tion OF the tariff. We are taxed on every
interest; blood is not only extracted from
the larger veins of the body polite, but
it is bound hand and foot and covered all
over with gallinippers, which are allowed
to suck blood from every vein." The
party did not even accuse him of being
bought by British gold.

was conducted while driving OK teams
with wheat to market fifty or sixty miles
away. These trips we're taken dozer

possess one of the finest ecclesiastical
seminaries in this country, thanks to the
generosity OF J. J. Hill, the railway presi-

of such an institution. The plans for the
seminary have been approved, and the
contracts are now out. There are to be
seven buildings in all, the estimated cost
of which will be $500, 600; and Dr.. Ireland
hopes to have the seminary ready for
students at the commencement Of the
scholastic year Of 1893.

seen Napoleon III. in the days of the
empire, called upon the fallen monarch
at Chiselhurst in 1872. Another Phila-
delphian, Morton MacMichael, was with
him, and the OK empress Eugene assisted

at royal courts, the signal was given them
which terminated their stay. Pulling
dainty watch from her girdle, the ex-
empress said: Gentlemen, you have just
ten minutes to catch your train.'
