Arthur were Episeopalians, and Jeffer-
son, Monroe and Taylor were so too as
far as they identified themselves with
any church. Van Buren belonged to
the Dutch Reformed Church, but as
there was no church of that denomina-
ton in Washington. he, too, attended
the Episcopal Church. Franklin Pierce
attended Congregational Church at
his New Hampshire home, PreSbyteri-

communicant of the Episcopal Church

Adams was Congregationalist. John

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.

/ New York Press
George S. Merriam of Springfield, in
letter of regret at his absence from the
dinner of the Boston Tariff Reform
League, attacks protection legislation,
and says that it seems to him desirable
that in the leagues work the principle
of tariff for revenue only should be en-
phasized.
1t is perhaps not generally enough
understood by those who believe in pro-
lection, because they see its beneficent
practical results, that it is not class leg
islation. There are circumstances, of
course, in which it may be made such,
just as any other form of legislation
may be so framed as to favor some peo-
pie at the expense of Others, without af-
fecting the essential character of that
legislation when properly drawn.
A fair and general type of tariff pro-
lection is that which lays duty on i'm
ports of an article that can be freely
produced in this country in the absence
of foreign competition. Just so far as
it thus becomes, for time, more profit
able than usual to produce that article,
there will also arise more competition
than usual in its production, and the
supply will accommodate itself to the
demand in obedience to social law
that no artificial legislation can repeal.
The consumer receives the permanent
benefit, the producer only a temporary
benefit; and the consumers ultimate
benefit bears a direct ratio to the tempo
rary benefit derived by the producer.
In this way the'nation gets desirable
things done for it by making it desira-
bic and profitable for somebody to 90
them. 1t cannot expect people to devel-
ope its resources if they are not to make
anything by doing so. Such protection
is no more class legislation than a bill
appropriating 100000 for desirable
public building, actually costing $685.
600, is class legislation for the benefit of
the contractor who is going to make
$1,000 at the expense of the public.

Mat Prindle. He was mate on

Il passenger on the wa from Little

of Spadra Bluffs there was large
amount of salt in sacks to be dis
charged Now, as you well know,
sacked salt is the very worst kind of
freight for the roustabouts to handle.
1t is considered a test of strength and
endurance. A sack of salt is too heavy
load for one man to carry, and not
heavy enough for two. Some mates
get over the difficulty when big salt
pile is to be handled by using hand
barrows' and trucks, but even then
there must be a waste of labor Prin-
die insisted the men should each carry
a sack, and the result was he soon
had his crew burnt out and
they began to soldier on him. He
noticed this and so did |. We were
both standing on the bank and saw
six of the crew sneak out Of line and
make their way back along the fan-tail
to the wheel. The engines were ship
ped up and the wheel was in such a
position that one of the buckets was
on a dead level. On this bucket the
six shirkers ranged themselves like
crows on the limb of u tree. When
Prindle saw them he seemed seized
with sudden iiendish scheme to pun
ish them. He said nothing to them,
but going aboard the boat he walked
back into the engine-rOom, and, in an
unconcerned way. said to the engineer
on watch: Bill, | wish you would
just give her one turn ahead. The
engineer did as he was told. He
opened the throttle and the wheel
revolved. The six men gave a wild
yell and chung desperately to their
perch. But it was useless; into the
river they went, and three OF them
never came out OF course, there was
a great sensation, and Prindle declared
he did not know the men were on the
wheel, but know he saw them, and
his order to the engineer was for the
sole purpose of furnishing them for SOL

ADVENTURES OF A WATCH.
A Lady's Time-Piece Which Is Continually
Being Lost and Found.

Some years ago q handsome watch
for woman's wear travelled from Swift
erland to a Providence jeweler's 5, where
in show window it attracted attention
as a proper gift to bestow upon a friend
1t was purchased, put in its pretty case
with the chatelaine attached, and the
whole later lost before the purchaser
arrived home. Three days later it was
advertised as found and was again in
the possession of its purchaser. TWAS

many days, after the lady had returned
from drive, the watch was found to
have been dropped from its chate-
laine. No research could find it.
Three weeks later it was carried into
a jewelers. for sale, recognized by the
owner and recovered.
Sitting on the rocks at Narragansett
Pier one summer day, and wondering
If it were yet late afternoon, the owner
of the watch glanced down to see the

had been securely fastened, but the
chatelaine had broken and let go the
timekeeper. Going back to the hotel
the lady was spoken to by an
elderly man. Have you lost
any thing, miss?" was asked.
Eyes, watch" Here it is" And
uninjured the tramp piece of jewelry
was returned to the owner. Tho
chatelaine being repaired stoutly, the
watch was worn to Philadelphia. OF
course it was lost there, and equally Of
course it was found by the chamber
maid in the hotel and mailed to the
owner in Rhode Island by the pro-
prietor of the house. Expostulation
from friends, proffered advice, which
is said to possess an unpleasant odor,
and chidings, failed to make the own
er stop wearing the watch.
Yesterday the watch hung, with
numerous other silver trinkets, sus-
pended from the chatelaine worn from
the girls side. She stood on a wharf
looking down into tie water How
deep is it down there?" was asked.
"About fifteen feet" when the tide
is out?" Yes" Plunge went some

well, it was my chatelaine watch; it

One on Malone.

MessrS. CheadIe, of Indiana, and
Brumm, Of Pennsylvania, were in
vited by General Malone to stump
the State of Virginia in his interest.
They had an appointment at Cumber-
land Court House, in Cumberland
County, which has very heavy
negro majority and the Democrats
made no attempt TO meet them, sup
posing it would be hopeless case to
make any contest there. So the two
Republicans. alone, addressed very
large negro assembly, discussing at
length the intricacies of the tariff and
other questions Of national im>
portance, and went on to speak in
the highest terms Of General Malone,
his friendship for the negro and how
much he had done to elevate them
ard help them assert their rights.
A negro in the audience, by the
name of Hughes, before the meeting
adjourned5 requested that he might
be permitted to reply to the two
gem'len from the North, and referred
to Mr.. CheadIe as Mr.. Beadle, and
Mr.. Brumm as Mr.. Bruin, sarcastic
cally likening them to the animals
those names represented. After dis
cuSSing other matters agltated in the
campaign, he finally took up the
question of General MahOne'S love
for the negro, saying he would illus
trate how much the General loved
the negro by repeating dream he
had the night before. 81 dreamed"
