WGndrous ~nIcchnnism.

At n late fair in Brittany, France, a
monk from the Fricstine monastery OK
hibited a plain-loolling table with an in
laid chess board on It's surface. The in
v~cntor, or anyone so disposed, sets The
pieces for n game and then sits along at
one size of the table. However cau-
tiously he plays he is frequently check
mated by the pieces from the opposite
side, which move automatically across
the board. No matter how scientifcal-
ly the player plays the ghost-movcd
pieces frequently come out ahead. No
mechanism is apparent; to all intent

Tho Congo's Deep Mouth.
The London Society of Telegraph
Engineers and Electricians havc been
making soundings along the coast of
Africa with u view of laying n cable
from England to Cape Town. At the
mouth of the Congo they found n re-
marlsable state of affairs, their maps
and soundinys showing that that rivers
mouth is an extraordinary marine gully
of no less depth than fourteen hundred
and ffty-two feet! Tho mouth Of the Mis-
, sissippi ut an equal distance from shore
would only show thirty-thrce feet and
the Thames forty feet. The Congo's in
credible depths were traced for more
than one hundred miles out at sea.

Rev. F. S. Witter.

The Sacramento, CAL, Presbytery
which has jurisdiction over all the
Presbyterian churches in Nevada, will
send the Rev. L. S. Witter, late Pres
byterian pastor in Virginia City, to
fill the places made vacant by the re-
moval of Rev. John Wallace.
The following in relation TO him is
taken from the Virginia Enterprise:
"Rev. F. S. Wi,ier will preach his
farewell sermon in the Presbyterian
church here this morning, and it will
be with feelings Of deep regret Glsat
mis- congregation will listen. Prob
ably no minister Of that church has
accomplished more good on the Com
stock during its history. The rover
end gentleman has worked h4ost as
s%iduously in every avenue which a
minister Of the gospel must freud. To
detail his good works would require
more spt CO than is at the disposal Of
the the Enterprise this morning, but
afew Of them are given, for instance:
During the last four years Of business
depression in this community he has
not only kept the church doors open
every Sunday (where on many occa-
sions in more prosperous times they
have been closed), but he has actually
added to the membership OF his
church and increased the Sunday
school attendance while our popula-
ton has been rapidly dwindilng. AS a
visitor OF the sick Mr.. WitLer has
made hundreds Of warm friends, and
at the annual church entertainments
he has managed matters 80 we'll that
all debts have been paid and he will
leave a neat little balance in the
treasury,
ut eems strange to a worldly news.
paper nan that just as q minister Of
the gospel gets his hand in--in other
words, acquaints himself with the
people Of o town or city and shows
that he is doing efficient work, that he
should be reno. led; it is something
like sending a Congressman to wash
ington for one term-he hardly gets
on to the ins and outs Of Congression-
al life before his term expires, when
the chances are two to one that he
will find some one else elected to sue
ceed him.
"Rev. Mr.. Witter, like John the
Baptist, makes no complaint, but goes
forth cheerfuily without purse or
scrip to nov fields where probably
the best material is notwithstanding
with him toe good will OF ell who
ha, known him here"

there is very little in the game One side

which it uses it. It's brutality is about
equal to that of the prize fight. In the
prize fight however the men who are
pounded and perhaps killed are gen.
eral men who society is glad to
get rid of, while the young men
who are manned for life at foot
ball are young men Of worth, whom
society cannot afford to lose. The culti-
walton of athletic sports in our colleges
and schools is commendable, Tut such
sports should be selected as do not en-
danger life and limb and all others for

ball as ordinarily played is too dangerous
to be encouraged.

There is general demand in New York
from both Republicans and Democrats
for the amendment of the present ballot
law, and there is no doubt but the de-
mand will be responded to unless Gov.
Flower interferes to prevent, which is
hardly probable after the lesson he re-
ceived from the voters at the last cleo.
tion. The present ballot law was passed
largely at the dictation of Gov. Hill, the
paster ballot provision which is the cause
of most of the trouble being in
serted, because he refused to sign
a bill which did not contain IT,
The paster ballot was put in to pre-
vent the cutting of any obnoxious name
on the ticket. But the Democrats them
selves have got enough of it now, indeed
altogether too muchsof it, for it is, prob
arble that had it been easy for the voter
to have cut out an obnoxious name at
the recent election, the Democratic State
ticket would not have been so badly
beaten, perhaps not beaten at all.
Finding it difficult to cut MAYNARD
name and vote the rest of the Democratic
ticket, a great many Democrats gave IN
the attempt and voted the whole Repub-
lican ticket. Thus David Bennett Hill
and his fellow schemers were hoist by
their own petard.

There seems to be little room for doubt
that an income tax will be feature of
the new tariff bill, when it is reported
to the House. That it will still contain
that feature when it gets out Of the
House is not SO certain. Undoubtedly
such tax will be grateful to the South
for the very simple reason chat the
South will pay but small per
cent. of it, the great bulk of the
revenue from that source coming
from the North. 1t will be CRATE
full also to men imbued with the popu-
llstic idea that the rich and well-to-do
are robbers whom it is perfectly right to
compel to disgorge by taxation or any
other method which is practicable. An
income tax was feature of the platform
of the Populists. 1t is difficult to see,
however, how the Democrats are going to
make such a tax square with sstheir pro-
LESSONS. The objection which they
have most vigorously pressed against a
protective tariff has been that it discrimi-
mated against some people and in favor
of others. The same objection lies against
an income tax. If the limit Of exemp-
tion is fixed at $4,000 then everybody
whose income is below that figure is dis
eliminated in favor of, while everybody
who has more is Disseminated against
Such tax is obviously an unequal tax,
and unequal taxation is one of the things
which the Democratic party has persis-
tently and vociferously denounced for
many many, years. Such tax is practi-
cally fine imposed upon the we'll to do.
Now tax that is obviously unjust and
unequal is always obnoxious, and the
people upon whom it is laid feel justified
in avoiding it if they can. Hence such
tax as the committee on Ways and
Means propose to impose is going to
be an exceedingly difficult one to collect.
All sorts of schemes are going to be de-
vised to avoid it. An army of Federal
emissaries will be needed to collect it,
70 make it a success a system of espion-
age must be established that will be
exceedingly obnoxious to the people.
We have had experience with this kind
of tax, and the experience has been of
sort that ought to warn.a part that I'M
dertakes to inaugurate it that by so do
ing it is digging it's political grave.
