A Pleasure for q Child.

Blessed be the hand that prepares pleas
ure for child, for there is no saying when
and where it may again bloom forth. Does
not almost every body remember some kind
hearted man who showed him kindness in
the quiet days of his childhood! The writer
Of this recollects himself at this moment as
barefooted lad standing at the wooden
fence Of poor little garden in his own
native village. With longing eyes he
gazed on the flowers that were blooming
there quietly in the brightness of Sun
day morning. The possessor came forth
from his little cottage; he was a wood
cutter by trade, and spent the whole week
at his work in the woods. He was come
into his garden to gather flowers to stick in
his coat when he went to church. He saw
the boy, and, breaking OF the most beauti-
full of his carnations-it was streaked with
red and white gave it to him. Neither the
giver nor the receiver spoke word; and
with bounding steps the boy ran home.
And now, here at q vast distance from that
home, after 30 many events Of 30 many
years, the feeling of gratitude which agi-
tated the breast Of that boy expresses it
self on paper. The carnation has long since
withered, but now it blooms afresh---N. Y.

Intricacies of the Tariff.

The farmers Of Kansas are slowly ris-
ing to an appreciation Of the fact that
they cannot profitably sell their corn to
Mexico under a tariff policy which ex-
cludes the lead ores of Mexico from
this country. Accordingly. the farmers
Of Kansas are beginning to call upon
their Senators and Representatives in
Congress to vote against the proposed
exclusion of Mexican ores by prohib-
itory duty. At the same time the Col
erado silver miners declare that they
contributed 500. 900 to the Harrison
campaign fund with the understanding
that Mexican ores should be prohibit
ed; and they insist that the bargain
shall be kept in good faith. What with
the double fear of losing Kansas votes
and Colorado money the Republican
managers are in dilenma in regard to
the lead ore tarif--Philadelphia Rec

DOM PEDRO IN EXILE.

How BrazfI's Ex-Emperor Manages to Use
Up His Time.
Having lost his crown, and what was
dearer to him than a hundred crowns, a
loving and esteemed wife, one would
suppose that Dom Pedro would seek to
end the remainder of his days in somber
seclusion, but, on the contrary, his mode
of life at present at Nice differs but lit
tie from that which he was accustomed
to in Brazil
Physically, Dom Pedro is wel1-de-
veloped man, somewhat above the aver
age height, with majestic bearing that
has defied both age and grief. Although
he possesses a fullness of habit suggest
i've of that kind of good living which
adds to rather than detracts from a
healthy development of the physical
faculties, he can not be called robust.
His beard and hair are perfectly white,
and bear strange though not unpleas-
ing contrast with his pale complexion.
His steps are somewhat quick and
springy, indicating a nervous but still
vigorous disposition. His voice is full,
but somewhat tremulous.
The ex-Emperor's chief pleasure con-
tinues to be derived from literary pur-
suits. His study, which is on the second
floor of the Hotel Beau-le-Jour, COM
mands full view of the Mediterranean
and is embellished with handsomely
bound volumes of many of the famous
authors of ancient and modern times
His favorite among the latter is Victor
Hugo. The ex-Emperorr rises every
morning at six o'clock, and after par
taking of his cafe au lait reads the news
papers. At nine o'clock he has a genu-
inc Yankee breakfast taste and habit
he acquired while visiting the United
States. He then goes out for drive
About noon he partakes of light
luncheon and then spends two hours in
his library. At two o'clock he has din
ner, served in French style, which he
dispatches with astonishing rapidity, as
a dignitary expressed it who had the
honor of dining with him. After din
ner he sometimes receives intimate
friends. to whom he devotes an hour or
so. Later he takes a walk for about
half an hour. Returning to his study
he gives himself up to writing till seven
o'clock, when supper is served After
supper an hour is devoted to the mem
bers of his household, who entertain
him with some favorite games Finish
ing this he returns to his library, where
he communes with his chosen authors
until nine or ten, when he retires for the
night
Being asked at what he estimated the
value of his property in Brazil. Dom
Pedro handed the writer the following
appraisement sent him by the Provision
al Government: Silver in the Christoval
Palace. $500. 600; jewels of the Empress,
$500, 600; the imperial crown (confis-
cated), $50. 600: horses and carriages
$50. 600: Dom Pedro's museum and libra
~. $3.50. 600; the Emperor's jewels, $780,

stock farm at Santa Cruz the palaces at
San Christoval and Petropolis and a
special residence at Rio, near the San
Christova1 Palace. Dom Pedro is re-
solved not 10 sell his property.-Paris

RoeeINo InE FARMERS.

How Ten People Are Enriched 1t th0
Expense OF Ten Tho1sand Others.
For every dollar that the farmer pays
out for his children's school books, he
gets twenty-five cents worth Of books
and seventy-five cents worth Of protec-
ton to trusts. The twenty-five cents
pays for the paper and all the labor rep
resented by the book, and the seventy
hve cents goes to swell the pockets Of
people who have not earned it. In this

make ten people richer. and 10, 900 peo-

highwaymen OF the middle ages. 1t is
tax on education, and tends to keep
the poor in Ignorance. The prohi bitory
price OF school books restricts the use
among the masses. Twice the number
of books would be used, twice the mon
ey paid out to the employees of paper

binderies. etc. If these books were sold

whole business is an outrage which the
Legislatures of every State conld very
easily correct. or put an end to by prop

this is only straw which shows (which
way the wind bloweth." It is exactly
the same thing in other and larger
things. It has come to this, that the
farmer must support others, idlers, in
luxury, and when he complains that
farming does not pay, has it thrown in
his face that he is extravagant and
aspires to things that are above his sta
ton, because he is not any more content

TAKING THE POOR.
Imposts Levied for the Benefit Of
Favored Glass.

Imposts Levied for the Benefit Of q
Favored Glass.
just now there is an attempt in some
circles of high-taxers to protest against
the proposed reimposition of the tax on
quinine. It is claimed that this is a tax
on misery and fever beds, and therefore
should never be made.
But it must be kept before the people
that the tax on Quinine is no more a
burden upon misery and fever beds than
Is that which increases the cost of every
blanket to the profit of a few grasping
monopolists. There is no half way in
this matter. If the tariff really re-
duces the cost and selling price of COM
modities, then it would be worse than
cowardice for the high-taxers to refuse
the benefit of this form of taxation to
the sufferers who need the quinine.
But if it be true that the tariff is sought
by the quinine monopolists simply that
they may increase their levy upon the
sick and helpless, then the same is true
as to blankets and every other necessity
Of life which is taxed for the benefit of
. class and at the expense of the masses
The tax on lumber is a tax on fever
beds The same is true as to every
article used by the people from the
cradle to the grave. The statement
that the Philadelphia manufacturers of
quinine demand the restoration of their
powe. to levy tribute on the people in
the form OF q quinine tax, is proof that
they know the full effect of the ta1A ard
that it viii add to their profits proper
