The Globe wants to know what Mr..
Hoar ment by saying that "if it had
not been for the protective tariff west
ern competition would have been abso-
lutely destructive to New England
agriculture. Mr.. Hoar's meaning is
perfectly plain. If it had not been
for the growth Of manufacturing COM
munities in New England, in conse-
queEce of the tariff, the farmers in
this section would not have had the
near aud profitable market for their
produce which has enabled them to
be Indifferent to the otherwise severe
competition of the western farmers in
the great staples. .-Boston Journal.

A CLERICAL ERROR.

The Barber's Pen Slipped as He Was
 Making Record.
 Some years ago barber was arrested In Paris for badly cutting a customer. There was no question about the gash, and what made it seem worse the razor wielder said, in a way, that he had done it purposely.
 After the testimony was in the judge asked the barber had he any thing to say.
 ''Yes, Monsieur, have. I justify the cutting on the ground that it was mere ly a clerical error; a slip of the pen."
 ''What?" cried the judge, gasping with astonishment.
 slapper. "For months the plaintiff has been getting shaved on trust at my-es- tablishment. I have no very convenient means of keeping accounts, so every time shaved the gentleman cut a lit tie nick in his cheek in order to guide me in my charges when the long-de- ferred day of payment came. So many hicks, of course so many shaves."
 "But how about the clerical error?'' asked the judge.
 "I am coming to that, sir. It so hap pened that the account had already ar rived at the. hundredth nick, and my hand being somewhat unused to mak- ing ciphers the razor turned when I at. tempted them, with the result known. |"
 The entire honesty and candor of the barber were so plain he was let of with light fine.

A Nude lsOdy Horrably Cut Found in ths
 Erie Canal.
 ROCHESTER, N. Y., Oct. 24.-The body of an unknown man was found in the canal near Washington street bridge. The body had evidently been in the water for some time, as 1t was partially decomposed. A large out, seemingly made with knife. extends from the ear to the jaw on the left side of the face, and there is c deep gash on the breast iuat below the collar bono.
 Mrs. Vincent, e lady who was on barge tied to the wharf between Wash ington and Plymouth avenue bridges, was the. first to discover the body. She saw something floating near the bow of the barge, and Supposlng it to be the body of large dog, gave 1t a push out towards the middle of the canal, but as soon as she had done so she dis covered that it was the body of a man.
 The body is that of a man about 30 years of age, with dark hair and sandy moustache, The body was almost in nude condition. The shirt was around the neck like a scarf, the trousers were torn to shreds, which were hanging about the feet, and all the remaining consisted of sho es and stockings. From a gash in the breast the lung protrudod, and there was a deep cut in the groin. Coronor Graham said he could not form an opinion from the casual examinati as yet made whether the cuts on the body were indi cative of foul play.

 TIE bible says that "all that man hath will he give for his life," but it ap- pears that there are people in this world who are willing to sell their lives for a reasonable sum. In province of Bosnia a story was circulated to the effect that one Albert Rotch, who was sentenced to death, would soon be executed unless he secured a substitute to take his place. It was said that he would give a million florins to anyone willing to take his place. The authorities of the province are greatly annoyed at the number of letters in relation to the matter. It is surprising how many persons are willing to die for one million fiorins. Traml | and desperate characters of. all kinds write, begging for the coveted boon It was learned that in many cases cliques were formed, one of which was to sacrifice his life for the benefit of those remaining. It was with the greatest difficulty that the authorities could make these searchers after death understand that the offer of the million florins was simply a canard perpetrated by some wag.
