The Few Tariff Bill.

The Democratic members of the
WAYS and Means committee have made
public the tariff bill which they nave
prepared AZ meetings from which tie
minority Ut The committee were rigidly
excluded.
1t il not measure in accordance
with .he platform III the party. Il is
not tariff for revenue only but a tariff
for the protection OF many articles,
selected apparently for political mot
ives, and without regard to any guild
ing principle Articles which, under
an honest and intelligent application of
the principles of tariff for revenue
would be- subject to duty, like tee,
coffee and sugar are kept on the free
list, and Other articles which, if the
bill were framed merely for revenue
purposes, would be put on the free list,
are subjected to pretty stiff protective
duty.
As the bill stands no one can estimate
with any proximate accuracy what
amount Of revenue it will yield. 1t is
not a scientific revenue bill, but shaped
with reference to making show of
doing something while exposing party
interest TO the least hazard. Such APP

FROM ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT.


News of general interest is scarce
article here. We never do anything
very good or very bad, just live along
on a monotonous dead level. | some
times fancy that we take the example
set US by the river no noise. no buster,
but silent and sure we get there on
time
Friday night a Merchants Carni-
vap' was given under the auspices of
the free high school, the proceeds to 90
towards buying school library. The
show was rOmplete success, eclipsing
anything ever seen in the town and the
management deserve great credit.
We are agitating the question Of
water works. The progressive men
are all in favor of it and rightly argue
that it would be fine thing both for
pure drinking water and in case of
fire. We have ur surpassed na.dral
advantages for waterworks and if we
get them put in it will make Cassville
without peer as pleasant place to
live.
There is less sickness aud fewer
deaths in Cassville than any other place
of its size in the country. There are
no cases of malaria and only three
cases of contagious diseases during the
last year, all imported.
We have natural scenery unsur
passed probably in the world and i
our good people would only brace up
and mend the front yard fences we
could be proud of our town.
Please excuse lack Of personal news
this time as do not know of any and
don't suppose it would be of any inter-
est to your readers if did.
Yours &c, WASHINGTON STUBBs.

they were the two richest Drawers in

because their beer was the Durest, or

Queer Betrothal Customs.

"They have queer betrothal custom
down among the common natives or Pc
ons of Guatemala" said Alfred Thomp-
son, (which is scarcely romantic for the
girl. l was passing the hut Of native
on inca or coffee plantation one day,
when saw an old woman belaboring her
daughter with a good-sized stick which
she applied vigorously across the shoul-
ders and body of her beloved offspring,
who set up walls of woe and pain, though
| fancy her tears were quickly dried, for
it was significant event to her. This is
the way the old lady gave her consent to
the marriage of her daughter.
"The natives receive but little cash
during the year. The priests charge what
is there considered q good sum for per-
forming 9 marriage ceremony and the
natives Of the lower class dispense with
1t. The mother beats the daughter, there
is feast of frijoles and tortills cakes and
by the dispensation of unlimited auanti-
ties of native whisky, everybody is happy
and drunk, and that constitutes the mar
riage, which, singular as it may appear.
is regarded and observed, as rule, faith
ully."-Washingto Star.

"The Squire did not carry any great
amount Of ready money with him, but be
had letters Of credit and exchange for :
sum that would dwarf the capital stock
Of pretentlons banks into significance.
The squire's great income of $4,000 day
was derived from the rental of valuable
real estate and wharfage property in Lon
don. Large a. Il is, 1t will be enhanced
before long. Some Of the property was
under . ninety mine year lease, and these
leases will expire before long. The prop
erty has greatly increased in value, and
when the leases are renewed they will
call for larger rental than they are now
yielding.
''In the last decade the sporting Squire
has backed all the best knewn fighters in
England. Generally he has been unfor-
tunate in selections, and has lost small
sized fortune in the prize ring. He cared
nothing about the financial loss, but it
was source Of great modification and
chagrin to him to be behind loser. In
the past few years he has backed Jem
Smith, Paddy Slavin, Jem Carney, Ted
Pritchard, Bill Goode and Jim Hall, and
was behind Charlie Mitchell. When in
England Jim Carney had the same job
that Mitchell had here, that of bodyguard
to the Squire, for which he was paid the
munifcent sum of $1,000 annually"

Nice Rifle Shooting.

"The finest rife shot that ever walked
the soil of the west was man named
King WooIsey, an old timer who LIVED
near Yuma, Arizona, in the good old stage
days of the west, said Wallace McLaurin
''This man Woolsey was originally from
Ohio. He moved to Arizona in his early
childhood.
"When he was about the age of 10 his
father and mother wer killed and scalped
by the Apaches. He hid in the rocks and
escaped.
''Five years later; when he was mere
boy, he went on the warpath for the
Apaches, and he never spared one. He
could not count exactly how many be
had killed in his life.
"The last time saw him was one day
while the stage stopped to let the horses
rest near Texas Hill, on the ella river, in
1879. His fame as rifle shot had spread
all over the west, and the mention of his
name filled the Apaches', heart with fear
and trembling.
1.-THE passengers persuaded him to give
an exhibition of his Workmanship, and
he consented. He nailed board on the
side of his little shanty, and put 100 balls
at distant of 100 yards in the same place,
without the difference of 10th of an inch
in 100 shots.
"He then drove the nails into the boards
with ten more shots. Every one ap-
plauded Then he took common bullet,
tied it to an enthusiastically small thread,
fastened the thread to the limb Of tree
twenty feet above the ground, placed
small-neck bottle on the ground, and
started the bullet swinging to and fro.
"He walked back fifty PAGES, wheeled
suddenly around and fired.
swell, gentlemen, you may stuff me
with sawdust and exhibit me at the
Worlds Fair as the best liar in the uni.
verse if Woolsey didn't cut that string in
twain with his rife ball, and make the
bullet drop in the mouth of that bottle"
