ONE OF The FINEST.
How He Made y Mistake and Collsred this
Wrong Man.

HOW He Made n MISTAKE and CoIared tins
Wrong Man.
1t was o'clock, the not particularly
witching hour when the toilers of the
great city are struggling homeward.
On corner stood a very striking exam
pie of lone of the finest" airily swing
ing his club and observing the trim
young working girls trip over the broad
street crossing. Suddenly he became
aware that very pretty young woman
of modest attire had taken her stand on
the corner near him.
He noted the blueness of her eyes and
the wavy softness of her blonde hair.
Throwing back his shoulders and giving
his mustache twist he meandered
slowly by the young woman and gazed
tenderly into her face.
Presently a young man, who had hur-
ried across the Bowery, stopped in front
of the girl, and, raising his hat, spoke
few words to her. At the same in
slant the heavy hand of that policeman
fell on the young mans shoulder.
Here, here" growled the officer.
you'll have to come along with me-"
what for?" demanded the young
man, looking up in alarm.
"For mashin' this young lady," re-
piled the policeman.
"Why, she's my fancee."
"She's your what?"
"My fiancee"
"Aw, what are you givin' me. Don't
try any fancy business on me. Come
along"
But now the young lady herself spoke
up with: "Really, Mr.. Officer, this is
my young man. We are going to be
married"
The large red face of the policeman
became purple, and he seemed to have a
fit After he was able to speak he said
"Say, young feller, don't talk Portu
gee or Dutch to a policeman after this
If you'd said you and she was keeping
company first off there wouldn't have
been no trouble"
Satisfied that he had sustained his Of
fetal dignity, the policeman crossed the
Bowery and took up his stand on tn,
opposite corner.-N. Y. Sun.

proceedings were had:
ResoleUd, That the board meet on

taxation for the year 1891:

Mountain & Southern and Belmont
branch.
June Sth, 9th, 10th and 18th, for all
the other railroad, bridge and tele

tiers as may be presented for the con-
sideration of the Board.
County officials, the officers of rail-
roads, and all citizens who may be in
terested in the assessment of the rail-
road, bridge and telegraph property
in the State, and desire to be heard by

requested to take notice, and in order

1t was further resolved, that the
Secretary of the Board be, and he is
hereby directed, in addition to giving
this resolution to the correspondents

copy thereof to one county newspaper

such property.

Der barons were e-timable citizens,
and the country couldn't well get
along without them. Their methods
were rude, of course, but it was rude
age and they did things as we'll as
could be expected under the circum-
stances. Yet We take it if Bro Yea
zey had lived at that day and been
relieved of his goods and chattels. his
money and his bonds, he would have
kicked like bay steer, and wouldn't
have taken into account the commend
able fact that his property would soon
be distributed all over the land
"spent in the country" to the comfort
and delight of "the laboring man."
The billion dollar appropriation of to-
day is made possible by and is the re-
suit of meaner steal than its proto-
types of old: then the rich suffered
chiefly; aoW it is the poor who are
robbed by a system which overlooks
no man or woman or child in it's filch-
ings. If excessive taxation is justified
by excessive appropriation, of course
there is no wrong done. and there need
be no limit to one or the other. We,
therefore, suggest to Bro. Veazey that
Ne urge the Jefferson County Court to
appropriate million dollars - two
millions-five millions-the more, the
better-for the building of court
house and a railroad connecting Hills
boro with De Soto. 1t will be good
thing, and if the taxpayer kicks
and he is sometimes an unreasonable
mule-you can shut him up and make
him happy by reminding him that
the money-"every dollar"-will be
"spent in the country, and the labor
ing man is going to get the greater
part of it,"
