 A Pennsylvania court has decided that electric light companies are not manufactur- ing corporations and therefore are not ex- empt from taxation. The court holds that the term manufacturing" cannot properly be applied to any corporation which does not produce material substances Electricity is not material substances; neither is the elec- tric light material substance. In this opin- ion the court declares that the act of 1879, imposing a tax upon capital stock, is consti- tutional.
 The Supreme court of the United States is nearly three years behind in it's business. As remedy Chief Justice Fuller recommends the establishment of an appellate court be- tween the Supreme court and the lower federal tribunals. This plan is embodied in the bill drawn up by the late Judge David Davis, and has received the approval of law yers, judges and the public generally. Its enactment into law will afford the court tine relief of which it has been SO long in need. "This plan," says Chief Justice Full Ter, "was tried in Illinois, and in about two years the Supreme court of that State was enabled to catch up with business that had accumulated on the docket. The country" adds the chief justice, 'swould be benefited by such an intermediate court, and sim cerely hope congress will authorize it's estab- lishment.''

BEDDING.

New York Town Topics says of Noah Lee, recently sent to jail for keeping a disreputable house: This disreputable old Lee, who for 40 years has been the champion bad man of his native town, is none other than the brother of old David Lee, of the firm of Lee, Dater & Miller and own uncle to the Princess DeNeur, widow of the prince of Schleswig-Hol- stein, now Countess Waldersee, wife of Von Moltke's successor as chief of stall of the great German army, herself the most influential society woman in mod ern Berlin. It certainly does seem trifle odd that one brother should go into the world, make fortune in groceries and wed his daughters to princes, counts and ambassadors, and that the other who stopped at home should find his employ ment in diversions that have, on numer- ous occasions, brought him into collision with the law.

SOUTH BRITAIN.

At the missionary concert in the Con gregational church, fact was brought from the Missionary Herald concerning the trouble in the Samoan islands, which our secular papers have not mentioned. It seems that the German merchants had imported coolles to work their planJa- tions. These were lawless and would not obey the Samoan king and the Ger mans helped forward the insurrection. The king was a good man and hence, in stead of seeing his people suffer, he gave himself up to the Germans, who carried him first to Africa and then to Germany. Justice would insist upon restoring him to his own people. This Is not the first time that foreign missionaries have aid- ed the civil government of the nations from which they have gone out. by giv- ing reliable information.

The Dog and the Bees.

A dog, being annoyed by bees, ran,
quite accidentally, into an empty barrel
lying on the ground, and, looking out at
the bung hole, addressed his tormentors
thus:
"Had you been temperate, stinging me
only one at time, you might have got
good deal of fun out of me. AS it is, you
have driven me into secure retreat; for
can snap you up as fast as you come in
through the bung hole. Behold the folly
of Incorporate zeal.
When he had concluded, he awaited a
reply. There wasn't any reply; for the
bees had never gone near the bung hole;
they went in the same way as he did, and
made it very warm for him.
The lesson Of this fable is that one can
not stick to his pure reason while quar-
reling with bees.-Ambrose G. Bierce.

Origin of the Menu.

Here is another custom of the ancients,
and one in which we can see the origin
of our menu cards. Each guest, as soon
as he had settled upon his couch, was
handed paper upon which was written
the name Of every article to be served at
the feast and in the order in which it was
to be served-a convenient, if not an in
dispensable custom; indeed, in the pres
ent day we would be apt to look upon
the omission as barbarous, for what could
be moro SO than to keep man of mod
crate gasronomic capacity in ignorance
of some coming delicacy, and thus allow
him, in the dark, to crowd it out with
some previous dish or dishes which he
may tolerate rather than fancy.-Table

repeating and repeating obstinately the
hideous charge.
"Ehou art murderer, JOcard, a mur-
derpr, and you know itP'
Jocard sinks to his knees, struggles to
his feet again, to fall anew. The voice
goes on and on remorselessly. He can
bear it no longer-he throws up his arms
he yields to the Invisible!.
81 will, will!'' he screams, 81 will con-
fess-I did kill the old Pierret! did
rob him of his money! But for Gods
sake stop it-that accursed voice-stop
it! stop It'll"
Stop It'll But it will not stop-it is like
a machine that runs forever, and it
comes from the Comtoise. Jocard dis
covers it at last, and with howl of rage
filings himself upon it. He strains it in
his arms, shakes it, dashes it to the floor!
The works tumble from the case, and
with them long roll covered with metal
sheathing.
Pierret, listening at the open window,
crosses the sill with bound; his fingers
close upon Jocard's throat with grasp
of iron.
''Do you hear him?" he cries. 'sDo
you hear him, one and all? call upon
you to witness it-Jocard confesses-he
is my fathers murderer
And how had Pierret learned or guessed
the truth? "Instrinct," he would have
told you, aided by Providence and an ac-
-cidental discovery that the tale Jocard
related of San inheritance" from beyond
the mountains was lie out of "whole
CLOTH" as the saying goes; Jocard's
avoidance of his shop; a dozen such
trifes as these and an indiscreet word or
two dropped by the rascal himself when
in his cups. inspiration from heaven

reur generals words in his arraignment
of the criminal, had done the rest and
taught poor, insignificant worker on
watches to utilize the great and scientific
principle of the phonograph in the cause
of justice by adapting it to the mechan-
ism of a clock.
Jocard was condemned unanimously,
and the Comtoise, it's mission done, sings
as cheerily as ever on the walls of the
Pierret shop, and will sing there forever,
for all the money that was ever coined

to him is his fathers avenger Trans

AN ACCUSING VOICE.

1t was indeed a beauty, with its box of
carved wood, it's broad face with enam-
eled horn figures, its heavy pendulum of
polished brass, shiny as gold, that went
to and fro behind round disk of glass.
Every one who saw it through Pierret
the clockmaker's window stopped in
amazement, and there was constantly q
crowd of admirers before the door.
Pierret, the clockmaker, was still
young man-about thirty, perhaps-but
he was always sad and taciturn, for he
had had a great sorrow in his life.
Seven years before, while he was in the
army, his father had been murdered in
that very shop which now he occupied.
He had heard Of the horrible catastrophe
at his regiments quarters, and returned
at once.
Who was the murderer? Upon whom
could he avenge the poor old man who
had never done harm. to any one, and
and had always treated him with so
much love and gentleness? The legal in
quest had been fruitless also, although
the murderer had robbed as well and
stolen the 10, 900 francs that the father
had put aside, sou by SOU, for his son.
All researches, however, had been in
vain. Pierret had finished his time in
the army; then, free from the service,
had come back to settle in the murdered
mans house, having to all appearances
conquered his feelings and chased away
worry by hard work.
It was evident, though, that sorrow
was still gnawing him, for you could
see him after dark roaming about
the village as if hunting for some one,
and this some one, of course, was the
murderer, too well hidden to be discov-
ered-as yet.
And thus time passed-weeks, months
and years. No one thought of it any
more except the orphan and that other,
the still unknown, who naturally enough,
would be unable to forget.
Very recently Pierret, who was great
newspaper reader, had gone to Paris and
stayed there for several days, son bust
ness," he said, and he had brought with
him the Comtoise, that gem of art in his
window, before which the village stood
in envy and admiration.
Country people are fond of heavy,
solid and rich furniture, and, in fact, the
case Of the clock was Of more than COM
mon size and beauty.
''And how much could that marvel
have cost?''
"Come in, gentlemen" said Pierret,
politely, to the people who crowded in
front of his shop; "come in and I'll tell
YOU"
And then there were exclamations and
praises without end.
''But its cost?" ''Dame, rather dearr'
"But the figure?" GA hundred ecus. :"
At this there was a cry of disappoint-
ment, though truly the Comtoise was
worth it, being not only beautiful but, as
Pierret declared, unique and rare. "Still
a hundred ecus, and for clockl Did it
striker "Strike! Undoubtedly; listen!''
and the clockmaker touched the bell,
that sounded with a clear, sonorous and
silYery ring.
