Rev. Leander Scott, of the Fif-
tcenth Street Methodist Church,
New York, met prostitute named
Lottie Softeye on the street one
night aqout a year and a half since.
She accosted him andk asked him
to eat some popcorn. Then she in
vited him to her room. Mr.. Scott
demonstrated and told the girl she
ought to marry some good man.
Lottie told him that was nice talk,
but that he would not marry her.
The preacher replied that he would
marry her if she showed desire to
be good. The next night Lottie
was at the mission meeting. She
knelt and prayed with the Rev. Mr..
Scott, who fell in love with her on
spot. The union lasted just seven
days. Lottie deserted her reverend
husband. He now wants divorce
and she seems anxious that he should
have it. She says he was so jealous
there YVES no use trying to live with
him, and she returned to her old
ways. The husbands petition for
divorce has already been fled.

Perhaps in nothing except Mr..
shakespeare's inimitable Merchant
of Venice . is the law of contrasts
more foreibly and fully illustrated
than by a comparison of the two
tariff bills prepared for the approba-
ton of the American people, the
one by the Democratic House, the
other by the Republican Senate.
Even fair Portia herself could not
suggests more striking opposites
than are here presented to your view.
The Democratic bill proposes re-
duction of taxes, on the basis of last
years receipts, of s72, ,OGO, 600, while
the Senate bill proposes a reduction
of s45,OOo,ooo, or s27,OOO,OOO les
than the Democratic plan.
The Republican bill makes its re
ductions chiefly upon luxuries such
as tobacco and whisky, and main
tains the war tax on the necessaries
of lifc-the food, shelter and cloth
ing of the people-whieh the Demo-
Gratis aim to reduce. The average
ad valorem tariff rate under the tar
iff now in force is 46.91 per cent;
under the House bill it will be 42.3S
per cent, and under the Senate bill
46 per cent.
The average duty on woolen
goods-on the .ov rcoats. blankets.
tiannels and winter clothing of the
peoples now 81 per cent. Tho
Republican tariff bill puts it up to
II per cent. The tax on wool ..ad
woolens, collected in 1ss7-s8. under
the present tariff amounted % $780,

A case of miscegenation occurred
at Jetfersonville, Ind, last week.
Thos. Cassonee, colored, and Annie
Abbott, the eighteen-year-olddaugh-
ter of Kentucky farmer, were mar
ried by a colored preacher. Shortly
after the ceremony was performed
the brides father appeared, and be
was highly incensed when he found
his daughter was actually married
to his colored farm hand. He had
the groom, bride and minister all
arrested. The punishment for
miscegenation in Indiana is three
years Imprisonment. The girl de-
clares she loves tho man and marri-
ed him for that reason. 1t appears
he was good musician, and had
won her love by picking the strings
of q banjo. 80

The Emitting OF tho Huntington

The building of the Huntington
and Guyaadotte River Railroad viii
place the people Of I.incoln, Logan,
Mercer, Mcdowell and Wyoming
counties in almost direct commnni-
cation with the people Of the county
of Cabell, and our county viii reap
wonderfully the advantages derived
from this proposed new enterprise.
A great future is before West Vir-
ginia IN the utilization of iron ore,
coal and Other sources of wealth
comparatively valueless now, but
receiving an increassdsvalne Of ten
fold, even hnndredfold, from the
touch of intelligent labor. While
nature has done so much for tho
State by planting in her bosom the
richest coal beds in the world, man
has yet done but little TO utilize
them. .tI'he original source of
wealth is the bounty of God in ma
ture. , With all the natural advan-
tagos of the State we have the basis
for making her one of the richest in
the whole galaxy Of States; we arc
all deeply interested in her future
prosperity, and,should in all proper
ways, and by all proper means, help
to makelhe what at some time to
be, ones the richestof all the States.
Let us.do4our duty and make the
best use of the gifts nature has SO
bountifully lavished upon us. Let
us exercise our duty toward those
portions Of the State which are as
yetentireiy undetcloped. -Huating-

cited to establish the proposition.

An exchange very portinently
asks: "by the way, what We're the
reasons, largely personal, which con
strained Mr.. Blaine to decline the
Republican nomination for the Pres
idency, but which do not prevent
him from accepting the Premier
ship?" The question can only be
answered in one way-that Blaine's
friends, and probably Blaine him
self, feared to go before the people
on the issue of Blaine, and that the
people were duped by the putting
forward of Harrison in Blaine's in
terest. Although the Maine states
man seems to have got into the ma
tional household through the cellar
door, yet that he is prepared to take
charge of affairs and relieve Harri-
son of running the country, there
seems to be no reasonable doubt
tits to be a Blaine administration
pure and simple, and we hope his
admirers will be prepared to accept
complete responsibility for the
cour ofevents the coming four years.

The following extract from the
celebrated arguments of exr Gpvornpr
Andrew, lof Massach usutts, made in
1867, in favor of the repeal ofsthe
'Prohibitory Liquor law in that
State, sof immediate interest .Ehe
argument has never been adequately
answered. p ~ .is S
aa II aver that a statute of Profibi-
-tion, aiming tobanish from the table
of an American citizen, by pains and
penalties, an article of diet which a
large body of the people believelto
be legitimate, which the law docs
even pretend to exclude from the
category of commercial articles,
which in every nation, and in some
form in all history, has held its
place among the necessities of lux
uries of society, is absurdly weak,
society by the operations of moral
causes will have reached a point
where it will have become useless;
or else it will be fatal to any liberty,
since, if not useless. but operated
and fulfilled by legal force, it's exc
eution will be pefpetrated upon a
body of subjects in whose abiect
characters there will be combined
the essential Qualities which are
,needfuI to cowardice and servility.
"Do you tell me that no beverage
into which alcohol enters, used in
cooking or placed upon the table,
fifty belongs to the catalogue of
focds2
81 answer: That is a question OF
science, which neither Governor nor
legislature has any lawful capacity
to solve for the people.
"Do you tell me, then, that
whether the catalogue be oxpurga-
ted or not, all such food is unwhole-
some and unfit to be safely taken?
81 answer: That as a question OF
dietetics, and is for the profession OF
medicine. There is, in principle, no
odds between prescribing an article
of diet and prescribing a dose of
physic, by authority of law. The
next step will be to provide for the
taking of calomel, anthony and
Epson salts by act of the General
Court.
"Do you tell me, however, that all
such beverages in their most inno-
cont use involve certain danger;
that possibly any one may probably
many, and certainly somewill, abuse
it, and thus abuse themselves, and
by consequence that all men, as mat
ter of prudence and, therefore, duty,
ought to abstain from and reject it.
81 answer, that is a question OF
morals, for the answer to which we
must resort to the Bible, or to the
Church, or to the teachings of moral
philosophy. The right to answer it
at all, or to pretend to any opinion
upon it binding to the citizen, has
never been committed by the people
in any free government on earth 10
the decision of the secular power.
If the State can pass between the
citizen and his Church, his Bible,
his conscience and God, upon ques-
ton of his own personal habits, and
decide what he shall do, on merely
moral grounds, then it has authority
to invade the domain of thought, as
we'll as of private life, and prescribe
bonds to freedom of conscience.
There is no barrier, in principle,
where the Government must stop,
short of the establishment of State
Church prescribed by law and main
tained by prosecution.

The. government is. simply an
agency of the people for the execu-
ton of certain purposes 1t has no.
sources of revenue of its own, and
can only use the money belonging
TO the people, taking from them by
the taxing power which they have
lodged with their, representatives.
It can have a surplus in the Treas
ury only by. drawing it ont Of the
substance of the people. It belongs
TO them, but the government takes
it away and puts it beyond their
control The "vast aggregate of
individuals" constituting the public
may have use for that money. Per-
haps they. have private debts that
they. find it hard to pay, and possi-
bly, many of them as individuals
haye no surplus above their daily
wants. If the government did not
take from them money which it docs
not need, and Pile y mp IN The
Treasury or pay debts with it that
are. not due, and that it would have
to pay q high premium for the priv
iege of liquidating, OF. squapder it
upon improvements" the people
might find use for it in their "pri-
vate business and get direct
benefit from retaiping it. 1T seems
to us that common sense dictates
that the people should be allowed
to retain what fairly belongs to
them, and that the government
should exact no more revenue than
it actually needs for an economical
administration of public affairs.
Common sense teaches that there
should be no surplus to adispose, of"
and that taxes should be RENTED
and the revenue reduced whenever
it appears that the government is
drawing from the people moro than
it needs.-N. Y. Times.
