Gambetta. He had glass eye. Tho
day on which he first wore it he had an
engagement to dine with Sarcy, tho
eminent dramatic critic. This caused
Gambetta to be late. Sarcy knew the
cause andtold it to the guests, who were
too polite, of course, to affude to It. Gam
beta came and during the evening he
grew anxious about that Of which he
was most sensitive. So he asked one OF
the guests:
ssDo you not notice any alteration in
my appearance?"
The guest replied: 80, yes, you have
had your hair cut"
This was tact.
Nonsense" answered Gambctta, Il

"Ah," was the remark, you are jok-

BOOMING AGRICULTURE.

Tho Braying OF tho Donkev tho Head
.as, of tho Agricultural Department.
The farmers have succeeded in maxi
ing an impression upon the minds of
the statesmen at Washington. The de-
preston of the agricultural interests is
now generally admitted, and all sorts Of
panaceas are suggested. Secretary
Rusk, of the Agricultural Department.,
comes forward with two recommends
tions. He thinks, in the first place,
that the farmers do not entirely COM
prehend their business. He says they
should not acquire more land than they
san properly cultivate. He believes
they lack intelligence and skill. When
the farmers read this they will want
Secretary Rusk's scalp In the sec
ond place. the Secretary recommends
nigh rates Of duty ON Sagricult-
ural products. In this particu-
lar the Secretary is logical. If we are
to have high rates Of duty on one thing,
there is no reason why we should not
have similar ates on another that is
to say, If the idea of tariff for protec-
ton is to prevail as against the tariff
for revenue. But we do not believe the
farmers will accept Secretary Rusk's
suggestions. They merely tend to show
how small potato is at the head Of the
Agricultural Department. The Score
tary shows that he Is neither farmer
nor statesman. just how a congested
''home market" is to compensate the
former for the loss Of his foreign market

ton is good thing, then by All means
