Baltimore Subtitle people are tired of
prosperity produced by taxation. tt e
prosperity is well enough as far as it goes,
but the trouble aboutprotectionist prosper
ity is, that it is felt only in spots, while the
poverty it causes is generally diffused
What is wanted is kind of taxation that
will make everybody rich, not merely a few
men in few favored communities.

AN INVENTIVE EDITOR.

editor OF the Cleveland Leader" said q
gentleman who knew him we'll. 10
Kansas City Times man. was Ia many
respects peculiar and eccentric man.
No one ever questioned his good heart

ly a man OF fads and whims. II he was
the victim of one idea more than another
II was that in him the world possessed
perhaps the greatest inventor since the
days Of Stevenson. Figst and last |

patents. There was when worked on

the young man was called 10 assist.
Mr.. Cowles brought his invention to

Joy and satisfaction. fastened IL in the
fifth story window overlooking Long
street, aud nominated his young man
assistant To make the first descent to
the pavement below. The victim pro-
ceeded 10 obey. as Mr. Cowles could
not stand opposition. and the result
was after lowering himself few feet
the invention stuck fast. and the re-
porter was suspended between heaven
and earth. The thing was serious.
He was too low to get back TO the win
dow and too high 10 get in at the
next story, aud there he swung prey
to terror and the breeze. Efforts look.

the fire department found temporary
and hilarious enjoyment in his taking
down.

gentleman evolved a tricycle. which

would run itself like an eight-day
clock. Ii was started by pressing a
button, and in theory at least, was
stopped by setting a small break. Mr..

For some hours il was feared the career
of the reporter was over, but month
in the hospital gave him back again.

G.. w. McGraw, Co. +, 18th Pa,

not believe that anything that Negley
did at Chickamauga need be kept quiet.
AS to the story that Negley withdrew
his division from the field. and part OF
Gen. Shcridan's also. that has been

Stevens's Gap. driving the enemy into
Dug Gap where they were reinforced
and drove the Federals back To Look
out Mountain. but there were repulsed.
The same night our boys marched
down into the valley toward Chicka-
manga, and until noon the next day
were guarding ford on Chickamauga
Creek. Leaving there, they arrived
on the field early on Saturday evening.

The common rebel account, which
has been to certain extent acquiesced
In by our own historians, Is that
Grant had l24, 600 men. while Lees
army stacked only 5000 muskets at
Appomattox. Not more than Sc, 900
Union troops were near enough 10
Appomattox 20 produce pressure upon
Lee. II Is impossible to say just how
many men the latter had confronting
them. The historical statements that
only about 5000 laid down their arms
are misleading. Lee asked Grant for
20. 900 rations during the afternoon
OF the 9th OF April, and these were
found insufficient. On the 10th 20. 900
were issued. besides which the twelve
cars OF provisions that Sheridan had
captured on the 9Th, were turned oyer

left OF them---our boys having looted"

say, finding the nicely-cured Southern
