What a Fake.

What an abominable fake this de-
fence of C~leveland's to the proofs of
the fraudulent character of his title
is, any how! Every day produces
fresh evidence against him. The de-
fence itself but adds to the strength
Of the citizens case. Look, for in
stance, at the excuse given by them
to explain the inability of the citizens
to find the fraud voters
whose names clog the poll lists at the
abiding places recorded for them!
Some one might believe that inadver-
Jsnce is responsible for the entry
of O wrong address occasionally upon
the poll books; but who can be de-
ceived into the belief that a hundred
such errors are possible on a single
record Of 400 names2 The lawyers
who are conducting Cleveland's case
are too shrewd to suspect for a mo-
ment that the learned judges of the
Supreme Court can be deluded by
such absurd explanations.
They cannot be offering such testi-
mony with any idea of affecting the
result. They must be playing only
for timel
Cleveland's only hope is to prolong
the contest during the whole Of the
term he has frau dule ntly entered
npon.

Aha! What's this? An intimation
in the Rings Eoening Journal of last
evening that perhaps the Tax Board
may not have time to fix the valua-
tions carefully by the appointed time
in September. What's the purpose
OF it?. To pave the way for excuses
and apologies that haste forced in
considerate action, when the startled
community rises up in its wrath w
the inevitable ten millions increase?
Or to excuse the announcement Of
totals till after election? 1t could
scarcely be to prepare the public mind
for a long delay. To defer the fixing
Of valuations after September might
invalidate the tax levy, and, SO, leave

A wide, easy lounge is now deemed a
necessity in almost all rooms devoted
to family comfort; but large, soft,
easy pillows, so made and dressed as
to look neat and tidy, and yet admit
of careless treatment, are not so COM
mon. Pillows for everyday service
cannot be used long without becom-

THE ANAMESE GIRL.
She Can Be Bought Cheap But Costs
a Great Deal After All.

DIR. Hocquard, who recently re-
turned to France after a residence Of
over two years in Tonquin, tells about
the Anamese bride of a French officer
stationed at Namdinh. The doctor
visited the officer at his home in the
big town, and there met a very pretty
native girl about eighteen years old,
who wore a robe of violet silk and
more rings on her fingers than
Western bellies regard asin good taste.
''You see, l have married an An
amese," said the officer, laughing.
THAT is, l have bought her from her
parents for forty-five francs. They
signed a contract before the notables
of their village, in which they re-
linquished all their rights over their
daughter. l can do with her as |
please, but | must treat her we'll. III
/ choose | may return her to her par
ents, and they must receive her again.
1t is a very easy sort of divorce. She
cannot leave me without my permits
sion, and if she runs away from me
her father is responsible and must re-
turn to me the money | paid for her.
That is the Anamese law"
THAT seems to be a very practical
and economical arrangement, re-
marked the doctor.
Not so much as you Think" re-
piled the officer. II give III San-for
that is her name-fifteen piastres a
month for her wardrobe, to say moth
ing of the presents | make her from
time to time, and the disagreeable sur
prises to which she treats me now and
then. The other day, for instance.
III San blossomed out in a beautiful
robe of brocaded silk that | had given
her. Then, with of her friends,
she left the house for a promenade,
and while strolling around the town
she saw a party playing cards in a
gambling house.
Like all her people, III San is pas
~sioEately fond of gambling. Nothing
could tempt her to pass that house,
and so in she went, seated herself at a
table, and was soon absorbed in the
game There she sat until she had
lost all her money, her jewels, and
finally the clothing she wore, and
when she returned to me the next
morning she was arrayed in a lot of
rags that had been given her out of
charity.
That is not all. The contract l
made with her parents provides that
l must feed her well. That clause
seems to include her entire kindred.
She had been with me only two days
when her family land you know that
families are not small in this country
swooped down upon us and installed
themselves in a house near mine.
Every time / enter my kitchen | find
my cook preparing rice for all those
persons. | offer them a
thousand insults, but they never
vince, and nothing will induce them
to bulge from my premises until they
have had a good, square meal. You
see, marrying an Anamese girl has it's
decided disadvantages"

The morning call., 1890-12-23

the afternoon, AS he passed up the stairs
bis father, the senior member of the firm,
put his head out of his office door and called
him in.
rather serious subject" he began gravely.
"That young PoyntZ has got himself into
nasty Scrape with girl. He came here this
morning to consult me, ana / spent nearly
two hours in taking down this statement of
his" As he spoke old Cutie pointed 10 the
numerous sheets of draft with which his
desk was Uttered Il could i'll afford the
time, either; for l was already behndhand
with that Dickson settlement. But the poor
young fellow was in such state of mind
about it that felt obliged to take pity on
him. Indeed, it is a serious matter He

violently kissing her III the street And
should he be convicted of the offense it
VIII mean, If not social ruin. at any rate con-
siderable social Disgrace, so far as this neigh
bOrhood is concerned!
Fortunately old Cutie happened to keep
his eyes upon his desk while he WAS speak,
ing, and SO the wOnderstruck. dismayed ex-
nress.On of his sons face escaped him.
That young gentleman had never barganed
Tor this; and there was no denying that he
was very much tlabbergastcd. No doubt
his wisest course would have been to con-
less the hoax 10 his father III once, but, un-
fortunately. he could not find the courage
to do so. Old Cutie was a particularly
severe, matter of-fatt old gentleman, who
hated practical jokes of any kind. And
practical joker, who tempered with the
sacred process Of the law, made fool of
him (Old Cuttle), and wasted some hours of
his precious time, was especially calculated
to rouse his direst wrath. So, instead of
letting the murder out, young Cutie asked,
with as much surprise in his tone as he
could assume:
Who is the girl? Did Poyntz really
kiss herr"
" She is stranger-by name, Amelia
Scragg," replied his father, solemnly.
" Poyntz swears to me that he did not kiss
her, or even try to do so. He merely fol-
lowed her for a hundred yards or so, and
just accosted her; but, when she rounded
on him, and wanttd to know what he meant
by ii, he at once retired, and annoyed her
no further"
Percy experienced strong sense of inter-
nal amusement, as he heard how the boast
ful Pcyntz had been forced to tone down
the story Of his gallantry; but this feeling
OF amusement was soon driven out by the
greater dismay which his fathers next
words OccaSioned.
