A FURRY AMONG IMPORTERS.

The importers in New York and Boston
were in a high state of excitement yester-
day. The new tariff law went into effect at
noon yesterday, and the Custom House
was overwhelmed by the flood of merohan-
disc which importers wished to enter under
the old duties. Secretary Window treated
the importers very fairly, and obtained per-
mission from the President to allow
the old tariff law to remain in
effect till midnight. In consequence
the brokers at both ports strained
every nerve to hurry goods through the Gus
tom House, and at Boston tugs were even
sent out to sea to bring in overdue vessels.
If the dramatic incidents described in our
news columns carry any moral it is that
changes in our tariff should be made as in
frequently as possible, so demoralizing to COM
merce are their effect. The country is for
tunate now in the possession of tariff which

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
My attention was called by one of the staff of
the Times d Democrat, of this city, to an article
published in your journal which read as fol-
lows: "Carlotta Patti, the young daughter of
Adelina PATHS dead brother Carlo, is living in
squalor and wretchedness on Canal street, New
Orleans. During one of Nine. PATHS visits
South she hunted up this child and took her
with her to her Welsh castle. Some months
after this the little girl mysteriousy reap
peared at her old home in New Orleans, and
has since lived there, apparently cut off from
all communication with her rich and famous
aunt"
Now. sir, I wish you to refute this article, as
every world of it is false from beginning to
end. My daughter is living with me, not in
luxury, it is true, but in a pleasant and COM

is generally satisfactory, and which Is not
likely to be altered for some time to come.

WITH the purpose of contrasting the
relative degrees of harmony in the two parties
of this State, the Rochester, N. Y, Democrat
asserts that the friends of Pattison forged an
interview with Wallace in which that gentle
man was made to iDdorse the candidacy of
Pattison." This leads to the expectation that
the esteemed Delamater organs will assert that
the Democratic managers got up bogns B. F.
Meyers to appear at that Harrisburg meeting,
and announce that Wallace will soon return
from Europe and take part in the campaign.
The significance of Wallace's attitude is that
his lieutepants have been watching the cam
paign closely and have discovered that it is
time for them to get on board the train.

was the largest for any month since the refund

Mr.. HEWITT is now widely quoted as
declaring that trusts are dangerous only when

the trouble is that all the trusts under discus

tempt. Mr.. Hewitt might also have remarked
that tyrants are only dangerous when they try
to exercise arbitrary power and suppress the

the old tragedian.
remarked the stage manager. my father, who
lived and died a member of the Boston Museum
Stock Company, used to tell a story of the
elder Booth that illustrates one Of the beauties
of the system. The elder Booth was the star
to come, and previous to his arrival a number
of the members of the company fell sick, and
for this reason the low comedian had to be
pressed into,a role for which he was in no wise
fitted, namely, that of Julius Cesar He was
a round-bodied, merry-souled little fellow, and
notoriously fond of what we nowadays call
"guylng," on and off thellstage. My father
who was to play Marc anthony eau
toned the comedian not to play any
Jokes upon Booth, who did not like
trifling of any sort. They rehearsed Julius

as Brutus, in the assassination scene, struck
Caesar with his dagger. Cesar, according to
custom, ought to have fallen dead at the base
of Pompeys statue, and the comedian had been
particularly cautioned to respect the tradition
But he chose out of pure contrarIness. prob
ably, to die further up the stage Booth gave
the PROSTATE Caesar gentle kick, and bade
him angrily roll over to the right place. To the
whole company's horror, instead of obeying, the
comedian sat up and said: Look here. Mr.
Booth, Pm Julius Cesar, and Pll die where I
