without q Rival.

The New Orleans Picayune's Har-
~riston, Miss, special says: Coleman
Blackburn, colored, stands to-day
without u rival for strength OF neck.
On the Goth instant he was hanged
for murder, and to-day was able to
walk around the room and converse
with friends. After having hanged
FOR thirty-eix minutes and being pro-
nounced dead by three local ply
sicians, the supposed corpse was
turned over To his relatives and taken
to Franklin county, thirty-five miles
distsut. When en- route to the burial
ground a noise was heard in the coffin,
and whom opened the supposed dead
man wss found to be breathing. Ply
slciaus were summoned and the pa

SWEDISH SPECIE.

Pieces OF Money Weighing Four Pounds
. Coin Arc Sent to the Worlds Fair.
Some curious copper pieces of money
were received at the custom house re-
Gently for Gustavus Stemberg, a
Swedish dealer in coins, who intends to
exhibit them at the worlds fair. The
coins came from Sweden, where they
circulated in the sixteenth century,
and e more resemblance to pieces Of
boiler iron after IN explosion than
money.
The coins are great fiat pieces Of
copper, cut into squares. The smallest
coin is four inches square and worth
thirty cents. The largest is over a foot
square and with a face value of four
dollars, and weighs four pounds. Each
slab Of copper is stamped in several
places with an inscription giving the
date of its issue and it's denomination.
These enormous and cumbersome
coins were the result Of q craze which
prevailed several hundred years ago for
the exclusive use Of copper for money.
In those days wealthy ladies were COM
PEELED to hire an attendant to accom-
pany them to carry a basketful of the
coppers while shopping. -,

U

Occasional admissions Of tho truth
are careleesly made by Republican
leaders aud q glimpse OF their utter
insinoerity ID afforded the people.
When tho sundry civil appropriation
bill was under consideration in the
house, our own Julius Cesar Burrows
was able to have stricken out q pro-
vision that articles imported for the
use of tho lighthouse board should
como in free of duty. The idea that
the government should pay a tariff to
itself for goods imported to be used
by itself will strike the average Amer
loan citizen as absurd. 1t would be
merely taxing money from n pocket
to put into another. The net result
would be precisely the same, whether
duties were paid or not.
While the proposition referred to
was under discussion, Mr. Reed moved
TO increase the proposed appropria-
ton from $4,000 to $4Os,OO0, stating
that the bill reported was meant to
appropriate 100000, plus the duty,
making o total Of 100000. That is,
according to Reed. the government,
HI the purchaser of lighthouse sup
plies through its board, must pay out
All extra $4,000 because Of it's present
adherence TO protection. In making
this motion Mr.. Reed forgot the Re-
publican theory that the foreigner
pays all protective duties. Ii such
we're the case the mere fact OF strik-
ing out that part Of the bill which al
lowed the needed article to be i'm
ported free Of duty, would afford no
r'ason for increasing the a%ppropria-
1,on by tho amount required for the
l.tynent Of such duty. In this case
government is the consumer, and
it was sought to increase an apprc-
priation over tan per cent. in order to
nOet the extra cost imposed by the
tariff. Yet, or the stump, this same
Mr.. Reed, and his associates in agreat
political confidence game, will tell
the people that the tariff is not q tax.
The fact that he has let slip the truth
will not restrain the campaign lie.-

sARY'S THINGS ALWAYS SAFE.

Even the Kl0ptomAniae Respects ThoIr
OWnorship.
Do1ensof baby carriages stand packed
along the pavements of Fourteenth and
T~wenty-third streets in front of the big
retail stores on pleasant afternoons,
say the New York Herald. Sometimes
there Is q baby in one or more, but they
are usually empty of infantile live
stock. The rest of the family parapher4
nalia is invariably left to take its
chances in the street while the owner
of the outfit assaults the bargain count
er. There is one thing ~measurably safe
in New York-"baby's things" If
other peoples children are not exactly
sacred in a woman's eyes she entertains
a sentiment as to her own offspring
which scorns the belongings of another
baby. She is more than apt to look
Hskance upon every passing perambu-
tator as the possible precursor of fever,
whooping cough, measles or some other
dire afhiction common to infantile man.
kind, and gives it as wide a berth as
circumstances may allow.
1t would be a poor investment for the
Industrious and nimble-fingered shop
litter to take "baby's things even if
she got q good chance, for there would
be no market for them. Even the more
refined kleptomaniac, who steals with
out knowing why, just because she was
born that way and cannot help it,
knows better than to do that, for she
steals only for the home market. Thus
''baby's things" can be left on the
crowded sidewalks from luncheon till
shutdown without danger of loss. And
thus they are left from hour to hour
every pleasant afternoon, while the
mother wrestles with the problem of
getting twenty dollars worth of goods
for a ten-dollar note; and the wheels of
the perambulators grow clean and
bright under the constant friction of
spring trousers and tailor's gowns.
