FIRlfERE IND TILE TARIEE.

Let us see. Free Traders told everybody that
the new tariff was particularly fraud in its
duties OH farm products, which would never be
worth solitary cent to anybody, and were
never intended to help any farmer. There were
some farmers who swallowed this information
and allowed it to influence their votes last
wear. much to their present disgust. They
really believed that the duties of the new tariff
would be of no real service, as Democrats as
serted, and were only intended TO pull the wool
over their eyes while larger duties were secured
for the benefit Of manufacturers. The poor
men were not much to blame for voting stupid
ly when they had once. come to believe so
stupdly, but the course of events is likely to
enighten them not little. A good many OF
them in New-York State, for example, entirely
appreciate the difference between getting about
rs cents for a good crop Of barley this year,
against 46 or as cents for comparatively short
crop at this time last year In almost every
part of the country illustrations can be found
but Just now one comes to light from doubtful
State in which the Democrats have expected
Free Trade to triumph.

of the autopsy shows not yellow lever Du'

diagnosis. Several other persons are i'll with

In these days of modern progress, what could
,e more absurd than the perpetiation of the
Office of Master of Hawks? In the blithesome
DAYS of "merrie England" no doubt, this Office
was one of dignity and honor, and it is possible
that long ago the salary may have been earned.
Sir. Yates declares in his cable dispatch this
week that it is now in reality perpetual pen
sion of 1865 year, drawn by the Duke of
st. Abans. Americans will not hesitate to de-
clare it a sign of advancement that this pension
Tor salary has been COMMITTED for s1s,335,
payable as an annuity of 92,17G annually. This
is only g small part of the deadwOOd which
might as well be weeded out from the legacies
which Englishmen of the present day have re-
ceiyed from their ancestors.

Superintendent Robbins, of the Sreet-Clean-
ing Department, reports that the flushing of
Hester-st., under the direction of the Street
Cleaning Aid Society, proves the efficacy Of this
method of securing clean streets. 1t is indeed
gratifying to learn that the sewers were not
cogged up as a result of the experiment last
Friday night, since no more dirt was washed
into the culverts than would have been carried
in by drenching rain. Whether this methoo
OF street cleaning can be applied to the entire
city seems to involve mainly the question Of
expense. Still, Engineer Loomiss estimate OF
the cost is less than the sum Commissioner
Beattie wishes to expend next year by and
with the advice and consent of the Board OF
Estimate

BEGINNING WITH A LUNCE.
A Japanese Sword Cut for Which N
Ordinary Man Is Unprepared.

The pictures and carvings of japan.
as rule, present the warriors armed
with two swords-one on each side,
says writer in the Kansas City Star.
This two-sword matter is more part
of ceremony and state than anything
else.
When a japanese means business he
only needs one sword. They are not
so skillful of fence as the Europeans,
but nevertheless have a number of cuts
and slashes. which. being in their nature
so many surprises, would give swords
man unused to their methods some lit
tie trouble.
The first move Jap makes in a
sword fight is fraught with danger to
his opponent. There are no prelimin-
aries with a Jap. The fight begins
with him while his blade is yet in its
scabbard. and as he draws his weapon
wisdom will give him about forty feet
of room.
Grasping the scabbard near the
center he slightly tilts it so that the
point of the sword as it hangs by his
side is. if anything. little higher than
the hilt. The sword itself is curved.
very heavy, and with its single edge as
keen as twenty razors.
When he draws it streams from the
scabbard like beam of light, and as it
comes he makes prodigious step for
ward with his right foot accompanying
the whole with rapid circular slash
upward of the back-handed sort The
whole performance is one motion, and
rapid in its execution as thought.
Your Jap will reach man a dozen
feet away, and the keen blade, starting
its work low, will split an opponent
like mackerel. A japanese swords
man always makes this upward sweep
on drawing his weapon. whether an
enemy is in sight or not.

THE RIO CRANDE.
A Stream Regarded with Veneration by
the Natives Along Its Course.

At point about midway in New
Mexico, from north to south the Rio
Grande takes on new character. says
GoLdthaOdite's Geographical Magazine.
The Rio Puerco (Nasty river) comes in
from the west, bringing down in thick
solution the soil of its alluvial valley.
The earth of the Rio Grande's banks in
this locality easily dissolves, and from
the mouth of the Rio Puerco south
ward the waters are liquid mud.
The great river both gives and takes
on its Journey to the sea. Smaller
streams join it from point to point,
some leaping to it down canyon bot
toms, others meandering as rivulets in
the middle of wide channels filled only
at flood, and often the waters of the
inlet, as in the case of the Rio de Santa
Fe, are hidden beneath the sands of 3
dry bed and ooze underground to join
the subterranean current of the great
stream. The river gives of its abund-
ance to the villages and cultivated
fields through acequias, or irrigating
bitches, that lead from it to the
grounds of the dwellers upon its
banks. Far enough up the channel to
secure the necessary fall to the lands
to be irrigated a little wing-dam OF
brush and stone serves to turn the
water from the stream into the bitches
which follow the bank at a slight de-
scent as compared with the downward
flow of the swift current. These canals
which at first run nearly at level.
parallel with the course of the stream.
as the rivers surface falls more and
more below them, seem to the untrain-
ed eye actually to climb the bank. and
the tenderfoot or uninitiated stranger
is ready, almost to assert that the Wa
ter in the ditch is running up hill.
The main canals that lead from the
river, which are known as acequias
madres (mother ditches). distributs
their waters into smaller waterways
leading into the separate fields; and
these bitches in turn, through burrows
like ramifying arteries. diffuse the wa
ter evenly over the cultivated ground.
No mannre is needed on lands thus ir-
rigated, for they are abundantly fer
tilted by the fine. rich detritus in the
water. There are productive fields in
the Rio Grande valley that have been
under continuous cultivation for 2OC
wears. The water drawn off for do
mestic use, when allowed to settle. is
excellent and the New Mexico nomad:
that thirstily seek its refreshing cur
rent it is regarded with veneratior
akin to that which the Egyptians anC
and Arabs bestow upon the Nile.

while from the north came the fierce
yells of the Apaches as they swept on
in pursuit of our two flying horses.
We ran for nearly mile, and then.
being almost exhausted by the violent
exercise, and hearing no sound of pur-
suit, we dropped into a walk.
We travelled steadily for three hours.
until we found ourselves among .
range of low, sandy hills, and there.
secreting ourselves in patch of mes
quite bushes that grew in a small can
yon, we rested for nearly an hour.
Then we resumed our journey, and by
travelling in circuitous route reached
Mason's ranch at sunrise the following
morning.
Thus ended one of the most danger
Gus adventures of my life, and but for
the shrewdness of a Mexican boy
should not be alive now to tell the
story.
Two weeks afterward, as we were
returning to Mutt station. we came up
on the dead bodies of our two horses,
which had been literally hacked to
pieces by the savages, so enraged had
they been on discovering the decep-
ton that had been practiced upon
them.-GOlde71 DGyS.

AS they fairly throb with late news.
Here's a Cabinet crisis, Cars ukase,
And more of the Grand Old Mans views.

With a long list of injured, alasI
Grave fears of another JohnstOwn flood,
And Queen Victoria at Grasse.

And Cleveland has written letter,
More Malta murderers, it's said, have been

To put in his pint quart cup
Discarding the worst and keeping the best,
And huStling around to make up"
And when at the last all the forms have gone

And all the late mails have been caught,
There comes to his dreams as in peace he

To meet the demands Of our increasing trade,
we have been compelled to devote our first
floor to the finer grades of Carpets, and Cur
tains, and we now have facilities for handling
and displaying our stock which will be alike
pleasing and satisfactory to ourselves and pa
trons-the rear being carpeted and fitted up
for the display of Curtains and Tapestries.
With our increased facilities for handling
these goods, our stock has been correspond
ingly enlarged, and we now pride ourselves on
having one Of the finest Carpet Rooms in
Northern Ohio. We feel that we are warrant
ed in assuring our friends that we can offer
them advantages, as an exclusive Carpet and

Bible Guessing Frauds.

The progress of Bible guessing fraud
has received sudden check at Dun
dee, where certain willy Scot has been
arrested on charge of extracting shil.

ing biblical students, says the Pail
Mall Budget. This was the kind Of
an advertisement he inserted in some
three hundred newspapers throughout
the country: "Prodigious! 4100 a
week.! 915O in cash prizes for count
ing the words in chapters i. and ii. OF
Joshua" 1t transpired that Fl. 200
had been received in reply to the ad-
vertisements (still unpaid), and lbs cd
had been given as prize money. The
presiding sheriff said he did not think
there were so many fools in the coun'
try ready to send money in answer to
such transparent fraud. The idea of
giving prizes he added, for counting
the words or letters in the New Testa-
ment was proposal which could be
made only by a rogue or a lunatic-
On prisoners agent objecting to the
sum fixed as bail, the sheriff remarked
He will be all the better of little time
for meditation. Send him the Book OF
Joshua and lei him count the number
of letters in it, Yet they say there's
no such thing rs wit in Scotsman.
