightened that they dropped their
guns and fled from the spot. When they
returned half an hour later they found
Taylor dead and torn to pieces by the
teeth and claws of the bear. The cubs
were in q tree, but the old bear was
lying on the ground writhing in agony.
Taylor had gotten out his knife and
stabbed the bear repeatedly before his
strength gave out. The animal was
killed by shot from Robinson's rifle

CAROL SPRANG FORWARD AND CLAsPED
HER ARMS ABOUT THE NECK OF
THE WIDOW

In all her life Carol Richmond had
never seen such an expression Of wild un-
governable Joy as swept over the features
of Mrs. Randall when she uttered those
four words, so simple, and yet containing
q wonderful amount of knowledge to the
poor lady:
"He is my fatherW
First of all she could trace amazement
and incredulty on the face of the widow,
but this quickly gave way to other feel
ings as her mind began to comprehend
the true state of affairs.
Then cry broke from her lips-a cry
so full of delirious joy that 1t pierced
Carols heart-and she realized then
what was the relationship between them.
"My child my child Oh, how could
they be so cruel as to tell me all had died?
see it now! He would not let me have
even one little grain Of comfort and hope,
but must doom me to complete despair
But the Comforter came-he could not
keep him away-and found peace. You
have looked on your mother as dead, and
few there are who know different, but
she stands before you, Carol, seeking
your pity-your love. Will you como to
me, or have you learned to hate the
mother that bore you? Speak to me, my
child my heart trembles in anticipation.
Heaven help me-"
There was not the least hesitation.
With low, exultant cry of Z" My
mother !" Carol sprang forward and
clasped her arms around the neck of the
widow.
The strange feelings she had expert
enced at sight of Mrs. Randall were all
explained now, and could be accounted
for on very natural grounds.
They embraced with all the fervor OF
those who loved, though they had been
parted SO long that it was as if Carol had
never seen her mother.
Then they sat down to talk, first Of the
strange fate that had led to this meeting,

What was there In tho hidden past of
this still handsome woman that con-
nected her with Lawrence Richmond!
Tho widow had not even heard Carols
name from Roger, he having only stated
the bare facts, and she had consented at
once to aid him, her soul recognizing the
injustice Of such a forced marriage.
Carol possessed part of her fathers
determined character, and she did not
long heat about the bush. Though her
question apparently startled tho widow,
there crept a shadow of pain into her
face and her voice trembled as she said !:
"People often turn to the wall the pic
lures of those dead. He is dead to me-"
"Was he u great friend, then?" asked
Carol, breathlessly, her eyes fixed upon
Mrs. Randalls face.
"He was moro than that, child. All!

revile you-to wrongfully accuse you of
that at which your heart recols In
