 WASHINGTON, D. O., June 19.-President Harrison transmitted to congress a letter from Secretary Blaine conveying the report of the pan-American conference upon the subject of customs union. In his letter MT. Blaine says:

The New York Yacht Club Regatta.
 NEW YORK, June 19.-The winners in the New York Yacht club regatta to-day were the sloops Katrina. Florida, Whileaway and Nirvina and the cutters Minerva and Clara. From start to finish the yachts drifted rather than sailed, getting no wind to speak of until within five miles of the lightship. Then a good breeze from northward came up and sent them along as lively gait to the outer mark. The Shamrock and Katrina sailed close race from start to finish and so did the Choetaw and Mariquita, but they were not in 1t with the Tomahawk and Minerva. The latter beat the Tomahawk thirty. four minutes and twenty-two seconds. The Katrina beat the Shamrock one minute and thirty. eight seconds.

SCARED BY A MISSIONARY.

Bishop Harrington, who ended a ca
reer of good works in Africa by winning
the crown of martydom, once had re-
markable escape, which puts the saint
and martyr in very comical light.
One day, when taking his walk abroad
in the jungles, he saw a pretty little
creature, which came fawning up to him
like puppy. He picked it up and be-
gan to fondle it. Whereupon some ma
tives who were with him howled and
bolted.
Knowing what was likely to follow,
the panic stricken darkies were hardly
to be blamed. The good missionary
had taken lions whelp to his bosom,
and the infuriated parents made their
appearance on the scene.
The Bishop showed equal pluck and
presence of mind. Dropping the cub,
he put up his umbrella and gallantly
charged the lion and Honess, dancing
and yelling as if he had been one of the
unconverted pagans celebrating some
diabolical rite.
Terror at the hideous sight and
sounds got the better of paternal and
maternal affection, and "the great cats
turned tail and rushed back to their lair
in the forest"

THE MOUNTAINS OF INDIA.

Frank G. Carpenters Letter.
Most Americans are satisfied with
Darjeeling. 1t is one mile and half
straight up in the air above the sea, and
if you could pile seven towers like the
Eiffel, built in Paris, one on top of the
other, or fasten thirteen Washington
monuments into one long iron cage and
run an elevator through the whole, you
would just about reach this altitude. l
doubt whether there is a village in
Switzerland so high as Darjeeling, and l
am certain there is nothing in the Alps
to compare with the grandeur of its
surroundings.
The plains of India send up moisture
to the Himalayas which gives them
thousand clouds where the Alps have
one, and here you see clouds of all kinds
and shapes chasing each other over the
hills below you. You see them crawling
up the steep sides of the valleys and
climbing to your very feet, when they
envelop you, and for ten minutes the
mist is so thick that you can not see the
horse on which you are riding. A
moment later the cloud has passed, and
it floats onward toward the snow above.

THE Gettysburg battlefield has been
fought over again, the contestants ap-
pearing on the scene being the survivors
of the Seventy second Pennsylvania
Infantry Regiment on one side and the
Battlefield Memorial Association on the
other. The veterans claim that they
held certain line in the front, and have
erected their monument near the stone
wall at the Bloody Angle. The Battle
field Association coutended that they
occupied another position, and threat
ened to move their monument back.
The army boys have held their ground,
and are supported by special master
appointed in the case, who decides that
the power of selecting upon position
held by regiment in the battle rests
with the Commissioners appointed by
the Governor, cooperative with the
regiment survivors. So the monument
planted by the Pennsylvania regiment
to perpetuate its glory will probably re-
main where it stands, although the case
is likely to go to the Supreme Court,
says the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.

FOLK LORE OF THE CUCKOO.

In Denmark, in the early springtime,
when the voice of the cuckoo is heard in
the woods, every village girl kisses her
hand, and asks the question, "Cuckoo,
cuckoo, when shall be married." And
the old folk, borne down by age and
rheumatism, inquire, "Cuckoo, cuckoo,
when shall l be released from the worlds
cares?" The bird, in answer, continues
Singing "Cuckoo" as many times as years
will elapse before the object of these de-
sires will come to pass. But, as some
old people live to an advanced age, and
many girls die old maids, the poor bird
has so much to do in answering the
questions put to her that she has no
time to make her nest, but lays her eggs
in that of the hedge sparrow.

AN INCOME TAX.

| Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
One of the most Objectionable and
unpopular modes of collecting revenue
during the war era was the income tax.
1t was not resorted to because it was
supposed to be. .a,desirable or satisfactory
way of getting money, but chiefly for
the treason that it was necessary. 1t
was one of many other means open to
the Government, and the necessities of
the treasury had to.be met the best they
could. There,,was great populor indig-
nation at the inquisitorial nature of the
tax, and those who willingly submitted
to an exhibition of their private affairs
because: they desired to throw no OBJ
stacles in the way of the Government
knew very we'll that they were taking
unequal burdens upon themselves since
hundreds of their citizens less
conscientious and patriotic either shirked
their obligations altogether or paid only
in part with grumbling and grudging.
The tax was repealed as soon as it
COulu oO oPoiOu, aHu OhC "onuOi 40 0ii"s
any considerable number should now be
found advocating return to it. How
ever desirable the system may be, viewed
from theoretical standpoint, experience
has demonstrated that it is not only un-
popular by reason of its inquisitorial
character, but very difficult of enforce
ment. There are demagogic leaders
who. under the plea of getting whack
at the rich, are agitating the subject of
a graduated income tax, and not few
prominent Democrats are lending en-
couragement to the scheme. If they
choose to make this party issue, they
will have an excellent opportunity to
do so on the assembling of the next
Congress.

A TOUCHING SCENE.
MRS. swEITZER AND CAPTAIN LITTLE
SENTENCED.

Columbus Dispatch.
There was touching scene in the
United States Court this morning when
Mrs. Caroline Sweitzer and Captain W.
H. Little, of Bellaire, were called before
Judge Sage for sentence. The parties
were convicted of defrauding the Gov
eminent out of 81, 40, by presenting
fraudulent pension claim. Mrs. Sweit-
ger perscnated her mother. who died
after making an application for a pen
ion on account of the death of her son,
and Captain W. II. Little acted as her
attorney. The latter has been promi-
nent man in his town, having held sew
eral public offices, to which he was in
each instance elected by very large
vote. He served three years in the army,
and was captured and confined in Libby
Prison for several months.
Both prisoners felt keenly their dis
grace, and when called for sentence it
was with difficulty that they restrained
themselves. Mrs. SweitZer sat in the
room and lamented her fate, crying
aloud several times. Mrs. White, wife
of Deputy Clerk White, endeavored to
console the prisoner, and after a time
succeeded in quieting her. Mrs. Sweit-
ger is 48 years old to-day, and she re-
ceived sentence of two years at hard
labor in the jail of Belmont county. In
passing sentence Judge Sage remarked
that had she returned the $1,700 yet in
her possession when the fraud was dis
covered, case could not have been
made against her
Captain Little, who had manfully |
braved the dangers of war, could not
face the court and sentence without |
weeping, and the tears coursed down his
cheek, despite his effort to force them !
back. Before sentence was pronounced |
Hon. L. d. Hagerty addressed the court
n behalf of the prisoner, referring to his
career and service to his coun-
ry. The court said Captain Little had
lone his duty AZ soldier exceedingly |
veil, and by every blow struck against
he enemy he had pledged himself to his
country and her laws. To do this so
,ravely and honorably and then commit
his crime, thus making war against the
government in time of peace, merited
wen severer punishment than under
'ther circumstances, but the court would
lot pronounce sentence on this theory.
The court agreed with the jury that the
of the prisoner in his OVID be-
lalf was false, and would therefore SEN
ence him to two years at hard labor in
he Ohio Penitentiary.

the lines representing an old man, with
a bell in his hand, seated beside small

not contrary to the letter of the Consti-

punishments. The first decision was
rendered before trial of the electrical
method of death had been made. The
latest decision has been given with the
result of the Kemmler killing known to

hay grass after he had cultivated it ex-
tensiyely for his own use for years.
Timothy came from Europe, but just
when no one knows.
