LIVELY TIMES ON BOARD.
The Gale Mixed Up a Queer Lot of
Passengers from " est Africa.


Passengers from West Africa.
From, the Philadelphia Record.
Boston, Jan. 9.-Tie bark Margaret.
Capt. Sargent, arrived here on Monday
from the west coast of Africa in badly
battered condition. She was SO long over
due that she had been given up as lost.
Capt Sargent says that between the gales
and the nature of his cargo he had an ex-
perience he does not wish again to meet.
Besides regular cargo there were twelve
snakes, 400 cockatoos and parrots an ourang
outaug, two small monkeys, two crocodtles
| aud gorilla, which he was bringing from
Durham, Africa, to museum here. There
were some stowawayS on the bark, too.
There were also rats, and they caused the
| death of all but four of the cockatoos and
parrots by eating up all the corn that had
been provided for the feathered passengers.
Then, during a gale, the snakes and croco-
diles broke out of their boxes in the hold
and invaded the forecastle 50 that for five
days the men could not venture into their
quarters, but had to live in the cabin.
These reptiles, along with the rats, kept up
a continual warfare until the surviving
crocodile killed the las sn Ike andcompletet

during fierce southwest storm by some of
the cargo:shifting and falling on it.
During the scrlmmage among the reptiles
the monkeys took to the rigging and stuck
there, despite all efforts to dislodge them,
and the men could not venture about
the crosstrees, the result being the gales
carried away all the barks, hampers AMI
spars. They finally all washed away ex-
cept four, which were captured.
the worst passenger was a five-foot goril-

COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. EDITOR-Permit ne to supple.
ment your reply to Sheriff Davis. 1t
has been and is the custom of Berke-
ley county sherilfs to advertise tax
notices in the county papers. 1t is a
well-known fact that farmers are not
in the habit Of looking i'll stores, &c,
for notices. Their usual source of in
formation is the county paper.
Although the law does not require
the sheriff to advertise in the county
papers, yet it seems but just and cour-
teous to eXpend small sum for the
information and convenience of his
(their) constituents. 1t certainly can
not be alleged thai the sheriff cannot
afford it, for it at least must be COM
pensating office, the fruits Of which
are apparent in the living or proper
ty of every one who holds the office.
Why, then, is the sheriff of jefferson
less accommodating than the sheriff
of Berkeley?
The law empowers the sheriff to APP
point days between October l and
November for collecting taxes. 1t
is usual for the sheriff to appoint days
during the first part of October, to en-
able him (them), so have been in
formed to pay the school orders of
September. This seems to the tax
payers to put all the convenience and
interest on the part of the sheriff, re-
gardless of the convenience and in
terest of the taxpayers.
Farmers are busy seeding during
the days named for collecting taxes,
and for months preceding, preparing
for seeding. Hence, they have little
or no opportunity TO sell and deliver
wheat TO enable them TO pay their
taxes. Whereas, if the latter part of
October, especially the last week, was
the time appointed, farmers would
have time after seeding TO sell their
wheat and pay their taxes.
1t seems to be reasonable that the
aX-payers of Jefferson, who of course
elect the sheriff, ought to have their
convenience and interest observed to
that extent, in that the last week or
10 days of October should be the time
appointed by the sheriff for the col
lection of taxes. c..

COMMUNICATED.

Mr. EDITOR-A communication In
YOUR last issue and the cutlery against
school taxes prompts me to this writ
ing. ] say school taxes because they
are pointed out by our Deputy Sheriff
as the great nonstrosity-the sole
and only cause of the present in
crease. There is nothing said of the
increase of 81 cents county and cent
road tax.
The school tax is the rampant be-
hind which many of our county offi-
Gals hide their enormous salaries.
We are pointed to the repairs on the
| school house known as shepherd 5"
as being unnecessary. The ceiling Of
said house was too low 70 insure good
health. The roof was leaking and the
windows and doors so much worn as
to admit more cool air than could be
warmed by the stove during the win
ter months. This caused the little
children attending this school much
! discomfort, besides endangering their
health. Would you be guilty of coop
! ing your child in such a room. while
you at home by your warm stoves are
enjoying cigar or pipe?
Mans inhumdnity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn.
The statement that the schools are
! the cause of our increase in taxes
may seem more apparent 10 some of
us bv the statement made before the
! Democratic Club of Shepherdstown
! by one of our County Commissioners,
when he said Since l became a
member of the County Court zoe have
reduced the taxes from 81 20 to 90
odd cents Seemingly throwing the
blame of high taxes upon the schools
or somewhere else. 1t is not the fault
of the County Court. They have re-
! duced them.
Mr.. Editor, | think the whole coun-
! ty business needs a thorough removal
! ing, from the highest officials down
schools and all.
| would ask, Have the officers in our
! Court House any more right TO have
| the county furnish them with carpets
for their floors, porcelain washbowls
and revolving chairs, than our coun-
ty schoOl-houses?
Has the county any more T1ght TO
| furnish a library for its loacyerS than 1t
has to furnish each schCn' With ref
erence library?
How many del .quents real es-
tate have we too ay upon on county
record that coulI be collected were
the proper steps taken? How are the
bonds of jefferson county affecting
our taxes, and how many of said
bonds are redeemed?
These are vital questions, Mr. Ed
tor, and they demand the ClgltaRce OF
every citizen. If we are going to cur
tail expenses, let us curtail all along
the line. Let us enact laws providing
for a reduction i'll the salaries of our
county officials We have scores of
men desiring those positions, and |
am sure many of them would be will
ing to work for much less than the
present incumbents. a reduction in
these salaries signifies reduction in
taxation.
Will we permit these big guns to
have us close our schools or shorten
our school term, thereby depriving
our children of an education or caus-
ing us to pay three times "a much as
it now costs us to educate them? For
what? To prevent reducing the COM
missions and salaries of themselves.
Shall we, or shall we not?

LINCOIN'S MELANCHOLY.
HIS SYMPATHETIC NATURE AND HIS
EARLY MIsFORTUNES.


Those who saw much of Abraham
Lincoln during the later years of his
life, were greatly impressed with the
his face always wore in repOse.
Mr.. Lincoln was of q peculiarly
sympathetic and kindly nature. These
strong characteristics Influenced very
happily, as it proved, his entire polit-
zeal career. They would not seem,
at first glance, to be efficient aids to
political success but in the peculiar
emergency which Lincoln, in the
providence of God, was called to meet.

sibly have become the chosen of the
Lord
Those acquainted with him from
boyhood knew that early griefs tinged
his whole life with sadness. His part
ner in the grocery business at Salem,
was Uncle" Billy Green, of Tallula,

toners were few, to hold the gram
mar while Lincoln recited his lessons.

sweet Ann Rutlidge and he, in re-
turn. offered what comfort he could

adds poignancy to the grief some
times is the thought that the lost one
might have been saved.
