COST OF SOME BIG THINGS.

Buildings. Paintings. Books. Horses
and Cigars Which Represent Large
Amounts.
The magnificent national capitol at
Washington has cost, since the laying
OF the cornerstone in 1893, very
nearly $15.0OO,OOO, but the state
capitol of New York at Albany, al
though not yet completed according
to the architects designs, has already
cost almost $50, 100000, and is the
most expensive building OF modern
times. The largest and most expen-
siye city hall in the United States is
that of Philadelphia, and it's principal
tower is to contain the largest: clock
IN the world. The greatest price ever
paid for horse was $15O,OoO, given
by Malcolm Forbes, of Boston, for
Arion, which he bought from Sena-
tor Stanford, Of California. Axtell,
the trotter, brought SlO5, 900 when 8
years old, while In 1891 st. Blaise
was sold for $1OO,O0O. One hundred
and three thousand dollars has been
offered and refused for a Hebrew bible
aoav in the library of the vatican at
Rome. This makes it the most valu-
able book in the world, so far as dol
lars and cents go. In 1886, when the
entire Dutch nation was crazy upon
the subject of tulips, single bulb was
sold for $4,000. At such prices it
would pay better to raise tulips than
to own the most valuable gold mine
in the world.
Speaking OF gold mines,~ where do
you suppose the most valuable bit of
ore ever smelted in the world, so far
as>known, was found? asks Harper's
Young People. In California or Aus
tralia or India? No, indeed 1t was
lot containing 200 pounds ofquartz
holding gold at the rate of $4,000
per ton. ~. and was found
in mine at Ishpeming, Mich,
The costl!ests cigars ever exported
from Havana were quantity made
expressly for the Prince of Wales and
valued at 1877 apiece in the factory
The largest sum ever asked or Of
fered for q single diamond was 49,
$780, 900, which the Prince of Hydera-
bad, in India agreed to give the jeweler
who then owned the imperial, which
is considered the finest stone in the
world. The shah OF Persia and the
sultan OF Turkey each possesses q
prayer mat, or rug made of diamonds
and pearls, and valued at something
over $2,5OO,OOO apiece. The largest
and most expensive rug in the world,
made OF the ordinary materials OF
which such things are manufactured
is owned by the Carlton club, OF Lon
don. A broken wooden horse with
which Napoleon Bonaparte played
when child was recently sold for
1000 francs. Think OF paying $780,
900 for q single meal. That is what
a wealthy Roman once did when he
wished to impress dozen guests with
his disregard for riches. The most
valuable Of modern paintings is Meis-
sonier's 1884," which was bought
by a Frenchman for $4,000. The
same gentleman paid $15O,OOO for
':The Angelus," by Millet, of which
you all have doubtless seen photo.

In the Coils Of a Python,

Not many persons have been Rugged
by an angry and hungry python four
teen feet long and haye escaped. One
man had that experience recently,
and he probably would not now be
alive had assistance not arrived just
in time. He is Superintendent
Stephen Of the Cincinnati Geological
Gardens, and he was engaged in talk
ing all the snakes out OF cage and
putting them into box in order to
make some changes in the cage.
There were several boa-constrictors
and one big python, and all were
active, as they had not been fed for
some time, which with a. big snake
means for a week Or two. -.
Mr.. Stephens had succeeded in put
ting all the snakes into the box except
the python, which, when his back was
turned, made rush at him. He saw
it coming, and as he could not
escape, he seized the great serpent
by the neck with his right hand, and
with his left cIutched it's body about
a foot behind the head where the
muscles are strongest. The snake
instantly coiled about Mr.. Stephens
legs, and a contest Of strength and
endurance began. 49,.
Finally MIR. Stephens was obliged
to loosen his grip upon the serpent's
neck. Instantly the great mouth
seized his hand and swallowed it to
the wrist, closing its jaws as it did
SO, aud breaking a fang in the mans
flesh. The pain reused him, and he
clutched the snakes throat until it
gasped for breath, when he drew out
his imprisoned hand. At that point
attendants rushed into the cage and
beat the python until it uncoiled, and
Mr.. Stephens was released. Fortu-
nately the bite OF the python is not
poisonous.

Lively for the Letter-Writer.

The carelessness of danger which
characterizes certain soldiers does not
always extend to certain persons
about them. The French Marshal,
Bugead, was once debating, very near
battlefield, a letter to his secretary.
As the general spoke the words of
his letter, a bomb from the enemy 8
camp fell just in front OF the door OF
his tent. The general went on talking,
but the secretary seized his paper and
half rose from his seat.
s.Why are you stopping" asked the
marshal.
'sThe bombl' gasped the secretary.
Have said anything about a
bomb?"
II "No-but-the- homb-the bomb,'
Now what said the marshal, i'm
patiently, "has the bomb got to do
with the letter am debating to you?
Go on with your Writingp

THE SYMBOLS.
IN MEMORY OF DANIEL DoueHERrY.

IN MEMORY OF DANIEL DoUGHERTY.
Pure of heart and sound of head,
Loyal friend and honest Toe,
When the fight was thick you led,
When the nations sun was low,
You to all the Best were true!
No evil aim, no evil thing
MARRIED the glory of your days;
Alas! hat criefshould have its sting;
And we be late with words of praise
OfalI the good and truth in you.
Come, let us lay violet crown
Upon the grave we love so well.
That grave in which our hearts lie down,
And feel the sweet and bitter spell
OF love whose life IS gloomed by grief.
A violet crown, not only bays,
But from your lips rare poesy sprung;
A violet crown for allyour days
Were great with fine things thought and
done;
And in your crown no withered leaf.
Hewas Athenian, yet Christs son,
+ ne as Greek, with Christian heart;
Corinthian deeds were Christly done;
He chose, of will, the better part.
And We, not he, have pain ofloss.
A violet crown | claim for him
Him of the tongue and heart of gold;
Who is there that speaks shame of him?
Not one: . you new Greek OF old,
For you the violets and the cross!

ing is both amiable and amusing.
An exchange says that servant
sent money to Ireland to pay the
passage of her sister to Boston. She
was to come by the Cephalonia.
Meanwhile thegi watched the papers
daily to see whether the steamer had
arrived. At last she found the desired
item, but it came to her as a terrible
disappointment, and she ran to her
mistress in q state of distress.
"The Cephalonia has got in" she
said,' but oh, saints in heaven, an
accident has happened to her!'' Us
"What is it?" said the mistress. She
took the paper, and this was what she
read:
"The Cephalonia below; she has
broken her record"

is more of this wonderful (P) dispatch,
as follows:
"Mrs. Logan and Mrs. Sherwood of
Canton made some very fiery speeches.
Details can be given later"
Whether this refers to Celia Logan
or Mrs. John A. Logan, the Rep. don't
state, but as Celia Logan was not
present at the W. r. @. convention, and
as Mrs Gen, John A, Logan made no
speeches it is probable some
other Logan, manufactured especially
for the Reps. grapevine news line. AS
to Mrs. Sherwood of Canton she was
four days out of Washington, and in
New York before the Reps. fake dis

idea for the Rep. editor to join the

A GREAT SCHEME.

Labor Crusher Morgan is also scared
over the tariff and has sprung new
issue on the credulous and unsuspect-
ing public. He appeared at East Liv.
erpool one day last week, dressed in
imported English broadcloth, upon
which the blasted 'Henglish had paid
the duty; and gave out we'll prepared
interview in the East Liverpool News.
Review; in which Morgan agrees, in
case he is elected to Congress TO make
move for better wagon roads in Ohio
Lest we be accused of misrepresenta-
tion we quote from the interview, as
copied into Mr.. Morgan's home organ
the Alliance Review:
l know from personal experience
how necessary good roads are to be the
welfare of any community, and think
it takes rank in Importance with the
improvements of rivers and harbors.
What one does to the sections affected
by water the other aids districts where
steamboats, are almost unknown and
trade is carried on by The country road.

Trade and delegate of the national
organization l feel it my duty to make
it part of my work. / think that
Congress will take the matter up sooner
or later, and the sooner it is done, just
so soon will the farmer and townsman
reap some benefit"
Just how Congress will obtain juris.
diction over the townships, Mr.. Morgan
does not explain. Mr.. Morgan proba-
bly, does not know the difference be-
tween a navigable river, which is re
garded as an artery of commerce, and a
country road. Mr.. Morgan should go
to night school; and if there is none
in Alliance, Editor Phelps should start
one without delay. This is great dis
trict, peopled by men and women Of
high average intelligence, and we can
not afford to have Congressman sit
ting in our marble walled Capitol, who
don't know the difference between a
navigable river and real estate.

"A
Saturday.
On Saturday, October 1, 1892, the home
of p. V. Loutzenheiser and wife at No.

feastinR and merry making in general.
Ths occasion was intended as surprise

he would not acknowledge that he was

of Peter Loutz nheiser, who arrived in
America before the Revolutionary war.

Will the Leader explain what is
meant by this difference. We fail to
catch the nub of the comparison. For
instance, John L. Sullivan was in
Boston on Sunday last, where he went
to church. The same Sunday the editor
of the Leader profaned by working on
his wicked paper until 2:30 a. m, then,
after taking drink, he went to bed
and slept until long after church. Ac-
cording to the Leaders logic John L.

Evening Rep. editor has sent out an
interview with the Major in which he
expresses the opinion that he has no
fears of the result in November. 1t is
only two years ago this October that
the Major made speech in Kalamazoo,
in which he said he had no fears of the
result in November. But when No
vember came where were they? The
Republican party met the most disas-
trous defeat in its entire history. This
year all the signs of the times point to
an overwhelming Republican disaster.

really great poets, Dryden is the one
least indebted to women, and to whom
in return women are least Indebted
Dryden married Lady Elizabeth How
ard, daughter Of the Earl of Berkshire;
but not all the blood of all the Howards
could make her wise or amiable, or
make her behave Decomingly. Hence
Dryden, like the tiDware merchant, got
off his copjugal coach. He wrote as
follows:
"The wife of one who is to gain his
livelihood by poetry must either have
taste enough to relish her husbands
performance, or good nature sufficient
to pardon his inflrmities."

Times.
How came Mckinley to forget this
protection when he framed his famous
protection bill. But we suspect h e
omitted this protection on purpose.
These paupers come in under the reel.
procity clause of the famous Mckinley
bill. They are imported free of duty,
for the benefit of the benefciaries of
the tariff. They represent Republican
reciprocity. The men who put up the
Doodle to make the tariff high enough
to exclude foreign goods and wares, get
control of the American market there
by,aand then they control the labor
market, byifree importations of Euro

AND now the Mckinley tariff has
established another great industry. A
thrilling despatch comes to us from the
frost nippei prairies around Decatur,
Ills, that man named Rome r.. Rich
mond, is about to establish pearl but
ton factory at Decatur, on account of
the increased tariff on pearl buttons
vouchsafed in the Mckinley bill He
is not going to use the imported shells,
but has a scheme to gather snail shells
along The Sangammon river. AS New
York is in danger we suggest that
another pearl button factory be estab-
lished on the Hudson river, and that
shad scales be. used for shells. They
are more glossy than the snail shells of
the Sangammon. BY the way why not
have a pearl button factory in Canton,
the home of the idol of protection. The
country along the Nimishiilen is full of
suckers" We could use sucker teeth
for shells. They are said to polish
beautifully.

MCKINLEY put an enormous tariff
on pottery to protect the pottery lords
of East Liverpool, who have always
been liberal contributors to the bribe
money fund of all his Congressional
campaigns. But how has this increased
tariff touched the wages of the pottery
workers of East Liverpool? Why, it
is a notorious fact, that these same
workers are getting 40 per cent less
than when the pottery tariff was only 20
per cent. Talk is cheap, but this is the
record.

MekINlsY KNOCKED ouT.

The contention that the foreigner is
made to pay our tariff taxes does not
cloud the mind Of Mr. Harrison's At
torney General when he is not making
political harangues. In a late opinion
relating'to protests made by importers
against customs appraisements Attor-
ney General Miller exposes the fraudu-
lent claim of Mckinley, that the for
eigner pays the duty, in the following
tersa legal style. 1t is pretty tough to
have the Mckinley knocked out In
this way in the home of his best
friends. Here is what Attorney Gen
eral Miller says:
"Tne contests between these import
ers and the government is a very un.
equal one. Before it begins they have
received their goods and sold them
with the duties as liquidated included
in the price, and they are, of course,
content to wait indefinitely for posi-.
BILE refund of duties in which they
really have no longer interest, because
the consumer has already paid them,
This hoped for refund, If realized, is, as
experience indicates, sometimes liber-
ally divided with third parties, who
may be said with truth to be more in
terested in the contest with the gov.
ernment than the importers themselves,
who must often be at loss to under
stand on what ground they are entitled
to recovery from the' government
But the real party in interest in such
cases, the taxed consumer, the remedy
of the law unfortunately does not, and
could not, practically reach"
