Probability of Its Not Being Reported
 Before the Latter Part of the Week.
 WASHINGTON, March 25.-A member of the majority of the committee on ways and means says that the tariff bill would not be reported before Wednesday of this week and probably not until Friday. As to the prob- able date of its introduction in the house he said that would largely depend upon the action of the minority, but in his opinion 1t would not bs reported until the 10th or 10th of April. A further period of two weeks would then be necessary in which to prepare and print the reports containing the view of the majority and the minority respectively, 50 the debate upon the bill will not begin, if his opinion is we'll founded, before the first of May. The debate will last, 1t is supposed, a month or six weeks. Should 1t continue for that length of time vote on the tariff bill in the house will not be reached sooner than the first of May.

THE LAND PURCHASE BILL.


 MT. Parnell Interviewed by the Free- mans Journal - What MT. Davitt Thinks of 1t.
 DUBLIN, March 25.-The Freeman's Jour- nal prints the report of an interview with Mir. Parnell on the subject of the land pur- chase bill. He said the bill was absurd and objectionable in the highest degree. The. liability which the English tax payer will not incur, it is coolly proposed to transfer to the Irish cess payer. That the object of the government is to infate the value of Irish land to an inordinate extent is clearly disclosed in Balfour's speech. A fatal defect of the measure is that it pro- poses to give no local control over it's admin- istration. In that respect, MT. Parnell said, it is long way behind Trevelyan's bill.
 Mir. Davitt is equally pronounced against the bill as an insiduous proposal to give the landlord more than the value of his land.
 MT. Sexton says the bill is less favorable to the tenant than the Ashbourne act.

Dangers OF Tea.

from the British Medical Journal ]
1t is a great misfortune that the
popular name for person who ab-
stains from all alcoholic liquors is
teetotaler; the term has fosted the idea
that tea is harmless beverage, and it
is no doubt true that the moderate
use of we'll made and not very strong
tea is less harmful than the habitual
resort to any other stimulant.
When, however, tea drinking ceases
to be the amusement Of the leisure
moment of busy afternoon, and is
resorted to in large quantities and
strong infusions as a means of stlnlu-
lating the tagging energies to accom-
plish the allotted task, then distinct
danger commences. \ break down
may ensue in more than one way; not
infrequently the Stimulus which tea III
time fails to give is sought in alcohol,
and the atomic fiatulont dyspepsia,
which the astringent decoction made
by long drawing induces: helps to
drive the victim to seek emporary
relief in spirits, sal-volatile or even eau
de cologne, which is at first dropped
on sugar and finally drunk out Of
wine-glass.
In other cases, by ladies especially,
relief is sought in morphine. and in
predisposed person the morphine habit
is established with extraordinary rap
idity 1t has been said that as long as
a person takes stimulans simply for
their taste he is comparatively safe,
but as scon a: he begins to drink for
the effect, then he is running into dan
ger. That is, perhaps, to state the
case for stimulants rather too favor
ably, but if the rule was adhered to
we should have fewer cases of ed
ucated people sliding into habits of
secret intemperance or into morphl-
nomania.

One ceases to wonder at the amount
of British capital seeking investment

within the United Kingdom, the ''per-
sonalities" of Great Britain, or of de-
ceased residents OF Great Britain,
sworn to in 1889 for purposes OF pro-
bate and of succession duty reaching

portable equivalent, and in England
Brewer Dan Thwates left $2,3OO,OOO.
a Cork brewer, w. H. Crawford,
had sworn "persoDalty" of s., 900,
and there were eight other deceased
brewers whose estates were liable to
succession duty on SG,000,000. 1t is
figures like these that Impress on the
English mind the idea that there is in
beer, as there was in DR.. Johnson's
day, "the potentiality of growing rich
beyond the dream Of avarice."
Even the railroad magnates left q
less impressive aggregate, though one
of them-Sir Daniel Gooche. Chair
man of the Great Western died pos
sessed Of S3,c5O,COO, and OF two rail-
road engineers one was wo th $500, 900
and the other $40, 900.
The richest representative Of the
iron industry, who died in 1883, was
manufacturerof ploughs, worth S5l, ,lO0,-
OOO-a sum exceeded by the ''person-
ality" of a London gas filter, whose
heirs divided the snug little sum of
81 100000. But even he does not
come up to John Nevill, baker-who
ever heard of millionaire baker on
this side of the Atlantic ?-whose "per-
sonalityn is sworn at 81, 100000.
It must be remembered that all this
is in personal or movable property,
and that real estate does not count in
the enumeration, not being liable to
succession duty.

Stonewall's Reprimand.

The Atlanta Constitution q few days
AGO SAYS an old soldier at the Capitol
told this story Of Stonewall Jarkson:
It was during his valley campaign
and a battle was expected within
day or two, though Jackson's plans
were so carefully guarded that not
even his adjutant could guess them in
telligently. This self-reliance was
characteristic Of Jackson, and his
aversion to telling his plans was we'll
known among his officers and men.
In fact, it was his policy to surprise his
own men no less than to surprise the
enemy.
General Jackson was one Of a group
of officers and another Of the group
WAS a Georgia colonel, who is still llv-
inc. Conversation was dragging. Jack
son was thoughtful and had little to
saw, and the effect was dampening.
Finally, just to revive the conversa
ton, the Georgia colonel asked alb
ruptly:
General, will we have to fight to-
m0rrow:!'
Everybody knew in an instant that
the budcr was irreparable, and nobody
realized this more tHan the Colonel.
Jackson turned quickly and stared
full in the speakers face. Then he
slowly surveyed the Colonel from head
TO foot, aud back again.
The silence was painful.
"Colonel," said the General slowly,
but not in al unllind tone, "can you
keep secret 81
"Yes, General" was the warm, if
embarrassed assurance. Il knew can.
General. Yes, sir
"Are you quite certain, Colonel :'
4 am quite certain. Gcneral.'
Well, Colonel" in the same quiet,
tone, $50 can I, sir
The Colonel's face flushed crimson
and there was a deathiy silence for 4
minute or mote.
"Now, Colonel" said Jackson, with
some feeling, that rudeness OF mine
hurt me rs much as it did you, but I
trust that it has taught YOU valuable
lesson. five do have fight to-mor-
row, Colonel, your regiment shall
